BATMAN FOREVER

ASILO ARKHAM

Where is the other guard?

He's in there watching you, sir.

Hell of a night, huh, doctor?

Hell is here.

Sr. Dent.

Counselor?

Harvey?

Two-Face?

THE BAT MUST DIE

Harvey Two-Face is still at large and is extremely dangerous.

In other news today, billionaire Bruce Wayne will give profit sharing...

to the employees of Wayne Enterprises' successful Electronics Division.

- Mr. Wayne! - Hello, Fred.

Your inspections are always a big deal.

Oh my God, it's him.

I am a winner!

I am a winner!

I am a winner!

I am a winner!

Bioremediation. Alternative fuel.

Mr. Wayne, look at the time.

We'd better go to Research and Development.

Sir...?

Oh...Bruce Wayne.

In flesh and blood.

No, that's my name. And you are?

Nygma. Edward, Edward Nygma.

You hired me personally.

Just like I tell everyone.

We've never actually met,

but his name was on the hiring receipt.

I kept it.

I'm going to need that hand back.

Sure, I'm sorry.

It's just that...

you are my idol.

Back to work, Edward.

And some people have tried to separate us.

- Back to work, Edward! - All right.

So what do you have in mind?

Precisely!

What do we have on our minds?

Brain waves!

The Future of Wayne Enterprises...

are the brain waves.

I must apologize, Mr. Wayne.

I finished this project today.

All good.

Here it is!

Voila!

My invention...

transmits any TV signal directly to the human brain.

Stimulating neurons, manipulating brain waves,

This device makes the audience feel like they are inside the TV.

Why be brutalized by a cruel world?

Did you say "manipulate brain waves"?

Try.

But...

someone like you would never need that.

Someone so...

smart, witty and...

charming.

I need funding for human trials.

Let me show you, please!

I want a full set of technical notes on this, okay?

We will be partners in this. Look at us, like minds!

Call my assistant. She will schedule an appointment.

That's not enough for me.

I need an answer now.

I think I deserve it.

I'm sorry, so the answer is no.

Mess with brain waves,

mind manipulation,

This raises many questions.

Sorry.

Keep up the good work. The factory is looking great.

Alright, guys. Back to work.

We'll discuss this later!

You should understand...

I will make you understand.

Lock.

Chair.

Alfred.

I saw the sign, sir.

Everything is ready.

Can I convince you to bring a sandwich?

I go through the drive-thru.

He is counting on the winged avenger to deliver him from evil,

isn't it, my friend?

Are you going to kill me?

Maybe yes, maybe no. The question divides us.

Are you a gamer?

Shall we decide by luck?

One man is born a hero, his brother is born a coward.

Babies go hungry, politicians get fat,

saints are martyred and addicts proliferate.

Why?

Why? Why? Why?

Come out!

Blind, stupid, simple, doubtful..

clueless about anything!

A stroke of chance...

The only true justice.

Let's see what justice has in store...

for you.

It's like the touch of God.

Espere, espere, espere.

Fortune smiles. Another day of wine and roses.

In your case, beer and pizza.

Take him away from here!

- But you said you would let me live! - It's true! And so it shall be.

Nothing better than live bait to capture the bat.

Triumphal entry.

Two-Face?

Two guards are dead.

He's holding a third hostage. We didn't see that coming.

But we should...

The Second Bank of Gotham--

On the 2nd anniversary of the day I arrested him.

How could Two-Face resist?

On Chase Meridian.

I asked her to come to Gotham to help. She specializes in--

Abnormal psychology, multiple personalities. I've read your work.

Enlightening...

Naive, but enlightening.

I'm flattered.

Not every girl makes a superhero's nightstand.

Can we negotiate with him?

He's keeping innocent people up there.

It won't do any good.

- He'll kill them without thinking twice. - I agree.

A trauma that creates another personality leaves the victim--

In a world where there is no longer right or wrong.

Exactly.

Like you.

I could write a great article about one

adult man who dresses like a flying rodent.

Bats are not rodents.

Really? I didn't know that.

You are interesting.

And call me Chase.

By the way, do you have a name, or should I call you a bat?

One explosion and the party begins!

Very punctual. Even for his own funeral.

Boys! Kill the bat.

Blow him up!

Open Sesame...

Going down?

It's a trap!

Attention citizens of beautiful Gotham!

When we open the safe, we will have everything we ever wanted.

Money to unleash a glorious deluge of chaos upon Gotham!

And of course, you my boy, dead!

Oh no, it's boiling acid!

For your ultimate pleasure, we will serve you the acid that made us who we are today!

- Hold on. - Yes!

Hoist!

