Bane wore the mask for pain caused by the plague that was spreading through the prison, right? That is why his face hole was all bloody when he was rescued?

Oh. Maybe. I thought it was from the massive beat down he took helping Talia escape.

I need to see it again.

That was my interpretation.

I thought the doctor said that it was from the beatdown he took, but I could be wrong.

If it was from the beatdown then why does Bane need the medication mask? You heal from getting beat up.

I dunno. I usually try to avoid getting my ass beat.

Good point.

Maybe it's a combination of both? The infection caused by the plague or whatever was made worse because of the wounds he suffered? I don't know.

I thought the beat down was so bad that it permanently damaged his respiratory system. And the doctor tried to repair what he could, but much like Joker in Burton's Batman, the operations couldn't really repair anything/ just made shit worse.

Is the mask medicinal? Or is it just kinda like a super advanced respirator?

I thought it was supplying painkiller medication to him.

I should really see this movie again.

You and me both.

Actually, it took my 20th viewing to notice that loophole. When Batman is in the prison, his helper/warden is telling him how a child escaped, and how we assume that child is Bane. In the same scene, I believe, he mentions that Bane was beaten by the prisoners and how the mask "controls the pain". Well, if supposedly we are led to believe a child escaped, and the child is Bane... how the **** did the adult Bane get beaten by prisoners to the point of needing a pain-controlling mask?

As for Bane being dispatched quickly, I also felt that to be a bit cheap. He'd been built up all through the film as this combination of cerebral anarchy/socialism and physical power. And as soon as Talia reveals herself as the child, Catwoman blows Bane literally out of the film with the Batcycle's guns. Seems like a rude and unfitting end to a guy who was built up all film as "the baddie".

The thing I hated was how easily Bane was ultimately taken out. Catwoman showing up at just the right time to obliterate him. Drove me nuts seeing Batman win because somebody else killed his opponent. They should have had Batman win that battle on his own. That was disappointing.

EDIT

That is what made Begins so satisfying for me. It was a great ending in the way he took out Ras

The child they say escaped was Talia, not Bane. We just don't know it at that point.

He was speaking to the point that everyone thought it was Bane. If we would have paid attention, we should have realized that Bane couldn't have been the child.

This was also my only beef with the movie. Everything else was awesome but Bane was there one second and gone the next. Their final fight could have been much more epic.

Maybe I'm just too easy going. I didn't have a problem with any of that. Bane and Batman had just had a great fight and Batman had taken him down. Bane was only saved by Talia. I thought that was a great moment when Batman turned the fight in his favor and started knocking Bane around.

Plus, his faith in Selina Kyle paid off. That was important, especially after his trust in Miranda Tate had just been destroyed. When it reached the brink, we found out who everyone really was.
