Supervillain Origins: Bane

[@foolishfire4784]

People forget that Bane is actually an intelligent and calculating assassin and not some lumbering oaf.

[@jakebryant3445]

Ikr he's my favorite batman villain and in my opinion a much more dangerous villain than the Joker as blasphemous as it sounds

[@namminh3757]

+Jake Bryant (The Rouge Owl) Bane maybe smart, but the Joker is a crime genius. Joker once hired Bane to kill Batman, and they doesnt seem to hate each other

[@kyleschneider9008]

True, he is praised as one of the most intellectual villains in Gotham, having photo graphic memory (despite being impossible in real life), and resources from the black market, he could've been the most dangerous villain in Gotham. What he lacks, however, is a reason to BE that big bad villain. Yeah, he wants to "break the bat", but compared to joker, batman seems to be a side thing for him (even though comics and movies depict him as obsessed with batman). Something better would be finding his father, and that might be why you don't see him a lot in comics or movies as anything other than a "Side brute". Meant to be taken down relatively soon.

[@ryanarment5393]

Jake Bryant i agree. While the Joker is the antithesis to Batman. Bane is physically and mentally more than a match for Batman.

[@th3gps223]

It's not blasphemous, it's the truth. Joker couldn't harm Batman in any way even if he wanted to without the use of weapons.

Tom hardy bane was basass

[@omi807]

Frost knight gaming go and watch pogo😂

[@Lalaxbo]

Bane is so badass and very intelligent! That is why Bane is one of my favorite Batmanvillains because he is a challenge for Batman both mentally and psychically and he even found out Batman's secret identity really quick . Tom Hardy nailed the role of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises :) , he was just awesome in the movie.

[@mountaindew3201]

lalaxbo YES

[@Raul-wd1jb]

Just saying cuz everyone keeps insulting Jeep Swensen’s Bane if it came to a fight with Tom Hardy Bane, Jeep would snap Tom Hardy like a toothpick

[@greenlightcomics7602]

But I hated the fact they took off his venom implant. It would’ve been cooler to see him grow bigger and stronger.

[@codster9]

He's obsessed with breaking things. Breaking out of prison. Breaking the Batman. Breaking character in _Batman & Robin_.

[@puskyminecraft8416]

[@KenSamaGomenasai]

you forgot to mention that he's actually a supergenius to boot :P He knows 6 modern languages fluently, as well as the languages of Arcane and the Dead. Ra's Al Ghul stated that he's as brilliant a mind as he's ever encountered, and was so impressed that he proclaimed Bane as his heir.

[@iHuzza]

I think Bane was the only person to find out Batman's true identity, but I remember a similar storyline but with Hugo Strange instead? Though can't Batman destroy Bane in an even fight with no advantages/ disadvantages on the part of either (Ignoring the Nolan films and the Knightfall storyline)?

[@KenSamaGomenasai]

iHuzza Hugo Strange's whole thing is always based on him knowing who Batman actually is, but aside from Hugo Strange and Bane, Ra's Al Ghul and Talia Al Ghul know is true identity. Ra's is the leader of the league of assassins, which trained Batman and eventually recruited Bane. Talia wants Bruce Wayne's D

[@iHuzza]

haha well explained :p thanks!!

[@gabestein1377]

Ken Sama martial arts too

[@Mrkarate9]

Bane's father was British, his mother was Hispanic, he was born in Guantanamo Bay/Cuba. He's Cuban. Obviously they changed the name of the country in the comic since DC doesn't use real cities/location names most of the time.

[@Xehanort10]

+Ivanhoe Aleaga Diaz Yep. Bane's dad was a British martial artist and drug lord called Sir Edmund Dorrance who called himself King Snake.

[@americanliberal09]

And, what's wrong not using real locations?

