Pictures of Bane from TDKR

I did a quick search and couldn't come up with anything regarding this,
so i will post the picture's.

What is that supposed to be exactly over his nose and mouth??

Bane in the comics had a particular serum (venom, I think it was called) to which I recall him being addicted, and which gave him particular additional strength. Rather than give him a bunch of glass or plastic tubes and hoses sticking out of him and an unexpressive luchalibre mask, the Nolanverse probably gives him most of his face free, and covers up the mouth. I'm guessing it's a gas instead of a serum.

Hmm, yea I hope it will be a aerosol venom, but what im concerned about is what is that scar going down his spine, perhaps some sort of surgery?

I prefer the comic style wrestling maniac look.

Hopefully they will get the character right. Nolan hasn't let me down yet (for the most part anyway).

Perhaps a gimp related injury.

Cannot unsee

"Goatse"

Never heard of that term before so I googled it.


Thanks a lot!

ROFLMAO!!!!

I'm really just not digging this movie yet. Bane looks like such a chump. I'm sorry, but this guy supposedly figured out who Batman was?

I hear there is something out there about a couple girls and a cup.

Looks can be deceiving!
Granted, I still can't see Bale as Batman. Maybe Bruce Wayne, but not the bat. Mostly due to the cowl. Who thought that making the mask have a rounded edge for the mouth was a good idea...does not really know basic design...

*design rant*

Must have missed a rumor from the movie, because Bane doesn't know who Batman is in the comics.

It's been years since I read the Knightfall storyline, but I thought Bane figured out Batman's identity (he broke Batman's back in the Batcave, afterall.) He kept it to himself out of a strange sense of honor with a worthy adversary.

I did some digging on Bane and he's supposed to be some sort of super genius. Bane released the inhabitants of Arkham Asylum all at once to have Batman tire himself recapturing them all. Bane observed it all and somehow figured out who Batman really was, then when Batman was all worn out Bane ambushed him at the manor and broke his back, paralyzing him. Thank god paralysis is easily reversed.

Ya, the super genius part is almost always something the cartoon/movies missed for Bane. He is supposed to be almost as smart as Batman and obviously a lost stronger. Even Arkham Asylum/Arkham City just have him as a hulk clone.

I never read the tpb of Knightfall, but did read both the "teen" and "adult" edition of the stories. I think the teen version had Bruce fall on a sharp rock to heal his spine from paralysis

Hmm, for some reason I was blanking on the breaking his back in the cave bit. My mistake.

I just hope he blows us away with his performance, because that will be the only thing that can distract from how doofy that face mask looks.

You'll never forget your first goatse.

Yup, Bane's supposed to be a genius.

And though I think the mask looks a little goofy, it's about 1,000,000 % less stupid than the Strongbad mask he wears in the comics. And the rest of his costume looks great. If they'd stuck him in that wrestling singlet, the suckage would have been legendary.

I do hope they use camera tricks to make him look bigger though. He needs to be taller and bulkier than Batman. With luck, we'll see a lot of perspective tricks to pull that off.

The more pics I see the more ludicrous it looks. I don't know if even brilliant writing can overcome that silly looking mask. Maybe if you only saw it in shadows.
But they are out in the daytime, hell even seeing Bats out in the daytime is not right.
Maybe all this will be in the dark with movie magic though.
