It was obvious to Wayne (or should have been) that it was the work of the League of Shadows. Hell, even Alfred saw it.

Now, the LOS knew exactly who Batman/Bruce Wayne was, and Wayne knew exactly what the LOS ultimate goal for Gotham was.

So, once he realized that the LOS was back, why in the Holy Hell did he not IMMEDIATELY flood the chamber the reactor was in.

All Bruce Wayne knew was that Bane had been trained by the League of Shadows. And while Bruce initially didn't believe Alfred's theory the League of Shadows was back, he concluded he would beat Bane in a straight up brawl no matter who was backing him. At that point in the film, Bruce was still under the assumption that Daggett, the corrupt member of the Wayne Board, was backing Bane and his mercenaries. He didn't learn Bane's true intentions until he was fighting him in the sewers. By that time it was too late to flood the reactor.

But after they found out that Batman escaped The Pit, why wait??? After Batman and the cops sarted fighting back, why wait??? After she stabbed Batman in the back and revealed what her plan was all along, WHY frickING WAIT???

Movie Villain Cliche 101 but it would have made little sense to the viewer had Miranda stabbed Bruce before immediately pulling out the detonator and blowing the city right then and there.