[@gabestein1377]

Ivanhoe Aleaga Diaz specifically he's a combination of South American and Cuban (mom, not Hispanic) British (dad) and Caribbean

[@Moodboard39]

Should spoken Spanish

[@marvinstheman88]

Bane's origin story in Knightfall is some of the greatest writing that has been done in comic books.

[@OneUltimateWarrior]

Its really interesting when you look at the two versions of Bane: In The Dark Knight Rises, a physically deteriorated Batman whose been out of action for almost a decade gets his ass kicked by Bane, who cheats by using a pain neutralizing device, in his sewers lair. I prefer this version as it was as close to a straight up loss as you can get.Plus it made Bane a likeable villain by being such a badass. In Knighfall, a dead tired Batman, who spent the night rounding up a bunch of escaped criminals, is confronted by Bane at the Wayne mansion. Like a lion pouncing upon a wounded gazelle, Bane defeats Batman in easy fasion, but what made it even worse was that he threw many insults as well as b*tchslapped his opponent before crippling him. From a villain's standpoint, it was a brilliant move. From the other side, Bane was the ultimate coward. I think the comic book did everything it could to make you hate Bane. At least tried to.

[@stannisuncle7677]

The Bane in dark knight rises was pretty lame actually he wasn't much of a badass at all

[@spencermalley10]

Ricky Cross Compared to how hes portrayed in the Arkham Games, He was the epitome of badass.

[@stannisuncle7677]

Spencer Malley Ahh so you haven't played Arkham origins ? Or read the comics perhaps ?

[@zmoneytmnt]

Ricky Cross They portrayed him horribly in the first two arkham games. DKR made bane popular again and thats why they made him better in Orgins.

[@reinaldomartinez13]

you can look at him in many ways but he is a genius

[@phraz101]

I thought Nolan's take on Bane was so much more interesting than the comic book counter-part and previous movie's. Nolan's Bane retains some believability whilst making him truly dominating and intimidating. A character doesn't have to be CGI-HUGE to have an imposing and dangerous presence, and I think Tom Hardy did a really good job. Regardless of how tall or big he is in real life, it wasn't an issue in the film and I didn't even realise until I saw these comments.

[@echernaut]

Bane is actually more of an anti hero than a villain in the comics. He only broke Batman's back to get rid of the psychological trauma brought onto him in the prison he grew up in. Fear rules. He figured if he took down the one big player whom all the criminals feared, all the criminals would fear him and that's what he wanted. After Bruce Wayne's back healed they became pretty good pals. Even teamed up a few times. Pretty awesome.

[@iamaninsomniac]

[@shadeie6395]

Bane and the Joker are my favorite batman villains. I'm glad they made Bane more realistic and serious in the dark knight rises

[@smackarel7]

The thing that makes Bane more dangerous than the average Batman villain is that he has the sanity and intelligence to match his power. He always has a plan which he follows through.

[@BroadwayRonMexico]

He's a big guy

[@MrKirbymaniac1]

For you.

[@appatheskybison1846]

The guy in the plane says says "if I pull that off will you die" and he replies "it would be extremely painful" the guy then says "you're a big guy" and Bane says "for you" at first I thought that he meant he was big to him by comparison but I think he meant "it would be extremely painful for you" meaning that if the guy in the plane took off his mask he would face the consequences.

[@jrr7031]

"Torture?" "YES......but not of your body.." breath....breath....,"Of your soul..." My favorite of Banes comprehensable lines in that movie. Cant understand him sometimes....Watch Cinemasins on Dark knight Rises, you will get it.

You guys forgot to mention that in the time of Batman Beyond, Bane is now an old man due to using Venom for so many years. He entrusted the formula to his caretaker and he used it to cash in by selling it in small doses as a steroid.

[@grabblez7209]

He's a big guy.

