This extreme redesign is perfect material for:

The comic hits stores on June 11th, giving fans and artists plenty of material to be inspired by... or to wonder what they were smoking at DC.

And remember: if your 3D model of this new Bane makes your software crash, it's not a bug... it's artistic realism. 😅
