Tom Hardy’s portrayal of Bane was top tier. He made Bane feel resolved, calculated, and calm. Whilst also being tenacious, intimidating, and menacing. Absolutely loved his performance.
It made me like Bane again. Every time I saw the representation of Bane, I just tolerated him enough. The Dark Knight Rises made me really like to hate this character. Which is powerful.
All while wearing a freaking mask. I know everyone loves the Joker but I still love this portrayal of a villain the best out of this series. Hardy killed it.
He was the perfect combination of what the Joker brought to the table in being smart and scheming a bunch, plans no one would see coming until it's too late, and Ra's Al Ghoul in physical intimidating and training, and upping it like ten times. He was the "final boss" pretty much, made Bruce use what he had learned up until that point to try to stop an imposing villain that not only was strong, smart, but also had a great amount of Gotham on his side as well.
"So that's what that feels like." Batman experienced what it's like for someone to disappear in the middle of a conversation like he did with Gordon all the time. Also, "Peace has cost you your strength, victory has defeated you." One of the best villian lines in history. Batman has spent too long beating up criminals who had no chance of fighting Batman at his level, add 8 years of sitting around being a cripple and it led to the biggest defeat of his life. Bane's entire speech during that scene is so painful because of the truth he speaks.
@@CourtneyAndBooksnever thought about that but if it was improvised that makes the scene even better crazy that scene alone he feels the evil and power from bane just resting his hand on a shoulder brilliant acting!
@@umfilmmaker8253 I'll bet coordinating the stunts must've been insane! There's so much happening in those scenes and it goes by so quickly but all that work sells the realism. I have huge respect for stunt performers, they too often go overlooked. And all the work people like you have to put in to building the world for the movie, it's essential.
The saddest part is that alongside Cillian Murphy's Scarecrow , who appears in all 3 movies, Heath Ledger's Joker was also supposed to apparently play a significant role in the second half or at least make a cameo in the same fashion
Seeing Alfred crying and pouring his heart out thinking he has failed, really hurts!! Probably the best ending tho! Bruce and Alfred look at each other and without saying a word, they nod... Just like Alfred's dream..
I know it's been 10 months so you might not see this but watch again after they nod Alfred puts his card away because Bruce has already paid for him I just think it makes there nods and smiles even better
Notice at the party Bruce is the only one without a mask? Because he believes life as Bruce is his "secret" life, that he truly is batman at heart instead.
I watched this entire trilogy in imax. First two films lead into the midnight showing (opening night) of Rises. It was one of the best movie theater experiences I’ve ever had. I live in Colorado so unfortunately the shooting that happened clouds the day after.
I was classmates with a few high schoolers who were there during the Aurora theater shooting but in a different theater room. People often see Aurora as a ghetto crime-filled place, which it isn't. James Holmes was simply a psycho nutcase.
So if Nolan put in any thoughts about how completely and absolutely nonsensical the scene is, narratively as well as physically, he could have saved a lot of time and work and money. ...and used that nto fix the rest of the bad dialogue, nonsensical script, poor lighting and lazy fight scenes. But he didn't. Whoopsie.
There's one part of this movie most people get wrong. They think Batman never should have been able to defeat Bane. What they don't get is the whole movie was setting up for that fight. Metaphorical and literal intertwined. Bane says to Batman: "You think darkness is your ally? But you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Molded by it." Batman was defeated by Bane in darkness. So the solution to win was to fight him in the light. Figuratively and literally. Bane's strength in darkness was more metaphorical than literal, but there was obviously a literal aspect to it too. The metaphor of darkness is for secrecy. Bane won by being deceptive and secretive. He won by making shady backroom deals with people to betray others. Batman had to change tactics. His whole persona was fighting in darkness alone, like a villain. Batman is the dark knight because he fights and operates kind of like a criminal. Batman, the "Dark Knight" "Rises" in this film "into the light". It begins when he's dumped in the prison. When he's first dropped into the prison he's nobody and people want nothing to do with him. By the time he escape, he is literally escaping into the light. The people of the prison are chanting for him, "Rise! Rise! Rise!" He asks, "How?" (to escape) The reply: "As the child did. Without rope." The rope was holding Batman back. The reservation. That is what it means to operate in darkness, it is a defense, it is holding back. To go into the light is to trust, to remove restraint and be vulnerable but bolder. When he embraces the light he is aided by allies. The police, Catwoman, "Robin", and this is how he defeats Bane. In the light. That same quote by Bane foretold this. it continues "I didn't see the light until I was already a man and by then it was nothing to me but blinding." Batman blinded Bane with the light. And when he finally did, the truth was laid bare. Who Bane was, who was friend, and who was enemy.
