New Look at Bane in Promo Art for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

First

Still looks like cr@p.

Bane looks great there. Pumped to see more of him in action.

An angry tiny bane. Good job nolan! We love it when u take fantastical characters and make them realistic... Stick with normal villains like riddler. U make good movies but we wana see comic books brought to life!

^ Jduke25...lol nicely done.

Bane looks beast...Can't wait for this movie. CBM of the year.

Bane looks like a bawse!!!

Those of you saying that "Bane looks beast" and huge, etc... are not looking at the actual pictures! You're looking at the STICKERS. Those are DRAWN! Bane is NOT going to be THAT huge... you're dreaming! Nolan has taken a character from the Batman Universe and has, not only taken 'liberties'... he's completely changed him! Just because he hasn't made Bane a bumbling, pro-wrestler as he was in the infamously horrible BATMAN & ROBIN, doesn't mean that he's stuck any closer to the source material of the comics. Tom Hardy is a fine actor, and he's in pretty good shape... but is he at all even close to Bane? Absolutely not. Thus, the stupid lamb's wool drifter he's sporting most of the time.
@Monstalova has it pegged... Nolan makes great movies, but we want to see our comics come to life! Of course, I'll pay and go see this, but I'm saddened that we'll have to wait forever to see this done right... and the truth is... we probably never will.
Nolan, go make your crime dramas and leave super heroes to those that love them. Bring on the Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man (two movies that are at least sticking to the source material).

I don't care much about how big/small Bane is, honestly. Sure, it would've been cool to see him as big as he was in Knightfall, but I'm just thrilled that the character will be a villainous mastermind akin to the comic version. The way that he deserves to be portrayed (even with a subpar mask).

You know if anybody other than nolan had portrayed 'bane' this way then people would be creaming for his head. But nolan gets away with anything. Anything nolan squats and sh!ts out his worshippers will claim is brilliant and lick it up off the floor like it was a gourmet meal.

PSUDO-BANE looks like UTTER CRAP!

He has taken an iconic comicbook character and turned him into a watered down 'I don't know what'.

And the nolanites cheer him on.

@Coldblood6 If someone else was portraying Bane as much of a mastermind as he is in the comics (though looking entirely different from the comic version), I'd say the same thing.

Lol Trudy, you are quite the comedian

...
why does it matter what bane looks like? As long as he is a physical threat with a strategic mind that can go toe to toe and even beat Batman, I'm fine. It's a movie adaptation from a director that has taken liberties with the character all the way up through the series. IMO he's done a good job.

If you like how bane is portrayed in the comics, then read the comics. I love comics, and there are things that comics do better than movies do, and there are things movies do better than comics. Appreciate both.

@ellispart3 Thank you.

Lotta Hata's up in this biatch

;)

I still don't understand why people can't be a Marvel and DC fanboy instead of having to pick one of the other. While I do think the Avengers is going to be amazing I don't see it as being Oscar worthy at all.
