Wir könnten sie schaden. Grün. Als ich ein Kind war, in Chicago, haben wir an St. Patrick's-Tag geschaut. Wir haben die Schulen geschlossen, damit wir in der Stadt die Parade sehen konnten. Die Stadt wurde grün, und wir dachten, es sei die Arbeit von Leprechaunen. St. Patrick's-Tag. Wir denken immer an Grün. Nein, es ist rot. Blutrot. St.

Patrick's Day kommt und wir sind nicht mehr so nah, wie wir wissen, wer dieser blöde Mann ist. Holiday. Was ist mit Wayne? Nimm es langsam. Konzentriere dich auf Moroni. Er ist der schwere Link. Moroni und Wayne. Zwei für einen. Ich mag es. Ich muss dem Boss sagen. Er wird es nicht mögen.

All I'm saying, Barbara, is I'm sorry we didn't get to go away all summer. Well, it's September and it's cooling off. Maybe we see a drop in the crime rate. Get that, will ya?

District Attorney Dent. I don't want to hear that kind of talk coming from you. Either publicly or privately.

Batman? I think he left. We were in the middle of a conversation. Where would he be off to now?

Of course I know how late it is. Barbara, I'm packing up now. I love you too, dear. No, no, no, that's okay. Let the boy go to sleep. Kevin Gordon. Harvey, you look like you've been hit by a truck.

District Attorney Harvey Dent? This is... That's dead. Well, I don't have to be a detective to see you two already know each other.

I want to be clear on this. In our zeal to bring Falcone to justice, I'll let you bend the rules, but we cannot break them. Otherwise, how are we different from him?

And yet... Batman, I have to have your word. Agreed. Okay, then. Gone. He does that. Annoying, isn't it? You know, there was a time when I suspected you were the Batman.

Wait, was that here before? No. Batman must have left it. It's the Romans. How did... Don't ask. Harvey, this is a ledger with dates and dollar amounts. I believe in Jim Gordon.

September 7th. Sarah's arms are strong. Her whole body's strong. It's late. We both work late again. So here we are, sharing a forbidden kiss in my office. I never get tired around her. She's requested a transfer. She's leaving Gotham City. I'm in love with her. It's the only thing to do.

No sign of the motorcycle. Plenty of places to hide in here. Come on. Come on, I'm ready for you. Oh, God, no. James in the car. Johnny Vitti's got him. Two of Falcone's thugs walk slowly across the parking garage holding Barbara at gunpoint. Jim?

If I let them go, they're dead. Can't go for a wound. I take the shot. One down. Good, Barbara. Stay low. I fire again. I got the other one, but I catch one in his shoulder. Throws my aim off just for a second. My shot at Johnny VD goes wide.

I catch up to them on the bridge. One round left in the chamber. Bullseye! Driver hits the brakes. Too late. Going too fast. The bridge shakes. I listen to rending metal and clattering glass. The radiator hisses, spits water on the street. I ditch the bike. Approach the vehicle. I don't hear a human sound. I don't hear my baby cry.

That's right. Good boy. Good boy. Settle down now. You're safe. You must be wearing some armor under that jacket. Yes. You know, I'm practically blind without my glasses. You better go. Take care of the boy. December 3rd. Turns out Flass is smarter than anybody knew. He took notes on every little talk he'd had with Commissioner Loeb. Dates, times, it was all there.

Two weeks and five days in jail, and he remembered where he kept the notes. Loeb's holding up pretty well under the strain. Judge Norton's on the case, so I don't think Dent has a chance of putting him behind bars. But word is, Loeb's conferring with the mayor on the terms of his resignation. They've already got Grogan primed to replace him. Who's worse? Still, things aren't so bad right now.

Roman's been at war with his sister ever since he tried to get a hired knife slit between his nephew's ribs. I had a few run-ins with his sister back in Chicago a few years ago. I don't envy the Roman. They were all too busy to stand in the way of my promotion to captain. Sarah's in New York, doing well, I hear. Barbara's not crazy about the marriage counselor, but we're making progress.