Yup, he rose into the light, and soon he'll be doing the Batoosi, fighting off sharks with bat shark repellent, and giving female villains the "poor, deluded child" defense.
I couldn't tell if you recognized him or not but this (2:25) is "Middlefinger" from Game of Thrones. I know a lot of people don't like this because TDK was so great but I don't think that's fair. The Dark Knight is by far the greatest superhero movie of all-time. You can't expect lightning to strike twice. I love TDKR though. Especially the end which I thought was perfect.
I think it's more 'the greatest superhero villain', and then it works. There seemed to be a lot off in that movie to me - the dynamic between Dent and Rachel, and Bruce and Rachel just seemed way off, and the character of Dent himself too. It's important to the storyline that it all be believable, and it just wasn't close. And that bothers me because Heath Ledger deserved a much better cast.
This is my favorite out of the trilogy. He realized he finally gave enough to the city and it was time for him to retire. I cried at the scene between him and Alfred on the stairs and at the end when Alfred said to the parents that he failed them. It couldn't have ended better. 🤗🖤
I really like this one. Everyone always brings up the dark knight but it’s cool to see some of the other villains besides joker get the spotlight. This one feels a little more like a comic book run as well. Batman is away then he comes back then he goes away and the story follows robin then batman comes back again. Quite an epic and the music is fantastic.
Don’t just discredit The Dark Knight because it’s more popular. The Dark Knight is just the better movie 🤷♂️. Don’t get me wrong The Dark Knight Rises is also one of the best comic book movies
This is my favorite batman movie out them all simply because Bane is in this and Tom hardy as Bane made it all that better! What's funny is that an older man is used as Banes voice!
The airplane dragging scene is real, and the shot where it drops is also real. But they used realistic dolls because of safety of course, cool scene nonetheless. So happy to see this on the notifcations, hope youre doing great man
Motorcycles are actually A very good get away vehicles in the right hands just for the fact they can go down narrow paths the cops can't follow as easily or at all.
This is one of the few super hero movies in the last ten years that has had a good villain. and you cant even see his face! Tom Hardy is absolutely one of my favorite actors. I think you would really like "Lawless"
Batman's house is located in my hometown of Nottingham. It's on a big Deer park with a golf course and a lake. My old school is also there....yes I spent lots of time bunking off school there lol
Here's a little interesting piece of trivia for you. In the DC origin story of Bane, he gained his superhuman strength from being used as a guinea pig in experiments using a powerful toxin called venom. Tom Hardy, who plays Bane in this movie, also plays Eddie Brock, aka Venom, in the MCU. Not only interesting in the use of the same name but also making Tom hardy one of a few actors to cross over between the rival universes of Marvel & DC.
I like how Alfred casually puts away his card at the end. He probably figured Bruce owns the place, and after being put through that emotional windmill, the damn coffee better be on him!
60,000 views, my man, so happy for you, I've been with you since you said you were going to kick Danny Carey's ass, still love that video, and really lovin the movies, especially Titanic when I feel depressed
Thank you for finally hearing my prayers and finishing this kickass trilogy Leo, I love these films and your priceless reactions to them. Been waiting a long time for this one and the heat is finally here! *The Fire Rises*
An absolute classic trilogy! The Dark Knight Rises is a great finale for all three epic Bat-movies! That "Rise" chant in that Underground Prison is hype-inducing! Great reaction brother Leo! 💪💪💪
My favorite Tom Hardy roll. Also, his two roles in the movie Legend. Warrior was another great one. He got freaking jacked for these. Man is an absolute Unit. Great actor, big fan.

