Chapters
All remaining units, final evacuation in T-minus 20 minutes. Is it true they moved a consignment of chemicals offsite? Yeah, I saw them loading up the choppers. I thought we were The Batmobile can't auto-navigate to this area. I'll need to bring it in manually. You want to off this guy? Yeah, but we can't. Orders say to keep him alive. Why? Who knows? Collateral, maybe. What, this guy? Yeah, good point. Maybe he just wants to pull the trigger on this. The only way to rescue the worker is to pull down that wall. I need to get the Batmobile into the compound. Not kill him. This guy served his purpose. What's the point in keeping him alive? It's a waste of resources. I still don't get why we need an army this size. I thought this was all about Batman. The hell? Wall's coming down! Lock them up! Hey, Batman, help me out! Thank God you're here. We're in! Go, go, go! Run out! Keep your guns trained on him. If even looks like he's planning to leave that room, open fire. Oh, and avoid the bat symbol. It's a, uh, it's a little trick. It's where his armor's the strongest. Aim for the weak spots of the shoulders first, then coordinate fire at the points where the plates meet. Please, you say something. Leave him out of this. Always defending the weak and the helpless. It's what I like about you— predictable. And that's why we're gonna win. We know your move before you do. We know how you think. Do you know what I'm thinking right now? Of course you're thinking, who the hell is this guy? No, I'm just trying to decide which one of you I'm going to take out first. I just thought we're both on the same page here. I fully We fully intend to kill you, but first we're going to make you suffer. We have the target. Just say the word and I'll end this now. Gotham will be ours. You don't understand. There are no second chances with this guy. Don't come any closer. He's going nowhere. Keep him covered. If he tries anything, we drop him. What's happening? What the hell are we waiting for? So you're gonna let me go now, right? It's okay, you're safe. You're too late. We're both already dead. You know about the bomb he's building, right? Where is he? I heard him saying he's in the central mixing chamber. You know what that means. He's getting ready to release the toxin. I've seen what that stuff does to people. If that gas gets out there, it will be chaos. I won't let that happen. Wait by the Batmobile. I'll get you out of here. Jim, I've rescued the second worker. I'm coming to you. What about Scarecrow? He's in the central mixing chamber. As soon as the technicians are safe, I'm going after him. Is it as bad as it sounds? Worse, Jim. But I'll stop him. You have my word. Hold tight. I'll get you to Commissioner Gordon. Oracle, Scarecrow is preparing the bomb in the central mixing chamber. I need a way in and I need it now. I'm working on it, but I'm gonna need a couple minutes. Find it, Barbara. Patience is a virtue. You've heard that, right? These two were lucky. Scarecrow's forces have murdered the other workers. Bastards. Take them back to GCPD, but be careful, Jim. There's militia all over Gotham. What are you going to do? I'm going to show Crane what happens when he messes with my city. Oracle, I need that route to Scarecrow. We're running out of time. You're not gonna like this. There's only one entrance, and it's been sealed from the inside. What about the service tunnel? It runs behind the main wall of the facility. I've sent you the location. What are you going to do? Improvise. I'll never get past those tanks without the car. I need to get the car into this area before I can use it. I need to get— I didn't want it to end like this, Batman. I kind of hoped you put up more of a fight. Oracle, I need that route to Scarecrow. We're running out of time. You're not gonna like this. There's only one entrance, and it's been sealed from the inside. What about the service tunnel? It runs behind the main wall of the facility. I've sent you the location. What are you going to do? Improvise. I need to get the car into this area before I can use it. Is the strike team ready? I'm with them now. The asset is a crucial element of my plan. Do not disappoint me. I never disappoint. What do you think they're planning? First, we need to focus on stopping Scarecrow. Then I'll deal with the Knight. Batman, I think I found a weakness in those drone tanks. I'll investigate and report back soon. You hear that? I think he took out our tank. What tank? Profile says it's ours. Why are we staying safe? I don't know. I hear it's a big car. Resistant, I'll give him that. If he had any sense, he'd see we had an army and just give up. I don't care. But he's driving a tank! A car that looks like a tank. We are the finest army ever assembled, whereas he, he is just one man. Let him come at us. We have hundreds of tanks. Let's know who to shoot. Huh, you really did go to the briefings. The soldiers are covered by that sentry gun. I'll have to take them out quickly to avoid detection. Did something hit you? There, it's Batman! He's over here! Straight over there. Come on. I need to get the car into this area before I can use it. Batman, we made it back to the precinct. God knows how. There are tanks everywhere. The bastards must have been planning this for weeks. Dig in and do what you can, Jim. I'll deal with them as soon as I've stopped the explosion. We're all counting on