Bane of all villains?!?

This fun bit of speculation popped up everywhere online almost the minute that Wonder Woman was released. If we believe the rumors, we might have seen a nod to supervillain Bane in Wonder Woman.

It was all connected to Dr. Maru’s creation (with Ares’ help) of the formula that gave General Ludendorff his superhuman powers, which included increased strength, faster reflexes, and increased aggression. As we know, Diana killed Ludendorff, even with these enhancements. The lab in which the formula was created was destroyed, but Wonder Woman spared Dr. Maru.

Was this a hint? Was Bane’s Venom based on Dr. Maru’s concoction? This is a pretty interesting theory, although we doubt that there’s any truth to it.

Nonetheless, what do you think happened with Dr. Maru?
