Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The man who broke The Bat.Co-created by Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench and Graham Nolan, Bane was first introduced in the 1993 comic Batman: Vengeance of Bane and his backstory was established in Knightfall.Bane never had it easy. He was sentenced to life in the prison Peña Dura before he was even born, due to the corrupt government of his home country, Santa Prisca, punishing him for the crimes of his father. From early childhood, he was tormented of visions of a bat in his sleep. He developed his knowledge and skills in prison, learning how to defend himself, gaining a Classical education from a Jesuit priest, and mastering several languages. He slowly climbed up the social ladder of the prison, even committing his first murder at age eight, until becoming "king" of Peña Dura.The people in charge noticed this and forced him to be the test subject for an experimental Super Serum, Venomnote no, not that Venom. The drug, which had killed every subject before him nearly destroyed him too, but he survived and discovered that the drug also increased his strength vastly at the cost of being highly addictive and dangerous to stop using.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })He eventually escaped the prison with several others and set out for Gotham City because, like Peña Dura, it too was ruled by fear: the fear of The Batman, who Bane is convinced is the demonic bat from his nightmares.Bane became one of many of Batman's enemies, but he was best known for snapping Batman's spine during the events of Knightfall. Despite being a relatively recent addition to the Dark Knight's rogues, Bane quickly shot up to the A-List of Gotham's criminals and became one of Batman's most prominent foes ever since.Bane was originally created in order to replace Bruce Wayne with a different character in the role of Batman, Azrael. This was all in an attempt to make Nineties Anti-Heroes less popular, and it worked.He later weaned himself off the drugs and become something of an Anti-Hero himself, and was a member of the Secret Six until their dissolution shortly before the New 52 initiative. In the New 52, he seemingly never underwent any of his character development, but did break Batman's back.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })He has made appearances in many different DC adaptations, including Batman: The Animated Series, The Dark Knight Rises (played by Tom Hardy), and Young Justice. His video game appearances include the Batman: Arkham series, LEGO: Batman and Batman: The Enemy Within. | |

Super Intelligence: Of the super learning and Photographic Memory kind. However, he doesn't boast on his intellect. Or apply the knowledge he has learned to practical use, except strategic skills. Willpower and discipline are his more defining attributes anyway. | |

Poirot Speak | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_18e2980 | comment |
Poirot Speak: While Bane often drops Spanish words into his speech in the various adaptations he appears in, he's almost always written with perfect English in the comics. If you only know him from there and don't know his origin, you might not even realize that he's supposed to be Latin-American. There is one instance in the original Knightfall storyline which can, due to the afore-mentioned confusion, stick out like a sore thumb: "ANIMALÉ!" | |

Alternate Company Equivalent | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_200c8312 | comment |
Alternate Company Equivalent: Many see him as the Venom to Batman's Spider-Man; A larger, more muscular Shadow Archetype of the hero, Genius Bruiser and crappy life and all, who where The Dreaded in their debut, then suffered Badass Decay before being redeemed by later writers. They both are obsessed with defeating the hero (though for separate reasons) and both have had lengthy stints as anti-heroes. The fact that Bane's classic mask mildly resembles Venom and that Bane uses a drug called Venom only adds to the comparison. Death Battle even pitted the two against each other, and as of 2018, they've both been portrayed by Tom Hardy. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: There were hints in his origin that he might have actually been Bruce Wayne's half-brother, as various passing references indicated that his father had been a foreign doctor who had fled the country. While Batman having to deal with the idea of the saintly image he's built up of his father being tarnished might have been interesting, it's pretty understandable why future writers declined to follow up on this. This was eventually resolved when Bane himself tracked down his father Edmund Dorrance. Thomas Wayne was floated as a possibility but blood tests disproved it fairly quickly. | |

Fantastic Drug | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_2cd22076 | comment |
Fantastic Drug: One of the foremost "fictional drug" users in comics, as he is almost always shown with his Venom super-steroid. He does have a replacement "drug" he abuses in the I Am Suicide storyline, complete with what appears to be addiction and a more laid-back complacency when using: Psycho Pirate's mood-altering powers. He's so addicted that "withdrawal" leads to him taking up venom again for his Roaring Rampage of Revenge in the following arc, I Am Bane. | |

