We’ve seen a teaser photo then the first mysterious footage of Tom Hardy as the villain Bane in Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises, but now we have the first reveal at his costume. Production is underway in Pittsburgh, and Just Jared snapped some set photos. Hardy doesn’t look as menacing standing on top of a car with dozens of crew members around him, but it is still neat to see his full get-up. I’ve included them below, along with a video of the desert-cloaked Batmobile from Cinema Blend.
Scripted by David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan, the film also stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata, Nestor Carbonell, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti, Joey King, Brett Cullen, Chris Ellis, and Josh Stewart.
The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th, 2012 in IMAX.
