Bane is an assassin for hire who uses a compound called Venom to become super strong. He often is bested by Batman. Bane was one of the new villains drawn into Control Freak's conflict with the Teen Titans during a staged Island Adventure stunt. Bane plotted to blow up Jump City's sports stadium during the fourth quarter of a football game between Gotham City and Jump City. He walked through the seating with a crate of TNT and noticed Alfred Pennyworth in the Batmobile looking around from the field. Bane tapped Commissioner Gordon's shoulder and informed them of the butler. He went on his way as Batman and Gordon fled the stadium. One day, Penguin and Bane lifted weights in the Arkham Asylum outdoor recreation yard. Raven teleported herself, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire through a portal underneath the weight bench used by them.
They believed they were helping Robin earn his last Bat Scouts badge by having to catch criminals and satisfying their interest in fighting Batman's enemies by releasing several from Arkham. Bane and Penguin shoved a car around. Raven faked Bane out and made him look then propelled him into a light pole with a gush of water from a fire hydrant. Raven teleported them all back to Arkham. During an Easter egg hunt to solve Robin's unfinished one, many villains were carelessly released so the Titans could search the Arkham Asylum cell for clues. Bane was one let out. Bane was spared from the Eebows' rewriting of reality. While punishing the Teen Titans for their crimes against Eebows, Robin was bent over Bane's knee.
Bane was arrested and sent to Jump City Prison at some point. When the Titans infiltrated the prison one Christmas Eve to break Santa Claus out, they needed to demonstrate dominance so the supervillains wouldn't attack them. Robin chose Bane but he didn't want to fight. He gave Robin a welcome basket. Robin was touched by his thoughtfulness then yelled at him to get lost. Bane cried and ran away. In the mess hall, Robin and Santa provided a distraction to allow Beast Boy the chance to steal food and drinks from the kitchen. Bane repeated he didn't want any trouble. Robin slapped Bane's food tray in his face and pretended to be attacked by Bane while Santa alerted the two guards by the kitchen door. Bane revealed he only had one more day left on his sentence. The guards zapped him and announced he now had 100 years for fighting in the mess hall. As they dragged him away, Bane vowed he would break Robin. Santa escaped but double crossed the Titans and abandoned them at the prison. They were sent to D-Block. Bane was waiting in Robin's cell and beat him up.
