Of course, In No Man's Land, Bane gets hired by Lex to destroy the hall of records so that Luthor can basically buy the city and own Gotham. There'd have to be SOME kind of a reference to Lex, even if viral isn't entirely official.

Highly doubt this will have any mention in the movie. Probably just something that was thrown in there by a fan who worked on the material. Nothing to get excited about.

I don't think these are "official" viral sites.

They are all connected to the fanfic site http://catwoman-cattales.com

And Gotham Post has been running at least since 2007

I think this is fanmade. Doubt they'd mention Lex Corp in continuity to Nolan's Bat films.

You act like Nolan had a personal say in these things and it wasn't just something someone decided to put together in their marketing department.

Just like some extra was allowed to have a Robin styled "R" be shown in the football game.

I am getting really curious to know what will happen in the end of this movie. I remember when Empire Strikes Back was made and the scene where Vader reveals the father thing was done with no crew around; just the two actors and the camera. That was so nobody would really know what was done and ANY rumors would have been false. It is plausible with Nolan as the maker of this film that he did something similar with Christian Bale. I wouldn't be surprised if the other actors in this film may think they know the ending, but actually don't due to an extra scene being done with nobody knowing about it, or, at least not knowing what it was.
