Bane is in Wayne Manor - he wants to break Batman, whom he knows to be Bruce Wayne, and then he wants to rule Gotham City. As the two battle, first in the manor, then in the cave beneath, Alfred staggers out to fetch help, but it is too late - Batman is far from top form, and Bane snaps his back. The bat is broken.
