BATTMAN 1940 COMIC BANE FREE
The exhausted Batman was easy prey for Bane, who snapped Batman over his knee in the pages of "Batman" #497 to make way for the all-new, all-different Batman, Jean-Paul Valley, to debut in "Batman" #500.ġ4 years later, Bane returned to the big screen as the primary antagonist of the third film in Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy, "The Dark Knight Rises." Here, he was played by Tom Hardy, and he was definitely not free of dialogue. There was no way that Batman was going to let Gotham City's supervillain population run wild on the city, so it makes sense that he'd push himself to the limit trying to bring them all down one after the other. What makes it work so well is that it turned Batman's greatest strength, his relentless dedication to fighting crime, against him. The result was that Batman spent 10 issues running a gauntlet of his deadliest foes - including the Joker, the Scarecrow, Killer Croc, the Mad Hatter, and more - before he ever came face-to-face with Bane. His plan to beat Batman was actually brilliant in its simplicity: before fighting Batman himself, he broke every single criminal in Arkham Asylum out at the same time.
While the "Knightfall" storyline that followed is mostly remembered for the brutal fight between Batman and Bane, it's worth noting that over the course of the story, Bane's intellect was just as important as his physicality.
but not before the drug's creators made it to the small South American nation of Santa Prisca to continue their research. After realizing that the Venom had become a weakness rather than a strength, Batman beat his addiction by quitting cold turkey and locking himself in the Batcave for a month. It drove Batman into uncontrollable rages and was so addictive that its creators were almost able to blackmail him into killing Jim Gordon to get more pills. Unfortunately, Venom wasn't without its drawbacks. To solve that problem, he turned to a designer steroid called Venom, which allowed him to surpass those physical limitations, granting him superhuman strength. In that story, Batman came up against the limitations of being a superhero who was "only human." While we're used to seeing him rack up victory after victory thanks to his physical training, boundless intellect, and massive personal fortune - and, you know, the kind of writing that comes from his name being on the cover of the comic - he wasn't strong enough to save a little girl who had been trapped behind a massive boulder.
