Viral Poster for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
The Dark Knight Rises - Official Trailer #3 [HD] (by WarnerBrosPictures)
It’s really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne’s story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after The Dark Knight. So he’s an older Bruce Wayne; he’s not in a great state.

Three Scans of The Dark Knight Rises Story in EMPIRE gives us a pretty cool look at Bane and Batman!
Christopher Nolan on Bane in The Dark Knight Rises -
“He’s brutal. Brutal. He’s a big dude who’s incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result-based and oriented fighting style. It’s not about fighting. It’s about carnage. The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it’s nasty. Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action.”
He also went on to say this about the look of Bane -
“He was injured early in his story. he’s suffering from pain and needs gas to survive. He can’t survive the pain without the mask. The pipes from the mask go back along his jawline and feed into the thing at his back, where there are two cannisters.”