you, Batman. We'll get through this. I know we will. This is it! All units evacuate the ace chemical facility! I say again, this is the final evacuation order. Anyone left behind will die painfully and afraid. So move it! Listen up, I just got word that phase 1 is complete. Right now our client is preparing to engulf the city in a cloud of fear gas. Do not forget your training. Gas masks? Useless. Respirators? Useless. Only two things can keep you safe, man. Getting underground or as high as you can above. Oh my God, here, this should help. Got one left, make it. Want some more? Performing first aid. Come out. I can't bring you back again. Take him down! Stop him! No match for you. I've just run a simulation based on the mixing chamber capacity. He's not bluffing, Bruce. I guess now we know why he evacuated the city. He needed control of the plant. Only Ace Chemicals has the facilities to build a bomb of this size. The fallout will be huge. We played right into his hands. He didn't care if everyone ran. He knew that no one would be able to escape the blast radius. All remaining units, rocket boot staging ground on the west island now. Good work for that, people. I need to get the car into this area before I can use it. Gentlemen, tonight is the night that Gotham changes forever. The night it becomes a wasteland of nightmares, a forsaken symbol of man's failure. A monument to fear. But more than that, we're about to turn Gotham into the epicenter of a blast that will transform the entire eastern coast of America into my domain. I need to stop the chemicals being loaded into the mixing chamber. Once I clear the room, I can focus on stopping the explosion. Hey, are you sure it's okay to overload these tanks? We're overriding a hell of a lot of warning messages. We're turning the place into a bomb. What did you expect? Tube loaded. The hell was that? This way, over here! I need to get the car into this area before I can use it. I need to get the car into this area before I can use it. Where the hell did he go? I need to get the car into this area before I can use it. That noise came from over there. I'm not scared. You hide all you like. Nothing we can do here. Run out and find it. Oh, that Emergency! Blast radius is at 23 miles and rising. Need I remind you that we are on a tight schedule here? Gotham is going to pay for what they did to me. Reacted. Loaded. Jumped in another tube. How are we doing? Almost there, almost there. Couple stops down. Emergency! Blast radius is at 31 miles and rising. Going back for another. Sentry guns out of action. You each have been given a task. Complete that task. It's Batman! He's still here! You will not experience my fear toxin firsthand. The people of Gotham can run all they like, but they will not avoid their fate. Emergency! Blast radius is at 46 miles and rising. Each element you carry is vital to my plan. My toxin's design has been perfected over years of clinical trials. The speed at which it enters the bloodstream is matched only by the ferocity with which it takes hold. It appears that the flow of chemicals has stopped, which can only mean that you are here, Batman. I've been looking forward to seeing you again. I know you're out there. The door is open. Do you really think you've won? Fear makes you predictable. I am in complete control. How do I shut it down? Let me go or she dies. What are you talking about? Barbara Gordon. Have you found him? Get out of there now! Relax, no one knows I'm here. Nothing hurts like losing one of the family, knowing that there is no one to blame but yourself. Alfred. I heard what that maniac said to you, sir. I've been trying to contact Miss Gordon, unfortunately with no success. Keep trying. Warning. Preparing neutralizing agent. What are you doing? It's too late. You can't stop it. I know. I'm not trying to stop it, but I can reduce the blast radius. And what will happen to you? That doesn't matter. Find her, Alfred. Neutralizing agent deployed. These canisters are highly volatile. I'm going to have to move slowly. Be very careful. Sir, I urge you to reconsider. Evacuate now. If you're still on block, die. There's no other way, Alfred. There's always a way. Please. Where is she, Alfred? I have no idea. It's my fault they took her. She was aware of the risks, Master Bruce. She'll be as angry as you are that she's allowed this to happen. Sir, listen to me. Don't you see? This is what he wants. Without her, Gotham will be at his mercy. You cannot let him win. I'm monitoring that facility. You're out of time. I beg you, leave now. It's what you taught me. Do the right thing. That's all that matters. Master Bruce, I implore you, you must get out of there. If this is about Miss Gordon, you cannot blame yourself for what's happened. Save yourself before it's too late. Goodbye, Alfred. Neutrilizing energy supplied. Blast radius increased by 1,000%. 1,000%. 1,000%. 