5.Batman and Robin (1997)
5.Bane not only survives but is mentally and physically strengthened by a childhood in a hellish prison on the corrupt island nation of Santa Prisca.Although his dependency on Venom is an immense weakness, Bane has been one of Batman's most intelligent and physically powerful foes.Although primarily a villain, Bane is a complex character and has worked to take down drug lords.Despite their history, he has sometimes had Batman's financial backing and direct assistance.Dixon wrote the character's first appearance (Vengeance of Bane), with art by Graham Nolan.In the pages of Azrael, O'Neil introduced Bane's perception of Venom as both an addiction and the weakness responsible for his earlier defeats.The link between Bane and King Snake was introduced by writer Scott Beatty.Background
The origin of Bane has similarities with another fictional character, the Alexandre Dumas's Count of Monte Cristo.Duro, an infamous prison located in Santa Prisca.Bane murders this priest upon his return to Santa Prisca years later.However, he commits his first murder at the age of eight, stabbing a criminal who wanted to use him to gain information about the prison.During his years in prison, Bane carries a teddy bear he calls Osito (Spanish for "little bear"), whom he considers his only friend.The prison's controllers take note and, eventually, force him to become a test subject for a mysterious drug known as Venom, which had killed all other subjects.His ambition turns to destroying Batman, whom he had heard tales of while serving his sentence.He is fascinated with Gotham City as, like the prison, it is a place where fear ruled: in this case, fear of Batman.Bane is convinced that the demonic bat that haunted his dreams since childhood is a representation of the Batman.Aware that a direct assault on Batman would be foolish, Bane destroys the walls of Arkham Asylum, allowing its deranged inmates to escape into Gotham City, where Batman spends three months rounding them up.Running himself to exhaustion, Batman returns to Wayne Manor, where Bane awaits him.Paul also refuses to recognize Robin as his partner.Utilizing a sophisticated combat suit in place of the traditional Batman uniform, he fights and defeats Bane at the end of the "Knightfall" arc, severing the tubes that pump the Venom into Bane's bloodstream, causing severe withdrawal.Valley then gives the weakened Bane a vicious beating, leaving him alive but broken.Legacy
Following the events of "Knightfall", Bane recovers from his Venom addiction while serving time in prison, as seen in Vengeance of Bane II: The Redemption (1995).Following a victory over the criminals, Bane proclaims that he is "innocent" of his past crimes and urges Batman to stop hunting him.He then leaves Gotham (without fighting Batman) to begin a search for his father.Bane's search brings him back to Santa Prisca (shown in the Bane of the Demon miniseries published in 1998).While searching for the Swiss in Rome, Bane encounters Ra's al Ghul's daughter Talia.Talia introduces Bane to her father, and eventually Bane impresses Ra's so much that he chooses Bane as his heir (an "honor" he had previously imparted on Batman).Ra's al Ghul and Bane then launch a plague attack on Gotham in the "Legacy" storyline.Since then, whenever Batman and Bane square off in battle, their fights usually end in a draw.He then surfaces in the story arc "No Man's Land", serving as an enforcer for Lex Luthor.Bane's biological father is an American doctor.In researching this issue, Bane comes to the conclusion that he and Batman share Dr.Wayne having apparently become close to Bane's mother during his time in Santa Prisca.Wayne is not Bane's father, and Bane leaves Gotham peacefully (and with Batman's blessing and financial backing) to pursue leads in the snowy mountains of Kanchenjunga.Bane, with Batman looking on, helps foil King Snake's plans to unleash a powerful weapon upon the world.Bane saves Batman from being shot by King Snake, but is mortally wounded in the process.Batman then saves Bane by bathing him in a Lazarus Pit, and leaves him with a clean slate and a new opportunity at life.Bane is shown fighting alongside the villains during the Battle of Metropolis.Infinite Crisis's collected edition, one of the many changes made to the original series was Bane saying "I finally know who I am.To win their trust, he tells them how, prior to the Battle of Metropolis, he returned to his homeland to put an end to the drug lords' government, in the process discovering that a new, more addicting strain of Venom had been created.Bane was forced to work as an enforcer for the drug cartel, unable to escape.Believing that Bane sought Rex Tyler's expertise in chemistry, Rick lets him approach his father, only to discover