That's pretty much what I've gone with. He's emoting through the pain.
Yep.

He was no doubt the most evil son of a **** in entire trilogy but all that to impress his little girlfriend?
Sometimes I really think that this movie would've been much better without Talia. Bane should've just escaped with his own power from hell and beat Batman as a symbol to ground. Hell he could've been just a terrorist reaping everything in his path.
He was a very evil character that shaked Gotham to its core and almost destroyed it...Then Talia appeared and we learnt that Bane loves puppies, destroys first world countries to fund third world countries and actually a very emotional man.
The Joker was quite evil and though not with brawn he ****ed with Batman's head, the death of Rachel etc.
He killed that Goon with the pencil, he killed the Batman wannabe and he had one ship blowing up potentially, he killed in random acts of violence.
Every bit as evil as Bane IMO.
Not to mention when those on the barges called his bluff and rose above his taunt, he had every intetnion of blowing them both up anyway.

I don't think he was the most evil. He loved and protected Talia since she was a child. That's more humanity than Joker ever showed since he never showed any at all.
Joker is more evil than Bane IMO. At least Bane cared for Talia. The Joker would never have protected an innocent child, so I guess Bane had some sliver of humanity in there somewhere.
Bane was probably second most evil though (or third after Talia).
The most sympathetic villain in the trilogy to me is by far Two-Face. No one else comes close.
It may be an unconventional way to think, but Bane truly doesn't exactly fit the mold of a typical superhero villain. I'm not calling the guy a hero, I'm merely stating that after seeing TDKR, he has done MANY heroic things. Sure some of them are up to debate, like:
The questionable acts of heroism:
[BLACKOUT]- Beating the unholy hell out of the goddamn batman. But in reality the guy is technically a multiple felon vigilante wanted by the authorities so it's almost like a citizens arrest.[/BLACKOUT]
[BLACKOUT]- Letting the criminals of Dr. "ScraeCrow" Crane have a slim chance of survival by walking over the ice rather than just shooting them in the head. Any chance at survival is better than none.[/BLACKOUT]
[BLACKOUT]- He killed Daggett, and that guy was a t-total sonuva ***** no matter how you slice it. That jerk-off had it coming and we all know it. The way he killed him was simply BRUTAL, but it ain't like the jerk wasn't asking for it.
[/BLACKOUT]
[BLACKOUT]- SAVED TALIA AND GOT A RESPIRATOR/SEVERE PAIN throughout his body for the rest of his life. NUFF SAID. ZERO regard for his own outcome, he knew he was going to be killed (ended up almost killed) but he saved her anyway.[/BLACKOUT]
I'm not saying "hey f**k batman lets all root for Bane", I'm just saying DAMN Nolan, you did it again, creating an ambiguous bad guy in the same vein as Ras Al Ghul.
Its just IMHO, but here was quite a bit of good behind Banes wickedness.
That was so SWEET when [BLACKOUT]Bane killed Daggett[/BLACKOUT], wasn't it?
He just [BLACKOUT]snapped his neck and then smothered him to death as he stood there paralyzed from the neck down [/BLACKOUT]F**KING RUTHLESS.

Yep, important distinction between them. I liked the fact that Bane wasn't just pure evil like the Joker. Both were awesome in very different ways.
What about Ken Watanabe? the guy invented a whole freakin language, only to get crushed by falling wood. and then, he's replaced in 2 seconds by a shorter, portly dude with a shabby mustache and a knock-of jacket.
That was Urdu. Its a real language.
I can't see Bane as sympathetic, either. His actions from the second he shows up are more or less pure insanity/evil. Yes, he saved Talia from the prisoners that one time, and suffered for it, but he was also in prison for a reason to begin with...so its not like he was this innocent guy who never did anyone wrong. The only sympathetic thing he does is to save Talia...the rest of the time, he's just misguided/evil. I wish they'd given us more hints at his backstory, seen more of the child being twisted by his environment. It seems that Bane's arc was intended to be some sort of twisted "redemption" in his eyes, but they never really set up or followed through on that angle.
I didn't think of Bane as sympathetic at all. He was true evil.
Two-Face was the best and only sympathetic villain of this series to me.
Pulling a poor man to the top of the world and then suddenly breaking his neck at his only real glimpse towards true happiness...That is the true definition of evil for me. For Joker I can say, as he stated himself in comics too, its just mindless violence for fun. He can never kill Batman like Bane does because he needs it, he can never nuke Gotham to hell without a second thought because is addicted to Gotham and Batman. Hurting everything on the path to those are evil but still survivable.
Bane just tries to destroy everything because he thinks that everyone should suffer as he did. They stole his life away from him. That and Talia are the only thing that makes him %1 human. Without Talia's love and desire stopping him, Im sure he'd just explode the bomb in stadium to end everything.
Hate to disagree with you there bud, but watch the batman begins blu-ray.
In the extras, Ken says very clearly that he made up the language he used for "ras".
