When The Fighter premiered last year, Lionsgate was sitting on Warrior , another “fighter” film about the deeply rooted rivalry between two working-class brothers. Directed by Gavin O’C onnor ( Miracle ), the action drama features burgeoning stars Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy (both of whom force fed themselves chicken and trained brutally to attain realistically rock hard MMA physiques) and Nick Nolte as their recovering alcoholic father who so desperately seeks their forgiveness. In anticipation of this gritty Sept. 9 release, O’C onnor and his stars Nolte, Edgerton, Hardy and Jennifer Morrison gathered Friday at the Los Angeles press conference to discuss Warrior , their upcoming big budget projects ( Dark Knight Rises and The Great Gatsby ) and in the case of Nolte, Katharine Hepburn’s affinity for drunks and the enduring social message of his ’80s Eddie Murphy comedy 48 Hours .

That’s cool, but who the eff is Bane?” So, for those not in the know — and for those who did themselves a great service and never watched 1997’s Batman & Robin — let’s take a look a five things that you probably don’t know about the other new Batman villain, Bane.
