THE NEWS BUNDLE: Your Latest Look at Bane from 'The Dark Knight Rises'


There are many photos from Pittsburgh, the latest shooting location, from The Dark Knight Rises set floating around the internet. But, none are quite as interesting as the one above. All the pictures feature Bane in rather normal attire standing atop a camouflaged Tumbler, with the exception of the long trench coat, but the extremely notable piece of the picture is that the villain is ripping up a picture of the one and only Harvey Dent (Source for the above photo found on Facebook). 

UPDATE: Now, why would Bane tear a picture of Harvey Dent? Perhaps because the prison that Bane is breaking out of is dedicated to Dent's memory:


Now, obviously Dent was a public figure that descended into mayhem, and could Bane use that somehow to orchestrate his rise in Gotham? The other pictures floating around, which you can see after the page break, show the picture from the back, and a more full look at his costume.

Overall, Bane's costume is sort of...unimpressive. In the comics, Bane is this gigantic, brooding hulk of a character, and these don't exactly scream hulking. Consider me skeptical right now.

What do you think of the costume, and the ripped photo? What does it signify? Tell us in the comments below, and gallery of pictures (via Just Jared) after the jump.
