TDKR Bane Costume

[greatballs]

The coat looks like it has been customed from a Swedish M1 909 1940 army coat. Although there are some differences apart from the obvious wrong colour and material. The army coat has the wrong collar and there are no cuffs like on the Bane coat.

Wasn't Tom Hardy a whole lot bigger in "Bronson"? His arm's looked freaking ridiculous in that! Even in "Warrior" he towered over the other guys.

Rumors came out a while back that his boots incorporated 3" lifts (I've seen him called out at 5'9-10"). Also, here's an article/video addressing a potential solution to Hardy's size versus what fans expect to see of Bane: Tom Hardy Will Look Bigger For The Dark Knight Rises | Dark Knight Rises Rumors

To really pull this character off, I think most guys will want to incorporate in-shoe wedge lifts...

There is no doubt Tom Hardy can get in to what ever shape that a certain movie requires.
Especially with the help of a little juice. I am sure that Nolan has specified the size and shape he wants Bane to be and Tom has achieved this. At least anyone thinking about getting the "Bane look" will be inspired that they dont actually have to look like a man mountain. Good New years resolution goal though. I must get in shape.
