The picture I found earlier:
So I came across this image on tumblr earlier (I know...reliable) and its currently blowing my mind. It appears to be some sort of makeup test for a severely beaten Christian Bale, which leads me to believe this is the future handywork of Bane. Those of you familiar with the comics will recall the Knightfall storyline in which Bane breaks the Batmans back. Till now theres only been theories as to exactly what Banes role will be in the new film.
NOW...having said that, I know Bale's been filming "The 13 Women of Nanjing" recently, so it is possible this is a photo from THAT production, but he plays a priest in that film, and I'm not sure why that character would have his ass handed to him as badly as this photo suggests.

So what do you guys think? Early makeup test for the next Christopher Nolan bat-film? From 13 Woman? Just someone very handy with photoshop?
