I already blogged about Bane's Right-Hand Man aka Barsad. Now, I bring your attention to another one of Bane's Boys. A character who is simply credited as "Hooded Man #2" on IMDB.
The opening IMAX sequence for The Dark Knight Rises has become pretty iconic to Batman and film fans by now. As you may recall, Bane purposely had himself get caught along with two of his men and we are introduced to them with their faces covered with black hoods. Then, they destroy a whole airplane and it looked nuts/epic on the big screen.
At the end of this exciting scene, Hooded Man #2 was about to make his escape with his fellow terrorists when Bane puts a hand on his shoulder and stopped him.
"They expect one of us in the wreckage, brother."
"Have we started the fire?"
"Yes. The fire rises."
That is the last we see of Hooded Man #2 as he gallantly sacrifices his life for a cause that fails at the end of the film... kind of sucks for him. But at least he didn't have to know that he died for nothing.
Still, not only was Hooded Man #2 a handsome feller, I thought his short-lived character was brave nonetheless. Not that I advocate terrorist actions and feelings but you gotta either be mentally unstable or you just really, really, really believe in something that you are willing to die for it. How many of us can claim to have had that feeling?
Hooded Man #2 was played by a Aliash Tepina, a Slovenian actor (according to Wikipedia)... hence the cute little accent when he says his one single but very important line in the movie. We salute you and your unsung character. At least Batman didn't get to punch you in the face.
