Batman defeated him. And I disagree with the idea that the way it was done wasn't 'batmanish' enough. Wayne learned in prison that Bane's mask kept the pain at bay. He made a clear, concerted effort to attack that mask. In so doing, he got Bane to 'fight like a younger man' himself, as Bane mocked Batman for doing in the prior fight.
I liked the way that scene played out. And I liked the unexpected and ignominious way he was dispatched once it was clear he was no more than a pawn in the whole thing.
He was taken from an unbeateable genius super-thug to a defeated sidekick in the span of 5 minutes; then unceremoniously blown to hell by another sidekick. I liked how Nolan was casually dismissive of him at that point.
How he died was ultimately irrelevant after he was decisively handled up to it.

Thank you. Excellent post.
I've been trying to come up with the right way to word my feelings about this in a post. You did it. Exactly.
