Bain hung up the phone.
Based on the information from the Red Hood, the Superman in front of him should be completely disguised as Batman.
Batman's hat trick was very good and he successfully confused him, but this time, he was the one waiting for work.
He reviewed it repeatedly in his mind. In these days, he conducted many tests on these people under his command.
Needless to say, Red Hood, as the person to whom he entrusts many things, cannot and will never be Clayface.
He tried several times, pretending to accidentally splash water on the other person's face, and finally achieved satisfactory results.
In the end, he even stopped pretending and directly asked the other party to take a blood test, which also confirmed the other party's identity as a living person.
A villain like Atomic Skull, who constantly exudes radioactive nuclear energy, has no possibility of disguise. As for the live wires, it was a bit troublesome. The other party naturally hated liquids, so it was not easy to convince her to agree to contact with water or have her blood drawn.
But fortunately, his general, Red Hood Jason, stepped in to convince the other party, so that he did not have to use some clandestine means. Hmm... although Red Hood's methods are not very fair.
What, how did he know that?
When Red Hood patted his chest and said, "Leave it all to me", in order to prevent the two villains from joining forces to fool him, Bane followed quietly. It turned out that Red Hood's method was to use sleeping clothes and live wires, okay? , this is very simple and crude.
All in all, during these days, he eliminated the suspicion of his subordinates one by one, and the remaining characters, such as toy people, etc., he repeatedly confirmed that each one was a living person and there would be absolutely no problem!
At the same time, he put them all under round-the-clock surveillance to ensure that there was no possibility of any subcontracting.
Under such circumstances, he actually found Clayface who tried to sneak in several times. Many of them were discovered by Red Hood first - although he also knew very well that the clone who destroyed Clayface had a negative impact on the opponent's true body. It doesn't work in the slightest, but that's not enough to make people ignore the Red Hood's achievements.
He fell in love with this awesome guy more and more. He was sharp, evil, and was born to be a villain.
Moreover, he and Jason talked many times. When talking about Batman, the resentment in the other person's sentences was real and passionate. His criticism of Batman was profound and philosophically insightful, full of utilitarianism and virtue theory. All the extreme ideas you can find.
Sometimes, Bane can't stand some of Batman's behaviors and can only say a few words about hypocrisy. However, the Red Hood can quote a lot of arguments from his stronghold, starting from Hegel. To Kant, Batman's morality is attacked in all aspects, which makes Bane amazed.
Bain knew philosophy. In prison, he taught himself many subjects, including but not limited to natural science and geography, and of course philosophy. It was precisely because he understood that he was able to understand how intelligent and difficult the Red Hood's statements were.
Sometimes Bane even has some illusions. The other party's criticism of Batman's behavior is so meticulous and the language is so philosophical, as if the other party has been preparing to debate Batman for many years.
Such an aspiring young man who is thoughtful and capable is his good helper against Batman!
Bain has absolute confidence in his judgment ability - he, Bain, is not a fool, and trust in a person cannot appear out of thin air.
In fact, it was because the other party's emotions and criticism of Batman were so real, and his trust was also based on these facts.
To be honest, Red Hood's failure surprised him a little. He thought they would be finished, but he never thought it would be so fast, as fast as if a mole had exploded them.
But all the inner ghosts have been eliminated by him, so there won't be any, which means... haha.
Bain cut off his arrogance in an instant. He is a person who has the ability to control himself. He often warns himself not to weaken his judgment due to arrogance.
But as far as the current situation is concerned... I can only say that it is expected.
After all, if the so-called "Superman" in front of him is Batman in disguise, then the Batman over there with the Red Hood is Superman in disguise.
As for those superhuman villains, all of them were defeated by Superman. Even if the rabble gathered together, they would still be a rabble. Ms. Siwa did not have the authority to command these people, and Bane did not need it.
In such a scattered battle mode, a complete defeat is foreseeable.
But to be honest, why hasn't Blake come as he expected? Baine stared at the battlefield below.
Bombshell, Eggman Brothers, Reaper, Big Tent, and several other second- and third-tier villains in Gotham are absolutely no match for Batman pretending to be Superman.
They're almost defeated now, why hasn't Black shown up yet? Logically speaking, he would never let this bet go.
