Narrator: Previously on beware the batman...

We both want the same thing.

The batman, dead or alive.

Preferably dead.

We should be a team, you and I.

Batman: You have a good eye, anarky.

The museum's lost van gogh sketches are priceless.

I never pegged you as an art thief.

Because he's not.

He didn't steal the van gogh sketches.

No.

But I did invite the scu to join us.

(sirens wailing)

He set us up again!

Isn't it amazing... After all we've been through,

We can still surprise each other.

Surrender and you won't be harmed.

Resist and you will be tranquilized, and netted like animals.

Your call. You know which option I'd prefer.

Decisions, decisions, batman.

Will you do what's right?

Or what's necessary?

Any chance we can do this peacefully?

No need for anyone to get hurt if we can avoid it.

Don't worry about us. Worry about your men.

(grunting)

Ahhh!

(grunting)

(engines revving)

Somebody, get me out of here!

Reporter (on tv): Mayor grange made her leave of absence permanent today...

Officially resigning during a press conference, this morning.

The move triggers a special election to name a new mayor in the coming months.

District attorney harvey dent remains the front-runner. But, for how long?

Today's viral footage of a botched attempt to catch batman.

Is yet another embarrassing episode for dent, that has his poll numbers slipping.

It's a temporary dip.

Is it, harvey?

You were wise to accept my offer of collusion.

But batman is making you and your private army look like...

To borrow a phrase, a confederacy of dunces.

Harvey, my friend...

It's time for a game changer.

Bruce: What do you think? Do you think it's working?

Based on body language? No.

I've seen more intimate depositions.

True. But, they have a lot in common.

That's why I set them up. Maybe they just need time to warm up.

So, you've spent time overseas?

Uh, yes. You?

Yes.

Hmm.

(phone ringing)

It's mine. Message from dent.

Duty calls. I'm afraid I have to go.

Can I drop you off somewhere?

Sure, yep. Anywhere works for me.

At least they're leaving together.

Only a matter of time before the wedding invitations go out.

I still think they're a good match.

Bruce wayne, billionaire matchmaker.

Here's a question for you.

Are you more concerned about their match, or ours?

Point taken. Name your punishment.

Ooh, let's see.

Well, I haven't been dancing in years.

Dancing, it is.

(smooth jazz begins to play)

Smooth as it gets, mr. Wayne.

Thanks. It's all downhill from here.

(screaming)

Sorry to interrupt dinner, ladies and gentlemen.

But if you hand over all your valuables...

We'll be on our way before your veal gets cold.

Hold on a second, boys.

Forget the trinkets. We just hit the jackpot.

Bruce wayne.

I'd say you're worth 20 million in ransom.

Maybe more.

When I say "down," get down.

- Bruce, no. Don't. - Trust me.

(glass shattering)

(grunting)

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Wow. Batman has some competition.

Last night, gotham city entered a new era of justice.

A robbery was thwarted by a new member of the special crimes unit.

His name is deathstroke.

As you can see, gotham finally has a true champion.

And on his first night on duty he saved gotham's favorite son...

Bruce wayne.

(applause)

I'd like to thank harvey dent's team for their timely intervention.

Gotham's criminals now have another reason to change careers.

And they had better move fast.

Rounding up gotham's criminals is top priority.

Starting with batman. Let's get some pictures.

How does a guy named deathstroke keep such a low profile?

It's like he doesn't exist.

Or, he erases all evidence of his existence.

Everyone leaves footsteps.

I'll reach out to my mi6 contacts.

They'll turn up something. They always do.

I still think the only way to figure this guy out is to find him.

We don't need to find him. He'll find us.

All the merchandise is on board.

Money first. Then, we talk merchandise.

What if they pay half up front?

No. If it's a setup, they'll be out half the money.

Good point. Deal's off.

Is that it?

Missed a few. Freighter deck.

Got them. Four, total.

You aim left, I'll aim right.

Wait. Is it my birthday?

On three. One... Two...

(grunts)

Thanks for the assist.

Don't thank me, yet. You're next.

We're on the same side.

No. You're a hero. That's your first weakness.

She's the second.

Nothing personal. But you're just leverage in this equation.

(grunting)

(beeps)

(grunts)

Ha!

(background chatter)

(dinging)

Batman: Dr. Kirk.

(gasps)

I need your help.

There's still mild brain swelling. But she's breathing on her own. That's good.

When can I move her?

She needs to stay for observation.

More than anything, she needs rest.

She's not safe here.

No one in this hospital is safe, as long as she's here.

Katana wasn't admitted as a patient.

No one knows she's here.

