Details on a Deleted Scene From The Dark Knight Rises
GQ: I remember one scene where we see his face covered in bandages, is this what you’re referring to?
Lindy Hemming: Well, if you look at the film, unless they’ve cut it—and I’m sure they haven’t—there’s a whole early section for Tom Hardy where he’s fighting and being taunted by people. He’s got chains on him, and he’s standing on a wooden thing while people are attacking him. And in that scene, he’s wearing a much more ragged, primitive version of the mask.
GQ: I think that Bane scene must’ve been cut…
Lindy Hemming: Well that’s an awful shame, but I suppose you have to cut things. I won’t elaborate on it too much, because it isn’t in the film, but there was another section that showed you why he had the mask and where it came from.
