I'm pretty sure Bane ain't the main villian but just playing his role as a hired hitman maybe by Talia al Ghul. Just a thought.

I don't know how you can be pretty sure when you're just talking out of your ass.

Bane was always his own man in the comics. Hell he had lackeys of his own.
Just cuz he was nothing more than hired muscle in the toons and that horrible movie Batman and Robin does not make it so in reality. But who knows. I have faith in Nolan as a director to make a decent movie with Bane in it.

I hope that they portray Bane as the tactical mastermind he is, instead of some lumbering sod. The only character I felt was treated worse in that Godawful Batman & Robin film was Jason Woodrue

That is a big concern, but alleviating this concern is the truth that Goyer and Nolan had this whole breadth of Batman villains to pick from, all this general audience expectation of "this classic Batman villain!" or "that classic Batman villain!"... and they still arrived at Bane. That tells me they didn't just pull Bane's name out of the hat -- they respect who he is in the source material and hope to bring that to the screen.

That's what I tell myself, anyway.

But no, f*** no, Bane is no henchman. The only time he's played second fiddle to anyone was during "Legacy," and that was to Ra's al f***in' Ghul... and that was with Talia promised to him as wife AND the plan to assassinate Ra's and take his place after the wedding.

Chuck Dixon created Bane to be the physical and mental equal and counterpoint to Batman. The Anti-Batman -- able to match Batman in any battle of wits or battle of brawn. Simple as that. Bring that to the screen, I'm happy.

Isn't Tom Hardy kind of short for Bane? I mean he's 5,9 Bale is 6 foot it would be kind of weird having Batman be taller than Bane.

deadpoolRKO · 01-22-2011, 07:04 AM

Do you guys think they'll show Bane/Catwomans origin , or just kind of start out with them as already established villians like they did joker?

They wouldn't make sense without an origin. The Joker wouldn't make sense WITH an origin.

Definitely Bane, I feel like he's going to be a big character in this. But Catwoman could probably go without a ton of explaining.

Like Liev Schreiber in X-Men Origins?

*Xav* · 01-22-2011, 11:18 AM

But Jackman and Schreiber where about the same height, Tom Hardy is noticeably shorter than Bale.

Still, Creed is 6' 6" and Logan/Howlett is 5' 3".

*Xav* · 01-22-2011, 11:40 AM

Yes Jackman was to tall for Logan and Schreiber to short for creed. What does that have to do with the fact that I think they should have picked someone bigger for Bane?

PAAATE · 01-22-2011, 11:57 AM

Well, it is a movie; if they want someone to look taller than someone else i.e. if they think it's relevant to their interpretation of the character, they'll make it so.

*ToTheNines* · 01-22-2011, 12:51 PM

As much as I like Bane in the comics, he's un-realistically big. That works for comics/cartoons, but ain't gonna happen here.

Hardy's a good actor and I've seen him kick plenty of ass in Bronson, and he was a one-man-army in the third dream layer in Inception. Plus Nolan has done an excellent job re-imagining these Batman characters so far. Have faith.

Leogeddon · 01-22-2011, 02:47 PM

I have absolute faith in this movie, I personally (and strongly) believe that they will make it the best movie of the three (if possible) because it's been announced years ago that it was shortened to a trilogy. He did great opening Batman up and reviving his name after the tattering he took from the last series, this time I know as a fact that he would make us proud with Bane, we saw how he made a fantastic sequel to the first (which I find better personally), so why stop there? He's going to make the third and he isn't going to take lightly to this one especially after proving his ability to keep it up.

Now I'm waiting on him releasing Superman because after what he did with Batman, we're well over due for an epic Superman movie.

Yeah, but it's called acting. And standing on top of crates, camera angles, that sort of stuff.

And size-wise, I don't think anyone's worried that Tom Hardy can bulk himself up appropriately come shooting time. And no, I don't think there will be any CGI additional bulking up when/if he's Venomed during the movie.

I'm sure both will either be shown or touched on verbally in some manner.

I was giving a similar, recent example.

Catwoman is a catburgler how much explaining does she really need?
