Maybe he is the creator of Bane's mysterious device?

Probably negotiations, setting up the plan for Bane's arrival to Gotham. If not then probably an old record hinting on Bane's untold origin. :P

bummed he's not Hugo Strange. Don't know what this means though. Probably bane related. Isn't Modine's character supposed to be CIA? Maybe he's following this guy and that's how he comes to Gotham.

Well I deciphered it and it says that Pavel is actually The Mad Hatter!

Maybe he designed the spherical weapon/bomb that is shown with Bane.

@Steping- Yes. And the trailer was shown at a Russian Film Expo today, so we might get a decent description sooner or later.

I was literally just wondering if The Dark Knight Rises would have a viral campaign like The Dark Knight did. Really pleased to see it kicking off.
MovieMaster
MovieMaster - 12/7/2011, 2:58 PM
The thing that intrigues me is that it says on the first pic that he has 2 kids.

Tajin88 - 12/7/2011, 3:00 PM
@MovieMaster- Not the trailer was shown there, it was the teaser we already saw.
