Yes, that show.He raped Bane in it, that's why I'm asking.
They rarely get Bane right on tv shows and movies. He is far from an unskilled and unthinking brick like they often make him out to be.
This is more like the way he should consistently be depicted.
Yeah at that point in the show Bane was just used to show how powerful a new character was.

Non venom Bane workouts with over a 1000 lbs for a standing press while playing chess. (Each plate weighs a 100 lbs, I believe.)

Poor King Faraday, Bane believes he is Batman in disguise. Faraday has a very bad day and is left broken.

Joker has beaten Ra's in chess:

Pretty interesting that in the same comic in which Joker beat Ras in chess, Bane's victory over him in chess is also reference.
The thing with Bane is- that was the first time he had even seen a chess board. He studied books on the game but of course in the Santa Prisca dungeon, no one is playing chess.
Also in Batman: Son of the Demon (which is somewhat canon b/c it introduces Damien and Morrison would later refer to it), Ra's and Bruce stalemate in chess.
Funny stuff, two of Batman main villains does better against Ra's in chess then he does.
Which got me thinking adding Batman to your scenario Stilt. Who would win the most in a round robin chess tourney between Bane, Joker, and Batman? Would be a good VS. thread.

seems like now I remember Joker beating Lex in chess too. I think some writers like to play up his insanity and unpredictable nature. Also Hawkgirl beat Bruce in chess IIRC.
