    Exactly my thoughts. Especially since we can't even see the whole mask. People are saying they hate the mask when they haven't really seen it yet.

    I'm more intrigued by his head, anyhow. Is it me, or are those burns or something on his head? Hard to tell with the lighting.

    As someone who has shaven his own head in the past, and has a film degree, I'd say that his head looks pretty normal to me. He's possibly raising his eyebrow slightly, causing the wrinkles and veins to be more pronounced. You'd be surprised how lumpy the average person's scalp is. Especially when you look at it with such high contrast lighting.

    I think people are forgetting that it wasn't even a given that he would even have a mask or be muscular at all. Beside the point, they just started filming so it'll probably be tweaked a little.

    Tom Hardy has the look but he is not nearly BIG enough.  I guess we are stuck with him.  

    For a better Bane, I think they HAVE to look to the WWE.  No I'm not kidding.  I don't know who though, I am not a WWE fan.  I'm not a hater, just not familiar.  Could the Rock do Bane?  I think I like it.

    @B'Town: The only problem with some one like this playing bane is the quality of the acting

    @spiderbat87:Agreed, they would have to search high and low through the wrestlers to find one that could act and come off as odd but intelligent, Bane is no dummy.

    I think it looks alright, I'm not too keen on the mask, I honestly wasn't expecting him to have a mask in the movie.

    I think he looks intimidating. Definitely a worthy opponent for the Bat. Can't wait for the trailer.

    well it's kinda normal right now but we'll see when it comes to the movie, do not hesitate people everything changes from pictures to the actual movie, but for me looks good and nicely done, it'll be even better i'm quite sure of that!

    Curious to see if they will change, modify, or keep it that way or give him another suit in the later act.

    I don't like the mask at all, though I understand it could be only an initial promo idea.  It looks like a cross of a face hugger from Aliens on the front while looking like a Mortal Kombat set piece on the back.  Not impressed at all.  Way too early to be disappointed/encouraged though.

    Does anyone know if Bane in the nolanverse is going to be Hispanic? Because I think it would be sort of weird to have Tom Hardy sound puerto rican....I highly approve of him as Bane though!!!!

    Doesn't look right to me.  It's hard to see Bane without his executioner mask.  (It's only a luchadore mask when they stupidly show his eyes and mouth)
