THE DARK KNIGHT RISES’ Prologue Description, Plus Details About Bane?
UPDATE!!! Until confirmed otherwise, take the following with grain of salt
This morning, I received an e-mail from a source that wishes to remain anonymous, he claimed to have seen the upcoming 6-minute prologue of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES’ and he’s also got details on BANE, played in the film by Tom Hardy.
This unnamed source said he guaranteed this validity and so if WB kindly asks me to remove this post, I’ll be more than happy to oblige.
Check out the descriptions below and let me know what you think? Credible or not?…
Bane in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
Nolan has significantly rewrote the story of Bane from the comics. He is raised by Ra’s al Ghul and his up bringing mirrors that of Bruce Wayne. It’s a mirror of Bruce, except it’s darker and twisted. Bane is trained to be an assassin for the League of Shadows. He kills political figures that are deemed unfit by the LOS. So he is a bit of a Che Guevara/ Jason Bourne type character. A revolutionary and an assassin. He comes to Gotham to start a revolution by revealing the cover up dealing with Harvey Dent and killing the Mayor, among other key political figures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE 6-minute PROLOGOUE
It is one of the assassinations ordered by Ra’s al Ghul. A mind blowing action sequence set aboard the Hercules plane, involving some innovative camera work ala Inception hallway fight scene. Bane and his mercenaries hijack a military plane transporting a dictator of a country which is in unrest (think Saddam Hussein type figure). He successfully kills the leader, but makes some mistakes along the way and is unable to safely land the plane. Because of the resulting injuries from the accident, he has to undergo complicated surgeries and that is how he winds up with that scar down his neck and the need for the mask to numb the pain.
Filmed in 3 continents, with more use of IMAX cameras, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, which opens on July 20th, 2012, stars Oscar® winner Christian Bale again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman, Anne Hathaway, as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy, as Bane; Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard, as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as John Blake, Oscar® winner Michael Caine as Alfred; Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman reprises the role of Lucius Fox.
Also starring Brett Cullen, Chris Ellis, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti, Joey King, Josh Stewart, Daniel Sunjata, Diego Klattenhoff and Burn Gorman, Josh Pence, Juno Temple, Nestor Carbonelli, Rob Brown, Alon Aboutboul

This. Sounds. Awesome.
OMG…Summer 2012 Come Already!
I don’t care if the story about the man in the bat costume is political as long as it serves the right interests.
Sounds fake. I cant believe that Nolan would have written out the whole history of the venom drug. Also what about the Lazarus Pit? If Ra’s Al Ghul is alive then the Lazarus Pit would have been used on Bane first on not the Venom.
Whats the point in using Bane as a character if we dont see him bulked up like a steroid beast on venom?!
@Matches Malone…Ra’s is not alive. This is a flashback from before Batman Begins. and in the Empire article they already revealed that he breathes an anesthetic and its not something that increases his size. Nolan can’t use that in his world because its based on our reality.
on our reality? it’s a story that tries to be realistic, ie not bend physics or motivations too much. there’s a difference.
