10 Worst Things Bane Has Ever Done

With Bane being best remembered for breaking Batman's spine in Knightfall, you'd perhaps be surprised to discover that the ne'er-do-well has actually been responsible for far worse things in the span of his villainous past.

Since Knightfall was Bane's introduction into the DC universe, there was only one place to go with any of his future appearances, and that place was downhill - into yet worse evil deeds.

With a childhood that involved indiscriminate murder, you shouldn't really be surprised that Bane is capable of elaborate and evil plans - or straight up brutal murders - but somehow it still manages to prove shocking each and every time. Literally every major storyline involving Bane features him doing at least one terrible thing ,and his minor features can sometimes be even worse, such as his sneaky murder of Judomaster during the Infinite Crisis series.

Even when he's not being as evil as usual - such as his feature in the Secret Six, or any of the occasions where he's worked with the Batman - only serve to emphasise how terrible he can be the rest of the time, which makes it feel all the worse when he does finally turn against his own allies.

Remember holding out hope Batman and Catwoman would actually get married? All the dreams and fan speculation that got crushed to the ground? Well, you can officially blame Bane for that one.

Because the cancellation of said wedding is revealed to be one of Bane's most convoluted plans to date, involving him paying off one of Catwoman's oldest friends in order to get her to convince the anti-hero that marrying her dark brooding beau would make stop being Batman, knowing that this would cause her to call off the marriage.

It's convoluted, but more than that, it's also needlessly personal. Unless this is Bane's way for expressing his upset that Talia Al Ghul would always pick the Bat over him, it's unclear why he picked such a weirdly petty way to get at his enemy.
