As Harley managed to dispatch Scarecrow with Poison Ivy's assistance, the Joker had the Legion of Doom surround Ivy and Harley. However, berates Bane for fighting Kite Man rather than focusing on Harley and Ivy, telling him to do what he tells and calling him a dumb, freakish monster. This prompted Harley to ask a hurt Bane why he let Joker talk to him like that.

Bane presenting some of his magic tricks
Bane applauded as Harley was welcomed into the Legion of Doom, even wearing a bowtie and top hat for the occasion and planning to perform some magic tricks, although Lex Luthor told him there was no time left for it. He later approached Harley and asked her to pick a card, although he could not tell her which one it was.
After Harley's crew mates, Clayface, Doctor Psycho and King Shark were taken to the basement with the goons, Bane signed them out for a mission. He wanted to blow up a guy named Todd who worked at a smoothie shop and always referred to him as "Bang". Before the mission, he attended the Legion of Doom's weekly meeting. He voted to approve the Joker's idea of building a tower with his face on along with everyone else in the room until Harley questioned his plans. Afterward, he told Harley it was refreshing that someone finally stood up to Joker, although when Joker himself turned up, he quickly changed his tune, annoying Joker, who loosened his tubes, making him retreat.
Bane on a mission with Harley's crew
Despite their efforts to get out of it, Bane was able to take the crew members with him on his mission. He had King Shark plant a bomb in the shop while the rest waited outside in his car. Getting frustrated with waiting, Bane pushed the detonator before King Shark could leave the shop, causing the place to explode and King Shark to lose his fin in the process. A wounded King Shark revealed to Bane that Todd didn't work on Wednesdays, so all this was in vain.

Bane observing Harley who is "insta-stalking" her former crew
Bane sees Harley, who is "insta-stalking" her former crew, and informs her that he goes to Black Manta's beach lair on weekends, where he will smoke a pork shoulder. Also, he informs her that she wasn't invited there, suggesting she check if she had received the invitation in spam. Later, after seeing the statement from the Legion corporate card given to Joshua Cobblepot and realizing he had put a down payment on a bounty to kill Harley Quinn, Bane confronts him. He initially denied it, but he admitted to it after Bane called him a lying liar. Bane explained that the credit card was only supposed to be used for emergencies. Still, aside from his hit on Harley, he had also been using it to buy candies, vape pens, and a "dolphin encounter", leaving him no choice but to cut the card, although he struggles with the scissors and ends up bending it. Joshua apologizes, and Bane gives him a pep-talk, noting he was acting out of immaturity before he trips on a chair and angrily throws it out of the window.

Bane struggling with the coffee machine
Bane was away for the destruction of Gotham City, dog-sitting for his "Aunt Linda's girlfriend". However, after Harley Quinn's efforts to incite goons to rebel against their masters, Bane was forced to find a common cause with the other remnants of the Legion of Doom. They met at Iceberg Lounge & Casino and formed the Injustice League to defend themselves, regain their goons, and carve off the remains of Gotham for themselves. After struggling to figure out how to work the coffee machine, Bane lamented that they needed goons, to which everyone else immediately agreed. They devised a plan to get Harley into their group so they could regain their goons, at which point Bane wondered why she wasn't invited in the first place, resulting in derision from everyone else in the league.
Incomprehensible mumbling
At the Injustice League meeting, Bane continually complained about sitting on a folding chair rather than an executive chair like everyone else, which the rest of the league had deliberately done to make fun of him. Not quite getting it, Bane said, "Your jest will be avenged". Afterward, Harley smashed through the table and rejected all of the Injustice League's proposals, so Mister Freeze froze her in a block of ice, and Bane suggested they kill her. The rest of the league agreed with him, but Mister Freeze convinced them to keep her alive as a trophy instead, so Bane incoherently mocked Harley and left for his agreed-upon territory of New Gotham.
"Batman's Back Man"[]
- Main article: Batman's Back Man
At the Injustice League Headquarters, Two-Face is concerned after he heard that Harley "took down" Mister Freeze, meaning he and Bane are all that's left of the Injustice League. Two-Face continues to mistreat and make fun of Bane, forcing him to sit on a fold-up chair and making fun of his intelligence. Bane suggests that they join forces to protect themselves against Harley Quinn, but Two-Face turns him down and continues to berate and mock him.
Bane receiving his own executive office chair
The next day, after the news break that Batman has returned, he invites Bane to the Injustice League and presents him with his executive office chair and a drink, which overjoys Bane. He apologizes for his behavior the day before and suggests they team up. Bane is skeptical, wondering if he's only doing this because of Batman's return, which Tw-Face denies but agrees on the basis that it will be an equal partnership. Right away, Two-Face wants to discuss their branding, presenting him with a poster featuring only himself and a shadow named "Two-Faces". Bane notes that he is not included, but Two-Face insists he is represented by the shadow and the plural form of "Two-Faces", meaning both.
