Actually, we can, because their origin can simply be explained to some extent in the movie. But it's sad that when people think Batman villains they only think of the Joker. This proves that writers need to start using other villain's a lot more than they currently do.

Yeah, totally. A nine foot tall, towering behemoth of muscle mass thanks to the product of venom coursing through his body is totally realistic compared to a man born with physical deformities (penguin) or a circus freak with a rare skin disease (croc) let alone a mean who could easily cheat death and employs a league of ninjas (ghul). No, Bane takes it, right?
He doesn't have to be 9 ft or any of that. I can see a super serum working because scientists are actually working on that kind of thing. Bane is definitely realistic enough for Nolan's movies.

Nah, if you want realism, look at the Penguin (a deformed politician), the Riddler (Just a very smart man) even Harley or Catwoman (basically really athletic women).
If realism means stripping him of whatever makes him Bane, then for sure. They'd have to explain the concept of a super-serum, I don't know how they're coing to incorperate venom into the whole thing like they do in the comic, and if that's the case, why can't it work for any other villain.
Mr. Freeze, a science experiment went wrong and left his entire body vulnerable to heat, thus he incorperates a suit to maintain his body temperature. See, how's that far off?
Mr. Freeze isn't far off at all because there are people like that in real life. Bane can be done as well because they are actually working on a super serum that, when injected into a certain part of the body, causes it to grow more when one is training and repair itself quicker. Bane is very possible.

Is this serum composed of, or originate from venom? I doubt that. We're not gonna get a Bane onscreen that isn't a venom-junkie, that would be out of character. One thing is a prop like the Scarecrow's scythe but another thing is what makes that character unique.
Why does it have to be venom? They're going for realism, and venom isn't really important. Have it be scientific, have him be virtually addicted to it, and there you go.

Yes, but that would be stupid and a huge cop out. It would upset many who are indeed fans of Bane. It's like integrating electronic lights on swords that amplify it's power and dubbing the project 'lightsabers'. It's not needed and seems like they're just splitting hairs for that extra bit off realism.
Dude, seriously. The only component that makes Bane who he is has been branded ridiculous by you? Is integrating Poison Ivy's love of nature a ridiculous argument for you as well if she is somehow added to the next film's roster?
Ivy is a horrible villane so I could care less what changes they make to her in any incarnation but I know she better not ever be in Nolan's world. Bane on the other hand, as I said, can be done if they simply codename whatever they use venom. Simple as that.

Totally, just like Joker fans didn't go into a frenzy when they found out Ledger's Joker was gonna wear face paint, when everyone knows his entire skin is white. It's the little things that matter man, just because they are unimportant to you, doesn't mean hardcore fans of a said character won't mind.
