    Joker: I’ve tried everything! Mobs of gun-toting clowns. Mind altering gas. Inciting riots. Political engineering. An elaborate plan to make everyone look like me. Sharks.

    Bane: Sharks?

    Joker: Yes, sharks. Did I stutter? Honey, do I have something distracting stuck in my teeth?

    Harley: No, sweetie. Just that winning smile of yours. ::mwah:: ^_^

    Bane: (That’s it. I’m just gonna level the whole city and be done with this place)

      Bane was wasted potential. Once people figured out if you pull the tubes out he is incapable of even walking. The first time he takes over his physical abilities are just a supplement to his natural charisma. After he loses he somehow loses the ability to lead men and the only thing left is he is a big guy.

      The writers could have easily made him a long term effective foe like Penguin.
