>If you're working alone,
You don't get to bring friends
>wear a mask
Patrick Bateman has answered the question of "Why does he wear the mask?" CIA isn't the only one who didn't get to bring friends, Bane also didn't. His henchmen are all disposable tools to him, not his friends or comrades. Essentially, Bane is "alone" which is why he wears the mask.
>I'm not afraid to be seen standing up to these guys.
Getting caught is part of his plan.
>It's not FOR YOU, it's to protect the people you care about
Wearing a mask and being a Big Guy isn't something you do for yourself. You do it for someone else. Bane is "alone" because the only person he really cares about is Ra's al Ghul and he wants to protect the legacy of the League of Shadows.
>Count to 5 then throw.
Now is not the time for fear. That comes later (in 5 seconds).
>You got something bigger in that belt?
This is a reference to CIA doing the power stance with his fingers stuck in his belt loops. CIA isn't a Big Guy, but he tries to give off the appearance that there's something Bigger to him behind his belt.
>Scene ends with Hothead cowering down and covering his head as Patrick Bateman causes a gigantic explosion which the Hothead fears, proving that the fire has risen far and above him, cleansing him of his Hothead status and beginning his transformation into a Big Guy.
This scene is pure Bane kino, I'm glad you pointed it out anon. We may need to study it further and do more cross referencing with the Plane Scene, this could be the Big breakthrough we've been looking for to advance our knowledge of Baneology.
