About

In the 1995 fighting game WeaponLord, Bane is a cursed, axe-wielding barbarian warrior fighting to break his curse. In the action games Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu (2003) and its Commemorative Edition, Bane is the venom-powered DC Comics supervillain who serves as a boss character fighting against Batman.
In WeaponLord, the character's design reflects the dark fantasy aesthetic popularized by 1990s comics and barbarian literature. Developed by Visual Concepts, this title introduced complex weapon-based combat mechanics, where Bane's playstyle relies on high-damage strikes, weapon breaks, and thrust blocks to overpower opponents. His storyline culminates in a confrontation with the warlord Zorn to secure his freedom.
For the DC Comics incarnation in Batman Rise of Sin Tzu, Ubisoft Montreal integrated the character into a cooperative beat-'em-up framework. This version is voiced by Hector Elizondo, maintaining continuity with the animated film Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman. Players encounter him in the Stonegate Penitentiary stage, where they must dodge charging attacks and utilize environmental hazards to deplete his health bar. The Batman Rise Of Sin Tzu [Action Figure Commemorative Edition] targeted collectors by packaging the game with an exclusive action figure, capitalizing on the character's popularity during the early 2000s superhero gaming boom.
