For those of you who don’t know, Bane’s story has two endings in the Arkham series. One is considered canon, while the other is not.
In the Arkham Knight prequel comic, Bane is killed by the Arkham Knight as proof to the other rogues that he has what it takes to kill Batman. This is considered non-canon.
In the actual Arkham Knight game, a Riddle reveals that Bane kicked his Venom addiction, returned to Santa Prisca, and liberated it from the drug lords that controlled it. This is considered canon.
Regardless of canonicity, which do you feel was the better ending for Bane’s character? I personally prefer the canon version. It just feels like a more satisfying conclusion for his character arc. What are your thoughts?
I definitely prefer the canon version of events as it seems much more fitting for Bane. Arkham Knight was good, but his thing wasn’t about killing other villains, it was about recruiting them, so killing Bane seems unnecessary, and just seems like some convenient writing.
Bane had control of Santa Prisca previously, and it seems very fitting for him to take care of a drug cartel that’s hurting his people. Much much more satisfying ending.
