I always found it hilarious that Bane acts like he's hot shit, when he wore Batman down to a nub over two weeks fighting every crook in Gotham, plus a gauntlet of his own guys after... Firefly, I think? Yet Bruce still put up a marginal fight after all that.

Bane's Earth-3 counterpart is Santa Prisca's most popular baker. He learned all he knows about baking through logical deduction and imagination, creating treats beloved throughout the island.
He never encounters Owlman because he's a baker. And has no reason to ever leave his village.

Oh yeah, absolutely. The only way to beat Batman is to completely exhaust and then cripple him. Jean Paul Valley got his ass kicked when Bane got his rematch, but Bruce fought Bane to a draw in a fair sparing match.
