Yeah, it happened pretty recently... Bane was under the influence of Psycho Pirate, and not on Venom at the time. That said, he still stomped Bruce until being cheapshotted by Catwoman:
But it could be argued that Bruce was fatigued, as he'd battled his way through dozens of Bane's henchman just before the fight.
That was just another case of Bane being cocky and leaving himself vulnerable to attack. He'd beaten Batman, and let his guard down -- that's when Catwoman struck. Seems to be his only real flaw as a fighter, even if it only happens occasionally. /shrug
What I did like from this issue was Bruce reiterating the fact that Bane is > himself:
This scene was so homo:

Bruce has the only victory where they were both truly going at it.
Because he's Batman.

That said, I am extremely impressed with Batman's damage soak. Enduring repeated strikes from a guy whose strength is already in the meta-class without Venom, is effing unreal. 👆
Could =/= would most of the fights.
Evidently, the would part ended with Batman headbutting him into unconsciousness in the only fight where Bruce didn't let himself get beat.
Bane is left with lip-service and an almost-win.
As the ever-deep fast & furious movies used to say:
"It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning."
To step away from the wise Dominick Toretto - yes, Batman's soak is just ridiculous. Especially considering the Grundy/Mr. Freeze showings earlier.

It defies all suspension of disbelief for a peak human to endure an assault of that magnitude w/o sustaining any lasting injuries, but then again...

The only clean win I would personally give Batman is from their fight in the 'Forever Evil Aftermath' issue. Bruce legit beat him there, with no extenuating circumstances... And that was the same arc where Bane stomped the collective rogue gallery, of whom were all venom-amped at the time.
Anywho, I really hope nobody thinks that losing to Batman(even though it was Bane's own fault) is any sort of low-showing -- if anything, it is a VERY high-end feat for Bruce. Aside from that, Bruce has done some ridiculous shit in this series- here is my favorite example:

👆 Batman is just in another league compared to most streets.