Bain suddenly felt a headache. He quickly pressed the button on the back of his hand, and more venom gurgled into his body from the jar behind his back, greatly alleviating his withdrawal reaction.
Bain's eyes were dark.
In prison, because he was unable to come into contact with venom, he fell into a long period of depression, which led to an all-round decline in physical fitness and brain. However, it was also during this period that he actually quit smoking through his own exercise. venom.
But he recovered quickly after he came out. He needed the power of the venom, and when he came back with the venom, of course there was also the withdrawal reaction after using it.
This is another hidden reason why he wants to control Black. He needs a telepath to help him eliminate the negative effects of Titan's venom, so that he can continue to abuse the venom without any scruples to suppress the amber gold in his body and the power of all things. The balance between green and decaying black further enhanced his strength.
He vaguely felt that as long as he could eliminate the side effects of lowering his IQ after the Titan venom withdrawal reaction, and infinitely increase the amount of use, he might be able to further master the three powers in his body, reaching the point where he can use his fingers like an arm. Unexpected changes.
(Note: In the original plot of "Batman V3", the telepath who helped Bane suppress the side effects of Titan's venom was another super villain [Psychic Pirate], here it is Blake. The result is the same.)
The venom was injected gurglingly, and under the effect of the super steroid, Bain suddenly and inexplicably had an idea in his mind:
Luther betrayed Black to him, so easily? So is there a possibility...
Did Luther also betray him to Black?
If he did that, then...
A branch suddenly sprouted from half of Bain's body, and then began to grow lushly and uncontrollably. That is the restlessness of the green of all things, a spontaneous resistance to the Titan's venom.
Bain expressionlessly broke off half of the branch and threw it on the ground, then stopped the excessive injection of venom.
He still had an uphill battle to fight, and now was not a good time to fight inwardly.
As for Luther's conspiracy...
Take it one step at a time.
Anyway, he has now gathered a considerable force, and there is not even a Clayface among them.
No one can ignore their power. At that time it will be nothing more than a matter of seeing the tricks and taking advantage of them.
"Dr. Klein, it's time to take action."
He turned his head and said to the scarecrow standing in the shadows.
"Remember your promise, Bane. Unlike Superman's idiot villains and those simple-minded, honor-brainwashed minions below, asking us to take action is not something that can be solved casually. "
"Hurry up, Klein, I thought we had a clear discussion. Stop obsessing about getting more territory. You are like a cat who starts discussing how to divide the spoils before even catching a fish."
Bain didn't even look at him. The big man sat on the edge of the rooftop and narrowed his eyes.
"If we can't solve Batman, all our grand plans for the future of Gotham will be in vain. Why do you think I put down my status and cooperate with you?
When it comes to dealing with Batman, our goals are exactly the same. Prepare your fear gas trap and activate it at the right moment. We need that. "
The Scarecrow snorted: "We have never been good friends, and I don't forget that time in the Court of Owls."
He paused:
"But at least this time we can still work together. Your plan better work, Bane."
Not far away, the female bat flapped its wings and landed on the rooftop: "The electromagnetic effect in the air is ready."
She is the wife of the super villain Man-Bat. Like her husband, she used the Man-Bat potion. So, like her husband, this potion created an evil-faced beastly personality in her body.
And unlike her husband who gradually defeated the human-bat personality, at this time she was in the stage of being fully controlled by the beast personality.
She lay on the rooftop and told Bain: "Your rotten black creations make the red of all living things in my body scream."
"But it can also suppress Batman's dinosaur transformation. Targeted attack."
"But we are clearly facing Superman."
"No, we are facing Batman." Bane said firmly:
"My judgment is not wrong."
"And Woman Bat, I believe that you, who have permanently turned into a bat, will not be greatly affected by this level of suppression."
"Okay." The female bat was a little silent, but she still accepted it. She hung herself upside down on the edge of the rooftop with some displeasure:
"Let me just hang by myself for a while, and then call me when the fight starts."
Killer Moth followed Woman Bat to the edge of the rooftop. He is a technologically equipped villain: "The Red Hood and the electro-inductive device made with living wires are actually quite technical."
He said: "The effect is far beyond my expectation. The air is now filled with countless charges. Any nanorobot encountering such charges will only be destroyed like a mosquito hitting an electric mosquito swatter."
