Hot Toys Bane 2.0 (The Dark Knight Rises)

[Scout Trooper]

a masked head with removable bats squeezing out of the eye & mouth holes

That sounds interesting. Fantastic way of spicing up a scarecrow figure. Have them pouring out of his sleeves as well.

I do love that scene...

Begins is something else. You almost wouldn't think The Dark Knight is directed by the same guy.

Nothing can touch Ledger.
But Begins is the best film in the trilogy.

Calm down, it’s a Hot Toy man.

If he looks 6’4 280+ but is 5’9 likely 200+
Do you really want the figure to look massive next to a fully suited Batman?

I actually like that he wasn’t huge, more endearing.

This scene has stuck with me- even though I’ve probably only watched TDKR twice- and it certainly seems like Bane was being presented as a huge and threatening physical presence.

And it's not even close. I could watch a compilation of Ledgers scenes again and again but as a whole TDK really seems to drag. Begins is as good as it ever was. The best superhero origin film to date.

I kind of wish they never changed his voice. He sounded more intimidating before people started complaining they couldn't understand him.

 

[Scout Trooper]

He sounds borderline comical after the change..

Well yes, the character is supposed to be.

There’s a reason Nolan didn’t just cast a 6’5 actor, he needed someone who could act with only their eyes. He also didn’t want his only attribute to be physical like how he’s more often than not portrayed. This is why he made Bane submissive to Talia. Fans hated giving Bane depth and hated Hardy’s size. He isn’t big, even with how he was shot he’s still smaller than Bale on screen. This 2.0 looks like it’ll be bigger than the new Bale? A camera angle shouldn’t justify cartoon proportions.

The Hot Toys figure looks like a beach inflatable

That’s what everyone wants apparently.

This looks insane to me.

Looks like they gave all the neck to Batman and left nothing for Bane

For maximum accuracy we’ll need this figure to come with high heels.

So we hope to get a height-accurate Frodo by Inart, right?

Calm down, it’s a Hot Toy man.

Thanks for reminding me why Karl Urban is my man-crush.

 

[Scout Trooper]

One of the better Banes I've seen. Not a lot of good ones.

 

[Nick D]

That’s not the same argument, there’s plenty of scenes showing them as hobbits. Not so much of this hulking Bane you wish Nolan would have cast.

 

[xipotec]

Bane was never ment to be some kind of bodybuilder....
Not in the Nolan films anyway. He was a prisoner , and tortured. He was just an average "larger" sized guy.

That's what I loved about Nolan's Bane...The comic book version is basically the Hulk , just dumber,

Alright, this figure better come with accurate blue underpants.....

I’m going to guess you haven’t read a single Batman comic with Bane in it.