As for me, well, there's a real panic on. Somebody's threatened to poison the Gotham Reservoir. Calls himself the Joker. I've got a friend coming who might be able to help. He should be here any minute.

I know you're not on the take, and I don't think you're crazy. So tell me why you let them let skeevers out on the street, Dent.

September 25th. Good afternoon, Mr. Gordon. Wayne Manor. The butler makes us feel as welcome as a virus. He leads us through a few dozen rooms the size of small states to Wayne's study. Wayne's been out of the country. Wayne's had the flu. This morning I was told he had a hangover, but he'd see me.

Barbara. Mr. Wayne, I need to know where you were on the following dates. June 2nd, he laughs and rings for his butler. June 5th, his butler brings his date book. I could auction off the phone numbers in it for a fortune. They're all women. They're all famous. They're all beautiful. What would you think?

He's acting like one, that's for sure. But... Any man who'd wear a cape, and it is a cape, not wings, I've seen it. Any man who'd wear a cape, hunt criminals, might go pretty far to keep his secrets. Secrets. Damn it all.

Whatever he's scared of, it's... What's so funny, Dent? Nothing. October 12th. I'm chain-smoking outside the maternity ward. Barbara's been in there too long. Why won't they let me see her?

Oh nein, es gibt Macht in meinem Hals. Fangen wir es an. Ich habe noch Waffen in meinen Schuhen. Ich brauche sie, wenn ich das überlebe. Gefahr, Elektrizität. Verletzte Türen, Metall. Es könnte genug sein, um mich zu schützen. Obwohl diese Warnung eine Lüge ist. Verlockt. Glücklich, dass ich den Pick in meinen Hals behalte.

Ich brauche diese Blutung unter Kontrolle. Der einzige andere Überlebende der Angriffen teilt mit mir eine verschwindende Schatten. Ich zeige ihm eine Entschuldigung. Ich habe eine Menge von Dingen gemacht. Ich habe es aus der Hand genommen. Durch einen Krack in der Wand sehe ich den Feind schließen. Unabhängig. Unabhängig. Ich habe früher die Sonne wunderschön gefunden.

I leave the casts and the sleeping alibis back at the lodge. They were so eager to support my story with Lieutenant Gordon. All I had to say was that a woman was involved. One of them even pretended to be me, just for laughs, before I arrived. The air is cold and sharp and hard to breathe. It's good to be alive. This isn't a game. I can't afford mistakes.

I've spoken to the district attorney's office, Julian, and they're willing to commute your sentence to time served if you'll help us with these murders. Our feeling is, with your interest in committing crime to coincide with dates on the calendar, you might have some insight.

All I'm saying, Barbara, is I'm sorry we didn't get to go away all summer. Well, it's September and it's cooling off. Maybe we see a drop in the crime rate. Get that, will ya?

Barbara. Gordon here. Oh, dear Lord. No, no. I'll call Harvey.

What's up?

District Attorney Dent. I don't want to hear that kind of talk coming from you. Either publicly or privately.

Batman? I think he left. We were in the middle of a conversation. Where would he be off to now?

Of course I know how late it is. Barbara, I'm packing up now. I love you too, dear. No, no, no, that's okay. Let the boy go to sleep. Kevin Gordon. Harvey, you look like you've been hit by a truck.

Harvey, we've talked about this. We've talked about taking needless chances.

I have a friend who wants to help.

As long as it takes. Oh. Must be hell on a marriage. Barbara understands. Why? You and Gilda having problems? It's nothing that can't be handled.

District Attorney Harvey Dent? This is... That's dead. Well, I don't have to be a detective to see you two already know each other.

I want to be clear on this. In our zeal to bring Falcone to justice, I'll let you bend the rules, but we cannot break them. Otherwise, how are we different from him?

And yet... Batman, I have to have your word. Agreed. Okay, then. Gone. He does that. Annoying, isn't it? You know, there was a time when I suspected you were the Batman.

Wait, was that here before? No. Batman must have left it. It's the Romans. How did... Don't ask. Harvey, this is a ledger with dates and dollar amounts. I believe in Jim Gordon.

My turn, honey.

James.