His voice was cringe af and killed the entire character for me
If you like a bad Sean Connery impression.
Seriously, it sounds like he's talking into a coffee cup.
"Not everything. Not yet." The best lines of the trilogy and you're the only reactor I've seen acknowledge what Batman was saying. Good on you!
"So that's what that feels like." Batman experienced what it's like for someone to disappear in the middle of a conversation like he did with Gordon all the time.
Also, "Peace has cost you your strength, victory has defeated you." One of the best villian lines in history.

“crashing this plane” your imitation absolutely took me out shit got me laughing too much
Best line in the movie. Dude says "I'm in charge here", Bane says " Do you feel in charge?" laugh my ass off every time I hear that
The part where he laid the back of his hand on the dude’s shoulder? That would scare the hell outta me. Great scene.
lol reminds me of Dick Jones brushing his unwashed poo-hand through Bob Morton's hair
pretty sure that instance was improvised, too. which makes it even better lol
@@CourtneyAndBooksnever thought about that but if it was improvised that makes the scene even better crazy that scene alone he feels the evil and power from bane just resting his hand on a shoulder brilliant acting!
"Victory has defeated you".
favorite line from all 3 movies
I was a GCPD officer in this. A lot of hard work in brutal 100 degree temps to prepare for, and shoot our scenes. Thanks for watching! 💙
Hell yeah! Being an extra in this movie is pretty cool!
Dude, that's so badass
@@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers I’m one of only a couple of women who were chosen. It was super bad ass training with the stunt team. They were amazing.
Thank you for your service

His face is his mask

Same. It was like watching one big six-seven hour movie because the story of each film just flows into the next.
I was classmates with a few high schoolers who were there during the Aurora theater shooting but in a different theater room. People often see Aurora as a ghetto crime-filled place, which it isn't. James Holmes was simply a psycho nutcase.
Nolan is known for practical effects and not using CGI. Almost the whole opening scene was real.
Which is INSANE to think about. I would have hated to be the production crew lmao. "Ok guys, we got one shot at this"
The visual effects director sweating bullets every time Nolan shoots him a new script.
That A-bomb must have cost him a fortune though
One of the ants were cgi
So if Nolan put in any thoughts about how completely and absolutely nonsensical the scene is, narratively as well as physically, he could have saved a lot of time and work and money.
...and used that nto fix the rest of the bad dialogue, nonsensical script, poor lighting and lazy fight scenes.
But he didn't. Whoopsie.
I'm new here but like how he gives an 'ohh' anytime Cat Woman is onscreen, and how he reacts to Alfred.
I love how Hardy acts as Bane. His fighting style is pure force.
I remember being introduced to Bane in 1995 while reading the comic book. Bane breaking the Bats back is legendary
The actor that plays Commisioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) also played Harry Potter's Godfather, Sirius Black in the Prisioner of Azkaban.

Batman blinded Bane with the light. And when he finally did, the truth was laid bare. Who Bane was, who was friend, and who was enemy.
nicely interpreted
Love this!👏👏👏
no sht dude, how can you think thats not what people get off of this movie? lol
Yup, he rose into the light, and soon he'll be doing the Batoosi, fighting off sharks with bat shark repellent, and giving female villains the "poor, deluded child" defense.
Nice. It would've flown over my head.
I'm just glad Alfred got his happy ending
Man I fuck with channel it's top tier. And your character you are so damn chill don't ever change.
I couldn't tell if you recognized him or not but this (2:25) is "Middlefinger" from Game of Thrones.
I know a lot of people don't like this because TDK was so great but I don't think that's fair. The Dark Knight is by far the greatest superhero movie of all-time. You can't expect lightning to strike twice. I love TDKR though. Especially the end which I thought was perfect.
