10 Worst Things Bane Has Ever Done

7. Breaking The Bat

The classic tale of Bane doing terrible things, Batman: Knightfall is perhaps the perfect way to introduce Bane to anyone not familiar with the big scary luchador - as it contains him breaking bones, doing evil, and being an all-around loveably awful dude.

The spine breaking is perhaps the worst of this though, as prior to this moment we hadn't really seen anyone defeat the Dark Knight properly before. With this in mind, seeing the human tank destroy the hero marked him as both decidedly evil and incredibly interesting, as we got to see just how potent a threat he was to the Dark Knight from the start.

Even years from now, this moment still marks something of a cultural zenith for both Batman and Bane, as it's difficult to think of the fearsome criminal wrestler without thinking of him in his most iconic moment of carnage.
