    My name is Bane, 26 years old, a hero of justice.

    My men, Birdman, Cave Dweller, and Zombie, were captured by the evil arch-villain Batman.

    He used them as hostages, forcing me into his lair, compelling me to arrive at Arkham Asylum four days later for a decisive battle.

    I know very well that in four days, Batman will have fully controlled the talons he stole from the Court of Owls. The Arkham Asylum inmates won’t be as stiff as they were when he used the Mad Hatter’s chip. Batman will persuade all the inmates to help him.

    In other words, I will be in a very unfavorable situation: just relying on the prisoners in Blackgate Prison, dozens of tanks, myself, and the Joker to fight against the entire Gotham.

    I can’t win. Even if I can defeat all of Batman’s minions, I will be exhausted and struggle to defeat him.

    But luckily… I still have a trump card that no one knows about.

    A mysterious person, an unknown mysterious person, not only provided me with a lot of money and intelligence, guiding me to steal the nuclear bomb, but also gave me a new nuclear bomb just now, after I lost the previous one.

    He said it was bought from the Penguin years ago. What a precautious madman… but it doesn’t matter. The important thing is that I have a new bargaining chip, I can get back on the table again.

    And this time, I won’t underestimate my opponent.

    I suspect that Batman may already know that I have a new nuclear bomb.

    Since the nuclear bomb has become a public card, I might as well turn it into a public card.

    The Joker, my ally who I may betray at any time. I will push him to the front, diverting Batman’s attention.

    And I can be in the dark…

    This time, I will never lose.

    P.S.: The Joker gave me a suggestion, since Batman can kidnap my people, I can kidnap Batman’s people too.

    This is a constructive opinion.

    The sun went down.

    Lucius, the technical director of Wayne Enterprises, was having dinner in his office.

    As he took the second bite of his steak, he saw Batman silently appearing behind him in the reflection of his glass.

    Before Lucius could wipe his mouth, Bruce Wayne went straight to the point:

    “Lucius, I need you to create a device that can interfere with the nuclear bomb explosion.”

    He explained: “No matter what kind of nuclear bomb, it must be stopped from exploding.”

    Lucius looked at him speechless.

    “What do you think I am, a blue cat robot that can create props with a wish?”

    “Liquid fuel injection, launch control system, fuse…”

    “At what specific step do you want to stop it?”

    “I don’t care, any step will do.” Bruce Wayne didn’t care about these, he simply gave the order: “You know what we’re facing, and you know very well that we have to stop it at any step. I suspect…”

    He said: “Forget it, in short, Murphy’s Law tells us that things will always go wrong, we have to be prepared. I have to do it at all costs.”

    “…”

    “Okay, I understand.” Lucius, the chief scientist of Wayne Tech, raised his hands in surrender. He said: “Okay, okay, it’s not difficult, it’s just some interference… I’ll be able to make this soon.”

    “One more thing, you came just in time. The nano-embedded bomb you asked me to make is ready, as long as it’s put into the body, it can blow people’s limbs off in a minute…”

    Lucius took out a large bag of nano bombs from the safe next to him, and Bruce Wayne reached out to take it.

    He turned around and sat back in his seat, using his knife and fork to cut the potato on his plate in half, and then continued:

    “This is actually a bit cruel, to be honest… I hope you use it with caution.”

    Bruce Wayne nodded silently: “This is the last line of defense to control those Arkham people. Amanda Waller’s methods are sometimes necessary.”

    (Amanda Waller, a US official, the controller of the Suicide Squad. Her specialty is planting nano bombs in criminals’ necks, then driving them to work.)

    “Okay,” Lucius continued, “but there is one more thing, allow me to ask you a question. What’s the deal with the nuclear bomb? Could it be…”

    Before Lucius could finish, he turned his head and saw that there was no one behind him.

    He put down his cutlery: “Oh, come on.”

    After saying goodbye to Lucius, Bruce Wayne rushed to Jim Gordon’s house.

    “Knock, knock!”

    Bruce Wayne knocked twice on the door, not afraid of disturbing others.

    After Barbara Gordon, Gordon’s daughter, was paralyzed a few years ago, she left Gotham to treat her spine, so he lives alone now.

    “Coming, coming.”

    Commissioner Gordon, wearing pink pajamas, opened the door, and the first thing he saw was Bruce Wayne’s serious face.

    “Ah, you’re here.” He said subconsciously: “I’ve been thinking about you killing that guy…”

    But before he could finish, he saw Bruce Wayne snap his fingers, and a large lump of mud oozed in from the window next to him.

    “Oh, damn it!”

    Commissioner Gordon said.

    “Let me introduce you, Gordon, this is Clayface, I…”

    Bruce Wayne originally wanted to say “a villain I recently subdued,” but Clayface instantly made his eyes deformed, large and crystal clear, shimmering with longing, and his clothes instantly turned into a Robin uniform.

    “I… my… cough, my favorite Robin.”

    “?”

    “That’s not the point, the important thing is…”

    Bruce Wayne clapped his hands again, and then five or six talons kicked through the window and appeared in the room.

    “Ha, now you’re the villain leader, right?” Gordon said.

    Ignoring Commissioner Gordon’s complaints of “Hey, this is new glass, it’s my house,” Bruce Wayne continued:

    “No time to waste, Jim, you’re in danger.”

    “I’ve always been in danger in this city, I’m used to it.” Gordon shrugged, then said, “What now?”

    Bruce Wayne told him about the appointment four days later.

    “I still don’t understand what this has to do with me.”

    Bruce Wayne replied: “I used to watch TV shows and always complain about the protagonists, who clearly knew that the villains had no bottom line, but still wouldn’t send their colleagues and families to safety, but let them stay in their homes stupidly, until they were captured as hostages.”

    This specifically criticized a TV series called Gotham that Bruce Wayne watched in his previous life. In the show, the death of Penguin’s mother could have been predicted as soon as she appeared in the first season.

    Bruce Wayne complained about it when he watched it, and now that it’s his turn, he naturally won’t make such a low-level mistake.

    Whether it’s Bane or the Joker, the word “bottom line” seems to have nothing to do with them.

    Bruce Wayne won’t let himself fall into the disadvantageous situation of being kidnapped by the enemy and threatened with hostages.

    “So I have to protect you, Jim. Until everything is settled, I have to make sure you don’t become a hostage.”

    “Are you kidding? I’m the police commissioner of Gotham, how can a police commissioner run away?”

    Jim Gordon refused Bruce Wayne without surprise: “Batman, I appreciate your kindness, but I have a responsibility. And you killed that guy before…”

    Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug, glug…

    Before Gordon could finish, he saw a large piece of Clayface, about 1/5 of his body, separate and fall to the ground, turning into his own image in three quick steps.

    “I’m sorry, Gordon. I’m not consulting you. I know this is different from my past actions, but it’s necessary.”

    Bruce Wayne said: “To prevent you from being kidnapped as a hostage, I can only force you to kidnap you first, please understand.”

    Gordon turned to run, but as soon as he turned, he bumped into Bruce Wayne who appeared behind him. Then Bruce Wayne’s black sand condensed into a black stick in his hand.

    “Knock out!”

    Bang!

    Bruce Wayne put the unconscious Jim Gordon into a sack, then ran away with Clayface. They had another target to kidnap.

    Only a fake Commissioner Gordon remained in his room. He stepped over the broken glass, and climbed onto the bed to sleep as if nothing had happened.

    “I’ll have someone fix the windows tomorrow.” He muttered to himself, as if he were really Jim Gordon.

    And recommend my friend’s book.
