Scot says (3:14 AM):
It just occurred to me that I have a surprisingly large number of pictures of Bane with firearms, when he has such a reputation as only being a hand-to-hand guy
Sorry, I just found that kind of odd as I'm going through my photobucket account...
Master Bruce says (3:15 AM):
That's always been odd to me, too
It's like you could hear the editorial at DC Comics going
"You know what this guy, the man we've built up as being an unstoppable killing machine that can break people with his bare hands needs? Bullets!!!"
Scot says (3:17 AM):
Don't forget the grenades!

Master Bruce says (3:17 AM):
Jesus!
I know he uses the roids, but you'd think if he were that big, his testicles are pretty much non-existant at this point.
Scot says (3:28 AM):
Meh, he quit the roids way back in 1995, although you wouldn't know that if you asked half the people at DC, and looked at every single version of him outside the comics. Some artists apparently didn't get the message either:

He's supposed to be completely non-superhuman in that picture
Master Bruce says (3:29 AM):
I don't know what freaks me out more
His size, or all of the wrinkles in Batman's massive cape
What the hell does he pay Alfred for?
Scot says (3:31 AM):
That really was my least favorite artist on the No Man's Land story, although he (or she? I can't remember) did provide some good shots of Bane murdering tons of dudes with guns and grenades, so it balances out for me.

Master Bruce says (3:33 AM):
See, that's a decent sized Bane.
Tall as all hell, but certainly not the Hulking behemoth he was.
And yes, that pun was totally intentional. Bruce Banner needed gamma rays to look like Bane did.
Scot says (3:35 AM):
Same artist as before, just really inconsistent. He also couldn't seem to decide whether Bane's mask covered his ears or not.
Master Bruce says (3:35 AM):
Inconsistency and Bane are like Batman and Robin - Totally inseperable.
Except when The Joker has a crowbar.
Scot says (3:36 AM):
and homoerotic
Master Bruce says (3:36 AM):
Well, there's still the mystery about the amazing chesthair
Scot says (3:45 AM):
BAM!

sexy, manly body hair!
Master Bruce says (3:45 AM):
God bless Secret Six
Scot says (3:45 AM):
Oh s**t, where'd it all go?!

Master Bruce says (3:46 AM):
Bane has the power to SHAVE HIMSELF
INSTANTANEOUSLY!
