Notes
- Bane was created by Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench and Graham Nolan where he made his first appearance in Batman: Vengeance of Bane v1 #1 (January, 1993).
- Artist Graham Nolan in [www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/liveonline/03/regular/style/comics/r_style_comics051603.htm The Washington Post] commented on the characters creation, "Actually, Chuck Dixon came up the idea for an evil "Doc Savage" and I designed the character."
- Writer Chuck Dixon said in an interview that, "Since I was so skeptical about our success, Denny assigned me to come up with the origin of this character, who we were calling Doc Toxic at the time, and write an extra-length special for me. I think Denny was relying on my obsessive approach to this stuff. He knew I’d sweat it. The name “Bane” popped out at me while looking through a thesaurus to compile a list of possible names. That’s the name I kept coming back to when I thought of him and I eventually brought everyone else around to calling him that."
