what happened?! we need a bodybag and a freezer truck. now.

all units! emergency action at monarch theatre commissioner! you gotta see inside!

we found OFFICER CASH! send backup TO the cathedral!

i'm heading home, alfred. Arkham city is closed.

Excellent news, sir. What the time is sunrise?

Approximately twenty minutes, so you can finally get some rest

Rarrgh! Well, what do ya know, christmas is freakin'

early... Gifts are Fallin' from the sky.

Executioner? but you're...

Dead? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA WHINE?

THAT WAS My boss, BAT-ASS. yOU TOOK HIM OUT A FEW YEARS BACK ANd STOLE HIS GLOVES, RIGHT

OFF THE CORPSE! EVEN YOU GOTTA AGREE THAT AIN'T RIGHT!

LUCKILY SOME OF US AIN'T AS STUPID AS WE LOOK. I PAID ATTENTION TO THE BOSS. AND I KNEW WHERE

HE KEPT HIS--WHADDAYACALLEM-- PROTOTYPES. AND I KNEW JUST HOW TO MAKE ONE OF THOSE WAYNE

INDUSTRY GEEKS TWEAK IT ALL UP FOR ME... JUST BEFORE I TESTED MY NEW GLOVES ON HIS

SURPRISED LITTLE HEAD.

So now I'm the all new, all-improved electrocutioner! Don't science kick ass?!

You've got the exact same problem as your old boss...

stop!

You talk too much!

ORACLE. BATMAN!

THERE YOU ARE! I'VE BEEN HELPING COORdINATE FOR MY dAd BECAUSE EVERY REMAINING COP IS

BUSY BOOKING THE SCUZZBALLS YOU LEFT ALL OVER AC.

LIKE USUAL, IT SEEMS LIKE THE CITY'S STARTING TO QUIET dOWN JUST IN TIME FOR SUNRISE.

NOT QUIET ENOUGH. TELL YOUR FATHER HE'S GOT ONE MORE SCUZZBALL WAITING FOR HIM ON TOP

OF THE OLd SEFTON-HILL BUILdING.

tell him to bring a warm blanket and a dentist with him.

we'll talk later. look at me.

the bat has won this night across gotham as he has so many others by knowing how to use

fear. he leaves you alive and too scared to move..

toofrightened to breathe his name. it's his greatest power.

but soon he'll face an enemy he can't frighten. someone that knows him too well to hide from

the obvious, broken man he's become. ...no...

and as i strike, men like you will believe we are on the same side.

but you'll be wrong. because i know just how meaningless the rest

of your lives really are to this whole story. ..Puh please..

That is my power.

Master Bruce, are you sure twelve hours is enough rest after all you've been through?

I'd hate for you to fall asleep face first into your steak and oatmeal.

You're quite the comedian, Alfred. a life spent in the company of a fool will

do that to you, sir. Hn. Cleanup of arkham city has already begun.

faster than i expected. commissioner Gordon has assigned an officer

named cash to supervise, but it won't be easy. Resources are slim and they say some parts

of Gotham might be lost forever. i guess gordon's about the only sane person

left with any authority.

i suppose he is, since more people of influence in Gotham don't seem willing to put their

face where their money is. really, this again?

you know that hurts, right? indeed i do.

if not now, when, sir? it's not how i do things, Alfred.

I made a vow. You made a naive promise as an 8 year old

boy and you held to it longer than any other sane person would.

but nights like the one we just experienced are becoming more and more common.

and even you must start to wonder how long batman's luck can hold.

if tomowwow night the worst were to occur, how will your actions have helped gotham in

the long term? batman's made a difference. the night is safer...

safer for families to walk the streets,safer for them to come home.

that's only half of the equation, master bruce. i simply suggest that your focus on gotham's

nights has left its days vulnerable... and one cannot thrive without the other.

you are by birth and faith in a unique position, bruce, and this latest crossroads is perhaps

an opportunity to permanently heal a wound that you've been bandaging over.

Gotham wants Batman... but it needs bruce wayne.

i know what holds you back, master bruce, but i believe you've already made your parents

proud a thousand times over. perhaps it's time to make yourself proud.

Can we joust cover the face, please? It's freaking me out.

Paul, please maintain your composure and professionalism. Commencing a y shaped incision over the breastplate...

Note: victim's skin is charred and flaky.

Correction. Victim has a secondary, decaying layer of dermal coverage bonded to his actual...

holy crap, he's got a fake layer of skin! artifical dermal layer has peeled away revealing..

a flash drive? hahaha

it's making a sound!

We should call in the swat guys and... Dammit, paul don't touch...

hahahahahaha
