Cinema Blend says
Like many of you, I have spent a good portion of today staring at the first image of Tom Hardy as Bane in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. Though the film isn't out until July 20, 2012, the fact that the viral campaign has already begun makes us feel like the movie is closer than ever, even though it only just started production. The cast is already stacked to the gills, with Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple, and Josh Pence all joining the regulars from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, but now the film has added two more names.
