132, Gotham falls, and the bat has a broken back
"So, how the hell did you get from Gotham to this broken prison? I don't mind listening to the story, but please update it quickly, okay! β
Leo stood in a cell, neatly dressed in a suit and shiny leather shoes, out of step with the atmosphere here.
The two soldiers guarding the door snatched a chair from somewhere and placed it respectfully behind him.
The usually noisy prison is calm at the moment.
No one dared to make a sound, as if they were afraid of angering this young man who had come here for no reason.
It is an underground prison in the Middle East, like a huge and deep dark ancient well, in which hundreds of criminals are held.
There is only one way to freedom!
It was the hole where the sun shone in the sky overhead, and the prisoners had to climb along the rope if they wanted to escape.
Unfortunately, in the decades since the prison was built, only one person has ever succeeded.
The entrance of the prison is like a malicious joke, attracting prisoners to fight the fire and pay with their lives.
"But I can almost guess the rest of the story. The great Batman is deceived by Catwoman, then lets his guard down and ends up in Bane's hands...... Judging by your expression, I seem to have guessed correctly. β
Leo dragged the chair to the edge of the bed and sat on it.
The previous message from Gotham was actually the source of the signal sent by Batman in order for him to track down the exact location of Bruce Wayne.
Although Bane stripped off the Batman armor, according to the last location where the signal stopped, and then tracked it by satellite, Leo finally found the underground prison within forty-eight hours.
"Ho ho ...... At this point, you should offer to hand me a glass of water, instead of sitting there like a listener of a story that is not friendly at all! β
Bruce coughed twice and said with difficulty.
The handsome and charming young face of the past has become haggard and covered with stubble.
His greasy hair was sticky and smelled like a homeless man on the street.
With his current appearance, where can he still see the appearance of a noble son of Gotham!
"Alright, please get Mr. Wayne a glass of water."
Leo shrugged helplessly, turned his head and ordered the soldiers standing at the door.
This dark prison for political prisoners and thugs is now under the control of the Eye Society's special service team.
The most vicious prisoners in Suri did not show the guts and courage they should have under the cold muzzle of the guns.
They trembled and were docile like little sheep.
As for the prison guards guarding outside, as well as the eyeliner left by the Shadow Warrior Alliance, they have long been cleaned up, and the transport troops that distribute the supplies will not come over until a week later.
This meant that Leo had a lot of time to listen to Bruce Wayne tell stories.
He was personally curious about how the world's greatest detective, the Dark Knight of Gotham, lost at the hands of Bane.
"I checked your injuries, and your spine was badly damaged, almost all of it was about to break...... That guy was a big deal, but why didn't he take your life? β
Leo helped Batman, who was experiencing the pain of a broken back, and moistened his dry throat with a glass of water.
"I asked about this and he said...... I am not afraid of death, or even ask for it. So Bane wants to give me an even more cruel punishment, not only to torture my body, but also to disintegrate my spirit! He wants me to see the end and destruction of Gotham! β
Bruce's dim eyes lit up with blazing fire.
Even if he moved his body now, he would feel an incomparably sharp pain in his heart.
But thinking of the catastrophe that Gotham was about to face, Bruce couldn't help but feel anxious.
He wanted to get back to the city and stop Bane's movements!
"You warned me, but I ignored the clues and set my sights on the gangsters and thieves...... Bane is a terrible guy! He is more tolerant of pain than I am, accustomed to the darkness, and evenβhe is more determined than I am! β
Bruce gripped Leo's wrist tightly, his eyes filled with hope.
In terms of his character, he didn't like to ask for help.
But at the moment when he was broken off by Bane, Bruce Wayne, who was Batman, did not hesitate to press the signal transmitter in his belt and sent a distress message to Leo who was far away in Star City.
After that, he was thrown into this dark prison and waited for hope.
During this time, Bruce himself tried to escape from here, but just crawling out of bed used all his strength.
Weakness and pain filled this scarred body at that moment.
Batman has never felt the fragility and weakness of his flesh and blood like he does now.
"Don't let this knock you down, Bruce."
Leo looked deeply at Batman lying on the bed and said softly: "In my memory, you will not be defeated, you will always be firm and always calm. Why do people fall? That's because we have to learn to stand up. β
"It's up to you to save Gotham, because the public needs to see Batman, and they need to see the Dark Knight who guards the city!"
Just as Leo was talking to Bruce Wayne about Chicken Soup for the Soul, the TV that Bane had left behind seemed to receive a signal out of nowhere.
The sizzling snowflakes flickered a few times, and then turned into a clear picture!
The first thing that catches Bruce's eye is a familiar armored car.
It was Batman's former car, remodeled by Wayne Group's Applied Science division.
Come to think that Bane has already robbed his armory, and may even have taken over the Wayne Group!
The sturdy figure that had defeated him stood above the steel beast, and behind him stood the towering Black Gate Prison.
"Today is extraordinary, and it is worth remembering!"
Bane used this quote as an opening statement.
As his words fell, the machine guns on the armored car blew open the main entrance of the Black Gate Prison.
The roar of the explosion sounded like the horn of war!
Bane's soldiers poured into Black Gate Prison and violently coerced the guards to open the doors to the cells and cells.
They soon released thousands of prisoners and distributed weapons to the violent elements.
The prisoners in orange prison uniforms were like a wave of black oppression, suddenly breaking through the high walls and iron fences of the Black Gate Prison!
Roars and cheers of excitement continued, and everyone looked up at Bane, who was standing on the armored car.
It's like thinking about where this great leader who doesn't know where he came from is going to lead him.
"I give you freedom and the power to choose! Ladies and gentlemen, please look back, the prison behind you can no longer restrain you, neither can law and justice! β
Bane's deep voice, filtered through the mask on his face, became thick and powerful.
With the help of the gangsters, he has taken control of the city!
Cut out Batman at Wayne Manor, and then wipe out the Gotham Police Department!
Then lead the forces of the Shadow Warrior Alliance and completely occupy Gotham!
The ninja master's unfinished business is about to be completed in his hands!
"People see you as lawbreakers, you as villains and thugs! But what really drove the city to corruption and degeneration was the incompetent bureaucrats! The capitalists who exploit the masses! β
Bane's voice grew louder, and he spread his hands as if in response to the cheers of thousands of prisoners.
"Those people use false opportunities, with lies like 'everyone can succeed' to control you, to exploit you, to drive you! And I have recaptured Gotham from them, ready to return it to the citizens of Gotham! The city is yours now, and no one will interfere anymore! If you want to liberate Gotham, step forward! All right...... An army is formed! β
Seeing the thousands of prisoners take that step without hesitation, Bane's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.
He wants the city to become a paradise for thugs, a paradise for gangsters!
He wants these people to destroy their own city with their own hands, and make Batman in prison fall into despair.
Even if Bruce Wayne escapes from that dark cage, when he returns from a difficult journey, what will he be greeted with-
A mob influenced by anarchist fanaticism!
A rabble of people who commit violence and enjoy crime!
Everyone in the city will become Batman's enemies!
"Next, let's pull the powerful guys out of the mansion where they stay and throw them into the icy world we know and endure every day! The capitalists will be judged, and their property will be distributed to you! β
"This great city...... It will not perish! Gotham will have a new look and a spirit that will last forever! β
