Is there a connection between Bane and Harvey Dent? First, there was photo in Empire Magazine of Bane holding up Dent’s campaign photo. Second, Commissioner Gordon is eulogizing Dent in the The Dark Knight Rises IMAX prologue followed by an action piece featuring Bane that would impress James Bond.
I will not give any spoilers away but the prologue is astounding. After seeing it – I really feel anything could happen including the much rumored breaking of Batman. The only trouble is – I couldn’t tell you what Tom Hardy said, but he said it very menacingly.
Batmaniacs, come for The Dark Knight Rises prologue stay for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Brad Bird directed one of the best super hero movies ever, The Incredibles, and now he’s given us the best MI film. The latest adventure is stylish, gripping and fun with the grittiest mission yet. Ethan Hunt’s rogue team must clear their names and save the world in a plot that’s familiar but makes sense – an MI first. Cruise, Patton, Pegg, and Renner are a perfect foursome each delivering great elements to form a great team.
