1. Bruce. You're pushing the car
too hard. It's not meant to take it.Copy !req
2. I'll coax it.Copy !req
3. That's it,
I'm engaging computer override.Copy !req
4. Don't think it's working.Copy !req
5. You son of a bitch,
are you trying to kill yourself?Copy !req
6. Hmm.Copy !req
7. Spectacular finish
to the Neumann elimination.Copy !req
8. Looked like a flaming coffin
for billionaire Bruce Wayne for sure.Copy !req
9. Turns out Wayne bailed
at the last second...Copy !req
10. suffering only minor burns.Copy !req
11. Hideous slaying of a group of nuns
last night...Copy !req
12. the latest in the brutal crime spree
attributed to the Mutant gang.Copy !req
13. Crime is at a record high,
the city has gone to hell...Copy !req
14. and no one seems to be
doing anything about it.Copy !req
15. Death threats have once again
been leveled by the Mutants...Copy !req
16. against soon-to-retire,
70-year-old commissioner James Gordon...Copy !req
17. who had this to say in response:Copy !req
18. I've got one more month at this job,
and I'd love to spend it nailing the Mutants.Copy !req
19. If they want to take me on, I'm delighted.Copy !req
20. Come and get me.Copy !req
21. Nearly coinciding
with Gordon's retirement...Copy !req
22. tonight also marks the 10th anniversary
of the last sighting of the Batman.Copy !req
23. Most of our younger viewers
now think of him as a myth...Copy !req
24. many others still debate
whether his one-man war on crime...Copy !req
25. was right or wrong...Copy !req
26. but this reporter hopes that wherever he is,
he's enjoying a toast with good friends.Copy !req
27. To 10 years and my finally joining you.Copy !req
28. That was some stunt
you pulled at the racetrack.Copy !req
29. Keeps the blood flowing.Copy !req
30. So long as most of it stays inside you.Copy !req
31. Worried about me?Copy !req
32. Let's just say I'm glad
you survived Batman's retirement...Copy !req
33. and I was hoping you'd keep
it that way.Copy !req
34. Some officials have speculated
that Gordon's departure...Copy !req
35. may help de-escalate violence...Copy !req
36. from the Mutants, as the mysterious
Mutant Leader has repeatedly singled out...Copy !req
37. the commissioner as a target.Copy !req
38. You're not worried about me, are you?Copy !req
39. No more than I am the rest of the city.Copy !req
40. People have given up, Jim.Copy !req
41. They're hiding, turning a blind eye.Copy !req
42. These are scary times. And the Mutants,
they're not like the usual street crooks.Copy !req
43. A mugger, he's after a wallet.
It makes sense.Copy !req
44. These kids, it's just random violence.Copy !req
45. - There's no humanity in them at all.
- Sounds like someone I used to deal with.Copy !req
46. Thank God he's keeping quiet.Copy !req
47. Remember how you had us all going
back then?Copy !req
48. You with that ginger ale of yours,
pretending it was champagne.Copy !req
49. Made up for lost time on that since.Copy !req
50. - Makes it easier.
- Makes what easier?Copy !req
51. - Staying retired.
- Things are different now, Bruce.Copy !req
52. The government, the public,
they wouldn't stand for you anymore.Copy !req
53. - Talk to Dick lately?
- You know I haven't.Copy !req
54. Shame you didn't keep up with him.Copy !req
55. Could've been a shoulder to lean on,
after what happened with Jason.Copy !req
56. Let's call it a night, Jim.Copy !req
57. The day ofjudgment is coming, brother.Copy !req
58. OneCopy !req
59. TwoCopy !req
60. One, two, three, fourCopy !req
61. Come on, baby
Come aliveCopy !req
62. Aces. He sees us.Copy !req
63. Don't go all billy. Go around, behind him.Copy !req
64. Slice and dice.
Show him we nasty.Copy !req
65. I don't know man, spud's awful big.
And look at him.Copy !req
66. - Come on.
- Jeez, man, spud's into it.Copy !req
67. - So, what? Slice and dice.
- Come on.Copy !req
68. No.Copy !req
69. Can't do it when they into it.Copy !req
70. Blow this, let's go to the arcade.Copy !req
71. Wow, look at him go.Copy !req
72. What are you gonna do
when you catch him, Bruce?Copy !req
73. Master Bruce.
You set off the alarm, sir.Copy !req
74. This somnambulism
is becoming a problem...Copy !req
75. especially for those of us
with a penchant for sleeping at night.Copy !req
76. Sir?Copy !req
77. Just remembering a promise, Alfred.Copy !req
78. Which was?
Never again.Copy !req
79. Sorry I woke you.Copy !req
80. When did you shave?Copy !req
81. Still feeling this
record heat wave in Gotham...Copy !req
82. temperatures reaching
into the upper 90s, friends.Copy !req
83. But rains should come in soon
and cut all this heat.Copy !req
84. Hah!Copy !req
85. Think he cares about the weather?Copy !req
86. I don't think this one's cared about anything
for a long time.Copy !req
87. Guess crazy has its moments.Copy !req
88. Guy doesn't even sweat. Look at him.Copy !req
89. You look at him. He makes me sick.Copy !req
90. Don't be nervous, Harvey.Copy !req
91. Doctor Willing and I have done outstanding
work on you, inside and out.Copy !req
92. Doctor Wolper, I have to agree.Copy !req
93. Psychologically, I'm confident you're
ready to face the world and say, "Hey, I'm okay."Copy !req
94. And you look great too.Copy !req
95. Harvey Dent, meet Harvey Dent.Copy !req
96. Ah. Looks like the patient
needs a little convincing.Copy !req
97. Been a long time
since both sides matched.Copy !req
98. - It's some of my finest work ever, Harvey.
