Most fans of Christopher Nolan's Batman universe were hoping that in the third film the Caped Crusader would finally have a physical challenge, and with Tom Hardy's Bane, he did. One of the many highlights of The Dark Knight Rises was the much anticipated showdown between the two. And even though Batman (Christian Bale) puts up an honorable effort, it is Bane who comes out on top. Most of us could've guessed that Bane would break Batman's back, like he did in the comics, but it still was a jarring site to actually see. Relive the epic sewer fight with these amazing behind-the-scenes photos.
The Dark Knight Rises will be released on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download on December 4th. The film stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John "Robin" Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate/Talia al Ghul.
