Bane (comics) facts for kids
Bane is a made-up character from the Batman comic books by DC Comics. He was created by Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench, and Graham Nolan. Bane first appeared in a comic book called Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 in January 1993.
Bane is a supervillain in the Batman stories. He is very strong and wears a Mexican wrestling mask. He uses a special chemical that makes him super strong. This chemical flows into his body through tubes connected to a tank on his suit. Bane is one of Batman's toughest and smartest enemies. He is famous for being the only character in the comics who has truly defeated Batman, both in strength and mind.
Bane has been played by actors in movies. Jeep Swanson played him in the movie Batman & Robin. In that movie, Bane looked like his comic book version with a Mexican wrestling mask, but he did not talk. Tom Hardy played Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. In this movie, Bane's mask covered only his mouth and nose, so his eyes could be seen. He also had a muffled voice with a Caribbean accent.