Both sides match.Copy !req
99. You look completely normal.Copy !req
100. - I don't know what to say.
- Say thank you.Copy !req
101. I can't express enough gratitude
to my plastic surgeon, Dr. Herbert Willing...Copy !req
102. and my psychiatrist,
Dr. Bartholomew Wolper.Copy !req
103. I don't expect the people
of Gotham City...Copy !req
104. to forgive my crimes overnight...Copy !req
105. I only ask that they give me
a second chance.Copy !req
106. Harvey. How do you feel?Copy !req
107. Why should we think this time is different?Copy !req
108. Are you nervous about starting over?
ls Two-Face gone for good?Copy !req
109. Those were Harvey Dent's last words
before he disappeared.Copy !req
110. The one-time district attorney,
later known as Two-Face...Copy !req
111. immediately evaded supervision
upon his release earlier today...Copy !req
112. from the Arkham Home.Copy !req
113. Husband and wife found murdered
in their sleep this morning.Copy !req
114. Wayne, who sponsored Dent's rehabilitation,
had this to say just days before Dent's release:Copy !req
115. As a city, we have to give Harvey every chance
to return to society.Copy !req
116. We must believe we can all defeat
our own private demons.Copy !req
117. After today's developments,
Wayne was unavailable for comment.Copy !req
118. Murder rates on the city's
subways have reached an all-time high.Copy !req
119. Kidnapping and murdering
young children...Copy !req
120. a line even the Mutants
hadn't crossed until now.Copy !req
121. Despite the family paying the ransom,
the Mutants still took the boy's life.Copy !req
122. This marks a chilling escalation...Copy !req
123. from a group many are already calling
the worst criminals Gotham City...Copy !req
124. has seen since the Joker.Copy !req
125. Tonight's presentation of
Tyrone Power in The Mark of Zorro—Copy !req
126. Take that. Yah!Copy !req
127. —Can only assume Two-Face
will return to his criminal ways.Copy !req
128. Four killed in a senseless attack—Copy !req
129. —the assault and mutilation and terror
that poor little boy must have felt.Copy !req
130. Storm coming in,
like the wrath of God about to hit Gotham.Copy !req
131. You try to hold me back,
but you're weak.Copy !req
132. You know it in your soul.Copy !req
133. You're nothing but a hollow shell.Copy !req
134. A rusty trap.Copy !req
135. The time has come.Copy !req
136. Come in here where it's warm, Mommy.Copy !req
137. No. Please.Copy !req
138. I need you, Mommy.
Talk soft and make me feel safe.Copy !req
139. Get your ass in the car.
We're taking a ride.Copy !req
140. Please, Silk. Not the face.Copy !req
141. You're paining me, Joannie.
You're messing with my livelihood.Copy !req
142. Hey, man, take it somewhere else.
I just had the seats cleaned.Copy !req
143. Shut your hairy face and drive.Copy !req
144. - Dog-eat-dog world, I guess.
Aah!Copy !req
145. Look, Joannie,
you went and grew a new nostril.Copy !req
146. What the hell was that?Copy !req
147. Something's on the roof.
Someone thinks they're gonna mess with me?Copy !req
148. Oh, man, oh, man. Start already.Copy !req
149. Great. Figure I wanna get all soaked.Copy !req
150. Come on, we'll cut through here.Copy !req
151. I don't know.Copy !req
152. I heard the Mutants hang here.Copy !req
153. A little backbone, Michelle?Copy !req
154. Better in here than out there.Copy !req
155. At least the lights are bright.Copy !req
156. Carrie?Copy !req
157. Don't go all billy.
They'll come back on in a sec.Copy !req
158. Chick, chick, chick.Copy !req
159. Chicken legs, licking legs.
Slice and dice.Copy !req
160. Oh, my God, Carrie. Aah!Copy !req
161. I got the little one. Slice and dice them.Copy !req
162. - What? What happened?
- My arm. Something's stuck in my arm.Copy !req
163. I got my nine. Anything moves, I'll—Copy !req
164. Where'd you go?Copy !req
165. DlSPATCHER Repeat, all units,
robbery in progress, Gotham City Trust.Copy !req
166. You see that other car?
Just went the other way.Copy !req
167. Forget it.
We're gonna lose this one as it is.Copy !req
168. Damn, that sucker can move.Copy !req
169. - What the hell is that?
