DC Comics’ massively successful Absolute continuity is about to introduce a downright disturbing new take on Batman villain Bane, one who is seemingly able to inflate his muscle mass at will, including inflating to hyperbolically over-the-top proportions. Known as “the man who broke the Bat” in DC’s mainstream canon, Absolute Bane seems well conditioned to carry on that legacy as an all-time great antagonist for the Caped Crusader.
