26 Fascinating Images Of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Concept Art

I’m no fan of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, but one thing I’m always a fan of is concept art. We’ve already seen some from THE AVENGERS, and now here’s a look at early ideas from Christopher Nolan’s trilogy ender. Most interesting are the different variations on Bane’s mask. I can understand not choosing any of the proposed ideas, as it would have been even harder for Tom Hardy to perform without any use of his face whatsoever. Another shows a very disfigured Bane, one where he seems to be dressed in Roman gladiator attire, and also a mask which is pretty much just a facehugger from ALIEN. Even if you thought the film was vastly underwhelming, these works at least force you to appreciate the amount of work that went into creating the film.
