Why do so many writers forget that Bane is Batman's Moriarty?

because it's easier to have the Brute.

Tom King trying to fix it tho

>>90337247
Same reason Batman is portrayed as a "Punisher that doesn't kill" as opposed to Sherlock Holmes. Muh-scles.

>>90337247
What make him that?

Because he isn't. Hugo Strange is Batman's Moriarty.

Bane is truly extraordinary. While Batman was tutored under the greatest trainers the world had to offer, Bane is one hundred percent self-trained and manages to stand toe to toe with the Bat. He is Batman's greatest, and most challenging adversary.

Isn't he always at least a little venom'd up when he does that though

>>90337432
>>90337247
Joker is Batman's Moriarty. You're fucking deluded if you believe otherwise.

Bane doesn't deserve how he's often portrayed though, Dark Knight Rises and Arkham Origins have really helped the common perception of him recently.

>>90337809
No he's not. Joker wasn't even prominent until he killed Jason. Only casuals feel that way cause he was pushed so hard in recent years. Joker works better as a background character.

Go away, Chuck Dixon

>>90337809
No, Hugo Strange is literally Batman's Moriarty. That's what he was created to be. A criminal professor to act as a foil to the world's greatest detective.

>>90337247
Tom King has been sucking Bane's dick by half-year by now. I think he remembers it.

>>90337433
But he uses venom?

>>90337247
Because for some reason writers love to either forget his character, or don't read anything and act like Venom is his entire thing (looking at you Dini).

>>90337306
King did SOME good, but his writing is so weak it just makes Bane seem like a crazy mommas boy instead of a militaristic supercriminal.

>>90337838
Which is still years before Bane was even created. He was still pretty big and popular during the 70s and he was big in the 60s show.

>>90337807
His rematch with Batman he didn't have any Venom. By that point he basically forced himself to kick the habit, then trained himself to be as strong without it.

Bane is based af.

>>90337860
I'm not going away, matter of fact I'm coming back :) so bite me!

No one knows how to write an overpowered character unless the character is the protag.

>>90337980
But Joker isn't a foil for Batman in any way shape or form. I don't even know where that meme came from. Those are the same people that think Joker is insane. Joker does what he does for fun but he always has a plan and rhyme to what he is doing. He hides behind insanity.

>>90337306
Tom King is fixing it by putting the world to sleep, so they can dream of a better Bane-centric storyline.

The thing is Joker completes Batman

Joker feels alive when he is opposing Batman, he doesn't wanna kill Batman, he wanna break him, he completes him, just like Batman will never kill Joker

Batman is the definition of pure discipline in life, while Joker is the other side of the coin, pure anarchy and hedonism

Bane is to Batman, more like a reminder of his dark past ( they both had similar training ) and the fact he has no powers also gives him the rivality

Just my 2 cents, no the same guy you've replying to

>>90338321
That's not true at all though. Joker would try to kill Batman the moment he stops being entertaining to him. To Batman Joker is nothing but another psycho to put away.

>>90338351
Shut the fuck up shitter. You don't know shit.

>>90338321

Like most of every hero's rogues gallery, every villain is a reflection of Batman in some way. The Joker is just the chaos to Batman's order, along with Moore's addition of the 'one bad day' thing.

Bane is Batman's equal and opposite. He's a demonstration that it's fully possible to become what Batman is, without any of the money and just the mind boggling self determination.

>>90338374
Kek sorry to ruin your homolust

>>90338351
Well, I'm not gonna lie, most I know is from games/movies and a lil bit of the new 52, so I may be wrong

But thats the vibe I got from BatmanxJoker, specially after playing Arkhan Origins

Bane is a Batman without morals like this post >>90338405 said

They are both the iconic villains, I feel like Joker completes Batman in a way like L and Light from Death Note, and Bane is the ultimate opponent skill-wise to Batman, a different kind of rivalry, they don't need each other to exist, but they still have a interesting dinamic

Anyways, I may be wrong tho

>>90337868
And how's it working out? Turret skyscrapers. Yeah.

>>90338321
are giga roids not superpowers

>>90337915
At the pace King is writing, half a year of dick sucking doesn't amount to much more than a couple of licks to the tip.

>>90337247
Because that's why they created Ra's al Ghul; Bane was Batman's Doomsday.

Because he's a big guy

>>90338978
This.

>>90337247
Because nobody cared who he was till he put on the mask.

>someone seriously wrote this on /co/

He's only been Batman's most iconic nemesis like, forever. Children don't sing "The Batmobile lost its wheels and Bane crashed the plane with no survivors"

>>90337807
And Batman is covered in millions of dollars of technology, what's your point?

>>90339136

For you.
