The third image, the second drawing concept art looks very alien like with an almost predatory sense to it.

No, I HATE this mask. I HATE this movie too. Why can't a director get batman right, sob, why, why, sob, bring on the reboot. And if i HATE that reboot, reboot that reboot, sob. And if the reboot's reboot disappoints me, reboot that reboot's reboot sob.

Lmao.

That's how i read most comments nowadays :P

All these masks make me feel like I'm looking at Mortal Kombat artwork.

Preston... that is a terrible video.

Full mask wouldn't have allowed a more personable villain. Seeing a large portion of his face is better. If they wanted to do the hulk version of Bane, instead of the intellectual version found in the comic series, then a full mask would have been better. Just my opinion.

The mask was fine, and worked for Nolan's version of the Batman world. I do wish Bane was a bit taller so he looked more imposing to Batman, but it was fine the way it turned out.

Honestly, I don't think it's that big of a deal if his face is covered or not. He can still be this very intelligent villain, who's very menacing and a great fighter and be a personable villain with his face covered also,(Darth Vader, that dude was scary a f***). You can have flashback scenes of him in his early years training, before putting on the mask to show people what he looks like, how he grew up, and so on.

@AmericanPsycho

A troll is somebody who says something to get people angry without stating an opinion. Having an opposing viewpoint doesn’t make a person a troll; get a clue, and stop acting like an intolerant facist.

some_text

The site doesn't need a troll plunge if what you are stating is people that don't agree with your viewpoint. If you want like-minded people, why don't you skip on over to NolanFans.

If you are allowed to adore something, people are allowed to hate it. It's what allows for a free society.

I know this is all in one ear and out the other, but you need to understand that people are entitled to different views.

And, yeah, [frick] the nostalgia critic, me, and everybody with an IQ over 75.

Bane's design was O.K. but Bane couldve been done better in voice, fighting skills and especially his story and death.
The Talia crap did nothing for the film but give a very unshocking twist and shouldve been dropped in a rewrite. Bane was despised by Ra's but decides to sacrifice himself to fulfill Ra's destiny? Thats a bit much when you consider that they couldve destroyed Gotham and escaped, so why decide to die?
Hardy's Bane voice kinda sounds like voicework for animation. I think he tried a bit too hard to hit it out of the park.

I like the whiter face with the dark eyes, but they probably went against it because it would be "too scary" like the Joker concept art.

I LIKED THAT IT CAME ACROSS LIKE A DOG MUZZEL FOR LIKE A RABID DOG, BUT OULD HAVE PREFERRED A FULL FACE COVERING, MUCH LIKE DARTH VADER HAD THAT MYSTERY, IT MADE HIM SEEM MORE DARKER, MORE POWERFUL..

@MrFreeze89 --- You are wrong.

troll (play /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion



In other words, saying "S#it movie" and bailing on the thread is trolling. If you attach an opinion behind the comment, it is no longer trolling.

If you have the right to adore, I have the right to do the opposite.


I really value your opinion since you seem to value everyone else’s!

But... but Vader was disfigured, that's why he wore a mask. AND he has a badass [frick]ing voice.

Why would Bane have a full face mask on throughout the movie, there's no way mr emote-yourself Nolan would film with an expressionless character. Even Spider-man, Captain America took their masks off more time than a bitch goes topless in miami.

I love this shit:


but that wrestler's mask shit works if you change Bane's origins and disfigure his entire face, so the audience doesn't wonder why he is wearing a full face wrestler mask for no reason, he sure as hell ain't hiding his identity.
