The film was unfavorably compared to its widely-beloved predecessor, as many felt like it was a disappointment. Some criticized perceived plot holes in the The Dark Knight Rises ' story , while others considered it boring and overlong.
Batman's return to Gotham and the film's ending are but two examples that people find a lot of issues with, although they extend to Bane himself as well.
There was also a subsection of comic book fans who felt as if Bane and by extension, Nolan's Batman franchise lost the core essence of the character by removing some of his more fantastical elements.
The character was even nicknamed B. O in comic book circles, meaning Bane In Name Only. Fans were upset that a character most notable for his debilitating dependence on the super-strength inducing drug Venom had been transformed into a militaristic revolutionary with a crippling painkiller addiction. Regardless of the vices comic book fans had with the depiction of the character, Nolan's Bane is still a pop culture icon in the eyes of many.
The filmmaker chose to use the villain because of his stark contrast to Ledger's Joker, a self-titled "agent of chaos," as opposed to what Nolan saw in Bane, which was a "classic movie monster, one with a terrific brain. Bane in The Dark Knight Rises also manages to honor the character's physical challenge to the Batman as well. Tom Hardy portrayed the character as a physically imposing force of nature, in tandem with the screenplay's partial adaptation of the Knightfall storyline.
Hardy reportedly gained 30 pounds for the role , in order to truly sell the character's intimidating figure. The villain's voice was another reason why Bane became so memorable after the film's release. View source. History Talk Do you like this video? Play Sound. Now's not the time for fear.

The Joker encapsulates one element most villains outside the Silver Age do not; he balances comic relief with being a serious threat wonderfully. Though this is inherent to the character, it also presents an opportunity for hilariously psychotic one liners amidst unfathomably horrifying situations. Further, it proves how the Joker's personality is distinctively unique to him.
Though he may have been the source material for other iterations of demented clowns such as Spawn 's Violator or The Flash 's Jokester , his personality is its own flavor of villainy.
One worthwhile facet of Bane's character is that in many iterations, he battles Batman's morality as much as he does physically. This is demonstrated through Arkham: Origins, where he was facing off against the Dark Knight for a final time after he surmised Alfred had died. He told him, "a more compassionate man would be mourning the loss of his friend.
As entertaining of a villain as the Joker might be, he only works as a foil to Batman's morality, attempting to break it through surmounting depravity rather than to question its existence to begin with.
This renders Bane a more thoughtful and compelling antagonist, as he stands for more than merely his actions. The Joker's past is more sympathetic than Bane's because it is one which resonates with many people.
Through the unreliable narration of the Joker's memories, we glean his struggle to support his wife and baby in The Killing Joke, one which ultimately culminates in their deaths, as well as his criminal record and disfigurement.
Given these overwhelming circumstances, it's understandable as to why he snapped, and many can relate to the breaking point that he tipped beyond. The Joker's life is a testament to what happens when one gives up completely. Most Batman villains are doomed when they run out of schemes and henchmen to throw in the way of the Dark Knight. From the Mad Hatter to Black Mask, few pose a serious threat against the Caped Crusader when finally confronted in a fair fight.
Bane does not share this weakness. Possessing brawn surpassing Killer Croc and intelligence rivaling the rest of Batman's rogues, when the Dark Knight finally faces off against his muscular opponent, the danger is just beginning.
