Behold... the ideal killing machine! I call this little number... BANE. BANE of Humanity!
~ Dr. Jason Woodrue commenting upon his new creation.

Antonio Diego, also know as Bane, is the secondary antagonist of the 1997 superhero film Batman & Robin, the fourth installment of Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher's Batman film series.

He is a former serial killer and the strong enforcer for Poison Ivy, serving as her right-hand and bodyguard. Bane was created by Dr. Jason Woodrue and was given his name as intended to be a "bane of humanity".

He was portrayed by Michael Reid MacKay (who also played The Mummy in Monster Squad, The Man Who Can't Breathe in Insidious: Chapter Three, Jason Stryker in X2: X-Men United, and Theodore Victor Allen in Se7en) as Antonio Diego and the late Robert Swenson as Bane.

Biography[]

In the case of Batman & Robin, and unlike the standard version of this character which lacks an actual name, Bane was originally 'Antonio Diego', a violent but diminutive serial killer serving a life sentence in the South American jail, Pena Duro, and the sole surviving "volunteer" for Jason Woodrue's 'Project Gilgamesh'. Diego was selected against his will by Dr. Woodrue to be the initial test subject for a 'super soldier program'.

His hair was first permanently removed, and then had five holes drilled into his skull with one on his chest, before being strapped to a table in front of an audience that comprised of foreign dictators, military generals, commanders, commissars, sheiks and terrorists, among other people. Dr. Woodrue placed a mask with three holes snaked to his skull on his head. He eventually pumped massive, concentrated doses of the experimental drug Venom into his skull and circulatory systems.

Diego becoming Bane.

Diego was screaming in pain for the first 15 seconds before his body started changing. The experiment was a success. Originally he was diminutive and scrawny, but after the Venom becomes effective, he becomes a hulking, vigorous, dynamic and monstrous abomination (yet docile and deluded) with almost inhumane strength. He was "the ideal killing machine" as Dr. Woodrue called him. Unlike most comic book appearances, he did not retain his above average intellect but was reduced to a less than average IQ. He was barely capable of speech and growls, snarls, and speaks only one- or two-word sentences.

Woodrue wanted to sell him to the highest bidder, but Pamela Isley had slipped into the psychotic scientist's lab and witnessed the experiment. Woodrue would find her and attempt to kill her by overturning various plants and toxins on her. However, this unintentionally mutated her rather than killed her.

After Pamela Isley became Poison Ivy and killed Dr. Woodrue, she took Bane to Gotham City as her new enforcer. Bane scared a gang out of a Turkish bathhouse so Ivy can claim it as her new hideout. He also fought off the Arkham Asylum to retrieve Mr. Freeze's cryogenic armor and freezing gun from the storage locker.

Freeze poison bane

At Mr. Freeze's hideout, Snowy Cones Ice Cream Factory, Batman and Robin, along with Commissioner Gordon and the Gotham City Police Department, investigated the hideout for clues to the criminal's whereabouts. During the investigation, Batman and Robin discovered that Poison Ivy was close by after getting a dose of her pheromone dust. Following its direction, they began to look for Ivy, only to be confronted and challenged by Bane, who proved more than a match for the Dynamic Duo with his ferocious strength. Ivy and Bane successfully escaped arrest and fled. Bane eventually accompanied Mr. Freeze to Gotham Observatory and assisted him in taking control of the new telescope, also placing Freeze's icicle bombs around the area.

Bane defeated

When Batman, Robin and Batgirl arrived to stop them, Mr. Freeze ordered Bane to kill the kids, Batman's two young comrades, while he fought the Dark Knight himself. Bane encountered Robin and Batgirl in a cave within the cliffs on which the observatory was built, pinned them both against a wall and attempted to strangle them to death. Robin and Batgirl kicked Bane's main supply tube, disconnecting it from the back of his head and stopping the Venom circulation to his brain in the process. This in turn caused Bane massive withdrawal, and quickly reverted him back to his skinny self.

He was left behind by Robin and Batgirl as they escaped, but what happened to Bane afterwards is ultimately left ambiguous, as there is no evidence that he died in the fall of the Telescope Platform that occurred shortly afterwards. However, what appears to be the pool of Venom around him is seen around part of the fallen telescope.

Trivia[]

  • This depiction of Bane was one of many aspects of the film which received harsh criticism from fans and critics alike. Most fans criticized how Bane was depicted like a "babbling gorilla" who just followed orders whereas his comic book counterpart was intelligent and calculating enough to be able to break Batman's back during the critically acclaimed Batman: Knightfall story arc.
    • Ironically, however, this incarnation of Bane in film is partly faithful to his appearance and powers in the comic books, as the Nolanverse incarnation of Bane is more a terrorist than a serial killer who wears no wrestler clothes and is strong because of extensive training rather than using Venom - although, the comic version had achieved peak physical condition while still imprisoned in a Santa Priscan prison, with him afterwards resorting to Venom as to boost beyond his human limitations; in some stories, he ceased taking the super steroid, yet maintained exceptional strength through training alone.
    • While on Venom, Bane's veins can turn green, yet his skin tone remains natural; this version, however, has his skin shift into a greenish hue after being injected with the chemical.
  • This version of Bane appears to take a lot of inspiration from a henchman of Poison Ivy from the 80s comics called Ivor, originally named Ivan, whom was a taciturn assistant to Poison ivy that rarely spoke in more than simple sentences. The scene of Bane driving a wig wearing Poison Ivy to the airport is identical to a scene in 1982 comic, Batman 339 with Ivor in Bane's place. Like Bane, Ivor was eventually turned into a half plant creature.
  • Rather than being the devious and intelligent villain of the comics, this version is an inarticulate thug who serves as the bodyguard, henchman and assistant to Poison Ivy and later Mr. Freeze. Bane is barely even capable of speech and uses growls, roars, and snarls for most of his communication; only occasionally roaring single words or short, incoherent sentences. Despite this particular change in his character, he is still muscular, wears an accurate replication of his classic costume and mask, and is still superhumanly strong; easily overpowering various thugs, police officers, and holding his own against the main characters in close-quarters combat.
  • This interpretation of Bane varies from most appearances in comics, in that when strengthened by Venom he does not retain his above-average intellect and cunning, but rather is reduced to a far less than average I.Q. Having near god-like physical strength, yet often having an intellect far below that of their enemies, is a cliche that can be viewed among other opponents in Batman's rogues gallery, including Solomon Grundy, and in many interpretations and Killer Croc.
  • This is so far the only circumstance when the character has an actual name other than Gotham. In every other situation he is present, he is simply known as 'Bane'.