- Can't exactly look right now, kid.Copy !req
170. Up there. Freaking weird.Copy !req
171. You gonna tell me or— Holy...Copy !req
172. You're slowing down?Copy !req
173. Yeah. We're in for a show, kid.Copy !req
174. That was the Batman.Copy !req
175. I never thought he was real. Look.Copy !req
176. These men are mine.Copy !req
177. - You heard the man.
- You crazy? I'm going in.Copy !req
178. You don't wanna do that. Kid.Copy !req
179. Batman would have to be old.Copy !req
180. - Turk said he killed Batman.
- Yeah, well, Turk says a lot of things.Copy !req
181. - This floor don't feel safe.
- Live dangerously. And shut up.Copy !req
182. There.Copy !req
183. This is freaky, he never made noise before.Copy !req
184. Watch it. You're gonna hit—Copy !req
185. Mackie? Yeah, I think I did.
But I still don't see— Uhn!Copy !req
186. Everybody freeze.Copy !req
187. You're under arrest, mister.
You just crippled that man.Copy !req
188. He's young, he'll walk again.Copy !req
189. But you'll stay scared, won't you, punk?Copy !req
190. - I mean it. Get away from him.
- He's being patient with you as it is, kid.Copy !req
191. Nice to have you back, Bats.Copy !req
192. - Go to their car, kid. Get the loot.
The pain.Copy !req
193. I can't stand it.Copy !req
194. - I don't believe this.
- It's not in their car.Copy !req
195. Was there a second car at the bank?Copy !req
196. - Yeah, an old jalopy. Didn't think—
- You weren't supposed to.Copy !req
197. You know, I saw you once before.Copy !req
198. Years ago, I was a rookie
like schmuck-face there and—Copy !req
199. Tell Gordon we have to talk.Copy !req
200. Sure thing, Bats.Copy !req
201. But how's he supposed
to get in touch with you...?Copy !req
202. Oh, yeah. Now I remember.Copy !req
203. Reports stream in this morning
of sightings of a bat-like creature...Copy !req
204. throughout the city last night.
You don't suppose—?Copy !req
205. A group of cat burglars, seriously injured—Copy !req
206. A wild animal that snarled and growled.Copy !req
207. - A werewolf for sure.
- It was a flying monster...Copy !req
208. - ... with wings and fangs.
- Reality check, Michelle. It was definitely a man.Copy !req
209. But he had to be, like, 12 feet tall.Copy !req
210. Two abducted children were found alive
in a riverside warehouse...Copy !req
211. along with six critically injured
members of the Mutant gang.Copy !req
212. The children describe the gang's attacker
as "A man dressed as Dracula."Copy !req
213. We will kill the old man Gordon.Copy !req
214. We will chop him. We will grind him.Copy !req
215. We will bathe in his blood.Copy !req
216. I myself will kill the fool, Batman.Copy !req
217. I will rip the meat from his bones
and suck them dry.Copy !req
218. Don't call us a gang.Copy !req
219. Don't call us criminals.Copy !req
220. We are the law.Copy !req
221. Gotham City belongs to the Mutants.Copy !req
222. My client has yet to be charged with anything.
And for good reason.Copy !req
223. Where'd I put that stuff?Copy !req
224. Your men found no stolen money,
you've got no witnesses connecting him...Copy !req
225. to the robbery, and to say
he suffered brutality is an understatement.Copy !req
226. Batman shattered his femur.Copy !req
227. Like it's got a mind of its own.Copy !req
228. There it is.Copy !req
229. I insist you drop this entire matter immediately.
My client's the victim here.Copy !req
230. Done. Merkel, draw up release papers
for Victim here.Copy !req
231. - Sir?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now wait a second.Copy !req
232. My client also has to be ensured
of protection.Copy !req
233. You heard me, Merkel.Copy !req
234. Gum?Copy !req
235. If it's suicide you're after,
I have an old family recipe.Copy !req
236. It's slow and painful. You'd like it.Copy !req
237. Wayne infirmary.Copy !req
238. One moment, it's Commissioner Gordon.
No doubt calling for details on the funeral.Copy !req
239. Yes, commissioner.Copy !req
240. You're releasing him right now? Lnteresting.Copy !req
241. I'm still the prime beneficiary in your will,
aren't I?Copy !req
242. Face? Anyone here?Copy !req
243. Two-Face has already moved on.
He was smart enough to know I'd track him.Copy !req
244. You weren't.Copy !req
245. So now you're going to tell me
what he's up to.Copy !req
246. Stay away from me. I got rights.Copy !req
247. Sure, you've got rights. Plenty of them.Copy !req
248. You're also bleeding to death.Copy !req
249. And right now, I'm the only one in the world
who can get you to a hospital in time.Copy !req
250. So how quickly you decide to talk
is up to you.Copy !req
251. Commissioner, something you have to see.Copy !req
252. Follow me.Copy !req
253. He set it back up?Copy !req
254. Isn't there any other way to contact him?Copy !req
255. At least a dozen.
- Then why?Copy !req
256. So everyone knows. Hit it.Copy !req
257. The guy's a fascist. No regard for civil rights.Copy !req
258. I know, and people eat it up.Copy !req
259. It's like all that marching we did
never happened.Copy !req
260. Don't say that. We made a difference.
Give me another hit of that, will you?Copy !req
261. You made sure the doors are locked, right?Copy !req
262. Two helicopters stolen last night.Copy !req
263. One a state-of-the-art attack chopper,
the other an old army surplus job.Copy !req
264. - Got to be Two-Face.
