This is clearly the Bane version of Morrison's Arkham Asylum. Kinda fitting to see Bane beat up Dent and is about to beat up Grundy and Amygdala, he missed them in Arkham War lol.
Speaking of Morrison, this comes across as a spiritual twin of sorts of Batman INC v2 imo. There, specifically the second issue we got an entire origin story for Talia to drive home that she was Batman's dark female counterpart and even had her own "kick the tree moment". In Batman # 18 of this volume we got an origin story for Bane to drive home that he too is Batman's evil twin and Bane got a similar moment. Similarly Talia berated Bruce for being a man child,playing dress up etc and mocked Batman's traditional rogues, Bane has done the exact same thing so far. The build up to the respective confrontations have also taken their time too.
Another connecting Morrison link is Psycho Pirate. Then you take in to account Bane/Talia from Nolan verse and the Legacy story from the late 90's its almost eerie. Though I'm sure this is all a coincidence but its fun to speculate.
Now I hope Bane has a moment similar to the one in which Heretic killed Damian, I anticipate Bane killing Hayden and destroying the Mask to deny GG or using it to drive her even more insane and therefore breaking Batman's hope .
