Guest DeoJusto Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 *Spoilers (sort of, nothing crucial. It's been out for weeks at this point, so whatever.) “How’s your ankle?†“Healed.†M pours steaming earl grey into her cup. James doesn’t ask for any, and M doesn’t offer. “Yes,†she replies, “You seem to make a habit of walking back long after you should have never gotten back up.†“You seem disappointed.†M tips the cup and drinks silently. She presses a manilla folder across her desk with her free hand. James opens the folder. To an untrained eye the photos on the first page show nothing more than a mix of twisted steel, a deluge of glass, and a scar of burned earth. James scans every inch of the evidence. “A plane crash.†“Yes,†M says, “just over the Kazakstan border. A C.I.A. black flight was shot down by an unconfirmed terrorist group. It may be related to Quantum, but everything is still murky and the Americans aren't being very helpful. We have a single suspect…well a name at least. The crash killed a Russian physicist the CIA had interred after he figured out how to turn a nuclear reactor into a time bomb.†“I’m sure the world will surely mourn his passing…†“It might, if he had actually died.†M lowers her cup. “The Americans have declared him dead. The whole event is little more than a embarrassment for them, but I still have my reservations.†“You want me to find this scientist and get him to explain what he’s planning?†“No. The scientist is innocent, he’s little more than a pawn. I want you to take down the King Piece, I want you to put a face to the name…Bane.†“Bane,†James repeats, “a tad theatrical.†“Exactly why I figured you would be the man for the job. We have only two leads, neither of which are very concrete. The first is an American energy project that may be related to the physicist’s work. It's a Wayne Enterprises joint venture. If the Russian’s work is a part of this, it would be the prime target.†"And the other lead?" "A known associate of Bane's. A local character of note, a burglar by the name of Selina Kyle." Bond skims to the last page of the report and sees her mugshot. He grins. "Well, I'll certainly have to follow up with her... Where exactly am I off to?†M grins back. “Gotham.†“Gotham… forgive me if I’m wrong, but don’t they have they’re own, ‘professional’ who handles these sort of things.†“Perhaps, but I would rather not leave matters of global security to a lone, unstable, sociopath who leaves broken bodies everywhere he goes. "No, we wouldn't want that." M nods, "Besides,†She slides the Walther PPK across the table. Bond lifts it, pulls the slide and levels it instantly, yet casually. M picks her tea back up. “I would imagine you might be able to find solutions he wouldn’t…†-----------------------------------It’s DKR but with post Quantum of Solace Bond. He has a lead in Wayne enterprises’ energy project. Despite the comment about the ankle, he is in full health. Bane is Bane, but with a scarier accent, because dammit he’s a Bond villain now, and that sh*t just won’t cut it any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deojusto Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 For the sake of Devil's Advocacy against what I expect to be a pro-bat crowd, I'm going for Bond. You can argue that Nolan's Batman is more martially trained, and arguably he is, but Bond has guns, a license to kill, and doesn't start the movie off as a cripple. Those all work in his favor over Bruce, and he doesn't need to be better than him, only good enough to stop Bane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bigballerju Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I agree I am going with Bond here. Bond is fast, ruthless when he needs to be, skilled enough to hang with Bane in a fight and has more experience then Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deojusto Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Huh you guys are all going against my predictions, time to switch sides... How Bond could lose. Lets follow his likely course of actions throughout the film. He arrives in Gotham and decides to spy on Wayne Ent's energy project. Lets say that goes ok. Then he tracks down Catwoman. They meet, he does his Bond thing, and then they get down to business. He agrees to get the British government to declare her dead and give her a new identity. She helps him sneak into Bane's hideout. They kill them some guards, he walks across that catwalk thing, annnnd ITS A TRAP. She sold him out to Bane but did so even quicker because she doesn't like him the way she respects the bat. He goes for his gun and Oh NO! She pickpocketed him and his gun falls down into the abyss. He tries to take on Bane in a fist fight and gets beaten down like the redheaded stepchild of a rented mule. From this point he is either quickly killed by Bane, (because Bane doesn't care if he lives to see Gotham die), or he jumps into the sewer water like Gordon did and manages to escape. On the other hand, if he got involved with the motorcycle chase it might have ended diferently, the cops wouldn't have given up trying to catch Bane, but I'd bet Bane probably had an escape plan for that that he never had to use. On the other other hand, which is now sprouting from my chest like a mutated ligament, his investigation at Wayne Ent might have him run into Talia. He does his Bond thing, and she betrays him. Still that happens to Bond a lot, so he'd probably be ready for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigballerju Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Bond is more experienced then Bruce he is not going to let Catwoman lead him into a trap. Bond would get the information out of Catwoman on Bane's whereabouts and movements after lying to her about having her past erased. Bond wouldn't let Catwoman lead her to Bane and he has shown to be too smart to be pickpocketed. Bond being better trained and skilled would rather find the place himself with Catwoman's information. Plus Bond would want to do his own planning to take out Bane. From there Bond more then likely will put down Catwoman revealing he lied about having her past erased and make sure she doesn't get in his way. Bond has been highly trained so he knows better to let himself get lead into a trap with a person M already warned him was a associate of Bane's. Bond won't rush in all gung ho into any situation. Bond once he has Bane's whereabouts and movements will just wait until the next time Bane reveals himself in Gotham. Then he takes Bane out from a distance with his sniper. Even if Bond has to confront Bane he is not stupid. The moment he see's Bane's mask Bond's first punch will be straight to that mask. Once that happens Bane is royally screwed as we all knows. Either way Bane loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Man Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 What? Seriously? Nobody wants to root for Bane? I mean, his one weakness, his awful voice, is no more! He's got himself some James Earl Jones mixed with Ivan Drago voice now. You can't dismiss him so easily. First of all, the only way Bond is getting to Bane, is via Catwoman. You think Bond is going to notice the hobo besides the sewer thing? Nah. Bond plays the rich handsome guy and naturally has his way with the wealthy Gotham women. One of them turns out to be Talia. Talia realizes Bond is trouble, and alerts Bane. When Bond hooks up with Catwoman, Bane already knows about him. Except, Bane has no need to test Bond the way he wanted to fight Batman. He just shows up and beats Bond's face in. Anne Hathaway watches and says something about poor people getting revenge or something. But seriously, Bane is not getting sniped. Bane ftw. An A from me. Well done Deo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.T. Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Let's ignore the one on one confrontation. Bond has a PPK with let's say...10 extra clips of ammo. Bane has...an army with various machine guns, shotguns, snipers, and pistols. The exact number of men is unknown....but he clearly has enough to engage 3,000 police officers in open warfare. Not the best odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As evidenced by Gordon, finding his base doesn't require a lead to Catwoman. Once he finds it, he kills everyone, because he's James Bond goddamnit, and blows the shit skyhigh. Also, props to whoever came up with that battle picture of Bane, it looks pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly is Bane's base easy to find? Gordon didn't really find the base, he stumbled around somewhere near the base and was dragged into it. He was lucky and his captors were very stupid. The only reason Gordon got there was because he happened to be chasing the guys from the senators kidnapping. Bond wouldn't have been there, he'd have to just randomly decide, "Hmmmmm, if I were a bad guy.... Sewers, definitely sewers." But yes to your first point. Bane does have an army of guys with lots of guns, but shooting off an army of guys with guns is basically Bond's job title. Bane isn't any more well armed then SPECTRE or Dr. No, or all the other people Bond fights. In Goldeneye he drives a tank through red square, I could see him blasting through Gotham in a Tumbler.

