"City of Bane" is a maddening storyline in more ways than one, but the fact the titular villain has been all but completely MIA is definitely up there. For an arc that serves as the dramatic culmination of the entire series to date, "City of Bane" has been far too inconsistent in its pacing, its focus and its general quality. Finally, with Batman #82, readers are treated to the Bane/Batman showdown they've been waiting months to see. But with such a haphazard journey leading into this issue, it's no surprise the payoff isn't quite there.
This isn't the first time Bane and Batman have battled one another in this series, but only in hindsight do we realize that none of those previous fights were to be taken at face value. In those previous battles, one or the other was playing an angle, essentially sacrificing a battle for the sake of the larger war. Only now do the masks come off (literally and figuratively) and the two men set about proving once and for all who is truly worthy of ruling Gotham. And because artist Mikel Janin is drawing this issue, that calls for a shirtless slug-fest.
