New Dark Knight Rises Set Pic Reveals Back Of Bane's Head

Alright, we're totally looking forward to seeing The Dark Knight Rises. But the incessant stream of leaked photos, videos, and random info has to… well, cease at some point, doesn't it?

In the latest image to be released/leaked from Christopher Nolan's set, we get to see the back of Tom Hardy's head.

Well, perhaps we're being a little cavalier. Forgive our Bat-fatigue. What we're actually getting a close look at is the whopping scar on villain Bane's neck. Looks like it had to hurt. According to reports, the spots around Tom Hardy's back and the scars on his shaven head also have something to do with the make-up process - though the tats are Hardy's own. (Twit-twoo. We do appreciate a bit of ink on a man.)

In other Dark Knight Rises news, Liam Neeson has been vaguer than vague about whether he was on set to film, or just pay a visit to his old Batman chums.

The actor told Showbiz Spy: "I can tell you nothing about Dark Knight Rises, seriously. I was on set for maybe an hour and a half and the director didn't tell me anything of what it's about. So I'm being very honest when I say I have no idea what's going to happen."

Very nicely avoiding the subject there, Liam. Well done.

 The Dark Knight Rises hits cinemas on 20 July, 2012.
