10 Brilliant Movie Villains Defeated In The DUMBEST Way Possible
7. Bane - The Dark Knight Rises
Sometimes a death is so stupid, it's impossible to forget. Sadly, Bane is not one of those examples. His demise in The Dark Knight Rises is forgettable.
That's not an exaggeration. Many people who have seen the movie have forgotten how Bane dies! In the final shown, the musclebound terrorist prepares to shoot Batman in the face with a shotgun. While he is in mid-monologue, Catwoman rides in on the Batpod and blasts him to death with the vehicle's gun.
What makes Bane's exit from the movie so anti-climatic is we, as an audience, weren't even sure if the blast killed him. You half-expect him to return minutes later with grievous injuries to have one last battle with Gotham's protector. But after he is shot, he is not seen or mentioned for the rest of the film.
Of all the creative ways this iconic supervillain could've been killed off, the best thing Christopher Nolan could come up with is "he got shot". The fact that this act wasn't even carried out by the lead character in the final entry in The Dark Knight makes Bane's death all the more frustrating.
