I think like any character, boil him down to his bare essentials.

He isn't unhumanely strong (when not on the juice) so you just need a really muscular build

Which I think Hardy can pull off.

Make him a mob or police enforcer/hired gun, which again fits in with the Nolanverse and wouldn't stray too far from the source.

The real problem is how they deal with venom, which I can see being a drug of sort that kind of gives him an adrenaline boost.

Bane's a sweetiepie.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

With the cash-in title, and the history of trequels in general (especially comic book ones), I am already dumbing down my expectations. I know Nolan has yet to make a bad movie, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I just wonder where you go with this franchise after making two exceptionally above-average films that happen to be centered around a comic book superhero.

I'm curious, btw, to see if Maggie Gyllenhaal makes an appearance. I had heard from word of mouth that she had a contract for two Batman movies with Nolan. And her body/death was never really confirmed in The Dark Knight. That....could be interesting?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

There's no way she ISN'T dead, if she does make an appearance it is probably to haunt Bruce in his dreams or something.

Joseph Gordon Levitt added...I like him a lot as an actor...who will he play?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Hmmm....Riddler?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

More precisely Edward Nigma, to set him up for the next film? Or dare I say............................ ROBIN!

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

I don't see him playing another villain and Nolan has claimed this is his last Batman film so I don't see him setting up a future villain.

I have him playing either a new DA (Gotham always seems to run low on them) or a new member of the mob (perhaps a Falcone successor)

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

And I was right!

JGL is playing Alberto Falcone in The Dark Knight Rises!

Bane

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Needs to be more lunchador, less Sub-Zero.

I'm more interested in that thing in the shadows. Is that an eye or a camera?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

I think they've consolidated the venom delivery system with the mask which is why it looks less luchadory.
