“Theatricality and Deception, powerful ages to the uninitiated but we are initiated, aren’t we Bruce” “Ahh....so you think darkness is your ally you merely adopted the dark, I was born in it moulded by it. I never saw the light till I was already a man but, it was nothing to me but BLINDING! The shadows betray you, because they belong to me!” CIA Agent- If I pull that off will you die? Bane- It would be extremely painful... CIA Agent- Your a big guy Bane-....for you
Izzy Gee but they clearly established in the prison that the mask kept him from feeling pain...they didn't say how or why they just said the mask does that. that's less realistic than any of the other attempts they just said suspend beliefs and common sense.
so use a jacked up luchador on drugs rather than an organized crime boss or a genius who builds traps to test his own intelligence against the hero's. Oh wait... the luchador isn't on the drugs that make him stupid strong and unbelievably durable and practically impervious to pain and instead give him a mask that makes his pain go away... yeah, realistic is the word I'd use. This movie should have been so much better with a different villain, the way the first 2 were.
BiggEJohnson23 the whole charm of bane in the comics is that without his venom he is as intelligent as batman, the venom he injects straight into his body doesn't make him stupid it just enrages him, much like real world roid rage, having him as some shitty terrorist completely goes against his character considering what happened to his home
And yet, Batman fanboys will still criticizes Dark Knight Rises as a horrible and weakest out of the three Nolan Batman Trilogy. I love it. Tom Hardy is a complete badass.
Mario world N.Y How was I generalizing if majority of of both Batman fanboys and perfectionist movie critics were panning "Rises" for the stupidest of reasons?
You don't even have to watch the whole movie to know why Hardy was cast as Bane. Watch the first scene and keep looking at his eyes during the airplane scene. That's all.
And I thought spitting in someone's face was disrespectful. Laying your hand on someone's shoulder is so much more intrusive. LMAO Damn, I should've done that to my previous supervisor. "Do you feel in charge?"
True, but that still shouldn't take away from it. Ledger's Joker was one of the finest examples of method acting of all time. The fact that Hardy was able to put in a performance that was even comparable is impressive in itself.
One thing I noticed and LOVED was during the scene where Bane reads Gordon's resignation letter on love TV, at one point his brow furrows and he stops reading for a moment as he very slightly shakes his head in disappointment. Those two tiny gestures define Bane so much. He truly believes that he MUST do what he is doing because everyone else has failed Gotham, including those who said they were there to defend it. He's truly disappointed and disgusted with Gordon's lie, believing it to be a greater sin than anything Bane himself could ever do.
I loved the fact in the scenes where he was in prison, his humanity outshone the whole pit. And the vulnerability he shows whilst Talia was telling Batman their connection. Awesome acting. As for his brutality, he knew when to use it and when to make the mere thought of it more fearful.
man Nolan really did set the bar very very high with his.Batman trilogy, I don't think we will ever get another comic movie even close to being as good as these were
There have already been several. In Superman II, for example: the swelling Superman score, "Looking for me, General?", and then the iconic *"Son of Jor-El! **_Kneel_** before Zod!"* just so perfectly captures the half-epic, half-cheesy awesomeness of the character in a way Nolan's Batman never could.
Tom is easily the most versatile actor of the 21st century. From Bane to Eames, Bronson to Eddie Brock, Max Rockatansky to Alfie Solomons, my guy has had SO many incredible roles, and not one of them was like any of the others. He's just awesome.
well you could not do clayface realistically, the only way you could do it is by making him an expert in makeup design and give him enough time to create different prosthetic masks to make himself look like a different person but you could not have realistic way for a man to actually shape his body into different forms or have different facial features. However that kind of person would pose no physcial threat to Batman would be stopped easily and would not have time to put on different masks in time to get away. It would be a boring character.
