So far, the votes are neck and neck. The next cover of Empire Magazine is going to show either Batman (Christian Bale) or Bane (Tom Hardy) one of the two main characters from “The Dark Knight Rises.” However, the voting public must vote on who they want to see.

You can vote on which cover you want to see at Comic Book Movie, simply by clicking on the cover you want to see published. As of right now, it would seem that people are more ready to see Bane since Batman is going to be the same, technically. Everyone wants to see the full frontal picture of Bane, and from the silhouette, it would appear that a full frontal picture is what people will see if it wins the vote. If you want to see Bane, make sure to vote!

“The Dark Knight Rises” is directed by Christopher Nolan and is supposed to be the last in the highly-lauded Nolan-verse “Batman” movie series. The film also stars Michael Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake Marion and Josh Pence as Ra’s Al Ghul. The film is expected to come to theaters July 20, 2012.
