10 Characters Who Have Defeated Bane
3. Catwoman
During the events of the DC Rebirth story line Bane takes to supplying Hugo Strange with Venom in exchange for the services of super villain Psycho Pirate to help him overcome his own Venom addiction. Batman takes a motley crew of super heroes and villains into Bane's territory, including Catwoman, in order to thwart the drug-addled villain's plans.
Bane manages to capture Batman early on and defeats him and Catwoman betrays the group, killing a few of its other members to ingratiate herself to Bane. There is a final confrontation between Bane and a healed Batman - Bane had broken his back again, but this time the Bat fixed it himself while locked away in a prison cell, because that idea isn't done to death in Bane story lines. In this fight Bane gets the advantage on Batman again and spouts off rhetoric about wanting to help Batman overcome his own monsters with Psycho Pirate's help.
It is at that point that, upon Batman's signal, Catwoman betrays Bane - proving she had been a double agent the whole time. The teammates she supposedly killed are revealed to be perfectly fine and she leaps into action, kicking Bane from behind with a powerful flying kick. In this action she breaks Bane's back and the crew kidnaps Psycho Pirate, leaving the recovered Bane wounded and alone. When his soldiers force their way into the room and find him, the first thing he does is demand Venom, renewing his addiction.
