    Default Nightwing, Red Hood & Robin vs Bane?

    So I'm currently reading the "I am Bane" storyarc (I know I'm a little behind) & Part 1 ends with Nightwing, Red Hood & Robin being hanged in the batcave, having been defeated by Bane. My question is, is there any tie-in or issues from other books which actually feature the fight between the three of them against Bane?

    No, sadly.

    Yeah King just featured them eating and being warned and next hanged, In 50 issues King has disregarded any plot development on a lot of things, forcing the reader to latch onto just emotion.

    The Robin, Nightwing and Red Hood seen hanged in the Batcave aren't actually the real ones, but it does encourage Bruce to take them to Superman's Fortress of Solitude while Bane is loose. They way they were hanged, either it's people dressed as Robin, Nightwing and Red Hood, or dummies. The real intention was to strike at Bruce psychologically, and killing one of his proteges would have crossed the line for both Bane and Bruce.

    I just try and ignore anything King writes.

    (Hopefully DC will be doing that in the not-too-distant future, but . . . )

    That's how King explained it.
    Also, in pre new52 there is an issue with Dick and Tim defeating Bane in a simulation, so probably Dick, Jason and Damian will be able to take him down working together.

    Where did he explain it like that?

    I recall a line of dialogue from I Am Bane where Bane said something along the lines of "I will hang your sons, but this time I will pull on their feet until I hear their necks pop." So the implication to me was that Bane actually hung all of them, but did not break their necks, only asphyxiate them. Which was the weakest part of that story by far.
    It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?

    Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

    I remember King was asked about that (maybe on twitter) and answered that they were not defeated by Bane, it was Bruce who fought them and put them in the Fortress. He also added later that the three hanging in the cave were not the Robins, but a kind of warning.

    So either Bane casually beat all 3 of them within an inch of their life, or bruce beat the **** out of his own sons.

    Since I remember the page shows them in the tubes unharmed physically, I imagine it's less of a fight and more of a tranquilizer shot. He can get close to them easy and it would be much more efficient.

    I also can't imagine him beating up Damian.

    I'm glad it's not Bane who beat them up though because that means I miss an awesome fight scene

    No, they won't but Superman would've been holding them back by the scruff of their necks until they all calm down ^^

    Superman probably kept them in the refrigerator till Batman came back, then he took 'em all back to The Malt Shoppe--I mean, Bat-Burger, and let 'em thaw out.
