ISTR comics with Bane with his mask off, and he was white.
I feel like he's of Russian descent, although that might not be true.
t edit x-post with Plei, who comes through with the info!
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

His tattoos from Bronson remind them of Bombshell Mcgee?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am unutterably pissed at people who say that Hispanic != white, and the idea that Bane can't be played by a white guy because he was born in a Latin country strikes me as wanting a reason to be upset at Hollywood. There are plenty of good reasons. Choose your battles.
Also, travel more, or at least look at pictures. There's no picture of Bane I've seen that Hardy can't pull off, unless you're talking insane bulk. But that's comics for you.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yeah, there was this whole period in Gotham Knights where Bane thought that Thomas Wayne was his father, and it got pretty absurd. So it stuck in my mind and I knew Wikipedia or one of the other sites would have a write up.

If that site reflects anything like IO9 does, River will win. She apparently trumps all.

She's winning so far, but they're pretty neck & neck. I...can't bring myself to get worked up about it either way.

I love the degree of insanity that Joss has frothed up when it comes to Browncoats, and I love how much people hate that.
It's win win for me.
However, I think one-on-one I'd give the edge to River, just because she's designed that way. Team on team, I'd give the edge to Buffy, because team is her strength.
Question is, can they both beat an integrated Echo?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I give the edge to River on account of I think she has something like spider-sense. Does integrated Echo have psychic powers?
