[In the cave, Alfred looks as Bruce Wayne prepares to go out as Batman once again after an eight-year absence]
Alfred: If you're seriously considering going back out there, you should hear the rumors surrounding Bane.
Bruce: I'm all ears.
Alfred: There is a prison in a more ancient part of the world. A pit where men are thrown to suffer and die. But sometimes a man rises from the darkness. Sometimes the pit sends something back.
Bruce: Bane.
Alfred: Bane. Born and raised in hell on earth.
Bruce: Born in a prison?
Alfred: No one knows why, or how he escaped. But they do know that once he did, he was trained by Ra's Al Ghul, your mentor.
Bruce: Bane was a member of the League of Shadows?
Alfred: And then he was excommunicated. And any man who is too extreme for Ra's Al Ghul is not to be trifled with.
Bruce: I didn't realize I was known for trifling with criminals.
Alfred: That was then. And you can strap up your leg and put your mask back on. But that doesn't make who you were.
Bruce: If this man is everything that you say he is, then the city needs me.
Alfred: The city needs Bruce Wayne. Your resources, your knowledge. It doesn't need your body, or your life. That time has passed.
Bruce: You're afraid that if I go back out there, I'll fail.
Alfred: No. I'm afraid that you want to.
