**Bane** is one of the Fun Pack characters in *LEGO Dimensions*. He appears in the 71240 Fun Pack, for the DC Comics franchise.

## Background

In the country of Santa Prisca, **Eduardo Dorrance** was condemned to prison since birth to fill out his dead father's sentence. His mother was killed and his nightmares were haunted by a bat-like creature. Over the following years, he would become known as **Bane** and built up both his mind and body, becoming Batman's mental and physical equal. Volunteering for an experimental drug called Venom, Bane's already-impressive physical condition was enhanced greatly. The Venom, particularly in overdose, granted him incredible strength, healing, and resistance to damage, to the point of rendering him bulletproof.

When he arrived in Gotham City, Bane discovered Batman's identity as Bruce Wayne. He then blew a hole in the side of Arkham Asylum, forcing the dark knight to face a gauntlet of all his greatest enemies. With Batman wore out, Bane attacked him in the Batcave and broke his back, because he wanted Batman to suffer in his defeat instead of killing him. However, Bruce survived and returned to the mantle of the Batman after a recovery time when he was replaced by Azrael, and he and Bane have since become regular enemies.

After a while, Bane kicked his dependence on the Venom.

Just like Batman, Bane has been considered a worthy successor by Ra's Al Ghul and was engaged to his daughter Talia Al Ghul.
