Bane (Telltale)

"Batman: "Who are you?" Bane: "A nightmare -- much like yourself. But you can call me Bane!""

- Batman meets Bane

Bane is a villain in the Telltale Batman universe, first appearing in the second episode, The Pact, of Batman: The Enemy Within. He is the series' adaptation of the DC supervillain of the same name.

The Pact
Moments after the death of their ally, the Riddler, Bane and his allies strike a coordinated attack on Gotham City.

Bane and some henchmen attack the GCPD Arsenal where they intend to steal the GCPD's weapons. While Bane's men kill the policemen there, Bane forces one of the workers to hand him the keys to the armoured transport vehicles. While his men transport the weapons into their vehicles, Batman arrives and starts taking out Bane's men. The rest of the goons soon start to realize that Batman is there. They alert Bane who makes his presence known by hurling the corpse of one of the dead policemen at Batman. He walks up to Batman, introducing himself and then swiftly attacking. While Bane's men circle the two, Bane mocks Batman for fighting alone. He then attacks Batman once more while also fending off the slowly advancing henchmen. Although he is beaten up, Bane merely laughs and claims that he now sees why Riddler wanted to be the one to kill Batman. When Batman replies that Riddler is dead, Bane's men are visibly shocked. Bane, however, is not taken aback and claims that he promised his henchmen a spectacular battle if he ever encountered Batman. He adds that he did not face a true warrior since he left Pena Duro Prison.

Batman and Bane then fight once more, with Bane once again telling his men to stand down. Eventually, Bane realizes that he cannot defeat Batman like that and injects himself with a dose of VENOM. As the VENOM courses through his veins, Bane grows far stronger. Not realizing Bane's new powers, Batman attacks him again only to be blocked, grabbed and thrown to the ground by Bane. Bane starts strangling Batman, claiming that he will honor him with a peaceful death, but is suddenly attacked by the worker Batman saved earlier. This gives Batman the oppurtunity to use his gadgets to tie Bane to one of the nearby SWAT vans but Bane uses his inhuman strenght to pull the SWAT car towards both of them. Both Batman and Bane manage to dodge the van but Bane then gains the upper hand and manages to grab Batman and throw him into a wall which breaks down above him. The VENOM inside Bane then starts wearing off and Bane doesn't search the ruins for Batman's corpse but instead drives off with his men and the weapons.
