One day, these rules will change, perhaps even in the next century. Bane says they have to, if we are to survive, but who knows, truly? Bane is equal opportunity, and gender rules are, quite frankly, ridiculous and insultingly stupid drivel.
#WTCGender
Norms are imaginary, facts are not. We are all, equally, human, and should be treated as such. No restrictions, no made up rules. We shall all rise stronger together and, as Wollstonecraft once said, we shall be better when we don't waste 50% of the people.
-Bane, 1995

The intricacies & effort that go into video games is simply fantastic, & this book does justice above & bynd to that! We learn so much from them, are taught things, feel things, just like any other art form- except, perhaps, more potently. For we're in control
-Bane, 2005 #WTCVid
Bane has played video games every waking moment since escaping the darkness, and while it may consume his personal life, they fuel his public life as well. Bane even advertised for the NES Batman game in 1989 before he became famous, albeit only in Brazil.

With that said, this is perhaps Bane's favourite reading, and was done in a special one night only broadcast from 2005. Bane fixated mostly on the design and programming aspects of the book, which is where he finds his most pleasure.

Bane once read 'Kindred' back as the third and fourth episodes of RWB in 1990, but this year we finish that trilogy with a reading of Home & Dwelling! A confusing read, but it gives helpful insight into the characters. Really makes Bane think about literary devices used.

Bane is all for the destruction and criticism of colonialism, and its evils know no bounds! Victors may write history, but history always proves to be the victors' undoing sooner or later! Have we learned nothing from Star Trek's "Patterns of Force" episode?!
-Bane, 2020

"A civilization that uses its principles for trickery and deceit is a dying civilization." Although early, it seems this is a common concept through civilization, one Bane unfortunately sees more slipping into! Fear not, the League of Shadows will never succumb to this!

Art can be whatever we want it to be, from artist's intent to viewer's interpretation- it can even mean nothing. Despite Magritte's attempts to convince us otherwise, however, I believe there is meaning here, and perhaps it is simply up to us to find it!
-Bane, 1993 #WTCMag
"whatever she had written would have been twisted and deformed, issuing from a strained and morbid imagination." How dare they attempt to mangle art in this way? It is unthinkable, and yet, it happened! Bane is repulsed by these methods, they are all too human!
#WTCRoom
The line "no woman, he said, could possibly be an
actress" is beyond insulting, and the plight that women underwent for rights is astounding and insulting to Bane. The darkness offers equality to everyone, so why is so called civilization so far behind? #WTCRoom
Bane has long been absent due to the pandemic, but fear not! Bane has been doing much studying on his old tapes, and is proud to present a Reading with Bane throwback marathon from the bridge of the Enterprise, inspired by this fan-mail I received!

@BrennaWillie Ha! A mood it is indeed! Bane finds joy and similarities in our understanding of Mr. Elliot! Lots of yellow smoke and hot air this one, eh?
-Bane
“This group of poems seems to deal with life in all sorts of facets. From the bitterness to the love to the unavoidable. A beautiful collection of life itself in these poems, Bane does decree!”
-Bane, ‘99

2. When I was a child in the 1940s, my mother would cut up slices of fruit for me (there wasn't much) and as she put it in front of me she would say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." How about, “A sonnet a day keeps the doctor away”? So...here we go: Sonnet 1.
Indeed! Gotham, please get on your feet, and hear the lyrical messages of BANE! I have said it for years on my television program, but this Shandy has finally understood!
