Absolute Batman- Abomination
Bruce and his five friends pay their respects to a dead man they knew named Mitchell “Matches” Malone
One week ago Bruce met with Matches to obtain a fake ID to get into Ark M
Out of nowhere Matches is killed by what Bruce deduces is a biological weapon
Bruce watches a video from Matches’ phone showing windowless titanium cells inside Ark M and finds the name of a doctor connected to Gotham at the bottom- Dr. Victor Fries
Alfred tells Bruce that the weapon is a bacterium but doesn’t know where it came from
Bruce infiltrates V-corp the crytotech company started by Fries, as an engineer
He meets Victor Fries Jr, CEO whose parents are in cryofreeze
Bruce deduces it was Victor Fries Jr responsible for the bacterium and is knocked out by Fries and dragged away
Fries puts him in a cryochamber to freeze but escapes it and V-corp
Bruce tells his friend Waylon Jones that Fries has released a snowfall which genetically tracks and profiles anyone it touches
Waylon is kidnapped by 2 men who plan to take Waylon to Ark M
Batman lays a beatdown on the criminal underworld looking for Waylon
Batman learns from police officer Barbara Gordon that Waylon was taken to Ark M
Waylon’s file reads that he was taken for being out past curfew but no one buys it because Alfred says that bad things happen in there
Batman encounters Bane inside Ark M who incapacitates Batman by hitting his pressure points. He gets knocked out
Bane becomes a prisoner and makes escape attempts several times only for Bane to knock him out every time
Bane offers the Batman suit to Bruce which he puts on but still gets beaten up
A humanoid crocodile man-creature intervenes and it is revealed to be Waylon. It helps Batman escape and they flee to the sewers
The story of Bane is narrated by Alfred
He was born on the island of Santa Prisca
His father is a rebel leader of a group called Cielos Libres and wants to liberate Santa Prisca
After eating cohobu seeds, Bane wishes to see the quetzal, a bird on the flag of Santa Prisca rising into the sky
Since quetzals die in captivity, the flag symbolizes freedom
After almost taking the capital, the rebellion is quashed and they are imprisoned for 11 years
The cohobu seed showed Bane a white bird, burning, with a back like a skull
He makes a mask for himself with the white bird on it
Bane breaks out of prison after which he meets with a man dressed in white on one of the beaches
After offering him something, the man leaves, and Bane hugs his father and crushes his back
Bane finds Batman and they fight
He hacks off both of Batman’s arms with his own axe
He bludgeons his head in and crushes it with a stone slab
He rebuilds Batman and surgically modifies and bioenhances him with venom- a mixture of acids, proteins, compounds, and cytokines
He finds Bruce’s friends Harvey Dent, Ozzie Cobblepot, & Eddie Nigma. He plans to break them
It turns out Bane’s mutilations on Batman did not happen but the injections of venom did
In the sewers Waylon asks Batman to mercy kill him to which he refuses because he can’t do it
Bruce makes it home after he’d been missing for months where his mom slaps him out of being worried
Bruce finds out from her that Ozzie has been hospitalized because Bane broke almost every bone in his body. He’s now 2ft shorter
Bruce finds out that Harvey is in the next room
Bane burned off half of Harvey’s face and received 3rd and 4th degree burns
Bruce checks on Eddie Nigma whose brain is exposed and has wires connected from his brain to his back. His eyes have also been gouged out
Eddie Nigma now questions everything and thinks in riddles
Batman and Catwoman (his childhood friend and now girlfriend Selina Kyle) enlist the help of the Red Hood gang led by Harley Quinn to take down Ark M
Batman calls Bane out publicly to face him and tells the citizens that higher-ups are involved in illegal activities
Batman and Bane duke it out in a stadium where Bane is impaled with the Tumbler and his eye taken out but merely heals from both
He grows to a ridiculous building-sized height
Bane slams Batman side to side on the ground by grabbing his cape
Waylon “Croc” Jones is released to help Batman
Batman saves Croc from being split open at the jaws by slicing down Bane’s back with his axe
Bane continues to grow and violently pummels Batman repeatedly into the floor
Bane tells Batman to use his venom
Batman tells Catwoman to do it and shoot him with injections but she shoots Bane instead with several more that his body can’t take it and blows up
Revealed that Eddie extracted all the venom out of Bruce
Batman disposes of Bane’s remains
Selina keeps a big vial of venom, Bane is still alive as a brain and spine, and Joker bombs the island of Santa Prisca so Bane can fully focus