[@MrProp16]

to the guys saying that dkr bane was shit. shut up tom hardy was great as bane and they had no way to make the venom serum look realistic and that woulda just pissed off more fans. it coulda been as bad as the one from batman and robin. and you mess with the cast you mess with the crew and the fans. besides the super soldier stuff in films at the moment is and right now should be left for captain america

[@chaosPneumatic]

I liked Nolan's Bane, but we have real life chemicals that make people stronger with bad side effects. So venom isn't that unrealistic.

[@MrProp16]

evilmick66 true but people might have seen drugs like venom in a film and then go get something that is like it but will seriously damage them

[@mitherapeuticmassage]

What are you talking about? Tom Hardy is fine actor, and I agree he played the part well enough. But they absolutely have the technology to put venom tubes into him realistically. They could have even turned him into a huge beast of a man with CGI. The second Hulk movie proved that, and that movie is a few years old. The mask they picked for Bane to wear I think was stupid, but I'd be okay with it if I could have understood half of what he was saying. I mean, come on, Darth Vader didn't have that problem and that is from 1975. Also, why did he sound like Sean Connery? The Dark Knight Rises was a total miss for me. Bruce Wayne became a recluse and didn't return to running Wayne Enterprises after Batman was no longer needed? What?!?! That was way out of character. Alfred's dream for Bruce was also out of character. Bane holding the city hostage for months while Bruce heals and goes through physical therapy, doesn't make any sense. The movie just didn't live up to the first two.

[@akkalat85]

Jeffrey Glebe But you must ask yourself, in the narrative that is "The Dark Knight Rises", would the inclusion of Venom do anything to advance the plot? Its inclusion would have done much more harm than good. That's why movie adaptions of comics must find their own footing. What works in comics doesn't always work on the big screen. Just look at "Batman and Robin".

[@jerelkelly5891]

Jeffrey Glebe The only reason Vader didn't have that problem was because the guy that actually played Vader wasn't the same guy talking. James Earl Jones was the voice actor for Vader.

[@mar2fire]

Bane is my fourth favorite Batman villain. I'll love to see him on the big screen again in Ben Affleck's new Batman movie franchise.

[@adamkieswetter8589]

What, no Tom Hardy love? So menacing in DK Rises, "there's gotta be a clip back there!"

[@dbungus2000]

tell me about bane! why does he wear the mask!?

[@DeltaMetroid1]

To hide his identity probably.

[@Fat_Panda_Gamer]

It's a Lucha Libre mask, Mexican wrestlers wear them and Bane is usually Mexican in his various incarnations.

[@igligjoka3194]

it feeds his brain directly

[@Fat_Panda_Gamer]

Igli Gjoka It's just a mask, there's nothing special about it. The tube in his skull is what feeds the Venom into his brain.

if i took it off would he die?

[@douglassnyder9206]

I say that Bane shouldn't have made an appearance in a Batman movie from the 90s since he was still a new character around the time. The same could even be said when he appeared in Batman: The Animated Series, coarse that episode could have been made a lot better than being a rushed episode. So I say that there could be a modified adaptation of Knightfall as a two-part, DC animated movie in the near future.

[@nickymo]

I think it made more sense to tie in Bane with Talia and the League of Shadows in the Dark Knight Rises. It wouldn't have felt quite as gratifying to introduce him as a villain of happenstance for the final movie in the trilogy, it made sense to make him have something to do with Batman prior to the beginning of the story.

[@TwesomE]

(SPOILER ALLERT!) Actually i read most recently nightfall volume one and the reason that chased batman was not that he had nightmares of a dark creature.Bane saw batman as a chalenge because his companion bird told him inside the prison that gotham ruled by him,and bane obsesed with the fact that could be the ruller of gotham start chasing him.Actually i hated bane a litle due to the fact he didn't have a direct aproach in bats and first make him tyred in order to fight with him.And for that reason i think he was somewhat a coward,and from the other he think this pretty smart to trap the bat.And i have mixed feelings for him hate him and at the same time like the way he thinks.

[@allseeingeye4886]

I think it was more like strategy than cowardice, I mean would you want to take on the bat while he's at full strength?

