Who is Bane and what does his appearance mean for the Gotham saga? Today we will try to answer these questions and tell you in detail about the most important events in the life of this character.
Spring 1993
After the successful release of the film in 1992, DC Comics was on a new round of its popularity. Realizing that iron should be struck while it is hot, the directorate demanded from the authors new incredible twists in the history of the Dark Knight. New star DC Comics 38-year-old comics artist Chuck Dixon and his colleagues accepted the demands of the authorities with fierce enthusiasm. And already in the spring of 1993, the publishing house launched one of the darkest plots in the history of Batman - "The Fall of the Black Knight» (Knightfall). For such a serious event, a new supervillain was invented, against which all other psychos looked ridiculous and miserable freaks.
Bane's birth
Bain has no first name and no last name. The biting "Bane" (from English - death, punishment, scourge) is just a nickname that this man took for himself in early childhood. His mother is the wife of a revolutionary from Saint Priscilla, a fictional "banana" republic somewhere in the Caribbean. In the late 60s, local rebels tried to overthrow the military junta, but suffered a cruel fiasco, their leaders were captured and executed, and relatives and relatives were forever thrown into the cellars of the Pena Dure prison.
Among those sentenced to life imprisonment was not only the mother, but also her unborn child. Baby Bane was born in the prison basement, all of his life passed here. early childhood. When the boy was about seven, his parent died of exhaustion, and the senior guard ordered the boy to be thrown into a common cell with hardened convicts. At night, at any moment expecting abuse, the child experienced the first, almost religious coming. The teddy bear, his only friend, woke the boy in the middle of the night and led him to an empty cell, where a large and scary man. "Who are you, uncle?" asked little Bane. “I am you from the future: that powerful superbeing that you will someday become if you conquer fear and pity in your own soul.” Perhaps the boy was just dreaming, but a couple of hours later he picked up a sharpener and brutally killed his first pedophile.
The boy was completely inadequate, so the guards locked him in solitary confinement, where he lived for the next 12 years of his life. Locked in four walls on three square meters concrete floor, little Bane began to pump his muscles. His cell was flooded daily during the night tides, so he ate not only rats and insects, but also sea fish. Predatory fish. Lots of predatory fish. As a result, many years of difficult exercise and the endless struggle for life molded from the child an invincible superman.
So, 12 years later, Bane was released from solitary, and in a couple of weeks he became the most a dangerous person in "Foam Dura". He had serious and very loyal followers - the thug and bear cub Trogg, the underground chemist named Zombie, and the Italian mafia from Gotham Ptah Colossimo. Bird taught Bane to read and opened books for him. For the next few years of his life, he not only pumped his muscles, but also read three works a day. First, all the literature from the prison library, then tons of publications that were brought to him through underground channels from the outside world. Bane's mind was still that of a life-damaged child who had never seen the world outside his prison walls and ordinary life. There were always predators around him, with whom he had to fight for life, but this child was an incredible child prodigy. He learned a dozen languages and that's it exact sciences, hundreds of chess games, never seeing a simple chessboard in reality.
Gradually Bane began to seize despair. He realized that he would not be released even in the case of impeccable behavior. And the guy began to “wet” the cellmates. The senior warden eventually got tired of this, and he handed Bane in for illegal experiments, where he turned out to be the only test subject who survived after experimenting with the new drug "venom", which increases the strength and endurance of the user to incredible proportions. (Later, Trogg and Zombie made a special gadget for Bane, with the help of which, at any time, the drug could enter his body through tubes through connectors implanted in the skull.) 
After the guy was returned to the cell, Trogg and Zombie were able to fake his death so that the corpse was thrown into the ocean. So Bane found himself at large.
Back in Ptah's prison, Colossimo repeatedly told Bane about his hometown of Gotham and about Batman, who invisibly rules this place. The image of a giant bat- the only fear that he could not overcome during all the years of his imprisonment. And now he realized that his destiny is to defeat Batman and seize power in Gotham.
It was not a plan of an experienced strategist, but of an overgrown child with a convict upbringing, the cunning of a predator and an IQ of about 200. The plan was simple but powerful. Almost like the Joker in . Gradually ruin the psyche of Batman, make him a weak-willed tired rag, and then break him. In direct and figuratively.
