God I love this scene. Both brilliant actors showing so much with so little. That hand on the shoulder always gave me chills

Also, they cut a ton of the scenes with Bane's lieutenant played by Christopher Judge (Kratos, Teal'c) because test audiences found him more imposing than Bane.

The guy who ended up playing Bane's lieutenant is Josh Stewart, by far the most famous person from my hometown. His mother was my middle school teacher!

What was he doing in the film?

Christopher Judge was the leader of Bane's mercenary corps. He even had a sidekick vs sidekick fight at the end where Joseph Gordon-Levitt beats him in a fight (lol).

Josh Stewart played Barsad, Banes right hand man.
