The Dark Knight Rises Tom Hardy as Bane VII

[DoomsdayApex]

one kick to the face and that mask is done

And on what theory or evidence do you base this on? You've yet to receive the 411 on Bane's mask...

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Is Bane's (cloth based) Luchador Mask kick resistant?

"Ah, I didn't like Nolan's interpretation of the Joker because he wore make-up."

"Bane's mask is not like the comics' version -- I don't like it."

Let's be a little realistic here guys. Bane having a traditional mask from the comics wouldn't translate well on screen, at all. Nolan's approach not only adds realism but a tactical usage too.

Easy to say when things have already been finalized. I seem to remember a large number of people convinced that Joker would never wear purple, or that Two-Face would not have severe scarring. Both obviously proven wrong.

Incidentally, Bane was at the bottom of everyone's lists as a likely candidate to be a Nolan villain. But here we are. I'd be weary of speaking with absolute certainty. With this franchise alone, fanboys have had their expectations totally shattered on more than a few occasions.

I've learn to roll with whatever comes out visually and just see what they come out with in the final product.

So because Nolan proved fanboys wrong before he gets a free pass on everything?

and people don't like the mask for different reasons. It's not always simply because it was changed from the comics.

Not teh realizm again. Two-Face wasn't realistic at all. Maybe they just designed it this way just because they thought it looks cool. It's just a movie after all.
I like Bane's TDKR mask a lot but never liked TDK's Joker design. It's just a matter of taste.

I guess, by that logic, fanatics were hoping for Batman to wear his underwear on the outside of his Batsuit...

Bane's Luchador Mask is awesome in the comics, but I kind of doubt the GA would take Nolan's version of Bane seriously with that thing on.

Is Bane's (cloth based) Luchador Mask kick resistant?

Plus: Who dares to give Bane a kick to the face?

look at it, its all fragile tubing.

do you think that a kick from batman is so weak it can't bend or break half inch tubing?

and the difference is that he didn't depend on his luchador mask, this is based on some peoples belief this mask is his "venom" system but even if its not the mask looks important. he didn't depend on his cloth mask to breath

 

[BatmanGoesToRio]

look at it, its all fragile tubing.

do you think that a kick from batman is so weak it can't bend or break half inch tubing?

You don't know which material the tubing is supposed to be made of.

 

[Mister H.]

Sure looks like LOS garb in that quick extreme close-up in the teaser.


Just saw the screencap...totally wrong about the LOS garb

 

[DoomsdayApex]

look at it, its all fragile tubing.

do you think that a kick from batman is so weak it can't bend or break half inch tubing?

Once more, provide evidence.

You can't, because you don't know the circumstance or design of the mask. You just assume it's a fragile mask with tubing.

I would think it's incredibly amateurish that an evil do'er would should up in a fight with the Batman with a fragile mask.

"Hold on! I need a second. One of my tubes fell out of place."

 

[camp Blood]

unless its titanium its going down

plus the harder a metal gets on the rockwell scale the more brittle it becomes

i am a amature knife maker and knowledge of metals and there properties is important info in the trade

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Plus: Who dares to give Bane a kick to the face?

The Dark Knight

 

[DoomsdayApex]

unless its titanium its going down

I'm guessing you fell asleep during Science class.

 

[RolandDaggett]

Force field around Bane's head maybe.

I'll make this very short: you completely misinterpreted what I said. Nowhere did I state or imply anything of that sort. Only that fans have a knack for stating the obvious and championing their positions long after things have been established. Their track record for accurately predicting what is to happen in any of these films, based on personal expectations and preference, is dubious at best.

Bane's Luchador Mask is awesome in the comics, but I kind of doubt the GA would take Nolan's version of Bane seriously with that thing on.

I don't even want the Luchador mask, but it could have feasibly been made into an intimidating design. Scarecrow had nothing more than a potato sack, yet it was pulled off just fine. No one should mistake their inabilities to imagine any given scenario as being workable, as proof of impossibility. It's not our job to make it work. That's the artists' concern. We're only along for the show.

LOL, Imagine!

"My mom said not to dent this mask!"

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Furthermore, I haven't Nolan's Batman throw many kicks in the series.

I'd be more worried about catching an elbow or a forearm or a headbutt than a kick from the Bats.

 

[Mister H.]

I'm guessing you fell asleep during Science class.

Who didn't?

 

[camp Blood]

then what would it be made out of whats this super hard metal that still retains its ability to bend and return back to its original shape that his mask is made out of

 

[Mister H.]

I don't like the mask...I think it looks like dump. I understand its constructed of rubber and plastic, but it looks like rubber and plastic. It looks like some kind of Mortal Kombat Halloween mask or something you could buy at WalMart to play paintball in. No offense, I know a lot of people like it, it just ain't working for me. Having said all that, this teaser is incredible. TDKR is going to own.

 

[FlyGuy]

Let's get ready to RUMMMM-BULLLLL!!!

Fair enough

I didn't.

Yes, I'm a nerd t:... the meanest one ever
