*MY TDKR FANFIC VERSION*
Since the core of Bane's character has always been about his self sufficient-machismo, make his origin STICK to what he did in the comics and even to what the character STATES early on in the film- he escapes his prison on his own merits. Take out the Talia-child escape twist and replace it with Bane deciding to watch over Ra's wife and Talia when they arrive at the pit- Bane was torn from his mother as a child to serve his father's sentence in the prison, much like Talia is here- he can sympathize with this, as well as want to keep them safe. Also, do away with that Predator-thong and give Bane his classic comics mask. No need for the BDSM Darth Vader. And if you need to stick with Nolan's mundane ultra-realistic schtick, the need for Venom isn't crucial. He's been without it for a long time in the comics. Make him a mammoth beast of a man- good genetics, why not- it didn't stop Rob Zombie with his ridiculous Juggernaut-sized (talking) Michael Myers. Talia and her mother are ganged-up on by the men. Bane sees this and stops the prisoners, killing injuring or even killing them with his bare hands until they desist. He fails to save the mother, but cradles an injured Talia. He looks up at the top of the pit, and with a rush of emotion from a want to save Talia, ties her to his back in a Yoda bundle, and manages to escape the prison himself- then later is approached or found by Ra's or League minions, and is allowed to join the League. THIS WOULD SERVE AS A MIRROR FOR WHEN BRUCE WAYNE DOES IT LATER, since oh, I don't know- Bane's played through the film to be Batman's complete utilitarian uncompromising brutal dark half. The way the film is, with Talia being the child, throws the film off completely and ruins the ending, making it feel like a twist for the hell of it in a typical Nolan "I'm so fucking clever" stunt.
