Picture Of Tom Hardy As ‘Bane’ In ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

Well that didn't take long. We already have our first picture of Tom Hardy as the main villain 'Bane' in Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises'! I mentioned yesterday that I'd be updating about this movie as info rolled in. The movie only started shooting YESTERDAY! Now, here we are on the second day of shooting and we've got our first pic of the main villain. The strange thing is how it was uncovered...

There he is kids... The BANE of Batman's existence. See what I did there? So, to uncover this picture people had to go through a LOT...well, it's a lot to the average person like you and me. However, just like they did for 'The Dark Knight' they've started a viral campaign. If you go to TheDarkKnightRises.com there's an audio clip of people chanting. To be honest it's kinda creepy. If you click on the black background it will give you access to the sound file. A smarty person just thought to run that audio through a program that turns sound waves into visuals. The audio spits out the visual '#thefirerises'. Which nowadays most folks know means something on twitter. Turns out that  refers to a twitter account. The more followers that hopped on revealed this picture. But since these aren't your ordinary people, someone else found a way around it, and gave us the picture that you see above! Whew!

So a whole lotta nerdiness went into giving you your first image of Tom Hardy as Bane...But isn't it so worth it?!?!? To me it is.
