When it was announced that Bane was going to be one of the villains in Christopher Nolan's upcoming Batman threequel many were surprised, not to mention curious. How would this super strong powerhouse be translated to Nolan's "real world" version of Batman? Would he keep the mask? Would he have his Venom addiction and become more powerful as he ingests it? Well, now we have seen a pic of the character..
And we know at least that some type of mask will be present. But what else can we determine from this pic? The mask doesn't appear to be there for show, or as some form of muzzle. But rather as some type of functional apparatus. Breathing perhaps? Or is Nolan actually going the whole Venom route after all? Also, look at Bane himself. It's too hard to tell for sure with the lighting(clearly the idea!) but looks to be completely bald, and maybe eyebrowless too. There also looks to be some type of scarring along his spine, and possibly on his head too. Could these be burns? It would certainly give credence to the earlier rumor of Bane being first seen rising from flames. The Fire Rises? What about his size. Did Hardy bulk up sufficiently for such a massive and powerful character?
Anyway, it's all speculation, and from this picture it's to hard to tell too much for certain. But judging on what we have seen so far, what do you reckon?
