Parting Shot: Bat-Bane Is The Hero Gotham Deserves

In one of those "I can't believe none of us thought to do this sooner" moments, one fan of The Dark Knight Rises has merged the masks of Batman and Bane. In an ideal world, Christian Bale would put this on and combine his Dark Knight voice with the dulcet tones of Tom Hardy's Bane, leading to roughly 10 billion "such a lovely, lovely voice" jokes on the internet.Tom Howell, who made the Bat-Bane cowl, merged the two by using hand-painted latex masks. He's currently selling them on Etsy, for about $163, to anyone interested in having what would be by far the best costume at whatever Halloween party they attend next year.

And you have about 11 months to work on your Christian Bale/Tom Hardy mash-up voice.
