DC UNIVERSE CLASSIC WAVE 16 BANE

After collecting DC universe classic wave 16 you’ll have this awesome figure the classic Bane. Bane debuted on Batman: Vengeance of Bane way back 1993. He became popular in the Knightfall series because not only is Bane physically powerful but he is also a master strategist and poses a high level of intellect. He orchestrated the break out in the Arkham asylum and forced Batman to fight the inmates in order to weaken him. In the end Bane was very successful and broke the spine of Bruce Wayne. Thus defeating the great detective Batman.

Bane’s character first appeared on the 1997 movie Batman and Robin. Wrestler Robert Swenson portrayed him. This year 2012, director Christoper Nolan’s third Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises” will star Bane as the main villain. Actor Tom Hardy will take on the character of Bane. Now that’s a must watch movie.

Bane certainly is one of Batman’s arch enemy rivaling the prince of crime Joker. And so this DCUC collect and connect figure of Bane in his classic costume is a must have for me. The figure has good articulation and the detail is also good. Without further delay here is the crown jewel of wave 16, Bane.
