Face-off debate: The Dark Knight Rise’s Bane vs. Game of Thrones’ The Mountain
One is a South American prison escapee determined to destroy Gotham’s dark knight. One is half-dead medieval guard willing to protect her queen at any cost. Both strike widespread fear due to their sheer strength, immense size, and ruthless nature. Who are they?