that the story is a ruse.Bane, who had never truly been addicted to Venom, had in fact wiped out the drug lords, and destroyed every research note on Venom.Rick and Rex eventually subdue Bane, burying the mercenary in the rubble of the very same Santa Priscan penitentiary where his story began.Eventually Bane resurfaces in Santa Prisca, leading the country to democratic elections.Upon discovering that the elections were rigged by Computron, he uses his influence to enforce martial law, plunging the country into a civil war.He fights Bane in order to allow Fire to escape, defeating him easily, but chooses not to kill him.Bane has joined the Suicide Squad.Bane was tricked by his fellow squad members, and sent to the prison planet.Bane remains with Lex Luthor's faction after Joker's faction rebells against Luthor's leadership.Bane is also highly intelligent; in "Bane of the Demon", Ra's al Ghul says that Bane "has a mind equal to the greatest he has known".The "Bane of the Demon" storyline reveals that he has a photographic memory.In prison, Bane also invents his own form of calisthenics, meditation, and a unique fighting style.Bane from The New Batman Adventures.Mystery of the Batwoman, in which he was voiced by Hector Elizondo).In these depictions, Bane never achieves what his comics counterpart does: the defeat of Batman.The producers were reluctant to utilize him (along with Doomsday in the Superman Animated Series) because they felt that their comics incarnations were both too gimmicky.Bane first appears in Batman: The Animated Series as a muscular assassin hired by the mobster Rupert Thorne to eliminate Batman, and in turn by Thorne's moll to eliminate Thorne afterward.Bane fights Batman onboard the boat where Robin is kidnapped and bound, and nearly defeats him; before Bane can break Batman's back, however, Batman thrusts a crumpled batarang into the controls that inject Bane with Venom.This causes a rapid and uncontrollable feed into Bane's body before Batman pulls out the tube, stopping a fatal overdose of the drug, but leaving him thoroughly beaten.In the first one, "Knight Time", Bruce Wayne is brainwashed by Brainiac, and in order to find him, Robin teams up with Superman.During the episode, they ambush a meeting between Bane, Mad Hatter, and The Riddler.Bane attacks "Batman", shocked and surprised that he can't hurt him at all.Superman smiles and beats him into unconsciousness.Gordon even goes to the lengths of contracting Bane to capture Batman.Bane restructures the deal once he is freed, preferring to kill Batman rather than capture him.Bane later appears in the animated movie Mystery of the Batwoman in which The Penguin hires him as an enforcer during an arms deal.At the end of the movie, Bane falls to his apparent death into a pit of fire after a fight with Batman, although his appearance in Batman Beyond makes it clear that he survived the fall.Bane reappears in the Batman Beyond episode "The Winning Edge", which is set 40 years later.McGinnis hits a box of the slappers, which fall on the caretaker and sticks to his body, pumping him with even greater amounts until he collapses.Bane, as he appeared in Batman and Robin.In the 1997 movie Batman and Robin, Bane was portrayed by wrestler Jeep Swenson.He is again a convict, but this time he is turned into Bane by Dr.At the climax of the scene, Antonio can be heard screaming loudly through the mask, as he begins to change and grows into his sagging costume, and becomes what Woodrow names as Bane.Bane is barely even capable of speech and uses growls, roars, and snarls for most of his communication.In the film's climax, Robin and Batgirl kick out Bane's venom tube as their monstrous assailant attempts to strangle them.As the Venom leaves his body, he shrinks back to his original size.Freeze are arrested in the end, Bane's ultimate fate is not shown at the end of the film.This depiction of the character was one of many aspects of the film which received harsh criticism from fans and critics alike.Bane towering over The Batman.In The Batman, Bane appears as a hitman and professional thief voiced by Joaquim de Almeida ("Traction") and Ron Perlman ("Team Penguin").In this rendition, he is even more monstrous in size and strength, and injures Batman in the first encounter.Bane's steroid injection unit is a system of tubes which stretch around his body, activated by a dial on his hand.In the episode "Traction", Batman rams an exposed electrical wire into Bane's Venom applier.After the resulting electrocution, Bane collapses under the strain.In "Team Penguin", Batman's electrocution of his tubes causes a chain reaction which shocks him senseless.He later made minor appearances in the fourth season of the show, in the episodes Rumors and The Joining, Part 2.Video games
