The Dark Knight Rises Bane

[antsman41]

Here's a thought, what if Bane kills Scarecrow? Since he had a cameo in TDK, I'm expecting him to show up one more time just for the hell of it. The movie could open up with Scarecrow trying to do another deal, similar to TDK's opening, then Bane shows up and it's curtains for Crane.

Since the Scarecrow is a fairly big character in the series, I think killing him off would be great to show off that Bane is a whole new monster and the threat of death comes with him.

No, only the Joker could get away with killing Scarecrow. Like how he beats the **** out of him with a chair in Knightfall...

Bane should kill Zsasz like how he killed FilmFreak in Knightfall.

For consistency's sake, I'd say it's better if it were the Scarecrow. You'd think, "Oh, this guy again." Then bam, he's ****ing dead.

 

[Nave 'Torment']

It's too bad we won't see Bane pick up the Bat-signal and throw it at Batman.

I'm expecting it to pop up somehow - maybe Selina uses it again, but that would be too much like that award-worthy scene from Batman Forever

Batman: We all wear masks
Chase: My life's an open book (strips), you read?
Batman: I don't blend in at a family picnic.
Chase: We could give it a try, I'll bring the wine, you bring your scarred psyche.
Batman: (ogles her) direct, aren't you?
Chase: You like strong women. I've done my homework. Or do I need skin-tight vinyl and a whip?
...Batman: (few moments later) It's the car isn't it? Chicks love the car.

IMO, Batman getting broken (assuming this happens) should be shocking enough. I'd rather not see any more villains die. It's bad enough that we've had a major villain die in each film so far.

Maybe he could break a couple bones instead and send him to a hospital for a several months. I haven't read many comics with Bane, but I would assume killing a nerdy dude with a bag on his head is a little below him.

He killed FilmFreak for no other reason than that FF was stalking him and reporting to the Mad Hatter.

Well, that was a lame characters. That's ok.

Joker and Scarecrow are locked away in Arkham.

 

[Nathan]

Come on, it's Arkham. When did that place ever keep anyone locked up.

It would really cheapen Arkham to have yet another jailbreak in a Batman film.

 

[Brother Jack]

Joker and Scarecrow are locked away in Arkham.

Bane could probably still get to Scarecrow in some way. He might even be able to break him out of Arkham. If Crane is used in a limited, Hannibal Lecter-type informant role to Gordon it would make sense for Bane to go through the trouble of getting him and then killing him.

Joker and Scarecrow are locked away in Arkham.

And Zsasz and Falcone.

 

[Marx]

And Zsasz and Falcone.

I thought Zsasz was shown escaping? I forgot about Falcone.

As much as I love Crane and Cillian Murphy's portrayal, I don't think he should be used again.

He got out in Begins, but if Batman managed to catch Scarecrow I don't think catching Zsasz and the other inmates would be that hard even for the police once the fear gas dissipated.

That's true.

 

[Saint]

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.

Let's forget for a moment that you're completely mistaken (as Red Hood pointed out, Bane's story wasn't a retcon; it came before his appearance in Knightfall); the real curiosity here is that you're arguing improving a character after that character's creation doesn't mean the character is "any better." I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it means.

Really, what an absurd thing to say.

 

[antsman41]

Bat caught Zsasz somewhat when he saved that kid/Rachael. I always assumed the cops came up upon a knocked out Zsasz sometime thereafter...

Just thinking about the options for Bane's "villain" costume, I fail to see why he needs an elaborate tactical bodysuit encompassing various armoured elements; or why his traditional mask is unachievable.

The images above are or Hamas, IRA and ETA paramilitaries. They exist in the real world. Their masks are designed to conceal their identities, to impress, and to intimidate. That's exactly what Bane would have in mind. Given that, I think it would be in Nolan's character to make a very short jump-off from these existing concepts to Bane's design.

I think simplicity is called for; give him combat trousers, a turtleneck sweater, and a black and white ski mask. Done.

 

[Marx]

I still say let Bane have Colemon Reese!

 

[terry78]

If Coleman Reese isn't dead in 60 minutes, I kick the **** out of a kitten.

 

[antsman41]

Hey, Reese knows he was wrong. Bruce saved his ass...

But, maybe Bane should feel that only he himself is worthy of knowing such info and tries to kill anyone that does know; Reese, Fox, Pennyworth...

I couldn't agree more, and suspect this is the route Nolan and company will go. Make those "combat trousers" camouflage, and we're basically on the same page. Maybe the white on the mask should form a type of symbol. A large white star could work, or maybe a design that subtley suggests a wolf??

 

[Violet Lantern]

I want Bane to break Mr.Reese.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Now I hope he survives... Goddamn kittens.
