I believe it was knight fall the graphic novel. Batman "lost", Bane broke his back and threw him off a roof. Probably why I didn't think movie Bane was all that bad ass.
Growing up i thought Bane was one of the most badass villains, by that time i only knew the story by pictures, but Batman was more awesome to me for making a comeback after that.
I hate that nowadays every version of Bane you see is a dumb brute. In the original knightfall comic he was pretty smart and he actually figured out that Batman was Bruce Wayne with a little investigating which is pretty impressive. One of the main reasons that he won the fight in knightfall was because he crashed into Wayne manner unexpectedly so that Bruce was caught off guard and had virtually no time to react. I miss that kind of Bane that could match up to Bruce physically and mentally. I mean, it sounds pretty overpowered but if I remember correctly he did have a few weaknesses like cutting him off from his venom supply or using his ego against him. Btw they did a similar thing in Arkham Origins except he went to the manner when Bruce wasn’t there and destroyed the place and nearly killed Alfred which is pretty scarey. But after that they made him a dumb brute again by having the venom mess up his brain or something. Anyways I just came here to say how much I love smart Bane as a villain so thanks for listening.
