Bane makes sense with Hugo Strange being in it, since he's known for his monster serum, which in this version, I am going to assume is Venom.
I just hope it's not like the comics where it turns those infected into mindless lackeys, as that would take away everything that is great about Bane. |

Was Hugo Strange ever actually confirmed though? There was that rumour that they were following the storyline, and then everyone just assumed that Hardy would be playing him.

Not die but didn't Bane leave him a parapeligic in the comics? And there had to. Be a new Batman?
Maybe something like that happens in the movie? |

I don't think they'll follow Nightfall to that degree, but I'm certain 'a breaking' of some sort will factor into the movie. You can't have Bane and not do something with that. It's like how in every appearance Doomsday made after his debut Superman would be like, "Oh damn, the dude that killed me" or even in another media Doomsday's treated as a force that could put down Superman. When Bane first appeared in Batman: TAS they teased the breaking hard (fuckers).
So while we may not see a Batman movie reboot featuring Jean Paul Valley's crazy-ass, Batman will be put through the ringer here. Me thinks. |

Tom Hardy (Shinzon from Star Trek Nemesis) doesn't seem like the roided up type. They should have picked Batista.

Tom Hardy has already played a huge guy. I'm sure he'll fit the part.

Nolan has gone on record about how this is "the end" and how they were excited to be able to write this as the finale of their Batman story. Unlike comics, things don't need to be left open.
I think all bets are off, really. I'm not saying I think Batman will flat out die, but I think some variation on Bane breaking The Bat is possible. |

Glad to see that they decided to include Catwoman but in the same token I'm not so sure I like the casting choice and as for Hardy I thought he'd be suited better for one of the more cerebral villians.

Bane is a very cerebral villain. Moreso than most any of them.

Yeah, guy flat out deduced Batman's identity on his own. Then manipulated events in gotham to weaken Batman for when he finally did strike.

The character wasn't so bad, it was mainly the costumes. Azreal was alright, but his batman costumes were pretty lousy. The claws? Cool. Everything else? 90's cheese.

Be interesting to see the remaining roles to cast for the movie.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nolan pulls a fly one like he did with Batman Begins and rolls out another villain / plot twist. |

Is it possible that Nolan creates a world where Selina Kyle is strictly her, till she witness Batman getting broke by Bane, and thus she becomes Catwoman to avenge her man, then Bane kills her and Batman gets out of his wheelchair and kills Bane.....LOL I'M NOT EVEN SERIOUS

I think one of the most interesting things, and obviously important parts of this film, is the way in which they redeem Batman after the ending of The Dark Knight.
Will also be very interesting to see how Batman is viewed now by the ordinary citizens of Gotham, the cops, and particularly the villains. |

I hope they just stick to Bane and Catwoman. Two villains is fine, but when you introduce a third, things get complicated and messy. Spider-man 3 is a perfect example.

I do not count the mobsters. They are minor characters that were given very little screen time. They're mobsters. That's all you need to know.
Actual super-villains however, need to be fleshed out a little more. Trying to do three at once can be problematic. |

Spider-man 3 was atrocious. But it has to be remembered, Sam Raimi had to deal with constant studio interference and it is alleged he was never happy with the script, a rushed production schedule and the choice of Venom as the villain.
Which was a shame, as the first, and particularly the second, Spider-man films were great entertainment. I don't think Christopher Nolan will suffer that same interference from Warner Brothers. |

Bane as a main villian already in the shit with Batman when the film starts would be cool. THen Catwoman comes along, and plays the tweener. In the end, Bane loses, and Catwoman seems to be a hero, only to disappear or pull some shit to go back to a wild card, that would be cool.

Batman should gets brutally beaten by Bane, and then Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who is rumored to be in the film as well) comes in as the new Batman to kill Bane and take up the mantle of Batman while Bruce is in a wheelchair.
The film would end with everyone from the police to the gangsters to the villains all believing that Batman is unkillable, undestroyable, and that he will always stand as a mark for those fighting for good in Gotham City. |
