A super villain in Warner Bros DC Comics, Bane is the nemesis of Batman and set to destroy Gotham City and the civilians within. In The Dark Knight Rises (2012), this highly intelligent, extremely strong villain is acclaimed to be the only anti-hero ever to "break the bat". He is a master in martial arts and mortal combat and Bane gets his super-human strength via the drug Venom. He is instantly recognisable with his mask and half British, half Caribbean accent.