“Middlefinger” 🤣🤣🤣. Leo renaming characters…Tyrone, Big B 🤣🤣🤣
@@sukidawter lol

This is the one i come back and watch the most. So satisfying.
Was expecting Leo to shout "middlefinger" in that plane scene in the beginning.
I was waiting for you to recognize Littlefinger in the opening plane scene!
He didn't.
When Catwoman is arched over that batbike, I tell you what, the dark knight ain’t the only thing that RISED
I love the scene when Alfred has to pick Bruce up from the party and says "Takes a little time to get back in the swing of things" 🤣 🤣 🤣
With the airplane scene, they were really that high in the sky. There was little to no CG used in this film.
The opening scene is one of my favorite. Hard to top dark knight but this was like up there
This is my favorite out of the trilogy. He realized he finally gave enough to the city and it was time for him to retire. I cried at the scene between him and Alfred on the stairs and at the end when Alfred said to the parents that he failed them. It couldn't have ended better. 🤗🖤
The entire plane scene during the opening sequence was filmed all practical, no cgi.
"one at a time, one at a time" As you're actively doing both lmao.
The grind is real, good shit.
Here's a little trip for you, have a good blaze and watch the movie "Waiting" 😎😂🤫
Yes!!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yessir!!!!! I'd even roll up for that reaction!
“I’m Gothams reckoning, I’m here to end the borrowed time you all have been living on”!! That’s bane scariest line of the movie!!
I don't know if you noticed or not didn't seem like it but the guy who says death by Exile is scarecrow he was in all three movies
I really like this one. Everyone always brings up the dark knight but it’s cool to see some of the other villains besides joker get the spotlight. This one feels a little more like a comic book run as well. Batman is away then he comes back then he goes away and the story follows robin then batman comes back again.

@@alkoholic3216 kind of true even though I actually prefer Rises
@@alkoholic3216 eh I never really liked dark knight always liked this one.
I will say speaking of comics even though I liked the movie they completely got Bane wrong
Thank you for finishing it!
"Do you feel in charge?" So many great quotes from this one.
This is my favorite batman movie out them all simply because Bane is in this and Tom hardy as Bane made it all that better! What's funny is that an older man is used as Banes voice!
I don’t think he even realized that was CATWOMAN
awww I was hoping you would recognize little finger at the beginning. Love your content dude
"don't come up into my city nigga!" cought me off guard :D:D
The airplane dragging scene is real, and the shot where it drops is also real. But they used realistic dolls because of safety of course, cool scene nonetheless. So happy to see this on the notifcations, hope youre doing great man
Motorcycles are actually A very good get away vehicles in the right hands just for the fact they can go down narrow paths the cops can't follow as easily or at all.
10:39 Fookin’ legend Karl Tanner. Littlefinger at the beginning too lol
When MR. video said.
"I don't even know what goes on in my head half the time, its just a head". I FELT THAT
26:15 I remember laughed at this scene. When no one in theater did. Why many people not get the joke. -_-
This is one of the few super hero movies in the last ten years that has had a good villain. and you cant even see his face! Tom Hardy is absolutely one of my favorite actors. I think you would really like "Lawless"
the stunt at the start with the planes are real!
Catwoman: disappeared in the middle of a conversation.
Batman: that's what that feels like.
Hella glad you got around to this movie hope you doin good Leo
"I was wondering what would break first: your spirit, or your body."
Reacting to all three of them, that's a big task.
Props for being the only TDKR reaction vid ive seen watched in the full frame version for IMAX scenes.
Leo I’m rolling up, binging your videos on a beautiful Sunday evening. I appreciate you big dawg.
When Batman said that's what it feels like to Catwoman its because he dissapears like that sometimes on ppl like that
I was shook when I found out he was Robin in the end. Cat woman ate in this movie lol
The soundtrack to this movie is too good
The Guy that says Bane in the beginning when they are getting on the plane is Little Finger from Game of Thrones
“Somebody get somebody to stop him!!!” I feel that, man.
