A week later, Bruce Wayne was finally able to get up from the hard plank bed.

Despite strenuous lower back exercise, it still produces pain.

But after this period of recovery, it is no longer the original semi-paralyzed state.

Bruce's feet trembled incessantly, he stepped on the cold ground, and before he could take two steps, his body lost strength, and he stumbled and was about to fall.

"You're too anxious."

Leo, who was standing next to him, stretched out his hand at the right time and held the other party steadily.

He taught Bruce Wayne the rehabilitation methods that Ms. Siva had once taught.

And this Batman's learning speed is naturally far beyond ordinary people, and he quickly mastered this magical method beyond scientific explanation.

The fractured spine gradually healed with effective healing, and at the same time, it greatly alleviated the pain suffered by Bruce.

"With an injury like this, you'll need at least two months to recover."

Leo took Bruce by his arms and sent him back to bed.

This Batman who once flew off the wall to fight crime and terrified the gang.

Because of muscle atrophy and his own injuries, it is now quite difficult to even walk on the ground.

To regain the original strong body, and the strong physical strength that is said to be the limit of human beings, it will definitely take a long period of exercise and recuperation.

But Bruce clearly has little patience, and he is now desperate to return to Gotham.

"My city is on its way to destruction, and I'm trapped in this prison, this cramped cell, and this damn bed"

Bruce's eyes were sunken, his face haggard, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone.

He shouldn't have let his emotions spiral out of control, but the pain and frustration at Bane's hands had dealt him a heavy blow.

It's been almost half a month since that mercenary took control of Gotham.

Batman's disappearance for no reason has left many people with the last glimmer of hope.

After knowing that they could not get help from the police and the government, the panicked citizens of Gotham were extremely eager for Batman to step up.

It's a pity that the bat signal light at the Gotham Police Station has never been lit again.

"If you continue to have this mentality, you can't beat Bane, and there's no need for me to wait for Batman to return to Gotham."

Leo said with a calm face, shaking his head.

He glanced out of the cell, at the warm sunlight cast through the hole above, and then turned his gaze back to Bruce.

The reason why he stayed in this prison instead of rushing to Gotham in the first place to deal with Bane and the Shadow Warrior Alliance.

On the one hand, because he himself is not in a hurry to save Gotham.

On the other hand, considering the nuclear bomb in Bane's hand and the madness of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, he needs a cover to attract the attention of these guys.

"Why aren't you in a hurry at all It stands to reason that Gotham was hijacked and controlled by terrorists, and the Sky Eye Society will also be under a lot of pressure."

Bruce vented his inner anxiety and quickly regained his composure.

He actually understood why Bane had kept himself alive and had a television set up in his cell.

In the end, it's about torturing yourself better.

Let him suffer in physical pain and spiritual despair, and finally be powerless and unwilling to die

"Because I'm not a hero, I don't feel nervous about the citizens who are suffering, and I don't want to try to save them as soon as possible."

Leo stretched his body, his tone rather relaxed.

Ignoring Bruce's changing complexion and eyes, he continued, "Humans are strange creatures at times, and when a problem arises, it seems impossible to express how difficult the problem itself is if I solve it quickly and efficiently. ”

"A mercenary, threatening the White House with a nuclear bomb, arrogantly controlling a city on American soil, do you know what the Mr. President sitting in the White House would think, this is another violation of the dignity of the United States since 911, although I don't care about this, but those politicians, the Pentagon generals obviously care"

"In addition to the pressure on the Eye of the Sky, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Guard, the FBI, and other intelligence agencies are definitely experiencing the wrath of the president and the secretary of defense."

Leo said lightly, his tone remained calm, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

If this were replaced by a patriot like Amanda Waller, he would have already begun to act in a hurry to raise manpower.

Or even send a suicide squad to infiltrate Gotham and take out Bane and the Shadow Warriors Alliance

In fact, Amanda Waller did urge several times.

Have Leo rush to Gotham as soon as possible and dispose of the nuclear bomb in Gotham in the most efficient way.

Because it is a sword of Damocles, which can take the lives of 12 million Gotham citizens at any time

"You're waiting for an opportunity to let this horror continue to brew and ferment, and then deal with Bane and the Shadow Warrior at the most critical time"

Bruce said the above conclusion in a cold tone.

He doesn't like this style of doing things that only cares about the result and ignores the process.

Maybe in the end of the matter, Leo can successfully save Gotham, but due to the selfishness and utilitarianism of the other party, it will lead to someone being hurt or even killed.

In Bruce's opinion, this is not right

"I said a long time ago that I'm not the same as you."

The smile on Leo's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "You always want to save more people and save everyone, and I only think that maybe I can save this person by the way." So you're able to put on a mask, put on a cape, and become Batman. ”

"And I, just applaud the crowd cheering for you."

Hearing this, Bruce stared at Leo with deep-set eyes.

He seemed to want to say something, but remained silent.

"But if you're really in such a hurry to get back to Gotham, I have a more effective way."

Finishing the previous heavy topic, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Leo's mouth.

He looked down at Bruce Wayne, who was in extremely bad health, and an idea popped into his head.

Symbiote Batman

"Why do I feel like you're a little ill-intentioned?"

Bruce looked at Leo's strange eyes and suddenly felt a chill.

His inner intuition told him that the other party's next proposed method might hide some insidious trap that no one knew.

"How can it be that with our friendship, how can it hurt you."

Leo laughed twice, summoning the symbiote hidden beneath his body.

Then, he pressed one hand to Bruce's chest, whose face was full of shock.

A black, viscous liquid suddenly covered the entire body of Batman.

This time, Bruce Wayne has become the "Dark Knight" in the true sense of the word
