Okay, Bane orchestrating Selina leaving Bruce at the altar- I can buy that. Bane has always been an intelligent criminal, and has always found a way to get into Batman's head. Him orchestrating Bruce's entire recent relationship with Selina and proposing to her? I don't buy that for one second.
The only thing I'm interested in- aside from Dick as Batman for a while- is the lineup of people around Bane at the end of 50. Some people I get- Joker, Riddler, Ventriloquist, Stange. But I thought Psycho Pirate was away from Bane. I thought Batman cured Gotham Girl, and Holly was Selina's friend. So when did they start working with Bane?
Why is it comics were easier to understand in the seventies, when all of the writers were probably stoned when they wrote them?
