Today, the first official image of Tom Hardy (Inception, Bronson) as Bane in Christopher Nolan's third installment in the Batman franchise, the Dark Knight Rises, dropped. I must say he looks fucking sick. I really did not know what to expect since Bane is larger than life character in the comics and I just did not know how he would look or fit in Christopher Nolan's dipped in reality Batman universe. But, after taking a gander at this photo, I am literally counting the seconds till July 20th 2012. From the cast announcements to the locations, I think this will probably be the biggest superhero movie every, fuck an Avengers. It is hard to top what was done in the Dark Knight and to find a villain as iconic as Heath Ledger's Joker but I think Chris Nolan accepted that challenge and is looking to wow audiences once again. July 20th kiddies, remember the date.
