The brake run in the background is located after the Batwing loops.  It is hard to photograph this boomerang element since it is far away from anywhere guests can walk in the park.  The Batwing begins by having trains climb and then turn upside-down.  At the top of the loop, trains turn again while pulling out of the loop in a mirror image of the first half of the Batwing element.  The end result is that trains exit the maneuver traveling in the opposite direction from which they entered the loops.

The brakes seen here are block brakes, and trains can safely stop in this elevated section of track.  Once released, the trains have enough speed to pass through the vertical loop pictured here.  The placement of the last two inversions partially below ground level helps make this possible.