Idk anything about Killer Croc really aside from what I've seen in Suicide Squad..but judging by what I did see in the movie, he didn't even seem like he'd be worthy of a movie with Batman..he seemed barely above an average criminal.
i don't think Bane was bad, if anything i reckon tom hardy and his character was the saving grace of the dark knight rises cause really what is the one thing you remember about the dark knight rises 1. Bane 2. Bane breaking batman's back 3. Bane's quotes 4. The movie's plot holes
Voracious T weirdly I remember Anne Hathaway's Catwoman more than anything else in that movie, probably because she was the only "light hearted" bit of the film so her lines landed and stayed with me.
the smell from his mouth... is unbearable...That's why Ra's al ghul said he's monster... and didn't want his daughter to have the same smell in her mouth...
Say what ya want about the movie, but Tom Hardy was a phenomenal Bane. He was easily the MVP of the movie despite the movie's direction to have him be an oversized pawn than the main threat. An interaction between Nolan's Joker and Bane would be described only as... Glorious!
as a matter of fact, had heath ledger not passed away, a scene was allegedly planned for right after bane gives his speech in front of the prison and frees the prisoners. he was supposed to meet joker, and have him be the only prisoner not set free. because the joker is the complete antithesis of bane, as far as villains go. bane, although a terrorist, had good intentions for the city of gotham. joker is the very opposite of that-- he stands for chaos, for the element that cannot be controlled. in the words of michael caine, he just wants to watch the world burn.
Top Down I think that scene could be topped only by Joker doesn’t want to leave. Imagine all the prisioners leaving prison, a whole caos, and Joker standing there, sitting in his prision cell with the orange jumpsuit
Top Down that would have bin amazing, imagine this bad ass mercenary who isnt afraid of anyone but wont let the joker out because hese too crazy...speaks volumes about the Joker and Batman.
I really love Tom Hardy's Bane. His Bane is crazy intimidating, his very presence in a scene demands respect. There's so much to be said for his Bane, but for me it's literally just the voice. Like if anyone actually will, check out the voice of Bane in the video-game Injustice 2. Then, imagine THAT voice on Tom's Bane. I think it'd be a perfect fit.
The best part about Tom Hardy's Bane is its accuracy of of the character. He NAILS the south-american accent, and really brings that culture into picture with brilliant complexity.
Personally I loved his performance in TDKR, despite what others may think of the movie it was fun to watch and was an exceptional finale to the trilogy.
It had some great individual elements, but the fact that he's turns out to a glorified henchman (as opposed to the cunning and extremely intelligent villain from the comics) really sucked! It doubly sucked that the whole movie made him seem like he was in charge of everything (no pun intended)!
Tom Hardy was just as good as Heath Ledger. They are just as good as eachother for different reasons, because both portrayed very different characters.
Tony Tornado No. His OG origin and design are great and could easily be reworked into a plausible realistic design. I liked Hardy as Bane but he wasn't the character I know and love
General Vic Rattlehead agreed, Bane is my favourite Batman vilain, but I'm talking about the visual, this mercenarie look is much more menacing than the luchador look.
I saw the movie "Bronson" and was in awe of Mr. Hardy's ability to become the character that he was portraying. Not just with his acting lines, but his whole body. There isn't a single movie with Mr. Hardy in it that I don't like. He is a very gifted actor.
Tom Hardy was also chosen for the movie Dunkirk because of his characteristic eyes. He was to act with his eyes while wearing the flight mask during his Spitfire flying sequences.
+WhatCulture I think 2 moments on the plane- when he glares at the good doctor after saying "we had to find out what he told you" and the scathing contempt when he says "crashing this plane" he is able to render huge & subtle emotion with just his two little peepers: Fuck off good acting, that guy has the chops!
I walked into that movie thinking that bane and Catwoman would be the worst part of the movie they turned out to be the best part of the movie. I think Tom Hardy's rendition of bane was absolutely masterful.
Despite having an English father, Bane is always given Hispanic, Latin, Romani, Hellene and Slav accents ! He's British ! And this time they actually got it right
Dude, I truly appreciate that you made a video on Tom Hardy's Bane. IDK about others I honestly love the every moment of the Bane played by Tom Hardy & it was literally one of the greatest acted villain after Ledger in TDK series. I loved it, just don't know why others can't see his efforts!