Bane fights Batman
At night, Bane runs into Batman, who is back on the streets with a new technological suit. Bane becomes enraged when Batman only looks for Two-Face, believing he is the sole person behind the operation. Bane charges at him and insists that he is equally in charge, but Batman points to the poster as proof of the contrary, noting that Two-Face already has two faces, so if they were equals, it should be three faces. This angers Bane even further, who hits the button on his chest to give him more venom, growing even larger and more powerful. Batman initially has the upper hand after blasting Bane away, but his suit becomes damaged after repeated pummeling from Bane, eventually breaking down and allowing Bane to break his legs. Broken and defeated, Batman is left on the ground while Bane angrily leaves to settle accounts with Two-Face regarding branding.
"That's beautiful"
Bane breaks down the wall to the Gotham City Hall in rage, demanding respect only for Two-Face to convince him to calm down so they can talk. He lets out the venom from his tubes, shrinking to his normal size. Two-Face compliments Bane for breaking Batman, although he tells him they should kill him when they get the chance rather than leave him hurt. Bane then insists they need to rethink their name, but Two-Face tells him the name is not the problem but rather that Bane needs his own space to do his best work. He takes him to the desert, where he gifts him a huge hole in the ground, which Bane is deeply moved by.

Judge Bane
As Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are brought to court for the murder of Oswald Cobblepot, Bane is acting as judge. He notes that he is unbiased, which Two-Face begrudgingly admits is true. Bane gives them a fair shot, trying to listen to their litigator Man-Bat, although he cannot understand what he is saying. However, after Ivy takes the stand and admits to everything, Bane sentences them to life in prison and takes them to his new prison The Pit that he got from Two-Face in the previous episode.
Bane presenting The Pit
Bane shoves them into the hole and then jumps after them, and then proceeds to give a tour of the underground facility. He earnestly tells them their mission in The Pit is to bring people "into the light" and genuinely help rehabilitate them. He then drops them off at their quarters, invites them to a talent show, and impresses them by saying they must make their beds daily. During group therapy, Bane gets annoyed when Poison Ivy does not clap after Victor Zsasz tells his story. She attempts to manipulate him into transferring them to Arkham, which he rejects, claiming "Arkham is for the criminally insane. The Pit is for the criminally capable". However, their spirits are lifted when he reveals George Lopez will appear at the talent show the next day, and they start to formulate an escape plan to escape with his helicopter during the show.
Bane encouraging Poison Ivy
When Bane notices that Harley has not made her bed, he bans her from participating in the talent show and sends her to solitary confinement, guarded by Cheryl. Later, Bane starts the talent show, performing some magic before George Lopez shows up. After Lopez's set, Ivy attempts to start a riot with her stand-up routine, and Bane encourages her with two thumbs-up after her routine goes down poorly with the other inmates. After the helicopter leaves, Ivy admits her plan and starts speaking earnestly, eventually motivating the inmates to start a riot, wanting to escape.
"No one escapes The Pit!"
The rioters' destruction of infrastructure has created a ramp towards the surface, which Harley and Ivy start to climb. However, Bane starts following them, trying to convince Ivy to return as she just made a breakthrough in the Pit, but Harley tells him not to "take credit for her emotional growth" and throws a chair at him. Fed up, Bane enhances his muscles with venom and begins climbing after them. Ivy gets high enough to see a vine in the side of The Pit and uses it to lift herself and Harley toward the surface. Not to be outdone, Bane launches himself after them, grabs Harley's ankle, and starts weighing them down. Bane admonishes Harley that only love sets us all free, which inspires her to let go of Ivy and sacrifice herself so that she can escape. She and Bane plummet to the fires below, with Harley yanking at Bane's fluid cords to send him choking and sputtering down ahead of her while Ivy saves Harley herself.

- — Bane
As Poison Ivy wrapped up her presentation of her plan, Bane suddenly arrived at Gotham Mall, praising the plan and slow clapping, although only because he had strained his hand playing table tennis. Bane then exclaimed he was there for revenge, pumping himself with Venom and explaining he wanted his wedding gift to Ivy and Kite Man — an expensive pasta-maker — back, as they never actually married. Harley's crew claimed they had no idea where it was while enjoying pasta bowls. Bane stormed out, claiming he would not ask so nicely next time. Later, when his credit card was declined, Bane was shopping at "More-4-Lex" for explosives and tried (and failed) to make small talk with the cashier. The cashier then gave his explosives to Calendar Man, who was next in line, angering Bane even more.
