The actor says that Nolan contacted him about being involved in the project while he was shooting the upcoming rom-com "This Means War ".
Hardy said to the director - "‘Hang on a minute. You’re asking me to come round the world with you in a Batman movie, playing a villain, and the only downside to it is I have to wear a mask? Hmmm, let me think. I’ll get back to you… No, I’m f***ing there, man! Anything you need.’"
Asked if Bane would break Batman's back in the film like he did in the comics, "Mmmmm… Good lead-in, but all I can say is that Chris has a plan up his sleeve that’s not at all disappointing. And that is a definite choice that’s watertight in every respect."
Hardy is aware of the fanboy pressure and isn't letting that bother him - "I think Bane’s f***ing cool so I’m really excited to play him. It’s not the guy in Joel Schumacher's film, but it shouldn’t disappoint fanboys."
On acting while wearing a mask, Hardy revealed: “Any time you put something over your face, you’re going to adopt a personality and a physicality that has nothing to do with acting. It allows a performance to be free.”
