Bane only had one episode per run. In TAS he functioned as an assassin hired by Thorne to kill Batman and a few elements of Knightfall were roughly adapted to the screen. I don't care much for this version because the accent was over the top and he was literally wearing a wrestling getup, to this version's credit he was displayed with a degree of cunning and intellect. In TNBA he technically only appeared within a Scarecrow hallucination as Gordon's partner and now donned what I call "gimp Bane!" Still voiced by Henry Silva but with a much less cartoony accent (seriously the TAS accent was too damn much) this Bane had a more active fight with Batman and while there was really no time to take stock of his intelligence he was more well spoken and had a very nice evil side. Between the two I honestly prefer the latter version because neither costume was ideal but the second one had a better fight and just generally a better episode. Bane's TNBA design would be used for the Batwoman animated movie and here he had a different (IMO not as good) voice actor but the fight was still okay.
