scans_dailyYup. Should have seen it coming, with around a year until the next part of Nolan's Batman trilogy on the way, we have now seen the unveilling of... VIRAL VIDEOS!
They seem to be about an outbreak at Arkham and fires spreading across the city whilst some people appear to be chanting Bane's name.
Here is the facebook address they were showing off,

Date: 2011-06-04 11:21 am (UTC)Ideas I've heard about what they could be saying so far
Date: 2011-06-04 11:30 am (UTC)- "Dispara Mata" = "Fire, kill". But "fire" here refers to shooting a gun.
- "Bane is rising!"
- "PEIXE ESPADA PEIXE ESPADA" = "Swordfish swordfish" in Portuguese *shrug*
- "This is Sparta Sparta!"
- "It is Batman!"

Date: 2011-06-04 12:26 pm (UTC)Spada means sword, so it could make sense.
.... It is Batman is very unlikely, as is Sparta XD

Date: 2011-06-04 12:44 pm (UTC)I mean the twitter thing is legit, and it sends out that teaser pic of Bane to everyone. Supposedly some of the films cast, notably Joseph Gordon-Levitt, were some of the first to follow said Twitter.

Date: 2011-06-04 02:00 pm (UTC)And yes, the twitter is legit, but unless it links to the youtube channel, it doesn't prove anything either way. And all it's been doing is spamming the link to the Bane image to anyone who uses thefirerises hashtag.

then shortened to "...-para".
then repeated to again "-ra, -ra."
Literally dispara means "to fire", the order of an execution squad commander telling his troops to kill."ready, aim, FIRE!"
It's all a Spanish play on words, as "the fire rises" in Spanish slang means "the killing never stops."
"Dispara para rara."
It's the chant of a latin government death squad.

Date: 2011-06-04 02:48 pm (UTC)Well, the twitter hashtag that was used to bring about the initial Bane image was "the fire rises." Any chance it could be that?

Date: 2011-06-04 03:06 pm (UTC)On one hand, I can see your point--but isn't the whole point about these things is to have people search around for this stuff? Besides, I would think that WB would make sure to get "The Fire Rises" on every social network" just to make sure that something like a fake wouldn't happen.

Sort of like the old Greek idea = one crisis, one Spartan. But instead of solving social unrest, this one soldier starts it.
