Tom Hardy's fearsome Bane is the villain of The Dark Knight Rises, but the movie changes elements of his backstory, including his nationality.
The nationality of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises is a part of his backstory that the movie does not make fully clear. 2012's The Dark Knight Rises serves as the final chapter of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, with Bruce Wayne having spent the eight years since The Dark Knight lonely and retired from his life as Batman. When the League of Shadows returns to destroy Gotham City under the leadership of Bane , Bruce returns to action as Batman and faces his greatest challenge yet.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The story of The Dark Knight Rises is partially based on the Knightfall story in the comics and includes Bane crippling Batman with a back injury that he has to work hard to overcome in order to defeat his enemy. While The Dark Knight Rises keeps Bane's well-known combination of brains and brawn a key part of his identity, it modifies numerous other aspects of his backstory.
For his part, composer Hans Zimmer has kept the language he drew the chant from a secret, which leaves the location of the Pit, and with it Bane's nationality, a mystery. However, Bane's accent sounds vaguely English, which could suggest he is British himself or that his lineage is from a territory once occupied by the British Empire. It could also simply be an element of Hardy's natural voice.
Bane's Nationality In DC Comics In the comics, Bane is from the fictional Latin American island of Santa Prisca, which is located in the Caribbean Sea. This is reflected in Bane's mask in the comics, which is clearly inspired by the Luchador masks worn by Lucha Libre wrestlers. Animated adaptations of Bane, such as in Batman: The Animated Series, have held true to these elements of Bane's origins, along with Bane's use of the strength-enhancing drug Venom.
With Nolan re-centering Bane's origin story to his long history of imprisonment in the Pit and its setting either in the Middle East, North Africa, or India, this might have played into the decision keep Bane's nationality vague. The villains of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy tend to have very mysterious backgrounds, with even Heath Ledger's Joker being more of an enigma than usual.
