Batman - Vengeance of Bane I & II (1993-1995)

This 1993 one-shot introduced us to Bane, a drug-dependent super-villain who eventually goes on to cripple Batman in the infamous “Knightfall” storyline.

Following the events of "Knightfall", Bane recovered from his Venom addiction while serving time in prison as seen in Vengeance of Bane II: The Redemption (1995). He eventually escaped from prison and returned to Gotham, where he fought alongside Batman to take out a criminal ring that was distributing a Venom derivative to street-level thugs. Following a victory over the criminals, Bane proclaimed that he was "innocent" of his past crimes and urged Batman to stop hunting him. He then left Gotham (without fighting Batman) to begin a search for his father.

Bane's search brought him back to Santa Prisca (shown in the Bane of the Demon miniseries published in 1998). In search of leads, Bane questioned the Jesuit priest who had taught him while he was in Peña Duro. The priest explained that there were four men who could possibly have been his father: a Santa Priscan revolutionary, an American doctor, an English mercenary, and a Swiss banker. While searching for the Swiss in Rome, Bane encountered Ra's al Ghul's daughter Talia. Talia introduced Bane to her father, and eventually Bane impressed Ra's so much that he chose Bane as his heir (an "honor" he had previously imparted on Batman).
