Hardy's Bane is so far my favorite version of the character in terms of look and voice, etc. But ive always loved Bane from the comics. A lot of great stories from the 90s. His intelligence is amazing. But you can also say that Ras (or Raysh) Al Ghul is more fascinating of a character than Nolan's. This all means nothing to me when im watching a film. I concentrate on what im getting in the movie and I don't compare too much. This version of Bane was amazing and one of the best villains these genre of movies have to offer. It closed off the last movie with a bang. He was still intelligent and powerful as hell. I also adore Neeson's version of Ras who was an amalgamation of Ras Al Ghul and Henri Ducard.
I loved his look although I'm not a big fan of the sweater in the finale but the voice needed some work though they had the right idea. I didn't want the Bane from the comics but merely a representation of the grave physical and intellectual threat suited to this universe which I feel wasn't done as well as it could have been. I'm not bringing any other character into my argument for they are useless in portraying my point and my focus is on the movie I'm getting alone indeed. He wasn't impressive and engaging enough for the movie being presented which is the same way I feel about the story and direction of most of the film.
For the story that was told, I don't see how Hardy's Bane could have been better. I cant think of any ways to show that he was more intelligent or whatever you're nitpicking. I guess you wanted the entire plan to be his and not Talia's? Well it was both of their plans. He still had an incredible journey. Showing him break out of the prison or reading in his cell wasn't necessary for this version. He was smart and physical, he was like a warlord. He was trained by the League, just like Bruce in Begins..but people don't complain about that do they?
Then I guess there's nothing I can say to sway your mind
t: Again I wasn't asking for the Bane of the comics but a more original and worthy characterization of an equal or superior threat to the batman. Bane was excommunicated and then he went on his own path and gathered up followers. Sure it would have been cool to see him climbing mountains, recruiting his men, but this probably happened anyway. You just have to use your imagination.
Not even I expected anything like that
t:Heck there was a certain level of emotion at the end of the movie that I don't remember him having in the comics. There were no damn teddy bears or romantic puppy love stuff going on. It was a love for a child in a protector kind of role. Like a guardian. The only innocence left in his life. He was nobodys *****.
LOL! Can't even imagine Osito in this universe but the whole protector scenario was overshadowed by the child making the jump (which I thought was ridiculous and stretching too far) and Bane not achieving this great feet. In order for us to see him as this equal or superior force and villain to wreak havoc on levels unknown, that story was too soft for his nature.
Yeah, he wasn't so obsessed to the point where he comes to Gotham to challenge Batman, nooo, but he it's cool that Nolan liked to change things up to fit his universe.
Again.....
t: That's just plain wrong for this universe but I at least would have preferred he chose to go to Gotham for another reason other than a reason that was not even his own in the first place. I'm sure they could have thought of some way to get his focus on Gotham with a more original story line which didn't rely on Begins and still bring the story to a more epic satisfying end other than cliche revenge.