[@TwesomE]

Matthew Bowman Well to be fair no thats why i like bane as well,he thought really well what he must do before duel bats.

[@TooCooFoYou]

***** Defeats the whole purpose of what you said.

[@TwesomE]

***** As i said i like and hate the guy for the way he thinks.

[@tyvonable]

[@alphabetman5927]

I am Bane

[@Zone3917]

@Cherry Stone comparing an ensemble sci-fi superhero film to a war crime thriller is just GENIUS.

[@incervialbi]

bane is also a genius level intellect. amd is probably one of the few villians who can probably beat batman not only in an arm wrestling competition, but any aptitude test. He's also very stealthy as hes portrait as an assassin in his earlier years. Definitely one of the most dangerous Batman Villains.

[@ultraskull9101]

[@nz034]

The Dark Knight Rises was basically Knightfall....Except it fuckin sucked balls. They should have stuck to that story line but instead it was just awful. Besides the first thirty minutes the movie was crap. Its a shame to cause Base could have been a great character.

[@TheKingofAwesome11]

I agree, I would totally choose old luchadore bane over the Dark knight version. Actually luchadore Bane wasn't always a muscle head, he was pretty smart at times.

[@knivesmillions2913]

TheKingofAwesome11 He was actually smart all the time

[@ananthusarat]

TheKingofAwesome11 Bane knows 7 languages and has an Idetic or Photographic memory so he is, in a way, one of the smartest prisoners in arkham and this is the guy you defeat in games by letting him run into walls xD

[@TheKingofAwesome11]

ananthusarat That's why Luchadore Bane rules! Also the reason you defeated him so easily was cause his Venom formula was replaced with the TITAN serum :D but it was fun!

[@ananthusarat]

Yeah :)

[@Solider7]

Now, I understand why people hated the Batman and Robin movie so much. That movie really did Bane dirty. I read the Prelude to Knightfall and saw what Bane went through growing up. He was screwed the moment he was born and really had to learn to survivor.

[@SamueITan]

He is to Batman as to Doomsday to Superman and Venom to Spiderman. Basically a Superior version of the hero.

[@lancertheimaginary8462]

Why doesn't bane use or take that venom In "The Dark Knight Rises" ?

[@hortator0767]

I didnt understand that either

[@jackhamilton9604]

+Professor Zoom apparently because it wouldn't have been realistic

[@ld4206]

+Jack Hamilton Plus bane doesn't need venom in the dark knight rises he picked batman like he was a plank of wood and broke his back on his knee who needs chemical steroids?

[@nickhill7072]

he needed venom but in TDNR he uses the helmet which stops the pain

[@americanliberal09]

That's the cinematic version which is set in another alternate universe, not the comic book one.

[@SALonghorn]

Talis wasn't his sister nor Ra's Al Ghul is father in any comic book or movie. In the TDKR, Talia was the girl rescued by Bane in the pit. Talia escaped the pit, found her father Ra's Al Ghul, and then returned to the pit to save Bane. But he was severely disfigured by the riot in the pit, and had to use the mask to hold back the pain.

[@Deathshuck]

The Batman & Robin Bane might have looked the part of what of what he did in the comics, but Nolan's Batman Trilogy is a mature adaptation with more realistic style, you can't really expect they were going to have a guy with a wrestling mask and tight pants running around. He might've looked different in Dark Knight Rises, but he was infinitely more stronger character, he had a intimidating presence, he was smart, calculating and a dangerous enemy, unlike the mindless brute in Batman & Robin.

[@firminobecker7400]

These origin videos are amazing , NEVER STOP 😁

[@zNEKOMARUz]

True they did stick to a lot of the original storyline, but what made Bane strong and able to do these things was the venom. That was the only reason he was able to break batman's back in the first place. Hell he took down Killer Croc with his bare hands in the comics cause of that stuff. I don't think he could have done that without the venom.

