Have you seen the movie? Turns out Bane’s working for Talia Al Ghul, Ra’s’s daughter. The League of Shadows wants to cleanse Gotham in fire.

They pledged their life to the league. No different than ISIS or Al Quaeda. The league is an organization that has existed for centuries.

The organization's goals are to purge dominant cities of corruption throughout history. Their backstory is prominent in the comics.