TDK and Rises are amazing. Bane and Catwoman were perfection in Rises, which is one of the most underrated films ever. Great final chapter and the best ending to a film series that I can remember.
Bane's one of the best supervillains on film to date. Much underappreciated I think, especially since the fact that he resembles tyrants and dictators existing in the world today. I don't think any other superhero film has raised the stakes to the point that TDKR did -- with the entire city being under siege by the bad-guy, and your hero broken beyond reason.
If you think Hardy is great as Bane, you should see him in Legend where he plays both leading roles as the Kray twins - you'd be convinced they're different people. He is that good.
Super well summarised. Including the wonderful Bane impression. :D I had watched Inception prior to watching Dark Knight Rises, and was beyond confused when I read Tom Hardy in the credits, thinking that this couldn't possibly the oddly charming same guy we had seen in Inception. Love that Nolan works with many of the same actors time and time again. Yes, fresh talent is awesome, but I know how beautiful it is to have an opportunity to create something great with someone you love to work with and who you know will understand what you need from them perfectly, and deliver hell. :D
“Ooo you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, moulded by it and by the time I saw the light it was already BLINDING!!” I love this line even thoughts a lie because-as we find out he was not the child who escaped the dark.
It wasn't a lie. Bane was born in the pit. He simply never escaped, Talia brought Ras Al Ghul back to the pit and that's when he was brought out. You're forgetting the key piece of that line that tells us in that scene that he isn't the child who escaped. "I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding."
If you had seen the movie Warrior before you did this video, then you would have understood why Tom Hardy is such an incredible actor when it comes to his face and emotion rather than through his voice. Warrior is one of my favorite films ever, mainly because Hardy is able to portray a man who has held onto sorry, hate, pain, and revenge all of his life, but one who hates that he has to hold onto it. Then at the end of Warrior you see him finally break that chain of resentment he has for others and all of his emotions flow out of him, and you can tell Hardy was expressing those emotions throughout the whole movie, but you don't see them outwardly until the end.
I loved how Hardy moved his head while talking as Bane. Especially can see it during the Harvey Dent speech. It's something like: "I'm a crazy genius who is obviously speaking the truth."
You might note in the hand gestures of Bane, that his index finger is extended. Relaxed, but extended. This is a habit, I have noted, in many martial artists who study sword art. You tend to see it in shooters as well. Trigger discipline follows them everywhere.
Gotta say tho, other than Hardy's performance in Bronson, his acting chops in a barely noticed film "the drop" were frickin unbelievable. "Nobody ever sees you comin, do they?" Scary as hell.
Aaron Alejos that would be absolutely sick! Especially if the X-Men series start to turn a little more like the Batman series and go quite dark. Then yes, Tom Hardy would be fucking perfect as Wolverine especially because we don't see that many grewsome killings more things like that x-Men was my absolute favourite cartoon growing up and my older age Tom Hardy has been my favourite actor ever since I first saw him in Bronson and soon after I saw an interview with him when I was in Amsterdam of all states and it was an interview with Tom and Jonathan Ross. Tom was hardly wasn't even known by that stage but I remember being very very stoned and mushroomed up and saying to my brother, this guy has the potential to be the best actor in the world! I swear, that wasn't on a statement. Yeah sure a lot of people will agree that he's not, but I will stick with my mushroom induced opinion on Mr Tom Hardy! So yes, I only hope Hardy would play the role of Wolverine if the movie franchise choose to take it to a deeper and darker realm.... I hope you agree and more importantly you know what I mean?
I love the scene where Bane puts his hand on the bad dude's (uh, other bad dude's) shoulder. When the guy tells Bane he's paid him small fortune and Bane replies, "And this, somehow, gives you power over me?" Love it. OK, I think I know what movie I need to watch tonight.
Tom hardy's performance in this was incredible. I saw this movie 3 times in the theater and bane was the main reason why I liked it so much and still do.