Even lampshaded by Ra's Al Ghul during a sword duel which he used as part of a "Reason You Suck" Speech to describe how despite Bane's strength he lacks the finesse and grace of the Batman. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Releasing every single inmate from Arkham Asylum allowed him to wear down Batman enough to confront him and break his back. Up to Eleven in Tom King's run. At first, he appears to be involved in "only" the minor role of the second and third storylines, "I Am Suicide" and "I Am Bane," and of the two, Batman is actually the aggressor of "I Am Suicide" by coming after Bane first. However, it is later revealed that Bane was orchestrating everything since the beginning of Rebirth in "I Am Gotham," carrying on well beyond his "defeat" in "I Am Bane." Not only had he fully intended for Batman to come after him AND planned it out to manipulate who Batman brought along for the mission, he also successfully planned how JOKER would subtly influence Catwoman's decision to abandon her wedding, despite Joker's tendency towards unpredictability AND without ever having Joker wittingly involved in his plan. | |

Boring, but Practical: His first plan to break Batman. Bane broke more or less Batman's entire rogues' gallery out, handed them military-grade weaponry and just let them run loose with it. Then he simply waited until Batman ran himself to the point of utter mental and physical exhaustion before attacking himself. It worked. | |

Worthy Opponent: Bane considers Batman to be this. Batman zig-zags on this in reverse since Bane is a monster but has a crude form of honor. Ra's Al Ghul proclaimed Bane as the second most dangerous man in the world after his Batman Gambit to outwit Ra's to the point he declared Bane the only suitable mate for Talia besides Batman himself. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: The Bane that was originally introduced was much more cruel and petty than the version that has endured today. Though he was arguably portrayed as smarter than he often was afterwards, he also murdered prostitutes and was out to destroy Batman for little reason other than the "find the toughest guy in the place and beat him up" gambit. Flash forward to years later, after Bane has actually adapted to life outside the hellish prison he grew up in, and he's one of the few villains honorable and articulate enough that Batman will actually chat with him as they fight. | |

Combat Pragmatist | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Given his upbringing in a brutal prison, Bane naturally had to become this just to survive. Additionally, in contrast to the also pragmatic Bat-Family and due to his rather villainous nature he isn't afraid to use lethal force or firearms if the situation warrants it. In fact, given his great strength, he can make use of much heavier artillery than most of Batman's other foes, who usually stick to handguns. Bane on the other hand has made use of a bazooka to blow Arkham wide open, a gatling gun to demolish Two-Face's army of goons, and a miniature nuke to destroy some evidence. | |

| Bane (Comic Book) / int_52c0c7cf | comment |
Motive Decay: Bane wanted to overcome his fear of bats by defeating Batman and taking over his city, which he did. After that, there was really no reason for Bane to want to go after Batman since it wasn't even Bruce Wayne who defeated him. Thus, the writers have often had to come up with rather oddball reasons for Bane to want to go after Batman since the former doesn't really have anything against the latter anymore. | |

Self-Made Orphan: A major goal of his. The only time he wasn't interested in it was when he thought he was Thomas Wayne's illegitimate son. Bane gave a Disney Villain Death to his father, who turned out to be Edmund Dorrance AKA King Snake. This actually appeared to have stuck until the New 52 reboot. | |

The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Bane dislikes the possibility of the Joker-Scarecrow alliance defeating Batman, as the hero is his to break. Besides, he keeps Bruce's identity as a secret because he likes to have that trump card for his own use only. He beat the Joker to a pulp during the No Man's Land arc for possibly ruining his chance to confront Batman. | |

Super-Toughness | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_9eb71c7c | comment |
Super Toughness: In his original appearance, part of the Super Soldier project he underwent was implanting subcutaneous armor implants — or, in layman's terms, peeling him open and inserting slabs of bullet-proof plastic into his flesh over his vital spots. This made him extremely resistant to damage, as most attacks would penetrate the skin and then be absorbed by the armor plating. | |

Fridge Brilliance | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_b0cd3349 | comment |
Essentially, Bane's entire childhood was this as he became a physical paragon in prison. Where he gained his extensive education and detective skills has never been touched upon. This may be Fridge Brilliance in that, while the prison he was brought up in was full of rapists and murderers, the government of Santa Prisca was clearly not picky whom it threw in there. No doubt plenty of intellectuals and (non-corrupt) cops found their way into the hole as well. | |