The man who broke the bat
The moment was chosen very well. Bruce Wayne was going through another mental crisis and was being treated by a protégé of Lucius Fox, so he was in a very miserable state. In his Batman suit, his new stand-in Jean Paul Valli, a WayneTech security guard, former computer scientist graduate student and heir to the Assassins of the Order of Dumas, raced through the streets in his place. Bruce Wayne understood that Valli lacked experience and strength, therefore, despite all the procedures, he himself regularly went out to play heroes on the roofs. Upon learning of his adversary's desperate situation, Bane organized an armed raid on the Arkham Mental Hospital. He blew up its walls, interrupted the guards and let all the psychos out. A real hell began in the city: the Joker and the Scarecrow stole the mayor, the Riddler seized television, the Firefly began to methodically burn all local attractions, there was enough work for less psychos.
And the Dark Knight broke. After another fight, he crawled home beaten and crippled and saw that the faithful Alfred was lying unconscious on the floor, and in his chair was sitting ... Bane. The guy grabbed Batman, broke his spine, and then threw the hero's body out the window onto the pavement. All of Gotham saw that the Dark Knight had come to an end, and it was Bane who was the man who was able to achieve the impossible. From now on, he new king Gotham, and the Joker and his Arkham pack are shkolota and losers.
Naturally, friends saved Batman, repairing his spine and psyche over time, after which he brutally poked Bane in the literal and figurative sense ... Yes, yes, we are talking about tubes to the head. But the return of a hero from the other world is the most boring thing in all existing comics.
Bane in the service of a demon
After being defeated by Batman and coming back from his coma, Bane pleaded guilty. In a Gotham prison, during two years of severe drug withdrawal, the criminal gradually got rid of the "venom" in his body. Now he has become just a mega-pump without fantastic doping in the blood, but brilliantly trained and with a well-functioning brain. It was through these qualities that Bane planned to defeat Batman a second time. But sometime in the future, not now. The fact is that now he has a new goal - he decided to find his father. The criminal realized that his real enemy was not the Dark Knight at all, but those people who broke the life of little Bane and his mother.
Returning to Saint Priscilla, Bane tracked down a blind Jesuit who had previously worked as a confessor at Pena Durre. The old man told him that Bane's father could be one of four possible candidates: either a heroic local guerrilla leader, an American doctor, a British mercenary soldier, or a Swiss banker who financed a doomed rebellion. The Jesuit also knew that the American was already dead by now, and the whereabouts of the others were unknown.
Pursuing the search for a Swiss, Bane encountered the occultists from the Order of Dumas, and then accidentally met the immortal Ra's al Ghul himself. The guy began to work for Ras and gradually aroused sincere delight in the demon. "You are so cynical, conniving, mean and manipulative that you well deserve to be my daughter's mate." Ras uttered these words for a reason. Bane was in love with Talia al Ghul. But his love is very unhealthy and sometimes pathological. Imagine relating to opposite sex a male who has lived in prison all his life since his birth.
Naturally, Thalia was not happy with such a groom. She still remembered Bruce Wayne, whose place under the Race was now taken. Bane understood this too, but taking the Batman woman for himself was another moment that turned him on as a predator.
“Father, you are sorely mistaken. Your Bane is a very strong and dangerous animal with the heart and brain of a small child."
Further down the story, Ra's al Ghul attempts to destroy humanity with the help of an ancient microbiological weapon from the Pestilence Wheel. Batman and his comrades-in-arms spoil all the raspberries for the immortal demon, and Bane messes up and falls into fierce disfavor. Having lost the woman of his dreams and the chance for personal immortality, he announces crusade against Ras al Ghul. He begins to travel around the planet and methodically destroy the Lazarus Wells, which provide the Race with regeneration.
Bane finds his father
One day, Bane returns to Gotham and infiltrates Bruce Wayne's mansion again without disturbing the alarms and traps. “I came in peace. I have a business." It turns out that he went on the trail of the second candidate for his own father, and this is ... Dr. Thomas Wayne, Batman's father.
Are Batman and Bane brothers? Alfred, Robin and the whole flying company are in shock. They quickly run a DNA test and are convinced that no, not brothers, no luck. Bane then leaves the city again, but this time with Batman, they part almost as friends.
