Even just going by a few clips, images, and trailers, there’s obviously a rather distinct difference between how Christopher Nolan is using the Bane character in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ and how Joel Schumacher used him in ‘Batman and Robin’. One thing that’s been a source of curiosity in terms of Nolan’s version is how Bane’s mask/use of venom is going to be incorporated. I’ll admit that there’s potential for this come off silly, but between Nolan and Tom Hardy, I’m confident they can pull it off. Rolling Stone Magazine (via Collider here) has an image of Bane with his costume explained, including the mask, and you can see it after the jump. I’m sold personally, but you can decide for yourself below…

Very cool. The only thing I wish Nolan would do is stopping Christian Bale from doing the Batman voice. It sounds ridiculous. Not worried about anything else coming off as silly.

I have no real issue with the voice, but I can totally understand those who do…

What kind of a performance could we expect from Tom Hardy with that mask on?

Hardy and Nolan are talented enough to figure it out, but I’m definitely curious to see how they pull it off…

I though it was an “unstoppable” force meeting an immovable object?