- ❝ I couldn't help but wonder. Was the teller telling the truth? Was I depressed? Perhaps my identity had been stolen, by myself. ❞

Bane contemplates his life
At Gotham City Bank, Bane tried to figure out what was wrong with his credit card, and the bank teller told him they had spotted "suspicious activity" on the card, including multiple purchases at Big Belly Burger early in the morning, 25 cases of hard seltzer and the wedding dress worn by the lead in the Sex and the City movie. Bane insisted there was nothing suspicious about these purchases, causing the teller to wonder if his spending history was a sign of depression. Flustered, Bane denied this, but silently started pondering the possibility.
After finally getting his explosives, Bane returned to the mall, ready to extract his for revenge, only to see the mall collapse and be completely destroyed right before him without his help. Stunned, he remarked that he felt nothing and wondered if he needed a therapist.

Bane is snubbed by Cheetah
Bane got hired as a seat-filler at the Villy Awards and was seated next to Kite Man, whose girlfriend had not yet arrived. This caused a brief misunderstanding, as Harley thought Bane was Kite Man's date. As Harley and Ivy (Kite Man's ex) left the table following some very awkward small talk, Bane commented on the tension, although he concluded it was caused by their unwillingness to return his pasta-maker. Later, Bane left his seat to chat up Cheetah by the bar, asking if she was going to any cool after-party, but she ignored him.

Later, as the High Owl announced the orgy was beginning, Bane overheard Harley and Ivy arguing after Harley found out Ivy and Catwoman used to hook up. As Ivy insisted there was nothing to talk about, Bane interjected that it sounded like the opposite, then asked them to help him out of his costume; although they both yelled at him, he walked off. Bane eventually got out of his costume and ate a sandwich to "carbo-load" for the orgy, and he was disappointed when the orgy was cut short by the lights accidentally turning on.

Nora Freeze was sitting at her desk, browsing a dating app, when Ivy asked her to call the company and get her broken pasta maker fixed. She reluctantly agreed. Soon after, Bane approached her to talk, but accidentally knocked her table over. He quickly framed it as “an intentional goof to liven her spirits”. Nora began flirting with Bane, asking for his help and persuading him to fix the pasta maker handle, but he didn’t mind.
The party preparations are well underway
Later, when the meeting ended and all the members stood up to leave, King Shark introduced himself and explained that he and his platonic wife were expecting 9 babies, also he mentioned that he loved parties. As the other members left, ignoring him, Nora took pity on him and said she would throw him a baby shower. Seeing Bane through the window, Nora decided to dump the task on him.
Bane was multitasking: organizing a celebration for King Shark while also hanging on the tech support line of a pasta maker company.
It's party time!
Later, when the party was ready, Bane approached King Shark to congratulate him. Then, turning to Nora, he asked, “How was she enjoying the shower and the person who had planned it?” hinting at himself.
Bane is jealous
Without waiting for an answer, he noticed that his phone was about to run out of battery (still on hold with tech support), and there were no free sockets nearby. With an exclamation of "Damn, your thought touches, Bane! " he abruptly left the party.
Bane plugged his phone into the charger, noticing that Nora was already in the company of Captain Cold. He watched sadly, cursing his warm blood. Without waiting for a response from tech support, Bane took matters into his own hands, impulsively deciding to go straight to Italy, where the pasta maker was made. When ordering a ticket by phone, he was again put on hold, awaiting a response.

Bane at the Pasta Maker headquarters
Bane finally made it to Italy. He headed to the Pasta Maker Headquarters to finally deal with the broken handle of his pasta maker. But it was all in vain. He encountered the receptionist's indifference and left empty-handed, but in his signature style—by blowing up the building.
A little later, he ran into two Italian boys. Introducing himself with his name, but in an Italian manner, he made them laugh.
- Bane
Ah, hola, bambinos! It’s a me! Uh, Bahn-io.
- Italian boy
He says his name is «Toilet»!
- [The Italian boys laugh. Bane starts laughing too and, not understanding what they are laughing about, says]
- Bane
Indeed.
Bane asked where he could find the best pasta maker, to which one of the Italian boys pointed toward a charming little house. Before he could thank them, Bane noticed they had stolen his scooter, leaving him no choice but to climb to the house on foot. He longed for Nora along the way.
Mama Naсaroni's house
When he finally reached the house, he was "warmly" welcomed by Mama Nacaroni—who promptly stabbed him in the chest with a knife. After explaining that he was searching for the best pasta maker in all of Italy, she declared that he had already found it. Bane was overjoyed.
Softening up a bit, Mama Nacaroni offered Bane some grapes and cheese. But soon after, she snatched it back, saying, "No freeloading," implying that he would have to help her in the kitchen. Bane replied that he needed rest, worried his body might fail him. However, Mama Nacaroni boosted his morale.
