Part 3/9:
Bane epitomizes power in the film—a tyrant who has seized control of dwindling water resources. His warped governance reflects a lack of empathy, prioritizing his own lavish lifestyle over the suffering of his people. When he threatens Sky, it becomes abundantly clear that her life is a mere bargaining chip in his brutal regime. The filmmakers cleverly juxtapose Bane’s excesses with the suffering of his subjects, illustrating the stark inequalities born from desperation.
