10 Most Underrated Moments From The Batman: Arkham Video Games

7. Finding Bane - Arkham Asylum

Bane is one of Batman’s most interesting villains; a hulking brute made into a monstrous mass of muscle by the venom flooding his body. The one man who broke the Batman.

But despite all that, he is a genius, and one of the smartest characters the Batman faces - so much so that Bane managed to figure out Bruce's identity. The dichotomy of his great strength and great mind are ultimately what makes him so interesting.

Then comes Arkham Asylum. Having saved Gordon from the grasp of Harley Quinn, he and the Batman find a small, misty room. A small cut scene plays and Batman is visibly shocked. You see Bane suspended by wires, his body frail and weak, drained of his power and left to suffer. You almost feel sympathy for him as he hangs there defenceless.

And then Joker triggers the venom to return and Bane is brought back into his full glory and a boss fight that can be quite difficult begins. The mechanics to the brute characters are still new and fighting Bane can be quite the challenge. While everyone talks about Joker and Scarecrow, no one ever mentions how well Bane was introduced and the fight you have with him.

They may re-use the fight later on with re-skinned enemies, but the first time with Bane? Impeccable.
