LEGO Releases the Dark Knight Rises Characters

— July 17, 2012 — Pop Culture
With The Dark Knight Rises release in a matter of days, these mini-figure Batman and Bane LEGO characters couldn’t be more perfect. These awesome characters were released at the San Diego Comic Con.

The mini-figures are intricately designed and have almost all the same costume detailing as the actual film apparel. These LEGO characters were created to be a much less comic-like depiction of Batman and instead, went in the same direction as The Dark Knight Rises.

Batman of course has his mask, cape and utility belt, while Bane is dressed in his anesthetic mouth mask and vest. However, it looks like this Bane isn’t quite as bulked up as the one in the film.

This series is efinitely a fun gift for fans of The Dark Knight Rises of all ages.
