Bane in Batman: Arkham Asylum

Up to this point we've really only seen the Joker as the main villain in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum game (and possibly Harley Quinn). Rocksteady wants you to know that while the Joker is the main bad guy you'll be contending with, he's going to throw other villains in your way. One of those villains happens to be Bane. Rocksteady Studios just released a "reveal" video for Bane. It shows Batman and Commissioner Gordon stumbling upon a shriveled Bane, strung up and begging for freedom. Batman is in awe of his condition, but right as he's about to set him free Joker chimes and and pumps Bane full of the magic juice that makes him a tank. From there, it's your standard Bane anger as he flings Batman through a brick wall. Here's the Bane bio courtesy of Rocksteady: REAL NAME: Unknown OCCUPATION: Professional criminal BASE OF OPERATIONS: Gotham City EYES: Brown (when on Venom: Green) HAIR: Brown HEIGHT: 5 ft 6 in (when on Venom: 6 ft 8 in) WEIGHT: 140 lb (when on Venom: 350 lb) FIRST APPEARANCE: Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 (January, 1993) Imprisoned from birth to serve his dead father’s sentence, Bane was raised inside the horrific environs of a Santa Prisca prison.

But Batman recovered and managed to best Bane, cutting off the precious Venom supply that transforms Bane into a superhuman.
