"I'm Bane."
"When I was nine years old, I got my first weapon in life."
"A toothbrush with a sharpened handle."
"I got down on my knees and held it against my neck."
…
Arkham Asylum.
Flamingo.
It is now 23:58 midnight.
"Batman offered me a good deal."
He leaned against the wall of the Arkham Asylum corridor, playing with the knife in his hand.
The knife is cold and fast. When it pierces someone's chest, it will not be stained with a single drop of blood.
"Stop Bane, take him down. And Batman promised to improve my conditions in prison. But I'm a killer. Before I decide to take a job, I always ask what the offer is."
"So I've come here to ask you about this, apart from the rest of the group. I think the question now becomes..."
“What can you offer?”
Bane responded with a punch to the face, followed by a blow to the stomach, causing Flamingo to vomit up his entrails like last night's slop.
Once, twice, he kept on hitting until the other person's strong tendons burst and deflated.
His feet were stained with the other's blood.
"Pain."
He responded, “I provide pain.”
He continued to go deeper into the demon's lair.
…
“… I held the sharp toothbrush against my neck.”
"It was sharp and stinging and cold. The blood flowed to my chest and I looked up and saw my mother."
"I apologized to her. I really am."
"I have prayed to God countless times, clasped my hands together, and prayed desperately."
"But the only thing I could feel was the blood and the spikes in my hands... that warmth."
"No one... No one responded to me."
“No one responded…”
“No one responded…”
“I’m the only one here.”
…
New minions of the devil appeared in front of Bane.
It's 3 o'clock in the morning.
"I'm the amygdala." The muscular man said, "Do you have my special medicine?"
"And I'm a movie geek. Say hello to my little buddy."
(Note: Say hello to my little friend! This line comes from "Scarface". Movie Freak is a villain who likes to say movie lines)
Bane felt tired.
He pressed on his back to increase the efficiency of the venom input.
"I am torture."
The muscles swelled up under the effect of the medicine.
"I am destruction."
Veins twisted and bulged out from beneath his skin.
"I am Venom."
Bane's body grew taller and taller, and the huge shadow was cast down and onto the faces of the two men.
"I'm Bane."
Bane saw the fear on the other's face. It was his old friend who was very familiar to him.
"You stand between me and Batman, and therefore you must fall."
Intense screams, screams at the top of one's lungs.
The scarecrow stood quietly at the corner.
"Loneliness phobia, the fear of being alone..."
Violent screams were heard continuously, singing along with his voice.
"General phobia, fear of something terrible to come... Fear of failure..."
He muttered to himself.
His whispers, accompanied by the symphony of screams, reached their climax at this moment.
"Phobia of vomiting... Phobia of bleeding..."
Then it gradually died down, as quiet as death, and as peaceful as a tombstone.
“Pain phobia… Death phobia… Religious phobia…”
"And most horrifying of all... scarecrow phobia."
Scarecrow whipped around, turned the corner, and aimed the muzzle of his massive fear gas spray gun at Bane.
"Fear of the Scarecrow!"
Squeak!
Bane was shrouded in a large cloud of mist.
"Peptide…peptide carboxylic acid dihydrogen."
Scarecrow dropped the spray gun, walked up to Bane and poked him tentatively. At this moment, he looked like a primary school student waiting for a reply from his teacher.
"Super concentrated fear gas. Twenty times more effective than the normal version."
Bane slowly fell to his knees.
"It's well worth using it on you. Its effects are very powerful, so it's very likely to summon a terrible nightmare."
“Ah!!!! Aaaah!!!!!”
The surviving movie freak next to him accidentally inhaled a little bit of it. He screamed at the top of his lungs, his mouth open until his jaw was dislocated from the force.
The scarecrow slowly squatted in front of Bane. "Those terrible nightmares, all the horrors, can you see them? Can you hear them?"
"Hmmmm..."
"Perhaps... more precisely, if you wish..."
An excited yet malicious smile appeared on the Scarecrow's face. "Perhaps you could describe them to me."
"I… "
Scarecrow smiled smugly and said, "Yes, what is that like? Are you falling? Are you being devoured? Is it cancer?"
"Well, is the water rising again? Are you going to drown, little boy?"
His face flushed with sickness: "Well. Tell me quickly, what kind of nightmare do you have?"
But the next second, his collar was grabbed by Bane.
"I am Bane, I don't have nightmares."
A fierce fear seized upon the Scarecrow.
"I spread nightmares!"
Bane raised his fist... but he didn't have time to bring it down.
The ice froze his body.
"As you know, in the past four days, I have been studying your venom samples almost 24 hours a day."
Mr. Freeze slowly walked out from the other side, holding a freezing gun in his hand.
"Plus, with a large amount of information available for reference, my understanding of the composition, properties and functions of venom, a complex solution, is now as thorough as my understanding of ice."
Mr. Freeze approached slowly. "Speaking of which, you are currently being squeezed by 2,737 pounds of solid ice per cubic meter. A perfect human being injected with the maximum possible dose of venom cannot even escape from being trapped by 1,500 pounds of ice per cubic meter. So you see, escaping is very—"
With a loud bang, the ice exploded easily. With one punch, the armor on Mr. Freeze's body was shattered, and he flew backwards like a kite.
The scarecrow slipped away immediately.
"No... Impossible!"
“Nothing is impossible.”
Bane told him.
"Only Bane."
firefly.
4:53 am.
The armor biscuits on Firefly's body are usually removed.
He barely raised the flamethrower and pointed it at Bane, but Bane didn't even try to dodge.
"Everything you do is in vain."
He ignored the burning fire singeing every hair on his body. He grabbed Firefly by the neck and gave him an uppercut.
"I will find Batman, and I will defeat him."
Black Spider, 8:36 AM.
The Black Spider's whole body was twisted in defeat.
Bane gasped.
"All of it, all of you. Madness, fighting, death, venom."
"I'm done."
…
"I prayed desperately, but still no one responded to me."
Dr. Pigface, 10:45 AM.
Behind Bane's departing figure was Dr. Pig-faced, who was lying on the ground with a big hole in his stomach.
"Then finally I saw it, and I saw it clearly. I let it go and let the spike slide off."
Man-Bat, 2:41 p.m.
His wings were torn off.
Mr. Zas, 5:51 pm.
"It is done. I have made up my mind what I shall become. My life is no longer mine. I say it softly—"
Copperhead, 8:07 p.m.
Dr. Phosphorus, 11:11 PM.
Bane's hood was half burned off.
"My oath."
"That's what happened. It was a choice a child made, and he chose to die. And Bane was reborn in that body..."
"I am Bane."
"I am everything!"
In the dull air, the masked man roared and waved flames;
And the dark clouds of hunger are swaying quietly in the deep sea.
It's 1 o'clock in the morning.
After going through untold hardships, the bloody warrior Bane finally arrived in front of the Bat King's car.
"Batman. I have a hostage."
He said:
"It's Jim Gordon."
