Narrator: Previously on beware the batman...
Freeze, batman!
(screaming)
I'm not that harvey dent anymore.
Thanks to batman.
Batman: Deathstroke's not dead.
Dane lisslow, slade wilson...
All three the same man.
I couldn't allow dent to kill you.
But, now you and I will face our destiny together.
(explosion)
Katana: (whispers) wake up, katana.
Wake up.
Batman.
(groaning)
Are you hurt? How did you...
I'm not sure.
Explosion threw me clear.
Utility belt must have torn free.
(police siren wailing)
(beeping)
(whirring)
Batmobile: Hello, batman.
Your body mass index has changed.
Are you retaining water?
(explosions)
Once that fire catches hold, the whole place could go in a matter of minutes.
(explosion)
Alfred.
Where are you? I saw the helicopter go down.
We're all right. We lost deathstroke.
Are you picking up anything from gotham pd?
Nothing on deathstroke.
But you should know that it looks like.
All of dent's scu is descending on your location.
(gunshots)
(grunting)
(grunts)
I assume you have a plan?
(screams)
(grunts)
(door cracking)
(computer beeping)
Thank goodness, you're all right.
When we were cut off, I thought...
Expecting someone else?
You tell me, what mask are you hiding behind today?
Dane lisslow?
Slade wilson?
No more masks.
All right then.
I hope you remember your training.
(both grunting)
(groaning)
- (siren wailing) - (helicopter blades whirring)
Did someone steal the batmobile?
Is that even possible?
Alfred, lock down the batcave. Deathstroke's...
Deathstroke: Hello, batman.
Don't worry, alfred's alive,
But whether he remains that way or not.
Depends on you.
You know where we are.
Come alone.
Anarky: Wake up, harv.
Wake up.
Oh, goody, you're not dead.
That would have put such a damper on our victory.
Victory? What are you talking about?
Batman and our former colleague, deathstroke, have...
What's the opposite of risen from the ashes?
Died.
The fires of revenge may burn slowly,
But they're burning now.
Batman dead?
It should've been by our hand.
Still, he paid for what he did to us.
Nothing to stand in our way now.
Exactly.
Gotham is ours for the plucking.
Yes.
But you misunderstand.
When I said "ours",
I wasn't including you.
Deathstroke is leading you into a trap.
Of course he is.
And by walking into it, he'll lead me to alfred.
Unless he kills you first.
At bruce wayne's funeral, alfred said something that stuck.
A single twig breaks...
But the bundle of twigs is strong.
You're not alone.
Let me help you.
I don't want to bury bruce wayne and batman for real this time.
I don't intend to lose.
Barbara, I need you to get the vehicle.
And meet me at the entrance to the cauldron.
I'm disappointed.
I thought we were cohorts, collaborators, partners.
Two's a partnership, three's a liability.
"Three"?
It appears we're not only parting ways,
But minds as well.
(clicking)
(grunts)
(both grunting)
Why the long face?
Or, in your case,
Two face.
Didn't you realize I could kill you as easily I created you?
(gunshot)
Freeze, anarky!
Ow!
Way to wreck the moment, gordon.
- (groans) - welcome to the game, harv.
Are you hurt?
I'm fine!
Better than fine!
You've always been a boy scout, gordon.
You should think about running for mayor.
We aren't interested anymore.
See you around.
"We"?
(door crashing)
Deathstroke: (over pa) before we begin,
I want to apologize for the dane lisslow charade.
And his explosive finale.
Did you like the body?
Something I picked up at the morgue.
You're an assassin.
Getting close to your prey is your job.
Assassin? Yes.
That is who I am.
That is all alfred pennyworth left for me.
When he destroyed my life.
Huh?
You and your other self, bruce wayne,
Have led an extraordinary life, batman.
Not unlike a life I once saw for myself.
Where is he?
Where is alfred?
- (door opens) - He's waiting for you.
(tires screeching)
Well, what do you think? Perfect?
Perfect? Could you have found something more conspicuous?
It was the only vehicle I could get the keys to.
Here, put this on.
From here on out, you're oracle.
Okay, but why the disguise all of a sudden?
Because I brought along some friends.
