Bane (Nolanverse)

Bane is the main antagonist of the 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises. He is more realistic than the original version of Bane and therefore is much smaller, though still a very muscular and intimidating person. He does not appear to use Venom, as his mask only gives him anesthetic for a preexisting jaw injury. Bane leads an army of inmates broken out of Arkham Asylum with whom he intends to destroy Gotham City for unknown reasons. He also employs Catwoman.

A popular theory is that Bane will actually kill Batman. Another theory is that he is actually working for a revived League of Shadows and was trained by Ra's Al Ghul.
