Synopsis:

Confined in Blackgate, Bane realises that he has many friends there due to him taking down Batman some time beforehand. He works with fellow inmates Ratcatcher, KGBeast and Elmo Galvan - who can only move when pumped full of electricity - to effect his escape from Blackgate and gets on the trail of a drugs ring supplying Venom. Not, however, in order to secure a supply of the steroid, but rather to put the ring out of action. In the process, he briefly confronts Batman, but a rematch between the two men does not take place.
