I gotta say Hardy was quite good as Bane despite the character not feeling like Bane when he is an unrealistic character when it could had been Riddler for Dark Knight 3 with Ventriloquist.

Neither of those villains really fit the requirements that Nolan wanted (Villain that could pose a physical threat to Batman)

I've always thought Hardy managed to emphasize the intellectual and competitive aspects of the character that almost all other representations of the character in media ignore. Bane's a physical threat to Batman, but he's as far from a dumb thug as you can get, and he's not just physically dangerous because of the Venom.

I sometimes think people are too quick to overlook the part of Bane's chronology where he'd kicked his addiction to Venom, and was still dangerous enough to come with inches of beating Batman in a fistfight on a burning boat, only to survive, half-reform, and decide that he'd be best served in making sure Ra's Al Ghul died by destroying his Lazarus Pits, knowing that time would finish his job for him.

Bane, in my opinion, should always be written with his intelligence, willpower, and personality in mind first and his physical capabilities second. Like when I first read Greg Rucka's No Man's Land novelization, and you spend two chapters with this cultured and charismatic mercenary Lex Luthor is hiring to mess up Gotham, and only realize after he's eaten a table's worth of gourmet food and mentioned breaking the Bat that it's Bane.

And then the book makes Batman negotiating with Bane while the latter is drinking a beer an awesome scene.

amazing villain, I probably prefer him over the joker, just is a lot more relatable and formidable.

I think I'm behind in Bane Conquest, but I'm so eager to read it all in one sitting on trade.

I've been really excited by Bane since King IMHO fixed him and put him back in villain territory.

The solicit for issue #11 of Conquest looks like he's back in the OG mask.

Oh my, didn't notice that until now. I appreciate that Nolan preferred the open mouth mask (and the ability to do more expressive face stuff), but I think he doesn't appreciate how much Bane fans like the original mask.

Wow, that's pretty great!

Yeah - the open mouth mask just breaks up the scariness of the mouthless mask.

Nothing important, I saw him in the 11 Most Popular Comic Book Characters Created in the Past 25 years:

Finally I could enjoy an issue of Bane Conquest. It’s been a while, but #10 showed that Dixon still can write something interesting and the return of the old mask was a plus too. Let’s see if it can keep the level or go even further

Dixon recently said on a podcast that Batman and Bane's conflict in the finale will have fans arguing for years. I'm quite intrigued...
