Tom Hardy as Bane: Full Costume!

[AJM]

It looks pretty silly to me, to be honest.

UPDATE: Here he is:



. . . although the picture at the above link is much better, but it's in Flash.

I'm far more interested in the fact he's standing on a new, camouflaged Tumbler.

UPDATE: It's a different kind of Tumbler!

[BloodOps]

Definitely different.

I'm sure he'll be fighting in the classic black tank top though, though it does look different.

In Nolan we trust though.

[The Batman]

It looks functional enough, I guess. The mask though, doesn't work for me. I was kinda hoping for a new look to the Batmobile. I wonder, how many tumbler prototypes were out there.

[thwhtGuardian]

Eh, doesn't look any sillier than any other unlit superhero costume to me, I'm sure it'll look fine on film.

[FHIZ]

I like what I see. As long as the jacket isn't permanent, whatever.

[AJM]

He's definitely got a League Of Shadows look to him. And you know why he's got a different kind of camouflage Tumbler? Because Talia Al Ghul works at Wayne Enterprises, that's why . . .

. . . maybe.

Definitely--I mean, Batman's costumes in the past two movies looked weird in places during candid shots, and yet I didn't mind them at all in the movie. I'm sure Bane will be similar.

I'm still betting Inception lady, whatever her name is, is Talia, especially with Liam Neilson doing something for the movie.

Yeah, i think it's all part of bringing Bruce down, attacking from without and within. The early rumours were Bane & Talia vs. Bruce & – by the end – Selina, which sounds pretty perfect to me.

(Don't know who this Liam Neilson is though! Ha.)

[Kate Fatale]

I actually like it. The pic doesn't seem to do it justice since it will look different on film and in professional promotional photos, but I think it's a good base. I like the mask, but I might be in the minority there.

I still believe this, too. Didn't fall for it last time, Nolan, and I'm not falling for it this time either. I fully intend on embarrassing myself and whoever is unfortunate enough to be with me when it comes out by cheering when her identity is revealed.

Er, ah, what's with the desert camo? Somehow I don't think that would fool anyone in Gotham City...

Is part of the movie set in the desert? And does anyone think that even with that camo, no one would notice that thing rumbling down a barren desert?

As for Bane, that just looks like the jackets they wear between takes when they've got funny costumes on...Don't think it's part of the outfit.

Definitely--I'm thinking that, to a certain degree, Bane is going to be a dark mirror of sorts to Bruce, what would have happened if Bruce decided to take Ra's offer to joing the League of Shadows.

Anyone see these? Bane is ripping up a photo of HARVEY DENT:








It looks like the one used at Dent's funeral:






I wonder what this means? Does Bane find out what Dent did as Two Face and expose it all? Maybe open that whole can of worms for the cover up Batman and Gordon did on Two Face.

Yeah, when it's cold out. It's been f'ing terrible this summer over on the east coast heat wise.

In Batman Begins, the Tumbler was in desert camo originally before Batman made it black. Bane must have gotten his hands on an original model.

The costume... well, it's not really a costume, other than the mask. Looks like he's wearing some armor, which makes sense since this Batman does, and he can't seem more vulnerable than Batman. Still not digging the mask, it just doesn't scream "Bane" to me, but whatever. As long as the character is done well.

Tearing up of the Dent photo is interesting. I imagine Bane would be the guy to figure out what really happened to Harvey Dent.
