Thor vs Bane

Thor would rock the hell out of Bane. He tore through a base full of skilled (and armed if I remember correctly) SHIELD agents.

Not to mention him dodging and weaving Hulks attacks and countering with his own was his own skill.

Bane took out a few body guards and a crippled and old Batman well past his prime, whom he also went on to lose to after Bats punched him in the face a few times and broke his mask. That's not something Thor would struggle much to do, not that he'd need it.

This fight goes pretty handily to Thor.

Camera tricks and choreography really don't matter here. I see where you're going with this, but if Batman were faced with the same odds in, Nolans movies...,He would have made everyone look like swiis cheese as well. Using the Hulk fight as reference here is useless because, Thor was ALL powerful, sure he was holding back, but he still had access to the full range of his abilities

This is a picture of Hardy from the set of TDKR. It's only his back, but you can get an idea of what his actual physique looks like without the movie magic:

Christian Bale was buffer than Thor though.

When he originally bulked up to play Batman, he weighed 220 pounds.

He was then told to slim down because he was too buff to play Batman.

How the hell is Thor gonna lose. Thor picks up his hammer and Bane craps his pants

This is mortal Thor. He can't wield Mjolnir.

Just realized depowered thor. My bad. Bane wins because he is stronger and faster. Thor had trouble with a couple of shield agents

You all are crazy. Bane would destroy Thor under these circumstances. WTF man.

And when Bale first came to the set of Batman Begins, he was nicknamed "fatman" because he was, well, kinda fat. That's why he was asked to tone down and go for a more cut look.

On the other hand when Hemsworth first came to the Thor set, he was so bulky that he couldn't fit into his suit, which is why he cut down weight as well. But at least he was never considered "fat".

Thor isn't wearing full body armour though.

Yeah but neither is he a limping, oldish man who's been out of fighting for a couple of years.

Thor will have a hard time with Bane, but in the end if Batman can beat Bane, I don't see any reason why Thor can't do the same.

Bane only lost because of Batman rupturing the mask. This put him in intense pain and made him fight like a desperate madman. Thor won't be breaking that mask.

People need to remember the "limpish" old man got a prosthetic that made him kick concrete just fine.

Yup, and that mask is quite a big weakness for Bane here. Why exactly do you think Batman can break that mask but Thor can't?

Putting a robotic knee brace doesn't fix his medical problems, which I believe the doctor said was for majority of his body. A load of improperly healed fractures and something about joint problems? I don't remember the specifics but I know it wasn't just his knee that was the problem. Plus when Batman did beat Bane he wasn't using that robotic knee brace anymore.

Batman broke the mask with his arm "blades" something that Thor doesn't have.

No, but Thor has something better. Power.

At the end this could go either way, I'm undecided

Bane has demonstrably more power than Thor though. He could pick the near two hundred pound (not counting gear) Batman with one hand and walk with him. He could also put a dent in a pillar. Thor has no feats on that level.

This is discounting the fact that no, brute strength is not even remotely comparable to Batman's bladed armguards, because they gave him an unbreakable leverage on Bane's mask that Thor can not replicate.

Bane is going to dominate Thor. To be blunt I doubt this fight will even be particularly hard for him.

Nor has Thor kicked through a brick wall like Batman did once he received his bionic aid.

Depowered Thor may not have very many feats, but his reputation alone deserves some merit in this fight. Thor MUST be skilled, not including his powers, considering he has been Asgard's most fierce warrior for centuries.

I do think Bane could probably win this one, but it won't be a cake walk.

Bane 6/10

It wasn't really that clear. Batman broke the first valve of the mask with a backfist, that could have been the blades or it could have been just the hand. But that was only the first "breaking".

The other times he broke more of those valves in the mask he just punched it.
