However, it’s not true that Bane has always been played by a white actor. In short, both of Bane’s live action film appearances could be argued to not REALLY be Bane as we know him, but an even more obscure character bearing his name. In The Dark Knight Rises, Bane is played by another Caucasian man, Tom Hardy, and whose background is as an international mercenary-a background which has less in common with the Bane we know from the comics than it does with the persistent Tim Drake villain Edmund Dorrance, aka King Snake. His background is actually more similar to a character named Ivor, a man who henched for Poison Ivy in 1982’s Batman #344, but Bane was a bigger name and got tagged in to take his place. The name given to him is latino in origin, but apart from that he is played by Robert “Jeep” Swenson, a Caucasian American wrestler. In the film Batman & Robin, he was an incarcerated killer named Antonio Diego who’s turned into a henchman by Poison Ivy. Like many characters, Bane’s background is one that varies between interpretations.