- His Lackey didn't know much.Copy !req
265. Just that whatever Dent's planning,
it goes down tomorrow night.Copy !req
266. Sure. Lt's Tuesday
and the second of the month.Copy !req
267. And that Two-Face said it would be
twice as big as anyone can imagine.Copy !req
268. He's also re-wrapped his face in bandages.Copy !req
269. - Not letting anyone see him.
- Why?Copy !req
270. What did he do to himself?
You don't suppose he...?Copy !req
271. Maybe. He's scratching both sides now.Copy !req
272. As if he's become consumed
by his dark side.Copy !req
273. I wouldn't rule out that he's hurting himself.Copy !req
274. It must have been impossible
to resist the compulsion.Copy !req
275. We still talking about Dent?Copy !req
276. You know you can't just bring in Harvey
and be done with it.Copy !req
277. It's bigger than that now.Copy !req
278. - You've already ruffled—
- The Mutants.Copy !req
279. They're next on my list. But first things first.Copy !req
280. A target that needs two helicopters...Copy !req
281. that's twice as big as anyone can...Copy !req
282. The Gotham Life Building.Copy !req
283. Merv, I'm absolutely convinced
of Harvey's Dent's innocence.Copy !req
284. But that's not to say he hasn't returned
to crime.Copy !req
285. I know that sounds confusing to the layman,
so let me explain.Copy !req
286. You see, it all comes down
to this Batman fellow.Copy !req
287. His psycho-erotic behavior
is like a net...Copy !req
288. trapping weak-minded neurotics
like Harvey...Copy !req
289. drawing them into corresponding,
intersecting patterns.Copy !req
290. You could say Batman
creates his own enemies...Copy !req
291. committing the crimes using his
so-called villains as narcissistic proxies.Copy !req
292. In other words,
the real villain here is Batman.Copy !req
293. Look out. Look out!
Oh, my—Copy !req
294. Report just coming in of an explosion
at the Gotham Life Building.Copy !req
295. People of Gotham. This is Harvey Dent.Copy !req
296. Sorry to interrupt
your television-viewing pleasure.Copy !req
297. Right now, I'm sitting atop
the beautiful Gotham Life Building...Copy !req
298. with two bombs big enough
to make both towers rubble.Copy !req
299. You have 22 minutes to save them.
And my price is $22 million.Copy !req
300. - What's happening?
- Your favorite nightmare.Copy !req
301. Should last about an hour.Copy !req
302. - How do I stop it?
- Stop it? It shouldn't be going.Copy !req
303. Two-Face lied to you.Copy !req
304. He said we'd get the money and run.
The bombs are just for show.Copy !req
305. He wants to die.
And take thousands with him.Copy !req
306. - Can you stop it?
- I'm not sure. Cross your fingers.Copy !req
307. Show me. What did you do?Copy !req
308. No.Copy !req
309. I played along as long as I could.Copy !req
310. While you and the docs had your joke.Copy !req
311. You got everyone to smile and keep
their lunches down when they looked at me.Copy !req
312. - Pretending I looked normal.
- You think—?Copy !req
313. Cut it out.
Just look at me and have your laugh.Copy !req
314. Get it over with.
At least both sides match now, right?Copy !req
315. Look at me and have your laugh.Copy !req
316. Who are we kidding? They couldn't fix me.Copy !req
317. Nothing can change what I am.Copy !req
318. You and me both.Copy !req
319. I think it's a mistake to look at
Batman's return in purely physical terms.Copy !req
320. I think it's a symbolic resurgence
of the common man's will to resist.Copy !req
321. A rebirth of the American soul.Copy !req
322. Okay, easy on the rhetoric, Lana.Copy !req
323. The only thing Batman signifies
is an aberrant psychotic force.Copy !req
324. The man's a danger to every citizen.Copy !req
325. - Hardly as dangerous as the criminals, is he?
- Batman knows exactly what he's doing.Copy !req
326. His kind of fascist always does.
Sorry, Morrie and Lana, we're out of time.Copy !req
327. But I'm sure this debate is far from over.Copy !req
328. - Commissioner.
- Mr. Hudson.Copy !req
329. Sure, you should be out so late?
Not safe, even for our top cop.Copy !req
330. - Wife forgot bean sprouts.
