For those unfamiliar with Batman history, Bane is a villain with unparalleled strength and intelligence. Depending on the artist that is drawing the comic, he has been drawn between 6 and a half to 8 foot tall and 350 to 500 pounds. All muscle. Bane is famous for "breaking the bat". He broke Batman's spine and made him a paraplegic. Is this how Christopher Nolan is going to end the Dark Night trilogy? It will be interesting to find out.
Nolan is not a fan of CGI, so I imagine Mr. Hardy is in a gym as we speak trying to gain some mass. He has done it before. In 2007, to play notorious UK criminal and prisoner Charles Bronson , he bulked up so much he became almost unrecognizable. The film was praised worldwide by critics, but flopped at the box office. (I've had it in my Instant Netflix queue for a month, but haven't gotten around to see it yet.)
The Dark Knight Rises is set to be released next summer. Oh, and Anne Hathaway was cast as Catwoman.