Easy now. I'm getting it warm, James. I'm warming it up, you see? Yes, Commissioner? Sir, Merkel's on duty. He can... Yes, sir. On my way.

September 7th. Sarah's arms are strong. Her whole body's strong. It's late. We both work late again. So here we are, sharing a forbidden kiss in my office. I never get tired around her. She's requested a transfer. She's leaving Gotham City. I'm in love with her. It's the only thing to do.

No sign of the motorcycle. Plenty of places to hide in here. Come on. Come on, I'm ready for you. Oh, God, no. James in the car. Johnny Vitti's got him. Two of Falcone's thugs walk slowly across the parking garage holding Barbara at gunpoint. Jim?

If I let them go, they're dead. Can't go for a wound. I take the shot. One down. Good, Barbara. Stay low. I fire again. I got the other one, but I catch one in his shoulder. Throws my aim off just for a second. My shot at Johnny VD goes wide.

Get out of here, Barbara. Call a cop.

I catch up to them on the bridge. One round left in the chamber. Bullseye! Driver hits the brakes. Too late. Going too fast. The bridge shakes. I listen to rending metal and clattering glass. The radiator hisses, spits water on the street. I ditch the bike. Approach the vehicle. I don't hear a human sound. I don't hear my baby cry.

The driver's side door flies open, knocking me back against the metal rail.

That's right. Good boy. Good boy. Settle down now. You're safe. You must be wearing some armor under that jacket. Yes. You know, I'm practically blind without my glasses. You better go. Take care of the boy. December 3rd. Turns out Flass is smarter than anybody knew. He took notes on every little talk he'd had with Commissioner Loeb. Dates, times, it was all there.

Two weeks and five days in jail, and he remembered where he kept the notes. Loeb's holding up pretty well under the strain. Judge Norton's on the case, so I don't think Dent has a chance of putting him behind bars. But word is, Loeb's conferring with the mayor on the terms of his resignation. They've already got Grogan primed to replace him. Who's worse? Still, things aren't so bad right now.

Roman's been at war with his sister ever since he tried to get a hired knife slit between his nephew's ribs. I had a few run-ins with his sister back in Chicago a few years ago. I don't envy the Roman. They were all too busy to stand in the way of my promotion to captain. Sarah's in New York, doing well, I hear. Barbara's not crazy about the marriage counselor, but we're making progress.

As for me, well, there's a real panic on. Somebody's threatened to poison the Gotham Reservoir. Calls himself the Joker. I've got a friend coming who might be able to help. He should be here any minute.

I know you're not on the take, and I don't think you're crazy. So tell me why you let them let skeevers out on the street, Dent.

September 12th. Skeevers? You look like hell.

Merkle, get Dent. Forget to tell the commissioner. I'm gone.

September 13th.

And you go and... I've done exactly what I promised, Commissioner. You get my best work.

How did you get this?

September 25th. Good afternoon, Mr. Gordon. Wayne Manor. The butler makes us feel as welcome as a virus. He leads us through a few dozen rooms the size of small states to Wayne's study. Wayne's been out of the country. Wayne's had the flu. This morning I was told he had a hangover, but he'd see me.

Mr. Wayne, I don't want to waste your time.

Barbara. Mr. Wayne, I need to know where you were on the following dates. June 2nd, he laughs and rings for his butler. June 5th, his butler brings his date book. I could auction off the phone numbers in it for a fortune. They're all women. They're all famous. They're all beautiful. What would you think?

He's acting like one, that's for sure. But... Any man who'd wear a cape, and it is a cape, not wings, I've seen it. Any man who'd wear a cape, hunt criminals, might go pretty far to keep his secrets. Secrets. Damn it all.

September 2nd. It's the right thing to do. It's the only thing to do. You should take the bracelet.

Honey, there's something we have to talk about.

Now he's moving.

October 2nd.

October 5th.

Please, Sarah, keep it.

October 7th. Somebody slips rat poison into Skeever's food. Markle gets his stomach pumped in time. Skeever's is still going to testify against Flass. Doesn't care that his attorney quit. Whatever he's scared of, it's... What's so funny, Dent? Nothing. October 12th. I'm chain-smoking outside the maternity ward. Barbara's been in there too long. Why won't they let me see her?

