Description
2007 Batman Variation
2007 Bane is made out of three LEGO pieces, a head, a torso, and legs. Bane's head is a Black with Silver printing and large Red eyes to represent his luchador mask. Bane also has printing on the back of his head, there are Green tubes which lead down his back and into his head, there is more Silver printing to represent a zipper and an object which the tubes come out of. Bane's torso is also double sided. It is Light Nougat, but, with Black hands. The front side depicts most of Bane's torso as unexposed, but with Dark Blue suspenders coming up from the sides and silver belt goes round the bottom. The back side of the torso is mostly covered up by the backside of Bane's suspenders, but there is also a continuation of his belt and a silver backpack which emits the green tubes up onto his head. Bane's legs are Dark Blue and left unprinted.
2012 Super Heroes Variation
In 2012, he has a new redesigned mask, and new, more muscular torso printing which includes, like his earlier design, suspenders. His legs are black and unprinted. However, he does not have black gloves, for he uses his bare hands. He has back printing on both his head and back depicting his Venom tank, suspenders, and a single green tube running from his tank to the top of his head.

In the Video games
In LEGO Batman
In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Bane is identical to his appearance in 7787 The Bat-Tank: The Riddler and Bane's Hideout. Bane is able to use super strength and has an imunity to toxins.
In LEGO Batman 2
In LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, Bane reappears with his appearance from 6860 The Batcave, except the red oval from his belt buckle is absent. He is still immune to toxins and has super-strength.
Background
Comics
Born and raised in a brutal prison environment, Bane's already-impressive physical condition was enhanced by the experimental Venom drug; however, it was also extremely addictive, and he must have a constant supply or risk serious side effects. The Venom, particularly in overdose, granted him incredible strength, healing and resistance to damage, to the point of rendering him bulletproof. Targeting the pipes he wore to administer the drug was therefore the surest way to defeat him.
When he arrived in Gotham City, Bane discovered Batman's identity as Bruce Wayne and broke his back. Azrael took over in the Bat-suit and defeated Bane.
In The Dark Knight Rises
Bane spent most of his life in a prison known as The Pit. He took on the role of protector of a young Talia Al Ghul and was attacked by the other prisoners when he helped her to escape. Talia found her father, Ra's Al Ghul, and convinced him to attack The Pit and free Bane. Bane was then recruited into the League of Shadows, but was excommunicated because he reminded Ra's of what had happened to his wife and daughter after he left. Talia never forgave her father for his treatment of Bane.
After Batman killed Ra's, Talia took over the League and re-recruited Bane to fulfill her late father's goal of destroying Gotham. Bane defeated and nearly killed Batman, but instead took him to The Pit to watch Gotham's destruction. With Batman gone, Bane cut off Gotham from the rest of the country, liberated the Blackgate prisoners, and threatened the citizens with a nuclear bomb, leaving the city in a state of anarchy. He and Talia were defeated by a returned Batman, Selina Kyle, Commissioner Gordon, Lucius Fox, and Detective R. John Blake.
In LEGO Batman: The Videogame
Bane and The Penguin
Bane was a part of The Penguin's team, which also consisted of Man-Bat, Killer Croc, and Catwoman. The team planned to unleash an army of Penguin Minions on Gotham City.
Penguin and Bane went to the city docks to retrieve a satelite dish being delivered. Once the satelite was fastened onto Penguin's submarine, Commissioner Gordon and the Police arrived. Penguin abandoned Bane to bring himself and the satelite to safety. This put Bane into fit of rage. He threw a police car into the air, which landed on him, knocking Bane out. He was sent back to Arkham Asylum.
In LEGO Batman 2
Bane appears in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes with his appearance from 6860 The Batcave. When Lex Luthor and The Joker team up, Bane is one of the villains freed by using the Deconstructor, the others being The Penguin, Two-Face, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, and The Riddler. Bane attempts to escape the Asylum on his Mole machine with Ivy and Penguin when Batman and Robin arrive. They are defeated, but escape shortly after with even more inmates.
Bane himself escaped to the Gotham Beach, and can be bought for 125,000 studs after he is defeated.
Notes
- In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Bane's signature move is to crack the enemy's back over his knee, a nod to the manner in which he defeated Batman.
