Psychopath Communication Masks

The ThinkGeek Bane Mask Walkie Talkie Will Have You Mouth-Breathing

— April 2, 2013 — Life-Stages
For all of those kids who love to dress up like their favorite caped crusader in black, this stunningly realistic Bane Mask Walkie Talkie made by the diabolically playful folks at ThinkGeek is sure to fulfill all those with serious anti-hero needs.

Most remember Bane as the hulking beast bad guy who followed around Poison Ivy and other smarter villains in the Batman comic books, but it wasn’t until Tom Hardy reprized this masked mad man in 2012’s the Dark Knight Rises that fans, young and old, got a newfangled appreciation for this brawny, psychotic villain.

The great thing about the Bane Mask Walkie Talkie is that it comes equipped with a voice-changing component so that you can actually sound like this unforgettable villain too. Strapping to your head just like Bane’s head wear in The Dark Knight Rises, you better get ready to feel closer to this evil genius than ever before.
