After almost endless speculation and theorizing its finally been officially announced that Tom Hardy will portray Bane in Christopher Nolan's eagerly anticipated Dark Knight sequel. Bane was always one of my favorite batman villains and one that I certainly never thought would be done proper justice on the big screen. Bane for all the non comic fans out there is a Hispanic super mercenary who given inhuman super strength by the fictional drug venom(Not to be confused with the spider-man villain of the same name).
Bane's biggest claim to fame in of course in his first comic appearance actually breaking batman's back and taking him out of commission for a good long while. Only time will tell how exactly Nolan plans to update and adapt Bane to his movie universe or what part he will play in the greater plot involving Catwomen( Ann Hathway). But I'm personal just glad to see a favorite of mine in the lime light.
