IS NOT just about all the explosions! BAM! POW! to actor Tom Hardy playing a giant villain Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises."
One of the scenes are still stuck in his mind.
Hardy as Bane rises above the Batmobile to rally a crowd of prisoners escaped - and then immediately crumpled.
The actor, who packed on 30 pounds of muscle for the movie, passed out in the scorching summer.
"I wore a gray coat and the length of my body armor," he told The News the world premiere of the final Monday at wilting epic "Dark Knight" Christopher Nolan's trilogy.
"It's not that different from the weather today. Anyway, I passed out. I am aware of for some afternoon."
Besides a brief setback, however, not much stands in the way of Hardy.
Instead of exhausting physical training.
Instead formed a tight mask to his face, that Bane uses to continue to pump gas to reduce the pain if not crippling.
And not a shadow of Heath Ledger's Academy Award winning performance as the end of the last arch-enemy of Batman, Joker, in 2008 that "The Dark Knight."
Nolan and screenwriter, Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer, deliberately choose Bane as the villain because he is so very different from the Joker.
While Goyer told Empire magazine that some studio executives suggest Riddler from the beginning, the filmmakers are not interested in becoming derivative.
Where the Joker wanted to mess with Batman's head, trying to tear it from the shoulder Bane superhero.
These are criminals, created by Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench and artist Graham Nolan, who rocked the world of comic book fans' debuted in 1993 with Batman during a fight broke again.
"Bane is the first enemy that you know can physically destroy Batman," said the Dark Knight himself, actor Christian Bale.
Although he soon became a name on the lips of millions of moviegoers, it turns out the creator of the comic book character Venom originally planned on calling him - until the editor called back with bad news.
"We are embarrassed to find out Spider-Man has a high profile villain named Venom," Moench said. "We do not know. Chuck pulled the thesaurus and found" Bane "is a synonym for poison and it's a name that sounds good."
A name that sounds good for muscle intimidator who looks Mexican wrestling ring directly. Which unfortunately does not look that translates well to the big screen. (Exhibit A is a cartoon Bane played by Jeep Swenson, and fortunately with little screen time, in 1997's "Batman & Robin.")
Hardy version will be much, much different.
"Free Mask Lucha? Nolan said ignore it, I have an idea," said Hardy, laughing. "The idea is to take a lateral, and I do not wear a mask Lucha and I'm not wearing Lycra pants."
With or without Lycra pants, Hardy trained continuously for four months to fill the costume before the cameras start rolling on "The Dark Knight Rises."
"Tom is one actor who is a transformative actor," says producer Emma Thomas. "When we do a costume fitting for Bane, for example, he would come - and this before he had put a lot of bulk - he would go in and he looks quite slim and trim ... then he will hold his body in different ways and rather stick to the gut out, do something with his shoulder and suddenly you'll see exactly what he would do.
