Is this prison in Gotham or somewhere else? Bane and Bruce seems to travel between the two rather quickly. It seems like a Middle Eastern location when Talia's mother is dropped in.

Any ideas?

Just FYI the shooting of the place surrounding the pit was in a fort in Jodhpur articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-10/news-interviews/… – Aashish Katta Jul 24 '12 at 5:18
The time lapse going on during the whole siege montage gives him plenty of time to somehow make it. I think he tries the wall the 3rd time, not long after the TV shows the siege at 84 days. So if he gets out within that week, he has 2 months or so to get back to the US and into Gotham. – user1766 Jul 26 '12 at 3:45

The pit in the Dark Knight Rises is located is near the fort of Mahendragarh in India. It's located near Thar Desert in the Rajasthan state. I have seen local news paper headlines of the Dark Knight Rises team visiting here for shooting...

Considering the chanting we hear ("Deh-shay, deh-shay bah-sah-rah, bah-sah-rah,") is Moroccan, I think we can assume the pit is is North Africa somewhere.

+1 for the useful link. – Dredd Jul 23 '12 at 21:55
Now to my next question, How did he get from Morocco to Gotham(which I am guessing is in New York)? – karthik Jul 24 '12 at 5:45
Ahh, that's the $64,000 question. The answer: movie physics. – Nobby Jul 24 '12 at 12:11
@karthik Well, there passed some time during this whole occupation of Gotham and I'm sure even a poor Bruce Wayne finds a way back to Gotham in maybe 1-3 days. The harder question is how he actually got into the occupied city, but he'll manage that, too, I guess. – Christian Rau Jul 26 '12 at 19:45

My issue with this answer is that it claims the phrase is Moroccan. There are two distinct languages in Morocco: Moroccan Arabic and Berber. I did some digging and it looks like nobody can really agree on what language this is, but most people agree it isn't Moroccan Arabic. The article may just be blowing smoke (it does say "which is apparently Moroccan" without any conviction or sources). I don't think that an assumption about language is enough to support this answer. – SocioMatt Sep 24 '12 at 16:03
