God damned television capeshit fucking with my demigod. The "Gotham" series is going to throw Bane into season 5 by the look of it as well. The season's plot is straight up a rip of the Dark Knight rises except it's the proto-Joker blowing up the bridges and Batman is barely 18 years old. So now we get to see Bane ==PIC RELATED== fight an angsty teenage Batman. It wouldn't have been so bad if they had just cast some fucking adults in the show. The show set out to be about Batman's formative years, but they're trying to shove nearly all of his accepted character development into five seasons of made-for-TV drama, taking several decades of the character's in-universe life, and have it all out of the way before he's old enough to drink. To top it all off, they've changed Bane's entire backstory. A stoic man whose physical prowess is matched only by his intellect, raised in a brutish hell that forced him to adopt a lifestyle of constant struggle in order to survive is brought into the fold of Ra's al Ghul's order and is trained to harness that struggle to serve a higher purpose.
Now he is Jim Gordon's old army buddy.
There is an episode titled "Pena Duro" so they're going to try and shoehorn the prison into his backstory somehow. Oh, and here's the worst insult. Do you know why he was sent to Gotham in the show? As a "special ops government agent" according to executive producer John Stephens. ==They made Bane CIA==
Bane doesn't even break the Bat's back. He breaks Alfreds for some fucking reason.
