How to unlock the Baneful Payback achievement in Batman: Arkham Asylum - Definitive Guide
Defeat Bane
You'll fight Bane after you save Gordon from Harley.
Fighting Bane will be similar to fighting the Venom Henchman earlier in the game. With Bane, you need to watch out for the rocks he throws as well as the fact that he is a little faster.
When Bane starts to charge you, throw some Batarangs at his face (I was using Double Batarangs at this point) and then dodge out of his way. Make sure when he hits the wall, he turns around and starts to rub his eyes. As long as he does this, run in and knock him around a little.
After you hit him enough times to tear one of his three hoses, the Joker will send in some henchmen to help Bane out. While getting rid of them, remain as aware as possible of where and what Bane is doing. Once the henchmen are gone, wait for Bane to charge, stun him, punch him around.
After the second hose is torn out, you'll need to repeat the process one more time...then voila! Achievement.
Bane will charge at you and throw rocks at you. In order to avoid the ouch factor, you can throw batarangs at him to interrupt his charges. Also, at the end of the charges, he usually crashes into a wall, which seems to damage him, so you can damage him just by avoiding his charges. After you get the first third of his venom bar down, you can run in and attack him and rip the first hose off. This is the only time you *have* to melee with him - if you're patient you *can* take his health down with the batarangs, and it's good to avoid damage in this battle whenever possible.
At this point, Joker will send in some minions to help poor Bane out. If you are good at evading his attacks, you can fight the henchmen while he sets up one of his charges and dodge out at the last minute, letting him knock some (or all) of them down for you.
You have to repeat the process twice more for the achievement.
The best way to beat Bane on Hard difficulty is to throw a batarang at his face right when he comes out, then dodge his charge. While he is stunned punch him once or even twice if you can get away with it. When he throws a rock just dodge and get ready to throw the batarang again. When the henchmen come down let Bane run through them by dodging his rush and letting him knock them over. When there are 1 or 2 of them left standing, attack them and continue to fight Bane.Repeat this for the second wave of Henchmen. Next, go back to throwing your batarang then jumping out of the way run over to Bane and punch him one or 2 more times. Repeat until his health is low. When he starts swinging aimlessly continue punching him until you jump on his back for the final time.
This will allow you to defeat him on Hard difficulty in about 10 minutes or so. Hope this helps!
Now Joker will send goons, but that won't stop Bane from charging or throwing stuff. So what you want to do is ignore the goons and Bane. Just keep double tapping and use the to evade the goons and Bane. You keep doing this and the goons can't hurt you and neither can Bane, but Bane will be throwing rocks hitting goons and running them over.
Once they are down for good, repeat the batarang throwing when Bane charges. If you only have one goon left, you may need to fight a little bit, but it is much easier to do this when three others are down for the count. After you drain the second pip, go in and beat him to remove the hoses.
Then more goons, more dodging, more Bane taking them out, then more batarang.
Sometimes Bane will juice himself up but that is OK, just keep doing this method.
This method takes some time but is fairly easy. I've only done it on Hard.
This is a story related achievement and cannot be missed.
Bane can be a little tricky on the harder difficulty's. While fighting him make sure you tap the to throw a Batarang and pressing twice to evade his running attacks. Once Jokers men start to drop down and cause your grief make sure to use Bane as an advantage. Once he starts to charge at you get him to knock over the other enemies leaving you with a clear shot.

Treat Bane like the first Joker Titan you faced. When he charges at you, just throw a Batarang with and quickly dodge left or right while pressing x2 and a direction to avoid his attack. After running into the wall, he will become stunned and you can beat upon him ferociously and rip out his Venom tubes. Just repeat this pattern until finally defeating him and earning the trophy.
