The Dark Knight Rises Tom Hardy as Bane

[craigdbfan]

I think at some point we'll see Bane in a suit that much is for sure. Ra's, Joker, Two Face, Scarecrow.

All Nolan Bat villains must wear suits.

 

[antsman41]

Well from the good words of Barney Stinson, suits make a man...

 

[Rodrigo90]

What I would like Bane to be is almost like the Terminator,and Nemesis in Resident Evil 3.

Cause the intimidating thing about them was that they were essentially monsters. Their only goal was to kill a certain person,and not let anything stand in their way. They were terrifying because they were these unknown relentless things,that would chase you down until they caught you.

Of course he should have a lot more depth,but not too much.

I think if Bane was like them in some way,it would really leave a striking fear in the audience.

They score extra with vests; with the exception of Joker, Scarecrow had a sweater vest and so did Bruce I believe at one point. Why do you think Falcone, Ra's, Zsas, and Harvey didn't return? No vests doesn't score returns in more Nolan movies.

Nolan practically invented suit!porn. True story.

Fantastic post.

So uh, Hardy's looking pretty big in Warrior.

So uh, Hardy's looking pretty big in Warrior.

And he's supposed to get a bit bigger than that, right?

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

wow...hes definitely ripped...i believe he said hes gonna gain 20 more pounds?

 

[BatmanBeyond]

Yeah, I think that's what he said during that interview a while ago, that he'd have to get back up to 14 stone.

"I WILL BREAK YOU!!!"

Damn...I cant wait for this movie!

Im scarred of him even before he turned into Ben. On Oliver Twist he was scarey as hell as Bill Sykes. And anyone who can intimidate you as much as Oliver Reed,gets my vote.

 

[Miranda Fox]

Please keep posting shirtless pics of Tom Hardy.

But seriously, he did say on Alan Carr that he'd need to be around the same size he was in Warrior, so that is a pretty good indicator of what he'll look like.

Oh goodness. I truly believe he's going to be the best thing about TDKR.

 

[Dr. Jackstraw]

I was looking up these "Elevator boots" online and some give you a 4 inch boost. If Hardy is 5'10 (as the ever so reliable IMDB claims), these boots could make him approximately 6'2. Then camera angles can add an extra 2-3 inches, plus whatever trickery means.

The only question is if these height-increasing boots would make it more difficult for Hardy to be balanced and coordinated in fight scenes. A lot of these boots make it easy to hide the increase they give you, but they might make maneuverability an issue. Guess he could go for 3-inch boots.

In the end, it won't not even matter if the character rocks.

 

[EliteF50]

That's an excellent idea. They should make Tom wear something like this:

They'd give him a 5.2" boost and they still look good. I'd be very happy with a 6' 3.2" Bane.

A bird in the hatchet......... t:

 

[Boom]

Hardy's neck in Warrior looks absolutely terrifying. You could break a tree trunk over that thing.

 

[Blue Sugar]

God Hardy is so sexy. And he is a brilliant actor. And Bane is a great character. AND I'm a Nolanerd and believe it will all come together perfectly.

Seeing those pictures from Warrior of a bulked up Hardy gives me sweet dreams of Ben!

I may be mistaken, but I thought he said he'd be getting bigger than he was in Warrior.

He was bigger in Bronson, and he was closer to 14 stone in that film.

No you're right Boom, he did say that.

 

[craigdbfan]

Well honestly he just needs to work his delts, chest and bicep and triceps and he should be set.

Thats probably where he wants to add some muscle/weight too.

 

[EliteF50]

His chest is fine, he just needs to worry about the biceps.
