Other than Chris Hemsworth's Thor, this is easily one of the most jacked up comic book characters yet. Tom Hardy has put on all the muscle you could ask for, and oh damn, he's going to beat the crap out of Batman isn't he? Yes, Batman is going to be pummeled to a bloody pulp during this movie, and it will take all of his willpower to win this war. The Joker may have tested the limits of your moral code, but Bane is going to test the limits of your spinal cord.
Some fans are complaining a bit about how this Bane isn't as monstrously enormous as his comic book incarnation sometimes is, which I strongly disagree with. Make Bane a CGI or special effects monster and he no longer becomes human. We'll have officially crossed into the super powered realm, and Bane will become something less relatable. Now it's still possible that Bane's drug of choice, Venom, will still be included, and the structure of his mask suggests it might
While Tom Hardy certainly looks the part, and I'm certain has charisma for a great villain, what's going on with that mask? Maybe a clearer view would give me a better idea of what I was looking at, but it's a little iffy at the moment. At first I could have sworn that was a skeletal hand connected to it, but upon close inspection they do look more like metal tubes. The whole thing looks a little funky, like a cross between Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid and Jason Voorhees.
But hey, let's be honest. There's no way this movie could possibly be bad. Even if it doesn't reach the same heights as The Dark Knight, Nolan has yet to do a movie that hasn't been awesome. Inception? Awesome. Batman Begins? Awesome. Memento? Awesome. I don't see any reason to doubt the man.
