Although I definitely don't agree with all of your post, the part I left in the spoiler tags above is pretty spot on in therms of the problem I'm having with the film.


Where's intothevoid? I need him to tell me why I'm wrong.

See below

I'm not sure if posting stuff about the film in a thread like this is a good idea, but whatever.

Spoiler:

Bane wasn't a puppet, he was the instigator. He even says "I am the league of shadows!" Talia may have been a big part of the plan, but I feel Bane is the one who really wanted to pull it off. He had so much respect for Ras and the league's beliefs/ideas as you could probably tell in the film.

Bane needed someone to infiltrate Wayne enterprises, by using Wayne's heart Talia was able to do so. To me, Bane WAS the mastermind behind it all. Talia was the follower, despite the last scene. I think people assume that since Talia was Ras' daughter she is automatically the leader. Who knows, to me it sounded like Bane stepped forward and took control of the LOS after Ras died, not Talia. I think Bane had the respect to take orders from her, just because of the respect he had for her father.

Spoiler:

You should read 'Bane of the Demon' graphic novel. A lot of it appears to be inspired by that. It really feels like the relationships between Ra's/Bane/Talia are along similar lines

Spoiler:

I didn't get the feeling Bane was a puppet. It was his show. It was his plan. He broke the Bat and nearly brought down Gotham. Talia was his insider -- she got him the technology, spied on Wayne, etc. -- but Bane was running the League of Shadows. She was running some corporation. He was the general; it was his war.

Bane looked bad ass breaking a man's throat.

He didn't even look at him while he did it. That was cold.

There is a difference between how one would act to a crooked business man and the person you raised and cared for as a child (plus had already taken one ass-beating for)

Saw the film again today and it just keeps getting better with repeat viewings. I also got to see the costumes in person and though the figure is by no means perfect, the colour of the pants and the straps are very close to the HT figure. I'm definitely going to pick this up now, but I want Catwoman first.

I appreciate the feedback guys. That does help. I'll keep that in mind on future viewings. Now I'll take the discussion to the movie thread.

This debate on the film is, as far as im concerned, generally two stubborn groups of people. cynics who wanted to hate the film to begin with because of the pedestal they put TDK on, and Nolan fanboys who claim every next film of his to be the greatest of all time.

honestly, in my humble opinion, if you didnt like TDKR, you simply don't like the nolan trilogy, which is perfectly fine. I just find it hard to see how one could enjoy begins and dark knight, and not this one. Comparing one villain to another is just kind of a pointless debate to me. all 3 were fantastic in their own way. Id say overall, TDK is probably the strongest of the trilogy, but I for one am entirely satisfied, thrilled even, by the third installment and say all batman fans should count themselves lucky for such an incredible film trilogy exisiting. Just remember where we were 10 years ago people!

Definitely agreed.

Allright keep it on topic folks - deleted the last page a bit on nonsense

I was looking at pictures. Like everyone else says, Bane looks small here:

But he looks fine, at least in the arms, here:

After seeing that, the only thing I'd like changed is the vest. I'm happy with everything else.

Well to me he doesn't look anywhere near fine in either of those pics

I meant body-wise. Outfit has problems, I know, but I still don't see the complaint about him needed to be a lot bigger.

Despite small issues OVERALL the figure looks spectacular to me....that sculpt is spot on

Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

I'm not really strict with outfits since I tend to not even notice the minor differences unless I have a source material to compare with directly (and even then I am not going to lose much sleep over some lame straps here or miscolored pants and such). I mean you guys act like he is in a beautiful Chinese robe or something. This is just some cargo pants, a weird vest, and a big old jacket. It's important for the Joker figures to be perfectly accurate, but here once he has the jacket on things seem to work out.

My issue is more with the body though. It just doesn't look bulky to me. Part of it is the filming techniques, but Bane really seems quite hulkish in the film. Seeing the pictures of his figures without his jacket on makes it look like he doesn't even fit into his clothes. They look huge on him. You don't see that as much with the coat on, but without it he almost looks laughable, especially in the picture with him holding his arms out really wide.

What is the difference? Why is Bane's outfit okay, but Joker has to be perfect?

I mean, don't get me wrong... I think they should both be perfect. For how much these cost, we are allowed to demand perfection. HT will not make things perfect until people stop buying them, and that will never happen until some real competition comes along and forces them to step up their game. Competition is healthy, unfortunately, there isn't any.

Bane is the end all ultimate Batman villain, better in almost every regard than Batman himself. I loved the film.

Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

This isn't rhetoric, I really wanna know what you guys think: wouldn't he look too bulky with the coat on if he had a larger body? The colors aside, the coat seems to be made from a nice and thick material, so I'm of the opinion that a bigger body would make the coat-on-look weird. I say this because even thin cloth can look huge on a 1/6 scale figure, as most of the 1/6 colthes actually look.
