* Though Batman ended the night losing to Bane, It should be remembered that over the course of Knightfall (the first arc), Batman and Robin together managed to fight off or defeat 15 different super criminals (among them Mad Hatter, Zsasz, Firefly, Amygdala, Poison Ivy, Riddler, Cavalier, Cornelius Stirk, Abattoir, Scarecrow, Joker, and Killer Croc) in all in only a few nights. That is some very impressive heroics.

-->'''Batman:''' Then while you revel in it, Bane, I'm sick of death, sick of blood, sick of the chaos and horror you've brought to Gotham - and right into my home. I've spent my life fighting your kind of madness and evil, and now that lifelong fight has brought me to death's door, my own door... I realize you may well be the single greatest source of madness and evil I've ever faced. And in that case? *puts on mask* ''One more time.''
** Bane, for his part, manages to undercut Bruce's speech with a one-word BadassBoast; when Bruce calls Bane "the single greatest source of madness and evil I've ever faced," Bane interjects, "''Easily.''"
* Jean Paul Valley may have lost his mind and the right to wear the cape and cowl, but when he faced off with Bane in his new costume, his crowning moment of awesome came not from beating Bane within an inch of his life. It's when he has Bane at his mercy, the police and Robin watching on in suspense of what he will do. Then Bane finally says, "Kill me, Batman..." (he's spent the entirety of the fight refusing to acknowledge him as Batman).

** Batman even gets a little one. According to the {{Novelization}}, Bruce realized what Bane was going to do, and twisted himself enough so his spine wasn't snapped, instead damaging the vertebrae. While he was still crippled, it wasn't as severe as it could have been.

--> '''Nightwing:''' You'd have to stand on top of Gotham Tower just to reach his BOOTS! You didn't best him! You MURDERED him! Now I'm gonna peel that tinsuit off you and AIR YOU OUT!!!
** Made even better because Dick only loses the fight once he's distracted by a civilian in danger. [=AzBats=] uses that distraction to take him down. Had that not happened there's no telling how the rest of the fight would've gone.
