crocodile 8,020 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 A better look at Bane (Tom Hardy). BTW I've seen some bits of Hardy in Bronson recently. He might be very good in this role actually.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 455 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 All the set pics of Hardy as Bane are really, really good. But I'm getting a definite Jason Voorhees vibe from this Bane, especially the "facehugger" mask. Not a bad thing.I do find it interesting that his character is standing on a Tumbler, talking to the prison escapees and tearing up a photo of Harvey Dent (either to rouse them into action or reveal Harvey's dirty secret). Very much going back to the themes of both BB and TDK.And Marion Cotillard is looking very good. Her hairstyle in Public Enemies and Inception wasn't flattering at all.

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 They're filming TDK Rises in Pittsburgh right now, and blocking off blocks and street to do so for the next few weeks. If it wasn't so far and on work nights, I'd be tempted to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 455 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I won't consider this a spoiler: They shot a scene with Batman fighting Bane in broad daylight, with it "snowing" during shooting. It's expected these two will throw down, even without the trailer.Photo link: http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=21055199&postcount=152 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 455 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 How bout you don't decide what is and isn't a spoiler and play it safe?Uh, Batman fighting the main villain isn't a spoiler. Note how I'm putting spoiler tags on what happens afterwards, like when Marion Cotillard shows up in the tan Tumbler, flanked by Bane's heavies.The scene I mentioned yesterday with Bane is a bit spoilerish, but it does have spoiler tags.

Matt C 455 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Anne looks great. I don't see why people are complaining about the ears not being there... it's only one scene.

Red 75 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Reminds me of Julie Newmar. Apparently this isn't the full costume, and that she will wear a cowl at some point in the film. That I think will be more cat-themed than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Looking through the attached articles at Jay's link, there was someone holding something that looked a bit more like a more traditional cat/domino mask, although there's no indication of a cowl piece or anything. I'm reserving judgment right now.A thought that I have is this--what if Selina Kyle dons the Catwoman image as we know it in the wake of Batman's crippling by Bane (assuming that that happens)? I don't know, just a thought. It could theoretically work more or less like this, although I think it would be a bit lame. A mask with ears and a set of goggles is not that much to ask here. It's not likely it's going to drive the camp meters wild. But I suspect this is not the full costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,646 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 "No, no one's nervous about it. I mean, honestly, like, wait till you see this movie. Chris is doing insane things in it. And it's gonna be marvelous and it's gonna be way beyond what anyone imagines that it could be." That screams for a Hans Zimmer monologue about how many crazy thoughts he approached the score with, how he studied cat and bat types, travelled to the south American jungle to live amongst bats and wild cats to get a better understanding of how they tick.To then proceed and write an astonishing, mesmerizing, yet intense and brooding ... repackaging of The Dark Knight.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think this looks terrible judging from these images alone. Admittedly, I don't think Nolan's Batmans have ever looked great. Don't really like the designs of anything. I'm not a big fan of the new series. Still, Dark Knight was entertaining. But this sure LOOKS like a bad threequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think Catwoman looks good, and so does Bane walking firmly towards a retreating Batman.But I'm curious about Talia- er, I mean, "Miranda Tate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Nolan's films have had a habit of having less-than-stellar initial images. The first pictures of the Tumbler looked horrible, and I've since come to really dig it. The first pic of Joker didn't come close to doing justice to either Joker's final appearance in the film or Ledger's performance. I don't have any solid reason to think this is going to be awful at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,044 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 It was gutsy to take the Batmobile (and much of the Batman universe) in such a different stylistic direction, but I don't resent Nolan for making those sorts of decisions. I actually think they do a nice job of establishing a different sort of aesthetic that wouldn't necessarily work for all superheroes, but that's appropriate to a contemporary take on this particular superhero. If you want to criticize Nolan's Batman films, I think there are much bigger issues to talk about - the way the action is directed, the incomprehensible plot in TDK, the music, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
