Tom Hardy Reveals A Clash Between Bane And Gordon In THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Talking about the difference between their relationship in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Dark Knight Rises, here's what Tom Hardy had to say about a clash between him and Gary Oldman in the threequel.

By Josh Wilding - 5/22/2012

Well, I guess we now know who puts Commissioner Gordon in the hospital! (as seen in the first teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises) In an interview with Total Film at the Cannes Film Festival, it would appear that Tom Hardy has confirmed some sort of confrontation between the villainous Bane and Commissioner Jim Gordon in the highly anticipated finale to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.

"I spent my entire experience with Gary [on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy] staring at him and not returning any lines because I think he's God. The second time [on The Dark Knight Rises] I was playing God, so I ignored him. Kicked him a bit, that kind of thing. Gary Oldman is one of my heroes, I did nothing but glean from him."


So, not a huge amount of detail here, but it definitely sounds as if we should expect to see the villain taking on more than just the Caped Crusader this July. The fact he compares Bane to God is also very interesting, especially as many fans have pieced together a theory that he imprisons Bruce Wayne/Batman at some point in The Dark Knight Rises. Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.

STARRING:

Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Michael Caine as Alfred
Gary Oldman as Commissioner Jim Gordon
Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox
Tom Hardy as Bane
Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake
Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate
Josh Pence as Ra's Al Ghul

I hope Catwoman gets a fight with Bane, and that Nolan just doesn't use her to fight with Taila.

PS. Gordon's going to die in the movie. Him or Freeman.

@Orca - shut up man, forget about the Avengers for a second, jeez! You sound like a crying dumped girlfriend who can't stop talking about the dude!

About the headline, I think Bane will break Gordon's spine, maybe? Then [frick] up Wayne pretty good while he creates the clash between the classes.

Sounds cool!

HA! I can see this guy is gonna be awesome to have around. *Looks @HolyNolan.
AlexdoxA - 5/22/2012, 9:38 AM
It's really sad that the only people that are left talking about The Avengers are the nolanites...
HelaGood - 5/22/2012, 9:40 AM
@OrcaFat shove your hate in a sack, mister. CBMs of any publisher is a good thing. we all have our preferences and favorites. just keep yours to yourself.

TheMyth - 5/22/2012, 9:40 AM
yossarian, lol that about sums it up.
dahamma - 5/22/2012, 9:40 AM
lol @orcfat only one to bring up avengers in TDKR thread its gonna be ok man, it really will lol

Gordons mustache would totally annihilate bane anyway.

But yeah Hardy is right though,Gary Oldman is a superb actor and his casting is probably the best since Alfred and Joker.

That Holy Nolan pic is kinda disturbing lmao
Greengo - 5/22/2012, 9:45 AM

Wildaniel - 5/22/2012, 9:49 AM
No one cares about Hines Ward or the Steelers, everyone cares about the TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS!!!!!!

These jesus / thor pics reminds me of the dude on that Polly movie (philip seymor hoffman):

RocketMadnessBoss - 5/22/2012, 9:58 AM
IT sounds to me more like he's just talking about off-camera, on-set experience's with Gary.
ralfinader - 5/22/2012, 10:05 AM
Gusto....you are more delusional than a Nolanite. But still... Go Lions!
Netman0007 - 5/22/2012, 10:06 AM
"Morgan Freeman is going to die in this movie!"

"...Gordon dies in the movie!"

"Bruce Wayne dies in the movie!'


Holy shit does everyone die in this movie? SMH, fanboys...

They should make a photoshopped Loki with nolan's face on it
CPBuff22 - 5/22/2012, 10:42 AM
Why does WB insist on letting these actors talk. With each and every interview they do I loose interest in this movie.
NeoBaggins - 5/22/2012, 10:44 AM
So, actors named TOM who play villains like to Ham it up. I like it. Hardy and Hiddleston are cool dudes.

TH FO LIFE
MadTitan - 5/22/2012, 10:50 AM

@madtitan i counted ten lol Nolan is watching..
MadTitan - 5/22/2012, 10:58 AM
@dahamma -- close, but there's more...lol

SpiderFan35 - 5/22/2012, 11:04 AM
@batliz: I sadly noticed that pic from the bottom and scrolled UP. Ouch lol.
Leftcoastpunk - 5/22/2012, 11:09 AM
I don't think this confirms bane's directly responsible, he just says he kicks him, not necessarily on camera though. That's a good way to get over being starstruck, just give your heros a kick instead of a hand shake, makes for a better story too d;-)

As far as the football talk... year of the Seahawk baby!!! (Stop right there B&Y, nothing outta you) d;-)
miguelus - 5/22/2012, 11:19 AM
@catwoman it's already been confirmed a long time ago that freeman is the one that dies in this movie...
GiantNerd0720 - 5/22/2012, 11:25 AM
@madtitan You are funny dude. Lol.
GiantNerd0720 - 5/22/2012, 11:32 AM
I counted ten too. The one in the air duct made me laugh.
GiantNerd0720 - 5/22/2012, 11:33 AM
Nm just found two more. It's it twelve?
musicsuperhero1 - 5/22/2012, 11:50 AM
@batlizard11
You HAVE to post the uncropped version of that last pic bro! hahaha
RaleighAntrobus - 5/22/2012, 12:16 PM
... I hate it when a person calls another person God...
AlexDeLarge87 - 5/22/2012, 12:38 PM
NononononononoNO! Skyfall and Prometheus are going to be the best movies of the year.

Oh and respect for Gary! Stansfield rules!:)

Owlman
holy shit you still dont get that Bane can take off his mask but only for a while. He can eat and then put the mask back on. Also Hardy would kick your ass and is by no means fat.
AlanWarlock - 5/22/2012, 2:29 PM
The fanboy worship for Nolan reaches epic proportions. A very good filmmaker with the potential to be great. If he can ever figure out how to make a movie without so many glaring plot holes.
Batman27 - 5/22/2012, 4:31 PM
Owlman we know your going to watch this film so shut up.
worldbreaker - 5/22/2012, 6:20 PM
if gordon dies before his daughter is old enough to become batgirl this movie will just do to batman's story what it has been. this should be called batmam-kingdom of the crystal skull
Leftcoastpunk - 5/23/2012, 1:01 AM
@durf - that's cool to hear ;) it is tuff to bet against the pack that's for sure, hopefully your ex-back up will help us out this season d;-)

@blackandyellow - I know, we usually always have that going for us! Dig the rage avatar by the way d;-)

Oh wait comic thread...um...bane looks beast and stuff...yea!!!
Minghagz - 5/23/2012, 1:28 AM
I'm fairly disturbed by some of the pics from this thread.

Thank you @Durf6199 for redeeming it!
MadTitan - 5/23/2012, 6:37 AM
@GiantNerd0720 --- the unholy faces totals 15 in all. lol

the obvious among them with the Veangers. the surrounding background from the walls to the utensils and the mother of all that is the one directly looking at the gang with a mean look in the eyes, lol
