Remember that article I wrote, oh, ten minutes ago about the new Dark Knight Rises viral campaign?
Well, it turns out it wasn't just to tweet random phrases into cyberspace.
Tweeting #TheFireRises was just a way to get a picture unlocked. And while that picture is still unlocking as I type this, a high-rez shot of its result has already leaked online. (Sorry, Warner Bros. Better security next time.)
It's Tom Hardy as Bane!
Look at his muscles!
Look at his spine!
Look at his kinda H.R. Giger-ish mask. Not a Mexican wrestler mask, but a creepy set of steel bones! (Or something.)
If all you know about Tom Hardy was his suave 007-ish turn in Inception, you need to see him brawl like a maniac in the odd British film Bronson.
Tell us what you think about this first offical pic from The Dark Knight Rises in the comments below.
