The Dark Knight Rises Bane

[Slushy]

gotcha covered.

Sean Bean FTW!

 

[The Joker]

Gotcha covered.

(Peter Weller, Kevin McNally, Sean Bean)

Awesome suggestions, man. Seriously wow, did you just come up with them on the spot?

The critique of the tubes was definitely valid. also for those who don't know this was by Tony Moore for the new Venom series, I just, very crudely I may add, turned it into what I expect Nolan to do with Bane.

i really hope he ends up looking something like this in the movie

When I first heard news about Bane, I grimaced. Bane? Seriously? You're going to end the series with him of all characters?

But then I thought about it: In Batman Begins, Bruce first started out as Batman. He made his share of mistakes, but in the end, became a positive force in Gotham, though still not fully in the "Batman" mental state yet.

In The Dark Knight, that's when everything fell apart. Batman lost everything and realized that being Batman is only opening the doors to freaks like The Joker. In a way, he himself was to blame for some of the deaths. Batman underestimated The Joker, causing him to lose Rachel, and just barely subdue him enough for the cops to arrest him in the end. By the end of the film, he was a wanted man, who had lost everything, with the fate of Gothnam in jeopardy now that a true hero who operates within the law, (Dent) is gone.

Now we have a Batman who's struggling. and a city that is rotting. He doesn't have that drive to be Batman anymore. He's doubting himself. He's tormented by the grief of losing Rachel. He's doubting his whole mission, but he's still somehow trying carrying on as Batman, then Bane comes and he's straw that breaks the camel's (or in this case, Bats) back.

Heavily injured, Batman goes to asia and does a whole lot of soul-searching, and remembers why he became Batman in the first place. He remembers his parents, who did so much good for Gotham, Rachel believing in him and his mission, and after some more training and physical therapy returns to Gotham to face Bane once more, evade the Gotham Police force and become the "true" Batman we all know from the cartoons and comics.

Bane is actually a perfect choice when you think about it. I know i've said a lot of crap about Hathaway, but i'm still going to see this, this will be epic.

That would be pretty sweet if it went down like that and would definetley make alot of sense if it went down like that

If that was what Nolan went with, he might as well have called him Deathstroke. Because seriously, add some copper to that suit, and he looks like nothing more than a Slade re-design.

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

Gotcha covered.

(Peter Weller, Kevin McNally, Sean Bean)

Bravo, sir.

 

[MaceB]

I guess where that becomes problematic for me is the second act, going to Asia and rehabilitating. I don't want a second act without Batman... I don't want a Rocky training montage. Without seeing it yet, it sounds so cliche.

 

[Gianakin_]

Come to think of it, Weller did play a Zombie-type character in Dexter Season 5.

Yeah! The visual likenesses just screamed at me as soon as I saw your post.

Fantastic casting... except for Sean Bean. Not because he's a bad choice, but because I'm tired of seeing such a wonderful actor play the bad guy or the punk (not in the literal sense), and for such a small part.

Oh, of course. I'd rather all of them have much bigger, more respectable roles. Just thought they were good lookalikes.

I adore Sean Bean in Equilibrium.

 

[The Red Hood]

That's not really fair. Bane was created, Just like Doomsday, to be nothing more than a brute force to break the superhero. It was only after that that comic book writers went back and added any sort of depth to the characters, and hell, even Doomsday nowadays has more going on for him than just "the thing that can kill Superman." Just because someone has retconned a story onto a character like Bane doesn't mean he's any better a character now.

In case someone hasn't already pointed this out, you're wrong.

There was no retcon with Bane. "Vengeance of Bane" introduced a character who trained his body AND his mind to the peak of human perfection.

This story preceded "Knightfall" and established that Bane was more than just a strong guy.

Most fans who were in diapers when these stories were released or who are too lazy to do some research will arrive to such ridiculous conclusions as yours.

Oh, no, your choices were 100% spot on!

 

[Mr. Earle]

Just popping in to say that Sean Bean is awesome. I would watch a film where he and Liam Neeson play every role.

Sleuth. With those 2 acting against each other. Someone who lives close to them and wants to be a director should make it happen. Now.

Brilliant.

Spoiler

I'm torn on this. On one hand, the look of this version is really cool. On the other hand, it isn't really 'Bane'.

Sorrry if this has been posted, I looked around and couldnt find if it had or not.

Oh my...

Ok, we know Bane will be slightly changed to fit the Nolan Universe. Though we do not know to what degree. What we do know, is that Bane won't be a hulking monster, seeing as Hardy was cast for the role. His strength might even be toned down a bit.

IMO, this should be the minimum level of badassery displayed by Bane.

Meh, i want more characters with those two playing them. Imagine Bean playing a woman.

Since I lived to witness RDJ's Holmes pretend to be a woman, I'm sure I'll be able to imagine Bean as wellt:

One of my favorite moments of any film, truly.

Which film?

Which film?

Sherlock 2, coming up. There was a set visit and RDJ was in a woman's disguise.

There you go.