Yes! You can hoist it!

- Give me your hand. - Don't let go!

I need to borrow this.

Hey, it's my hearing aid!

Thanks.

Never again!

Hold on.

To hold?

Get him out of there!

Take it easy with him.

You'll be fine. Just stay calm.

If the bat wants to play, we play!

That'll fix him!

Hold on, little bat!

Let's see...

try!

Yes, yes, yes! Oh happy day!

Goodbye forever to that pointy-eared night mouse!

Two-Face!

Hey, Two-Face!

You need help, give up.

It's too good to be true...

What's that deadly curve on your lip?

What's that murderous gleam in your eye?

You're a killer too! And you know it!

Feel the good taste of death!

Until later!

You're a killer too! And you know it!

Ok...

Now I get it!

“Many questions. There are many questions.”

"Lots of...."

I'll show you it works!

What the hell is going on here?

I said this project is shut down! I'm calling security!

Caffeine will kill you!

Rise and shine, my guinea pig.

What are you doing, Nygma? Untie me!

This won't hurt much.

At least, I don't think so.

What are you doing?

Nygma! If you touch that button I--

Which one, this one?

Losing resolution...?

More power!

Edward Nygma, get down!

You are the next participant in "Brainwashing"!

Let's see what's inside empty head number one.

What do we have for him, Johnny?

Stickley, I'm having a breakthrough!

And a collapse? Maybe!

I'm smarter. I'm a genius.

No, several geniuses.

A herd, a swarm,

a flock of freaking Freuds!

Guess what, Fred!

What is everything to someone,

and nothing for everyone else?

Your mind, baby!

And now mine vibrates with the power of yours!

"I'm sucking your IQ."

"Aspirating your cortex."

"Eating your brain."

What a trip!

What the hell happened?

A very surprising side effect.

While you were mesmerized by my 3-D TV,

I used your neural energy to become smarter.

Bruce Wayne was right!

You demented, bizarre, unethical monster!

It is indeed brain manipulation!

I'm reporting you to the authorities.

To the Council on Human Experimentation.

And the police!

You will be indicted,

tried and arrested!

And then he goes to a mental hospital to spend the rest of his life.

But first of all, you're fired!

Did you hear me? Fired!

I don't think so.

Fred, dear! You're fired...

or should I say...

eliminated?!

Surf's over, Big Kahuna!

Good shape, but landed badly.

You'll have to settle for bronze.

"Questions", Mr. Wayne?

Does my work raise a lot of questions?

Why doesn't anyone...

put you in your place?

Harvey Dent, former Gotham District Attorney

was marked by the underworld boss Boss Moroni.

Although Batman tried to save him...

Dent's brain damage turned him into a violent criminal

who blames Batman and vowed to destroy the Dark Knight.

Harvey Two-Face is extremely dangerous.

It was Commissioner Gordon.

There was an accident at Wayne Enterprises.

- Horrible way to die. - Yes.

The surveillance cameras are down here.

We'll drain the river, but with this current, I doubt they'll find the body.

Why?

Oh, why?

I can't believe it.

We worked together for two years.

He was like a father...

a brother...

or a cousin who always visits us.

Get a grip, Edward.

I found this in my cubicle.

You will see that the handwriting matches, as does the sentence structure.

I can't stay here anymore.

The memories....

This is last night's security log.

There's Stickley.

There is no doubt.

ABOUT MY SUICIDE. GOODBYE, CRUEL WORLD!

Definitely suicide.

Thank you very much for your help. We will keep in touch.

Stickley's suicide makes no sense. Full benefits to the family.

Our insurance does not cover suicides.

I know. Full benefits.

The columnist called 32 times. Who will she take to the Charity Circus?

I'll let you know. What's this?

I don't know.

I didn't see anyone.

"If you look at the numbers in my face,

you won't find 13 anywhere."

This is horrible.

What does this mean?

It's a riddle.

"Numbers on my face... 13."

1 to 12.

The answer is a clock.

Who would send a riddle?

She, Maggie...

is the real riddle.

E-NYGMA DO NOT OVERRIDE

Guess what I did today?

Wayne Manor...

See you soon.

Doctor Meridian, please. Thank you.

Eu...

I think I arrived early.

I have an appointment.

I'm Bruce Wayne.

Great.

Then you can buy a new door.

Sorry.

It looked like you were in...

you know, danger.

I prefer a healthy display of violence to a break-in.

So how can I help you?

Someone has been sending me love letters.

One for the office and one for my home.

Commissioner Gordon thought he could help me.

A clock.

Clock.

"Rip one off and scratch my head."

"What was once red is now black."

A match.

