You hadn't seen TDKR yet, whaaaaaaa? But yes, Bane is delightful. He and Selina Kyle were my standout characters in that movie.

What's that old saying about assumptions? Reminds me of the time my family and I were boarding a ferry during the holidays and one of the workers on shore wished us Merry Christmas then, on second glance, Happy Kwanza. And when she saw us again on our return to shore, she wished us Happy Kwanza alone. She was right the first time-- we're Christmas folk-- but we just accepted the greeting the amusement and moved on. At least she tried?
