The Dark Knight Rises: Monstrous Bane

Tom Hardy as Bane

I finally decide to go to the movies and see "The Dark Knight Rises" and I must say....I really enjoyed it!

Yes, the movie was a long watch but somehow I managed to sit through it and allowed myself to become capativated with the story and the characters.  I was taken aback at how invested I was in the antagonist Bane.

Many may know Bane from the comics that he was featured and know his backstory.  For those who don't Bane was born in the fictional Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca, in a prison called Peña Dura which translate to "The Hard Rock."  Bane's father had escaped the government and therefore the government decided to punish his son by forcing him to serve his father's sentence.

That's pretty harsh.....and so the government is responsible for this monstrous monster kids!

Though imprisoned, his natural abilities allowed him to develop extraordinary skills within the prison's walls. He read as many books as he could get his hands on, built up his body in the prison's gym, and learned to fight in the merciless school of prison life.  In the movie they give a little information on this but not in full detail.

Anyway Bane is this unstoppable force, at one point I felt like he was coming for me, and he breaks batman and imprisons him in the prison that he grew up in. 

I don't want to spoil the movie but I will see it's worth the watch.  I will also say that Tom Hardy did a great job at playing the role of Monstrous Monster Bane.
