Total Film has a new pic of Tom Hardy from The Dark Knight Rises, which you can see below. It’s just a straight on shot of Bane, but it’s a nice sharp hi-res image.

In addition to the pic that also got a few words from Hardy on what is was like wearing the mask, and his physical transformation while preparing for the role. Here’s what he had to say:

“It’s not as bad as you might think. You just put it on. Work out where you drool goes. That’s it. Mask work is good fun. This one wasn’t painful; there was the stunt mask and there was the up-close on for the sexy glam shots.
“When I started I was about 160-something pounds. When I was done I was 190. You lift weights. You eat. You lift some more weights. You don’t run anywhere because if you do cardio, you drop weight. So it’s really good for heart attacks!”

Do you think TDKR can beat The Avengers opening weekend of $207 million?
We’ll have to wait until July 20th to find out.
