In their first major encounter, Bane's mistake was to think Batman could be broken physically. As the Dark Knight has reminded his nemesis time and again, he'll just keep getting back up. The entirety of Tom King's Batman run has been about Bane's attempt to break Batman psychologically instead. And thus far, he's been doing a pretty thorough job of it. Issue #71's great accomplishment is not just in sending Batman further into a spiral of despair, but in forcing readers to question his sanity just as his friends are.
This issue employs the same parallel narrative technique that has cropped up in many key chapters of the series. In the past, we see Batman regrouping after his escape from Arkham and attempting to rally his allies against Bane. In the present, we see a weary, defeated Batman preparing to meet with Bane and his own father inside Wayne Manor. What exactly transpired between those two points isn't revealed until the end, but it's another big step in Bane's plot to break the Bat.
