The freakish costume, mask, and Venom-pumping apparatus that he wears also help serve to give him a psychological advantage over the civilian targets of his attacks.

In the film The Dark Knight Rises, he was one of the masterminds of a Ra's al Ghul style scheme to destroy the city of Gotham a scheme that almost succeeded.īane is a highly skilled and dangerous hand-to-hand fighter, though it is doubtful that without Venom, he would have much chance of defeating Batman in a purely physical fight.īane's most famous abilities are the greatly enhanced strength and invulnerability that he gets by pumping Venom into his system shortly before or during a fight.

In the comics, he was one of a handful of villains to deduce that Batman's other identity was Bruce Wayne. Bane fell unconscious and was taken to prison.īane later teamed up with Killer Croc, Blockbuster, and Solomon Grundy to steal a gold statue which they were defeated by Captain Marvel, disguised as Batman.īane is unusually intelligent and strategic in his thought processes (much more so than his appearance and his use of Venom would indicate). The tubes split, and Venom spilled over the electrical railroad tracks, which gave Bane a large electrical shock. Bane quickly disposed of Wildcat and attempted to break Batman’s back (again), but Wildcat picked up one of Batman’s batarangs and threw it at one of Bane’s Venom tubes. Wildcat continued to mock Bane and Batman until Bane used Venom to become a giant, super-strong, monster. At first, Wildcat was amused that Batman needed his help with Bane (who was not on Venom at the moment, and appeared, to Wildcat's eyes, to be easy to defeat). Batman’s sidekick took his place for a while, before Bane was defeated.īatman: The Brave and the Bold introduced Bane in a teaser story where he is being trailed in a subway station by Batman and Wildcat. He traveled to Gotham City and fought Batman and won by breaking Batman’s spine. He then used a drug called Venom which increased his strength, speed and stamina. When he was picked for a military experiment he lived where others had died. In prison, he trained his mind and body and developed intense powers of concentration. Bane was raised in a South American prison, serving his father's life sentence. Bane will forever be known as the man who broke the Batman in the comics (and in the live-action movie The Dark Knight Rises).
