I am Bane, the last opponent you will ever face.

— Bane

Bane is a constant enemy to Batman. With his use of Venom, he can increase his strength to far beyond that of a normal human.

History

Bane once attacked a Gotham bank when he was messaged by the Penguin, asking if Bane wanted to join a supervillain gang that the Penguin was organizing. Before Bane could reply, he was captured by Batman, Batgirl, and the hero's new sidekick Robin.

Later, Bane was taken from jail by a new vigilante named Rumor. Rumor planned to kill Bane and many other supervillains, but Batman stopped him. Bane tried to kill his rescuer and was taken to jail yet again.

Bane later resurfaced as one of the villains who helped fight the Joining alongside Joker, Penguin, Mr. Freeze and the GCPD.

Bane was one of the supervillains alongside Mr. Freeze, Black Mask, and Basil Karlo who was hired by Lex Luthor to attack Superman, although Batman and Robin stopped them.
