Gotham City Public Hospital.

Police Chief Jim?? Gordon, I don't know what happened, was lying in a hospital bed.

The window opened, and a man with a hood climbed into the room, unnoticed by the guards outside the door.

Jim?? Gordon's pupils shrank, his right hand grasped the oxygen mask, and he moved stiffly.

"Where's Dante?" It was Bruce who spoke?? Wayne, the retired Batman.

"He just left, saying he went to investigate." After saying that, Gordon put on the oxygen mask again and took two puffs before taking it away.

His eyes were full of reproach, regret, and helplessness: "We should have eradicated evil together, but then you left." ”

Wayne, who was wearing a hood, shook his head: "It's enough for Gotham to have a Knight of Light, and there is no need for an extra Batman." Besides, Gotham's criminals have been cleared, and we're the winners. ”

"Nope." Gordon leaned sideways, pain furrowing his eyebrows: "The victory is only temporary, and the sins that lurk in the dark corners of the city are beginning to recur. Batman, it's time to come back. ”

"There's Dante ......"

Gordon interrupted him, "You know, the Knight of Light can only walk in the sun. We can't wait for a big mistake to be made before making an arrest, and we must always take precautions when we encounter some special circumstances. ”

After a long speech, Gordon hurriedly put on an oxygen mask to breathe.

Last night, after dealing with the shooting of the Gotham restaurant, Gordon, who received the alarm, led a team to search for the missing congressman.

Unexpectedly, when I traced it down to the sewers, I encountered an underground organization that had begun to take shape.

Gordon was shot and jumped into the sewers to escape.

After this catastrophe, he knew that Gotham's evil had not been completely eradicated, but it was just not so blatant.

Bruce?? Wayne wore a hood and couldn't see a look: "What if, I just said if, Batman isn't there?" ”

Gordon understood what he meant, gasping for breath and making a hoarse voice: "As long as the people of Gotham need him, he will be there." ”

Wayne sat in his chair and didn't speak.

"There's one thing I'm concerned about."

"Huh?"

Seeing Gordon hook his fingers with difficulty, Wayne softly moved his chair and leaned over to avoid being noticed by the guards outside the house.

"Iceman, I'll send someone around to find out about him." An indescribable look flashed in Gordon's eyes: "Someone saw him looking for Maroni." ”

A vigilante who brings hope to Gotham goes to find a former gang leader, which feels a little strange no matter how you think about it.

Gordon slapped Wayne's hand with difficulty, his voice dry and hoarse: "He's back." ”

He took two puffs of oxygen, stared at Wayne, and said solemnly, "I feel that he is not the vigilante he used to be." ”

"I know." Wayne nodded, patted the back of Gordon's hand, and helped him lie down: "You have a good rest first." ”

Come to the window and pass the improvised rope, Bruce?? Wayne flipped back to the room.

He didn't go through the ultimate test of JOKER, his leg was normal and he wasn't lame.

It's just that the body that has long been scarred has no such injury.

Back in the hospital room, Wayne took off his hood and suddenly froze.

There were no lights on in the room, and a person was sitting on a chair.

Through the vague graceful curves, Wayne had already guessed who it was.

"You should stay at Wayne Manor, shut up." It's a woman's voice.

"I just...... Let's get a physical check-up. Wayne maintained his usual cold tone, which was a good way to hide his emotions after being knocked out.

"So, check downstairs?"

Seeing that Wayne didn't answer, the other party smiled and handed over a jewelry box.

Haven't opened yet, Bruce?? Wayne guessed what was inside just by looking at the packaging.

The stolen pearl necklace.

The woman in front of her is the pretty thief, Selena, who is known as 'Catwoman'?? Kyle.

"You didn't find your next home, so you returned to avoid legal punishment?" Wayne smiled professionally: "Don't worry, I didn't call the police." ”

"No, I changed my mind."

In this independent world, without Chen Hao's participation, Bruce?? Wayne will go through the ultimate test of JOKER.

In Harvey?? After Dante's blackening death, he took all the blame on himself and became a wanted criminal by the police.

In the following eight years, due to the closure of the door, the Wayne Group was not managed for a long time, which led to the breaking of the financial chain that should have been provided to the orphanage.

Catwoman Kyle grew up in the orphanage that Wayne was building.

In the face of subsidies that are often not accounted for, she inevitably has a feeling of complaining.

It was because of this little caution that she agreed to Bane's proposal to lure Batman back to Gotham somewhere and make him suffer the pain of a broken spine.

But now, due to the intervention of Chen Hao's butterfly, everything has changed.

Rachel didn't die, Dent didn't blacken, and the gang broke its roots, which made Bruce?? Wayne managed the Wayne Group for nearly five years.

Vigorously develop municipal construction and improve welfare measures.

Although he didn't make much money, he also won the heartfelt respect of most Gotham people.

Selena?? Kyle's quality of life in his childhood has also improved a lot, at least not the kind of days when he didn't have the last meal.

There is a way to eat people with a soft mouth and take people with short hands.

After learning that something would happen to Wayne, Kyle struggled for a long time and chose to come to warn him.

As for the pearl necklace, it was stolen because I liked it, not to sell it for money.

"Thank you so much." Wayne left the box on the counter next to the bed and didn't open it to look at it.

"Bane has set up a game to destroy you completely." Kyle said as he got up.

"Bane?"

"That's all I know, anyway...... Be careful. With that, Kyle opened the door and slipped out.

Wayne's eyes narrowed.

He rushed back to the Bat Cave at Wayne Manor overnight to investigate Bane's information.

When the butler Alfred saw the young master returning, he followed him to the cave.

"Young Master, if you want to investigate Bane, there is a rumor that needs to be understood."

"Listen up."

"In this world, there is an old prison. It was a deep pit into which people were thrown to be tortured to death. But there are always exceptions, and someone will run away from there. ”

"Bane?" Bruce?? Wayne walked over to his beloved Batman suit and touched the sleek lines with his hand.

Alfred didn't answer directly, and walked up the stairs step by step: "He was born in purgatory, and no one knows how he escaped. But after he escaped, he was trained by the Master Ninja, your former mentor. ”

"So......" Wayne clasped his arms around his arms, "He's the Shadow Alliance's hospital?" ”

"Nope." Alfred shook his head: "He was expelled from the alliance and said this rumor, just to remind you. The seedlings who can be looked down upon by the ninja master are by no means idle. ”

"I've never despised him...... Even, anyone. ”

Wayne looked through the glass cover and looked at the red-colored armor inside.

Whether it is the style or color, it is very different from the traditional black armor.

He called it, Hell Armor.

Also known as, anti-iceman armor.
