english is not my native language and I dont understand this dialogue

can you actually say "I'm CIA" ?

it sounds a bit funny in german
>>
We're really not strict about grammar. It didn't strike me as odd in the cinema.
>>
It's actually perfectly fine to say, I guess it's just more common to say "I'm from the CIA" or "I'm CIA agent __" so the baneposters memefied it
>>

What he meant is it didn't matter who he was.
What mattered was the big idea.
This is why he simply said he's CIA which is in fact just a huge agency, and not one single person. Bill Wilson is a representation of an idea - a metaphor.
Nolan is a genius when you truly think about it.

Bane's an anarchist or some shit, so - natuerlich - an officious, tool-of-the-state guy who says 'I'm CIA' gets his shit wrecked.
>>
>>71188192
Its actually not that odd. J. Edgar Hoover (the head of the FBI for a long time) used to refer to the Central Intelligence Agency as CIA. As in "those ninnies at CIA..." What is weird is that one agent would refer yo himself as the CIA instead of saying "I'm an officer of the Cia".

it actually means "I'm (part of the) CIA"

I don't know why, but government agencies in America are often presented without a definite article

Tohtori Pavel? Olen keskustiedustelupalvelu.

It sounds funny in my language too.

truly a meme language

In English, at least, there's this literary device called a "Synecdoche."
I would research it if you want to understand how this type of sentence works.

Could CIA have lived if Dr Pavel hadn't refused Banes offer?

CIA is the organization. He is saying he represents that organizing. It could have been FBI, or MI6

>his name isn't CIA

What the hell are you on about?
>>
>>71195672
but his name's CIA too, right?
>>
>>71188499
This. And in the context, he's dealing with mercs/guerrillas so he might not be trying to identify himself

Hes being very informal. Mostly because he doesn't trust the people around him and is trying to give away less information than they're giving him.
Hes hedging his bets and trying to make them feel like he trusts them by being informal with them.
Or, its just bad writing and they forgot to make less stupid, take your pick
>>
>>71191158
This. It's pretty common.

It's even common for police departments, like the LAPD.

TDKR didn't invent this shit, it just got meme'd to death.
