BANE

Storm Collectibles has released a new teaser image, this one appears to be an image for an upcoming DC Injustice video game based Bane figure which would be joining the already announced Lobo and Darkseid figures. With Bane coming, could Batman be far behind?

We reported back in October from New York Comic Con that for Gotham's fifth and final season, Shane West would be playing the character of Bane. West will be be introduced as Eduardo Dorrance, a former Army friend of Jim Gordon’s (Ben McKenzie), who is gradually transformed into the supervillain. Entertainment Weekly has released an official look at West in the Bane character after writer and producer Tze Chun posted a set photo of the character on Twitter. Gotham‘s Bane was described by showrunner John Stephens as “very, very strong, and very angry … we made him integral to the fact of coming in as a special ops government agent.” Season 5 will continue the “No Man’s Land” storyline from the comics, where Gotham City is isolated by the U.S. government from the rest of the country.. “We pick up at the top of season five, at the conclusion of No Man’s Land, Day 365,” Stephens said. “Then, we cycle backwards to day 87, three months into No Man’s Land where Jim has created his green zone and wants his reunification. We’re catching up, and for the first nine episodes, we’re always catching up to that first scene we see.” The producers have also stated that “the fifth and final season will wrap up this unique origin story of the great DC Comics Super-villains and vigilantes, which revealed an entirely new chapter that has never been told.”
