Bane, a supervillain in DC Comics and an adversary of the superhero Batman, has been adapted in various forms of media, including films, television series, and video games. The character has been portrayed in film by Robert Swenson in Batman & Robin, and Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight Rises, and in television by Shane West in the Fox series Gotham. Henry Silva, Héctor Elizondo, Danny Trejo, Fred Tatasciore, JB Blanc, and others have provided Bane's voice in animation and video games.
Bane appears in series set in the DC Animated Universe (DCAU), voiced by Henry Silva.[6] Prior to his inclusion, the producers of Batman: The Animated Series were reluctant to use the character as they felt his comic incarnation was too gimmicky.[6]
An original incarnation of Bane named Antonio Diego appears in Batman & Robin (1997), portrayed by Robert Swenson and Michael Reid MacKay respectively. This version is an incarcerated serial killer who was transformed into the unintelligent Bane by Dr. Jason Woodrue before serving as an assistant to Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze. This portrayal of Bane was one of many aspects of the film that received negative criticism from fans and critics alike.[8]
Bane appears in The Dark Knight Rises, portrayed by Tom Hardy.[9][10][11] Intending to portray the character as "more menacing" than the aforementioned Batman & Robin incarnation, Hardy gained 14 kilograms (31 lb) of muscle for the role,[12][13] increasing his weight to 90 kilograms (200 lb).[12] Prior to the film's release, Bane's voice received criticism for being unintelligible due to his mask. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Christopher Nolan said "I think when people see the film, things will come into focus. Bane is very complex and very interesting and when people see the finished film people will be very entertained by him."[14] "We wanted a very physical monster. We wanted more of the Darth Vader, if you like, and that was very important in the story dynamics."[15] Hardy himself also commented on the voice in another interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying "It’s a risk, because we could be laughed at—or it could be very fresh and exciting", and that "The audience mustn’t be too concerned about the mumbly voice... As the film progresses, I think you’ll be able to tune to its setting." Hardy says the voice he developed had several influences, including Bane's intellect, Caribbean heritage,[16] and in particular, bare-knuckle fighter Bartley Gorman.[17][18]
Bane has been described as having "the physicality of a silverback gorilla"[19][20] and is shown to have superhuman levels of strength in certain instances throughout the film, such as punching holes in limestone pillars, ripping his wrists out of handcuffs, easily breaking a soldier's neck with one hand, lifting Batman's armored body by the throat with a single outstretched arm, and cracking his impact-resistant cowl.[21] Hardy describes Bane's fighting style as "Brutal. He's a big dude who's incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result-based and oriented fighting style. It's not about fighting. It's about carnage. The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it's nasty. Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks."[22]
Bane is involved with the League of Shadows and is posing as the self-proclaimed leader of a revolution against the rich and the corrupt, who he contends are oppressing "the people", and keeping them subservient with "myths of opportunity". Political theorist and cultural critic Slavoj Žižek sees Bane's revolutionary charade as fighting "structural injustice", while likening the ruse to a modern-day Che Guevara who is counter-intuitively driven to violence out of a sense of love.[23] Others have compared Bane to a "high-tech Robespierre on steroids", a melded triad of Lenin, bin Laden and Steve Austin set on fomenting "proletarian retribution", and "the one thing that's worse than the second film's raving anarchist: a demagogue."[24][25] For his part, Nolan has said that his draft for the script was inspired by Charles Dickens' 1859 novel A Tale of Two Cities, centered around the French Revolution.[26] This homage to Dickens' story is briefly illustrated by having Bane finger knit paracord (incidentally a real-life habit of Hardy's) in one scene of the film, symbolizing the Reign of Terror-based character Madame Defarge from the book.[26]
While little information is given about Bane's backstory, he is said to have been born and raised in a centuries-old foreign penitentiary known as "the Pit",[27][28] where he spent most of his life incarcerated as a prisoner. Additionally, he was a friend and guardian to Talia al Ghul, whose mother, the daughter of a local warlord, was banished to the Pit by her father and later killed by inmates.[29] Bane also sustained severe injuries after being attacked by the other inmates, which were exacerbated by a doctor's failed attempts to treat him. This gave him chronic pain, which is lessened with a mask that provides him with a constant stream of analgesic gas.[30] Subsequently, Bane was rescued and recruited by Talia's father, Ra's al Ghul, into the League of Shadows, though Ra's eventually excommunicated him for being a reminder of the prison that his wife, Talia's mother, was left to die in. After Ra's' death during the events of Batman Begins, however, Bane rejoined the League as its new leader alongside Talia. Arriving in Gotham, Bane steals weapons from Wayne Enterprises and breaks Batman's back, before leaving him in the Pit. He is later defeated during a riot between Gotham citizens and the League when Catwoman kills him with the Batpod's rockets.
Bane appears in the Batman: Arkham franchise, voiced by Fred Tatasciore in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City and by JB Blanc in Arkham Origins.[3]
The only one I can recommend watching is the biography on Bane. Paul Dini of Batman: The Animated Series and Denny O'Neil of DC Comics tell us just how badly Bane was written for the movie making the only thing missing here an apology from screenwriter Akiva Goldsman.
Some audience members are grumbling that they can't understand what Bane, the main villain in the final installment of the Christopher Nolan-helmed trilogy, is saying.
The Joker tells constant lies about himself and his backstory, and Nolan tells one big lie about the origin of Bane. That lie is designed to hide the film's biggest reveal, and we do eventually learn the truth about Bane. It seems fitting that in the one flashback where Nolan tells the full truth about Bane's identity, we finally catch that single glimpse of Tom Hardy's face.