My opinion is that this writer is a nutcase.

"Crazy"?

Is this a technical term?

Patient may suffer from obsession syndrome

with potential homicidal tendencies.

Does this work better for you?

So what you're saying is...

This guy is totally crazy.

Exactly.

He is obsessed with you.

Your only way out may be to purge the fixation.

I am a matar.

I think you understand obsession better than you let on.

Do you have a thing for bats?

That's a Rorschach, Mr. Wayne.

An ink stain.

People see what they want to see.

I think the question would be

if you have a thing for bats?

Do you still play with dolls, doctor?

She is a keeper of Malaysia's dreams.

Some cultures believe it protects against nightmares.

It's nonsense to you, I'm sure.

You look so sad.

Do you need one?

Me? No. Why would I need to?

You're not exactly what you seem, are you?

What is the real reason for being here?

Damn, time's up.

That's usually my line.

Listen, I'd love to stay here and talk-

I would love?

I'm not so sure.

I need you to take off your clothes....

What did you say?

And put on a black dress.

Doctor, do you like the circus?

Ladies and gentlemen,

boys and girls of all ages,

welcome to the greatest show on earth.

Bruce, who is this beautiful young lady you are with?

Dra. Chase Meridian.

A doctorate? What kind of doctorate?

To Gotham Children's Hospital.

Let's thank our biggest donor: Bruce Wayne!

Ladies and gentlemen...

70 feet above the ground,

performing feats of unimaginable aerial skill...

the Flying Graysons!

I'm going climbing this weekend.

Would you like to go with me?

I would like.

I love climbing. I really do.

But...?

I met someone.

How fast. You just moved.

You could say he just

fell from the sky and...

bang!

I think he felt that too.

For sure.

What?

Who wouldn't feel it?

Richard, the youngest Grayson...

will perform or dreadful...

somersault...

without security...

of a network!

Let's go.

Ladies...

and gentlemen!

The circus's new management invites you to forget

this good, wholesome American fun

and join us in a celebration of absolute chaos

and true justice!

Bring it now! Now!

Tonight, a new number for your personal amazement.

We called it "Massacre under the Tent."

Pay attention to the central ring.

Inside this harmless globe

there are two hundred TNT bananas.

And in our innocent hand...

a remote detonator.

What the hell do you want, Harvey?

What, Mr. Mayor?

One simple thing: Batman.

Bruised, broken, bleeding,

in a word: dead!

Batman?

Who do we have before us?

The best of Gotham's elite...

prosperous....

and influential.

Surely some of you know who Batman is.

Probably one of you dandies is Batman!

You have two minutes!

Harvey!

I'm Batman!

Bruce!

We can stop them.

Go to the cable.

Take care.

Don't worry, Mom.

Get to work, boys!

Our kind of day.

Reach her, stop the count!

Oh my God.

Bruce, I'm glad you had him. He doesn't have anyone else.

He filled out papers all day. He didn't sleep or eat.

Welcome, Master Grayson.

I'm Alfred.

How are you doing, Al?

I have a room for you, but you might want to eat first.

Okay, I'm out of here.

How it is?

I heard you tell that police officer that if I stay here

would save a lot of social service and charity.

So, no offense, but no thanks.

Take care, Al.

Where are you going? The circus must be far away by now.

I'm going to find Two-Face.

Then I will kill him.

Killing Two-Face won't cure your pain.

It will only make things worse.

Spare me the lectures, okay?

I don't need your advice or your charity.

Nice bike.

Do you patronize a lot of biker bars, Bruce?

You're almost on empty.

Fill up at the garage. There is no gas station nearby.

The bomb is here.

Is this a garage or a car museum?

This is a 1917 Harley.

Indian Classic, fully restored.

Uma Vincent Black Knight.

They only made 100.

101, actually. She's my favorite.

And you have two.

But this one doesn't work.

The accelerator gets stuck.

Alfred is a very good mechanic, but...

they need a lot of work.

If someone fixed it

could keep one as payment.

Anyway, have a good trip.

I'm sure you'll get there safely.

Is the young master leaving?

Pity.

I'll throw this away. Maybe the dogs are hungry.

Hey, Al, wait.

Master Bruce?

Master Bruce?

Just like my parents. It's happening again.

A monster comes out of the night, a scream, two shots.

I killed them.

What did you say?

He killed them, Two-Face.

He killed the boy's parents.

No, no. You said, “I killed them.”

Take care of him.

Certainly, sir.

May I help you get settled in, Master Grayson?

No. Thanks, I won't be staying long.

Is that a "Robin", the bird?

My brother's thread broke once and I held it.

My father called me a hero.