Xenerack5 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 When Bond finds Catwoman she will fall for his charms as it is impossible not to but even if they get it on I doubht she will give him information post coitas and will either slip away or try to kill him so he wont interfeare with Bane's plan. If it is the latter Bond will over power her and she will either escape, he kills her in the struggle or he interogates her. It doesn't matter because by then Batman has tracked her down and finds Bond. The two form an alliance to hunt down Bane and defeat him without either being broken in the process. But somewhere along the line, perhaps when fighting Bane, Bond feels he has to go for the kill. This leads to the inevitable clash between the two heroes. Just how I see this playing out assuming Batman is still a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLEGACYx Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I completely agree with Marvel Man. Bane has to many resources and I just dont get where Bond has more experience than Batman here. Batman had around 10 to 12 years experience in Gotham at this time, dealing with wackos and criminals. Bond has never been to Gotham and never faced people to this degree.

Mercenaryblade Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm going for Bond as well, he may not be as good as Batman but he's good enough to take on Bane and his mercs and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigballerju Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 This is movie Batman from Nolan's films. He only has a year of experience as Batman if you look at how long he was Batman in those films. Dark Knight keep in mind takes place right after the events in Batman Begins. So all of that was a couple of months and then you add in the fact right after the events in Dark Knight he stopped being Batman. He was gone for 8 years then came back and in the start of the Dark Knight Rises movie we only saw him Batman for a 2 or 3 days before Bane broke his back or injuried it. Then Batman comes back towards the end of the middle to the end after escaping the pit and saves the day. All of that experience as Batman is probably like a year of experience or a little more as Batman if you pay attention to the timeline of him as Batman.

Also despite that, Batman still has his eight years of training from his pre-Batman years, which do count as experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickthekid Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Shockingly, I would have given the pre-CAsino Royale Bond a better chance at this than the current one. At least he would have had some secret gadget that could help him out against Bane when he is backstabbed. Plus, he's handled villains comparable to that of Batman (minus the Joker). This one doesn't have what it takes. And afterwhich Bond ends up *spoilers*In Prison with no hope of getting out *endspoilers* His best bet would be to gain enough sympathy with Catwoman, but I really doubt that.
