My complaint isn't solely that they inserted Bane, it's that he was portrayed as a dullard strictly interested in money for drugs. Overall I'm fine with different media tweaking elements compared to their source material but some of the recent DC animated movies have really rubbed me the wrong way because they're named after a specific comic story but they heavily omit key points. I think an easy example is the Judas Contract, the comic explored Deathstroke's origin in detail and his motivations got pretty personal while in the movie all he's really avenging is his pride and he's just kind of there as a cardboard villain. I feel like if they ever do the Long Halloween (but not a literal adaptation like TDKR) it wouldn't be entirely surprising if they just kicked Two-Face out of the story because his presence wouldn't fit with their running continuity.

I'm probably being too grouchy, at the end of the day it's still entertainment.
