Tom King's Batman run is, among many other things, a master class in how to use Bane as a proper villain. King is clearly a believer in the "less is more" approach. Two issues into "I Am Bane," readers still barely catch a glimpse of the villain as he executes his revenge on the Batman family. As in any good horror story, that's really the ideal way to handle a villain. Bane may be more physically imposing than ever under David Finch's hand, but he'll always be more scary as a lurking, unseen threat rather than a brute who charges directly into battle.
Issue #16 worked to break up the mounting suspense with a heavy dose of comedy, but issue #17 is all business. The drama steadily builds as Batman prepares for the big showdown with Bane, all while Bane's agents target those who Batman hasn't already taken out of harm's way. It's pretty neat having Bane's old crew - Byrd, Trogg and Zombie - back in play after so many years. This also helps put a face to the threat Batman faces, as bane himself remains uncharacteristically shy. But again, that only serves to make his brief appearances that much more effective.
