I removed the Bane example\\\'\\\'\\\'s\\\'\\\'\\\'. Yes, there\\\'s a reason why the \\\"s\\\" is emphasized. This Trope implies that \\\'\\\'one\\\'\\\' adaptation has colored an element (i.e. a character) beyond further alteration. Granted, the two examples in question are contemporary between each other.

* \\\'\\\'Film/BatmanAndRobin\\\'\\\', if it didn\\\'t cripple Bane as a character in comics, at least gave him recurrent back pain. While he still shows up as the intelligent, driven character who\\\'s been the subject of much CharacterDevelopment since his first appearance, this doesn\\\'t stop some writers from using him as silent DumbMuscle when they need a body to throw at a character.
** Again averted... Bane \\\'\\\'also\\\'\\\' appears in \\\'\\\'Film/TheDarkKnightRises\\\'\\\', played by Tom Hardy. It seems ChristopherNolan has made it his mission to prove the legitimacy of the original creations, no matter how previous adaptations have handled them.
*** [[spoiler: Only partially averted, since Bane DOES have a painful, debilitating injury, and as a result has to be fed painkillers constantly.]]
----
* Despite being held as the patron saint of AdaptationDistillation, \\\'\\\'BatmanTheAnimatedSeries\\\'\\\' has also has also negatively colored Bane\\\'s other adaptations. In the comics, Bane is a GeniusBruiser who knew Bruce Wayne was Batman, was a \\\'\\\'huge\\\'\\\' guy with formidable strength even without the drug [[SuperSerum Venom]], who could still keep going when the feed was cut, and ultimately kicked the habit of using Venom. \\\'\\\'[=B:TAS=]\\\'\\\' made him a hired thug who shrinks after he\\\'s deprived of venom, didn\\\'t know who Batman was, and was still hooked in his later appearances. Despite the circumstances for his defeat (he nearly [=OD\\\'d=] after Batman jammed a Batarang into his pump module), and \\\'\\\'SupermanTheAnimatedSeries\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'[[{{Retool}} The New Batman Adventures]]\\\'\\\' fixing a few things by having Bane retain his big size and formidable strength when the feed is cut, this has colored every adaptation since then of him being a hired thug who doesn\\\'t know who Batman is, is still addicted to Venom, and goes down the minute the Venom tube is cut.
** \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/YoungJustice\\\'\\\' attempted to fix this a bit by making sure to highlight how intelligent and cunning Bane is. However, his strategic mind apparently came at the cost of his impressive build, and he was very easily defeated in combat by Superboy and Miss Martian.
*** [[BadassAbnormal Bane]] losing a fight to \\\'\\\'[[PhysicalGod Superboy]]\\\'\\\' isn\\\'t exactly embarrassing.
*** Getting played for a chump by Kobra and [[VillainSue The Light]] certainly didn\\\'t help, either.
** Looks to be redeemed in \\\'\\\'Film/TheDarkKnightRises\\\'\\\'.

Once we determine which Bane is prevalent, we can reinsert \\\'\\\'that\\\'\\\' Bane\\\'s example, with suitable rewrites.