Generic Doomsday Villain | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_c250346f | comment |
Generic Doomsday Villain: He started out as this, (though he did at least get an issue to explain his backstory beforehand), rolling into Gotham, easily breaking Batman's Rogues Gallery out of Arkham, quickly deducing Batman's secret identity, before ultimately breaking his back and, having served his purpose, gets thrashed by Azrael in what almost seemed like a bit of an afterthought. Eventually the writers fleshed Bane out more, giving him an identity beyond being "the guy who broke Batman's back once". Unfortunately, there is also a tendency for some of his portrayals (especially in adaptations to other media) to focus on the steroidal "Venom" aspect of his character and nothing else meaning that once someone cuts his tubes, he goes down quick. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp / Adaptational Badass: Different incarnations zig zag with his established physical capabilities and strategic mind. In several works he is largely impotent without venom, rendering his intake pump a huge weak spot. This is the default method of defeating him in works like Batman & Robin. In The Dark Knight Rises venom is replaced with an anesthetic gas in his mask to keep him stable from chronic pain, but otherwise meaning that his physical abilities are entirely him. In Batman: Arkham Origins he's portrayed as a 7 foot tall, 500 pound monster who uses venom only after a lengthy fight with Batman where they seem evenly matched. In his Rebirth incarnation, he skews more towards the "Badass" aspect in that era compared to his Post-Crisis Knightfall counterpart who defeated and broke Batman only after he freed all the Arkham rogues and completely exhausted Batman in a chase to hunt them all down. In The Fall And The Fallen, Batman again fights most of his rogues but this time beats them all up one after another at Arkham instead of separately throughout multiple tiresome nights. By the time Batman confronts Bane at his mansion, he wasn't in a state of exhaustion and this time, Rebirth Bane defeats and breaks Batman when he wasn't tired out and still around his rough physical peak. | |

The Chessmaster | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: Engineered the events in Knightfall to defeat Batman. He also defeated another expert Chessmaster, Ra's Al-Ghul, in chess without ever having played it. Tom King played up this side of him particularly heavily during his run. His scheme to break Batman mentally and take over Gotham required the exact actions of Hugo Strange, Gotham Girl, Psycho Pirate, Holly Robinson, the Ventriloquist, and additional villains to work together without giving away his involvement prematurely. It also required convincing Batman of Bane's own "defeat" multiple times, influencing Batman's own strategies for picking out his "I Am Suicide" team, correctly predicting how disconnected individuals like Joker and Booster Gold would react in the right situations, AND how Scarecrow's fear toxin would need to influence Batman's mind in a controlled way. Not only do the pieces fall into place successfully, he is TERRIFYINGLY effective all the while. | |

| Bane (Comic Book) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: For a long while after Knightfall, the writers forgot he was supposed to be a Genius Bruiser and wrote him as a Dumb Muscle. This has since been thankfully fixed courtesy of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy and Gail Simone's run on Secret Six. Tom King writes Bane as almost obsessed with breaking backs, and Batman in turn keeps threatening to break Bane's back to the point where it starts feeling silly. | |

Masked Luchador: His design evokes this image, especially with his mask. Whether or not it brings out the Wrestler in All of Us, is up to the writer. When Bane was brought to Batman '66, it did. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Bane, essentially, has the morality of a prison yard and its weird rules as his guiding principles. He is offended and horrified at the revelation that the universe doesn't consider this righteous. | |

Prisons Are Gymnasiums | |
| Bane (Comic Book) / int_e9ae8248 | comment |
Prisons Are Gymnasiums: When Bane decides to get himself clean of Venom, he gets himself locked in solitary confinement in Blackgate and uses the time to rebuild his physique back till he is almost as tough as he had been on the drug. Essentially, Bane's entire childhood was this as he became a physical paragon in prison. Where he gained his extensive education and detective skills has never been touched upon. This may be Fridge Brilliance in that, while the prison he was brought up in was full of rapists and murderers, the government of Santa Prisca was clearly not picky whom it threw in there. No doubt plenty of intellectuals and (non-corrupt) cops found their way into the hole as well. | |

Hoist Hero over Head | |

Hoist Hero over Head: It's his Signature Move. The first time, he delivers the iconic back-breaker. The one pictured on the trope page is actually after that. | |
