Why would anybody want to work for Bane?


Working in the construction industry you get:
-nice regular income
-crime free environment (thank's to the Dent act)

Working for Bane you get:
Beaten up by the cops
Beaten up by Batman
Probability of being shot by the authorities
Certainty of being killed because your boss wants to blow up the city

Also if you mess up then your boss (Bane) will very likely kill you.

Look at his sweet mask, man, they've obviously got killer dental coverage.

and if you work construction you can say ayy chicky baby!

There have been multiple riots this year - I think there are MANY people in this world itching to do something like Bane does in this movie.

reply

Yep.

Not only that, a lot of people are attracted to the cult of personality, strong leader figures, and people with a serious sense of dedication to a cause.

There have been cults in the past where people committed mass suicide at the cult leader's behest. In this case, though, everyone working for Bane (directly) are convinced they're doing this for the right reasons. Everyone indirectly working for Bane are in it just for the money... just until they aren't in it anymore (i.e., Daggett and Catwoman).

Yesterday is just another example. Humans are scum.

reply

Nah, what happened on the 6th was organized.

Police let people into the Capitol building and even directed them to the chambers of Congress.

You can watch the video here:

YouTube is censoring and banning any account that shows the police being complicit in allowing the protestors onto the Capitol's property and into the building itself.

There's a few more videos where the police say "Go, go, go!" and wave the people to move through. You can hear the camera operator saying "Oh no. No!" because it was obvious what was about to happen.

Don't let the fake-stream media dictate your perception of reality.

Always seek the truth, even when it may not be clear where or how to attain it.

Excellent 401K plan.

Fanaticism.

reply

What part of "gang of psychopaths" do you not understand? They were fanatics, they didn't care about themselves, they cared about fulfilling Ra's al Ghul's destiny.

reply

who all these white American dudes who had no clue who Ra's was and were never involved?

reply

Do what?

reply

this "gang of psychopaths so fanatic they dont care about themselves only fulfilling al ghouls destiny."

a gang who didn't know ghoul just followed bane cause.. reasons

reply

They were brainwashed and fanaticized, that's the reason. Also how do you know they didn't know Ra's al Ghul, he had been dead less than a decade.

reply

ya how, when? by who?

because we have no indication of it.

its a film, we are supposed to see things.

reply

So you wanted a long, elaborate backstory on random LOS members 1-50? It was clearly established that the LOS were fanatics in the first six minutes when the thug volunteered to stay behind in the plane and die in the crash because they "expected one of us in the wreckage"

reply

or just anything. literally anything

reply

Don't know what else to tell you, I've given you all the proof you should need.

reply

In this film Bane was just hired help. The gang were followers of Talia.

reply

I'm now picturing Talia spending half the movie's time (whenever we don't see her, really) dealing with HR complaints from League of Shadows ninjas about Bane.
