    Love Anne Hathaway in this. And generally.

    Bane #2, and he couldn't be any different!

    There's a mirror to the Keaton/Pheiffer ball scene, but think the '92 scene is better.

      Got to agree. That 92 scene is a series highlight for me.

    "Urban pacification"? Heavily armoured, loaded with artillery.

    Pacification?!

    Few more Batman-led gags in this one.

    Curious whether Bane's voice was a construction of Hardy's, or whether Nolan always had it in mind. I like it, but surely it was a risk.

    The diversity of Nolan's casts is marvellous.

    He's in an indian prison with Tom Conti, for God's sake. Just brilliant.

    They never say what Bane's mask has in it, venom probably being a stretch too far for the realism, but the lack of control and speed when it gets damaged is a clever nod.
