First look, someone hit the gym.
 
Thanks for making the thread.

Like i mentioned in the other thread, it looks like the mask uses gaseous chemicals. So maybe venom is in the form of gas in this movie.

Mayhaps Scarecrow makes another appearance.
 
And a big version that I'll just link: http://i.imgur.com/Spg4V.jpg

Very hyped for this. Loving how Bane looks. Although he doesn't look particularly scary in the picture. I shouldn't worry though, I know he's a menace.

And all movies with Cillian Murphy are made 16.4% better by putting a bag over his head.

Looks hokey. Will wait for footage before full on trolling, however.

Honestly it... looks like Bane, for better or worse. I'm far more interested in seeing Catwoman but this will do for now.

I don't see how it looks hokey. We knew Bane would have a mask on his face at the very least. They could have included some weird spandex outfit and gloves or something, from what I've seen of the comic. Instead it's just the mask and him. I like it.
And I don't think he looks like a mexican wrestler precisely because he's not wearing the unitard at all.

Hmm...same would apply to some people I have woken up next to. I suppose it could go the other way around too.

Back pimples. He's obviously juicing.

I'm guessing you're just being a bit snarky... but anyone who believes Hardy (and any other actor who has to bulk up a LOT) isn't doing HGH is insane.
 
Scullibundo said:
Let's be honest, Solo. This is probably the best look you're going to get of the character anyway.

depends on how it looks from the front. technically, there will be a giant black strap going up the center of his face. an immediate reaction based on little information is that it'll look better without the center strap, like the gas masks from Begins.

A bit of both I would say. You need to bulk up ASAP so obviously you may look for help.
 
Damn, did not take long for the Gaf-Elitist crew to hit full force up in here.

For Bane it looks fantastic, nice way to have the mask without some really cheesy gimp mask get up.

Oh no, how will Batman beat Bane if there aren't big chemical tubes to disconnect when he jumps on his back?

It took Bane nearly 20 years to figure this out. Leave him alone!
 
Be careful everyone. There's a spoiler going around about Bane's introduction in the movie, and what that green screen in the well was about.

Sounds really awesome though.
 
Solo said:
Did we? I don't know enough about the character to know. Why can't he be mask-les?
Click to expand...
I only had/have a surface knowledge of the character, but I had always thought he was a guy who had to have some sort of head attachment so he could constantly take in a drug that made him angrier and stronger. So I was looking for something on the back of the head, but a mask on the face doesn't wildly differ from my expectations.

PM? Or spoiler tag it?
 
For anyone wondering about his mask, at least in the comics (from Wikipedia):

Bane was born in the fictional Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca, in a prison called Peña Dura ("Hard Rock"). His father Edmund Dorrance had been a revolutionary and had escaped Santa Prisca's court system. The corrupt government however decreed that his young son would serve out the man's life sentence, and thus Bane's childhood and early adult life are spent in the amoral penitentiary environment.[3][4] Though imprisoned, his natural abilities allow him to develop extraordinary skills within the prison's walls. He reads as many books as he can get his hands on, builds up his body in the prison's gym, and learns to fight in the merciless school of prison life. Despite his circumstances, he finds teachers of various sorts during his incarceration, ranging from hardened convicts to an elderly Jesuit priest, under whose tutelage he apparently receives a classical education. Bane murders this priest upon his return to Santa Prisca years later. However, he commits his first murder at the age of eight, stabbing a criminal who wanted to use him to gain information about the prison.[4] During his years in prison, Bane carries a teddy bear he calls Osito (Spanish for "little bear"), whom he considers his only friend.[5] It is revealed that Osito has a hole in his back to hold a knife that Bane uses against anyone who bullies him.[3][4]
Bane ultimately establishes himself as the "king" of Peña Dura prison. The prison's controllers take note and eventually force him to become a test subject for a mysterious drug known as Venom,[4] which had killed all other subjects; the drug is administered by a doctor who bears a passing resemblance to another Batman foe, Dr. Hugo Strange. Later, in Vengeance of Bane II the very same doctor encounters Bane again in Gotham and it can be confirmed that it is not Hugo Strange, who at that point in Batman continuity was a crazed psychologist and not a surgeon.[4] The Peña Dura prison Venom experiment nearly kills Bane at first, but he survives and finds the drug vastly increases his physical strength, although he needs to take it every 12 hours (via a system of tubes pumped directly into his brain) or he would suffer debilitating side-effects.[3][4]

Of course, this may change in the movie...but some background info.

EDIT: Spoiler'd it, even though there's no guarantee the movie will follow it completely.

Bane will break his back. Batman will be on the ground and remember the words of his dad. ''Why do we fall, Bruce?'' And then he will RISE and fatality Bane with his forearm spikes.

Rumors about Banes origins in the movie avoid spoiler if you do not want to be spoiled
From what I read rumor is from IMDB so take them with a grain of salt.

I spoke briefly to a few P.A.'s as the set was being "locked down." This was the rumor: take it with a grain of salt. Bane is discovered after Ra's burns down a village with the league of shadows --- every citizen completely wiped out -- they watch as the mayhem ensues. However, before leaving, a young boy rises from a BURING PIT, the boy (young bane) is covered in flames. Apparently, he doesn't even flinch which makes Ra's intrigued. They take him in and teach him everything he knows So basically, Bane's only real advantage is that he has a genetic mutation that makes him impervious to pain. No super strength or chemical enhancers (tht i was made aware of)
 
Here it is.....
AVOID THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE OPENING OF THE MOVIE AND WHAT THAT GREEN SCREEN AND WELL WAS ABOUT.

A young Ra's Al Ghul and the League of Shadows massacre an entire village in the opening of the movie. They place the bodies into a well or ring (seen from those production pics a few weeks ago) and set it on fire. A child crawls out for the well, covered in flames. This is Bane. It seems he's impervious to pain. Ra's Al Ghul takes him under his wing after that.

So that pretty much explains the The Fire Rises message.

That's it.

I am not buying it.
Venom is far too deeply a part of the character.

I'm not believing this. No way
he won't take Venom.

Yeah. I think it somewhat explains the fire rises hashtag but that's about it. Also
Why would he bother with a mask in the case of the spoilers?
