[illsuspect]

Almost every line Bane speaks burns into your soul.

[randonr.]

“Do you feel in charge?”

When places the back of his hand on his shoulder…oh man the chills it gives…

[mr.midnight]

“You fight like a younger man, with nothing held back. Admirable but mistaken.”

[nicopillay]

"Do you feel in charge?" one of the most sinister lines in movie history.

[cheetos]

"You merely adopted the dark. I was raised by it, molded by it." I use that quote so much. It's so awesome.

[James-bcjk]

Something so natural and honest about this man great guy and actor

[jakubport]

Tom Hardy's Bane is a combination of the most memorable writing and one of the best actors of our age.

[sophiepedigree]

"You think darkness is your ally, but you've merely adopted the dark."

Love Tom Hardy . Anything he touches is gold .

[PlayNiceFolks]

Everytime a cup comes near me, there is a risk of a Bane impression coming out

[tottle]

Perhaps he was wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane

[gaburearu]

The best thing about this is Christopher Nolan taking the actor's idea and giving it a go. It demonstrates his trust in the actor understanding the character.

[ausgepicht]

Such a freaking awesome actor. I don't know if he does 100% of the picking of the movies or he has a team, but whoever it is/they are, they deserve a ton of credit because of the variety of roles and because of the challenge the role will present.

[leeroyduncan]

It's incredible ....only you and bale could do those roles so perfect

[ikejugend]

“Shadows betray you, because they belong TO ME”

[jasonkelly]

Peace has cost you strength
Victory has defeated you

[DeathMetalDerf]

For all the intense and brutal characters he’s played over the years, Tom Hardy actually seems like a really decent guy.

[Annderdoll]

He's spectacular. The intelligence, the talent- just incredible.

[knoble]

John Daggett : I paid you a small fortune.

Bane : And this gives you *power* over me?