I flew like a "Robin".

I have become a great hero.

But your father was right.

You're a hero. I can tell.

Throw it away. I won't need it anymore.

I think I'll put it right here.

Broken wings always heal.

One day, ''Robin'' will fly again.

I promise.

Commissioner Gordon?

He is at home.

I sent the signal.

What happened?

Last night on the bench, I noticed something about Two-Face.

Your currency. It's your Achilles heel.

It can be exploited.

I know.

Did you call me for this?

The Batsignal is not a beep.

I would like to say that my interest in you is...

purely professional.

Are you trying to get under my cover?

A girl doesn't live on psychosis alone.

It's the car, right? Girls love the car.

What's up with the wrong kind of man?

In elementary school: guys with earrings.

College: motorcycles, leather jackets.

Now...

black rubber.

Try a fireman. Less to take out.

I don't care about the work. Too bad I can't see behind the mask.

We all wear masks.

My life is an open book. Want to read it?

I don't mix in family picnics.

We could try. I'll bring the wine.

and you, your psyche shaken.

Straightforward, isn't it?

You like strong women.

I did my homework.

Or do I need some sticky vinyl and a whip?

I haven't had much luck with women.

Maybe you haven't found the right woman.

I saw the sign.

- What happened? - Nothing.

False alarm.

He is sure?

Women.

We drove, thank you.

The puzzle?

The player?

Captain Death?

Question mark man?

No no...

Thank you! Thank you very much.

The bat's stubborn refusal to die...

is driving us crazy!

Don't worry, dear.

You will kill him soon.

What is more,

I made your favorite dish:

sparkling champagne,

and a delicious salmon with quail eggs,

and a creamy lemon soufflé.

No, I made your favorite:

a charred wild boar's heart,

raw donkey meat,

and grain alcohol, pure and without ice!

Perfect!

Sweeties, you spoil us!

We have two desires of what to eat first.

What?

I hope you have enough for two.

Who the hell are you?

I'm a friend.

But you can call me...

The Riddler.

I'll call you dead man. How did you find us? Speak!

If I spoke, what would stop you from killing me, you outcast?

Speaking of which...

This will never heal if you don't stop poking around.

Let's see if you bleed green.

I don't think I'm the one you want to kill...

It's too easy for someone as powerful as you...

and you.

More Batman....

it's a challenge.

Kill the bat! Sounds cool.

But think about it? Bullets, a splash of blood and then what?

Bloody hands.

Post-homicide depression.

Why not humiliate him first?

Expose your weaknesses,

and when he is vulnerable...

crush it!

I see a...

glow in his left eye.

I can help you catch Batman.

If you...

spare my life for a few moments.

Thanks.

I just love what you've done with this place,

''Heavy Metal'' meets "House and Garden".

Beautiful.

It's so dark and gothic,

and repugnantly decadent.

But so bright and cheerful,

and conservative.

It's just like you!

But it's also your face!

Few are summer and winter at the same time, but...

with you it looks great.

What's your point, big guy?

Did you know that you have a serious self-control problem?

That's my point.

That's how I found you.

Let me demonstrate.

This is your brain in the Box.

This is my brain in the Box.

Anyone else feeling fried?

I'll have some more, thanks.

Oh, there's more...

But only the first time is free.

Here's the bargain:

will help me steal production capital

so I can put a Box on all the TVs in the city,

and become the smartest living thing in Gotham!

And in return....

Is everyone paying attention?

I'll help you solve the biggest riddle of all.

The mother of all riddles.

Who is it...

Batman?

You invaded our hideout.

You violated the sanctity of our lair.

We should turn his bones to dust.

However, your proposal is interesting.

So heads, we accept. And tails, we blow your brains out.

Here's a really good one.

No, no, no.

Here's a really good one!

CRIME IN PROGRESS

Just a little trim, Batman?

Don't shoot me, please.

Hey Two-Face, teach me how to punch someone!

It's very simple, my boy. Make a fist, take a push,

and impose yourself.

It looks fun.

Let me try, let me try!

Close your fist, take a step forward... assert yourself.

One hundred thousand two hundred and twenty....

One hundred and...

I lost count!

Hey, I started "The Dark Night".

Looks great, thanks.

Shall we take the bike and go for a ride?

Look, I appreciate your concern,

but we will not be friends.

You don't even know me.

I know you are suffering because of your family.

I know you blame yourself.

I don't know you, but we are the same.

I don't think so.

Do you think about your future?

The Wayne Foundation has an excellent scholarship fund.

He is my future, understand?

Don't let your love for your family turn into hatred for Two-Face.

This is very easy.

Look, no offense, but...