- Sounds like she's got you eating right.Copy !req
331. Gotta watch the red meat, you know.Copy !req
332. Everyone's a doctor.Copy !req
333. You have a good night.Copy !req
334. A parents group called the Council of Mothers
filed a petition with the mayor's office today...Copy !req
335. as did the Victims' Rights Task Force...Copy !req
336. both calling for renewed sanctions
against the Batman.Copy !req
337. The mayor spoke to reporters this afternoon.Copy !req
338. We're still in consultation on this.
Still in consultation.Copy !req
339. Incidents of violence against criminals
continue to rise in Gotham.Copy !req
340. Which of these acts are the work
of Batman...Copy !req
341. and which are by others he's inspired,
is impossible to tell.Copy !req
342. Batman? I think he's A-okay.
He's kicking all the right butts.Copy !req
343. Beating the heads that need beating.
Know what I mean?Copy !req
344. I'd like to see him show up
for my landlord next.Copy !req
345. It makes me sick, to see such a violation
of people's rights.Copy !req
346. We have to strive to reintegrate
the disenfranchised into society...Copy !req
347. not revel in their punishment.Copy !req
348. We have to show patience.
Excuse me? No, I'd never live in the city.Copy !req
349. One moment, I've just been handed this.Copy !req
350. "Commissioner James Gordon
has been shot and killed."Copy !req
351. Wait, I'm sorry. I read that wrong.Copy !req
352. "Commissioner Gordon has shot
and killed a 17-year-old-mutant."Copy !req
353. Gordon was attacked not far
from his west-end apartment.Copy !req
354. What a downer.Copy !req
355. - Seventeen years old.
Macho cops.Copy !req
356. Just like Chicago. Remember Chicago?Copy !req
357. Not really. I was tripping the whole time.Copy !req
358. Whoa. Lnstant pizza.Copy !req
359. Some Robin.Copy !req
360. Gordon is set to retire later this week...Copy !req
361. while the mayor has yet to announce
his replacement.Copy !req
362. I'm still polling opinions.
Still polling opinions.Copy !req
363. In entertainment news,
Galaxy Broadcasting president James Olsen...Copy !req
364. assured viewers that the television
writers' strike, now in its fourth year...Copy !req
365. will not affect programming.Copy !req
366. A spokesman for the Ridley Chewing Gum
family has revealed that the Mutants...Copy !req
367. have kidnapped Kevin Ridley,
the 2-year-old heir to the Ridley fortune.Copy !req
368. You ever wanna hear him again?Copy !req
369. Do like we said. You got one hour.Copy !req
370. Oh, man. The kid messed himself.Copy !req
371. Hold your breath. Once we get the ransom,
we flush the whole kid.Copy !req
372. - Get it off me. Get it off me.
- Chill, Spot. It's just a bat.Copy !req
373. Get out of the way.Copy !req
374. Should have got out of the way, Spot.Copy !req
375. Back off or I'll kill him.
Believe me man, I'll do it.Copy !req
376. I believe you.Copy !req
377. Didn't suck.Copy !req
378. Do you know who I am, punk?Copy !req
379. Where am l? I can't see.
I'm your worst nightmare.Copy !req
380. The kind that makes you wake up
screaming for your mother.Copy !req
381. I think I'm bleeding. What's on my face?Copy !req
382. Quite an arsenal you had in that apartment.Copy !req
383. Combat weapons.Copy !req
384. You're going to tell me where you got them.Copy !req
385. Solid, man, I'll tell you.
But no cops, and I walk. Deal?Copy !req
386. You're in no position to negotiate.
Let me show you.Copy !req
387. For the record, no, that place wasn't worth
coming to this neighborhood.Copy !req
388. Don't worry, it's easy to get a cab
on the next block.Copy !req
389. - If we make it to the next block.
- Will you chill out?Copy !req
390. They can smell the fear on you, you know.Copy !req
391. Eyes slideways.Copy !req
392. Hoo! Haah!Copy !req
393. Look out.Copy !req
394. What the hell?Copy !req
395. I'm trying to make an honest living here.
Stay out of my business.Copy !req
396. You're welcome.Copy !req
397. So many years of service.
My men, my country, that's all I cared about.Copy !req
398. You've been selling weapons
to the Mutants.Copy !req
399. My wife...Copy !req
400. she's dying.Copy !req
401. And after all those years,
they wouldn't pay for the treatment.Copy !req
402. You sent them enough firepower
to stage a small war.Copy !req
403. If it's a war they want, I've got just the thing.Copy !req
404. Nice way to end your career, general.Copy !req
405. Leader says everyone, so get in.Copy !req
406. Sure. Figure we got plenty time
for speeches.Copy !req
407. Not talking speeches, man. Talking war.Copy !req
408. The dump, in one hour. So get in.Copy !req
409. - Okay, okay.
