The Dark Knight Rises Bane

[MisterStrange]

I can't read through 29 pages, but do you guys want to see Bane in TDKR? I set up a poll on Batman-News.com, so far most people have voted "no".

There is not another villain I want to see more than Bane on the big screen, adapted straight from Knightfall.

Same here. I voted yes to the poll. I would love to see Nolan's take on Bane!

 

[Darkest-Knight]

I know I do wanna see him in TDKR.

a charming/brutal british bane played by Hardy would be AWESOME.

in my eyes Bane does not have to be latin american nor a steroided out freak to work...

He just needs to be well, the evil version of batman.

He and Hugo strange can have very similar goals in TDNR if used correctly (Bane wants to end batman to take over gotham while strange wants to study and become batman in his nutso mind. hugo can be working for the GCPD with and hires Bane to take down the Bat but doesn't realize Bane has grand ulterior motives of his own)

throw in an ambiguous catwoman who plays both sides but ultimately helps bats in the end, and we could have a roller coaster of a movie.

My only fret with hardy as Bane is his height. I believe he's only 5'9 or so,which wouldn't be a problem until he is face to face with bale which in that case thats what apple boxes are for.

and hardy CAN get big. he doesn't need to be Thor size to do the part justice.
being a nolan move, bane will probably be in a suit for most of the film until he is fighting batman, which then he dons the "bane mask" and in my mind a "sleeveless" Batman type costume.(being a nolan film, i dont think bane will be in a luchador type or wife beater outfit but a swat type suit made for battling the bat)

just my thoughts

New paparazzi shots of Tom Hardy -- he shaved his head and is growing a beard.... is this worthy of a post on Batman-News.com for discussion sake, or am I looking way too much into it?

Spoiler

 

[Figs]

Very interesting...

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

Hmm, maybe.

It's definitely more likely than "OMGZ Bale has teh long hair and beard - VENOM STORY!"

Shaved head with beard is definitely a less common combination. Could be a good sign.

 

[batsfan81]

Its kinda early on for him doing this isn't it? Filming doesn't begin till spring correct? That being said it definitely is interesting.

Nicet:
I love the thought of him not being a twacked out mindless henchmen, and him actually having his own motives. But to double cross the infamous Professor Strange? Hmmmmmm lol

I'm currently writing my character thoughts and ideas on how Bane could work in Nolan's Bat-verse. My thoughts on him somewhat mirror yours.

 

[Laderlappen]

If he would have shaved his head for the role there would be no reason to do it now because its like 4 months the filming starts.

 

[MisterStrange]

May, I believe. But by now, I would think that it is safe to assume that Hardy in fact knows who he will be playing in TDKR. And if that is indeed the case then he would be prepping for his role starting around this time. And by the looks of it in the pics above, he has only just recently started growing the beard. All speculation of course.

However, this does narrow my list down to four characters that Hardy might be cast as:

Hugo Strange
Sgt. Max Cort?
Bane?
Black Mask
And uhhhmmmm....that's about all.

EDIT: Come to think about it, yeah, maybe no relation to TDKR at all. Who knows?

 

[RustyCage]

The comment was at the 'Anyone with a brain' comment. He's saying if you turn down a Nolan Batman movie, you're an idiot. You cant get more fanboy than that.

Not necessarily. He could have simply been saying that Nolan's movies - especially his Batman movies - have been wildly successful and he's become established as a classy, amazing director. People want to be involved with anything he's doing. If not for the brilliant ideas he consistently has, then for the guaranteed fame and success.

The word 'fanboy' really has nothing to do with that.

i would add Deadshopt to that list. he would KILL the role of deadshot (as long as they redesign that silly costume)

but i think it would be a waste of his talents/rising star to have him NOT play the heavy (bad guy)

 

[Bat-Mite]

To be honest because I think some of the people (not saying necessarily here) pretend to read the comics but don't. I think many are just thinking of the B&R dumb lug and saying...No.

This begs the question as to why there aren't very many people who dislike Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze for the same reason. If anything, Freeze should be one of the most hated villains in Batman's rogue's gallery if so many people make judgments based on that movie, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

They're just more well known in general. For various reasons. The Animated Series featured them far more often/prominently, etc.

Exactly what Rusty said. Those characters had a little more known love previously. However honestly when I talk to non-comic readers they hate Poison Ivy, and Freeze the same. But in honesty out of those three they screwed up Bane the worst if that is possible.

Honestly I think most hold all of them in poor regard until a mainstream movie shows their comic book counter parts were way different.

I voted yes; I don't approve of the concept of him being for hire by the police or by Talia however. Bane to me isn't exactly a pawn; he's a big enough character to be taken far more seriously and be behind everything as the main villain just like Ra's Al Ghul and the Joker.

He's wearing a hat. You can't say for certain that he shaved his head from these pics.

Interesting......... either that or he has a little bit of hair inside his hat on the top of his head; which in that perspective, could mean...

[Majik1387]

It doesn't mean either.

When the hell did SHH get all private detective on hair?

 

[The Joker]

I swear, between the Spidey forums and here, I'm sick of reading about hair

Fair point. But then again...

Bullock actually has been depicted with the sides and back of his head shaved (although inconsistently).

Batman inspires.

Going to X-ray the picture to see if he has a lab coat under his clothes.