1,000%. Miss me? Great, how the hell am I supposed to get in? Voice pattern analyzed. Identification confirmed. Welcome, Commissioner Gordon. Unbelievable. What the hell is this place? What do you want, pig? Coming in here eyeballing me? You think you can police me? Nobody pleases the Goliath. Oh, oh, don't tell me, don't tell me. You are the police commissioner. Your face was on that billboard they replaced with mine. What are you waiting for, old-timer? Johnny C doesn't do requests. Miss me already, Bats? Oh, it's you, Commissioner Boredom. What have you done with my soulmate? If you try to come between us, I'll carve your smile so wide it hits the floor. Commissioner, thank God! You have to get me out of here! They've locked me up, running tests like I'm some kind of guinea pig! There's nothing wrong with me! Batman, I'm glad you came, Jim. You need to see this. What is this place? Who are these people? Before it killed him, Joker sent his infected blood out to all the hospitals in the state. I know, we tracked it all down. We missed some. How? Hospital errors. Transfusions that went unrecorded. 5 people were affected. Untreated. The blood's gestated too long. It's altering them. They're becoming Joker. My God. It's a form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, but mutated beyond anything on medical record. What about that one? He doesn't look like the others. Henry Adams. He's been infected the longest, but he's symptomless, immune to Joker's blood. I've got Robin running tests to find out why. One thing's for certain, Henry's the key to all this. I cooperated. I've done everything you asked. You said it would only take a few days. You can't hold him here against his will. We're close, Jim. We can't let him go until we save the others. Wait, you said 5. I only count 4. There's one missing. He'll be here soon. Bruce. Bruce, can you hear me, Bruce? Oh, down there, Dolph. Surprised, Bats? You knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Me stuck deep inside you. Together, we're going to give this city what it deserves. A new Batman. A better Batman. A darker one. Ooh! Well, we can come back to this later. First, we need to agree on some priorities. Sure, you'll save the city by reducing the blast, but Ace Chemicals is still about to explode. You need to start looking out for yourself. After all, you're brooding for two now. Yes, I really I'm playing for keeps this time. We had something powerful enough to rip out a wall. And no, I'm not talking about you, big lump. Bad time. This too, all the subtlety and Alfred. Oh, thank God. When the explosion— I thought you might be— It's okay, Alfred. I managed to reduce the blast radius and prevented the toxin from spreading into the city. But what about Scarecrow or this Arkham Knight character? They've got tanks, missiles. Their forces are all over Gotham. Kraine got away. I was exposed to his toxin. Good Lord, are you all right? Remember what happened at the asylum? It's okay. I had a bad reaction, but it's over now. I've really got a hand to Scarecrow. I've never been a fan of his concoctions up till now, but this batch, it's intoxicating. It really brings out the me in you. Sir, did you hear what I said? Commissioner Gordon has been trying to contact you. Thanks, Alfred. Jim, you got out! See, I said you wouldn't let me down. I need to speak to you. Sure, what is it? Meet me outside GCPD prisoner detention. I'm heading there now. Alfred, analyze the militia forces. Troop deployments, equipment movements. I want to know exactly what I'm up against. I'll perform a full analysis of the occupying forces and report back shortly, sir. You might fool everyone else, but you can't fool me. Me. There's something different about you. You're afraid. You've always buried your fears, locked them away deep in your subconscious, hidden. But something is clawing away at the darkness of your mind, isn't it? Something even you can't control. The cracks are forming as it pushes its way to the Lost the rattler. Damn it, rattler's taking damage. Chinatown unit destroyed. Control, Falcon 4. Drone spotted in the Gulch. Over. I can't wait to see the look on his face when you tell him his daughter's been kidnapped, and it's all your fault. I've got to go. Batman's here. What's wrong, Jim? Come on, you're scaring me. It's Barbara. She's been taken. No, no, no, I spoke to her. She said she got out. She left hours ago. Stay calm, we'll get her back. Which one? Who's got my little girl? Scarecrow, they took her from the clock tower. All right, we need to go. There could be a clue, something that will lead us to her. I'll follow. Stay in contact. You've got to tell him it's your fault at some point, Vance. And the great thing is, I'll be standing right there when you do. Jim, I need you to stay focused. It's dangerous out there. Drive slow and let me deal with any trouble. Why did I let this happen? There's no way you could have predicted this, Jim. It's my job to predict it as a cop and a father. The whole thing's gone down on my watch. Up ahead, we've got company. Who are they? Police. Okay. Pursuing forces, this is Arkham Knight. Your priority is to apprehend Commissioner Gordon. I say Again, your priority is to apprehend the commissioner. I want him alive. Let nothing stand in your way. Light him up! I can't keep them off forever. These cars ain't built for this. Engaging target. You're losing me, Batman. Batman, they're trying to run me off the road. Taking fire! Get them off me! He's going to run us off the road! You got him! One more left, Batman. Take this bastard out! These cars ain't built for this. Batman, where are you? Come on, get them off me! I can't keep them off forever. Light them up! That's it. That's the last of them. We're clear. It's too dangerous, Jim. Get in the Batmobile. I'll take us to the Clock Tower. Just get us there in one piece, Batman. We're running out of time. Sir, before