The Blot’s shocked that Bane is featured so prominently in The Dark Knight Rises’ advertising campaign. I should have realized when Warner Bros. unveiled his new look so early on that they would be using him a lot, but we’ve seen more of Tom Hardy’s Bane than we have Christian Bale’s Batman. And here I thought Bane was more of a secondary villain. It looks like we might have a reenactment of DC's “breaking of the bat” in this film after all!
The Dark Knight Rises premieres on July 20, 2012.
