(male #1) 'Why are we meeting here?'

'Everyone knows he's attracted to shadows.'

(male #2) Relax. The Batman thinks we split Gotham months ago.

He dismantled my operation brick by brick.

Took down all my men single-handedly.

- I can't even sleep nights. - 'Batman.'

[gasping]

I know. He ruined me, too.

But you can kiss those worries goodbye.

I, uh, found the solution to our problem.

A mercenary volunteered for some physical enhancements

in a secret lab deep in the Amazon.

Wild, eh?

- Yeah. We got the money. - We're in.

Gentlemen, meet Bane.

Eh...are you sure this guy can take down the Batman?

Just because he wears a mask

doesn't make him some kind of Superman.

There is much more to me than meets the eye.

[beeping]

Neat!

[electricity crackling]

Master Bruce?

Master Bruce!

Oh!

Alfred!

Your nachos, sir.

Let's get that bandaged.

Merely a flesh wound.

I do believe my military medical training

has equipped me to deal with such injuries.

And that would be for..

Don't know yet, but it sure is cool.

If only the engineers at Wayne Industries

knew their cutting edge tech was being used to assist the Batman.

If only we could build a cleaning robot

to assist the Batman's butler.

[instrumental music]

[tires screeching]

Construction? This time of night?

[explosion]

[groans]

Uhh!

[groaning]

Give a..

[indistinct radio chatter]

Uh!

[electronic beep]

[Batwave beeping]

The Batwave!

[dramatic music]

[ramp lowering]

[tires screeching]

Bennett, we have an armored car assault

by an unknown masked assailant.

- Masked? - Hmm.

Maybe the Batman decided

being a vigilante didn't pay.

[bats squawking]

[tires screeching]

The money's still here. I've been baited.

(Bane) 'The Batman, I presume.'

The masked look must really be catching on.

Defeat me, and I will allow you to remove it.

Hate to disappoint, but I don't fight for sport.

Then fight for your life!

Yah-ah!

Uhh! Aah!

[thud]

[groans]

Talk to me. You can start with name and motive.

I am Bane.

The last opponent you will ever face.

[growling]

thud

[glass shattering]

Lights out, Batman.

Go on, flee!

[chuckles]

Ahh!

[instrumental music]

Yah!

[groaning]

Uhh!

Wah!

Uhh!

[indistinct radio chatter]

Take the money! Take it!

[muffled screaming]

Pocket change.

With the Batman gone, all Gotham is mine.

[instrumental music]

[groaning]

Alfred.

Need pickup.

[vehicle approaching]

He's still here.

Check it out.

[dramatic music]

- What happened? - Big guy! Wears a mask!

- The Batman? - Bigger!

Threw the Batman through that wall!

Okay, if a dude were buff enough

to toss bats through bricks.

There's no way the Batman could have walked away from it.

So, where'd he go?

[groans]

plink

(Bennett) 'Dispatch, requesting all-points bulletin'

'on masked suspect in vicinity of Rogers and Engelhart.'

Be advised, perp is extremely dangerous.

And send units to all area hospitals.

We're looking for any new admissions

with multiple fractures.

If we find the patient, we find our Batman.

'Come on. Let's secure the scene.'

[groans]

[engine revving]

What do you say we have a look?

Could be license and registration

in the glove box.

Oh, dear.

[groans]

Wait!

Uh! How'd it do that?

[instrumental music]

[groans]

We're nearly to the hospital, sir.

Shan't be a moment.

Merely a flesh wound.

Oh, no, I may have been a field medic in the military

but I'm hardly capable of..

- Alfred.. - You have broken bones!

You may be bleeding internally!

You need serious medical attention, Master Bruce.

No...hospitals.

I'm afraid this is out of your hands, sir.

You see? We're already..

[indistinct radio chatter]

[sighs]

(male #2) 'Hey, what's this I hear about the cops'

combing the hospitals, looking for the Batman?

I thought this guy was supposed to solve our problems.

If I did not break all the Batman's bones

I guarantee you, I broke his spirit!

[labored breathing]

Oh. Being summoned to pick you up

has never been a good omen, Master Bruce.

[bell tolls]

clack

[door clangs shut]

Someone's here for you, son.

Oh, Master Bruce, I am so very sorry.

I can never replace them..

but I promise you, I will never, ever leave your side.

Please, Master Bruce..

'Be strong.'

[instrumental music]

Uhh! Bane takes whatever he wants.

And never cleans up after himself.

[tires squealing]

- Here we go. - Detectives?

Have there been any breakthroughs?

Rest assured, we're doing everything we can.

What about the Batman?

It's rumored he hasn't been seen or heard from

since this Bane came on the scene.

We're operating under the assumption

that the Batman is no more.

There you have it.

Gotham PD seems no closer

to stopping this tremendous threat.

It's been three weeks since this crime spree began

and the juggernaut known as Bane remains at large.

Back to you, Jim.

The police can't handle Bane.

Neither, apparently, could the Batman.

Ahem!

Do try and rest, sir.

I've spread word you'll be on holiday

for some time, so no one should come bothering.

Alfred.

Gotham needs the Batman.

Sir, I don't want to speak out of turn

but if Gotham thinks the Batman is no more

perhaps it is for the best.

Perhaps Bruce Wayne can heal

and finally get on with his life.

[instrumental music]

Your favorite, sir, enchiladas mole.

[door whirs]

[grunts]

And you are doing what?

What you suggested, Alfred.

Getting on with my life.

Interesting interpretation, but know that

if you intend to face this Bane again, sir

you may need to find another

butler slash physician slash getaway driver.

[grunts]

I understand, Alfred.

[Bruce grunting]

[groaning]

Oh, very well, then.

Let's get to work, shall we?

[rumbling]

[alarm blaring]

(man on radio) 'All units, disturbance at 437 Adams.'

- 'Masked intruder on premises.' - This is Yin.

I'm in the neighborhood. I'll check it out.

Yin, Bennett. Thought we were off-duty.

- 'Bane didn't get that memo.' - Wait for my backup.

(Bennett on radio) 'Yin! Yin, do you copy?'

[alarms ringing]

[explosion]

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

[elevator bell dings]

Gotham PD! Put your hands in the air!

[grunting]

[groaning]

Goodnight, detective.

[elevator rumbling]

[elevator bell dings]

Huh!

thud

You did survive.

(Alfred) 'Master Bruce, how are things in the Batbot?'

(Batman) 'According to Batwave, all systems go.'

[growls]

Ah!

[bell dinging]

Uhh!

[coughs]

Alright, stairs it is.

[grunting]

Aah! Uhh!

[grunting]

Uhh!

Yahh!

Yay!

Yin!

Need an ambulance, 437 Adams

and every available unit for backup.

The Batman!

Dispatch, cancel backup. Just the ambulance.

Uhh!

[zapping]

thud

Uhh!

[groans]

You cannot... beat...Bane.

[chuckles]

I left you with some dignity last time

but now I will unmask you

'then break the rest of your bones.'

[screaming]

[electrical sizzling]

Whew!

(Batman) 'Alfred, need pickup.'

(Alfred) 'Oh! Right away, sir.'

(male #3) 'Bane was found unconscious at the scene'

amid signs of a struggle, but who Bane struggled with

remains a mystery.

Back to you, Jim.

So, the Batman returns.

Hard to tell, there was something..

...different about him.

You know, that doesn't change things.

[sighs] I know.

[Batwave beeping]

Ow!

Will you be requiring the Batbot, sir?

I just need to watch those sudden moves.

Jolly good then, sir.
