Poison Ivy poisoned Bane and was mind controlling him, and Croc had the home field advantage again of the sewers.
😆 you're acting as if the sewers are now Crocs own Gotham City. What was he supposed to do with the "home field advantage", lure bane under a sewage let off and have some poop fall on his head?
The first time that they fought, bane knew about croc while Crocs knew absolutely nothing of bane, his fighting style, his gear, or any of his abilities. Is it impressive that bane beat him? Sure, but if spider-man (for example) were to go into a fight with wolverine while having (at least) a general level of knowledge regarding his enemy while his enemy knows nothing about him, would it be an insane victory that proves that spider-man is a badass?
The second fight literally had bane start with a cheap shot from behind (hell, let's not mince words. It was a sneak attack) while Crocs arms still hadn't healed fully and croc still gave him hell. Funny thing is that even after bane broke one of his arms again, croc seemed to have the upper hand as the were fighting in the water. Now I ask you, if I were to come out of nowhere, hit you from behind, and still get a bloody lip for my efforts (while you have two broken arms) and you seem to be actively trying to drown me when a titlewave sweeps us away, does it look like I have the upper hand?
The third fight had batbane swing in on an unsuspecting croc, use the momentum of his swing to land the first shot, and still had croc draw blood from bane while bane was wearing freaking armor. Hell, bane had to resort to using a blunt instrument to bludgeon croc with. Again, if I were to swing in through a window, use the momentum of the swing to land the first hit, and you still manage to draw blood from me with every hit that you land (while I'm wearing swat armor) and I have to resort to using a baseball bat to beat you, is that a real victory or an admission that you're to good for me to beat in a fair fight?
I don't care about the time that croc beat bane. I just want you to subjectively look at the three fights and determine whether or not the fight was stacked in bane's favor.
