Quote1 Bane knows from growing up in prison that the toughest doesn't always win. Neither does the smartest. But if the toughest is also the smartest... he's unbeatable. Quote2
Batman src

Bane was a brilliant world-class fighter and tactical genius who augmented his great physical strength with a steroid called Venom. He was a frequent enemy of the Batman and his allies.

Origin

As part of Project Gilgamesh, a prisoner of Peña Duro was enhanced with the super-steroid Venom. A genius tactician, the prisoner used his newfound super-strength to escape and, using an arm-mounted Venom dispenser and a system of tubes, became the expensive mercenary and master criminal known only as Bane.[1]

Battling the Batman

When the Venom was injected into his brain (from a dispenser usually mounted on his arm, and fed through tubes connected to his mask), he achieved superhuman strength and endurance (although not enough to defeat Superman). However, the Venom could be dangerous when used in excess. During their first encounter, Batman defeated Bane by triggering an overdose of the drug into Bane's head, stopping the flow before Bane literally burst.[1]
