Tom Hardy Bane vs Whedon slayers and vampires

This idea came to me because I find it both a bit funny and ironic how "realistic" Bane was able to pulverize concrete better than any slayer or vampire we've seen on either BtVS or Angel. It's anyone's guess how strong Hardy's Bane would've been if Zack Snyder was directing the fight scenes. Snyder's Batman is already strong enough to break through walls.

Anyways how do people think a one on one fight between the slayers and vampires on this show wold go like if they fought Hardy's Bane?

Bane would wreck Buffy. He broke Batman!!!!

No really, Buffy'd wreck him with ease. I know Buffy's strength (and everyone in the BU) is inconsistent, but, she'd still be stronger/more durable than Bane.

Say, do you hear that? It's the sound of the Reaper.....

I think it really comes down to budget and how much a show like this could achieve on a weekly basis. That's why feats of raw strength aren't as consistently shown as the characters' martial arts prowess. If the characters' physical dominance were more consistent with their greater feats of strength, then they'd drop most of their opponents like flies.

If they went up against someone like Bane, they'd probably have to rely on technique or clever tactics. That's actually not too uncommon for Buffy. There are numerous times when Buffy is faced with somebody with equal or greater offensive power, but she manages to beat them by outsmarting them, exploiting their weaknesses, utilizing her environment or simply making the finishing blow when the opportunity arrives.
