Bane??????

Why does he wear the mask, if I took it off would he die?

Er

Well.

Flagged, but in the Nolanverse it provides him with a steady stream of medicine to numb the chronic pain he suffers due to injuries he incurred while in the pit. Taking off the mask wouldn't kill him directly, but the pain would be debilitating to the point where he would die eventually.

I think?

"Would it be extremely painful?"

"For you"

You know, I didn't even think Bane was interesting even during Knightfall story arch. I was more like "OMG! Ventriloquist shot his own hand off?"