you head to the clock tower, I thought you may like to hear the analysis of the Arkham Knights forces you requested. What have you got, Alfred? I've set the Batcomputer to analyze militia presence across the three islands and provide you with a real-time representation of the occupation's strength in each zone. As you can see, Miyagani Island is heavily occupied with a substantial drone ground force controlling the roads. Founders Island is the militia stronghold protected by long-range radars and a missile launcher. I'd recommend keeping the Batmobile away from there for the time being. The remaining drone forces on Bleak Island have been redeployed to protect the clock tower, so expect significant resistance. Thanks, Alfred. I'm heading there now. Sergeant? Yes, sir? The extraction squad's down. Take control of the Clock Tower drones. He's coming. Switching to manual control. I'll stop him, sir. Mike Jim, the clock tower's surrounded. I'll clear the area, let you know when it's safe to head inside. You're losing drones, Sergeant. The movement on that thing, it's, it's difficult to get a lock. Direct hit on Rattler. Armor still holding. You got a drone? No. Multiple drones offline. What the hell was that? He's acquired simultaneous strike capabilities. Think faster. We lost the drone unit in the cauldron. There are militia troops all over the clock tower, Jim. You'll be safe in the Batmobile. I'll let you know when the area is secure. I'm not just sitting here while you go after those bastards. Yes, you are, Jim. Barbara wouldn't want you to get yourself killed. I'll be in touch the minute I'm done. The second. Clocktower unit, Batman knows we have his ally and he's coming for you. Hold him off. You can do this, man. I'm going to tell you how. See that? It tore through the armor. What is that thing? Car? Tank? You think the Bat's inside? If he is, there's no way he's getting out. What if he bailed already? He could be sneaking up on us right now. I'm going nowhere until we take out this freaking That tank, if he was in there, don't you think he'd fire back? It's a decoy, man, I'm telling you. Where the hell's our ground support? He took them all out, every one of them. And now it's not safe to enter without taking out the militia troops on the roof of the clock tower. We're good, we're in control. Don't panic. Screw you, maybe I want to panic. Okay, just hold it together, we can do this. I'm telling you, he ain't gonna show. 50 bucks says he's up there watching us right now. No way, we would have seen him. We're wasting our time. The Bat's not going to show. The boss says he'll be looking for that Gordon chick. We've got tanks patrolling the area. No way he'll get through that. You were so slow back in Ace. Scarecrow nearly detonated his bomb. I expected better. Who's going to fight crime now, Robin? When he shows, we've got to be ready. You hesitate for a second and he'll knock you out cold. It's what the night trained us for. I'm ready. Good. Now keep a lookout. He's coming. You ever get to meet the big guy? Who, Scarecrow? Just the one time. More than enough for me. Is he as messed up as they say? What was that? He's over there! Oh no, no! Heading up, track him. Trying to get this guy back on his feet. Where? By the generator. Let's be quick. Chip, the area is secure. Meet me in the clock tower. I'm impressed. Your tricks are nothing new for a lawman. Colleen, is that you again? Candygram! Oh, don't pass out just yet. Come on, show a little spy. Just wait till your father gets home. He's going to be furious about all this mess. Ah, nothing like a trip down old Old memory lane, hey, Bats? And now, a front row seat to the main event. You would have thought old Jim Gordon had been through enough. First, some handsome young maniac cripples his daughter. Now he's blaming himself for her being taken. You really should tell him this is your fault, Bats. I'm sure he'll understand. I mean, it's not like you went out got his daughter killed. Well, not yet anyway. The night's still young. Oh God, no. This isn't your fault, Jim. Of course it is. Crane's done this to get to me. I should have been here. There's something I need to show you. We haven't got time. She's not like us. She's strong, Jim. Stronger than you realize. She works for you? This is all your fault. I will find her. She's my family, my daughter. She's all I've got. I never should have trusted you. Never. I'll do this on my own. Stay away from my family. I think that went quite well, considering. Of course, I wouldn't have told them, but that's why it's so liberating being me. You've got a lot to look forward to, Bats. I need to find out what happened to Barbara. They covered their tracks by disabling the Clock Tower security cameras. If I hack the municipal CCTV system, I should be able to monitor all access points to the building. That's no good. I need to find out who took Barbara and how they're transporting her. No, that won't work. I need to find out how Barbara was taken. Concentrate. I need to find who took Barbara and how. There's nothing here that tells me how Barbara was taken or who took her. That's no good. I need to find out who took Barbara and how they're transporting her. Concentrate. I need to find who took Barbara and how. No, that won't work. I need to find out how Barbara was taken. Concentrate. I need to find who took Barbara and how. That's no good.