- The dump.Copy !req
410. Master Bruce?
- Who else?Copy !req
411. - Of course, but the signal is coming from—
- Been a while since I've taken her out.Copy !req
412. Still purrs. Like it was yesterday.Copy !req
413. They call us a gang.Copy !req
414. They think we just noisy kids.Copy !req
415. Only when they die by our hands
will they know...Copy !req
416. Gotham City belongs to the Mutants.Copy !req
417. Take the guns. Take the bombs.Copy !req
418. Storm police headquarters and kill, and kill.
Bring me the head of the old man Gordon.Copy !req
419. I will carry it through the streets.Copy !req
420. And the Batman,
who thinks he can mess with us.Copy !req
421. I will tear him limb from limb.Copy !req
422. Mutants. Surrender now or be destroyed.Copy !req
423. They don't even wait for an order.Copy !req
424. Kids today. No respect.Copy !req
425. Rubber bullets.Copy !req
426. All this metal,
and you don't even use it to kill?Copy !req
427. It's just a shell to keep you safe?Copy !req
428. What's the matter?Copy !req
429. Ain't you got the stomach for it?Copy !req
430. I call you coward.Copy !req
431. Come out here and face me like a man.Copy !req
432. I kill you. I eat your heart.
Prove you can take me.Copy !req
433. Prove you can fight with your hands.Copy !req
434. Come on, man. You boring me.Copy !req
435. Sir, you can't seriously be...
Mm-hm.Copy !req
436. He's in his prime. He'll kill you.Copy !req
437. It's the only way I'll know.Copy !req
438. Yeah, get him.Copy !req
439. Ha! You slow, spud.Copy !req
440. No.Copy !req
441. - That it? You getting tired, old man?
- Shut up.Copy !req
442. Don't be dead, don't be dead, don't be dead.Copy !req
443. Good, you're alive.Copy !req
444. Now, wake up.Copy !req
445. Come on.Copy !req
446. Good girl. Thank you. Now, run along home.Copy !req
447. Please, dear.
You're in the way of the sensors.Copy !req
448. Uhn! Watch it.
You're bouncing around too much.Copy !req
449. It's all right.Copy !req
450. Stretcher's gyro stabilized.Copy !req
451. Cool. What is this thing?Copy !req
452. - Dick called it the Batmobile.
Sir.Copy !req
453. Something a kid would say.Copy !req
454. I like it. Now, hold your breath.Copy !req
455. Where'd you learn to do that?Copy !req
456. What's your name?Copy !req
457. Carrie. Carrie Kelley.Copy !req
458. Robin.Copy !req
459. - Mine's Bruce.
Sir, you are delirious.Copy !req
460. You should stay quiet from now on.
We're moments from the hospital.Copy !req
461. No Alfred, no hospital.Copy !req
462. The cave.Copy !req
463. - But sir—
- The cave.Copy !req
464. And Robin comes with us.Copy !req
465. Hands to yourself, please.Copy !req
466. Where did he go?Copy !req
467. To find his strength.Copy !req
468. Where are you?Copy !req
469. I'm not finished yet.Copy !req
470. And you're not finished with me.Copy !req
471. You're never finished with me.Copy !req
472. He is a monster, striking at the foundations
of democracy.Copy !req
473. Where are the principles that make
this the noblest country in the world?Copy !req
474. I'm surprised there aren't more like him.
People are sick of being afraid.Copy !req
475. He's taking back what's ours.Copy !req
476. Those are but a few of the reactions
to the return of the Batman.Copy !req
477. Tonight, we'll examine his impact
on our society.Copy !req
478. From Metropolis, managing editor
of The Daily Planet, Lana Lang.Copy !req
479. And from Gotham City,
popular psychologist...Copy !req
480. and author of the best-seller, Hey, I'm Okay,
Dr. Bartholomew Wolper.Copy !req
481. Dr. Wolper, you've claimed the Batman
is responsible for inciting the crimes he fights.Copy !req
482. Yet, crime in Gotham has dropped steadily
since his return.Copy !req
483. - Explain.
