Bane defeats Batman with ease because Bruce Wayne turns into a shut away for eight whole years 'It has been eight years since Bruce Wayne has been Batman; having retired from the crime fighting lifestyle following his decision to take the blame for Harvey Dent's crimes. He has become a recluse, rarely leaving Wayne Manor, and has been seen by few people in Gotham city.' http://dcmovies.wikia.com/wiki/Batman_(Nolanverse)#The_Dark_Knight_Rises
