The Dark Knight Rises Tom Hardy as Bane XXI

[GrimmReaper7]

Makes the most sense to me

That's my guess as well. I think it would be cool if Bane took batman's mask and revealed it to the horrified fans at the stadium

 

[StarLord]

In that shot he's. wearing the black jacket so i dont think it happens after the beat down because I think he beats him down, puts on the wool jacket, climbs up to the field and blows it up which will be Gotham's introduction to Bane.

Or perhaps Wayne is unconscious and wakes up later where Bane is sitting over him?

Bosef did mention something similar during the stadium scene.

Even though I'm skeptical of that piece of leaked intel (simply because it's too much to memorize word-for-word and movement-to-movement), it coincides with some of what Bosef revealed.

I will try to find it, but I think Bosef commented on that particular post saying it was just speculation of his.

Yup. It was just speculation on his part IIRC.

The description of Bane having a longing in his voice, and also the stomping on batty's face... it really sounds like they're bringing the prisoner aspect into it. I've done a few short stints in the joint, and that's exactly what somebody would say or do in a prison fight.

Excellent. It sounded... too cheesyyy.

Yet, I wouldn't mind Bane taking a piece of Batman to showboat to Gotham that The Dark Knight has been defeated.

 

[Banes_Dealer]

Tom Hardy is Bane alright... He's the BANE OF MY HETEROSEXUALITY.

[The_Raganork]

The dialogue in that description is just so heavy with BB references...

from someone at Nolan Fans:

Don't know if this is true or not, but it is related to the scene in the prologue/teaser with Batman's broken mask when Bane and Batman fight underground in the sewer area.

"My friend was fortunate enough to get to work with the sound crew for The Dark Knight Rises in this past month or so during their first haul of post production work , due to his skill in the field and acquaintance with one of the crew members. He said it was very early in the production for this kind of work, but WB wants to stay ahead of schedule. He got to see one very important scene from the film. The information I’m about to post is from him word for word. I asked him if I could share it, and he said I could as long as I do not mention his name.
The scene I saw is the fight scene between Bane and Batman that Warner Bros has been promoting for the last couple of months. The scene takes place in the sewers underneath the city’s football stadium. It begins with Batman entering the sewer and taking out Bane’s men one by one. This is very similar to the dock scene from Batman Begins. Batman employs a lot of stealth here.
Bane’s men catch on and point their guns at Batman, forcing him out. Bane himself steps out of the shadows.
Bane: Ah, we are so thankful that you accepted our invitation.
Batman: What do you want?
Bane lifts his hand to reveal a detonator. He presses it and there is an explosion behind him. Batman looks concerned as if to expect something else to happen, but nothing does. Bane laughs(His laugh is freaky, man. He doesn’t laugh like someone who knows how to laugh, but rather someone who’s mimicking laughter. As if he’s never had a time to laugh in his life. Combined with the mechanical sound created by his mask, it’s absolutely chilling).
Bane: A mere example of what is to come. Just above us are 30,000 people who have been lied to their entire lives. They have been manipulated by a system of corruption and greed, forced to live in a city of decadence. The very air they breathe is polluted by the lies of the city. Lies that you have created. They are slaves, yet they do not even realize it. We are here to liberate them. Starting today, the people of Gotham will finally have their eyes opened.
Batman: You can’t change Gotham this way.
Bane: Come now, you of all people must understand the importance of dramatic example. This is the way it must be, there is no other way. Gotham will be set free.
Batman: Gotham won’t bend to the will of a terrorist.
Bane: They will bend to me. However, I haven’t answered your question Batman. You asked me what I wanted. Truthfully there is only one thing I want. I want to break you.
After saying this Bane charges Batman and a fight ensues. For the first half the fight it’s pretty even, then near the middle Batman begins to gain the momentum, but ultimately loses it, and Bane just brutally demolishes Batman with every blow after that. It’s done in a way that it seems Bane was toying with Batman for most of the fight, letting him think he had a fighting chance, but by the end it’s apparent Batman never stood a chance. He gets Batman to the ground and rips his mask off. He looks at the piece of Batman’s mask in his hand.
Bane: For so long you have dedicated your life to a dying cause. Change is coming, and it begins today.
In one of the most brutal shots of the entire series, Bane then stomps on Batman’s face with is boot, knocking Batman out.
Bane: Take him
Two of Bane’s men grab Batman and start dragging him away. Bane walks away and drops Batman’s mask.
That is all I saw.
Some notes:
-He only has about three lines, but from what I heard Batman’s voice is perfect. It is not the unintelligible growl we heard in The Dark Knight. There is a slight growl to it, but it’s more like his voice from Begins, but not even that. It’s very similar to the whisper we heard in the teaser, but a lot more aggressive and stern. It’s hard to explain, but it should not be getting any criticism this time around. Well, it probably will, but I think it’s an improvement from The Dark Knight.
-Tom Hardy as Bane is absolutely brilliant and terrifying. My description does not do his performance any justice what’s so ever. It’s completely subtle and nuanced, particularly his delivery of the “break you” line. I’ve seen a lot of fan films with Bane where he screams the line like a barbaric buffoon. Hardy’s delivery of the line is the exact opposite. It’s very quiet, but completely sinister. The way his eyes widen when he says, it’s scary. There’s a sort of longing in his voice, as if this is something he’s been waiting for, for a very long time. The way he charges Batman is terrifying as well. It’s edited in a way that it takes you by surprise, believe it or not. It causes a very physical reaction in you. You don’t expect him to charge. It’s that feeling you get when you’re on a roller coaster and you get to the very top, right before you drop. That’s what it feels like when he charges, and he charges like some kind of strategic gorilla, he shows no sign of stopping or slowing. It’s wonderful.
-The full scene is a lot longer then I described. It’s a good 10 minutes long. Bane has one line during the actual fight “Is this all you can offer? I expected better from Gotham’s champion”. Batman has no dialogue in the fight. The key here is the environment. So much of the sewer environment is used in the fight. Whether it’s Bane pushing Batman against the railings, plowing through the water fall, or even Batman throwing a batarang to take out one of the supporters of a rusty beam. Through out the entire fight Bane’s men have their guns pointed at Batman, but they don’t intervene. They just watch.
Warner Bros is keeping so much of this filmed closed up it’s amazing. None of the promotional material has even scratched the surface and none of what I‘ve written is doing it any justice. I only saw one scene, but this whole movie is big, I can’t even imagine what the climatic fight will be like"

Great. They didn't say anything about the most important part: how is the scene choreographed and shot?

Yeah it seems a very layered sequence.



Here you go.

Sorry, I've seen the prologue and the trailers. This just doesn't sound like the Bane I saw. I don't think that Bane would laugh- at all. Laughing seems totally out of character for Bane- at least in the movie, and I would say in the comic as well.

In the comic, Bane has said that "I was damned to my role. I was condemned before my first cries of life. The world is my prison. I will rule it or die."

Strange as it may sound, I find Bane to be a very sympathetic character. I can't say that I would be any different from him had I been born in and grew up inside a 3rd world prison.

Bane in many ways is a complete reversal of the Joker. Bane does not get joy or entertainment from being a criminal. And he does what he does for a clear reason and with a clear goal. He wants to rule Gotham (at least he does in the comic- in the film he wants to destroy it, probably for the same reasons Ras Al Ghul wanted to in Batman Begins).

For you.

I disagree. If Bane felt like laughing in Nolan's universe, he would. I think Tom's delivery in the prologue wasn't without some dark humor. About 3 lines of his were sardonically funny. He is a monster but I don't think he's entirely mechanical.