He doesnt realize the agent on the plane is Little Finger. :)
We need that Rocky III reaction ASAP!!!!!
I wish this was still our Batman.
"Sometimes you gotta whack off some of these bad guys, Batman....." really dude? Lmfao
Bane: the shadows betray you because they belong to me
Woo-hoo!. This one is great too Leo. Really enjoyed your reaction.🤘
Fun fact: The football team for the movie is the Pitsberg Steelers.
“Victory has defeated you!”
Leo...you are a very insightful human. Anne Hathaway deserved an Oscar for that Catwoman role. Her fake cry was cold 🥶 .
Next Up-
*TRUE ROMANCE* 🔥🔥🔥
Batman's house is located in my hometown of Nottingham. It's on a big Deer park with a golf course and a lake. My old school is also there....yes I spent lots of time bunking off school there lol
"That's what it feels like" was a callback to Batman always disapearing when people turn away. And now Catwoman did his own move on him
YAAAAASSSSSS! But, How did you NOT notice Middlefinger in the plane scene?
Here's a little interesting piece of trivia for you. In the DC origin story of Bane, he gained his superhuman strength from being used as a guinea pig in experiments using a powerful toxin called venom.

40:00 That leap never fails to make sweat spring out on my palms.
I like how Alfred casually puts away his card at the end. He probably figured Bruce owns the place, and after being put through that emotional windmill, the damn coffee better be on him!
Imagine Bane as a sports commentator. I'd be watching ALL of the games.
60,000 views, my man, so happy for you, I've been with you since you said you were going to kick Danny Carey's ass, still love that video, and really lovin the movies, especially Titanic when I feel depressed
Did you recognize the plane guy from the beginning was Littlefinger? xD
Thank you for finally hearing my prayers and finishing this kickass trilogy Leo, I love these films and your priceless reactions to them. Been waiting a long time for this one and the heat is finally here! *The Fire Rises*
I always love when Leo says 5pm Eastern for it to drop. Me waiting at 5 🙃
Also Leo drops this at 10 instead of 5 😇😂
It's still not Easter in Fla. Lol
Yeah, but as soon I saw that LEO released this - I dropped everything else - and start watching! Leo has his own timeline...
@@bobbymariani2839 good catch I had to think like wtf does that have to do with my comment but I caught it 🤣
damn Mr. Video moving up in the production value.
I'm sort of upset that Leo didn't recognize Littlefinger was in the beginning during the plane sequence.
Liked: “They might be in the negative.”
Im surprised he didnt recognize Little Finger immediately like he did Joferry.
An absolute classic trilogy! The Dark Knight Rises is a great finale for all three epic Bat-movies! That "Rise" chant in that Underground Prison is hype-inducing! Great reaction brother Leo! 💪💪💪
If I remember correctly the kick returner was a Superbowl mvp. The "such a lovely voice" line adlive.
Keep doing you man! Always fire ! HEAT!
2 fantastic uploads in a day! Happy Easter y’all
I got chills and emotional man, *Loved* this video Leo 💯🏆 You the Man
great movie, great reaction.
3:17 it is brother. They cleared it up a ton too since it's release in the theater. It was super garbled before but I still loved it.
I went and seen this at the theater years ago and it's still the best movie today, I'm glad you have seen it.
My favorite Tom Hardy roll. Also, his two roles in the movie Legend. Warrior was another great one. He got freaking jacked for these. Man is an absolute Unit. Great actor, big fan.
You were hype this reaction & I love it. ❤
lmao leo's first reaction to catwoman was great
Happy Easter Leo
Now that you've watched these movies, you HAVE to watch the College Humor Batman skits. They are hilarious
Im glad you said something positive about Tom's voice as Bane, so many people were upset about it, i liked it, thought it suited his portrayal well.
At the beginning, the CIA guy who talks to Bane on the plane is Little Finger, from Game of Thrones.
I'm surprised you didn’t recognize him.
i think only you and me noticed it lol
It's always a good day when Leo's bringing that heat!
