The Dark Knight Rises Bane

[Doctor Jones]

He's not a luchador.

I'm not the most knowledgeable person on Bane, but wasn't he in BTAS and in some of the comics?

 

[Xtroid]

Um, will Bane be running on Faygo instead of Venom?^

Actually orange juice. It's good for him.

 

[Hound55]

Vitamin C, baby! Build that immune system to break the bat!

 

[nameless_hero]

Anyone else see the irony here... Bane and venom, manip of Bane with Venom...

*eyes the Spider-Man av*

Quiet, you...

 

[Weadazoid]

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.

No tubes... injections.


Make him an anti Captain America. Give him a brief backstory that involves black ops stuff. Nolan can make this really work.

Not in the story, but as far as his appearance went? Yeah.

 

[Nathan]

I always hated that look. I'm glad his nose and mouth aren't sticking out anymore.

 

[Violet Lantern]

Yeah, to me that makes it look more like a Luchador mask.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Not in the story, but as far as his appearance went? Yeah.

Yeah, do not want.

I love this! Hardy would look silly if he were just wearing a tank top or wrestler type suit. He's just not big enough and considering the movie's going to be filmed very soon, he's probably not getting back up to Bronson size either. So covering him in armor is good idea. This is a great concept.

 

[Octoberist]

I've often why When Bane was created, he didn't have a better outfit. But I figured that the creators want to see his body and how massive he was.

 

[JAK®]

I think we should see Bane's arms. That, along with his mask, is a staple of all his comic designs.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Meh I think it would be silly to give him the exposed arm look through the entire film especially if he is going to be in heavy combat with Bats. I like the idea of him wearing some type of body armor and maybe during their final showdown Bane has to remove some of his body armor for some reason thus giving us the classic Bane appearance for his final screentime.

 

[Nathan]

A guy known for breaking people's backs with his bare hands, throwing heavy objects and punching down walls, shouldn't be too heavily armored. We should definitely see some muscles.

The Joker fought Batman wearing a purple suit in The Dark Knight and somehow managed to not get taken out in 3 seconds.

A character such as Bane in body armour with his arms exposed isn't going to destroy the immersion.

Yeah but so is Joker having white skin.

Remember Bale's Batman is fully armored. Can we really buy a normal sized Tom Hardy in a vest kicking Batman's ass to hell and back?

Unless he can get to Broson size very quickly. Right now he is not big enough to be showing off skin when fighting Bale's very armored and stealthy Batman.

Yes but Nolan likes keep a sense of realism. All I know is I am damn curious...maybe even more than when Heath Ledger was announced for The Joker...to get our first glimpse of Tom Hardy as Bane.

I never said Bane should just be wearing a vest. He could be wearing all the high-tech gear he wants if that satisfies all the realists. I just think we should see his arms.

As for Hardy getting bigger I bet he can reach Brosnan size and beyond in a short time.

 

[JAK®]

Yes but Nolan likes keep a sense of realism.

Tell me.

Did you really type that as if you thought that there were people left in the world that didn't know that?

You mean The Joker was able to attack Batman after Batman was exhausted from taking down an entire SWAT team, saving hostages, taking out henchman, (All those 3 in restricted time period) while and after being attacked by dogs, and while having technical difficulties with his eyesight equipment? How is that not realistic and probable?

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Is this guy going to, like, put on about 100 pounds of muscle for the role, and wear elevated shoes or something?

Because he looks about as much like Bane as my Grandfather does, lol...

Prove me wrong Tom, 'cause right now i'm not feeling it.

Sounds familiar to me. The Knightfall storyline was entirely about Bane orchestrating situations for Batman to get involved in, wearing him down until he overpowers him in a final battle. And Bane is a highly trained, incredibly strong individual. If Joker can do the same, then surely Bane could do even better, arms exposed or not?

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Hey don't be a dick dude. Just saying. I had the same reaction when I watched Iron Man 2 and Mickey Rourke's character went up against Iron Man practically half naked. Seemed silly and ridiculous to me.

???

I am talking about the entire film and Bane's entire time on screen. You actually sort of just agreed with what I said. Bane somehow ending up with his exposed arm look in the final battle seems more plausible.
