Bane- Death; Destruction; Ruin

If you look at the dictionary meaning of "Bane", it says words like Death, Destruction, and Ruin. This is what Bane does in "The Dark Knight Rises".

Bane was  born and raised in hell (not literally). His physique says a lot about his personality. If you see the scene where he fights with Batman, he Kicks some real Ass. Obviously he is more powerful than the current Batman, and even he is quicker than him. But Bane must wear a breathing apparatus that feeds him with pain relieving gas due to an old injury.
Bane's actions show how fearless he is, how brutal he is. He gives a no-care attitude when there is Havoc in Gotham city. He is not human, at least his deeds do not depict so.
Well, if you must have read any comic, or have seen a movie, of Batman with Bane in it, you know that Bane doesn't come out to be the main Villain. Yes, he is a strong opponent. But there are strings attached to him, which are controlled by someone more cruel.
In this movie also, Bane is only playing the part he is told to do. In the end, he is this huge Gorilla dancing to the tunes of this revengeful minded Girl.
