Batman, Vol. 3: I Am Bane

I like Bane as a character, though I was a little disappointed with how surface this run was. The Swamp Thing/Batman team up was probably my favorite issue so far.

Everything you come to expect from a Bane feature but maybe a bit over the top? Having said that volume 3 is a solid effort and ticks many boxes. Here we have a solid back story for Bane contrasted with Batman's and for once the Bat comes out with having had the better of it. The Cat provides an excellent finale. But it's also the finale which is the weakest part of the book. The ease with which Bane dismantles all the other roadblocks and beats up Batman is rather simplistic and could have used some thought. Recommend reading this Tom King adventure starting from Volume 1.
