What Does Everyone Think of the New 52 Bane?

Batman

Bruce Wayne witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swearing to avenge them. He trained extensively to achieve both mental and physical perfection, mastering detective skills, martial arts, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on criminals' fear and utilizing a high-tech arsenal in his crusade to rid Gotham City of crime, the legendary Batman was born.

Here is a link to my review of Bane's most recent appearance in the pages of Batman: The Dark Knight Issue 6 with some of my thoughts about him:

I'm reserving judgement for now.

Not going to be reading TDK, but he looks horrible. Seriously, the Arkham Asylum/City look is s**t.

Even though TDK is cannon, I pretend it doesn't exist, even though I do admittedly read it for a good laugh. So until Bane appears in Batman, Batman and Robin, or even Detective Comics, in my eye's he still hasn't been shown in the N52.

Back to the Gimp mask? No thank you, I'll stick with Batman and Robin.

....so we're just going to judge the book by its cover (literally)?

I was never a fan of Bane but I hate when I see him in certain books,games,or animated series and he's nonsensically buff I get annoyed because I know that means they are going to make a mockery of his intellect and skill.

At least we got Batman by Snyder and Batman and Robin to negate Batman:TDK and Detective comics.

Look, he wasn't that big inside the issue, at least not more than you'd expect him to be on Venom. His speech indicated that he's still as intelligent as he ever was, and he was skilled enough to beat Bruce bloody (though it could be argued he was simply exploiting a major physical advantage). I agree that TDK is a poorly written series, but I'm sure that actually reading the issue and arriving at a conclusion that's not based on just a ridiculous cover isn't terribly hard to do.

I heard it wasn't that bad, read a couple of scans that were meh and for TDK meh is equivalent to a 10 on a 10 point scale.

My friend bought it I read it and I can confirm that by Batman: TDK standards this is good enough

I think he was as big as shown in the cover,the key difference being that Finch in the interiors made him leaner and cause he does'nt have that stupid bump on his back.

Im one of the very few that enjoys TDK and I think Bane looked good. It really wasnt enough of him to see about his intelect and personality, and how it is represented, but it didnt look downgraded. I have faith he will remain as much as a intelectual adversary to batman as he is a physical one

I think the cover was a little too much. But the story itself and the art? Man, I'm a big fan. Next to the Snyder Batman, it's the one bat title I crave the most.

The part of the last TDK I didn't enjoy was the fact that the new Venom was making Bane 'smart' as opposed to all the other users who it was near killing.

I have not had the chance to read him in the New 52

#23 Posted by jrock85 (2870 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago - Show Bio

I'd like to see Snyder or Tomasi write him.
