Tom Hardy, who stars as baddie Bane in the new Batman flick, has been a little cool on the whole project talking about its likeness to Starbucks and bleating something about ’boutiques’.? However, he seems to be relenting a bit after making an admission about his character.
He recently admitted that he thought his character in The Dark Knight Rises was ‘f*cking cool’.
Hardy also added, with no specific, pin-pointable accent, that Batfans would not be disappointed by the third and final installment of this particular wing of the franchise. And to get you a little more exited, there’s a couple of videos where you can see them in action having a big punch up.
Hardy says:
“All I can say is that Chris (Nolan) has a plan up his sleeve that’s not at all disappointing. And that is a definite choice that’s watertight in every respect”
“I think Bane’s f*cking cool so I’m really excited to play him. It’s not the guy in Joel Schumacher’s film, but it shouldn’t disappoint fanboys.”
We’re sure that Batfans will find something to be disappointed with, whereas us popcorn munchers can thrill at this new breed of socially acceptable action films that have just enough edge to be cool enough to like.
Of course, The Dark Knight Rises will be released July 20, 2012… and here are those videos we promised. There’s shot of Batman on set as well as a gigantic punch-up… we can only imagine what is going on.
There’s not a KAPOW! in sight, sadly.
BATMAN ON SET
