Tom Hardy | Bane

In the Dark Knight franchise, Tom Hardy plays the antagonist Bane. Fans and critics, however, were quick to point out that Hardy was not even needed in the movie because his character wears a mask all the time, and his voice has been altered to be unrecognizable. To them, it did not matter if Hardy played it or someone else. Furthermore, others also remarked that Buster Reeves, his double, did most of Bane’s action sequences anyway, so it was the stuntman doing all the work all along.

Because of this, many asked why Hardy’s name was put up in the film credits at all. Well, we cannot deny that the actor has a solid fan base, and just his name up on the screen can already draw some following. Simply put, it will attract more people to the cinemas. Of course, we also have to thank Reeves, who did an excellent job in bringing Bane to life, for the most part.
