One of The Batman’s scenes has fans convinced that Matt Reeves tossed in a nod to Bane. Spoilers ahead for the massive DC Comics movie In the middle of the third act, Batman takes a shotgun blast from close range. That attack leaves him vulnerable and dangling from the rafters. Luckily, Catwoman is there to swoop in for the save. But, when she gets put into danger by a goon sneaking up behind her, Batman has to get back into the game. He elects to inject a green substance into himself, which heightens his heart rate and increases his rage-filled attacks against the group of villains. To a lot of Batman fans, that sounds like Venom serum. For those who might not know, the green liquid is what gives Bane his steroid-like strength and musculature. Seeing Bruce Wayne having access to that kind of chemical so early in his career begs a lot of questions. It’s just one of the ways Reeves manages to paint in the edges of this version of Gotham.
