Batman Wiki wrote:Bane is an escaped convict from an island prison in South America and a super-villain/assassin. Bane has abnormal strength as a result of having had undergone experiments involving a derivative of the drug Venom. He became known as "The Man Who Broke the Bat" when he broke Batman's spinal cord, forcing Bruce Wayne to give up the Batman persona while he recuperated. Bane was originally created by writers Chuck Dixon and Doug Moench and artist Graham Nolan, and he first appeared in Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 (January 1993).

Originally intended as a "dark mirror" of the highly disciplined and multi-skilled pulp hero Doc Savage, Bane spends his childhood in the hellish prison of Pena Duro on the corrupt South American island nation of Santa Prisca. He develops superhuman strength through a forced experiment involving the drug Venom. Although his dependency on Venom is an immense weakness, Bane has been one of Batman's most intelligent and physically powerful foes. He is best known for breaking Batman's back in the "Knightfall" story arc.
Although primarily a villain, Bane is a complex character and has worked to take down drug lords. Despite their history, he has sometimes had Batman's financial backing and direct assistance.

Bane has appeared in some other media adaptations of Batman, including Batman: The Animated Series, its sequels and spin-offs and its successor The Batman. Pro-wrestler Jeep Swenson played him in the 1997 film Batman & Robin. He returned to the silver screen in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises, which has several influences from the Knightfall story arc. In many adaptations, he is more simplistic and thug-like than his comic book counterpart.


Again, Limbaugh makes connections and comparisons solely based on rhetoric and having absolutely nothing to do with the facts.

This is the same thing as CNN (and whoever else) getting the identity of the movie theater shooter wrong but running with it anyway. Today's news broadcasts care about who's first more than they do about who's factual. Ratings drives content. Money Money Money.



And Bane looks like an OWS.....

Limbaugh comments on Batman and libs go freaking nuts. Go figure... You morons and canadians might want to move a little farther away from your radio... just sayin'

Is that your go to insult? Someone disagrees with one of these radio personality nuts you emulate and they're Lib morons? ... I'm not a liberal, I believe in a smaller federal govt where the individual states decide things like abortion laws, gun control, gay marriage, etc. I just don't agree with the religious right who want everyone to be subject to moral standards that they themselves can't seem to live up to. I believe that personal freedoms trump collective agendas and therefore I believe that my financial well being is more important than a corporation's. I also believe in personal responsibility.

I'm also a gun toting comic geek, a heterosexual white male who supports gay marriage and minority rights, and a fat guy who thinks healthcare should be more expensive for people who don't take care of themselves i.e. smokers (am one), drug users (been one), over eaters (fat guy), etc.

I try to avoid responding to you or the other trolls but the name calling and the labels are really getting old. And frankly, the political opinions of teenagers mean fuckall to me as you're not even old enough to vote. But keep defending Limbaugh, Bachman, Beck, and all these other nut jobs with agendas. This is what I hear when you do ...