He said: "But to be honest, this kind of thing is completely a special effect method to deal with Batman, and it has no use against Superman? Bane, are you sure..."
"I am sure."
"Okay, you have the final say, boss." Killer Moth shrugged.
After a while, the last villain, Dr. Phosphorus, climbed onto the rooftop from behind.
"The construction of the roadblocks blocking the Batmobile at the intersection has been completed. As long as the Batmobile dares to hit it, it will cause a violent explosion." Mr. Skeleton said while complaining:
"But to be honest, I think it's obvious that we're dealing with Superman. Bane, have you been brainwashed by the venom?"
Bain didn't bother to argue.
He raised his wrist to check the time, and then looked at the many powerful second- and third-tier villains below who were all beaten to their knees by Superman with his bare hands.
"Black won't show up." He said sullenly, "So it's up to us to defeat Batman on our own."
"It's Superman." Mr. Skeleton, who was glowing with green flames, corrected him.
Bane refused to listen.
"launch!"
Killer Moth took out a remote control and pressed it.
In an instant, everyone felt an electric feeling all over their bodies.
Then each of them took out a gas mask and put it on their face. Thick yellow smoke came out from several surrounding blocks, enveloped the entire battlefield, and quickly spread. Bombshell and the others took a sip and immediately howled in fear.
The power of the blackness of decay...
Bombs and roadblocks blocking cars...
One after another, all of Batman's back tricks were arranged in just a few minutes. Bane jumped directly from the rooftop. A green vine stretched out from his back, carrying him like a spider. He fell to the ground dangling like a hero.
Several other villains also showed their special abilities and landed on the battlefield one after another.
"You...Bane!"
He saw half of Superman's body disintegrating into black sand. Bane guessed that the reason why it was not black mist must be because of the electricity in the air.
An excited smile appeared on his face under the mask.
"You actually targeted me..."
He saw a look of pain on Superman's face, then blurred into a ball, and then, as expected, turned into Batman's head.
"Holy shit, Bane, your guess was right!"
He heard Dr. Phosphorus' surprised voice: "He is indeed not Superman, but Batman!"
Bane put his hands behind his back, tapped his chin, and then the villains under his command rushed forward.
That's how it should be, he stands back and watches the villains who follow his lead surround Batman, and then it's up to him to carry out the final act.
This is how things should have developed.
The sound of violent hammering could be heard endlessly.
He saw Batman trying to turn into a big green dinosaur like he once did, but the dinosaur head only appeared on his head for half a second before disappearing immediately;
He saw Batman trying to turn into that muscular man with venom stuck in his back, but only half of the venom tank appeared before a look of fear immediately appeared on the other man's face, and before he could complete the transformation, it was immediately filled with air. The fear toxin in it interrupts;
He saw the opponent being punched in the face by Dr. Phosphorus, and the flames ignited the opponent's mask, making him fight desperately...
This made Bain's face darken, and he remembered the time when his mask was burned off by a skeleton in Arkham Asylum...
But now Dr. Phosphorus is his subordinate, and it is Batman who is under siege, and the offensive and defensive momentum has been reversed.
Woman Bat's attack... Killer Moth's energy gun beam...
Finally, Batman fell to the ground.
Bane walked up to the other party and looked down at the seriously injured Batman. He felt the blood rush from the soles of his feet to his heart, and then to the top of his head.
He tried his best to keep his voice from shaking and his hands behind his back from shaking.
Excited heart, trembling hands, steady voice, the villain’s lines:
"It's too easy. It makes me a little bored."
Bain paused, and then took a deep breath. His voice seemed a little dull under the breathing mask, like an evil ghost in hell, or like a child who grabbed a lollipop.
He held Batman high in the air.
finally.
Finally the moment has arrived.
"I could have killed you."
"I could have killed you, but death would only silence your sorrow and end your pain. Therefore, I just want to simply interrupt your damn back!"
Immediately afterwards, he knocked Batman heavily on his knee.
Click!
Only a crisp sound of bone cracking was heard. It's like the sound of rice cakes being fried on the iron plate, and it's like every young kneecap flying to the end of the world.
The next second, Bain felt like he had hit a steel plate.
