First Image of Bane From The Dark Knight Rises

To say that I'm excited is an understatement. I'm freakin' stoked! Looks like the people at Warner Bros are looking to go viral with the marketing of The Dark Knight Rises. The movie's official website appears blank but has, what sounds like, people chanting in the background. The chant doesn't make sense, that  was until a SuperHeroHype Forums member figured out using an audio program that in spectrum the audio says "#thefirerises" and is linked to Twitter.com/TheFireRises account. A picture of the spectrum is shown below.



Because of this ingenious ploy by WB, we now get our first real image of Bane, played by Tom Hardy. The image remains true to director Christopher Nolan's view of the Batman series as dark, gritty and most importantly, based in reality. 



I'm sure that more is to come with the viral marketing of this movie and already fans can impose themselves into the above image by following TheFireRises account. The Closet Geek is now one of the many images embedded into the photo below. Can you find me?


There's no doubt that more is to come and I for one, can't wait!
