* CareerResurrection: Creator/TomHardy had previously suffered a downturn in the early 2000's when ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'' crashed and burned upon its release, but was slowly rebuilding his career with his critically hailed performance in ''Film/{{Bronson}}'' and his supporting role in Nolan's previous hit film ''Film/{{Inception}}''. His performance as Bane, which garnered similar praise for his bodybuilding work in ''Bronson'' (see DyeingForYourArt), while also pushing him to the fore of the film as its BigBad compared to his minor presence in ''Inception'', helped truly revitalize his career for good.
