Is the pit in Dark Knight Rises a representation of Ra's Al Ghul's Lazarus pit?

At the risk of merely stealing someone else's hypothesis (due in some part to there being no official word on the matter), I would point you to this thread at superherohype.com where some excellent points have been made, including:



the chant which the inmates recite is in Moroccan; can't be coincidental that it is Ra's al Ghul's native language



Talia is the one who is born in it and escapes it, not Bane



The League seems to be the only thing from the outside world that knows the Pit's location



when Bruce was first in the Pit, he was there as a paraplegic but when he left he was fully "healed," albeit not supernaturally



One of the commentators then posted the following image which seems to correlate with the events in the film, but actually depicts a lazarus pit:

I can't take the credit for these ideas (which seem quite conclusive to me), but I am happy to make them available to you ;)
