This completely new redesign of Bane by Nick Dragotta seems to body-slam skyscrapers for cardiovascular exercise, with a body that screams "no pain, no Bane."

Batman comic book enthusiasts are buzzing with the serious redesign, which hints at a more vicious, relentless incarnation of the iconic villain. As Absolute Batman gets ready to rev its engine for high-octane thrills, it's clear that Bane isn't just back- he's bigger, uglier, and probably banned from every gym in the world for trashing the equipment.

As soon as the news came out someone took to his X account and commented:

"Looks lame and mid"

One of the users on X was not afraid to hold their tongue, providing a review harsher than the DCU supervillain's boot camp, with nothing more than the words, "Looks lame and mid." Forget fear gas or shots of venom - this one sentence alone could send the Bat crashing.

While a few fans are thrilled with the supervillain's steroid-buffed makeover, there are others out there dishing out roasts like they're Gotham's unofficial comic critics, once again proving that for every flex, there's always gonna be someone ready to toss shade. and a two-word takedown.

The moment the initial glimpse of Bane in the Absolute Batman comic was released, the fans descended upon it quicker than the Batmobile in rush hour traffic. Social media became Gotham's de facto debate club, with posts varying from sheer hype to sheer roast.

Whether fans were hailing the villain's new "gym boss" appearance or crying foul on it being a cosplay fail, the internet did what it does best - take a comic book reveal and turn it into a bonafide comedy crossover. Let's get into the fan reactions that had more punch than Bane's fists.
