The man who broke the bat

Ethan Perushek, Graphic Design Editor — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:30:03 +0000

The Villian––The Right Way Bane, contrary to the abomination that was the 1997 film “Batman and Robin,” displays the ideal image of the extremely intelligent villain. Bane was first introduced into the Batman world when the comic book “Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1” was published in 1993. Bane was created to be the only villain [...]

After being fired from the lingerie [...]
