I'm sorry I haven't appreciated Bane enough and I promise I will more in the future. Now, do you feel in charge?

Gregory Lawrence Articles Published. This is surprising coming from such a talented director as Christopher Nolan who is usually so skilled at telling stories on an epic scale. In the comics, Bane was essentially Captain America gone wrong.
He was a part of an experimental super-soldier program that was supposed to create a race of supermen that could go off and fight wars for people.
However, the experiment went awry and created a huge, angry, incomprehensible, muscle-bound baddie. He was full of chemical agents, he was twice the size of a normal human being, and he was as always mad. Heath Ledger was scary as the Joker. As soon as he opens his mouth, that fear goes out the window.
He just kicked back for five months while their spirits were broken. But while he was putting off his actual plan, Bruce Wayne recovered and returned to Gotham. Where did Bane get five months from? It seems like a very arbitrary period of time. Despite the intense rivalry that grows between Bane and Batman and the fact that Bane raises an army, turns people against each other, and essentially brings on a whole new French Revolution confined within Gotham City, he has a disappointingly unceremonious passing.
The whole movie, which is almost three hours long, seems to be building up to some triumphant confrontation between Bane and Batman, and it does. If this guy was going out, he needed to go out in a major way.
The Dark Knight got away with its villain having an overly convoluted plan, because the Joker was an agent of chaos who just wanted to watch the world burn. He had political ambitions and a clear vision of what he wanted the world to look like. He essentially wanted to rid Gotham of crime and corruption by destroying it — not taking things on a case-by-case basis like Batman, which is what caused conflict between the two as it was a conflict of ideologies.
But still, his plan was as vague and convoluted as the Jokers'. Batman is a big, beefy, formidable presence. The Joker was a small, scrawny guy. That was actually a really cool choice that Chris [Nolan] made. Bane quintessentially is Latinx in origin The king of the gypsies, in inverted commas, is a bare-knuckle fighter and a boxer. And I showed Chris. I said Chris, we can either go down a sort of arch Darth Vader route, straight just neutral tone villain voice, or we could try this.
And that was that. And we played with it, and made it a bit more fluid, and now people love it [laughs].
