Tom Hardy discusses Bane in The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark Knight Rises is easily shaping up to be this summer's movie to beat at the box office, when it hits theaters July 20. Actor Tom Hardy joins Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise as the villain Bane, a character he described as, "brutal and heavy-handed." The actor also spoke about the bizarre mask he has to wear in this action sequel.

"Bane's mask is tight, actually. I got used to it, but you get used to anything really, in time."


The actor also talked about being comfortable playing such a dark character like Bane.

"I didn't get into a dark place at all. A lot of dark characters are easy to have distance from, it's something I feel comfortable with, I suppose."


The Dark Knight Rises comes to theaters July 20th, 2012 and stars Liam Neeson, Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Aidan Gillen, Marion Cotillard. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan.

    The way tom hardy explains about how he gets use to wearing the mask is very similar to Christian Bale explaining how he got used to wearing the bat suit and I loved the way he said that he had embrace it and the more you wear the suit the more you get accustomed to it because you are batman and you have to accept it.

    @thedude1 How many people do you think will be trying to get their hands on one this year for Halloween? You get the mask, you've pretty much made the Bane costume.
