I wanna see Bane!!! Hopefully Bane will be in the episode. But that's a funny idea of Joker getting all beefed up to a monstrous proportion.

After all this time, an episode that has something to do with Bane. Hehee, I can already imagine Joker all bulked up:D I will be waiting for this one... I don't think the story's gonna be focused on Bane himself very much, but he might make an appearance.

Okay sounds a bit strange but its nice to have a mention of bane.
He should appear through at least have batman asking him questions about venom etc. Could get an insight into banes background (I think it was covered in Batman Strikes but that issue I havent read).
If they had it so Batman gets pumped up by venom to defeat joker but cant stop taking it would be a good idea but the likley hood of that happenng is slim...
Thanks for the info /\/\att

More of the overused Joker, ugh. Why can't it just be an episode featuring Bane? He hasn't been around for a long time and deserves the spotlight, thank you for the info /\/\att

I saw a comercial on Kids WB and it showed joker for a split second and I was able to notice that he was a bit bald and that he HUGE I mean HUGE. He was ten times bigger than Bane!

[shadow=green,left,300]My insight: Okay, guys, Bane hardly has much of a background. The one Batman Skrikes comic shows Bane wanting revenge on the man who made him a monster: HOWEVER that doesn't cordinate with the episode of "Traction" because Bane used the venom that made him a "monster". If he's using the venom for money, then why would he want revenge on the scientist? Seeing as Bane is a hired mercenary/assassin, he doesnt have much of a background... But I'm guessing that if Joker does steal the venom, Bane HAS TO make an appearence. Like some of you said, I'm gonna be super-mega P.O.ed if Joker is like King Kong sized. He should be as big as Bane at biggest... seeing how Bane, even without the venom, is still a large guy. This should be an interesting episode... However I'll have to Tivo it seeing as I'll need to be at convention from 7:00am til about 10:00pm on the 12th... urrrgh[/shadow]

He has a richly nuanced backstory in the comics, as you know, including Knightfall and a recent story arc that toyed with the notion of Bane and Bruce Wayne as long-lost brothers...

and a recent story arc that toyed with the notion of Bane and Bruce Wayne as long-lost brothers... I've heard of that... but, how exactly does that work though? Wasn't Bane raised in a prison because of crimes his father commited or something? Did Thomas Wayne have an extra son, do somethings he regreted in Brazil (or whereever Bane's from, I forgot) and was just like "oh well I'm busy in Gotham... OH! take my first born son in my place! Return him when you're done though, don't test experimential steroids on him!"... or did Martha Wayne have a fling with a South American convict she just never told anyone about? Or did they just decide this wasn't Bane's origin at all and he got one that implies he was Bruce brother instead? I'm not bashing the idea, it's kinda interesting (especially when you take in the fact Bane went to Gotham to fight Batman because he saw a Bat in his dreams, kinda eerie) I'm just wondering how they made it work or if they even did. More on topic: So now we've had "Joker as Batman" and "Joker as Bane".... Mattel should just go ahead and start sculpting a version of Joker based on every character in the show, lord knows he's gonna steal their power-ups or copy their look at some point down the road given how many times he shows up and we're just gonna ask for figures based on most of 'em anyway.

That bruce/bane brother storyline was many years ago and it was proven false before the story was over, so you can disregard that.

That bruce/bane brother storyline was many years ago and it was proven false before the story was over, so you can disregard that. You can disregard the notion that Bane and Bruce were actually brothers, but you shouldn't disregard the fact that both men, for a period of time during the story arc, had accepted the fact that they WERE brothers, until it was proven otherwise. In fact, Bruce was so convinced that he even allowed Bane to work with him on some cases he was pursuing. I thought it was a very cool, well-written plot that showed the depths of pain that both men had to endure in their youth - the processes that both characters had to go through had a lot of similarities. By the way...does the fact that the story appeared "many years ago" somehow detract from its significance? I hope not..."Year One" and "DKR" were many years ago, too. ;D P.S. - I'm sorry, but that "Joker on Venom" image is just...silly. I mean, the Joker needs Venom like Bane needs a rubber chicken.

While is was an interesting notion, and a good way to draw lines between Batman and the first man to break him, its not something I'd want in continuing continuity. I was merely trying to illustrate, for the MANY fans that don't actually read the comics, that there is actually no tie between Bruce and Bane, to avoid any confusion. That you would imply that I don't feel something is significant because its old is both absurd and slightly insulting.

No offense meant at all, Matt - I didn't mean YOU felt that way (obviously you are a true believer) - I simply want younger fans (who may only be familiar with the character from "The Batman" and "Begins") to be curious about Batman's past history, the same way I was in 1966 when I sought out the old annuals and anthologies after seeing the TV show. A young fan may be confused by comments which seem to link "many years ago" with "so you can disregard it", even though that is not the intent.

That was obviously not my intent with my statement, but after re-reading it, I can see how it too could be mis-understood. My biggest thing really is...if you're a Batman fan of ANY kind, you owe it to yourself to pick up a comic. Could be a brand new one, could be 20 years old...but you NEED to get your mits on 'em! I'm glad we got that cleared up!

I considered that particular storyline quite a stretch and was very relieved when it was over and the idea proven bogus. I was however; rather dissapointed previously when they also squashed the idea of Ra's being Bane's father. Personally I thought that was a brilliant idea that wouldve been awesome and couldve added many powerful elements to all the characters involved! Sorry for derailing the true topic at hand lol But sadly I missed this episode too : (

That bruce/bane brother storyline was many years ago and it was proven false before the story was over, so you can disregard that. I knew it was false, I just wanted to know how it came about... (forgot Google is the solution to every problem) Ooooooh, so Thomas Wayne visited the island Bane is from, makes sense now... not really (is Bane serving time because of Thomas committed crimes in that sceneiro or was the man who Bane went to jail in place of not his real father?)/// oh, well at the brothers thing was disreguarded, it's kinda annoying when writers decide their interesting twist is worth destroying a characters pre-established backstory and creating odd continuity errors for (coughTerryisBruce'sclonedespitehavingtwoparentsalreadyandmeetingBrucebysheerchancecough) More on topic again: Seriosuly Mattel! Take your Joker head you already have pull off the hair and slap it on the Bane figure (whip up a new set of feet though, I'm sure that Joker still doesn't own shoes).... that's the easiest figure to make EVER, put it a four pack or something.... having to go to work an hour eariler next Saturday is a good thing, since I'll be forced to wake up early enough to watch this episode.
