Bane was the friend and supporter of Talia al Ghul and the theatre head of the League of Shadows. He was potent in both strategy and physical combat. He beat Batman in combat and formed the citizens of Gotham City with skillful oratory until Batman’s recovery and return. He presented his character predominantly through words in his eyes. Bane’s physical appearance was described by his mask, which hindered the intense pain that suffered his body to tolerable levels. He was portrayed by Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight Rises.

Bane may not be the most famous villain in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, but he has some great quotes.
