The picture I found earlier:



So I came across this image on tumblr earlier (I know...reliable) and its currently blowing my mind. It appears to be some sort of makeup test for a severely beaten Christian Bale, which leads me to believe this is the future handywork of Bane. Those of you familiar with the comics will recall the Knightfall storyline in which Bane breaks the Batmans back. Till now theres only been theories as to exactly what Banes role will be in the new film.


NOW...having said that, I know Bale's been filming "The 13 Women of Nanjing" recently, so it is possible this is a photo from THAT production, but he plays a priest in that film, and I'm not sure why that character would have his ass handed to him as badly as this photo suggests.


Production photo from "The 13 Women of Nanjing"


So what do you guys think? Early makeup test for the next Christopher Nolan bat-film? From 13 Woman? Just someone very handy with photoshop?

Yeah, filming doesn't start for TDKR for at least a week or so.
But I can see this being true, since Bane will be giving him some sort of beating.
And yeah, that's some good makeup.

If Bruce Wayne was out of commission for a few weeks after a run in with Bane...I think his facial hair might start to grow.

Although the same can be said for his character in The 13 Women of Nanjing. Thats why this is purely speculative.

Oh you didn't know? This is all from filming for the sequel to Empire Of The Sun. He becomes separated from his parents during the Vietnam War. John Malcovich is set to return.

Judging the background of Christian Bale's beat up photo, it's highly likely from The 13 Women of Nanjing".

a.) The curtain b.) The fields.

That movie location is in a remote country side of Nanjing.

This is garbage. Does Bale have a weird droopy nose like that? Looks more like someone messing around with PhotoShop. The red drool from his nose and lip look drawn on and the one good eye looked patched onto this face. The hair and beard and not Bruce Wayne.

Dunno if this is legit. Production on the third movie begins in May and the last recent photo of Bale had him appearing like a hippie.
