Bane Cat 2: The Dark Cat Rises

If you haven’t seen the Bane Cat video that turned up on YouTube a while back, you missed something truly hilarious. The video has a fat kitty wearing a Bane mask from the Batman films, egging on the humans who are clearly beneath him. This time out he is joined by a new ally he meets at the veterinarian.

It’s more of the same with the fat kitty in the Bane mask threatening to kill everyone and demanding to be fed. I particularly like the part where Bane Cat gives his owner permission to clean up the mess he and Joker Cat made, but only after Bane Cat is fed.

Check out the second installment in the video above and if you missed the first, I threw it in below. I suspect that we will see more installments in this franchise.

Be Gotham’s Reckoning: Voice-Changing Bane Mask

Voice Changing Bane MaskThe voice-changing Bane mask is available online starting at $52.

The trailers for The Dark Knight Rises pitted Batman against Bane, but little did people know that his true enemy was someone much closer, someone whom he never suspected. Bane was a worthwhile opponent and definitely appealing to the masses: strong, well-built, and mysterious, with an interesting back story. He was also sometimes unintelligible when he spoke with that distinct accent of his because of his mask.

Bane claimed to be Gotham’s reckoning, and now you can channel his character (or at least his voice) by donning this Bane mask. Not only does it give you that bad-ass look, but it also comes with an integrated voice changer to make you sound more like Bane.

Bane Walkie-Talkies: Breaker 1-9, Got Your Mask on?

The Dark Knight Rises wasn’t my favorite in the Nolan Batman series, but I still thought Bane was pretty bad-ass – even if it did sound like he was talking with marbles in his mouth most of the time. That scene when he blows up the football stadium is a classic, IMHO. Now, if you want to announce your evil plans just like Bane, you can, thanks to these new voice-changing Bane walkie-talkies.

You and your friend can each strap on the Bane masks, and a special voice-changer circuit will make you sound just like the Dark Knight’s hulking, if inarticulate nemesis. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to understand each other, but I suppose that’s part of the fun.

I have to say, Bane doesn’t look so tough when he only comes up to your navel. No word yet on pricing for the Bane walkie-talkies, but our pals over at ThinkGeek are hiding more details over in their bat-filled secret lair.

UPDATE: Happy April Fool’s Day!

Crocheted Bane Mask: You Have My Permission to Hug Me

Pretend like you’re Gotham’s reckoning – whatever the hell that means – without the discomfort or drunk Sean Connery voice that goes along with it with this awesome crocheted Bane mask made by Etsy crafter Rose Pope.

Rose makes each mask by hand using nothing but acrylic wool and a few wooden sticks to make the piping stable. If you look closely at the picture above you can see that there’s a gap in the mask to help the wearer breathe.

Rose is selling the crocheted Bane mask on her Etsy shop Stitch Finder General for about $93 (USD). However, if you want to order one don’t click on the “Add to cart” button; Rose says she’s struggling to cope with the demand for her creation – the League of Shadows probably placed a bulk order – so you have to contact her to place your order.

Batbane: If Batman and Bane Had a Baby

You find the strangest stuff over on Etsy sometimes. Like this mask which envisions a hybrid between Batman and Bane. The artist who made it likes to call it “Batbane.” I just like to call it straight-up weird.

Grab the Batbane mask for about $163(USD) from Ministry of Masks if you’d like to be the biggest freak in town.

Denis Medri does some great stuff with superheroes. First with a steampunk redesign of Spider-Man and a few of his more well known villains, and also a more original Rockabilly adaptation to members of the Bat-Family, Batman himself and some of his villains.

LEGO Batman Minifigs Break Cover

Give your minifigs the hero they deserve – and the villain they don’t – with these LEGO Batman minifigures. They’re far from the first minifigs of Batman or even Bane, but they are the best ones yet. And while they’re not officially tied to The Dark Knight Rises, you’ll still have a hard time understanding minifig Bane.

These minifigs will make your LEGO trailers more convincing.

Or not. I don’t really know where minifig enthusiasts go to get the latest releases, but they’re not available on the LEGO store yet. I’m sure they’ll show up soon enough. Or maybe we need to build a minifig Bat Signal to call them.

Source Material to the Dark Knight Trilogy

While the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy is mostly his and his brother’s script work, they both draw a lot from the source material, the comic books from over the years, especially the darker, grittier ones. Maybe that’s why the Dark Knight trilogy have been going so good.