I don't think you have much to teach me.

Don't be so sure.

Leave it there, I'll take care of it.

I'm not used to being served, Al.

And in Gotham last night...

the green-clad bandit attacked again.

Took millions in diamonds, and no sign of Batman.

This criminal, with his habit of leaving riddles...

caused Gothamites to call him "The Riddler".

You and Batman have a common enemy.

This came in the morning mail.

"The eight advance despite the danger, protecting the king...

of the enemy attack."

Chess pawns.

Clock.

Matches.

Artificial objects made by hand.

Small in size, light in weight.

What is the connection?

With all due respect, that's why they call him the Riddler.

May I help you, Master Grayson?

Why is this the only locked door in this museum?

What do you have there?

Master Wayne's dead wives.

The homegrown talent. Come on.

Now you can be part of the action.

Nygma Tech brings you the fun of 3-D entertainment!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you...

my vision.

The Box in every home in America,

and one day, of the world.

Edward Nygma's 3-D Box...

became the fever of Gotham.

There was a riot last night at stores that sold out of stock.

There's hardly a home without The Nygma Tech Box.

Critics claim that The Box turns Gothamites into zombies.

But Edward Nygma just replies:

"That's what they said when TV was invented."

Master Dick!

Up here, Al.

Just so you know, sir.

Now!

Alert, intruder. Alert, intruder.

There's something for you. It's on the table.

I hope you like it.

Call it clinical intuition.

I thought your dreams needed changing.

My parents were murdered in front of me...

when I was a child.

I don't remember much of what happened, but...

memories come to me in dreams, glimpses.

But now there is a new element, which I had not seen before.

A red leather book.

And another thing...

I started having dreams even when I was awake.

Bruce, these are repressed memories.

Images of a pain that tries to come to the surface.

Damn, wait. I'll be right back.

BATMAN IS MORE OF A HINDRANCE THAN A HELPER

DIAGNOSIS FORM: SCHIZOPHRENIC

Is there any aspect of their death that you haven't faced?

You were very young.

I'll leave you two alone.

This is more than just bringing work home.

All good.

I find it fascinating.

Clinically.

Why does he do this?

It's as if he's cursed to penance.

What crime did you commit to deserve a life of torture?

It's more than...

a professional interest, right?

Bruce, are you jealous?

No, I can't be jealous of Batman.

I want to be close, but you won't let me.

What are you protecting me from?

Do you want to meet me?

Do you want to know who I am?

I think that...

we are all two people.

One in the light and the other in the shadows.

Anger...

violence...

passion.

Excuse me.

I'm kind of busy...

Sorry, but this is some bad news about Master Dick.

Is he okay?

I'm afraid I've been on a trip.

Did he run away?

Actually, he took the car.

Did you steal the Jaguar?

Not the Jaguar, the other car....

O Bentley?

No, sir...

the other car.

Come ride my love machine.

Wait a minute, that's not Batman.

What are you talking about?

This is Batboy!

He is not the bat.

Hey, let her go!

Who the hell are you?

I am Batman.

I forgot my clothes, okay?

Come on, run!

Batman doesn't kiss the girl?

- Go! - Thank you, you saved my life!

I could very well enter this superhero life...

Wretch!

It should have been you!

If you had revealed yourself in the circus,

they would still be alive!

If Bruce Wayne could give his life for his family,

he would give.

All I can think about is getting Two-Face.

He destroyed my life.

There on the street, today,

I imagined I was fighting with him,

even when I fought with you,

and the pain went away.

Do you understand?

Yes I understand.

Good.

You need to help me find it.

And when we find it,

I'm the one who's going to kill him.

So, are you willing to take a life?

If it's Two-Face's.

So it will happen like this...

You kill,

but your pain doesn't die with Harvey, it grows.

And he goes out looking for another victim in the night, and another...

and another one.

Until one day you wake up and realize

that revenge became his life.

And you won't know why.

You don't understand.

Your family wasn't killed by a maniac.

Yes, it was.

We are equal.

If we are equal, help me. Train me to be your partner.

No.

I can't.

You still have a choice.

Look, Bruce...

I'm part of this, whether you like it or not.

Tonight, Gotham society came to the launch

from the new Edward Nygma Box.

Thanks, Al.

The pleasure is mine, sir.

There will be dinner and dancing all night long.

on the glamorous terrace of the Ritz Gotham.

Mr. Nygma, what's it like to have your face on every magazine?

Edward, what's it like to be the most eligible bachelor in town?

Gotham needs to know!

Ah, there's Bruce Wayne!

Bruce!

He is very charming...

Why don't you look good in that suit?

Shut up. You're here for work.

