We’ve been bringing you scans and previews of the latest Bat-centric issue of Entertainment Weekly and this snippet from an interview gives an excellent insight into how actor Tom Hardy is planning to portray the vicious Bane.

Thanks to CBM for finding the quote!

“The Joker didn’t care-he just wanted to see the world burn, and he was a master of chaos and destruction, unscrupulous and crazy. Bane is not that guy. There’s a very meticulous and calculated way about Bane. There is a huge orchestration of organization to his ambition.”

Rises was conceived and written to bring a sense of unity-and finality-to the whole franchise. “It stands alone, yet completes a cyclical work,” says Hardy. “Think triplets instead of one child after another – the Dark Knight triplets.”