I'll take care of her, myself. And I'll make sure it stays that way.

Thank you, dr. Kirk.

Get whoever did this and we'll call it even.

Alfred: My sources agree.

Deathstroke is no hero. He's an elite mercenary.

A true pro, who shouldn't be underestimated.

And he'll do whatever it takes to achieve his objective.

Dent doesn't have the connections to bring in a world-class phantom.

Someone else is pulling the strings.

I have a lock on dent's phone. He's at city hall.

(sirens wailing)

We've started with a bang. But, we need to talk about the future.

Indeed. A future free of bats.

You have to be more careful, deathstroke.

We can't have another incident like the one at the pier.

That's a pr nightmare.

Pr is your problem. I'll do whatever it takes, until it's done.

He's your guy. Talk some sense into him.

Gladly.

Shall we do this the easy way?

Or, the fun way?

(grunting)

You can't kill me. I'm too important.

I couldn't agree more.

(grunting)

You hired deathstroke, and he turned on you.

Psychopaths. You just can't trust them.

You'd think I'd know that, by now.

But, I'm a sucker for crazy.

Anyhoo. It leaves quite a quandary for you, bat buddy.

Which is?

You can fight one enemy, me.

Or, you can rescue another enemy, dent.

Deathstroke has him. For how long, who can say?

So the question is, what kind of hero are you?

(fluttering)

Mmm, that's a good bat.

(gasping)

Leave.

(exclaiming)

(muffled mumbling)

Yes, mr. Dent. What's on your mind?

You'll never get away with this.

I already have. The police, your precious scu, nowhere in sight.

Why are you doing this?

I was hired to neutralize batman.

By me! I hired you.

Why am I here?

I thought that was clear, mr. Dent.

You're the bait.

(yells)

(rope creaking)

(gasping)

(engine roaring)

You're tracking dent's phone on the sky tram? What's he doing there?

Not sightseeing, I'm afraid.

Reporter (on tv): Though the identity of the hostage remains unconfirmed...

Multiple reports now indicate it's gotham district attorney, harvey dent.

An operator like deathstroke will be expecting your attack.

Then I'll have to do the unexpected.

Forget gotham pd, chuck. How close can you get us to that sky tram?

You take the heat and I'll get you close enough to dance with that dope on a rope.

Good answer, chuck.

Room for one more?

I thought my job was tough.

You picked a good day to call in sick, katana.

(moans)

Chuck: We're almost within range.

Can I at least get a sound bite?

Fine. Can I ask a question off the record, then?

Why rescue dent? He's trying to get rid of you.

I protect all the citizens of gotham. No matter how misguided they may be.

Go time. Ready when you are.

Using a news chopper as cover was clever.

Yet predictable. And unnecessary, of course.

I welcome you with open arms.

Is that what you told dent?

This isn't about dent. It's about you.

You got two choices. I press a button...

Dent dies.

Or kill me and save dent.

Either way, tonight is the end of the hero known as batman.

You're not the first to predict my end.

And you won't be the last.

(grunting)

(gasps)

(grunting)

You won't concede.

Nor will you.

(beeping)

(yells)

(beeping)

(screaming)

(panting)

Tonight is the end for none of us.

Wishful thinking, batman.

No!

(yelling)

Dent: I appreciate what you did. I do.

But this doesn't change anything between us.

You're still a vigilante, you're breaking the law...

And it's my job to uphold the law.

(phone ringing)

Anarky: Hello, harvey.

My congratulations to you both on surviving a most horrendous ordeal.

I'd say a celebration is in order.

But I imagine batman is consumed with torturing himself.

Over deathstroke's demise.

Poor batman. Don't be too hard on yourself.

You were saying something about upholding the law?

(engine roaring)

Reporter (on tv): District attorney, harvey dent, is safe today.

After a harrowing standoff on the gotham sky tram.

Batman hitched a ride with the sky watch news team.

To access the sky tram undetected and rescue dent...

An official who has denounced batman as a criminal.

I protect all the citizens of gotham. No matter how misguided they may be.

Misguided or not, dent is reviving his anti-hero agenda in the wake of the crisis.

And enjoying a poll bump, as gotham's mayoral race ramps up.

I hesitate to use the word "hero," when describing myself...

But if it hadn't been for me, putting my life in danger for the city...

Deathstroke's true nature might never have been uncovered.

District attorney dent, weren't you the one who hired deathstroke?

We're out of time. No more questions.

She told batman it was off the record.

And you believed her?

See, that's why you need me back out there with you.

Deathstroke chose his fate. There's nothing else batman could have done.

I know, alfred.

Batman isn't to blame.
