Watched it again on Video on Demand.
The infamous back breaking scene...still chilling.
It's just so...fast. It's over before you know it, even for people who know the significance. He just lifts Bruce up like a doll, and CRACK!!! It's over.
Wonderous.
There was also Bane's line about victory defeating Bruce. I liked that.

One Strip! One Strip!
What's funny about it is:
He said earlier that it would be painful for anyone who took off his mask.
Then you see him punching holes in walls after Batman does just that, and then you know he wasn't bluffing!!!
In that small space in the plane, he would have wrecked shit if they'd tried to remove his face mask. He did them a favour.
Edit: Also, watching the movie, I've gained a huge appreciation for Talia's Slow knife approach.
She went to a lot of trouble to get him in the right place at the right time.
Everything that went wrong for Bruce in the Movie can be traced back to her, and she was the one who got him back into the world(through Catwoman).
She could have just killed him much earlier, but it wouldn't have meant anything then. So she gave him back his spark, gave him a reason to fight again, even unwittingly helped him become stronger by forcing him to endure the same trial she did.
It makes the literal knife she sticks in his chest much much worse.
Of course, then the whole plan goes to shit, but that's how revenge goes sometimes.

One Strip! One Strip!Anger and pain can actually make a person stronger, but of course, the downside of being in intense pain is the fact that you're in intense pain. Still, if Bane's berserking on adrenaline, the pain wouldn't even slow him down. Anger and pain together can create a very potent cocktail for making certain kinds of person unstoppable for a short period of time.

He fights like a younger man, with nothing held back.
Really appreciating the foreshadowing (which I missed in the film because I was expecting Talia to turn up anyway) for non-familiar fans. For instance, during the Stock Exchange heist, you know how there are the two traders getting a shoe shine? Talia walks right past them and into the building. Her face is unseen, but she is wearing the usual blue coat and her scarf. Later on, Bane nods to someone offscreen. Dead subtle.

I think I know who you are talking about. I thought that was her, but I forgot about it.
Slow knife, people. Slow knife.
One Strip! One Strip!So this is a strange reason to bump, but I just realize that the version of Catwoman in this movie, in addition to never being referred to as Catwoman, does't use a whip.
I never noticed that until now.
One Strip! One Strip!

Nope. That rumour was squashed.
