Bane (DCAU)

Bane knows from growing up in prison that the toughest doesn't always win. Neither does the smartest. But if the toughest is also the smartest... he's unbeatable.

History

History of character is unknown.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Bane was an Olympic-level athlete with immense strength even without Venom. When the Venom was injected into his brain (from a dispenser usually mounted on his arm, and fed through tubes connected to his mask), he achieved superhuman strength and endurance (although not enough to defeat Superman).

However, the Venom could be dangerous when used in excess; during their first encounter, Batman defeated Bane by triggering an overdose of the drug into Bane's head, stopping the flow just before Bane literally burst.

Abilities

Chemically induced super-strength, highly intelligent, with a talent for planning and careful study of his target.

Notes

Bane was voiced in Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and The New Batman Adventures by Henry Silva. Notably, Silva used a thick Latin American accent for his first appearance, but lessened his accent subsequently.
In the direct-to-video release Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, and the video game Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu, he was voiced by Hector Elizondo.
