Because Nolan generally likes people who can act, and not in that special "he acts well for a wrestler" way. HEH? 1. That wasn't exactly a large role. 2. He's been in quite a lot. He's more of an actor than a wrestler at this point.

I don't think Kane would make a bad Bane.
Thats Bane'esc in a way and Kane pulled it off pretty well IMO.

I know him more as "President of Earth from The Fifth Element" than "Zeus"

Because BANE KANE would look really silly in the cast listing during the end credits.

Because he's not that good of an actor.
Don't get me wrong, for a wrestler, Kane's got quite good acting chops; but that's a far cry from someone you want to put in a billion dollar franchise.

I've been thinking Kane would make a great Jason Vorhees though

because Tom Hardy's a great actor who can pull off big and imposing (seriously go watch Bronson) and Kane's a pro wrestler whose only acting credit is freaking See No Evil, which was terrible. just because a wrestler looks the part doesn't mean he's right for it (see Triple H's bid to be Thor, people insisting Brock Lesnar should have been Venom).

I have not seen the new Batman movie, or read spoilers, but isn't Bane a great heel for Batman because he had a tragic early life, just like Bruce. He was a brilliant tactician, that is helped by the Venom to defeat Batman. Does he have Venom in the movie?

I think he will, but it's not like he relies on Venom. he just uses it to give him a boost if he can't outsmart the guy or beat him with his base abilities.

I dunno, I think John Cena looks the part and would be perfect for the next Superman movie. {Spoiler}As Bibbo.

There'd be 52 Bane face/heel turns during the movie? Just like in 'real' life. Batman and Bane fight. Batman and Bane fight thugs together. Bane tells Batman to embrace the hate and tortures him for a few months Batman and Bane tag team Batman and Bane face off in a ladder match

Because Tom Hardy is a fantastic actor, who will do an amazing job as Bane. While Kane would just be a tall, bald dude. I love Kane, but he'd be so awful in a mainstream movie where he actually has to act. Just the facts. This. because Tom Hardy's a great actor who can pull off big and imposing (seriously go watch Bronson) and Kane's a pro wrestler whose only acting credit is freaking See No Evil, which was terrible. just because a wrestler looks the part doesn't mean he's right for it (see Triple H's bid to be Thor, people insisting Brock Lesnar should have been Venom). And this. Because Nolan generally likes people who can act, and not in that special "he acts well for a wrestler" way. And this for making me LOL. Kane cannot act. Plus, having the stigma of a wrestler associated with a franchise as huge and serious as Batman in 2012 is just killer from a marketing perspective. It sucks, but them's the apples of our entertainment. A boxer or MMA guy as Bane would probably generate more immediate credibility.

Not a bad idea, but I think Vader would be even better-not as tall, but stockier, and can pull off either the new mask design, or the original, traditional wrestler's mask. Vader is way too hefty and squat for the part compared to Bane, who is large but has no spare tire around the belly.
