So obviously go for his weak spot, the canisters on his back, and then defeat Bane......The End.
A few days after showing off cover image shots of Batman and Bane on Empire Magazine, SuperHeroHype have revealed images from within the feature piece itself. In the shots, you get a glimpse of the two characters coming together for battle along with the villain holding up a photo of a certain Dark Knight star.
Director Christopher Nolan, actor Tom Hardy and costume designer Lindy Hemming also sat down with the magazine to discuss the story progression from the installment and Bane's brutality.
Nolan: "It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after 'The Dark Knight.' So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state. With Bane, we're looking to give Batman a challenge he hasn't had before. With our choice of villain and with our choice of story we're testing Batman both physically as well as mentally."
Hardy: "[Bane is] brutal. He's a big dude who's incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result-based and oriented fighting style. It's not about fighting. It's about carnage. The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it's nasty. Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action."
Hemming: [Asked about Bane's mask] "He was injured early in his story. He's suffering from pain and needs gas to survive. He can't survive the pain without the mask. The pipes from the mask go back along his jawline and feed into the thing at his back, where there are two cannisters."
Nolan also confirmed that much like The Dark Knight prologue attached to I Am Legend, this next prologue for The Dark Knight Rises "is basically the first six, seven minutes of the film. It's an introduction to Bane, and a taste of the rest of the film."
So obviously go for his weak spot, the canisters on his back, and then defeat Bane......The End.
Yes it is a pic of Dent. They will probably explain that in the movie. I like the idea that it takes place 8 years later. I have high hopes for this movie, hopefully they won't be smashed.
So he's a terrorist now? Like the joker was I suppose. This means the government are not able to stop terrorists with specaialist teams/ army and the like but Batman can. Wow. Please help cos I was excited for this but it's beginning to wane. Lol @Violator, don't forget to use your remote control batarangs!
The Joker was not a terrorist lol He was just a maniac as always. Why was he a terrorist? Cause he used an RPG ? He was exactly who he is in the comics a insane human being.
Bane looks cool I hope he breaks batman in half.
Looks like Bat's is all tuckered out .... Kinda like the Knightfall comics.
I've got no complaints. Nolan has delivered for me in nearly every movie he has done, so I'm fine with everything. If this story takes place 8 years later and Bats is on a downslide, it might not leave a way for this particular incarnation of the franchise to continue after this. The next filmmaker and actor will probably start with a re-boot, but hopefully not a retelling of the origin.
Terrorism is the systematic use of terror. Ie: Holding people hostage on boats with bombs on doesn't count as being one then?
Insane? I'll agree with that one.
You know who would've made a great Bane? Mickey Rourke. I think he would've been awsome as Bane.
But, what I'm seeing so far of the next Batman movie, I like. Except Catwoman.
He also used a bomb to kill Shelia a worker and Robin in a death in the family comic. So guess that's the same when you use a bomb your a Terrorist......??? NONSENSE!
Sorry The Joker in the movie was not a Terrorist thats just a ridic statement/comparison.
The Joker is highly intelligent psychopath with a warped, sadistic sense of humor. Never ever was classified as a terrorist.
I'm glad to hear some of the details regarding the character of Bane. Sounds pretty cool. I don't know that it will put to rest all the concerns for everyone, but it does for me. Maybe it's because I've never been a comic book person and so I look at these movies strictly as movies and I don't try to analyze them and compare them to the source material like many other people do. Personally, I'm just really looking forward to a fun movie.
Oh Sweet. Taking place 8 years later? Isn't that a picture of Harvey Dent Bane is holding?
