Point being, if we're supposed to be working under the assumption, as Bruce Wayne is, that the child is Bane, then the fact that Bane is attacked by the inmates and thus needs the mask makes no sense at all. (In fact, in this whole scene, they show the child climbing to freedom while the protector is pulled down by the prisoners, so if we'd simply stopped and thought about it...)

you're right....I knew you'd know with your access to the movie. I just couldn't remember the whole scene.
