Yes, the media that you have seen Bane in so far do not give him any sort of credit. He's one of Batman's most dangerous enemies because of how freaking intelligent he is. Bane was the first to break the Bat, which is what he's famous for. He even figured out who Batman was just by watching the way Bruce Wayne walks.
So yeah, I'm glad Nolan is going for more of the intelligent side of Bane.
And that trailer was awesome.