- I'm glad you asked that, Ted.Copy !req
484. Picture the public psyche as a vast,
moist, membrane.Copy !req
485. Batman has struck this membrane
a vicious blow, and it has recoiled.Copy !req
486. Hence the misleading short-term statistics.Copy !req
487. But in the long term...Copy !req
488. a whole generation of young people
will be bent to the matrix...Copy !req
489. of Batman's pathological self-delusion.Copy !req
490. In this context,
Batman could be considered a social disease.Copy !req
491. That's the biggest load of bull
I've ever heard.Copy !req
492. Miss Lang, you've been perhaps
the Batman's most vocal supporter.Copy !req
493. How can you condone behavior
that's so blatantly illegal?Copy !req
494. What about due process?
What about civil rights?Copy !req
495. Ted, we live in the shadow of crime.Copy !req
496. Resigned to be the victims of fear,
of violence, of social impotence.Copy !req
497. A man has risen to remind us that the power is,
and always has been, in our hands.Copy !req
498. For years, we've been under siege.Copy !req
499. This one man is showing us
that we can take a stand.Copy !req
500. A total of 83 members
of the Mutant gang have been arrested...Copy !req
501. most suffering from bullet
and shrapnel wounds.Copy !req
502. Among those captured,
is one they're calling the Mutant Leader.Copy !req
503. Batman is a coward. I broke his bones.Copy !req
504. Now, my Mutant army is coming
to storm Gotham City.Copy !req
505. We will come for our leader.
We will kill Gordon.Copy !req
506. We will raze Gotham and taste its blood.
Prepare for war.Copy !req
507. This whole mutant situation is the result
of commissioner Gordon's incompetence...Copy !req
508. and the Batman's terrorist actions.Copy !req
509. To address these matters,
Deputy Mayor Stevenson and l...Copy !req
510. are proud to announce the appointment
of Captain Ellen Yindel...Copy !req
511. as Gordon's replacement
upon his retirement.Copy !req
512. Captain Yindel stands
firmly against the Batman...Copy !req
513. and upon taking office,
will aggressively pursue his capture.Copy !req
514. Furthermore, right after this conference...Copy !req
515. I intend to personally sit down with
the Mutant leader to negotiate a settlement.Copy !req
516. What do you think, Trish?
Has the mayor gone nuts?Copy !req
517. Not at all, Ted. I expect the mayor's
credibility rating to go through the roof...Copy !req
518. especially if he's successful
in the Mutant negotiations.Copy !req
519. Between this, his strong stand on Batman,
and his choosing a woman...Copy !req
520. as the next police commissioner,
I think we're seeing whole new mayor.Copy !req
521. Public-perception-wise, that is.Copy !req
522. You sure you wanna go through with this?Copy !req
523. Ahem. L, um—Copy !req
524. At least, you don't have
to do it alone. I could be in there with you.Copy !req
525. No, I have to resolve this.Copy !req
526. That's what the polls say.Copy !req
527. How you doing, Mr. Mayor?Copy !req
528. The Mayor is dead.Copy !req
529. The Mutant Leader
has been returned to his cell.Copy !req
530. A frightened silence has fallen over the city,
as Gotham braces itself for attack.Copy !req
531. Deputy Mayor— Excuse me.
Mayor Stevenson, had this to say.Copy !req
532. If there are any members
of the Mutant g—Copy !req
533. Organization listening, I urge you,
the city is still willing to negotiate.Copy !req
534. You've been through a lot.
Your head wasn't clear at the time.Copy !req
535. I knew exactly what I was doing.Copy !req
536. - Bringing the girl here.
- She's perfect. Smart, brave.Copy !req
537. With her help, I can end the Mutant problem
once and for all.Copy !req
538. It all comes down to their leader.
They worship him.Copy !req
539. - Perhaps your judgment was impaired.
- I tried to match his savagery last time.Copy !req
540. - That was my mistake. I haveto be smarter.
- Very well, sir, I shall cut right to it.Copy !req
541. Have you forgotten
what happened with Jason?Copy !req
542. I'll never forget what happened to Jason.Copy !req
543. He was a good soldier. He honored me.Copy !req
544. But the war goes on.Copy !req
545. Robin.Copy !req
546. Your training begins tomorrow.Copy !req
547. It'll take weeks
to prepare you properly.Copy !req
548. But I have a job for you, tonight.Copy !req
549. Alter my plan in any way,
stray from my instructions at all...Copy !req
550. and you're fired.Copy !req
551. Batman, he nasty.
Tossed spike right through that sign.Copy !req
552. Yeah, I figure that real cool, Rob.Copy !req
553. Leader pegged Batman.Copy !req
554. Leader say that, but Leader in a cell, Don.Copy !req
555. Leader don't ship out no cell.Copy !req
556. Eyes slideways.
Oh, chicken legs.Copy !req
557. - In colors.
- Chicken legs. Licken chegs.Copy !req
558. Chegs kind of my nasty, Rob.Copy !req
559. Chegs billy.Copy !req
560. Chegs pre-school Mutant.Copy !req
561. Leader take your face for touching me, spud.Copy !req
562. Yeah, right. You Leader's squeeze, I figure.Copy !req
563. Yeah? You really mutants, I figure.Copy !req
564. We mutants. We slicer-dicers.Copy !req
565. Sure you are. That's why you at the pipe.Copy !req
566. Whatever. I don't shiv.Copy !req
567. She don't shiv.Copy !req
568. - What pipe? What you billy about?
- Ears only, spud.Copy !req
569. - As in members.
- We Mutants.Copy !req
570. - What pipe?
- The pipe.Copy !req
571. West River and 40.Copy !req
572. Attendance. As in mandatory.Copy !req
573. Yeah, sure, I knew about the pipe.Copy !req
574. Sure you did. Didn't hear it from me, spud.Copy !req
575. Heh. Real cool, Rob.Copy !req
576. Shut up and come on.Copy !req
577. I don't care if his mother's pregnant.
We need every hand on deck. Now.Copy !req
578. - What can I do for you?
- I'm reporting for duty.Copy !req
579. - You're a few days early, captain.
- Any duty, sir.Copy !req
580. Sorry. Not much left to do but wait.Copy !req
581. But you're welcome to wait here.Copy !req
582. I've read your record, Yindel.Copy !req
583. - You're a good cop.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
584. Truth is, you've been a hero of mine
since I was a kid.Copy !req
585. The only thing I don't understand
is how far apart we are on Batman.Copy !req
586. Then let's not talk about Batman.Copy !req
587. - Of course we heard about the pipe.
