Is The Dark Knight Rises Viral The Prologue Plot?

The viral marketing campaign for the Dark Knight - tracking Harvey Dent's political campaign and the chaos caused by the Joker helped raise interest in Nolan's sequel to near-rabid levels. With The Dark Knight Rises less than 12 months away the launch of a similar campaign over recent days has sent the Internet into meltdown. What we've got so far is 3 leaked CIA documents and I have a theory about what they mean.

Viral #1


Viral #2


Viral #3


My theory is these documents have been leaked to raise interest before the Dark Knight Rises Prologue is screened before IMAX showings of Mission Impossible 4 in a couple of weeks. Total Film reported previously a rumoured plot for the prologue

"Bane and his mercenaries hijack a military plane transporting a dictator of a country which is in unrest (think Saddam Hussein type figure). 
'He successfully kills the leader, but makes some mistakes along the way and is unable to safely land the plane. 
'Because of the resulting injuries from the accident, he has to undergo complicated surgeries and that is how he winds up with that scar down his neck and the need for the mask to numb the pain.'

Is 'Operation Early Bird' the mission in question?

Is Bane the Operative FO439 in charge?

Is Alon Abutbul set for a William Fitchner style role in the prologue as Dr Pavel?

Is Dr Pavel the target (as opposed to a dictator)? The documents seem to suggest he is based in a country full of milita

Will the prologue end with the botched Hijack of Dr Pavel that results in Tom Hardy turning into the Bane we've seen so far?

Only a couple of weeks to see if I'm right a Mission Impossible 4 opens December 16th in USA and Boxing Day here
