bullet::::- in "", the prequel game taking place roughly five years before the events of "arkham asylum", bane's character design resembles something of a composite between his traditional appearances in the comics and the more militaristic and "revolutionary" garb he wore in "the dark knight rises." unlike the first two entries in the series, the story of "arkham origins" showcases more of bane's character staples from the comics, particularly his intelligence, as well as his addiction to the venom formula. his role in "origins" is also comparatively larger than it is in any other "arkham" game, and he is the game's final boss. while no details are given in regards to the exact details of his origin, batman at first seems surprised that bane has turned up in gotham in the first place, implying that the character was already well-established in criminal circles by the time "origins" takes place, which is during batman's second year as a crimefighter. first appearing in the story as one of the eight assassins hired to kill batman by black mask. he is present at the meeting in the gotham royal hotel between electrocutioner and firefly with black mask, who quickly reveals himself to be a new criminal: the joker. after joker kills electrocutioner, bane chooses to remain behind in the hotel after the meeting in anticipation of his first confrontation with batman. with batman besting him in their first encounter, bane flees. batman incapacitates joker and leaves him for the police before tracking bane to his hideout with a tracer, finding evidence of a new strain of venom. while in his hideout, batman also discovers that bane has deduced that bruce wayne and batman are actually the same person. batman destroys this evidence, but is delayed in returning to the batcave when firefly attempts to destroy gotham pioneer's bridge. this gives bane time to invade the cave, destroy batman's equipment, and attack alfred pennyworth leaving him for dead. bane is next seen with the joker during his riot at blackgate penitentiary, facing off against batman a second time. batman is told that if he does not kill bane, the beating of his heart will power an electric chair that will kill both joker and gotham city police captain james gordon. though batman uses the electrocutioner's gloves to stop bane's heart, he quickly revives him once the heart monitor is removed. in retaliation, bane injects himself with an imperfect titan prototype, turning him into the same kind of hulking monster batman will go onto face . batman electrocutes bane again to defeat him, and the brain damage he suffers due to his abuse of the titan formula robs him of the knowledge of batman's identity. he's then apprehended by the gotham pd. bane is playable in the "batman: arkham origins" multiplayer. if a player controlling a bane elite gets to the entrance door first, the elite is replaced with bane. bane is equipped with a powerful rocket launcher, and is capable of performing devastating melee attacks, including a shock wave that knocks down enemies, and instant kills that vary based on the enemy's position (thrown across the room if standing, picked up and slammed down if prone, and slammed into a wall if near one). if bane initiates an instant kill on batman or robin, he performs his signature backbreaker.

bullet::::- the league of shadows again makes an appearance in the third and final film of nolan's batman trilogy, "the dark knight rises" (2012). the league, now under the leadership of bane (tom hardy) and a secret accomplice, returns to finish ra's al ghul's plan to destroy gotham city. its membership now includes a large number of bane's fellow mercenaries who were former employees of corrupt wayne enterprise board member john daggett (ben mendelsohn). the newly resurrected league of shadows plots to hold gotham under siege by converting a fusion reactor that was developed by wayne enterprises in a project sponsored by miranda tate (marion cotillard) into a nuclear bomb. during their first confrontation, bane defeated batman and placed him in bane's former home, a foreign penitentiary known only as "the pit". after trapping most of the members of the gcpd in the sewers, bane then proceeded to hold gotham hostage while giving the citizens false hope of survival by means of a faux revolution while stating that he has given the trigger of the bomb to a random gothamite. the next day, bane exposed the truth about harvey dent and had all of the inmates of blackgate penitentiary released by his men. while in his cell, bruce was told the story of an exiled mercenary and his wife and child that were once imprisoned there. the child was said to be the only one who successfully escaped the prison. ra's al ghul appeared to bruce in the form of a hallucination, who implied that he was "immortal" through the birth of his child within the pit, the heir to the league of shadows. bruce assumed that the mercenary's child was bane and that ra's al ghul was his father. after batman had defeated bane, miranda stabbed batman and revealed herself as talia al ghul, ra's al ghul's child, who climbed out of the pit with the aid of her childhood friend and protector bane. bane was secretly working with her while she operated under the name of miranda tate to complete her father's mission, showing batman that she was always the one who held the trigger to the nuclear bomb. talia recounted that the league trained her and bane, that ra's banished bane because he reminded him of the prior loss of his wife, and that bane's only crime was loving her. talia resented her father for this, but she was never able to forgive him until he died fighting batman. selina kyle/catwoman (anne hathaway) kills bane with the bat-pod's cannon at short range, and she and batman confront talia, eventually forcing her truck carrying the bomb off the road where she died believing that her father's work was finished. following a battle within gotham city's streets and the deaths of bane and talia, the rest of the surviving league members in the city along with gotham's criminals are either jailed, incapacitated, or killed in battle against the gcpd.