It's a new corner that acting has taken. I rate Tom Hardy as the best English actor. The subtle performance technique is the new form. This was pioneered by Anthony Hopkins, and I regard both of these actors, to be the best actors on the planet. 🌎
"You fight like a younger man, with nothing held back...Admirable, but mistaken" I swear the first time I heard him talk I was like "Huh"? It was so hard to hear him with that heavy accent and stupid mask. Now I see, the man was a poet in this movie!
the priceless and unique nuance of bane when thalia stabs batman to protect bane, and reveals her real identity and her loyalty to bane, is also when you discover bane,s fragility and humanity .
When bane is first revealed he claims that no one cared who he was before he out on the mask. The film is not clear on how long he has been a mercenary, but it is fair to assume that he was one for some time before donning the mask. During this time he failed to achieve any recongition, much like in his pre-mercenary life, and he came to realize he needed a symbol, or a brand if you will, if anyone was to take him seriously. This is a metaphor for how capitalism and our society as a whole focuses too much on brand recognition, to the point of forgoing actual function and form. After this realization CIA asks if he(Bane) would die if it(the mask) was pulled off. This is a multifaceted question, asking both if the character Bane has build up around his mask would die and if Bane himself is so connected to the idea of himself as a mercenary that he could no longer live life as a real human bean. This draws inspiration from psychological studies regarding the perception of the quality of items based on their supposed brand. Your brain will trick you that items that are in fact identical but with different brands or descriptions, or just items that are differently priced, are is some way different from each other. The value that society places on brands are so high that without them some products would simply cease to be. Bane responds to this that "it would be extremely painful". He affirms that his dependancy on the idea of himself is so great that dispelling the illusion would hurt him, but not kill him. CIA affirms that Bane is a Big Guy and while removing the mask might hurt Bane, he can live on without the charade. This is a message directed at the audience. We should not live our lives based on the perception of others, but on what makes each of us happy. Nolan wrote this scene as a metaphor for escaping the illusion that society forces upon us from birth. He wants us all to grow as human beings, grow beyond phony charades and small guys who base our value as humans on the "masks" we wear, rather who we really are on the inside. Bane's response confirms that the scene was made For you.
When I first saw the movie, I wasn't quite sure what to make of Bane, and I mostly laughed at the voice. But after repeated viewings, I've really grown to love Hardy's performance.
Romani gypsies have nothing to do with Latin peoples! Romani gypsies originate in India, even though the name sounds similar to the Romans' (the Latins) and Romanians' (one of the peoples of latin origin).
I'm pretty sure Bartley Gorman was an Irish gypsy, not a Romani gypsy. That would also make his accent Celtic/Germanic not Latin. Who got mixed up, whatculture or Tom Hardy himself?
I never was much of a DC fan and I must admit that what made me look deeply into the comics, was the Nolan trilogy. No matter what people say, it was fkn wicked. Now, with that in mind, I believe that the comics, with a little twist here and there, could go forward with the cinematic Bane. Just saying.

I love that scene. So powerfull!
Bane was the good guy!!
And then he tickles him to death.
That scene was terrifing... that shows how to impose authority.
I use that line at work lol. Only so many people get it and it's disappointing
The way he put his hand on his shoulder too
When they showed Bane for the first time, I honestly couldn't tell it was Tom Hardy, even when knowing it was him.
Just like Heath Ledger...couldn't see him in his Joker
Happy Industries- "Or perhaps he was wondering why you would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane."-Bane to CIA Agent
i still don't believe its him
I also found it no-one noticed it was miley when she wore the blond wig in hannah Montana. really weird
I found it odd that Hardy was the only star who did not attend the premiere. Makes me wonder if there was some CGI involved in Bane's creation.
Hardy acted with his eyes again in mad max and then again in Dunkirk. Guy is fantastic
Tom Hardy's eyebrows could have an oscar each
Legend
@@HeatyFrog 😂😂😂
As Locke, it was just him, no one else, just him, a bluetooth telephone and a long motorway journey.