- Mama Nacaroni
You eat my parmesan uh, you help in the kitchen, uh?
- [Takes food from Bane]
- Bane
I need rest. I’m afraid my body will fail me.
- Mama Nacaroni
Now is not the time for fear. Fear comes… Ah, later.
- Bane
After dessert?
Later, Bane shared his love story. He talked about Nora while Mama Nacaroni tied an apron around him.
- ❝ I wouldn’t call it “love at first sight”. What I have with Nora is much deeper. ❞
- — Bane
She remarked that it was time to work with his hands, not his mouth. Bane felt he was being treated rudely. Mama Nacaroni explained that making pasta "is passion, it is life," and he needed to focus.
A distressed Bane in the process of learning Italian wisdom
Bane soon faced his first challenge—he couldn’t crack the eggs evenly, and pieces of shell kept falling into the egg whites. Seeing his struggle, Mama Nacaroni devised a solution: she taped a photo of Nora onto one of the eggs. With newfound determination, Bane managed to crack the egg perfectly.
- Bane
Your eggs are faulty. I will ‘splode them all.
- [Bane slam his fists on the table, shattering all the eggs in the bowl]
- Mama Nacaroni
Give to me a photo of your beloved.
- [Bane pulls out a photo of Nora from his pocket. Mama Nacaroni took the photo and glued it to the egg]
- Mama Nacaroni
Now you try.
- Bane
Okay. But I will assuredly break her. Like I have so many bodies and spirits in my career.
Evening had fallen. Bane was kneading the dough, and Mama Nacaroni, seeking to make the process more passionate, suggested he imagine the dough as Nora’s bosoms. Flustered but motivated, Bane continued. Moments later, she ordered him to start over independently, declaring that she would not tolerate freeloaders in her kitchen.
Determined, Bane completed every step of the process except for cutting the dough into even spaghetti strips. Taking a knife in hand, he attempted to slice the dough, but at the last second, he hesitated and said, "I can’t." Mama Nacaroni encouraged him, reminding him of his strength. Bane remembered this to be the precision required to assemble the bombs for his 'splosives, where every small detail mattered. She urged him to «think of each fettuccine as a 'splosive of feelings for his Nora.
Bane tried again but ended up cutting the strips too thick. Frustrated yet persistent, he pushed himself, repeating the process repeatedly until he finally achieved the perfect size.
Bon appetit, Bane
After the grueling cooking, morning arrived. Bane was sleeping on the floor, surrounded by dough and broken eggs. Mama Nacaroni woke him up to try the spaghetti.
When Bane tasted it, he was amazed. He asked who had made such delicious pasta, to which Mama Nacaroni replied, "You did." She declared him "the second greatest pasta maker in all of Italy." Overwhelmed, Bane was deeply touched by her words.
- Bane
I’m the pasta maker?
- [Bane kneels down]
- Bane
Mama, I may have been born in a prison, but I have been living in a prison of my own makin, the warden, my self-doubt. I have become the thing that I sought. Thank you, mama!
- [Bane hugs Mama Nacaroni]
Bane hugs Mama Nacaroni
Joyful, Bane packed all the pasta he had made into his suitcase. Mama Nacaroni was surprised that he was leaving. She didn’t let him go, saying he would now run her business and become her heir. Mama Nacaroni was displeased that Bane knew her secrets and just wanted to leave. She knocked him out with a rolling pin, and Bane fell unconscious.
After some time, Bane woke up and noticed that his tubes for venom were connected to a canister of olive oil, and he was tied to a chair. Mama Nacaroni wanted him to pay for his arrogance with his life. She tried to put his hands into the meat grinder.
- Bane
Mama, not my fingers! I need these to pleasure Nora…
- [Bane gives a sly smile and looks at the camera]
- Bane
With my calligraphy.
Bane's Letter to Mama Nacaroni
After Bane said that he was a semi-famous villain, Mama Nacaroni loosened her grip and became interested. It turned out that she had dreamed of going to a concert of Clayface in Vegas, and through Bane, she got what she wanted. Clayface made a deal with Bane: for the ticket, he had to hit Ivy live on the news to disgrace her. Bane didn’t agree right away, but the knife pressed against him changed his mind.
Nora and Bane
Finally, Bane said goodbye to Mama Nacaroni, leaving her a note. He also took his scooter back from the italian boys and returned to Gotham, bidding farewell to the beautiful views of Italy.
Later, back in Gotham, he met Nora. She was in the process of destroying and robbing stores because, while he had been gone, Lex Luthor had launched an attack, blocking access to the sun.
- Bane
Hey, Nora!
- [Bane rides up to her on his scooter]
- Bane
Mi amore!