- Of course you did. Whatever.Copy !req
588. I don't understand how you can support
a vigilante. Our job is to uphold the law.Copy !req
589. No thanks.Copy !req
590. Wife made me quit the cigars.Copy !req
591. I'm sure you've hears old fossils like me
talk about Pearl Harbor? Mostly, we all lie.Copy !req
592. Make it sound like we leapt to our feet...Copy !req
593. and went after the Axis
the second it happened.Copy !req
594. Truth is, we were scared stiff.Copy !req
595. Rumors were flying, we barely had an army.Copy !req
596. Hell, we were hiding in our beds
with our heads under the sheets.Copy !req
597. And then we heard President Roosevelt
on the radio.Copy !req
598. That voice, strong and sure...Copy !req
599. taking our fear
and turning it into a fighting spirit.Copy !req
600. He's why we won that war.Copy !req
601. You ain't heard about the pipe?
Leader says everyone.Copy !req
602. We heard, we heard. We're on our way.Copy !req
603. Years later, this report came out...Copy !req
604. that Roosevelt might have known
Pearl Harbor was coming...Copy !req
605. and let it happen.
That rattled around in my head for days.Copy !req
606. How horrible it would be if it were true.Copy !req
607. Then again, it's what got us into the war.Copy !req
608. A lot of men died.Copy !req
609. But in the end it saved millions.Copy !req
610. I bounced back and forth like that...Copy !req
611. until I realized...Copy !req
612. it was too big for me to judge.Copy !req
613. He was too big.Copy !req
614. I still don't see
what that has to do with Batman.Copy !req
615. Maybe one day, you will.Copy !req
616. Commissioner, you better see this.Copy !req
617. - Where to?
- Take the cycle back to the cave.Copy !req
618. - You're done for tonight.
- How do you know it worked?Copy !req
619. There must be thousands of them.
Why? Why there?Copy !req
620. - Because I want them there.
- It'll take an army to surround them.Copy !req
621. I could call in the National Guard.Copy !req
622. No. You can't arrest and hold them all.Copy !req
623. The only way to finish this is to defeat them.
Humiliate them.Copy !req
624. I'm counting on you, Jim. One last time.Copy !req
625. You got kids, Officer Thompson, badge 5861?Copy !req
626. - Shut up.
- Just asking.Copy !req
627. I love kids. How about a wife?Copy !req
628. You got a sweet little wife
all alone at home, 5861?Copy !req
629. - I said shut up.
- Thompson. Go get some air.Copy !req
630. With pleasure.Copy !req
631. - Come down to say hello, old man?
- No. I came to say goodbye.Copy !req
632. Batman. Show yourself.Copy !req
633. Face me, fool, and I will kill you.Copy !req
634. I will show you who rules Gotham City.Copy !req
635. Okay, son. Show me.Copy !req
636. You're weak, old man. You're slow.Copy !req
637. True, but we're all slow
when we're thigh high deep in mud.Copy !req
638. And you're not too bright.Copy !req
639. What was that?Copy !req
640. Just the right kind of cut
above the eyes.Copy !req
641. The kind that bleeds.Copy !req
642. Ah. You see, Don? Batman nasty.Copy !req
643. Shh.Copy !req
644. - Leader's bogging.
- Leader billy berserk, Rob.Copy !req
645. - He peg Batman, you see.
Shh.Copy !req
646. That a tickle?Copy !req
647. That was a nerve bundle in your deltoid.Copy !req
648. Might not hurt, but you won't
be moving that arm for a while.Copy !req
649. He dusted. Batman dusted.Copy !req
650. Batman don't shiv. You see.Copy !req
651. You finished, old man.Copy !req
652. You don't get it, son.Copy !req
653. This isn't a mud hole.Copy !req
654. It's an operating table.Copy !req
655. And I'm the surgeon.Copy !req
656. The Mutants are dead.
This is the new face of the law.Copy !req
657. We are the sons of Batman.Copy !req
658. And Gotham's criminals
are about to enter hell.Copy !req
659. It worked.Copy !req
660. We rounded up about half of them,
no fight left in them at all.Copy !req
661. Those that got away have broken off
into smaller gangs.Copy !req
662. I'll deal with the rest of them in time.Copy !req
663. You'll be doing that on your own.
Good luck, Bruce.Copy !req
664. You're gonna need it.Copy !req
665. I'm telling you, I didn't do nothing.Copy !req
666. Instances of Batman-inspired vigilantism
are on the rise.Copy !req
667. Regular people fighting to take back
their neighborhoods.Copy !req
668. How are you feeling, sir?Copy !req
669. I know I should have been afraid.
But this is my block.Copy !req
670. The guy was mugging a lady
in front of my shop.Copy !req
671. Like it was yesterday.Copy !req
672. Exactly as I warned, the Batman has infected
the minds of Gotham's youth.Copy !req
673. Poisoned these so-called
"Sons of Batman"...Copy !req
674. with an insidious excuse
for the most violently anti-social behavior.Copy !req
675. Batman? I'm tired of hearing about him.Copy !req
676. Why can't he just let things go,
the way the rest of us do?Copy !req
677. We count too.Copy !req
678. A bunch of psychopaths
turn on criminals...Copy !req
679. instead of the rest of us,
and you wanna blame Batman?Copy !req
680. I say more power to them.Copy !req
681. Do not expect any further statements.
The Sons of Batman do not make speeches.Copy !req
682. - We act.
- Batman...?Copy !req
683. - Gotham City belongs to the Batman.
- Batman.Copy !req
684. Batman.Copy !req
685. Darling.Copy !req