- How is my mole? - Good.

What about the rumor that Nygma will buy Wayne Enterprises?

Nygma's stock is worth twice as much as Wayne's.

Is it outdated, Bruce?

Yes, yes and yes.

Bruce, old man.

The press wants to know what it's like to lose money, class,

and be surpassed in every way.

Hello, Edward. Congratulations.

Great party. Nice suit.

Witty. Very good.

And you are?

Chase.

And what a great catch you must be.

I'm Bruce Wayne, Miss...?

You can call me whatever you want.

Ladies and gentlemen...

the future!

The new Box offers interactive holographic costumes.

Edward, you are bold and a genius.

How do you create these images?

That, my dear, is my little secret.

Fully interactive holograms.

Just a high frequency wave directed to the brain

could create such images.

Yes, and you wish you had thought of that.

Don't be a sore loser.

Come in. Give it a try.

If you can introduce images into the mind,

what's stopping you from extracting images from it?

Too shy to try my machine?

Just be honest!

Can we dance?

Naughty.

Looking for something?

I was just wondering how to turn it off.

Expert.

Thanks.

The pleasure is mine.

Good evening, Mr. Wayne.

Relax.

Tell me your...

dreams.

Count me...

your fantasies.

Tell me your secrets.

Count me...

your deepest...

darker...

fears.

Relax, guys!

It's just old fashioned robbery!

We want the basics:

Money, jewelry, cell phones.

Hand over everything and no one will get hurt!

Emergency, Alfred.

Yes sir.

Take it easy, guys!

Just stay calm!

You're ruining my big party!

Are you crazy?

We're tired of waiting for you to bring us Batman.

Patience, you forked one.

Patience my ass! We want him dead!

And nothing attracts Batman more than a mess.

You could have prepared me.

We could have organized, planned and sold the film rights.

Your entry was good, his was better.

The difference?

Scene dominance!

Emergency, Alfred.

I may be harmed by this, sir.

Maybe they'll take me back to Buckingham Palace.

Alright, boys! Phase Two!

My house, midnight.

DANGER: GAS

Nothing like a gas crisis!

Why can't you just die?!

No.

What the hell did you think you were doing?

You have a serious gratitude problem.

I need a name. "Batboy", "Nightwing"...

I don't know, what do you think?

What is a good name for your partner?

How about "Dick Grayson, College Student"?

Screw you!

I saved your life. You owe me.

You are totally out of control

and will end up killing himself.

You are looking for a new partner.

No!

Whenever you go out at night, I'll be watching.

And wherever Batman goes, I'll be by his side.

How are you going to stop me?

I can't stop you.

Al, hang this next to the batsuit,

where it belongs.

And you still encourage him.

Vengeful young people need no encouragement.

They need guidance.

You should know the consequences of the life you have chosen.

Kenneth Frequency, GNN News.

Gotham City is hosting a show tonight

like the Old West, complete with gunfire in the corral.

But the shooting was in the subway system under construction.

From Toledo to Timbuktu, every demented bandit

comes to the city to battle Batman.

The result? Normal citizens collect taxes

for a now destroyed transportation system

that show nothing to the destroyed dreams of society

but they leave a question: Why?

In the Wild West, outlaws would come to town to see who could shoot the fastest:

Them or the sheriff?

At least the sheriff wore a badge.

All Batman wears is a mask.

Nobody asked you to fight crime,

and until he stops, every spiteful madman

will invade our border to see who is faster.

What will these weirdos destroy next?

A library? A museum? The city hall?

Our lives are in danger because of these crazy people in costumes.

Batman, if you really want to help Gotham City, hand over your cape.

Hang up the mask, put the batmobile in the garage.

In a word: retire.

I'm Kenneth Frequency.

They want me to retire, Alfred.

Your parents are avenged.

The Wayne Foundation contributes to anti-crime programs,

and the police take care of the villainy.

Why not retire, sir?

Even Chase says being Batman is a curse.

On the night of my parents' wake, Alfred,

I remember running, falling, the bat...

There was something else.

Or was it just the bat?

What was I running away from?

What is this all about?

A little boy afraid of a monster in the dark?

What else was there?

Maybe I didn't become Batman to fight crime,

but to fight my fear.

And instead, you became fear itself.

If this is true, then Batman is my enemy.

Can I give up?

Can I step out of the shadows?

You'll never know until you try.

Dr. Meridian seems like a good place to start.

I've never been in love before, Alfred.

Go to her.

Tell her how you feel.

She wants Batman, not Bruce Wayne.

Let the lady decide for herself.

Dr. Meridian speaking, hello?

Hello? Who is it?