- Nora Freeze
‘Splosions guy. Where were you when I needed you?
- [Bane approaches her with a suitcase full of pasta.]
- Bane
I was in Italia, trying to replace the handle of Ivy’s Pasta Maker for you.
- [Nora looks at him questioningly]
- Bane
I-I failed. But in my journey of self-discovery, I achieved something far better. Son oil pastaio.
- [Bane raises the suitcase full of pasta high in the air]
- Bane
I’m the pasta maker.
- [Lightning strikes behind Bane]
- Nora Freeze
Yeah, I had pasta for lunch.
- [Bane looks disappointed]
- Bane
Uhh..
Nora asked Bane to break the display case for the beach umbrella. Bane still tried to offer her the pasta, but seeing the discontent in her eyes, he quickly decided not to argue and smashed the showcase with the suitcase.
The scene then took us back to the beginning of the episode, where Harley and Ivy had just returned from their trip to the future. Bane danced joyfully in the background, humming a song. He accidentally knocked over a fire hydrant but quickly put it back in place.

"Pilot, Hell Yeah!"[]
- Main article: Pilot, Hell Yeah!
Bane thinks about great things: from crumbs to full-sized chips
He was seen at a meeting of the Legion of Doom, where Lex revealed that he had found the Anti-Life Equation. However, Bane was more focused on finding a way to reconstruct broken chips and make them whole again, which angered the Legion, especially Lex. Then he went to find a villain who could fly, and with no other options, he took Kite Man. After another meeting of the Legion, where he once again made Lex Luthor angry, Lex, fed up with his nonsense, threw him out of the facility in a rocket chair.
After that, he landed at Noonan's Bar, where he was taken by Kite Man and Golden Glider to carry out a robbery at Darryl Brown's mansion, which went badly. During a battle with Darryl's bodyguards, Bane was hit and knocked out, but somehow, he managed to sneak away during the chaos and go to the bathroom in the mansion. After the battle, Kite Man and Golden Glider bought Noonan's Bar, and Bane offered to work as a waiter. Fed up with the verbal and physical abuse from Lex, he quit the Legion of Doom.
"Grand Reopening, Hell Yeah!"[]
- Main article: Grand Reopening, Hell Yeah!
Bane is cool enough to be a waiter
He offered to be the new waiter for free, even cleaning the tables and removing the gum beforehand so they would consider him. Golden Glider hired him, but Kite Man, Queen of Fables, and Moe Dubelz told Glider that Bane wasn’t the "cool option," calling it the "reverse Hooters situation." After Malice showed up, Kite Man fired Bane, who, naturally, was angry. However, it was then discovered that he was allergic to cats (Malice came with her cat), and he began to choke due to the allergy until Glider injected him with his allergy stick. Bane tried to beg to get back into the Legion, but the bodyguard at the door wouldn’t let him in. Later, he tried to get into the Legion’s party by impersonating a clown, and he managed to get in, but he didn’t get his job back in the Legion and stayed at Noonan's Bar. Eventually, he returned to the bar as a bouncer.
"Villigan's, Hell Yeah!"[]
- Main article: Villigan's, Hell Yeah!
Bane takes an order from the ladies
After a Villigan's bar opened in front of Noonan's Bar, all the clients started going to the new bar. Bane, wanting to see what it was about, excused himself, saying he was going to investigate. However, when Kite Man entered Villigan's Bar, Bane revealed that he now worked there. He explained that after seeing a waiter dressed as Bane performing poorly at his job, he decided to take over the waiter’s duties. This quickly led to him being offered a job at the bar.
After Villigan's Bar exploded, Bane returned to Noonan's Bar. This happened after Baby Doll fired him for unknown reasons (possibly as a way to vent Baby Doll's anger). Bane, now angry, declared that he would never go back to Villigan's again.
"Portal Potty, Hell Yeah!"[]
- Main article: Portal Potty, Hell Yeah!
Bane is dissatisfied with mobile internet in the '80s
After going to the bathroom in Kite Man and Golden Glider's apartment, Bane traveled back in time to the 1980s. At first, he was scared and left a message on the wall of their apartment so that they would see it and come to rescue him. However, after touring '80s Gotham and returning to Noonan's Bar, he asked Noonan how he could go back. Noonan secretly told him that he only had to pee and flush to open the portal back to his time.
Later, Bane met Rebecca Chen and fell in love with her. He immediately stopped when he saw that she was married and also the mother of Golden Glider. But after seeing that her husband was a jerk, he tried to seduce her, though he repeatedly failed. After Kite Man and Golden Glider went back in time to stop Glider's younger self from killing his parents with his powers, Bane misunderstood and thought that Kite Man had traveled back in time to rescue him. He told Kite Man that he was now his best friend.