A year later, Wayne helps Bane finally find his real dad. It turns out to be a British mercenary. More specifically, Sir Edmund Dorrance, also known as the Serpent King. One of the most dangerous fighters on the planet, currently trying to subdue the sectarians from the Cobra Cult. During a long brawl, Dorrance nearly kills Batman, but Bane shields him by taking the hit. The king is killed, and the dying Bane returns to life in the water of another Lazarus Well.
The only negative is that the waters of the Well always cause the resurrected by-effect: uncontrollable madness. Therefore, returning from the other world, Bane quickly loses a hefty share of his positivity and adherence to principles. But what happened to him after that, no one knows, because in 2002 the writer Chuck Dixon, who created all the main stories about this character, left the Batman saga and fled to another publisher. After his departure, epic stories about Bane no longer came out, although he firmly entered the list of Gotham villains of the first "hot" ten.
But there is nothing wrong with that. For ten years of work at DC, Chuck Dixon managed to write so much about his favorite that the Joker himself would envy him. Let's remember again:
Bane broke Batman's spine;
- Bane almost became Batman's brother;
- Bane almost married Talia al Ghul;
- Bane captured Arkham and released all the psychos to freedom;
- Bane was right hand Lex Luthor (we did not talk about this, but there was such an episode too).
Now let's try to imagine which of the above can fall into New film. Prison background, yes. In the career of Tom Hardy there was already a character with a similar biography - the British criminal Bronson from. Muscles, intelligence and predatory habits can be completely borrowed from this picture, but I hope that Nolan will not do it so bluntly.
The plan for the moral destruction of Batman - also yes. Batman's broken spine is a possibility. An attack on Arkham is most likely. It is still in question how Catwoman will be introduced into the story. Perhaps she will appear as a patient in a psychiatric hospital and without any additional origin story.
As you know, Nolan promised in the third film the logical and plot completion of the trilogy, so the appearance of Bane as a new Race may be the best outcome for such a denouement. Perhaps you have some ideas?
Let's pay tribute to the criminals who do not let the hero get bored at night.
It is commonly said that a hero is defined by the villains he has to face, and that no other hero is as "lucky" with them as Batman. Are you ready to venture into the dark cells of Arkham City Asylum and meet twenty-five of Batman's greatest adversaries of all time?
25. Court of Owls
One of Batman's greatest strengths has always been his unrivaled knowledge of all the streets and nooks and crannies of Gotham. But when a frightening company called the Court of Owls appeared in the city, and the "claws" they sent - killers similar to the undead - Batman realized that he knew his hometown not as good as I thought.
24. Victor Zsasz
Many of Batman's adversaries took the lives of innocent people, but no one did it with such relish as Victor Zsasz. This fanatical maniac celebrates every time he kills someone by carving a new commemorative mark on his body. There aren't many scar-free spots left on his skin these days. But don't worry - he's reserved a special place for Batman.
23. Professor Pyg
Professor Pyg is a relatively new villain, but despite this, he has already managed to leave a significant mark on the Batman universe. Suffering mental disorder and obsessed with creating an army of mutilated people, "dollotrons", under his control, he is clearly one of those opponents who should not be underestimated.
22. Lady Shiva
Lady Shiva is determined to prove to herself that she is the world's greatest martial artist, even if it means roaming the world and fighting anyone who gets in her way. She's good enough at her job to challenge any member of Batman's team, even himself for long years managed to teach a couple of lessons.
21. Ventriloquist
At first glance, the Ventriloquist seems unworthy of being taken seriously. He is an ordinary timid person suffering from a split personality, the second of which he embodies through a ventriloquist doll named Scar. But this strange pair of man and doll has created one of Gotham's most feared crime empires.
20. Khash
Hush (real name - Tommy Elliot) is a master of complex conspiracies. This bandaged and constantly quoting Aristotle villain loves to manipulate Batman into confrontations with his worst enemies. And all this because of the rivalry that originated when Bruce and Tommy were children and friends.
19. Clayface
Clayface has the ability to change the shape of his own body, so that he can either impersonate people close to Batman, or simply attack the hero, appearing as a clumsy but strong monster. In addition, Clayface is often in a mentally unstable state, which makes him an even more dangerous and convincing villain.
