Character descriptions for Bane and Catwoman. Feel free to read at your expense.




Bane:

Little is known about Bane. He was born in prison and trained in the darkest forms of deception by the League of Shadows, but rumor has it he was cast out due to his extreme behavior. Bane is a ferocious hand-to-hand fighter who is willing to do anything in order to take down his opponents. Bane is in peak physical shape, but he must wear a breathing apparatus that feeds him with pain relieving gas due to an old injury. He's never been photographed without his mask and only a handful of people have seen his face. While his true motives remain a mystery, he appears to be building an army of followers in the dark tunnels underneath Gotham in order to create his own League of Shadows.

Catwoman:

is a world-class cat burglar and mistress of disguise. She's cunning and devious, but has a deep sense of honor. As Catwoman, she targets Gotham's wealthiest. Her weapons usually include infrared goggles, bladed high-heel boots, and a belt filled with lock picks.

ah Master Chief, once again wrongfully assuming and blowing words far out of proportion

if you took my words as trash talking, that's all well and good, just proof that I was correct regarding your reading comprehension

[MasterChief117]

Another interpretation of Bane, from Vengeance of Bane, again proves my point. The lucha mask and the giant Bane is just an interpretation. This is what Bane looks like, WITHOUT venom.






So, again, as I state, the interpretation of the character does not have to be defined to just one state. That's the point I'm trying to make here. The way the character acts, the demeanor is intimidating. Just because he's not what Bane is listed as (6'8, 350 on Venom) does not mean he can't do damage, or be an intimidating physical opponent. Not to mention, where the HELL can you find a human being that big?

[Tornado]

Yeah, but the Bane in that panel looks like he could give Batman the beating of his life. Tom Hardy doesn't.

[MasterChief117]

I have no idea what the hell this is, but it made me smile.

[Nick1988]

Tom Hardys Bane looks pretty damn intimidating to me, seems to me though this is similar to the whole "Perma-White" debate prior to TDK, Ledgers Joker was so brilliant it made you pretty much not care if it was face paint, it was that damn good. Lets see what happens with Hardys Bane, it might be so good that his size isn't gonna even be a factor or anything you really notice.

We're not saying he needs to be grotesquely huge, like in most of the comics. Believe it or not, we are still taking into account that this is Nolan's universe. The image you just posted is not an outrageous looking muscular man. However, that interpretation of Bane is far more impressive than what Hardy looks like, as if he could actually do some physical damage to Batman. If that's what Hardy looked like, we wouldn't even be having this discussion right now.

Thank you for posting that image, though. It's a good example of what we've been trying to say. Hardy could have bulked up more, and the physique in the image you just posted would have been far more impressive and menacing.

And of course I feel like I have to put a footnote in here every time. None of us are saying that Bane won't turn out good in this movie as a result of his size. It's just an observation. The character of Bane is suppose to look physically imposing to Batman, and as of what we've seen so far of Bane/Hardy, he doesn't. It will be interesting to see the final interpretation of the character in Nolan's universe, and how he manages to pull him off.

Maybe Miranda Tate isn't a villain after all. At least not in the traditional sense.

[Doomsday]

I did the math over the past few weeks and it seems my ideas of Bane were pretty dead on, not that it was terribly difficult given the actors, characters, etc.

[OBSERVER]

I have no major problems with the movies.
I only wish that there would have been another movie in between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight making this a quadrilogy. The Dark Knight was a little too soon to go so big, in my opinion, considering that it just started in the previous chapter.

Hell, maybe Bale could put on a bit of weight and pull it off now after the finale.

Nathan Jones would do a good job, physically, as Bane on venom. Almost 7 ft and 360 lbs all muscle.

should've gotten him

[Neverending]

David Goyer revealed to Empire Magazine that Warner Bros wanted Riddler for Dark Knight Rises. Now we know where all those Riddler rumors came from. It was the studio's #1 choice. But Nolan, for whatever reason, wasn't interested.

[Ayemef]

due to him feeling that Riddler is just Joker2.0

I would've prefered him

but it does seem Nolan has a good story to tell in using Bane (Dark Night Returns + Knightfall/Nightquest)

[MasterChief117]

Not only The Riddler, but Leo DiCaprio as The Riddler.

[DAN!]

Leo as riddler would have been great

[MasterChief117]

The advance tickets went on sale today, they were gone within minutes, so much so that the entire site crashed. Apparently, multiple reports are saying this is a sign of 'things to come'. We'll see.

[Tornado]

When is this new TDKR Mountain Dew supposed to come out? I thought it was this past Friday, I looked for it last night while I was at the grocery store and didn't see it.

[MasterChief117]

June 20th. I'm not sure why they did not just release it with the rest of the crap but oh well. Definitely going to be buying me some Mountain Dew stockpiles.

[Tornado]

Ah... for some reason I had it in my head that it was coming out on 6/8.

[MasterChief117]

Apparently there is a new TDKR trailer on the way? International trailer maybe?

By Sam Ashurst

The Dark Knight Rises UK Facebook page has just posted a cryptic status update that will be exciting for football and film fans alike.

The update was a series of numbers - 11.06.12 17.45 - or, to be more precise, half-time of the Euro 2012 game between England and France.

So, unless the Dark Knight Rises UK Facebook account is really, really excited about watching the latest Petis Filous advert, we predict that there'll be a new trailer running in-between Adrian Chiles blathering on about how low-expectations means that England will definitely, definitely win Euro 2012.

And, considering the build-up, we wouldn't be surprised if the whole ad-break was dedicated to The Dark Knight. Which would make a change from those five-second Rises stings which have started to appear on the commercial channels.

So, tune into England Vs France to see the Fire Rise. And the French dive. Probably.

[Deexan]

I will be watching. And yeah the 5 second ad "stings" are really annoying, just the logo exploding...keep expecting more to come but it doesn't.

[Deexan]

Ok, just saw it. Maybe a minute in length at most. A couple of new shots from what I could gather but nothing major, maybe one new line. Saw the batwing in storage, which I didn't recognise; and Bruce says something like "get me back in the game". Everything else was recycled.

[MovieBuff801]

Soundtrack listing is out, and I'll spoiler tag them in case some people see them as too revealing:

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

1. A Storm Is Coming
2. On Thin Ice
3. Gotham's Reckoning
4. Mind If I Cut In?
5. Underground Army
6. Born In Darkness
7. The Fire Rises
8. Nothing Out There
9. Despair
10. Fear Will Find You
11. Why Do We Fall?
12. Death By Exile
13. Imagine The Fire
14. Necessary Evil
15. Rise

The score is apparently 51:20 in length. I hope track 7 is the music in the opening sequence; that bit was awesome. Can't wait!

[Diablo]

Tickets are on sale.

Already got mine.
