The Dark Knight Rises Bane

[EliteF50]

I know they wouldn't do this type of poster again, but I wanted to see what it could look like with a mob-style Bane in this type of world. Sorry about the B&R Bane mask, it's the best one I could find. That's not saying a lot.

Dwayne Johnson's body, eh? :P

Imo, they should have just hired Dwayne.

 

[Bat-Mite]

There's no way I'd be able to take The Rock seriously in a movie like this. He'd stick out like a sore thumb. Also, Bane doesn't need yet another reason to be compared to a wrestler.

Something about that Bane mask always reminded me of a puppy's face.

 

[Saint]

Yep.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I just don't think they'll use the mask, personally. It looks way too gimmicky.

It's a comic book movie. Not Heat (which had masks btw).

Now that you've said that, I can't get it out of my head. Reminds me of a pug.

 

[StorminNorman]

I wonder what made Nolan go with Bane over any other Batman rogue that is a Bane-like character (like Deathstroke). I am betting the Bane's comic history with the League of Assassins/Shadows, much more than something like the venom, is the key.

 

[Doctor Who]

*Edit. Whoops, wrong thread. LOL Carry on.

 

[Bathead]

I see already folks making all kinds of suggestions to change the charatcer to the point of being unrecognizable. Careful we don't end up with a B.I.N.O.

Spidermans bad guys tend to wear yellow and green a lot simply because spiderman wears Red and Blue. Bad guys in those colors may confuse the reader where they are in combat or in the shadows.

Bane needs venom. Its what makes him not just Batman but in a different costume during their encounters. Bane is that guy who thinks that he needs to edge to counter Batman's all natural body. Bane becomes to serious depend on the stuff that it can be used against him. In the comics he learns to get off the crap and be better for it. I don't think they need Bane to go hulk but something that boosts his skills can easily be demonstrated.

No he doesn't, you people don't get that a characters depiction on screen shouldn't matter so much about look as much as it should be about the writing.

In the comics, yeah sure Bane without the Venom might be lame, but in a film? no way, If Bane is written great , ans with Nolan one would have to assume he will, than Venom or no Venom, it doesn't really matter.

In this world of Batman in Nolans films, Bane doesn't need Venom, maybe in another Directors take that is a different approach.


You guys constantly complain about how charactes aren't faith fuld the comics, yet to fail realize time after time that its the writing in the character that matters most

 

[Wolfwood]

My only problem with Bane's mask is that...I never really liked it. I'm not gonna complain if they use it, cause that's his get up, but whether it was in the comics, cartoon or live action I always thought it looked silly.

Which is a shame to me!,I personally love Bane how he is in all of his stuff in the comics,Plus it would irritate me IF they did change him up drastically in the movie than in the comics cause then there would be many threads&posts for a long time saying ***** like.....

"that is not Bane that we love&know from the comics"/"why have Bane in the movie if there just going to mess him up worse than B&R,just make a new person up"/Nolan betrayed us all!!!!!!!".....While meanwhile we have people with there ideas to eliminate stuff that makes him Bane!

Tell that to the folks in the Spidey re-boot movie boards talking about the new Spider-Man suit!

 

[Violet Lantern]

Well Nolan did say "our NEW interpretation of one of Batman's most formidable enemies". Something to keep in mind.

That could go in three ways!.....

1-Nolan was talking about after Bane was in B&R.
2-Will indeed be completely different than in the comics.
3-Will still be recognizable from the comics,But will also have new&big changes.

 

[ChrisB]

Every single one of Nolan's villains have been a new interpretation though, don't you think?

 

[The Watchman]

 

[CrypticOne]

Bane will still be Bane, guys. Its not like Nolan is going to just change the character completely. He will still have some kind of connection to the Bane in the comics. Period.

Maybe he won't have a mask. Maybe he won't have the venom. But I feel, as they used that Scarecrow gas in the first film, venom wouldn't be that far-fetched. I see the venom being used in this movie. The mask though....its either going to be changed completely, or not used at all.

 

[Robin91939]

Kinda diggin it...I mean, I don't hate it.

Not really.


Ra's was a terrorist/cult leader with messianic delusions that included wiping out humanity to save the planet.

Scarecrow was a psychiatrist who used fear gas.

The Joker was a homicidal sociopath with no real motives other than to cause chaos and be the "anti-Batman", he used a clown motif and displayed the same dark sense of humor and knack for intricate plots of death & destruction we know from the comics.

Twoface was a DA who had been driven into madness as a result of his war against crime with Batman and Gordon, unable to decide anything on his own, totally beholden to "fate" as the ultimate arbiter of justice.


EDIT: oh, and Jett says "hi".

 

[TX85]

Every single one of Nolan's villains have been a new interpretation though, don't you think?

I'd say it's been half accurate and half new changes(which I like most of them)!

 

[Violet Lantern]

I'd love for the fight with the Mutant Leader from The Dark Knight Returns to be adapted into the fight with Bane, for Rises.

Imagine Bale's Batman telling Hardy's Bane, "Okay boy...show me!".

 

[Saint]

This is actually pretty much the first thing that came to mind when I thought of a look for Bane in these movies. I'd tone it done a little (less bulk, lose the tubes), but yeah--I think putting him in some combat gear works for the character.

 

[Majik1387]

The only change I would make to the tubes would be to make them fitted to the body, so that they're not easily unplugged by anyone in his way.

 

[D.P.]

Anti-Batman indeed.