18. Dr. Hurt
Few villains have come as close to destroying the Dark Knight as Doctor Hurt. And all because this skilled doctor was a member of a satanic cult and the ancestor of Bruce Wayne, and also gained eternal life due to contact with weapons from the planet Apocalypse. Thus, Hurt had centuries to build up the strength and resources to defeat Batman.
17. Carmine Falcone
IN old days Gotham was dominated not by psychos in fancy dress, but by organized crime and drug cartels. The head then was Carmine Falcone, nicknamed "The Roman". And though times have changed, Falcone has never lost hope of regaining control of the city.
16. Man-bat
Batman can dress up like a bat, but this villain, Man-Bat, actually became one - because of an experimental serum. While Dr. Kurt Langstrom himself may be Batman's ally, his alter ego is a creepy creature and one of the Dark Knight's most powerful adversaries.
15. Jervis Thatch
Jervis Thatch uses in his criminal activity both topics on which he is obsessed: big hats and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. He is short in stature, but his mind-controlling hats are a force to be reckoned with in Gotham.
14. Hugo Strange
Hugo Strange is not only one of Batman's longest-standing adversaries, but also one of the few who has managed to unravel the secret of the Dark Knight's identity. A cruel and sophisticated mind makes Hugo a villain that few of Batman's other adversaries can match.
13. Killer Croc
Sometimes he is depicted as a human with a unique skin mutation, at other times as a humanoid crocodile. But anyway, Killer Croc - creepy monster, who rules the sewers of Gotham, and a villain capable of pushing Batman to the limit. And what teeth he has!
12. Bain
Bane's physical strength and unbreakable will are as good as those of Batman, but this villain spent his childhood in a terrible prison, raising him from a seasoned killer. Thanks to a supersteroid called Venom, he was able to break Batman's spine and take control of Gotham. How many villains can boast of such an achievement?
11. Waist
Of all the villains, she is almost the closest to the Dark Knight. Talia loves Batman both as the father of her child and as the only person worthy of inheriting the empire of Ra "with Al Ghul. But this does not stop her from leading constant war against her lover in the name of the League of Assassins.
10. Scarecrow
Fear is one of the most powerful weapons in Batman's arsenal. But the Scarecrow only person in Gotham, who understands the power of this feeling even better than The Dark Knight. This sophisticated psychiatrist-turned-disguised villain has been able to literally make ammo out of fear, and no one, not even Batman, is able to resist its effect.
9 Poison Ivy
It makes sense that Poison Ivy is one of Batman's strongest adversaries, with her ability to control and modify plants. And the fact that she can enchant the minds of people (and not only them, because even Superman is subject to her) makes Poison Ivy even more dangerous. The goal of this lady is to protect the life of Gotham plants, which sounds noble, but exactly as long as she does not begin to destroy the entire human population of the city for this.
8. Riddler
The Riddler has a fascination with testing Batman's deductive powers, leaving clues and hints for the hero to track down whoever started this whole game. However, the Riddler is quite dangerous: he draws the Dark Knight into his crazy and deadly puzzle schemes, at the same time demonstrating his own intelligence, which is in no way inferior to that of Batman.
7. Harley Quinn
She first appeared in the animated series Batman: The Animated Series as a kind of analogue of Robin, working for the Joker, but later acquired its own crowd of fans and henchmen. It is impossible not to admit that the clown costume and huge hammer make her a rather comical character. But she's also quite likable and interesting in her quest to break out of her unhealthy and dramatic relationship with the Joker.
6. Penguin
Penguin, also known as Oswald Cobblepot,- the face of the underworld of Gotham. He does not have superpowers worthy of mention, but boundless ambition and a penchant for cruelty helped him rise to the very top of the criminal pyramid. Even Batman realized that sometimes it's easier to coexist alongside the Penguin than to try to fight his criminal empire.
5. Mr. Freeze
Most of Batman's opponents are psychotic maniacs, but Mr. Freeze is not one of them. He's just a gifted scientist who had to go to extreme lengths to find a cure for his beloved Nora, who is protected from death by being frozen. Freese turned to crime only to find funding for further research and at the expense of high intelligence, a deadly freeze gun and a power-enhancing cooling exo-skeleton, he becomes a rival that even Batman can barely handle. And when Batman still manages to defeat Freeze, it becomes difficult to get rid of bitterness and regret - this scientist is a painfully tragic character.
