Good season, but Bane....

[Uranius Johnson]

He shows up spontaneously so. many. times, and always in the most unexpected context. And every single time, he gets absolutely wrecked by Batman or someone else. I think this happens four times at least?

I thought for sure the tables would turn when he upgraded his venom in ep5, but nope....he still gets his ass kicked.

He was dangerously close to “Batman & Robin” Bane at times.

[SoleAccord]

In Episode Five he nearly succeeded killing Batman with the upgraded venom, but (at least in the Vigilante Joker episode, rather than Villain) John was there to save him after Bane tanked Batman's punches with ease. He was enduring every punture of their weapons and blunt force they dealt, until he got crushed by the smokestack (or hit by a car, but I never chose that.) and had to limp away in defeat.

Now, if seeing him again on the rooftop and being dealt with by a simple anchor is what you're getting at, then yeah I can see the disappointment. The problem is that Bane alone can deal with Batman and John, so taking him out of the fight, especially since he already had his big moment in the opening minutes, allowed for Harley and Selina to get some licks and dialogue in.

Wasn't disappointed with him at all. He was a consistent threat and could easily kill Bruce/Batman on his own. The only thing I'm really sad about is switching his venom out with the sabotaged one meant nothing, but hey, that's Telltale.