Tbh his acting in Mad Max was pretty weird lol, charming but weird
the "you think darkness is your ally" speech made Bane awesome as well
Nolan's trilogy was meant and made to be realistic! That's it.
Michael Bleckler That makes sense. It bothered me that he wasn't the juiced luchador I like. It was better then other realistic attempts at comics.
Izzy Gee but they clearly established in the prison that the mask kept him from feeling pain...they didn't say how or why they just said the mask does that. that's less realistic than any of the other attempts they just said suspend beliefs and common sense.
so use a jacked up luchador on drugs rather than an organized crime boss or a genius who builds traps to test his own intelligence against the hero's.

You don't even have to watch the whole movie to know why Hardy was cast as Bane. Watch the first scene and keep looking at his eyes during the airplane scene. That's all.
Interesting, I'll have to watch that again
The death stare he gives to Dr Pavel after he says “I told them nothing” is pretty badass.
And I thought spitting in someone's face was disrespectful. Laying your hand on someone's shoulder is so much more intrusive. LMAO Damn, I should've done that to my previous supervisor. "Do you feel in charge?"

I would say Hardy's rendition of Bane was on par with Ledger's Joker.
Definitely than that Bane-Grundy thing from the older movies
True, but that still shouldn't take away from it. Ledger's Joker was one of the finest examples of method acting of all time. The fact that Hardy was able to put in a performance that was even comparable is impressive in itself.

Tom Hardy is Legendary as Bane. My favorite rendition of the character .
The visual aspect of Bane in this movie is SO incredible and intimidating, it should be the canon visual for Bane for ever. even in the comics

Thought nobody noticed that, it had me on stitches 😂😂😂
Wonder bread
Bam Bam Lol I was like did he just do that?
I saw that yet didn't realize what it was until now 😭😭😭
Tom Hardy was also chosen for the movie Dunkirk because of his characteristic eyes.
He was to act with his eyes while wearing the flight mask during his Spitfire flying sequences.
+WhatCulture
I think 2 moments on the plane- when he glares at the good doctor after saying "we had to find out what he told you" and the scathing contempt when he says "crashing this plane" he is able to render huge & subtle emotion with just his two little peepers: Fuck off good acting, that guy has the chops!
He is a big guy!
U U U U
For you
Someone get this hothead outta here.
but is he 6'8" with arms that are as big as cars?
Styk Lannes hah haaaaa I get it. Painful.
I walked into that movie thinking that bane and Catwoman would be the worst part of the movie they turned out to be the best part of the movie. I think Tom Hardy's rendition of bane was absolutely masterful.
Catwoman is not best, jerkoff shagger
Despite having an English father, Bane is always given Hispanic, Latin, Romani, Hellene and Slav accents ! He's British ! And this time they actually got it right
English father? Who?
@@andrewmccloud8581 A Gotham supervillain, "The King Snake" (Sir Edmund "E" Dorrance)
Bane wasn’t raised in Britain though so HES not British
The saddest part for Tom Hardy fans is Tom's mouth is covered, those beautiful lips. Shame.
For you…
Oh, babe, now you spoke to my heart 😍 That man is sexy from head to toe and those lips...
And that's how amazing he is. His eyes told the story.
" For you. "
MetalPcAngel gonna be honest with you dude I read that in Oberyn Martell’s voice
It’s funny how this comment was placed right under another comment that says “ He’s a big guy”
I should diddely played bane
" what a diddely diddely lovely voice"
Stupid Flanders
Stupid Sexy Flanders!
that's a lovely lovely voice!
So much yes!!!
No you look more like Commissioner Gordon to me, Mr. Flanders. Don't believe me just watch 5.22
Am i the only one who was a tad disappointed this bane didnt get jacked up and on the juice?
Well, his mask is doing this in the movies.