4. Ra "with Al Ghul
Ra's Al Ghul, also called the "Ghoul Head", runs the League of Assassins, a secret society whose goal is to restore balance to the world, even if it requires massacres. To get on our list, he would have had enough genius and outstanding swordsmanship skills, but Ra's Al Ghul lives for hundreds of years thanks to the resurrecting pits of Lazarus, and therefore poses a terrible threat that Batman still cannot get rid of. However, their relationship is very ambiguous: out of respect, Ra "s calls Batman a "detective" and sometimes tries to marry his daughter Thalia to him so that the Dark Knight inherits the title "Ghoul Head".
3. Two-faced
The incident, after which half the face of Harvey Dent, the District Attorney of Gotham, was covered with acid, led this man to a split personality and turning him into a criminal mastermind nicknamed Two-Face. He is obsessed with the duality of things and phenomena and often uses a coin toss to make decisions that may affect the life or death of Batman and the inhabitants of Gotham. Once he was an ally of Commissioner Gordan and the Dark Knight himself, but he switched to the side of evil, having managed to be the personification of both the best and the worst that a resident of Gotham can be.
2 Catwoman
A graceful thief with outstanding acrobatic talents, Catwoman can steal anything she wants from diamonds and collectible figurines cats to the heart of the Dark Knight himself. Because of her relationship with the latter, she regularly tiptoes between good and evil, being able to first help Batman and the next moment run away with another jewel in her pocket. If it seems to you that she is only capable of waving a whip and joking about cats, then you simply do not know that this lady is another one of the biggest crime bosses in the city.
1. Joker
The Joker is the epitome of everything villains aspire to be: insanely dangerous, wildly unpredictable, and always one step ahead of the hero. Over the past 75 years since its appearance, we have not learned the story of its origin - it is still shrouded in a veil of mystery and darkness. This approach allows you to repeatedly rethink the character over the years, but whether he is dressed up in a costume, whether he is a criminal or an anarchist clown, the Joker always tests Batman for strength, and also brings his patience and many other feelings to the limit.
He's a villain who doesn't like to get his hands dirty, a criminal who can kill just for fun, and a man who likes to pretend to be Gotham's prince of crime. He is the Joker, and he is the greatest Batman villain of all time.
"The Dark Knight. The Revival of the Legend”, the actors of which told us another story of Batman's adventures, became the final film in a series of pictures about the Man-Bat. Who starred in the next creation of Christopher Nolan and how much did the picture collect at the box office?

Selina and Bruce Wayne meet for the first time at a dinner party at his house. Swindler Kyle steals an expensive necklace from Bruce. Subsequently, the same Selina becomes the reason that Batman falls into the "Pit".

However, Batman doesn't want to hear anything. It was then that a conflict arises between them and Alfred leaves his master.

bane (Bane) was born in prison, and had to spend his whole life there for the crimes of his father. Since childhood, he began to improve his body and mind. He read all the books he could get, spent long hours in the prison "rocking chair" and interacted with the prisoners, who became his mentors. He committed his first murder at the age of eight.
As a child, Bane considered his only friend teddy bear. This teddy bear not only consoled the future supervillain, but also really helped out - Bane kept a knife in it, which he used for self-defense.
When Bane grew up, he became the main authority in the prison. Strong, healthy, smart - the perfect sample for testing the experimental super-drug "Poison" (Venome). The trouble is that all the other test subjects did not survive the test. But Bane survived, even became much stronger and more resilient. True, he developed a rigid dependence on the Poison - Bane had to feed on the Poison every 12 hours in order to remain as strong and strong.
Bane repeatedly had a nightmare with a giant bat in leading role. Having escaped from prison, Bane decided to attack Gotham in general and Batman in particular - partly to prove his superiority, partly to gain control of the city, which is ruled by fear, like its prison. Well, at the same time - to defeat his old mouse nightmare.
Being a savvy guy, Bane did not immediately go to Batman with his fists, knowing that he would definitely lose, but instead blew up Arkham, releasing a lot of supervillains from there like the Scarecrow, and even the Hatter. For three long months, Batman lived on caffeine and slept on a minimum in order to catch everyone. And when the Dark Knight was mentally and physically exhausted, Bane came to visit him, having calculated real personality Batman. Came and beat Bats and broke his back, which has already become a legend in the world of comics. The man who broke the Bat.
