[@reganator5000]

indeed. it's not quite the same way he loses to shredder, where they both have the same exact skill set, but shredder did a few more years of training, but it is totally what an out-of-practice ninja will do against a street fighter on home turf, will do to a man he's several weight classes above. Bane is just that bit bigger, with longer reach, and a harder punch. But, then again, i'd have liked to see this Bane try to fight someone who's 6'7 and close to 300lbs - those categories are in fighting sports for a reason.

What a scene. All that training, all the gadgets, strength that is still incredible -- and Bane just walks through it while casually explaining why he's winning. Best part is, it's not a bunch of bull whipped up by bad writers. It's well written and everything he says makes sense. No one is the best forever. You punch hard, somewhere there's a guy who punches harder. You know the dark, somewhere there's a guy who knows it better. Bane is that guy, simple as that.

"Victory has defeated you." Such an underrated quote, and explains perfectly why Batman lost. Get complacent, and you'll eventually get your ass whooped.

[@TonyPerez816]

I agree with the principle, but thats not what happened to Wayne. Unlike most comic heroes, Bruce is human. He is highly trained and skilled, but by this point, his health had deteriorated. His body had taken years of punishment to the point where he had no cartilage in his knees, his joints were shot, he was older, slower, etc. Bane meanwhile was in his prime, twice the size, etc. Thats part of what made this Batman so compelling. He was human, vulnerable, and able to be defeated.

The best line in this whole scene for me is: ''Theatricality and deception. Powerful agents to the uninitiated. But we are initiated. Aren't we Bruce?'' That's when Batman realizes that everything he learned, everything he uses, everything he knows and does will not work on Bane. You can see this realization and you can see he is afraid after that. He then tries to use his greatest asset. Dark. And that's when Bane breaks him before actually breaking his back by taking that away from him too. He now knows that for this guy he needs something else, something more. One of the greatest scenes in Batman history. Not just movies, but overall.

She must have been so overwhelmed at that moment too, realizing that the man she thought was just some spoiled billionaire brat was ACTUALLY the dark knight of gotham, as well as being from the same organization as Bane, and finally understanding that this whole conflict goes WAY deeper than she wouldve ever imagined

Bane is like an animal with no natural predators. There's no hatred or anger in his violence. He talks to prey as if he hopes to help them accept their place in the food chain.

It is disappointed in you for not being at peace with your purpose as prey.

I loved it when Batman said to Catwoman " You made a serious mistake" and then the best part when Bane said "Not as serious as yours" that line from Bane is badass as fuck!

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

Love the way Bane just very calmly reveals Batman's identity by simply addressing him as "Mr Wayne", it's much more scary when a villain casually says your real name rather than someone like The Joker who would go into the whole I know the truth speech with classic taunting, it makes it more shocking for Batman especially when he's about to fight someone who completely outmatches him plus the lack of the music really adds more to the tension. This scene for me when Bane says "now i will break you" was the closest thing to the Knightfall arc in live action we ever got on the big screen with the infamous backbreaking moment. Absolutely loved this and great performances from both Christian Bale & Tom Hardy.

Bane's controlled style is showcased in this scene. He only attacked during lapses in Batman's assault, or when an opening for a counter emerged. He made every strike count, careful not to waste his stamina.

People are missing the point. The fighting choreography in this film is SUPPOSE to look slow and brawl-like, and it's not "crappy" for accomplishing just that. The entire point was to show just how far Batman has fallen and the slowness shows that, and the brawl-like style shows how personal the plot/conflict is to Batman. He's older, worn, and bitter in this movie. Both the plot points and the fighting choreography shows why he needed to make the decision to retire in the end. It's like people have become so spoiled by Marvel and Arkhamverse fight scenes that they've forgotten how to appreciate it when details such fight choreography and the like are used to push a story's themes and plot.

[@afs3476]

The best thing about this scene is how much we can actually relate to it, as much as willing and determined Batman wants to take out Bane he just can’t, through every struggle he still tries to get up and even uses many accessories to get an advantage but he just can’t , his sheer will keeps him going but it’s just not enough ,bane even acknowledges this by saying his “fighting like a younger man”. Sometimes we’re put in situation where as much as we want to succeed we’re gonna fail and it’s devastating.

I agree, not to take anything away from Tom Hardy he is a brilliant actor and worked his ass off to put on some serious muscle for this role. I wish they would have use some one with a larger built for the scene that were close ups of Tom. Overall Hardy's bane was great. A true alpha. He mixed the intelligence with that confident/cocky walk beautifully.

[@cookscreativecorner]

+Marc Villarreal And he wasn't so easily defeated like Bane could be in most other incarnations when Batman finally returns. This Bane held his own until the end. :)

[@ballsackschrader218]

+DrScaphandre But even in the comic, Bane only used venom in one story arc. Even then he stopped taking venom all together, and went toe to toe against Batman without venom. In the movie, he did have chemical enhancements. His mask had anesthetic which made him resistant to pain. That's why Batman's hits had little to no effect on him.