[@banebreakerofthebat5966]

I'm 1 of the greatest batman villains ever

[@drazilldee4099]

it couldve been Batista because he is more latino, tall, and has the intimidating look but we all know that tom hardy is an amazing actor and he already put up alot of muscles for the warrior and so i guess.. he is a good to get.

[@akilmanaz6972]

Bane's Batman's best villain - The most intelligent and physically strongest. I loved Tom Hardy's Bane - a realistic version, instead of what butt hurt people were expecting - Hulk-like, with venom and all. I was blown away the first time I saw TDKR Bane.

[@TheRicksay]

I have not watched the batman and Robin movie why deos everyone say that it sucks?

[@comicking428]

It's ironic when you think of it, in Batman and Robin, while they made Bane a complete idiot, they did give him his Venom powers and costume from the comics, in DKR, they gave him his intelligence and something close to his origins in the comics, but they didn't give him the costume and Venom powers.

[@PokemonTrainerChris303]

[@sunhengwu9028]

[@gabestein1377]

Sunheng Wú Tom's Bane was completely accurate other than luck

[@AnimuLLLL]

Bane was beaten by Batman not only because of "working out" but because of finding the determination within himself to beat him. Also, yes, he should've used more martial arts forms. Thats what Batman does. Wasn't written into the script that way. We got more of the street fighting/brutal techniques rather than a methodical/controlled heavily martial arts influenced fighting form. I see your points but it didn't bother me as much.

[@magicalgrim3471]

Bane is one of my favorites!❤️❤️

[@ajcruzer92]

i really did not like bane's voice in the dark knight rises, kinda ruined the movie for me...

[@jjbast]

I did. It gave the character some comic book feeling, plus show him as someone educated and not just a barbarian... I enjoyed the difference between his brutal fighting skills against his calmed voice with an accent... Kind of like Agent Smith in the Matrix.

[@Black2Canada]

Ask Nolan that question

[@OptimisticCynic]

he quit because gotham didnt need him any more, rachel only effected him by preventing him from living a normal life and instead making him a recluise hoping for batman to be needed again and yes bane was quit faithful hes a strong smart guy who breaks the bat, knows his identity, wears a mask and uses a substance that makes him hard to fight unless cut off aswell as being born in a prison so yeah more faithful than batman and robin.

[@GreatWolfGrimnar]

Yea I don't get why people hate on the Nolan Bane so much. Yea he didn't have the venom, but his personality was still accurate and he was still a friggin monster physically. Plus his mask fed him a gas that pretty much nullified any pain he felt.

[@FatalExistence]

Actually He got injured protecting natalia when she was in the prison he got greatly injured and became addicted to morphine the mask dispenses a type of anesthetic that keeps his pain just below the threshold so he can function. Which is why he goes all crazy and weak when batman breaks it.

[@milesprower2944]

bane > venom (spider man villain)

[@LifeFirst]

Aftter Bane joined The Secret Six he changed a little and became an "ally" of Batman and protected the streets of Gotham with Nightwing and Catwoman while Batman was dead.

[@michaelirish9578]

Tom Hardy did a great a job playing as Bane. Bane his a muscled head thug but very articalte and Tom Hardy was spot on with his personality

[@DeoMon1]

Bane was never "as dumb as a donkey" in the comics. He has always been a calculative villain to Batman. This is exactly why he is the first to expose Batman's vulnerability. Furthermore, the TDKR Bane is actually comparatively dumber than the comics Bane since the plan he acted on wasn't his own and it was essentially ruined by him suffering from the Idiot Ball and being Lovestruck dumb.

[@dorkywarrior]

Hate it when DC can't get the version of Bane correct, sometimes he's really tactical but looks like a normal built dude(Tom Hardy) then in animated TV shows, he's shown as a mindless brute, I just want DC to give him the best of both worlds and make a a good Bane

[@007legomaniac1]

i thought the same thing, but the result of crocs encounter with bane resulted in croc breaking quite a few bones...

