The Dark Knight Rises Tom Hardy as Bane IX

[superkong 500]

Yes it does his face looks different from bales fuller if you will, his eyes too. Both have doubles.

whait a second. do i see a big scar down Bane's neck?

wait 'til he tells you how he got them

 

[DoomsdayApex]

i bet it will be a lot more than 30%. Look at who these actors are and who the director is. It will be Bale vs. Hardy a majority of the time.

Doubt it. Bane and Batman won't be meeting up to have tea and crumpets, and to talk of world politics.

Now I know what Banes Mask reminds me of.
A dog gag or muzzle... don't what the english word for it is.

I mean those things:

I'm almost certain that this was the idea behind the design.

I mean, it would make sense, depicting Bane as a somewhat savage dog, but in the meantime charismatic and intelligent.
On the other hand, we sort of already had the dog metaphor with the Joker...

 

[HighFivingMF]

Rottweilers are awesome.

 

[PWN3R]

That dog is on venom.

 

[RedSkull]

The dog collars remind me of Bane's animated look in The New Batman Adventures

 

[HighFivingMF]

Bane = Rottweiler.

My Rottweiler is named Harley Quinn.

Therefore, Bane = Joker.

Bane's %$#@'ing huge, yo?

 

[Stelze]

Give him some pants and many people one here would surely be happy with it.

 

[Doctor Who]

To be honest, I'm really surprised how much Nolan might be following Vengeance of Bane so far; I mean, yes, he uses many books as an influence, but the more I speculate and look at these set photos, the more I really think he's using some of the story and influence from that book.

Well, there we have it. Batman IS taller than Bane in TDKR.

 

[Gold Samurai]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like a definite stunt double for Bale.

he's going to be in the scene sometime. Don't know when.

No matter how much muscles Hardy puts on, he cant make himself taller.

They still might do stuff in-camera that we're not seeing. For example, the stuff where they're actually fighting/grappling may be done as medium-to-closeup, then perspectives/angles may help with Hardy's actual size on wider shots. But yeah, in those candid pics, he looks shorter than Batman.

Maybe he will b shorter than Batman, who knows?

lol, it doesn't change the fact that Batman is taller than Bane

Lifts (height increasing shoes): Can bump up you up a good 5 inches, and you still look proportioned.

 

[PWN3R]

So the issue of Bane's height is the new perma white? Oh look, that even rhymes.

Of course! Christian Bale 6'3, and Tom Hardy is 5'9. I'm saying though that THERE WILL BE camera trickery and they will make Bane look bigger than Batman. I can guarantee it.

If they somehow don't, he still looks awesome and I know he'll beat the living crap out of Batman at one point.

Bale's in this one....

*edit; damn lag.

But I'm afraid so, yes; I'm just trying to correct this problem so we don't have another Perma-White discussion. That went on for a long time and it didn't make any difference; people who we're against it eventually came around and liked Heath's Joker because he carried the performance incredibly. No doubt Hardy will do the same thing, but in any case I know that they'll make him look bigger; they already have in TDKR trailer.

I feel like....... I feel like I'm going to kill a lot of members here, swear to god. LOL
