10 DC Comics Villains Who NEED To Face Robert Pattinson's Batman (And Who Should Play Them)

10. Dave Bautista As Bane

Before you say anything, yes, Dave Bautista has been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Portraying the adored Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy, Bautista has already made a solid impact in the world of comic book movies.

But let's be honest, Drax is the comedy relief in an ensemble cast and whilst he absolutely nails the role, you would be hard pressed to call him a major character within the universe. Considering the little amount he was given in Infinity War and Endgame, it's safe to say Bautista hasn't had a major role in a comic book movie.

He would make a fantastic Bane, however.

As one of Batman's biggest antagonists, Bane has had a rather divisive transition to the big screen. In The Dark Knight Rises, Tom Hardy brought a respectable amount of menace to the role, despite being hampered by a voice modifier and being neutered in the third act. The less said about the previous portrayal the better.

Bautista physically fits the mould of Bane, his size and physique would see him loom over Pattinson and really exageratte the physical threat he holds. Having proved his acting chops in roles such as his one in Blade Runner 2049, Bautista has proven he can also bring a calmness and intelligence to the role, which Bane certainly has.
