When cast, Hardy was definitely smaller than the size of the comic book-drawn Bane, so the first organic step to get him to look like the DC character was to hit the gym. Indeed, Hardy started off by going to the gym three times a day. In an interview with BBC Radio 1, Hardy said that whilst exercising, he also "ate lots of pizza." Unlike some stor...
For his portrayal of Bane, Hardy created a unique voice for the character, which may just be the most iconic aspects of his performance. With infamous lines such as "I am Gotham's Reckoning" and "You think darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted it. I was born in it, molded by it", The Dark Knight Risesgave fans things to say as they tried to...
As anyone would expect from a Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises features several fight sequences. Bane and the caped crusader himself engage in two big showdowns, both of which display the sheer strength and fighting ability of both parties.

This meant familiarizing himself with the source material. Luckily, he was already a massive Batman fan, having read many of the comic books as a young kid.

Hardy has appeared in three Christopher Nolan films: Inception (2010), The Dark Knight Rises (2012) as Bane, and Dunkirk (2017). He has since starred as the title character in the 2018 film Venom and its 2021 sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
Hardy rejoined Christopher Nolan for The Dark Knight Rises (2012); he played the villain role of Bane opposite Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gary Oldman. Hardy's menacing physique and his character's scrambled, hard-to-distinguish voice became a major discussion point as the film was released.
The film stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne / Batman, alongside Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Morgan Freeman, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Michael Caine. Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, the terrorist Bane forces Wayne to resume his role as Batman and save Gotham City from nuclear destruction.