Josh Paul it wouldnt work if he from tiny to huge from venom in nolanverse, it would be shit on for not fitting with the gritty realism of the trilogy
Josh Paul yes
I didn't like Nolan's take on Batman, or his foes, the Joker is the only good thing to come out of that trilogy
greenrobot5 lol ha
Dude, I truly appreciate that you made a video on Tom Hardy's Bane. IDK about others I honestly love the every moment of the Bane played by Tom Hardy & it was literally one of the greatest acted villain after Ledger in TDK series. I loved it, just don't know why others can't see his efforts!
I prefer bane to the Joker in the trilogy. I just found his acting to be so convincing
I accuse you of treason, but I respect your descicion.
Ledger and Hardy both were amazing. I hope Hardy gets the Bane role again if Bane ever returns. Rip ledger. 🙏
TDK and Rises are amazing. Bane and Catwoman were perfection in Rises, which is one of the most underrated films ever. Great final chapter and the best ending to a film series that I can remember.
Master of subtlety and imbuing his characters with dynamic energy
“Blindly jumping into a role”
Literally a picture of Stevie Wonder in a biscuit roll.
Fucking Priceless.
Bane's one of the best supervillains on film to date. Much underappreciated I think, especially since the fact that he resembles tyrants and dictators existing in the world today.
I don't think any other superhero film has raised the stakes to the point that TDKR did -- with the entire city being under siege by the bad-guy, and your hero broken beyond reason.
that hand placement was absolutely brilliant. it broke the illusion that physical contact/violence was not an option.
He is just a remarkably talented guy. He can do every and any role convincingly and flawlessly.
If you think Hardy is great as Bane, you should see him in Legend where he plays both leading roles as the Kray twins - you'd be convinced they're different people. He is that good.
Super well summarised. Including the wonderful Bane impression. :D
I had watched Inception prior to watching Dark Knight Rises, and was beyond confused when I read Tom Hardy in the credits, thinking that this couldn't possibly the oddly charming same guy we had seen in Inception. Love that Nolan works with many of the same actors time and time again. Yes, fresh talent is awesome, but I know how beautiful it is to have an opportunity to create something great with someone you love to work with and who you know will understand what you need from them perfectly, and deliver hell. :D
Dude! Your imitation of Tom's Bane is almost perfect 😃
I always loved the way he slightly looked away when saying the torture would not be of his body but of his soul
First time I ever saw Tom Hardy was as Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis, and I thought he was a scrawny little thing then. How times have changed!
He still is sort of scrawny. Dude had to bulk way up for this role. He had to do it to play Brunson too
Foebane72- first saw him as Twombly in Blackhawk Down. Small roll, but was very good even in that. The guy is a chameleon.
Foebane72 first saw him in a version of withering heights and say what you will about the storyline, he actually was really good as heathcliff.
He bulked up to portray Bronson. "The rest is history," as they say.
When I saw Tom Hardy in Nemesis, I knew he was going to be great. He was great in what is arguably the weakest Star Trek.
Easily my favorite villain of the Dark Knight series, and that's saying a lot when you had Heath Ledger's Joker in it.
“Ooo you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, moulded by it and by the time I saw the light it was already BLINDING!!” I love this line even thoughts a lie because-as we find out he was not the child who escaped the dark.
It wasn't a lie. Bane was born in the pit. He simply never escaped, Talia brought Ras Al Ghul back to the pit and that's when he was brought out.
You're forgetting the key piece of that line that tells us in that scene that he isn't the child who escaped. "I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding."
He should have gotten an Oscar for that performance.
If you had seen the movie Warrior before you did this video, then you would have understood why Tom Hardy is such an incredible actor when it comes to his face and emotion rather than through his voice. Warrior is one of my favorite films ever, mainly because Hardy is able to portray a man who has held onto sorry, hate, pain, and revenge all of his life, but one who hates that he has to hold onto it. Then at the end of Warrior you see him finally break that chain of resentment he has for others and all of his emotions flow out of him, and you can tell Hardy was expressing those emotions throughout the whole movie, but you don't see them outwardly until the end.