Who am I, Alfred?

I don't know anymore...

Sorry.

I can't believe this.

I've imagined this moment ever since I saw you.

Your eyes...

your lips...

your body...

And now I'm with you,

but I wish it was someone else.

I think a girl has to grow up.

I met someone.

He is...

Well, he's not you.

I hope you understand.

I understand.

Good...

BATMAN SURVIVES SUBWAY SABOTAGE

That's what I said.

So, I invented a new trick:

How to map the human mind.

Want to see what our friend Bruce Wayne has in mind?

Guess this...

What kind of man has bats on his brain?

Go ahead, you can say...

You are a genius.

Oh, please!

So, from today onwards...

Batman is no more.

You can't just give up.

There are monsters out there. Batman needs to protect the innocent.

I have dedicated my life to helping strangers.

Faces I've never seen.

Good...

the innocent now have a face.

You can't tell me what I'm going to do with the rest of my life.

My father said that every man has a path.

My path goes to Two-Face.

You have to help me.

Harvey is found...

and kill him...

What will you do next?

Exactly.

Then you would be alone, like me.

No, you must let this pass.

Listen, Dick, I'm your friend.

I don't need a friend, I need a partner.

Two-Face needs to pay.

Please.

Chase is coming over for dinner. I'll tell her...

all.

Come with me, we'll talk.

- Good evening, Dr. Meridian. - Good evening, Alfred.

- Happy Halloween. - Happy Halloween to you.

I called you because there is something I want to tell you.

I also want to tell you something.

What I wanted--

Well, you speak first.

All good.

Trick or treat!

All my life I've been feeling...

attracted to a certain type of man.

The wrong type and...

Well, just look at my profession.

Since...

I met you, I...

My God...

why am i so nervous?

Don't eat too much, or you'll get sick.

Feliz Halloween!

What there was?

It's happening again.

Glimpses. The death of my parents.

Your memories are coming to the surface. Don't fight them.

I want to tell you something

that I never told anyone.

Everything is fine.

It's okay, I'm here.

I am here.

At my parents' wake...

the priest's words did not comfort me.

Of course.

On my father's desk,

the red book.

Your diary.

He had been writing since the day I was born.

And I would never write again.

At that moment, I knew...

that my life would never be the same.

I ran in the rain...

running away from anger...

and pain.

So, I fell.

I fell eternally.

The cave was monstrous.

It must have been there for centuries.

But,

in the dark shadows,

I saw...

It was coming towards me.

I felt scared, but only at first.

The figure in the dark was my destiny.

It would change my life forever.

He would use his image to create terror in those who did evil.

To ensure that what happened to me would not happen to others.

I would take revenge.

What are you trying to say?

Chase, I'm...

Trick or treat?

Mischief!

Remember the plan,

seek and capture.

No deaths!

That goes double for you.

If I were a superhero,

where would I hide?

Let me tell you!

Alert! Intruder!

Intruder alert! Intruder alert!

Shut up!

Now that's impressive!

Releasing a domesticated animal into the wild is always risky.

They may not adapt to the new environment.

Someone tell the soprano,

which is already in the fifth act.

"Alegrismo!"

No!

No deaths.

If you kill him...

WE ARE 5 LITTLE THINGS

he will learn nothing.

Master Bruce?

Master Bruce?

How are you, young man?

You haven't called me that in a while.

Old habits die hard.

Are you well?

Where is Chase?

I'm afraid they took Doctor Meridian.

Master Dick ran away.

The cave was destroyed.

And there's another riddle...

I'm coming, sweetie!

Did you like the jacket?

Protects me when I run at night.

Batman will come save me.

Batman you say?

Coming to save you!?

I am...

counting on it!

I remember my life as Bruce Wayne, but this...

it's a stranger's life.

You were shot in the head, sir.

There's something else...

Alfred, I'm sorry...

fear.

Master Bruce, son.

You gave up being Batman to save Dick Grayson.

And maybe you've given up too,

because he never understood why he became him.

My nightmare.

Your nightmares are there.

And until you face them, I fear you will spend your life running from them.

"Bruce insists on seeing a movie tonight.

Martha and I want to watch Zorro,

Bruce's cartoon will be for next week."

It's not my fault.

It's not my fault...

Master Bruce...?

I'm Batman, Alfred.

Batman.

What is that? Where is that coming from?

Leaf!

Who the hell is doing this?

The Riddler!

"We are five little things,

and on the tennis court we are."

In...

AElOU.

The five vowels.

Very ingenious, sir.

But what a clock, matches, pedestrians,

and vowels have in common? What do they mean?

