Yes! The “oh shit” moment with Bane in the comics is that the big scary thug is also the actual mastermind. There’s no secret weakness, or real mastermind to undermine him. He’s just actually scary smart, and ruthless and evil in ways the average Arkham inmate isn’t imaginative enough to be.
The movie did better than grunting thug Bane, but really didn’t give us ruthless mastermind Bane.
Dark Knight Rises shared a lot of story elements with, at least, the novel.
Yeah I was disappointed in how they did that one with Bane just being a finger puppet.

Exactly! He has been so shafted in the movies. One of my favorite things about Bane was how damn smart he was.
