I have a very close friend in Los Angeles named Mario who recently wrote a cannon event for one of Batman’s nemesis, Bane. In the comics, Bane is known to be half Cuban, but in Mario’s version he is full Cuban and the story starts with him in his mother as prisoners of war in an American run prison called Pena Dura after the Cuban Revolution. Mario is also of Hispanic descent and much of his script is very much influenced by his cultural background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pena Dura is similar to the pit in “The Dark Knight Rises” but the difference is that rather than being a large hole in the ground it is a remote island with a large mountain. The prison is built inside of the mountain and it’s entrance where all of the admin resides is at the top. The time period of the setting is modern but the prison itself is dilapidated and decayed from decades of terrible maintenance and horrible treatment of prisoners. The only light that comes into the prison is the sunlight from above however there is nothing to shield the inside from severe weather conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prison is divided into 4 wings which are labeled A, B, C, and D. A wing sits along a dining hall called “Mess Hall” which is where prisoners eat their meals and also start fights. Mess hall also sits alongside the Armory where the prison admin keeps its most deadly weapons and chemicals that it tests on it’s prisoners. As you approach the exit of Mess Hall you enter the Main Hall that serves as the intersection between all of the wings. There is a spot on the lower right hand of the Main Hall called “The Hole” that serves as solitary confinement. This is where El Nino gets thrown into for 15 years and eventually becomes Bane or as the story calls him, “El Animal”. The prison itself is surrounded by cliffsides where guards throw bodies of those who have not survived the harsh conditions of Pena Dura. At the very back of the C wing is the control room. This area controls and surveys all parts of the prison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this cannon Bane starts off as a child known as “El Nino” and watches his mother die in front of him in their prison cell. He also watches in horror as the guards throw his mother’s body off of the cliffside and then proceed to move him to a cell where he is harassed by members of a prison gang until one day he kills their leader. From there, El Nino is transferred to solitary confinement for 15 years, where he turns into El Animal. When the guards finally release him and transfer him to a cell in B wing, El Animal does not look like his former self at all. He is huge, completely jacked, and looks extremely threatening. Once he is transferred back into the main facility he starts a routine of prison workouts, meditation, and reading which he strictly follows for weeks. In the dining hall, Bane sees a young prisoner being harassed by gang members for money that he owes for drug use and challenges their leader to a fight to the death to settle the debt and safe the young prisoner’s life. Bane kills the leader during the fight and then proceeds to take on 15 gang members at once until he is taken by the guards and once again put into the hole. Moments later the guards take him to lab in the faculty area where they test Wayne Tech’s newest chemical on him, V3-NMC, which is said to turn ordinary people into violent soldiers with no empathy. Bane supposedly dies after they test the chemical on him and the guards throw his body off of the cliff. As he falls, he suddenly awakens, climbs back into the faculty area, takes the warden hostage, and proceeds to wreak havoc, death, and destruction, on Pena Dura, its guards, and makes the Warden regret all of his life choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be making my level based on the last events of the script where Bane destroys Pena Dura. I hope to include a combat system that will be similar to the Arkham games but will probably not be as in depth due to the limited time of the course. The level will start with Bane climbing back up the mountain and taking the Warden hostage as he uses him to get into all of the key parts of the facility. The inside of Pena Dura will be dark, ominous, and a lonely, much similar to that of Arkham Asylum’s environment. It will be a mix of comic book style mixed with some photo realism. Once Bane enters the facility he will proceed to destroy everyone and everything in sight. The main objective of the level will be very simple. DESTROY EVERYTHING. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mario and I have a friendship that is fueled by our cultural backgrounds, dealings with racism, hatred for capitalism and imperialism, and our love for justice and activism. We were both in a Punk Rap group many years ago in which we wrote anti imperial music. This is our first narrative influenced collaboration and his first time having a concept he wrote turned into a game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
