Expanded Universe

Bane's size described, for you, by a policeman shortly after his introduction at Gotham City.

Of all the characters involved with the Plane Scene, Bane makes the most appearances in the Post-Credit Scenes. These include multiple confrontations, occasionally violent, with an unknown man wearing a bat suit. The identity and purpose of this man is unknown, with multiple theories claiming him to be an easter egg, overly subtle product placement or an intentionally mysterious character set up for a sequel.

After Bravo Nolan's Plane Scene was released to critical and commercial acclaim, entertainment corporation DC Comics released a host of media and merchandise centered around two newly created characters named 'Bane' and 'Batman'. The DC Comics character Bane featured a mask and appeared to be a big guy like Nolan's Bane, while the character 'Batman' wore a suit similar to the mysterious man in the Plane Scene post-credits cutscene. DC Comics have so far declined to comment on speculation of plagiarism, but it is widely believed to be an attempt to capitalize on the success of Nolan's film.