You can come out now!
Cool.
Deathstroke: I knew you'd come alone.
Nice room, by the way.
Let alfred go. It's me you want.
No, this is about both of you.
- (explosions) - (screams)
- (groaning) - (fire crackling)
It will truly be an honor when I kill you.
And take your place.
Alfred: Wake up, batman.
- Wake up. - (groaning)
Alfred.
He's gone, but no doubt not for long.
What do we know?
He's cut the elevator cables.
And destroyed the hydraulics to the batcave's entrance.
We're trapped in here.
All three of us.
Your sons have come home, alfred.
One, a hero,
One, a villain.
And tonight...
You're gonna watch your son die.
What happened between us is in the past.
Ah, yes, the past.
You couldn't leave it alone.
Had to start asking people questions.
About slade wilson.
People who don't like former mi6 agents.
Snooping in their business.
People who began to think I'd been compromised!
People who tried to kill me!
I was trying to make amends.
For what happened years ago.
- (grunts) - cia burned me because of you.
I lost my family, my life.
And you replace me with this?
A spoiled, rich boy?
Was it the money?
You saw a sucker in wayne and you dug in?
I chose bruce.
Because I saw in him what I never saw in you, slade, empathy.
Compassion for other human beings.
Even at his worst,
Bruce wayne and batman.
Are better men than you ever were.
(grunting)
Stop!
(groans)
(grunts)
- (strains) - (buzzer sounding)
(groans)
One thing I discovered while I was researching you, batman.
You always plan ahead.
So do i.
-(beeping) -you have an impressive arsenal here.
Although keeping so much c4 in one place in very dangerous.
I took the liberty of spreading it throughout the cave.
Those explosives go off, you die, too.
I'm going to give you two choices.
Lay down your life with honor to me,
Or see everything you built destroyed.
You forgot the third choice.
(both grunting)
That detonator has a 16-digit kill code.
Only I can stop the timer.
Then I'll just have to convince you.
(both grunting)
(screams)
(straining)
(groans)
We're still sealed in here with that c4 to contend with.
There's another way.
I can override the door manually.
(beeping)
(footsteps approaching)
(grunts)
(both grunting)
No. He's mine.
The batcave's been rigged with explosives. Not much time.
We're on it.
Please tell me that's not how long we have.
Alfred: Deathstroke has planted c4 all over the cave.
And locked his detonator with a 16-digit kill code.
Detonator? Where is it?
It was knocked away. In the corner, I think.
Nice pad.
This is my second time here.
Well, aren't you special!
Found it.
(whirring)
Oracle, what are you doing?
Detonators work on frequency conversion.
If we can track the signal...
We can find the bombs. Clever girl.
They're all over.
We'll never get them in time.
Don't be so sure.
How much can you lift?
(indistinct clanking)
(both grunting)
It's fitting, the two of us, brothers that we are,
Meeting our end together.
Where is your honor? Face me!
(floodlights switched on)
You're not my brother!
(both grunting)
And you don't know the first thing about honor.
(both grunting)
(groans)
(screams)
How do we disarm them?
I... I just knew how to find them.
There's no time left.
Stand back.
(groans)
You're too late.
(screams)
(groans)
Metamorpho?
Ow.
(metal clanking)
You're done.
Perhaps.
But so are you.
Or have you forgotten?
I know your secret,
Bruce.
(grunts)
Don't move.
As soon as we hand him over to gotham pd,
He'll reveal bruce wayne.
It's over, alfred.
Perhaps not.
Batman protects this city.
He's protected all of you at one time.
If the truth of who he is beneath the mask is revealed,
That will end.
What can we do?
You're a scientist.
And you can generate any element.
Can you erase his mind?
Intriguing.
Uh, there is an enzyme, pkmzeta.
Give me its properties.
I can't let you do this.
This isn't just about batman.
It's about gotham,
And these outsiders who've risked their lives to help you continue your fight.
Stand clear, everyone.
(groans)
(gasping)
Where am I?
What are you people?
Well, that worked.
You're back in business.
Not just me, we.
I'm not alone.
Not anymore.
Bravo, batman.
Checkmate.
Shall we play again?
