The Dark Knight Rises Bane

[regwec]

Nah, Black Mask is better than both of them

Nah, he isn't.

 

[Boom]

He really isn't.

Maybe it is mentoined before but after watching Batman: Under the Red Hood, i'm very open to the idea that Tom Hardy can play the Red Hood. I don't want Robin in the movie but working with some flashbacks that maybe will work and it will bring a very personal turn on Batman. A Batman with guilty feelings towards the death of one of his Robins and a link to the Joker who killed Jason and left him in a abonded wharehouse and Ra's al Ghul drops him in the Lazarus Pit and is reborn. It also makes a perfect link to the first 2 Batman movies.

Feeling the rage of Jason towards Bruce on the big screen would make great scenes!

Id love to see Hardy as Bane.

Presented as the self made "perfect specimen" just like Bruce,but without the advantages of wealth and power,instead growing up in the most harsh prison imaginable - with a fear of Bats just like Bruce that he must overcome by destroying THE BATMAN.

(maybe the Venom Steroid is his "edge" that ultimately becomes his undoing?)

As far as his look goes,I say drop the mask and just have him in black combat gear ala RAMBO

Sans headband and weapons.

 

[Majik1387]

That's even worse though. You basically just want Tom Hardy in a wife beater and army pants as Bane.

UUUmmmmmmm

Why does he have to have a hi-tech outfit? If hes an ex-con whose a self made badass why not just have him in Black military style gear???

 

[Majik1387]

You don't even want him having his signature mask though.

You basically just want a merc on steroids

Why does the mask change his character completely??

Every single villain in the Nolan Batman films looks different from their comic counterpart,some more so than others.

Was the Joker a boring villain in TDK because he didnt have bleached skin?

Well, he still wore make-up, so he still had his iconic look adapted. Removing Bane's mask and not making up for it with anything else is removing his iconic look.

 

[Wolverine1988]

Some of you guys are ridicolous, If Bane doesn't have his mask it really isn't going to hurt the character that much , nor him not having venom.

What is Bane? He is a really strong villain that beat the Bat.

They put make up on the Joker . and it turned out to make sense and be great.Scarecrow barley wore the mask in Batman Begins, and his mask is more important to his character than Bane mask is to him

If you include Bane . and have him in a wife beater and army pantss or something similar to that be fine, it's not about the look all the time more about how the character is written.

Banes look iconic? Hardly, maybe for you and fans on this website but i would hardly call his look "Iconic".

Scarecrow still had his burlap sack mask, and his fear gas; Ra's other than being white still had the same facial hair and hairstyle atop his head, the monotone voice of pretentiousness; Joker still had his trademark white face, red smile, dark eyes, purple suit; Two-Face still had a scarred face in a business suit with one side clearly different from the other.

Yes, it will. And I freaking hate Bane.

Mainly because of the venom.

They put make up on the Joker . and it turned out to make sense and be great.

Burton did it too.

Scarecrow barley wore the mask in Batman Begins, and his mask is more important to his character than Bane mask is to him

It's just as important to each of them.
As for Scarecrow "barely" wearing a mask in the movie, that's due to his little screentime in the movie; If he was only Scarecrow you'd hear complaints about there being barely/no Jonathan Crane.

If you include Bane .

Movie gods forbid

and have him in a wife beater and army pantss or something similar to that be fine, it's not about the look all the time more about how the character is written.

That's unimaginative, boring and simplistic reasoning.

Is his face the first thing that pops into your head when you think Bane?

 

[TheLongestDay]

That's unimaginative, boring and simplistic reasoning.

What? Story,characterisation and motive are unimaginative, boring and simplistic reasons for adapting a characters look for the big screen???

As opposed to a character wearing a wrestling mask?

I hope you never direct a movie

Check the bold underline. Characterization is more than just his back story and motive(s) as they do affect his look.

As opposed to a character wearing a wrestling mask?

Again, do you ven know what Bane's face looks like?
And I noticed you dropped the venom from your point so I won't go there.

You'd be lucky to have me direct a movie.

 

[TheLongestDay]

Ummm yes,but where in Banes backstory and my "proposed" characterisation of him for the third Batman movie suggest it would be fitting for him to don a luchador mask?

Again, do you ven know what Bane's face looks like?
And I noticed you dropped the venom from your point so I won't go there.

When did I drop the venom? I suggested it might be a good story point to give Bane the physical edge.

And yes,I do know what Banes face looks like as I am a fan of the character in his earlier days - in Vengeance of Bane he hardly wears his mask.

[Majik1387]

Considering most his fighting technique is Lucha libre driven, it's not out of left field for him to be wearing a luchador mask.

Sorry, mistook what Wolverine1988 said as you. My mistake.

And yes,I do know what Banes face looks like as I am a fan of the character in his earlier days - in Vengeance of Bane he hardly wears his mask.

Possibly have a pic of it at all as google only shows the covers of Vengeance of Bane, all of them wearing the mask. I wonder why that is.....

Don't be mad.

 

[TheLongestDay]

Maybe in the comics,but if he grew up in a prison honing his fighting techniques during brawls and riots where would the mexican wrestling come from?

Because comic fans like masks and costumes?

Oh BTW:

Here he is with long hair in the VOB sequel

Also see my manip.

You mean the make believe Spanish island in the Caribbean? I'm pretty sure a Spanish heavy area would know of mexican wrestling.

Exactly.

Saw the manip; Honestly didn't care for it. Not that it was poorly made or anything like that, it just looks like Hardy in a wife-beater, which is barely a manip to me.

 

[Laderlappen]

Never mind the mask, what about the muscles?! Are we forgetting that Bane is huge as a mountain?

 

[Majik1387]

I'll say the muscles would be subjective. If he were cast as Bane, I would just want him significantly larger than Bale.

 

[TheLongestDay]

Who says he has to be Spanish? Liam Neeson isnt arabic.

Exactly.

BUT we are talking about a movie....

But bane wears a wife beater/vest

 

[Majik1387]

So you want a character that's not akin to the character in backstory or looks..............why bother using the character's name instead of creating a new one?

BUT we are talking about a movie....

A comic book movie, which is what some seem to forget these are around this sub-forum. And I swear to god if you try to bring up "realism"

But bane wears a wife beater/vest

You got rid of a mustache, added hair to his head and messed with the saturation of the pic. Honestly makes me think of Guile before Bane.
