They are coming in louder & clearer than Hardly's "Bane" voice.....

You know, even though it's the deadest of dead horses, I can't really see how this:



Is somehow more "realistic" than this:



I mean, one is a freaky looking mask, and the other is Hardly's "Bane" abomination....

"Bane"'s girlfriend revealed!!

Spoiler:

Yeah, that last one will work.

Ditto and ditto. If they took an approach where they just didn't want Bane to wear a mask, that would make some sense. But developing the mask they did... seriously, what purpose is served there?

That's a cool pic of the regular Bane mask though. Goes to show how easily that can be managed if someone's committed to making it work.

I believe the mask suppose to serve as a tool for him to survive due to a previous severe injury and there's a indication that he may die if it were to be removed! Also, the mask suppose to provide some form of gas for him to inhale (Which might explain the tubes) that supposedly serve as a pain killer but may also be the film's possible answer to venom in which the gas may also be use to inhance his strength and possibly increase his mass (You never know) instead of using a tube attach from his wrist controller to the back of his head.

You misunderstand me. What purpose is served in changing it? I realize there's some retarded textual explanation for the existence of the mask that (A) is completely foreign to the character up to this point because we all know comics characters MUST be modified before they can be "properly" adapted and (B) I'm sure Nolan will drill said retarded explanation into us without Novocaine (whoa whoa, will something bad happen if the train reaches the Wayne Enterprises building? I'm not sure yet, Nolan, you better tell me another five or six times to make sure I get it).

My question is why it was ever changed to begin? What's being served in running with that particular mask design rather than one that doesn't look like a Mortal Kombat reject?

having tubes hooked up to a mask like rey mysterio wears wouldnt have been that hard to believe i think.

Hey, even Ray Mysterio is probably bigger than the hulking 190-lb. Bane!

If i recall right no he isnt he is around 170-185lbs range, but hardy does trump rey by a few inchs.

Not too shabby, eh?

Stupid.

Even more stupid.

Oh, I know. Ain't happenin', chuckles.

instead of using a tube attach from his wrist controller to the back of his head.

Which, as we know, visually doesn't work AT ALL.

Right?

Hot Toys Announces Bane Collectible Figure

Late Friday, Hot Toys announced on the company's Facebook that they are making a 1/6th scale Bane collectible figure for The Dark Knight Rises. They posted the following:

The Legend Ends. The terrorist leader Bane will arrive in Gotham City, pushing it and the police force to their limits, forcing Batman to resurface after taking the fall for The Joker's crimes. The Dark Knight Rises movie will be coming this Summer and this Bane Collectible Figure will be announced in coming months before movie launches! Batman fans, please stay tuned!

1/6 scale is pretty accurate for Hardly Bane.

EPIC..........FAIL!!!!!

When you're right, you're right.

Om nom nom nom nom

Want to know what would scare me more than Hardly's midget "Bane"?

Spoiler:

Lol good one ap

Here's a pic from the set of 'This Means War', Hardly's new flick:



Reese Witherspoon is 5'2, in what looks to be 3 inch heels.

'Nuff said.

LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL!!!!!

But remember, Nolan has somehow now brought credibility to the character of Bane, as was brought up in that 'new 52' thread. Personally I can't wait for THE AVENGERS to steamroll the competition even in advance so that by the time TDKR gets here, that all it can hope for is the leftovers. 'NUFF SAID!

You guys really need to check this one out and tell me that this promo art of Bane dosen't tell you anything!

Its a nice photo, and good pose for bane. He is trying to be menancing. Only thing still blows he isn't as bulk as he should be. I still would have had hardy as hugo strange then this mini bane deal.

M-I-S-L-E-A-D-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!

It tells me that "Baney-Me" has Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
