The Dark Knight Rises: Tom Hardy Praises Nolan

The actor playing Bane, sat down with MTV for an exclusive interview while promoting his new movie Warrior. During the interview Hardy fears that fans are spoiling their enjoyment.

His reaction to fan's fascination with all things Bane
"I think it just shows that people are really into it. It's great," Hardy said. "If you love something, why not follow it? There are photos out there; it's nice to see them."


His reaction to Nolan
"Chris Nolan is amazing. How he releases his films, he's a very enigmatic human being. It's genius, what he does, and I just trust him and how he slowly feeds what he's about to do to the world."


His reaction to Anne Hathaway's catsuit.
"I've seen it, obviously. I've seen it up front. I think everything Chris Nolan and every person at Warner Bros. [does] is amazing,"







I just don't agree with Tom Hardy when it comes to spoilers. I don't think my enjoyment has been diminished after seeing pictures of Bane, Catwoman, and the Batwing. This has been one of the best marketing campaigns for any movie and they didn't have to spend a dime to get the press. Think about that. Green Lantern spent over 100 million dollars, when at the end of the day they would've been better off dropping off a few spoiler pics. Not like that would've helped the movie, which is awful, but it would've cut costs and allowed them to make up their budget much faster.

Now can there be too much of a good thing? Of course. I don't want to see a leaked script and I have tried to avoid all major spoilers that are plot related. I like the images because my imagination can create a vast detailed story in my head, that in all honesty won't match Nolan's but it's fun to ponder anyways.


The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th 2012 and stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Garly Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate.

My only problem is that the vest makes him look like he has a gut.

He looks like he walked off the set of some Mad Max movie.

Fighting in the middle of pittsburgh, Blowing up a football stadium in pittsburgh, Blowing up the george washington bridge in new york, the fight scene in the woods, and fight scenes in places we don't know about yet. Looks like Bane will be bringing it. I don't care how he looks. I know this film is gonna be good. At least he looks like a terrorist and not goofy like Cap.....

I somewhat agree with you Marvel72. it seems as if no one can pinpoint bane as of yet. i think nolan has and idea of what the character should act like, just not what he should look like. looks like subzero on roids. guess i will have to wait and see. hopefully this one is a litte faster pace. don't mind stories, but just want to movie to move, like marvels movies do.

It is funny DarthDan... I was going to say that it is a Mortal Kombat ripoff... LOL! I love the Batmans so far but don't like how Bane looks. Oh well I just hope that the movie is a good as the others and that batman doesn't yell when he speaks and sounds out of breath.

whatever. the costume looks crap. nolans obv made some amazing movies, hope he can surprise us all with this one but so far my predictions are very unpleasant and i expect this to be his first major failure (maybe not commercially since everyones gonna go and see it anyway but critically)

yeaahh boobs!
I mean erm yeah i think somehow nolan will pull it off, plus you cant really tell if a film is going to be absolute dog sh*te or amazing from a few pictures, i think we should just wait to see the finished product.
Saying that, i can't wait for this film!

Not liking the look of Bane. In my opinion he should be bigger. I'll give Nolan the benefit of the doubt, but the look of Bane is making me have my doubts.

Bigbywolf - 8/23/2011, 7:25 AM
I have to agree I'm not a fan of bane's look and I thought he would be bigger but Tom Hardy along with Micheal Fassbender is on of my favourite actors. I trust in Nolan that it may not be the Bane we know from the comics but I believe it will work out well. After this it will be rebooted anyway.

Nah!! this movie is gonna look awesome in IMAX.

The film will be awesome. But that takes nothing away from the fact that whoever was hired for the wardrobe department sucks.

How do people keep seeing Hardy as "a beast?" Honestly, he is "big" by any stretch of the imagination.

I don't see a problem with the costumes.

Banes looks more like a freak of nature with the breathing apparatus. I think it's more menacing than just having some guy in a wrestling mask. As for Banes size, the teaser looked as if he will be much taller. I'm not sure if it's due to venom or the set pics are giving a terrible interpretation of what the character will look like on screen.

As for Catwoman Hathaway has already stated that we haven't seen the full suit in action.

Doesn't it bother anyone else that most of everything we've seen has been shot during the day? That's the only thing I haven't cared for much.

I like the comic book version of Bane and all but a wrestling mask and spandex is a pretty dumb costume. This version is just updated for people unaware of the comic book counterpart, which is fine by me.

Anything that has been leaked so far, whether good or bad, has little to do with how good this movie can be as it all has nothing to do with the plot and that is where any movie will sink or swim.
