Clearly you are well versed on Bane's backstory/introduction story and are an excellent person to listen to on the subject.
Bane is no different than any other comic character, he changes depending on who writes him. He has been the supergenius venom freak who broke the Bat, the comic relief with a weird accent like in Secret Six, hired muscle on roids...you name it. He is Batman's version of Doomsday he shows up and gets his great storyline where he sits atop of the mountain after destroying the hero then inevitably loses and becomes another jobber later on. (though him not nearly as bad as Doomsday)
I think it's more that other's don't like Nolan's 'look how clever we are' twist to the bad guys as much as he did. Whether or not you enjoyed the movie overall is irrelevant.
She's welcome to bend herself over an oversized motorcycle again anytime.
Says you...as usual the vast majority of the people out there do not agree with you. You are in league with Foxton though so you got that going for you...which is nice.
I never said it was a teamup btw I said whoever told you that in comics there is never a 1 and 1a villain is either an idiot or lying to themselves so they have something more to whine about seeing as it happens in the comics all the time
Bane isnt supposed to be Dr. Doom and doesnt have the history of any of those characters you named...now you are just being obtuse. Every Batman villain has played "second fiddle" at some point even your precious Joker. (although he more often falls under the "plot device" ideal which is even more pathetic) Hell I bet if you wanted to you could even find stories where Dr. Doom was second fiddle, I just don't care enough to want to find them. Do you have any clue how often the "bait and switch" method is used in the comics where they tease one villain for 90% of a storyarch, usually a villain strong enough to hold the story themselves, then at the last second show someone was pulling their strings or putting the whole plan in motion all along? It is almost as cliche as supervillain monologues
But hey, I learned long ago you never let yourself enjoy anything. (and you have horrible taste in movies see: Jennifer's Body) Hell you are probably looking for reasons right now why Nick Bjugstad coming back next year is actually a detriment to the Gophers not helpful
Nolan Bane /= Chuck Dixon Bane
Two different characters with two completely different motivations. But if you are trying to say I didnt read Knightfall and the subsequent followups and further comics with Bane in them (including his latest exploits) you can feel free to think that...you would be wrong but you have to be used to that by now
If this movie had been a comic I would have been upset at how Bane went out for many reasons. Hell if this was a movie based on any semblence of the DC universe I might feel the same way but it isnt. This is a world where Batman makes mistakes. (something DC almost never allows) This is a world where Batman actually gets a happy ending. (something they would never in a million years allow) This is an interpretation of Batman where I think it makes sense how things went down. You (and others...mostly hardcore comic message board people who complain about everything) disagree which is fine I am not here to change your minds. All I was saying to Scooby was this assertion he was given by his fellow moviegoer (which he now amazingly has adopted as his own) that there is never a 1a villain is just flat out wrong. It happens all the time.
Scooby,
I didnt miss it, I was just taking a pot shot at you because its fun and you have had very little to whine about this offseason for hockey. I should have added more emoticons my bad
(I was gonna pm you to make sure you got I was joking but I got uber lazy)
