Bane

[kryptonitemonkey]

It always annoys me how each new incarnation of Batman, be it cartoon or movie, can never seem to do justice to Bane. I mean, I consider Bane to be one of the biggest all-time Batman villains, with a comic arc spanning dozens of issues or more, and yet, he never is done justice. This is the man who grew up in one of the worst prisons in the world paying for the crimes of his father, who was strong enough to come to Gotham City and actually break Batman. I mean, this is the only man who methodically wore down Batman, learned his moves, figured out within a day or two who he was, and then completely crippled him. It's had huge repercussions throughout the comics, and yet, still he gets but one episode. The movie version was a joke, but then, I don't expect a lot from the movies (I still think Jim Carrey would have made a much better Joker than Riddler), except a good once through. The cartoons though, they annoy me that they don't seem to try that hard. I mean, at least go for a to be continued or something. The new cartoon, "The Batman" (which is really not that good compared to Batman: The Animated Series) just had Bane show up, pump up, throw Batman around a little, have Bats make a big suit, then have Bats beat him. There was nothing there. Okay, big strong guy, oooh. They could just have easily used killer croc or something. This concludes my rant.
