Cut to Batman. The guy who is always 11 steps ahead of everyone. Surely he’ll do some research on Bane. And there must be some info out there. Because Tommy Carcetti seems to know at least a little about Bane. So Bats goes down to Bame’s lair, goes toe to toe with this monster that obviously doesn’t feel pain, and gets his back broken. Not once did he ever attempt to do something about that obviously beneficial mask. If (goes to IMDB) Aberama Gold knows womething is up with that mask, surely the world’s greatest detective should too. I maintain he was kinda dumb in the Dark Knight Rises. In the first scene of the movie, Littlefonger asks Bane if removing mask would hurt. A perdectly logical question. The mask is very unusual. He clearly had heard of Bans and knew he was very dangerous. And Bane tells him that removal of his mask would be very painful.Cut to Batman. The guy who is always 11 steps ahead of everyone.

Rewatching the fight, Batman did seem to be trying to punch and hit Bane in the face, and he is shrugging most of it off. Bane was kind of toying with him up until Batman seems to be maybe grabbing Bane's face, which is when Bane lays him out. I can't tell if he was trying to pull Bane's mask off, but it did at least look like he was attempting to grapple him there when Bane smacked him down.



I'm more puzzled about him not bringing more weaponry with him when he went to face Bane. He had that gas bomb thing that Bane just completely no sold, and the device to turn the lights off, but didn't bring so much as a single batarang. Kinda odd.



As for the question in the OP, he's sometimes written to be paranoid to the point of making things far more difficult than they need to be, or bumbling to try to make another character look brilliant through the use of bad writing, but I can't think of many times he's been outright idiotic. Maybe Batman Odyssey, particularly him outlining his first outing where he was completely unprepared.

Still kinda try’s calling Aidan Gillen by different character names bit, though.