After failing to make the young Golden Glider angry enough to manifest his powers, Bane protected Rebecca Chen from an explosion of power and saved her life. However, Rebecca left to live a life of travel. After this, Bane, Kite Man, and Golden Glider returned to their time.
"Prison Break, Hell Yeah!"[]
- Main article: Prison Break, Hell Yeah!
Bane meets his old friends
Bane hired a detective to find Rebecca Chen. The detective told him that she was in The Pit. Bane initially refused to go, but Golden Glider threatened him, so he agreed. Bane, Glider, and Kite Man traveled to The Pit on a Villigan's Corporation plane. During the flight, Bane tried to find the parents of a boy who was drinking water from the potty. This caused the flight attendants to kick them off the plane. Kite Man accidentally broke a window in the process. They were thrown overboard. By coincidence, they were already above The Pit prison.
Bane felt both excited and nostalgic to return. However, he was surprised to discover that Villigan's Corporation had bought the place and turned it into a factory. The prisoners were hypnotized with gas to make them work. Helen Villigan revealed that she had Rebecca, who had already been in The Pit before it was purchased. Kite Man accidentally activated the security protocol, causing chaos.
Bane defended himself by killing all the prisoners who got close to him. During the chaos, he had a heartfelt conversation with Kite Man that brought them closer as friends. Bane eventually rescued Rebecca from her cage and escaped with Kite Man and Golden Glider. However, during the escape, Bane was forced to kill the only three friends he had from The Pit.
After returning to Gotham, Bane received a phone call from Carol at Villigan Corporation's customer service. He had a heated argument with her about everything he had endured because of Villigan Corporation.
"Mother/Daughter Day, Hell Yeah!"[]
- Main article: Mother/Daughter Day, Hell Yeah!
Bane and Betty have a heartfelt conversation
After being constantly rejected by Rebecca, a depressed Bane took Sean Noonan's advice to stop thinking about her for a while and go on a date with another woman. Bane contacted Betty to ask her out on a date. She was surprised that Bane called her again after their sexual encounter on Valentine's Day. Bane admitted that he had been ashamed because, at the time, he had a kaiju-like size and ended up destroying the entire apartment building during their encounter. Betty said she didn’t complain about that.
Betty asked if he had been with another woman since Valentine's Day. Bane tried to deny it, but he accidentally thought out loud and revealed the entire situation with Rebecca to Betty. Despite this, Betty was happy to have something more meaningful with him than just sex, unlike her previous relationships with other men.
Later, after their dinner date, they had sex again. However, Bane began to cry afterward. Betty assumed it was just something he did after sex, but Bane told her that his heart still belonged to Rebecca. Betty didn’t complain, but after Bane revealed that Rebecca didn’t even know he existed, Betty told him to choose her instead. She explained that she was always a woman who was never anyone’s first choice, and Bane was a man who nobody noticed.
Bane loved the way Betty spoke and chose her.
"Sexiest Villain Alive, Hell Yeah!"[]
- Main article: Sexiest Villain Alive, Hell Yeah!
The episode began with the TV show "Gossip Gotham with Tawny", where Tawny announced that the eighth annual Villigans Sexiest Villain Alive awards would take place. Bane initially had a negative opinion about the event, but after learning that he was among the nominees (which also included Lex Luthor and Beast Mode), he changed his attitude toward the situation.
The Sexiest Villain Alive and Malice
Malice and Beast Mode (Kite Man) had a small confrontation, which led Malice to decide to help Bane win the award. She took him to the Disturbing Sizes Boutique, where she transformed him.
After the shopping trip, Malice presented Bane to the crew at Noonan’s Bar. Noticing their indifferent reaction, she decided that something was missing from Bane’s new look. A bit later, Malice found a briefcase that Lex Luthor had hidden in a freezer with chicken nuggets. This accessory completed Bane's look.
At the event, Bane attracted attention with a short performance in his own style.
- ❝ I see you wondering, uh-huh..
Who is that fancy lad with his shiny silk suit?
Well, let me tell you, or rather, let me spell it to you…
B-B-B
“B” is for back off, ladies
Plenty of me to go around
A-A-A
“A” is for Aye, I said,
“Back off, ladies”
Seriously! Didn’t you hear me say “B”?
N
“N” is for not listening
I said, “back off”
Because I don’t want you
To rip the new suit
You know?
Uh…
E-E
“E” is for, uh… uh...
‘Mergency!!!
Yeah, yeah!
“E” is for ‘mergency, yeah
As we are going to need to call ‘mergency services
‘Cause these ladies just won’t back off of me
Exclamation point! ❞
- — Bane's song
Everyone was impressed, and Beast Mode noted that he now had an unexpected competitor.
