I don't see that. The Joker had obvious changes but he really captured the character. For example The scene in which joker has Rachel and Batman say "let her go" then joker drops her out a window. that completely fits who the joker is. Joker, sure had somethings that needed changing to adapt to the movie but he was still fitting to the character of the joker. Where as the changes to bane changes him completely. The only similarity they could make is his intelligence and his "need" to prove himself superior to the bat. To take a completely "mental" type of character(The Joker)who has no powers and bring him down to realism is always going to be easier because he didn't have "powers" to dub down.

Well your example comes from the actual movie, which Bane doesn't have the advantage of as of yet. I said 'you could have said that'. And IIRC alot of people did when they saw Ledger before the movie came out. Even then he didn't use gadgets, he didn't have Harley, he didn't have bleached skin, etc. But he was still fantastic.

Basically, don't write Bane off before you actually see the movie. Keep an open mind at the least.

This is looking like it's going to be the greatest live-action Dark Knight Rises film ever.

Bane's mask in that pic looks pure fail though.

Honestly, what more similarities do they really need than that? Some of the differences you listed are hardly even worthy of mention or are just real subtle/trivial in comparison IMO, like Bane being British. I mean as long as he still gives the Batman a good fight throughout the movie (especially if he breaks him at some point), I can't really complain much about what differences he may have in strength from his comic incarnate.

well the biggest problem is that bane will no longer be "super powered"(to our knowledge). I understand batmans rouges are all pretty super powered and hard to adapt to realism but why can't they push the bounds a bit? I wouldn't have as much problem if bane was at least taking a steroid of his own creation that he calls venom and puts him in the strong man weight class. why could this not happen? I mean look at the fear gas from begins. Like i said earlier im sure it will be a great movie but not a great "comicbook movie". Im not as anal as some people but even if your re telling a character you should keep them attached to the source material in some way other then just his name. Being British bothers me because it a change in his ethnicity. Same as me not liking the idea of spiderman not being white in his movie. Im sure it would be fine and not actually change the character but why is it so hard to stick to something so simple?

Indeed you are right a lot of people was worried about the joker myself included. I however enjoyed the way he looked it was the fact that i didn't think ledger could play him and he blew my mind! I didn't expect harley in the movie and i was hoping for gadgets. As for the skin the make up worked because i knew it wasn't "real" enough to have him fall into a vat of chemicals but i did hope for more then chemicals. Basically im saying i love the first 2 and i understand the Nolanverse means realism but it's a movie it's not like they didn't push the bounds a little with everything else(in the first two) why not now....why make some of those un-needed changes. Now to close I just want to reiterate im not complaining im just worried.

It's a better design than the comics or Batman & Robin (movie) or the cartoons as well.

Hint hint...In order to defeat Bane...PULL THE TUBING!!!! 😉

saw the trailer attached to Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows..

this movie is gonna rock from beginning to end.. I hate to say it but I think Chris Nolan may have out done himself

Does he talk with the raspy, over-the-top Batman voice a lot??! Does he, does he?! 😱

I think out of Adam West, Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney...Bale at least tries to morph his vocals to separate from Wayne & Batman.

i never had a problem with Bale's Bat voice.. its a whole lot better than previous film versions

agreed

Yeah, I liked the voice in Begins (though it was still fun to make fun of), but they really over-did it in The Dark Knight, so much so that it really became a joke.

I'm going to see the movie regardless, but it wasn't a very good trailer. We saw more Selina Kyle than we did Bane.

I don't want them to reveal too much in the trailers. It was enough to keep me excited and give me a taste without feeling like too much was revealed. I hope the next trailers are the same way.

If you're gonna see the movie anyway, why watch the trailers at all? Shit, for Prometheus I'm probably not gonna watch the trailer (if I can muster enough will-power to resist). I'd rather not have ANYTHING spoiled.. nothing at all. For this I don't really care too much. I'll probably take a peak at a trailer or two.

Why wait for the trailer when you can watch it now, bitches.

Watched it, can't wait for the movie to come out. Shit is gonna get real.

are they showing the batman prequel in the regular showing of M:I ghost protocol or just the IMAX screenings? if so, i call balderdash..

I know it's only a few seconds of trailer, but I got the impression Bane breaks Bruce Wayne...not defeats Batman.

i don't think bane actually breaks Bruce/Batman's back, simply because Bruce is using a cane to walk..

I wasn't referring to Bruce with a walking cane but the brief scene where Bane is looking down on Bruce's face.

To me, there's no partial hint of cape or cowl so that suggests Bruce Wayne getting beaten & not Batman getting defeated.
