Late at night.
Chen Tao stood by the Gotham River and saw under the vast night, a bright moon disturbing the cold wind, blowing across the river to the east.
The tide generates white waves, reflecting spots of sparkling waves.
What a magnificent and majestic night!
"Dududu..."
Chen Tao answered the phone.
"OK, strong capitalist man, after so long, Ivy and I have finally planted trees all around Gotham! Oh my god, we have been working day and night without any rest, but I am exhausted. You should really hang up street lights. "
Harley Quinn's face appeared on the opposite side of the screen, with big dark circles under her eyes - this was not the effect of her makeup in the past. She complained loudly: "Ivy is almost exhausted!"
Beside her, Poison Ivy looked like a consumptive ghost, with the Cheshire Cat supporting her.
"Thank you, Harley, and everyone of you."
Chen Tao's voice was quiet, distant, and had an unearthly depth.
"I appreciate your efforts."
He said: "It all makes sense. You are Gotham's last line of defense. Once the worst happens, Ivy's plants will be the best assistant in confirming the trajectory of nuclear weapons to ensure our interception." The missile will have more time and opportunity to catch up with the launched nuclear bomb."
Harley wanted to talk nonsense about asking for salary, but Chen Tao told her directly and simply: "$100 million will be transferred to your account in 10 minutes, and so will Poison Ivy. Okay, shut up." Bar."
"Great!"
Chen Tao hung up the phone.
He silently looked at the river, in the center of the river, at the corner where the reflection of the moonlight could not shine. It was as dark as ink and gloomy, as if there were real monsters lurking in it.
"Dududu..."
Chen Tao made another phone call and went out.
"Batman calls Robin. Are all signal blocking devices in Gotham City in place?"
"Batman has been completed. As you said, we have deployed more blocking devices in these key areas such as the circus, amusement park, and Wayne Tower."
Young Robin's tired voice appeared on the screen: "Our chief scientist said the range of this thing is more than 20 meters. If what he says is true, then no one will be able to launch anything in these places."
But that's not necessarily the case elsewhere.
Chen Tao thought.
Deadshot's head burst into view.
"For the past four days, we have been climbing up and down, being driven around by you, Batman. To be honest, it's not obvious that you have already snatched the nuclear bomb back, there will really be a second one..."
"Hey, smart guy, you obviously don't understand Gotham." Killer Crocodile next to him interrupted him. The big green monster was chewing instant jerky and said vaguely:
"The worst always happens in Gotham. You know, this city is a vicious face, and she never knows how to write the word mercy."
"Without a doubt."
Chen Tao replied in a low voice: "That's why we need to be prepared even more."
"See you."
Chen Tao hung up the phone.
He held out a hand.
Silver-white particles entangled in his hand, and half of his hand turned into a crimson gauze.
He stretched out his other hand, and driven by silver-white particles, the green dinosaur's giant claws faintly emerged.
Chen Tao groaned.
He waved away the transformations in both forms.
"I'm not done yet."
He muttered silently to himself.
He stared at the darkness in the middle of the river, staring deeply at him, as if he wanted to imprint it into the stars in his eyes.
"I've come this far and I've been doing great. I'm not losing. I'm doing as good as the real Batman."
In the space of imagination and the world of thinking, in that ferocious darkness, a bat howled silently.
Chen Tao looked at him squarely, at the residual, dripping blood in the bat's mouth!
"I'm sure I'm not done yet."
"Between us, you, me, our story will take some time to end."
He smiled lowly and said: "Look, fate tells us that I may have to fight you for the last time on behalf of Batman."
A little light lit up in his heart, sweeping away all cowardice, hesitation and fear.
He yelled at himself loudly, and the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, as loud and loud as the sky collapsing and the earth falling, roared in his heart to all directions in the world:
"Listen up!!! In life, even though there are thousands of ways, there is only one way out! As long as you do something, you either don't do it or you finish it. There is no such thing as giving up halfway!"
"Everyone! That cowardly and incompetent self! Listen to me!!! I am Chen Tao!"
"But I'm also—"
"Bat! Bat! Man!!!"
He chanted softly:
"Gotham."
"I am coming!"
Silver-white particles entangled him again, turning him into the nano-body of the Broken Bat. Chen Tao rolled up his fluttering cloak and walked away in the most uncomfortable evening breeze in Gotham tonight——
There is no looking back!

…
Bane went over one last time the pamphlet Batman had given him on how to fight the Joker.
He stroked the spine of the booklet, his face showing infinite tenderness and murderous intent.
He finally reviewed all the plans in his mind, then turned off the desk lamp in the room, and locked the booklet back into the safe with great care and solemnity.
But before he could reach the door, he let out a muffled groan, and his whole body slumped as if there was a leak. He hurriedly pressed the venom input, and then quickly returned to normal.
He opened the door and what he saw was a scene of excitement.
This was originally Gotham's largest prison: Blackgate Prison, but now it has completely become a military barracks.
A large number of guns and weapons were distributed in an orderly manner. This war machine, with the original Bane's men as its backbone and the prisoners of Black Gate Prison as its flesh and blood, was ready and ready to drink blood at any time.
"Where's the clown?"
He casually grabbed a soldier who was passing by in a hurry. When the soldier saw Bain, he immediately stood at attention. Several prisoners from Black Gate Prison behind him also followed him and made various non-standard standing at attention salute gestures.
After being pointed out the way by the soldiers, Bain turned around a few corridors and saw the clown.
"Hey, do you know that at that time I said, 'You must want to turn off the flashlight when I'm halfway up and let me fall to the ground!' Hahahahaha!"
The atmosphere at the scene was unexpectedly harmonious. Bain narrowed his eyes. A cruel and depraved villain like the Joker actually got along well with his soldiers.
interesting.
Of course he himself is not a good person.
He called the clown out of the room with a bottle of beer in his hand.
He pulled the Joker aside: "My ally, I have a very important task to entrust to you. In order to completely defeat Batman, we need to work together..."
"you must……"
"...When the time comes..."
After sending the clown away, Bane stood by the window.
The moonlight was bright, and he guessed that the moonlight must also be shining on Batman at the same time.
"It's time for a decisive battle."
He whispered to himself.
"I'm not done yet, Batman."
"We are destined to be entangled and fighting together for the rest of our lives."
