Dave Bautista as Bane

With all the news circulating Dave Bautista’s attempt to take on the roles of Bane in Matt Reeves’s The Batman, I wanted to create a concept of what he might look like. 
But, pertaining to why he wasn’t cast, Bane was never in The Batman so there wouldn’t be a need for Bautista in the movie. If Bane is in the sequel, I’m sure Bautista will be at the top of the front runner list. 
I went with a unique and more realistic look that I thought fit the tone of Reeves’s Batman. His mask his only the respirator that sprays vaporized venom into his mouth and nose while the tubes (attached to a tank on his back) pump the venom directly into his veins. As a side effect to the venom, his eyes turn and seemingly glow red. As a nod to his iconic mask, the white eye design is painted on like war paint. I kept Bautista’s tattoos because it reflects Bane’s upbringing in Peña Dura.
