This is BANE

No, not that BANE! This Bane!

So, Tom Hardy as Bane, huh? Looks pretty cool to me. After seeing this, it will be hard for anyone to argue that Hardy doesn't have the look to pull of the man that broke The Bat. I, however, am disappointed with the lack of luchador in his look, and I honestly can't understand why they didn't go full mask with this, unless this is some sort of muzzle-type mask.


But honestly, the picture isn't the most exciting news here. To me, the most exciting part is how this was revealed. The promo picture of Tom Hardy as Bane from the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises was released to the public through viral marketing. If you tweeted the phrase "#thefirerises", your twitter avatar would go into the creation of the above picture, and if anyone remembers the viral marketing campaign from The Dark Knight, then you should know we have a lot more in store.

DC Direct Booth at San Diego Comic Con

Hey guys and gals,

Rich Johnson over at Bleeding Cool posted a video early on Thursday of all of the action figures that DC is currently offering and will be offering soon. I don't think there is too much we haven't seen with the exception of, what appears to be, a much taller version of Alex Ross designs of the Justice League, but there's definitely some cool stuff there.

WARNING: If you get motion sickness, do not watch this video because Rich Johnson doesn't take his time at all shooting these figures and statues, and his camera work leaves much to be desired.
