Clearly, this should have been posted over on the English Novels thread.

This is a travesty. Bane is no more an iconic member of the Batman Canon than Warren G. Harding was an interesting or useful president. Every story the character has ever appeared in has been utter garbage, and this will be no exception.
Even Christopher Nolan’s directorial talents cannot save Bane from being the most useless villain ever to grace Batman’s rogues gallery. He enjoys similar popularity to Venom and Carnage, two characters from the Spider-Man canon that also never should have been created.
Characters require depth. Bane has none. I would rather have Professor Hugo Strange, The Mad Hatter, Penguin, Anarky, Doctor Phosphorous, Mr. Freeze, The Ventriloquist, The Tally Man (Yeah, that’s right, the Tally Man is a better villain than Bane.), or even Doctor Tzin Tzin or Cosmo “Skull” Dugger.
I’ve been reading comics a long time. Nolan has dropped the ball.
