New pics of Tom Hardy as Bane on the set of "The Dark Knight Rise

http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/07/30/tom-hardy-on-set-as-bane-for-the-dark-knight-rises/

It's hard to fully analyze without at least some context, but I do really like where they are going with the character. I absolutely love the jacket.

That looks pretty awesome.

The Pink Shirt looks really good.

Am I the only person who hates the jacket? Maybe I need to see it in context, but the jacket's not doing a lot for me.

I'm digging it. Must be hot as hell wearing all of that in sunny weather though.

I absolutely can not wait till July 2012 for this movie.

That's the Bane we deserve, but not the one we need right now.

@tfsteefs: Nice troll attempt.

can't wait and where can I get a pick shirt like that

It's like he's staring into the cameraman's soul...

@tfsteefs: Nice trolling right there.

Also I'm a bit meh. Its not as instantly awesome as the costume for the joker or even Scarecrow. But perhaps with context its fucking cool.

no, I agree. I need to see it in context though. Same with the idea of bane being so small, but I like what Christopher Nolan generally does with the characters so I can't say I'm not excited for the movie even if it seems kind of odd right now.

He doesn't look ripped enough for me, but its an interesting choice of costume.

Looks as acceptably lame as all other Batman villains.

Nah. Nolan is a bad director.

Only in your minority opinion. There is a difference between opinion and fact.

Insert comment about how shitty Nolan and his Batman movies are or start to criticize the costume without any story context.

Beefy.

Lol at people calling Nolan a bad director. Really people, why does it feel cool to go against the norm? Just accept that, for once, something that is popular is also good.

This thread taught me that the UnFollow button actually does work! Awesome!

He looks creepy as fuck! This is going to be awesome :D

Contrarians : you can´t have forum thread without them

Looks pretty 'meh' to be honest.

I am usually behind the Nolan Universe Batman villains, but he looks kinda goofy.

it needs more steroids man. i hope that is just a part where he doesn't have a steroids.

Looks silly, sure, but it beats the hell out of his luchador mask. 

I had thought this would be a photoshop of Rise as Batman :( someone do this please

its now rated R for the S&M scenes of Bats&Bane going at it?

He doesn't scream Bane to me, if you were to show this picture to someone who knew who bane was and without hints I doubt they would think it was bane. It just looks like any other guy except he has what I can only describe as a gag over his mouth.

Why would anybody want to watch the sequel to Dark Knight, it was ridiculously awful

Wouldn't say it was awful, I definitely wasn't a huge fan of it.

The Dark Knight Rises: Mad Max Edition

I'm sure it will all make sense and look good once the movie is out, but man his costume looks weird. I wonder how they'll explain the mask and all that.

I think it looks cool too though, that jacket is pretty pimp.

Looks like a smart fellow

More set photos are being leaked and they are more than I can handle, I am going to have to start ignoring threads like these because shit....the pictures show a lot :(

That jacket makes him look scrawny

If at some point he tosses off the jacket and has arms as big around as Batman's head, I'll be okay with it.  As is, he just doesn't look like himself.

That is atrocious and doesn't look a thing like bane. Boo on them.

I still think the mask looks pretty silly.

Looks alright.

Looks good for the Dark Knight-style that Nolan has adopted. Darker and grittier. Nobody complained about the Joker having a 'Glasgow Smile', long green/yellow hair and being generally un-Jokerish.  
 
I'll say be thankful that we don't get a reprisal of the previous Bane from Batman & Robin.

Nothing says dark and gritty like the most popped collar of all time.

He looked a lot bigger in the teaser picture.

That was exactly what I was thinking. Probably won't make me enjoy this movie any less but he just looks... weird

Bane is great for the comics, but I never want to see his comic book self realized in a film again. His costume is stupid in the comics, but it works. In film it looks stupid and doesn't work.

Then again, Batman's costume also looks cheap and tacky in those shots - I'm sure the actual editing/colour correction that's bound to take place post filming will alleviate a lot of that. Nolan has yet to go wrong with his take on Batman, at least in my eyes, so I have faith.

there are plenty of videos and pics on this site , apparently Bane will have 3 tumblers! so excited for the movie, can't wait for it!
