Who was more evil? Bane or Ivan Korshunov from Air Force One?


Which of the two villains do you think was more evil?

reply

Bane.

reply

I agree. In what ways was he more evil than Korshunov?

reply

The amount of superpower Bane had. He could take punches like no other human.

reply

That makes him stronger. Not necessarily more evil. Other than that, in what ways was he more evil than Korshunov?

reply

He tried to bomb Gotham while using his sister to trick Batman. He also tried to bomb a football stadium.

reply

It wasn't his sister. It was his romantic interest. And he tried to actually wipe out Gotham of the map. Not just to bomb it. And he didn't just try to bomb a football stadium. He actually blew it up.

reply

I haven't seen it since it came out. I remember something about him growing up with Ken Watanabe and they were both his children. I don't remember him blowing up the football stadium because I figured that would be 80,000 lives right there. Either way, he was a bad guy.

reply

Korshunov. In this film (unlike the comics) Bane was just a stooge doing the bidding of Talia.
Although nowhere near as bad the Muppet-like caricature in Batman Forever.

reply

Wrong, Bane was not just Talia's stooge, he was just as involved as she was in both the planning and execution. He wanted to destroy Gotham just as much as she did.

reply

Totally agree. So was he more evil than Ivan Korshunov from Air Force One? I mean Korshunov wasn't planning on wiping out an entire city.

reply

Bane , although in all fairness he was at least “necessary evil”

reply

In what ways was he "necessary evil"? Also maybe Korshunov was also "necessary evil"

reply

Daggett: "You're pure evil"
Bane: "I'm necessary evil"
