>>213409474>but why did he say you're a big guy at all?CIA assumes Bane is talking about himself, so he says "you're a big guy", meaning "you're tough enough to handle the pain"
Then bane reveals that it would actually be painful for CIA should he attempt to remove the mask, not bane himself.
CIA making the false assumption is what makes it a great exchange conceptually, if he had just said "it would be painful?" there would be no reversal of power and it would be boring
