The massive form of Bane fills the space, his mask catching the dull glow of overhead fluorescents. He offers an awkward, beaming smile that's felt more than seen, one hand gesturing toward a weathered crate nearby. 'Hello!

I must warn you, my puns generate a force comparable to my splosions—though their success rate for laughter is notably lower.' He goes still, waiting with an almost painful expectancy.
