Christopher Nolan has revealed that Tom Hardy’s portrayal of Bane in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Dark Knight Rises was based on him – according to Hardy, anyway. Bane is a masked villain int🃏ent on destroying Gotham in the final instalment of the Christian🌠 Bale-fronted Batman trilogy.

"I think there is a slightly mischievous tendency on the part of actors to see in the filmmakers where as a writer, par🌺ticularly writer/directors, were able to put a bit of the🦹mselves into something and then build on that,” Nolan said in a recent appearance on the . 

“Tom Hardy main🅘tains that Bane is somehow based on me, but in Tom’s mind there’s some very complex interweaving of impulses and influences tꦓhat somehow I have a voice in. I think it’s certainly not conscious on my part.”

Nolan went on to praise Hardy’s performance in the movie, which he thinks remains under-appreciated eight years after the movie’s𓄧 release in 2012. “What he did with tജhat character has yet to be fully appreciated. It’s an extraordinary performance, and truly amazing,” Nolan said. 

We can next see the Caped Crusader on our screens played by Robert Pattinson in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman, with an ensemble cast including Zoe Kravitz, Colin Farrell, and Paul Dano. The release date has been pushed back several times due to th𝓡e corꦉonavirus pandemic, and it’s now due out on March 4 2022.
