The more I look at this figure (and TDKR screenshots for that matter), the more convinced I am that simply put Nolan's Bane design is awesome. The agressive, rough, neo-natzi look and men-breaker phisique. The militaristic pants and outfit. The awesome leather coat. The metal archnid attached to his face, looking like some kind of hellish, heavy-metal muzzle. This guys just looks Boss. And so does the figure, despite some inaccuracies.

I've pre-ordered a lot of stuff this year, but I think 1/6th Bane is becoming the most anticipated piece. So envious of all those who got their hands on this bad boy early.

I always like the actual design of him. What else could they really do with Bane in a semi-realistic and very serious Batman world? Would have been silly seeing a guy run around in a wrestler mask and tights. I wasnt surprised at all to see Nolan go the military route.

Main issue I had with Bane is when I watch TDKR, I just dont find him to be an interesting character at all. He's really just a guy carrying out a mission. I dont feel any connection there, no emotion at all, just nothing at all. He's just eyes walking around with an overdubbed voice thats louder than everyone else in the movie. Really odd to me. Much different with the Joker. There was real tension there with him. Wondering about what he would do, what his end game was. With Bane, I dont know, it was just way too linear for me.

I cant wait to get the figure because I just think he looks pretty cool, but as far as the character in the actual movie, dont care about him.

i never liked bane in the comics. nolan made him scary and real for me.

and actually, i felt very emotionally attached to him by the end of the film, which i totally did not expect.

Time to repost!

This pretty much says it all. The problem is that people care more about appearance than what's real and practical. This augrement goes back to the way that Nolan's Batman fights.

Nolans batman doesnt fight realistic.. c'mon.

Bruce Lee is more realistic than Nolans Batman. Anyone taking those hits Batman deals out to Bane with his bare hands in the first fight would have been gone to the ground, or at least trembling. I don't mind it ofcourse, because it's batman, and you dont take it seriously. If you do, well, try it in real life, see how wel Batman's tactics work.

So are you saying that Bruce Lee is not realistic? Bruce Lee's training and fighting style is just about as real as it gets. What you see in his movies is all show. Well of course they would, a real fight would never last that long. The style that Batman's fighting was based on is very much real and idea behind theatricality and deception could work very well too.

eh...not so much.

when they announced bane as the villain in tdkr, i was pretty nonplussed on account of renditions like that. but i was unimpressed with the first trailers of the joker in tdk too, so i was willing to trust nolan.

and he did not disappoint. this is the bane for me.

Naa I think this is the best bane.

yeahhhhh.

I'm saying bruce lee made movies, bruce lee is actually one of the only fighters I find believable in cinema, which is what I was trying to say, Nolan's Batman ain't Bruce lee. And Nolan's Batman is FAR from realistic. It's amusing ofcourse, but anyone that thinks an unarmed man in a bodysuit is capable of dishing out the pain to armed thugs is an *****. Which is what Nolan does very well, he uses movie magic to make you think what you're seeing could be done.

All I know is Bale was throwing a hell of a lot of sloppy *** hooks. Didn't look like much of a martial artist to me. The fight scenes seemed brainless. I mean Bane's style is pretty cut and dry, destroy what you hit. I expected more from Batman.

We were discussing this a few weeks ago. There's no buildup to how Batman defeats Bane. Batman is aiming for the chin in the first fight as well, and he's punching like he can destroy Bane. Bane says "You fight like a younger man...blah blah."So to me it actually made sense that Batman was totally using a bad strategy. What doesn't make sense is how he showed up at the end and basically tried to do the same thing. I mean, what did Wayne expect to be different this time around? We didn't see anything to give us a clue into his thought process except to go toe-2-toe with Bane again. I guess he had fear again which made him faster and stronger. This is said in the movie but not really represented in the fight, which is why I think the second fight fell well short.

But they spent too much time on other stuff to dwell on how Batman was actually going to beat him. "He hit the mask"." Okay...great.

Edit: Not to mention the whole time they were doing the second fight, I was still trying to wrap my head around the cops vs mercs running at each other and punching instead of the mercs just mowing everyone down in that street.

I disagree with You strongly on this one. I allready disqussed in different thread, why Bane is awesome as hell, so Ill just paste my old posts about the bald fella.

Nolan's take on Bane, blows the comic book potrayals out of the water. Bane in TDKR is a terrifying fanatic. The very epitome of a super-villain terrorist and a walking juggernaut, not just physicaly. Whereas the comic version was simply a big, overmuscled, hairy wannabe-luchador, Hardy's version is a real menace. Tom doesn't need caricatural frame, to be imposing. The guy oozes voilence and fanatical conviction. He is not steroid-huge, but he doesn't need it, just one look and You know he means buisness. There is an aura of constant physical threat and utter ruthlessness about the guy(which I believe is far more in essence of the character, than just grotesquely huge musculature). Even his somewhat underdeveloped, rough physique attests to that. Hardy looks like a real thick-necked brute, not a clean-cut male model. There is even a promise of danger in the very way he moves, always walking, never running. Like a guy that knows what he is capable of and doesn't need to show off. Unlike Joker who prefered chaos, Bane has specific, ambitious plans for Gotham and is going to force them with practical, surgical violence and carnage. Bane in TDKR is someone who despite his great intelect, is nonetheless driven by some misguided and pathetic beliefs, that he is trying to force upon the world at gun-point. I believe its a great theme and awesome take on the character. Joker was a lunatic anarchist, Bane truly is a dangerous, driven "über-fanatic". A mix between a neo-natzi militant and a romantic revolutionary. Hardy also brings a certain subtlety to the role. His eyes show intellect, his over-the-top, out-of-place voice brings a creepy quality to him. You can even see it in the way he handles and kills people. The scene where he murders Dagget is chilling. First he lightly places the side of his hand on Dagget shoulder, then touches him delicately, almost carresing him, finally he slowly grabs him by the face and breaks him.

Comic book movies needed a character like this. Every superhero movie is filled with ridiculous, flashy villans that are either unintentionaly silly, or simply bland. Bane works almost like the classical movie mosters, dominating every frame, while being interesting and terrifying at the same time.

Bane was a fantastic villain, that had little to do with Ras. He was a ****ed up fashist with a twisted world view. A pontificating fanatic, who was convinced he was the only sane and rightious man, among a filthy, degenerated world. He wanted to show everyone the truth of his beliefs. To show the world that what he talked about society and people is right. When he said "the city is yours", he tought he was making a valid point about human nature (very similar to what Joker was saying) and behaviour when "the shackles of society" are gone. Of course it was all Bull **** really. He was wrong, becouse he wasn't truly setting people free (not really). Gotham wasn't free, it was under a boot of a ****ed up, crazy warlord, wtih criminals running amok, it sure as hell wasn't a place were representative human nature shows through. But as with any fanatic, Bane actions just warped the world to fit and match his twisted, little worldview. He tought the rioting masses and the likes of Crane, represented true human behaviour, but it really didn't. He also didn't care for his own life. He was ready to go out with a bang (literally), and make Gotham his epitaph, his tombstone. Just as real life terrorists and "freedom fighters", blow themselves the **** up, just to futilely prove some point, or shout some fanatical bull**** to the world, so too did Bane, but on a larger, comic, supervillain scale.

So yeah I love movie Bane more than any other. I think Nolan squeezed more out of this character than the comic original ever did. Plus as was mentioned before, he looks absolutely dope. So I can't wait for the figure for two reasons. One - couse I love the movie interpretation of the character. Two - couse the figure looks boss in that ****ing coat and will dominate the shelf