[@jcsmooth70]

You should def do a video for Modok next! :)

"waaaaaahhhh!!! batman didnt swing on grapnel lines like a circus performer and didn't fight crime for years on end without ever getting significantly injured the way I wanted to see it!!!!! thesemovies were suppose to be for ME!!!! waaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@FlawlessLogicTube]

In a brawl? Yes. Deathstroke is a master tactician in combat. Like Batman, he relies heavily on constant training, weapons, and keeping his body at it's physical peak. Despite the fact that he has the ability to heal much faster than normal humans, he does not have any superpowers. Bane on the other hand is a "strategical" genius. Knowing that would be no match for Batman's combat experience, Bane chose to attack when Batman was at his weakest and used his augmented strength to incapacitate him.

[@00ghostcobra]

There is nothing unrealistic about steriods.. If Nolan was the genious that so many people claim that he is, then he could have found away to implement the Venom steroid in a way that it still managed to fit into his depiction of the character. Venom is a huge part of what Bane is. If Nolan couldn't understand that, then he should have used another villian for Darknight Rises...Black Mask maybe.

[@Scyllax]

The Bane of “The Dark Knight” appears to be a fusion of Bane and the bald, giant mute that Ras al’Ghul used to test Batman’s capabilities after he decided Batman/Bruce Wayne might be a worthy successor to him and perfect husband for Talia, back around 1970.

[@humanarychaospowerb.l27]

Bane sure is a really tough guy.

[@LuisAbreu90]

Secret Six Bane is best Bane portrayal. However, Knightfall is a close second.

[@LetsTakeWalk]

Oh GAWD, the use of the Batman & Robin footage .

[@Nightman221k]

It would have been so much better if Batman The Animated Series adapted his ACTUAL origin rather than simply making him a hired-hand of mob bosses like Rupert Thorne. The BTAS crew rarely struck out but man when they did it always left me wishing to see what it would have been like.

[@007legomaniac1]

in the movies yes, but in the comics its just a tube inserted to his brain via some sort of microchip, if you read Knightfall, you will see that he removes the mask constantly when he is alone.... almost constantly

[@incervialbi]

naa, youd now. It would be insinuated when he juiced up, and youd know. Bane doesn't always have to "juice up." He can probably beat majority of Gothams finest without it. Batman also rolls with the everyday normal guy routine. You dont need laser vision to kick butt.

In TDKR Bane waited until Batman was near exhaustion from rounding up all the criminals he had set free. In top shape Batman could probably have taken him.

[@krazeegamer616]

Actually, he wasn't. In Arkham Asylum, Joker put something in the Venom Bane used. It made him less Intelligent and more Hulk. In Arkham City however, Bane is intelligent, because he's back on Venom that isn't drugged or whatever.

The funny thing is, in the same year, we got what Bane should have been, in the form of Javier Bardem's Silva in Skyfall.

[@nonimport-ante]

bane only used the venom the 1st time he fought batman, but it's what every one remembers.

[@TRdotorg]

cant.........stop.....watching these!!!!!

[@Puni6622]

En la versión filmica BANE no es ni se acerca a algunas caracteristicas del comic, como que se puede agrandar su masa muscular... pero en personalidad si lo hace, es identico pero por eso el director christopher Nolan hizo una versión mas sutil

[@xxAnaconta]

bane is such a badass that their are times i wish batman hadn't beaten him in a dkr

[@11kreider]

he wears the mask in the comics because that's where the tubes are connected to feed him venom and in the movie the dark knight rises he wears the mask because he got severly beaten while in prison and the mask holds back the pain.

[@MrBlackatheist]

Aside from the venom thing, not being from South America and bwibf Talia protector they pretty much nailed his character perfectly

[@DJMIE93]

@Tenos, the drug was inside the small tubes on his mask. That's why he needed the mask.
