Romão 2,274 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well, in the hands of any other director, I might be worried they are using Bane. But with Nolan and a great actor like Tom Hardy playing the part, I can't help but be excited. And Hathaway seems to be great casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might seem like a good idea at first, but there's not much you can say about him. Hope I'm wrong though. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Seriously, have any of you even read any of the Bane comics or are you just going on the basis of the Schumacher shitfest?Bane is a freaking mad genius who manipulated things behind the scenes to unhinge Batman, found out his identity and then fucked him up in the Batcave, breaking his back, before later teaming up with Ra's to unleash a plague on Gotham. He's essentially the anti-Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think with this third film Nolan should reboot the series and remake Batman Begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well, in the comics he seems to view Batman as a great challenge, like Kasparov vs Deep Blue. There's also a weird childhood dream deal going on.But I think he's a great character for the film, and for the position the Batman character is in. He's currently the villain, on the run, a supposed murderer. Suddenly Bane comes onto the scene and the whole dynamic changes. The Joker wasn't in it for money or power or even ego, he was just a force of nature. But put someone who is willing to go to town on Gotham in a mirror of what Batman's done, only for the force of bad, and that not only puts Bruce in a dilemma about his action, but can really solidify what he is to Gotham, and vice versa. Maybe the "rises" of the title?I have a sneaky suspicion Ra's will turn up, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,990 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Bane is certainly interesting in the comic book, but I kind of doubt he could be that interesting in the film. That's why I was so happy about Hugo Strange rumour. But still the same kind of storyline could be done with Bane, so we'll see.One more thing: I wonder whether the venom subplot will be used as well... It was introduced in the comic book in a very unexpected way.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,990 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yeah and we're finally going to have a proper MV score!...oh wait...Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwing 0 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'm assuming Catwoman will have a descending string motive that plays every time she appears, sometimes backed by propulsive electronically altered basses and cellos, and Bane will have a one note theme, similar to the brass hits in Inception, sometimes backed by propulsive electronically altered basses and cellos. As much as the film excites me (though the title and villains have been disappointing announcements), the score I have no doubt will be like the other two: musical wallpaper with some good moments. For a filmmaker of his quality, Nolan just doesn't seem to understand how to get the most out of his composers, nor does he seem to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I didn't really care for the villains in Batman Begins. Dark Knight was better in that regard. Scarecrow and Liam Neeson were more boring than algebra, or even Count Dooku. Their characters also go absolutely nowhere of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,037 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The villains definitely got better in TDK. (I'd actually argue that that was the only thing that got better...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,301 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Whaaa...?I love Liam Neeson in supervillain mode!!It's just vthat the villains weren't really as important in BB than in TDK.

Datameister 2,037 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yeah, it works fine for Batman Begins, which has more of an actual plot, much of which is Batman's origin story. It's not that the villains are bad - I liked Neeson too - but there was nothing like the Joker in that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 75 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have a sneaky suspicion Ra's will turn up, though.Hopefully not. It would be redundant for them to return to that storyline when it was pretty much all wrapped up in Begins, even if they were to bring in the daughter Talia Al Ghul. In all likelihood Ra's died and the League of Shadows went with him, and that's how it should stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 He was very much alive when Liam Neeson first showed up at Bruce's party.That's true and remember too that Liam's character said that he saved his master from the fire.All though I do have to agree I don't think they'll have that person come back again for the third film.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The problem with the character of Batman is, once you fleshed out the origin story, there's not THAT much of interest you can do with either Batman or Bruce without involving him in an actual plot concerning other (super) villians.

Matt C 452 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yes, unlike TDK, BB is actually a movie about Batman. Hopefully we'll see him rise in the next one.Uh, TDK is about Batman's fall. It's just that Harvey Dent and the Joker played a key role in challenging Batman how deep he'd go to save Gotham. Another thing I really hate is how people think the Joker is the main character, when he's actually sharing the screen with Harvey Dent and Bruce Wayne/Batman. Joker's only in 20 minutes of the film.IF you want a Joker-dominated film, Tim Burton's Batman is a clear example. Nicholson had more screentime than Kim Basinger and Michael Keaton combined.
