AHAHAHAHA!

I wish his management hadn't made him shut down his Myspace and deprived us of things like this.

I wonder why they do that...

I'm not a fan of Metalica but I always thought this would be a awesome theme for Bane

Question: Does Bane pose more of an overall threat to Batman than Riddler?

 

[regwec]

Yes.

Question: Does Bane pose more of an overall threat to Batman than Riddler?

Depends, but I say yes. Bane is considered one of the most intelligent foes Batman has ever come across, on top of that he is physically extremely dangerous, he is a tactician and physically a threat to Batman. So I would say yea he is more dangerous then the Riddler.

 

[jazzmatik]

Okay, thanks guys. I wasn't actually sure which one was considered more intelligent.

It really depends on how Nolan would write them.

Well, none of Batman's villains are stupid, they're all pretty intellectually gifted in some way or another. But the ones that can best him physically alongside it can be a dangerous combination.

That's true, but I'm talking about in regards to the comics.

Nigma actually probably has a higher IQ; he certainly shows more original thinking. But Bane has a better strategic mind (if measured by success), and Bane is a more dangerous personality. Nigma is less ruthless and more recreational in his approach to crime.

I like Bane's revamped design from B:TAS. Better than the original.

Riddler doesn't really kill and has a compulsion to tell Batman his plans through Riddles.

Yes, he's definitely more of a threat

That's a pretty good summary.

They both have very similar levels of obsession though.

Riddler is Batman's "Shocker". A Joke most of the time. Bane is one of his most dangerous foes.

What is the story called when Bane goes after his father? I have Demon of Bane and Knightfall and both of the Vengeance of Bane. I love hoe Bane Beats KGbeast

I was watching OVER THE EDGE again and I just remembered how brilliantly this episode fits into Nolan's Batman world. We have the cops (and Gordon) out to get Batman, infiltrating the cave, Batman realizing that it's time he quits his role, and a flashback to a crime SCARECROW - the only villain to appear in two consequent films - committed. They could just show that the 'Barbara' who died isn't Babs, but her mom. Get Sarah in there somehow and finally have that iconic showdown between Bane, Batman and Gordon on top of GCPD HQ.

It's too bad we won't see Bane pick up the Bat-signal and throw it at Batman.

Definitely, even more so when Jeph Loeb's writing - he used that reputation twice to pull the wool over the reader (WHEN IN ROME and HUSH).

Bane's more of his Doomsday or Venom (uh...bad example?) and its fitting that the final chapter to Batman Begins ends with someone like Bane - just as a third Superman film would be awesome with Doomsday. The only thing telling me otherwise is the sheer fact that I have to CONVINCE myself when I'm saying that

Hmm... Maybe we'll get Bane lifting Batman instead and throwing him at the Batsignal.

It's a great episode, but they would most definitely have to alter Gordon's position in that story. It worked so well precisely because the depth of betrayal Gordon felt was enough to completely throw away all the loyalty he had for Bats. That relied solely on Batgirl's existence because there was the personal connection, and all the years she was active was equally the same amount of time Batman wasn't being entirely truthful.

The other story elements fit relatively well with Nolan's films, you're right about that. A nice blend between that episode, Knightfall, and original ideas from Nolan would compound to a potentially smashing finale.

There is no bat-signal, remember? Gordon destroyed it...

Here's a thought, what if Bane kills Scarecrow? Since he had a cameo in TDK, I'm expecting him to show up one more time just for the hell of it. The movie could open up with Scarecrow trying to do another deal, similar to TDK's opening, then Bane shows up and it's curtains for Crane.

Since the Scarecrow is a fairly big character in the series, I think killing him off would be great to show off that Bane is a whole new monster and the threat of death comes with him.
