Finally, How It Should Have Ended have tackled The Dark Knight Rises. I agree with all the plot holes that they point out.

Bane is a plot against Mitt Romney, lol
People, you couldn’t make this up (though someone obviously has). Acording to an article I had a peek at this morning, the character of Bane has been created for The Dark Knight Rises solely for the purpose of further discrediting the Republican candidate for the upcoming US elections. Seriously.
Rush Limbaugh is so convinced of the above, that he’s managed to ignore the trail of Bane that goes back further than Nolan’s film career plus a certain film from the 1990s.
The connections has been “made” due to Romney, once-a-upon-a-time, being a part of an investment fund called Bain Capital. BC doesn’t have a particularly fab past and so bringing up Bane so close to an election seems - to Limbaugh - to be some kind of devious ploy by lefties.
Meanwhile, someone has launched an excellent spoof Twitter account called Bane Capital, from who the above image comes from. They provide such satirical messages as:
Our Chairman’s mask feeds him a steady flow of gas to ease pain from a past injury. Much like the steady flow of taxpayer money to our firm.
Brilliant.

In case you haven’t seen this already.

According to reports from a press conference, The Dark Knight Rises is partially based on A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. Must be all that French Revolution vibe that the Dickens novel has…
The “reveal” came out during a recent press conference where Nolan also suggested that they weren’t so much influenced by current political and economic issues (such as the Occupy Movement), but rather classic social struggles that had been illustrated in literature.
You can read more from the press conference over at Superhero Hype.

So, after yesterday’s post… anymore thoughts on Nolan’s version of Bane?

I am not a number, I am a free man!: Hey f***ers get your s**t straight
^THIS IS BANE
^THIS IS A S****Y ACTOR WITH A SQUID ON HIS FACE
- Bane’s costume for the film is very different from his comic book counterpart who wears a Mexican wrestler’s mask.
- Tom Hardy stands around 5ft9 where Christian Bale is over 6ft. In the comics, Bane towers over Batman…
Err, anyone else as upset as this guy about the differences between the latest film version of Bane (i.e. Christopher Nolan’s interpretation) and his usual comic book set-up?

I cannot stress enough how much I love Empire Magazine.
Might be worth picking up the July issue of Empire for some goodness on The Dark Knight Rises.
