ok in a straight up, no prep time fight i would have to go with buffy, she's fought guys way more dangerous than bane and often uses her strength and preternatural skills to lethal effectcan anyone give me an accurate description of bane's strength level?
Strong enough to dent titanium with his punches.
When fighting Batman in a face to face fight, he still 'won' (To the beast of my memory, it's been a while, but I remember him kicking the shit out of him and some plot device saving his ass)
Tough enough to hurt Azrael (Who laughed off two of Batman's best shots) and tough enough to take shots from Azrael (Somewhere in the 1 ton range of strength, possibly 2, but that's being generous)
He's very dangerous.

No.
xmarksthespot: Thank you. That's very helpful.
"Buffy has various abilities which are well beyond Human norms. Prominent amongst these is her great physical strength. Depictions of her strength have been rather inconsistent throughout the history of the show. At the high end, Buffy has been shown able to lift a metal portcullis which many teenagers were unable to budge, bent a steel rifle barrel with little effort and bent prison bars to assist in a jail break. On one occasion she was able to pick up two Harbingers - servants of an evil force who are equal in size to Human males - and throw them across a room in opposite directions. Faith, a Slayer with abilities similar to Buffy's, was able to punch through concrete with her bare hand, pick up the Vampire Angel with one hand and easily throw him across a room as well as lift him over her head into the ceiling, and pick up a 200 lb. barbell with one hand and use it as a weapon. As a result of such incidents high end estimates of Buffy's strength imply that she could lift up to ten tons, making her some one hundred times stronger than would be expected for her size.
However, on other occasions Buffy has struggled to carry a single Human. Additionally, many episodes have depicted ordinary Humans as being able to at least hold their own with Vampires, implying that Vampires have no more than two or three times the strength of a Human at most. Whilst Buffy is generally stronger than the average Vampire, she does not show the level of physical dominance that would be consistent with high end estimates of her strength."
See, this is one of the reasons I dislike this show. Any series should stay true to its internal logic; how else can you suspend disbelief? How can you expect to understand and enjoy the show when this logic is constantly broken by cheating writers who are too lazy to follow their own rules?
"Buffy's apparent physical weakness in selected situations underscores her more human qualities, symbolizing her struggle with the aspects of her life that she shares with normal young women. For example in the episode in which Buffy starts college, she is beaten up by a female vampire. This reinforces to the audience her feelings of being a lonely young girl on a big, unfriendly college campus, after having been the hero in high school."
That is just ridiculous. There are plenty of better ways to show a character as human and vulnerable.

Because they think we're so stupid we couldn't figure it out otherwise.
Was it actually helpful or is that sarcasm? 😕
Oh well I'll take the complement either way.
I don't know where her strength level would be, just don't think that Bane outclasses her strengthwise by that much... if at all. Of course there are a lot of other factors to consider besides strength.
Btw most writers tend to think audiences are stupid - Wolverine must be on the cover of every book otherwise audiences might forget that he's in the title and won't buy it.
