"What do you mean... You... You think that just by pretending to be disdainful, you can... "
Bane was in chaos.
He had replayed Batman's possible reactions countless times in his mind.
The other party is furious, the other party attacks me, the other party responds calmly, and the other party has other backup plans...
He also repeatedly pondered his response. He even listed dozens of methods for different situations on draft paper, making sure to induce Batman to be forced to destroy the bodies of the Waynes under various circumstances, so as to completely make Batman lose his mind in grief and anger and weaken his judgment as much as possible.
He planned it well, he had been planning it for a long time, and he was as serious as a student trying to memorize all the answers before an exam.
But why, the exam content has changed?!
His brain came to a standstill.
But Bane's energy was only disrupted for a short moment.
“That doesn’t make sense.”
He said: "I have studied you, Batman. The opportunity for you to become Batman comes from the departure of your parents and childhood trauma..."
Me too.
Bane said silently in his heart.
Batman, childhood adversity shapes us, and that is what connects you and me. We are so similar, we are the same kind of people.
"Your parents play a very important role in your life. You can never ignore them. Stand up, Batman. Such tricks cannot deceive me. Instead, they will tarnish our battle."
"When you saw me dig them out of their graves, you should have known what was going on. I'm going to—"
"Hahaha, do you want to grind them into ashes, or take their bones apart and make bone soup?"
Then he saw Batman and said, "Cook it, cook it quickly, and when the soup is done, remember to give me a bowl."
sluggish.
"vomit!"
Thomas Wayne, who was standing stupidly in front of Bane, suddenly vomited, and a large amount of disgusting green mucus came out of his mouth. The mucus dripped onto the ground, and in just a few seconds it broke through the floor tiles, and a lush green sapling grew on the ground.
Bane's face darkened.
"All right."
He hooked his fingers, and then Thomas Wayne jumped on the spot and rushed towards Batman in an anti-human posture like a 365-degree Thomas spin.
He manipulated Bruce Wayne's biological mother Martha Wayne as a shield, and the whole person followed closely behind.
As long as Batman hesitates a little when facing his own father, he will have the opportunity to really inflict heavy damage on him before revealing his final trump card.
Squeak!
Chen Tao didn't care at all. Half of his arm disintegrated into black sand, and then condensed into a blade, piercing directly through Thomas Wayne's chest. Then he took off Thomas Wayne's head as easily as taking the cherry off a cream cake.
Bane stopped moving, his running posture paused, and he silently looked at Chen Tao who was tossing the cherry up and down in his hand.
"Tsk, look at that."
Chen Tao said: "The parents exchanged for expired parent vouchers are also expired."
"..." Bain was speechless for a moment.
"What does this tell us? Don't use expired stuff."
Bane opened his mouth and tried his best to organize his words, but he felt that all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, like a mouthful of phlegm, which he could neither spit out nor swallow back.
Chen Tao weighed the cherry in his hand, and then his eyes stayed on the hole in Thomas Wayne's chest: "But this story also tells us that we should be more open-minded, even if it is expired..."
"Enough! Stop talking!" Bane covered his head. He didn't know why he was the one who was irritated. Thomas Wayne was not his father.
But at this moment, Chen Tao only felt that his thoughts were clear and his heart was at ease.
Yes, this is who he really is.
For so long, he had always subconsciously imitated the Batman's style of doing things and his plans in the comics, to the point where he almost lost himself, and even his speech and walk had a strong Bruce flavor...
But that's not right.
Whether to become Batman temporarily or be determined to deal with Bane, this is Chen Tao's choice. Even if he wears Batman's mask, what he practices should be Chen Tao's justice - Batman's justice.
Just like he had murdered the clown without hesitation before.
He can imitate or even completely replicate what Bruce does, but he should never become him—or rather, no one can become him.
His sorrow, his pain, his love, his hatred, Chen Tao found that he could not and did not need to become him.
"This doesn't make sense." Bane repeated what he had said before in an incredulous tone: "Why?"
Because even though I decided to be Batman for the time being, I'm not Bruce Wayne.
Well, of course you can't answer Bane like that.
So Chen Tao used a panacea answer:
"Because I'm Batman."
Bane was silent.
"I understand."
"?"
What do you understand
"You're crazy!"
Why did you suddenly start swearing at people
"I am so stupid that I haven't figured out your true nature until now."
Bain said:
"You consider the identity of Batman above the identity of Bruce Wayne. Although I haven't met other super-vigilantes, I can basically guess what they are like: they wear a superhero mask, but they are still just ordinary people under the mask."
"You are different." Bane concluded: "There is no Bruce Wayne disguised as Batman, there is only Batman disguised as Bruce Wayne."
"My mistake was that I tried to use normal people's logic to deduce your behavior, but ignored the fact that you and your enemies are both crazy. Among crazy people, there is never a question of which one is more crazy or more crazy."
"Therefore, Bruce Wayne's sorrow and hatred are not important at all. No matter how I hurt Thomas Wayne, it is impossible to mobilize Batman's emotions, because Bruce Wayne does not exist... He is just a fake person, a mask. Under the mask is only you... Batman, a madman."
This is such a huge misunderstanding.
Chen Tao thought to himself: I'm just wearing a Batman mask.
Of course, he had no intention of exposing Bane's conclusion... Frankly speaking, in the absence of the most crucial information that "Batman is a time traveler", Bane's deduction seemed to be the most logical conclusion.
Based on a wrong premise, he deduced a complete set of logic, then convinced himself, and then acted out his astonishment...
Uh, never mind, let this misunderstanding be.
Chen Tao stuffed Bruce Wayne's father's big head back to its original place.
The plants connected the broken parts, and Thomas Wayne murmured incoherently:
"Aba abababa..."
"So... Bane. Let's reveal the last of our cards at once. You're not out of tricks, are you?"
"Of course not."
Bane answered him.
He reached out and called back Thomas Wayne, then took out a projection communicator from Martha Wayne and mounted it on his arm.
"Nuclear bomb."
He said: "Now the Joker is preparing to launch a nuclear bomb."
He clicked on the communicator, and as the three-dimensional image lit up, the clown appeared on the two-dimensional screen projected by the light.
"Hahahahaha, Bat! Guess what a surprise is?"