Lex Luthor noticed that Bane was holding the briefcase containing "The Anti-Life Equation" and tried to talk to him. He even offered Bane a seat back at the big table — The Legion of Doom — but Bane refused.
The awards ceremony began. However, it was revealed that the winner had already been chosen: Beast Mode.
Bane and Malice were puzzled by the choice of the winner. Despite the loss, Bane remarked that perhaps the most important thing was the friendship that had formed between him and Malice. Malice didn't share this sentiment, pointing out that she didn’t befriend losers.
Afterward, chaos broke out. Helen tried to take the briefcase from Bane by turning Beast Mode against him. Beast Mode used his new powers to control the briefcase, using it to beat Bane. Bane tried to hold onto the briefcase but, realizing that it had only brought him despair, let it go.
The briefcase ultimately ended up in Glider’s hands. After some time, Glider returned Kite Man to his original form and then left the event with both Kite Man and the briefcase.
Bane, with hope, asked if Kite Man would still get the award.
"Just Right, Hell Yeah!"[]
- Main article: Just Right, Hell Yeah!
After the Queen of Fables summoned the three bears from her book, she left it on the bar counter. A little later, part of the hair bow popped out of the book.
Bane's presentation
Meanwhile, it was lunchtime at the bar. Bane was drinking juice when he suddenly received a message from Lex Luthor and Helen. They wanted to meet him in person to discuss some important matters. Bane was thrilled by the invitation.
- Queen of Fables
The hell, you think they want?
- Bane
Isn’t obvious? They want Bane at the big boy table!
The guys suspected something was off about Bane's invitation from Lex, but he reassured them, pointing out that Helen knows a supervillain when she sees one and had clearly convinced Lex that Bane was worthy of respect.
Later, they noticed a little girl—it turned out to be Goldilocks. The Queen of Fables ordered her to return to the book, but Goldilocks didn’t want to go back. She hid behind Bane, and he suggested letting her stay for a while. The Queen of Fables chose Bane to babysit her. Bane said he wasn’t great with children and had a flashback of himself in a clown costume, trying to entertain kids with balloon animals. In the end, Bane agreed to watch over Goldilocks but asked the Queen of Fables not to forget about his meeting with Lex and Helen.
After some time, Bane and Goldilocks returned to the bar from shopping. He complained that it had been a tough outing because Goldilocks spent too much time picking out clothes. Bane noticed that the Queen of Fables hadn’t returned yet. He asked Sean to look after the girl, but he refused. Bane needed to print a presentation he had prepared for his meeting with Lex and Helen. He checked the time and realized that "PO Boxes and So Forth" would close in 20 minutes. He took Goldilocks with him, and they went together.
In the end, Bane didn’t manage to print his presentation because the "PO Boxes and So Forth" employee spent the remaining work time focusing on Goldilocks, trying to please her with the right lollipops.
Bane protects Goldilocks
Finally, Bane, along with Goldilocks, came to the negotiations with Lex and Helen. Eventually, Lex Luthor’s invitation turned out to be a trick—he wanted Bane to lead them to Kite Man so they could retrieve the briefcase. Helen offered Goldilocks a seat while they handled their important matters. During their conversation, Goldilocks, as usual, was dissatisfied with the seating and distracted them from the discussion. Helen and Lex grew angry with her and started saying rude things. Bane stood up for Goldilocks.
- Bane
She knows what she wants and will not settle for something that is not just right.
- [Bane picks up Goldilocks]
- Bane
A lesson I should have learned long ago. I pass on your offer.
- Lex Luthor
We made no offer.
- [Bane knocks over the couch]
- Bane
Come on, Goldie. We’re leaving.
Bane and Goldilocks returned to the bar. They found the Queen of Fables and Moe Dubelz in an intimate setting. Bane covered Goldilocks' eyes, and later, his own.
"To Get To The Other Side, Hell Yeah!"[]
- Main article: To Get To The Other Side, Hell Yeah!
Bane and Goldilocks were walking through the park and chatting about all sorts of things when Goldilocks said she wanted to go home and watch a show. Bane remembered himself at her age: he didn’t have a show and made up stories with rocks.
- ❝ When I was your age, I did not have shows. I was in a pit. I would use my imagination and invent stories for the rocks. They and the darkness were my only friends. ❞
- — Bane
Goldilocks asked Bane to tell her a love story with princesses but without kisses, as she thought kisses were gross. Bane found a story where there was no kissing or eye contact: he retold the story of how he (as Bane-jamin) visited the 80s and met Princess Rebecca Chen.
Bane is an interesting storyteller
A little later, Bane continued telling his story while sitting on a bench. In the meantime, other moms with kids gathered around him and listened attentively to his story.
- Bane
Uh... Excuse me. What is that?
