Did the prisoners in the pit know who Bruce Wayne was?

Question

During the whole imprisonment of Bruce Wayne in The Dark Knight Rises, did the prisoners know who he was, specifically that he was the Batman? I think they only knew him to be a friend of Bane.

Did they have any idea that Batman and Bruce Wayne were the same person?

Answer 1

I don't remember any of the prisoner making any comment about Bruce Wayne while he is kept captive in the pit.
Therefore, I would think that nobody knows who he is.
After all, they are prisoners with few information coming from the outside world. Furthermore, their prison is in a country far away from where Bruce Wayne's activities are famous.
When he escapes, the prisoners cheer up not for who he is, but for what he has done : beaten the pit and showed all the prisoners that it was possible to escape, thus giving them great hope.
