I know his backstory needing Venom, but that Bane wouldn't work in Nolan's universe hence the characters having nothing in common.

Yeah, but the villians in Dark Knight were pretty true to their comic portrayal. I mean, Harvey Dent had half his face burnt off (although it was suppose to be acid burn, but I think we can let that slide); is it realistic for someone to recover and walk around with wounds exposed like that? The Joker wore the suit and used bombs and knives, and had scars. Would it have been more realistic if he didn't have his face painted, etc.? Probably, but those characters still worked in that movie. I'm not saying you needed a 9 foot tall green guy... what am I saying, yes, you do need that guy, because that's who Bane is.

No he isn't.
Bane's origin story is established in the story "Vengeance of Bane". He was born in the fictional Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca, in a prison called Peña Dura ("Hard Rock"). His father Edmund Dorrance had been a revolutionary and had escaped Santa Prisca's court system. The corrupt government, however, decreed that his young son would serve out the man's life sentence, and thus Bane's childhood and early adult life were spent in the amoral penitentiary environment.[3][4]

Though imprisoned, his natural abilities allowed him to develop extraordinary skills within the prison's walls. He read as many books as he could get his hands on, built up his body in the prison's gym, and learned to fight in the merciless school of prison life. Because of the cultural and supposed geographical location of Santa Prisca, Bane knew how to speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin. Despite his circumstances, he found teachers of various sorts during his incarceration, ranging from hardened convicts to an elderly Jesuit priest, under whose tutelage he apparently received a classical education. Bane murdered this priest upon his return to Santa Prisca years later. He committed his first murder at the age of eight, stabbing a criminal who wanted to use him to gain information about the prison.[4] During his years in prison, Bane carried a teddy bear he calls Osito (Spanish for "little bear"), whom he considered his only friend.[5] It is revealed that Osito has a hole in his back to hold a knife that Bane used against anyone who bullied him.[3][4]

Bane ultimately established himself as the "king" of Peña Dura prison. The prison's controllers took note and eventually forced him to become a test subject for a mysterious drug known as Venom,[4] which had killed all other subjects; the drug was administered by a doctor who bore a passing resemblance to another Batman foe, Hugo Strange. Later, in Vengeance of Bane II the very same doctor encountered Bane again in Gotham and it is confirmed that it is not Hugo Strange, who at that point in Batman continuity was a crazed psychologist and not a surgeon.[4] The Peña Dura prison Venom experiment nearly killed Bane at first, but he survived and found that the drug vastly increases his physical strength, although he needs to take it every 12 hours (via a system of tubes pumped directly into his brain) or he will suffer debilitating side-effects.[3][4]

Bane isn't just some dumb muscle like he is portrayed in the burton batman films. He's actually a very intelligent and resourceful person, this is part of what makes him so terrifying

They see me trolling, they hating.....
The sad thing about Nolan's trilogy is that it only introduced 2 new Batman villians to the film universe (Ras Al and Scarecrow)

I understand Joker, he's necessary, and Two Face is cool also but why put the same villains in the films when they have already been on others?

Imagine a Nolan directed Batman film with Clayface or Killer Croc as the villain? The CGI alone would be piff


The new Superman film is doing the same damn shyt with Zod.


Bring on Darkside already nukka