- [Bane points at a pouch of applesauce in one of the children’s hands]
- Child’s mom
Oh, It’s just an applesauce squeezer.
- Bane
They have those? Do you have any idea how much time I spend smushing apples, putting in cinnamon and nutmeg just so she eats something healthy? That is such a timesaver.
Goldilocks interrupted the conversation, asking what happened next with Princess Rebecca in the story. The moms were also interested in the continuation.
A bit later, as they approached Noonan's Bar, Bane finished the story, saying that Princess Rebecca got lost in time. Goldilocks worried about Rebecca's daughter, Golden Glider, because bad guys were chasing her for stealing the Anti-Life Equation. She hoped someone would save her and that she’d have a happy ending.
- Goldilocks
Someone will save her, right?
- [Bane thinks for a moment]
- Bane
That is still unwritten.
- Goldilocks
So there’s still time for her to get a happy ending?
- [Bane gets nervous]
- Bane
What? You are not old enough to know…
- [Bane, realizing she means something else, gets embarrassed]
- Bane
Oh oh oh… A happy ending to the story. Right. Well, maybe one day you’ll see.
- [Bane pats Goldilocks on the head]
Their conversation was interrupted by Gus fighting with one of Lex’s pawns. More LexCorp cars pulled up to the bar. Bane joined the fight, protecting Goldilocks at the same time. Bane told her to run upstairs, lock the door, and stay there until he came for her because it was too dangerous. Goldilocks warned him that she needed to use the bathroom “for number two.” Bane handed her a newspaper to read.
Bane and Goldilocks
Goldilocks found a bathroom with a portal. Instead of reading “Do not enter,” she read it as “Donut” and mistakenly assumed it was a donut-themed bathroom. Excitedly, she went inside.
After the fight ended, Bane noticed three bears and happily shared that they had a mutual friend. At that moment, Bane remembered Goldilocks was supposed to be upstairs. He realized she might have mixed up the rooms and gone through the portal. That was exactly what happened.
Bane found a lollipop in the room and declared himself “a terrible babysitter.”
"Impossible Schemes, Hell Yeah!"[]
- Main article: Impossible Schemes, Hell Yeah!
Bane is angry because he can't enter the portal
Bane was at Noonan’s bar, drinking coffee mixed with prune juice. He was trying to access the 80s through a portal in the restroom to retrieve Goldilocks.
Meanwhile, Goldilocks met Rebecca Chen— the beautiful princess from Bane’s stories. In her childish naivety, she told Rebecca about Rebecca's daughter and how she is on the run with the Anti-Life Equation from the bad guys. She also mentioned Darkseid, who was also hunting for the A-LE. On the newspaper that Bane had previously given to Goldilocks, Rebecca discovered an ad saying "Darkseid Choir seeks devoted voice," which piqued her interest.
At that time, along with the other guys, Bane thought about what to do with the Anti-Life Equation.
Some time later, Bane was still trying to enter the portal, but he discovered that Goldilocks had already returned on her own. He also learned that Goldilocks had met Rebecca and told her the entire story about the Anti-Life Equation. Bane hoped that it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Later, on a rooftop, Lex Luthor assembled a group of villains to attack Kite Man and Golden Glider. Bane and his friends from the bar arrived to assist. A fierce battle ensued, but ultimately, they emerged victorious thanks to the Book of Fables.
Darkseid appeared, and Kite Man almost read the Anti-Life Equation. Suddenly, Rebecca emerged from Darkseid’s choir, snatched the briefcase, and jumped into the Book of Fables. Everyone tried to grab the book. Lex almost got it, but Bane pushed him aside and took the book. Darkseid tried to intimidate Bane when suddenly Gus asked him to hand over the book. It turned out that Gus had been Martian Manhunter all along. He took the storybook, praised Kite Man and Golden Glider, and disappeared.
- ❝ You know what? He’s got that look and voice down for sure. ❞
- — Bane about the fake Gus.
Later, Bane could be seen in the bar in the background, drinking a milkshake.
Season 5[]

Personality[]
In stark contrast to his cunning and resourceful comic book counterpart, this version of Bane appears to be quite foolish and simple-minded. He can be easily fooled by most people and irritated by seemingly random things. His feelings can be hurt quite easily, although it is just as easy for his feelings to recover. He is also somewhat fascinated with blowing up things and constantly uses it as a threat. Out of all the Injustice League members, aside from Mister Freeze, Bane has the least animosity toward Harley and is seen actually getting along with her while she was working at the Legion of Doom. Near the end of the show's Valentine's Day special, he started showing genuine remorse for the destruction he caused due to raging hormones and his kaiju-like size after being set free from the lustful spell, which Harley said was caused by Poison Ivy's pheromones in her body. Thankfully, he found solace in a young woman named Betty.
