Evolution of Bane in Cartoons, Movies & TV in 16 Minutes (2019)

So, in the comics when does he use his "incredible intellect"?

I agree, I love the Bane character of The Dark Knight Rises but I just wish that he had more Bane elements. Even Bane in the comics became a successor to Ra’s Al Ghul, I might be wrong

[@FlashmanJW]

@@aquarius4884 He outmaneuvered Batman in Knightfall. He's the 2nd notable person to know Batman is Bruce Wayne. He also was able to beat Ra's al Ghul in chess despite never playing; even Ra's said he had the finest mind he's ever seen and Bane was able to deceive Ra's and Talia to the point that even Ra's wanted him as his heir. He was the strategist for the Secret Six. And in Batman Rebirth, it's shown that Bane is really diabolical when it comes to psychological warfare and manipulation. He is shown to have a photographic memory, able to speak up to 14 languages, classically educated and erudite, is a brilliant strategist, learned how to fight and created his own styles, created his own workout routine that maximized his physique, etc.

[@FlashmanJW]

@@xeviinwonder No, he didn't become the successor. Ra's wanted him to be, but Talia was too interested in Bruce.

But when Batman attacks his forteress in "I am Suicide" to take the Psycho-Pirate back for himself (long story), Bane reverts back to Venom in "City of Bane", and hasn't stopped using it since that time IIRC In his final fight against Batman, Bruce even has to trick him into not using Venom so he would have a shot at taking him out.

Most people were not impressed by the first pictures. Even after the film came out, and he became a fan favorite, a big chunk of the fanbase just never warmed up to him. Funny how his version still stuck, he is still very popular nowadays. His voice in particular was very memeable.
