Tijdens een interview met GQ heeft kostuumontwerper Lindy Hemming onthuld dat er uit The Dark Knight Rises een scene is geschrapt waarin een flashback te zien is over de schurk Bane (Tom Hardy). In de beelden zouden we de training van de villain zien, alsmede een eerste "primitieve" versie van zijn masker.
De kostuumontwerper Lindy Hemming tegenover GQ: "The thing that you should have seen during that sequence is [Bane] being injured in his youth. So one of the fundamental things about his costume is that he has this scar from the back injury. Even if he hasnt got the bulletproof vest on, he still has to wear the waist belt and the braces. In that scene in the prison, where hes learning to fight the same way Batman learned to fight, hes wearing an early version of his waist belt. Its showing support, but its not the finished one he eventually wears. Hes also wearing an early version of his gas mask, all glued together
If you look at the film, unless theyve cut itand Im sure they haventtheres a whole early section for Tom Hardy where hes fighting and being taunted by people. Hes got chains on him, and hes standing on a wooden thing while people are attacking him. And in that scene, hes wearing a much more ragged, primitive version of the mask."
Klaarblijkelijk heeft de kostuumontwerper de film nog niet gezien. Hieronder de reactie nadat haar verteld werd dat de beschreven scene niet in de film zit: "Well that's an awful shame, but I suppose you have to cut things. I won't elaborate on it too much, because it isn't in the film, but there was another section that showed you why he had the mask and where it came from."
Hieronder een grappig bedoelde video van Funny or Die, waarin Bane in de zeik wordt genomen. Zeven jaar na Risis:
