BANE, The Dark Knight Rises

The conclusions to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy had its flaws, but no amount of plot holes could mask (get it?) the sheer screen presence and sartorial menace that Tom Hardy’s Bane brought to the screen. Between his epically badass shearing coat—inspired, believe it or not, by the Swedish army—to his custom Belstaff jacket, Bane brought the rough-and-tumble style of real-life mercenaries to supervillain levels. And as to whether you can match the hulking man-crusher swagger, well, you have our permission to try.

 

“Crane is not a good guy. I think it comes from serious, deep issues from a very young age. I think he’s got a serious inferiority complex, although he’s brilliant at the same time. And the Scarecrow incarnation—well, aren’t all of these villains a little whacked out? I think it’s much more interesting when there’s a distinction between the two sides of the character because when you put on a mask you want to justify it. The freedom the mask allows someone is to live all those fantasies in your head, good or bad, without revealing yourself.”
