Bucs rookie Rueben Bain, Jr. appears set to lean into Batman theme, and it couldn't be more appropriate
Tampa Bay's 2026 first round pick will have an imposing look about him on the field.
Via Twitter (X) @Buccaneers Tampa Bay’s 2026 first round pick will have an imposing look about him on the field. “Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark.
I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but blinding.
” The famous quote from Tom Hardy’s famous character Bane in “The Dark Knight Rises” is one of the more oft-repeated ones from the entire Batman franchise. And for good reason. Bane was a brutal villain in the film, and his coldness was encapsulated when he uttered those three lines above.
Tampa Bay feels like they’re getting a player in Rueben Bain, Jr. who has been in the dark during the pre-draft process. At least in the context of being considered one of the very top picks.
