Empire Magazine has two covers for its latest issue featuring Christian Bale as Batman and Tom Hardy as Bane from The Dark Knight Rises, which opens in July. They’re calling this “The Ultimate Exclusive!”, and it must be very exciting for people who don’t have the internet. I still think Bane’s mask thingie looks like an elaborate ball gag. I can’t be the only person who looks at that and thinks of hardcore gay sex.

Wow, Maggie Thatcher gets billed below a child-rapist AND gets the incredulous question mark? The Brits must REALLY hate that chick.
That mask would be right at home in the Schumaker movies. It’s like the long lost brother of the Bat Nipples.
Batman looks like a spokes model in that picture.
“Lets show em the next item up for bids”
“Its an amazing high powered light cannon! Presenting the Batshine 4000! Now you too can blind your enemy’s henchmen before fighting them in your armored bat pajamas!”
“And let the bidding begin!”
Bane looks like the guy from “Powder” with Sleep Apnea.
Gay sex is one of the many recurring themes of Christopher Nolan movies. Why else would there be so many female roles that end in death?
I’ve got a shiny twoney and a half-used Subway card that says Brendan wore something similar in college his rookie year. (Only it smelled more “crotchy”.)
Assmode: I think the female role in Dark Knight ended in death because they cast Maggie Gyllenhaal and Nolan loves his audience. In Inception, I think Frenchy L’incomprehensible’s role *began* in death so, y’know, there.
“This character’s face will be covered by a mask for most of the movie.”
“Let’s cast a really good-looking actor.”
“Genius! Cocaine-flavored champagne and albino whores for everyone!”
Once you look at Bane’s mask as sideways robot Goatse, it’s hard to take it seriously
What an exciting turn!
Batman confronts the new face of crime: speed limit violators!! God help them if they litter too. Tagline: “Where’s the fire?”
Judging from the magazine cover, I’m guessing the big villain in the new film is Dr. Zoidberg?
HOORAY!
Frenchy L’Incomprehensible was my gay porno name!
” I can’t be the only person who looks at that and thinks of hardcore gay sex.”
Nope. Although I think of hardcore gay sex when I look at zucchini bread too so… do with that what you will.