Counting every minute, it's torture.

Lieutenant Gordon? Yes? It's a boy. Your wife is fine.

Sure, where am I supposed to sell it? I thought you'd have jewels or paintings. This toy doesn't even work.

Aces. Selina, you don't want them to know it was you.

Oh nein, es gibt Macht in meinem Hals. Fangen wir es an. Ich habe noch Waffen in meinen Schuhen. Ich brauche sie, wenn ich das überlebe. Gefahr, Elektrizität. Verletzte Türen, Metall. Es könnte genug sein, um mich zu schützen. Obwohl diese Warnung eine Lüge ist. Verlockt. Glücklich, dass ich den Pick in meinen Hals behalte.

Lieutenant Gordon, you shouldn't be standing just yet.

Zu viele Menschen sind bereits gestorben. Wenn die anderen Squaden zurückkehren, kann ich ihnen die Sicherheit nicht garantieren.

Ich brauche diese Blutung unter Kontrolle. Der einzige andere Überlebende der Angriffen teilt mit mir eine verschwindende Schatten. Ich zeige ihm eine Entschuldigung. Ich habe eine Menge von Dingen gemacht. Ich habe es aus der Hand genommen. Durch einen Krack in der Wand sehe ich den Feind schließen. Unabhängig. Unabhängig. Ich habe früher die Sonne wunderschön gefunden.

Ich wusste, er würde nicht ruhig bleiben. Siamese. In die Blutwaffe und ihre drei Darts. Und eine unbekannte Erfindung von Windelektronik, die in meinem Boot ist. Ich habe es nicht getestet, um so weit weg zu sein. Extraordinary Creatures, Bats. Sie sind sensibel zu einer Range von Geräuschen, die weit außerhalb des menschlichen Hörers sind.

Es hat mich Wege gedauert, einen ultrasonischen Ton zu finden, der sie beeinflusst. Alle. Aber Wayne Manor ist weit von Gotham. Es wird ein paar Minuten dauern, bis ich hier bin. Sollte es gut gehen. Ich bereite die Blutwaffe bereit. Steady, man. It's just that cat again. Getting on my nerves. Where the hell did he drop this on the door? Wherever Batman is, he's stronger than... Quiet.

He could be anywhere.

Zwei Darts. Ich glaube, jemand hat einen Katzen.

Share a cab?

Think of her as a cop.

I leave the casts and the sleeping alibis back at the lodge. They were so eager to support my story with Lieutenant Gordon. All I had to say was that a woman was involved. One of them even pretended to be me, just for laughs, before I arrived. The air is cold and sharp and hard to breathe. It's good to be alive. This isn't a game. I can't afford mistakes.

Auf meiner Seite.

Mhm. Geld. Lieutenant, Bruce Wayne ist der reichste Mann in Gotham. Und weil er aus der Stadt ist, wissen Sie das vielleicht nicht, aber seine Eltern wurden verurteilt. Von einem Muggler, denke ich. Er war damals nur ein kleiner Junge.

Ich habe dich.

Lass dich nicht bewegen. Lieutenant, bist du in Ordnung?

I said no, sir. He hasn't fired a shot. He doesn't even have a criminal record. Got the word from Arkham Asylum. His name is Albert Bloom. He's a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, released two weeks ago from Arkham. No history of violent behavior. Huh? Sir, trouble.

Hände auf.

Be safe, baby.

I call it my night off.

Hast du Batman gesehen, Herr Kommissar? Sie sagen, er ist groß.

Diese Männer, sie haben wahrscheinlich Familien.

He'll never report it.

You'll get my best work, Commissioner Loeb. I promise. And we are a team. A team needs team spirit, don't you think? Yes, it does.

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's smoking. What mistakes have you made, Lieutenant?

Last thing.

Du wirst absolut warten, bis ich an der Konferenz in Washington bin. Zwei Flaschen Flaschen. Der Motor fängt langsam an. Nicht ganz überzeugt, dass es stoppen soll. Es ist der 11. März. Alles ist in Ordnung.
