What are the /co/-litical implications of Bane being a rip-off from an older story?
>>150976296you could say that about KG beast. theres alot of roid heads in gotham
>>150976296There was a one off villain whose name I can't recall that had a mask with wires that feed a drug to his neck and made him stronger, he was similar looking to Bane and came out before him as well
>>150976296>3! Pick 3 my lord!
>>150976296Bane fucking sucks and I'm sick of pretending otherwise. One story. That's all. They even tried to make him Bruce's half brother or some shit. It went no where. This guy should've always been a one-off similar to the dude in OP's pic He just happened to be the only villain to put Batman out off work for a year
>>150976296Thumbnail looks like he's got some saggy tits
>>150977627Bad perspective drawing, where the penciler and inker want to have their cakes and eat them, too, by having both a dramatic angle while showing the bodies of the characters in full, which ends up making the bottom of this jobber of the day's thorax look like breasts.>>150976296floppyfaga have become so accustomed to having publishers shovel half-baked, stale shit into their mouths, and taking it so willingly, that it's only in long-overdue retrospectives that there's any amount of critical evaluation about what they've consooomed.
>>150977627He has gyno. Don't be insensitive
Was Bane ever retconned to straight up be a luchadore? I know he was inSchumacher's movie but if it was canon in the comicsthis is genuinely getting awkward
>>150977627Fuck, I can't unsee now
>>150976296>>150976369This is the real proto Bane
>>150978083In the "Batman 66" comic series Bane was a Mexican wrestler
>>150978936
>>150976296The thumbnail looks like a hooded woman with big tits. Major disappoint.
>>150976296Killer Croc is also a proto Bane
>>150978976I find funny that some of the comics have a "Hispanics like Bane" thing going on, how in that shitty arc about the cannibal family that wanted to eat the Joker Gordon sees a giant "Day Of the Dead" style painting of Bane in the Hispanic town that's apparently within Gotham and claims that they see him as a hero
>>150978883Look at those skinny legs
>>150978883Amygdala?
>>150979036Isn't Pena Dura literally in South America though?
>>150976296Tell that to Batman's snapped spine.
>>150979489I think the Nolan Movie is the only one where Bane is Arabic (right I know Tom Hardy is Irish but he's playing an Arabian)
For fuck sake
>>150979502>only one where Bane is Arabic (right I know Tom Hardy is Irish but he's playing an Arabian)His accnet is "Romani Latin" and he is light skinned
>>150979489Yes, it is near Cuba, in Batman TAS they straight up gave him a Cuban accent and in both the Arkham games and Mystery of Batwoman movie Bane speaks in broken English mixing it with Spanish words
>>150978976Okay. Either his horn is honking his name or it's the crowd. But I want to believe its the former.
>Holy Gallows!
>>150978083Graham Nolan's idea was that Bane modeled himself after Luchadors because that was some of the little entertainment he got to see on TV in prison as a kid.
>>150976296>>150976308Dixon and Nolan have outright aid that part of the idea for Bane was to make a bigger, badder KGBeast so it's no secret
>>150979533>"Señor Batman"
>>150979010Killer Croc exists to be Mogged by Bane. >>150978979Huh. Every villain except Croc and Bane has had a gender swap. Why are there no female Banes?
>not a hooded muscle mommy with exposed breastsAnd I'm out
>>150979748>Why are there no female Banes?He has a "daughter"/clone named vengeance.
>>150979806Mamacita
>>150976296>>150978883>>150978883>60s: one-shot throwaway villain>70s-80s: same concept but expanded to a multi-part story before getting binned>90s-00s: same concept but now a recurring character
>>150979528HE DIDN'T FLY SO GOOD
>>150979806I meant literally Bane but a woman. Like when they put Mad Hatter in the Batwoman show but it was a chick
>>150976296There's nothing new under the sun.
>>150981167It's crazy that people still don't realize this despite the existence of the internet.
>>150979531I thought his Bane was a slav
>>150976296>>150976308Dr. Phosphorous was in the Shadow radio show before he became a Batman villain. That’s also where the name “Matches Malone” came from.
>>150976296Yeah, but bane did it in a cooler way.
Fuck Bane
>>150981167What about this dick
>>150979010>>150979748Killer Croc and Bane have very little in common character-wise.>>150979036I could see it as some kind of machismo thing, but it'd definitely be 3rd-gen Chicanos pushing it.
>>150978976
>>150987012Early croc who was a new crimelord in Gotham who was both brains and brawn and uprooted the status quo of Gotham crime and isn't too dissimilar from Bane's first story.
