Batman and Bane Join the Royal Rumble
Okay, I’ve been a little down on The Dark Knight Returns — I’m not that thrilled by Anne Hathway’s Catwoman costume, and I find Bane’s voice pretty goofy, although I admit you guys are right and it was be redubbed in post-production and god only knows what it will sound like then. So here’s a DKR video I have nothing crappy to say about — it’s of Batman fighting Bane in a massive cops-thugs brawl on the Gotham City courthouse steps. Of course, because I have nothing bad to say about the clip, that also means I pretty much have nothing interesting to say about the clip, so… yeah. Hmm. I don’t think this worked out nearly as well as I hoped it would. Well, thanks to James B. for the tip.
