This time Aint It Cool News is running photos from the other day's Stadium Shoot that Jacinta posted about which reveal Tom Hardy's pumped-up, baldy Bane taking the reins as Gotham's spokesman for Heinz delicious tomato ketchup:
AND GOTHAM! BUY SOME GODDAMN DORITOS WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!! |
It also appears that Bane has custom-built his own fleet of Batmobiles, but embarrassingly his desert camouflage paintjobs are doing nothing to conceal them in this tightly-packed stadium. Embarrassing, Bane. The desert is that way.
Now I realise that these are all amateur shots, and it will look infinitely better in the final film, and I totally trust that the engimatic Mr. Christopher Nolan could make an engaging film about a slice of bread. But even the most ardent Nolan fan has to admit that at this very early stage it all looks kind of silly. It seems to be leaving a lot of fans cold and strangely hungering for Doritos.
As much as I want a third Batman film to be the most kickass film ever made about an angry, screaming man dressed up as a bat who dangles people over things, there's also a little part of me that hopes that this is all an elaborate prank and - after all the impossible - that Nolan is actually going to knowingly and deliberately make a monumentally campy piece of shit on par with Batman and Robin. You know, just to get a RISE out of the fans. Because let's face it - Nolan is waaaaay smarter than any of us, especially his most rabid fans, so why wouldn't he enjoy a quiet chuckle by pissing them off. And in the process possibly exploding their heads.
Nolan's got a plan. I would trust that plan with my LIFE.
