<Dd> A mysterious and physically imposing revolutionary who was excommunicated from the League of Shadows and portrays himself as a `` liberator of pain '' . He is desperate to continue Ra 's al Ghul 's legacy by destroying Gotham . The character was chosen by Christopher Nolan because of his desire to see Batman tested on both a physical and mental level . According to costume designer Lindy Hemming , the character wears a mask that supplies him with an analgesic gas to relieve pain he suffers from an injury sustained `` early in his story '' . Hardy intended to portray the character as `` more menacing '' than Robert Swenson 's version of the character in Joel Schumacher 's Batman & Robin and that in order to do so , his portrayal entailed creating a contradiction between his voice and body . Hardy gained 30 pounds ( 14 kg ) for the role , increasing his weight to 200 pounds ( 90 kg ) . Hardy based Bane 's voice on several influences , which include Bartley Gorman , and the character 's comic book heritage . Bane claims that his revolution 's enemies are the rich and the corrupt , who he contends are oppressing `` the people '' . Political theorist and cultural critic Slavoj Žižek sees Bane as fighting `` structural injustice '' , while likening him to a modern day Che Guevara who is counter-intuitively driven to violence out of a sense of love . </Dd>