I loved how Hardy moved his head while talking as Bane. Especially can see it during the Harvey Dent speech. It's something like: "I'm a crazy genius who is obviously speaking the truth."
You might note in the hand gestures of Bane, that his index finger is extended. Relaxed, but extended.
This is a habit, I have noted, in many martial artists who study sword art.
You tend to see it in shooters as well. Trigger discipline follows them everywhere.
I loved the moment when he placed his hand on his shoulder... that simple intimidating factor...
Gotta say tho, other than Hardy's performance in Bronson, his acting chops in a barely noticed film "the drop" were frickin unbelievable. "Nobody ever sees you comin, do they?" Scary as hell.
2:14 “blindly jumping into a roll”
omg hahah
Okay ... after Jackman is done with Logan, I'm interested in seeing what Hardy could do with the Wolverine character.
Aaron Alejos that would be absolutely sick! Especially if the X-Men series start to turn a little more like the Batman series and go quite dark. Then yes, Tom Hardy would be fucking perfect as Wolverine especially because we don't see that many grewsome killings more things like that x-Men was my absolute favourite cartoon growing up and my older age Tom Hardy has been my favourite actor ever since I first saw him in Bronson and soon after I saw an interview with him when I was in Amsterdam of all states and it was an interview with Tom and Jonathan Ross. Tom was hardly wasn't even known by that stage but I remember being very very stoned and mushroomed up and saying to my brother, this guy has the potential to be the best actor in the world! I swear, that wasn't on a statement. Yeah sure a lot of people will agree that he's not, but I will stick with my mushroom induced opinion on Mr Tom Hardy! So yes, I only hope Hardy would play the role of Wolverine if the movie franchise choose to take it to a deeper and darker realm.... I hope you agree and more importantly you know what I mean?
Aaron Alejos that makes sense because he's 59 wolverine is a nit smaller but still
Actually original Wolverine height is 5"3. So Tom is still perfect to play him :D
@@minhtridnguyen1649 well fuck me running I'm 5'3"
To be fair, Hardy's Bane completely fit Nolan's universe
“Blindly jumping into a roll” 2:14 😂
First time I saw Tom was in Band Of Brothers, playing pvt. Janovec, such a huge difference with his appearance in this movie and 'Warrior'
The actors they got to play Scarecrow, Joker and Bane in these movies where amazing!
Scarecrow is apparently cillian Murphy aka tommy shelby
Bane was actually my favorite villain from the Nolan Trilogy!!
"Blindly jumping into a roll..." It took my brain a second to process what I was looking at and then I lost it.
Then why did you put Bane on the "Top 10 Most Disappointing Villains in Movie History"
Because he was stone-faced drunk that day.
I love the scene where Bane puts his hand on the bad dude's (uh, other bad dude's) shoulder. When the guy tells Bane he's paid him small fortune and Bane replies, "And this, somehow, gives you power over me?" Love it. OK, I think I know what movie I need to watch tonight.
Tom hardy's performance in this was incredible. I saw this movie 3 times in the theater and bane was the main reason why I liked it so much and still do.
It's a new corner that acting has taken. I rate Tom Hardy as the best English actor. The subtle performance technique is the new form. This was pioneered by Anthony Hopkins, and I regard both of these actors, to be the best actors on the planet. 🌎
Спасибо, что по достоинству оценили Тома. Я его обожаю. Том бог❤❤❤ Бриллиант среди британских актеров.
i am going to watch dark knight rises tonight x
For you.
Thank god somebody's praising this character. I think he rocks.
Jez the " jumping blindly into a role " joke was hilarious! Stevie young in a roll ! Brilliant !
His absolute ability to also emote through noises that aren’t necessarily words also made Bane great!
The part when bane is walking around the stock exchange and gives somebody the head node....i love that part..
Also when he grabs his helmet from that random dude holding it then says "Thank You" politely. 🤣
@@mattg177 hell ya i just seen that part 20 minutes ago..lol
He was a fucking awesome Bane! Best Batman Villan!
