Dark Knight Rises: Bane - Origin and Opinion

In case the people that watched the Dark Knight trailer didn’t know, the chanting near the end,

“BANE,BANE MÁTALO! MÁTALO! BANE,BANE MÁTALO! MÁTALO!”

Means “BANE, BANE KILL HIM! KILL HIM! BANE, BANE KILL HIM! KILL HIM!”

SO! We may expect some huge fight between Bane and Batman, in front of a crowd. This makes sense since in the comics Bane is a luchador. 

To give brief background, Bane was literally raised from practically birth inside the prisons of the fictional country of Santa Prisca, because his father, a revolutionary, fled the courts and escaped. So, it was decreed that his son (Bane) would finish the life sentence for him. 

He  found teachers in the prison that ranged from hardcore killers (he committed his first murder at the age of 8, always concealing a knife in his teddy bear), to an elderly priest that gave him a "classical education" (much like Edmond Dantes did if you ever read/watched The Count of Monte Cristo). 

He was chosen as a test subject for an experimental steroid-like drug called Venom, which he succeeds in surviving. The drug increases his muscle mass and strength of the already strong body builder by at least 10 fold. The drawbacks of the drug were that it had to be fed into his brain, and it was highly addictive, causing massive pain if not recieving dosages every 12 hours. He escapes prison when he hears of the Batman and deduces that he is his only true challenge.

So we can expect him to be……

Okay maybe not that one….

Please God no…. for the love of Crom…

well…. that’s what was SUPPOSED to be him…

But we have…

Not exactly “Luchador”.. but whatever….

This can also mean TWO possible outcomes.

1. Batman of course will win despite the odds being against him, and I do mean pretty big odds…

or 2:

As true to the comics, Bane will break Batman’s Back…

And then of course Batman recovers, and finds a way to beat him, now knowing that he should aim for the Venom tubes, blah blah info already known.

Personally, I do have high hopes for Bane being used as a character for the movie, because I REALLY don’t want the movie to be bad…

The reason why the movies Batman Begins and Dark Knight were so good was because it stayed in the realm of plausibility.

For all we know, there COULD be a society of assassins headed by Liam Neeson in the mountains. And yes, i can believe that a homicidal psychopath can cause havoc while hiding in clown make-up. 


Did John Wayne Gacy’s existence prove nothing?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the first Joker. Before Ceasar Romero and Jack Nicholson…

But when you tell me that Bane was chosen, my mind goes back to Schumacher and… and…..

No….

Noooooo….

NOOOOO NOOO NOOOOOOOO! BAT-CREDIT CARD??? NOOOOOOOOO!

ahem..*shudders*

Look, we know that villains that can increase muscle mass in seconds dont exist. Much like freeze guns. And someone thinking using plastic muscles with bat-nipples was a good idea. 

So, all I am saying is that I hope this movie would make something good with the source material it chooses. Some comic-book fans might hate it. Some might not. But hey, it was good the first time, and AMAZING the second. So why not the third.
