The Permission Bane meme, frequently referred to by the line 'Do you feel in charge?', originates from the 2012 film 'The Dark Knight Rises.' The scene features the villain Bane, played by Tom Hardy, placing his hand on the shoulder of John Daggett, a wealthy businessman who believes he is in control of Bane's actions. When Daggett tries to assert authority, Bane calmly asks the question, instantly subverting the power dynamic. Online, the meme is widely used to highlight situations where someone mistakenly believes they have authority, making it a favorite for office humor and political commentary.