Each riddle has a number. They arrived in this order:

13, 1, 8 and 5.

What do they mean?

Maybe letters of the alphabet?

Sure, 13 is M.

1 is "A", 8 is "H", and 5 is "E".

M-A-H-E.

Maybe 1 and 8 are 18.

18 is "R".

M-R-E.

How are you...

"Mr. E"?

- Mystery. - Synonymous with mystery?

Enigma!

"Mr. E. Nygma".

Edward Nygma.

Stickley's suicide was obviously computer-faked.

You are indeed brilliant, despite what people say.

Were all the batsuits destroyed?

All except the prototype with the sonar, which has not yet been tested.

Tonight is a good opportunity.

What do you suggest?

By sea?

Or by air?

How about both?

Who is your tailor?

I took the liberty, sir.

"R''? What does it mean?

Robin.

Riddler and Two-Face are a deadly duo.

I thought you might need some help.

Two against two is much fairer.

I don't promise not to kill Harvey.

"A man must go his own way."

A friend taught me this.

Not just a friend.

A partner.

He's not coming...

Turn this off.

Espere, espere...

Patch, patch!

A-14.

Got it!

Wonder!

B-12.

Got it!

My favorite vitamin.

The feeling of sinking...

I like it!

C-9!

You sank my battleship!

Who? Me?!

This is the captain speaking.

Return to your seats. There will be turbulence.

I got him!

I hope they find the little black box...

Now...

the real game begins.

Holy rusty metal, Batman!

The floor is all metal.

It's full of holes, all perforated.

Robin, wait.

The island is moving.

Looking for us?

For my mother!

My father!

My brother!

And that's for me.

Finally, justice is served.

Let us die.

You're just our type, kid.

See you in hell.

I'd rather see you in jail.

Good boy, good boy...

The Bat taught you very well.

It's noble.

Idiot...

but noble.

Guess this.

Guess that.

Who's afraid of the big black bat?

Enough with the tricks, Edward.

Very well then.

Let's play for real.

Let Chase go. This is between you and me.

And me...

and me!

You sucked Gotham's brainwaves dry,

and now he has invented a way to read their minds.

You bet!

Soon my Box will be on TVs all over the world...

Reading credit card numbers,

bank passwords,

sexual fantasies and some little lies!

Everything will come to my head.

Victory is inevitable.

If knowledge is power,

then a God...

about...

...EU!

Did I overreact? I can never tell.

Besides, I saw your mind. Freak!

Yours is the biggest riddle of all:

Can Bruce and Batman really coexist?

Let's find out today!

But first, let's meet the competitors.

Behind the curtain...

number 1...

To the fabulous Dr. Chase Meridian!

She likes climbing, getting her nails done,

and foolishly expects to be the love of Bruce's life.

And behind curtain number 2...

Batbuchudo's only partner.

This orphan acrobat

likes cartoons on Saturday mornings,

and dreams of one day staying...

naked with a girl!

And below the competitors

my favorite:

a watery grave!

Just one touch...

and 5 seconds later these two players will be

serving as food for the seagulls.

There is not enough time to save both of them.

What will it be, Batman?

Bruce's love,

or the Dark Knight's sidekick?

There is no way to save them both or myself.

This is a big death trap.

Jury?

I'm sorry, but the answer has to be a question.

But thanks for playing.

Wait.

I have a riddle for you.

For me?

Serious?

Tell me.

I see without seeing.

To me, darkness is as clear as day.

What am I?

Please!

You're blind as a bat.

Exactly!

What a disgrace!

Thanks!

So much heroism for nothing.

No more riddles, no more curtains.

Time for the final curtain.

Didn't you forget something?

Your currency.

You always have two opinions about everything.

You're right, Bruce.

Emotions are always the enemy of true justice.

Thank you, you have always been a good friend.

Why?

Why can't I kill you?

Many questions...

Poor Edward.

I had to save them both.

I'm Bruce Wayne and Batman.

Not because I need to be.

Now,

why I chose to be.

ASILO ARKHAM

Thank you for taking my call, Dr. Meridian.

Edward Nygma...

has been screaming for hours that he knows the true identity...

also Batman.

Edward?

Who is it...?

Doctor Meridian, Chase.

Do you remember me?

How could I forget?

Dr. Burton me disse...

that you know who Batman is.

I only say it if you say "please".

Edward, please.

Who is Batman?

I'm Batman!

Your secret is safe.

He's definitely crazy.

Crazy? Is that a technical term?

Look...

I won't need this anymore.

Thank you for giving me a new dream.

Don't work late.

Does this ever end, Alfred?

No, Dr. Meridian.

Not in this life.

My shoes are melting!
