[@griminale1334]

More fool you, in the comics Bane is next level.

[@kingcobra2858]

Bane was one of the most interesting Batman villain imo. He's both a physical and intelligent threat to Batman. Because of this he had different versions either leaning more on the physical type or the intelligent type. One version in the Batman cartoons, he's like a ninja assassin that can hulk out. In the Arkham games he's straight out a steroid-powered hulk that Batman literally cnt fight head on. Hardy's version is more of a terrorist fanatic with almost inhuman strenght.

Nolan: No Tom, I think it's better to go in a more tradition rou- *Tom rests his hand near Nolan's neck* Tom: Do you feel in charge?

That’s what makes that scene so chilling. He merely rests the back of his hand on the guys shoulder. Barely touching him but you can see Daggetts reaction. Just the force behind his hand resting there was enough to paralyze him. So good.

Exactly why creativity is so important to movies. You need filmmakers who are willing to take risks like this in order to get more memorable performances. This is what makes Nolan's Batman movies so great. Joker and Bane in particular were created in a way that made them entirely unique to Nolans take on Batman characters and will be remembered forever because of it. Rather than what most superhero movies do where everything is really safe and generic and is easily forgotten after watching it.

Tom Hardy was the best part of The Dark Knight Rises.

[@aplus1080]

Ya unfortunately the desire for a shyamalan twist ruined the character.

[@WesleyB-Rook]

He was the only part that made my dark knight rise

[@AlexAnteroLammikko]

@@WesleyB-Rook I appreciate the pun, but your name is Wesley Brookman, you don't have a dark knight :p

[@WesleyB-Rook]

@@AlexAnteroLammikko it may not be dark, but it is definitely a knight!

I liked it cause it was sophisticated yet brutal. Though the writing was the best part. “The shadows betray you BECAUSE THEY BELONG TO ME”

[@quintecent8903]

This is such a bad line to choose. I think it sounds extremely cheesy.

[@ders972]

I really like his acting ability. Great actor!
