City of bane

[hoopsguru]

Been off of Batman since the War of Jokes and Riddles....but for some reason the City of Bane looks enticing? Sell me on it, sell me against it. Is it worth jumping back in on the Caped Crusader's adventures?

If you like an emotionally crippled, ineffectual, lovelorn Batman who is totally dependant on his erstwhile romantic partner for purpose and to be an effective crimefighter this is the storyline for you. Furthermore, if you've ever wondered what would happen if Batman embraced his inner loathing to a point where he could barely function I'd highly recommend King's run as a whole.

Bane once broke Batman's body now he's broken his mind heck I'd say his spirit as well. I suppose this is one positive or point of interest. Still, IMO, it doesn't make up for the ocean of crap the reader must wade through.

If you are a masochist or enjoy the "deconstruction" of iconic characters, sure go right ahead.

King is done with deconstruction. The final act of his run is reconstruction.

the lead up to City of Bane was long and pretty boring but City of Bane is a fun (but grim) recontextualization of Gotham under Bane's rules. it's probably the best part of King's run in a while.

As the famous Canadian Comedian, Red Green once said - "if it isn't broke you aren't trying". I guess King took this advice to heart especially when it came to Bruce/Batman oh and his supporting cast, his family, his world, his history, his (relative) mental stability, his competency as a crimefighter, well you get the picture.

King wouldn't know how to reconstruct something -or construct- even if his live depended on it.

Just to answer question.

From what I am understanding from your question; you are asking: "Did the Prime Earth Batman beat Bane? After that did Thomas Wayne shoot Batman and did Bane break Thomas Wayne's back?"

Yes Batman did beat Bane in a fight.

Thomas Wayne did NOT shoot Batman he was trying to tell Bruce that he should not be Batman and that everything that he did with Bane was to show Bruce how wrong he was.

Bane did break Thomas Wayne's back but we do not know what has happened since then since the new writer has not addressed this yet.

The story can be confusing, but Tom King the writer of the story had to rush and finish his story because he was kicked off the book and because of that the story jumps through time.

My take is that King could have written it better but he simply did not have time.