DIRT McGIRT 2nd best
@@henryhaynes9635 For you...
"You fight like a younger man, with nothing held back...Admirable, but mistaken"
I swear the first time I heard him talk I was like "Huh"? It was so hard to hear him with that heavy accent and stupid mask.
Now I see, the man was a poet in this movie!
the priceless and unique nuance of bane when thalia stabs batman to protect bane, and reveals her real identity and her loyalty to bane, is also when you discover bane,s fragility and humanity .
Hardy, Bale, Ledger and Murphy are some actors that clearly blew Nolan away and became his favourites.
Bane?
Tell me about Bane.Why does he wears a mask?
The Warchief Zeke Jaeger if u watched the film u should know why
andreas kalifommatos Ok,I will give you another chance.
When bane is first revealed he claims that no one cared who he was before he out on the mask. The film is not clear on how long he has been a mercenary, but it is fair to assume that he was one for some time before donning the mask. During this time he failed to achieve any recongition, much like in his pre-mercenary life, and he came to realize he needed a symbol, or a brand if you will, if anyone was to take him seriously. This is a metaphor for how capitalism and our society as a whole focuses too much on brand recognition, to the point of forgoing actual function and form.
After this realization CIA asks if he(Bane) would die if it(the mask) was pulled off. This is a multifaceted question, asking both if the character Bane has build up around his mask would die and if Bane himself is so connected to the idea of himself as a mercenary that he could no longer live life as a real human bean. This draws inspiration from psychological studies regarding the perception of the quality of items based on their supposed brand. Your brain will trick you that items that are in fact identical but with different brands or descriptions, or just items that are differently priced, are is some way different from each other. The value that society places on brands are so high that without them some products would simply cease to be.
Bane responds to this that "it would be extremely painful". He affirms that his dependancy on the idea of himself is so great that dispelling the illusion would hurt him, but not kill him.
CIA affirms that Bane is a Big Guy and while removing the mask might hurt Bane, he can live on without the charade. This is a message directed at the audience. We should not live our lives based on the perception of others, but on what makes each of us happy. Nolan wrote this scene as a metaphor for escaping the illusion that society forces upon us from birth. He wants us all to grow as human beings, grow beyond phony charades and small guys who base our value as humans on the "masks" we wear, rather who we really are on the inside.
Bane's response confirms that the scene was made For you.
Saggen Westberg human "being" not "bean" ... sorry couldn't help myself 😀
Goddamm,mates.
Ok,new one:
You are big guy!
He is equally fantastic in the tv show Taboo now.
The best ever bane Tom hardy is a master at what he does
When I first saw the movie, I wasn't quite sure what to make of Bane, and I mostly laughed at the voice. But after repeated viewings, I've really grown to love Hardy's performance.
Tom Hardy is just plain amazing, love this guy, love his acting.
Romani gypsies have nothing to do with Latin peoples! Romani gypsies originate in India, even though the name sounds similar to the Romans' (the Latins) and Romanians' (one of the peoples of latin origin).
With no survivors!
Who said anything about Romani gypsies being of latin descent?
I'd say tinkers called Gorman would have bigger issues with this than being called Roma
Da frate da....
@@TheEugeep the video did.
"...it's still Romani latin" (not a thing)
Tom Hardy is crushing it in the show Taboo.
I'm pretty sure Bartley Gorman was an Irish gypsy, not a Romani gypsy. That would also make his accent Celtic/Germanic not Latin. Who got mixed up, whatculture or Tom Hardy himself?
Can't a Romani Gypsy be Irish, or a Irish Gypsy be Romani? I think so, but not sure.
I never was much of a DC fan and I must admit that what made me look deeply into the comics, was the Nolan trilogy. No matter what people say, it was fkn wicked. Now, with that in mind, I believe that the comics, with a little twist here and there, could go forward with the cinematic Bane. Just saying.
Such a good actor, the explosions he could make just by using his eyes was amazing 👌
