Every hero has a journey. Every journey has an end. Christopher Nolan returns to complete the epic Gotham trilogy that launched with Batman Begins and reached the stratosphere with the billion-dollar blockbuster The Dark Knight. Batman is now hunted by the law led by his friend Commisioner Gordon for taking the blame of Harvey Dent's murders and protecting his reputation. He must quickly deal with the arrival of new villain Bane who is bent on the destruction and chaos of Gotham City, face old wounds and get a handle on the enigmatic Selina Kyle before his city is lost for good.


Hoping for Catwoman? Well, I'm afraid it looks as if Warner Bros. are still keeping her under wraps for the time being, but they have seen fit to allow Empire Magazine to release yet another official image of Bane on their subscribers only cover. The site has not yet unveiled this officially, but here is a photo uploaded to Twitter by @dotstarss.

Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman

Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox
Tom Hardy as Bane

Right lighting and angle makes him look a lot bigger. I'm thinking Nolan had the brains to film him with that in mind.

HE LOOKS BIGGER THERE. I'M TRYING TO NOT THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT WE KNOW AND KEEPING AN OPEN MIND ABOUT IT BECAUSE NOLAN'S APPROACH IS NOT HOW ANY OTHER DIRECTOR WOULD APPROACH TAKING ON BATMAN. HECK WE TAKE ONE LOOK AT THIS NEW BANE AND AUTOMATICALLY QUESTION WHY THIS AND THAT, SOME DON'T CARE, COMIC FANS WILL ATTACK THE LOOK BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE OR WHAT..JUST LIKE THE JOKER HE'S GIVING US SOMETHING NEW. I'M READY TO SIT IN A THEATER, EVEN IF THE MOVIE GOES FOR THREE HOURS, I'M READY TO SEE WHAT HE'S DOING WITH THIS...

That's Bane...yes. Quite honestly now this movie looks way better, after those boring set pictures. Keep things like these coming and it'll shape up even better for me. :)

That image is awesome! If you look closely, it looks like Bane's mask is a giant mouth with big teeth.
NeoBaggins
NeoBaggins - 11/21/2011, 4:19 AM
Undeniable. I was wondering if he would be cut. The other mag pics and this one says... YES. And he looks menacing.

Can't [frick]ing wait til the footage hits.
