- —Bane to Batman
Bane (real name unknown) is a supervillain from DC Comics. He appeared in the 74th episode of Death Battle, Venom VS Bane, where he fought against Venom from Marvel Comics.
History
Born on the island of Santa Prisca in the Caribbean Sea and doomed to serve out his father's prison sentence, the unfortunate child, who would become known as "Bane", grew up around violence and brutality from day one. Though imprisoned, the child's natural abilities allowed him to develop extraordinary skills within the prison's walls, becoming a skilled and strong combatant. The prison's controllers took note and eventually forced him to become a test subject for a mysterious drug known as Venom. Bane survived the procedure and would continuously use Venom to gain enhanced strength. He eventually escaped and focused his efforts on defeating the Gotham vigilante known as Batman, as he was convinced that Batman was a personification of a demonic bat which had haunted his dreams since childhood. He destroyed the walls of Arkham Asylum and released the inmates, causing Batman to exhaust himself capturing the criminals once again. Bane took advantage of Batman's weakened state and broke the hero's spinal cord, becoming known as the man who "broke the bat." Since his climactic fight, he has been a recurring thorn in the Dark Knight's side for years.
