Isaac Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 ---------------------------------- In a stroke of viral marketing brilliance, Christopher Nolan gave his intrepid fans on Twitter a sneak preview of “The Dark Knight Rises“: the first photo of Tom Hardy as Bane in the next Batman film. As fans discovered, tweeting “#thefirerises†helps fill in the hidden Tom Hardy image on “The Dark Knight Rises†website, which launched Friday. Holy Twitter, Batman! What a way for Nolan to mark the first week of filming. __________________________________ Bane, the chemically created brute who first appeared in the comics in 1993, is a “younger†villain for Nolan’s Batman mega-franchise, which has most prominently featured the Joker (who first appeared in 1940) , Two-Face (1942), Ra’s Al-Ghul (1971) and the Scarecrow (1941). But don’t let Bane’s relative newness fool you; the muscular juggernaut once broke Batman’s back in the comics. – Noelene Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