However, Bane did not calculate that Batman would return soon enough - though not in the form of Bruce Wayne. Wayne's friend and ally, Jean-Paul Whalley, also known as " ", became the new Batman. To fight Bane, he built a reinforced suit with armored plates, metal claws, and wrist cannons that fire sharpened mini-batarangs. The new Batman beat and tortured Bane to the point where the recent victor and mousebreaker begged Jean-Paul to die. However, Batman at least in some way remained Batman. Defeated and humiliated, Bane was handed over to the police and imprisoned in the rebuilt Arkham.
Bane has crossed paths with Bruce Wayne more than once, but has never defeated him so unambiguously. But one day something happened that was quite difficult to predict. While searching for information about his father, Bane learned that his mother was quite close to Dr. Thomas Wayne, Bruce's father. Which means Batman could be Bane's brother. For a while, Bane became an ardent ally Dark Knight, even insisted that his name was not "Bane", but "Wayne". When it turned out that there was no relationship between the Mouse and the Mousebreaker, Bane went on a “solo voyage”.
Bain managed to watchmaker (Hourman) nerves - after learning that his enhancing drug, Poison, was based on Miraclo, a substance that gives the Clockmaker strength, Bane kidnapped the Watchmaker Sr. (Rex Tyler) and wanted to force the younger (Rick Tyler) to take Venom and become addicted, but in the end the heroes outwitted Bane and brought the building down on him. And Bane managed to become part of the Suicide Squad.
When Batman went missing after battling Darkseid (and went back in time), Bane, purely out of respect for him and his lieutenants, stood up to protect the city in a way. He even obeyed when Nightwing ordered him to stop his "watches", as he believed that Dick Grayson - the only hero worthy of becoming the new Dark Knight.
After Flashpoint, in the new DC Universe, Bane learned that he was still far from Batman in terms of intimidating effect, so he came to the brilliant conclusion - he had to become Batman. Bane built himself a Bat-Suit, hit Croc on the head, but never became a real Batman.
Comics. We are best known for his appearance in films about. He is one of Batman's strongest physical enemies, once defeating him in a fight and breaking his spine.
According to the comics, Bane was sent to Santa Mining Prison at a very young age to serve time in place of his late father. In prison bane I started reading books and meditating. This allowed him to gain spiritual balance and moral strength, which helped him to go through the experiments carried out in prison on prisoners. They were injected with the Venom drug, which killed most of the test subjects, but Bane not only survived, but also escaped, creating a special mask for himself so that his body could receive Venom.
Once in Gotham, Bane began to implement his plan to destroy the city. Bain disabled Batman, kidnapped Robin, set free the crazy wards of a psychiatric hospital.
Bane was not only very strong physically due to constant and hard training, but also not very stupid. Constant self-education, as well as the innate abilities of a strategist, allowed him to quickly figure out Batman and become the most serious and dangerous opponent of the hero.
Bane's image in the film "Batman and Robin" was embodied by actor Jeep Swanson. According to the film, Bane also survived after experiments in prison with Venom. However, the filmmakers stripped him of his intellectual abilities, making him an assistant to another Poison Ivy villain. Together they try to destroy Gotham, but both are defeated by Batman.
Bane was played by Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight Rises. His Bane does not have super strength, this is a man in excellent physical form with martial skills. Hardy gained 14 kilograms of muscle for this and looks truly menacing.
The mask performs a slightly different function here. Sitting in the Pit Prison, Bane suffered greatly from other prisoners, after which he began to constantly experience terrible pain. Then a mask was created for him, supplying an anesthetic gas to the body, which relieves him of pain and allows him to fight at the limit of his capabilities. Violation of the functionality of the mask leads to the complete disqualification of Bane, which Batman will take advantage of.
At will bane becomes Talia al Ghul's right-hand man, whom he patronized in The Pit. He helped her escape from prison, after which he was trained by the League of Shadows, but did not become a member. While attempting to destroy Gotham, Bane died by being gunned down by Selina Kyle. 5.0 out of 5 based on 1 rating
