Admit it, Batman. It's not you, it's not Harvey, it's us who changed this city! You roam around at night like a big bat, taking down one criminal after another, and then what? The colluding officials will let them out again..."
"You money-grubber!" Batman said.
"Don't say the same thing as Maroni and his gang. You're different from them. You can't do anything you want to do. In their eyes, you're more like a monster. Now that the police need you, they will try their best to curry favor with you, but when you're no longer useful, they will talk about morality and justice - like a group of clowns. When they encounter trouble, they hide faster than anyone else, unlike us, we..."
"Enough! Harvey could have done everything you could do! Harvey would have done better than you. He is the legal glory, and he would have changed Gotham in a legal way! Now, tell me—where is Harvey?!"
Batman grabbed the Joker's collar and lifted him up, staring at the Joker with bloodshot eyes like bells.
"You are so hypocritical. Your heart is obviously darker than anyone else, but you insist on pretending to be nobler than anyone else. Look, look at your face, it's no longer a human face. It's still a mask after you take off the mask!" The Joker pointed at Batman.
"Where's Harvey?!" Batman picked up the Joker and slammed him against the wall, making a loud bang.
"Listen, I only have one principle, and you can only reveal the truth by breaking this principle." The Joker said, "The only way to survive in this world is to have no principles. Tonight, you will break your only principle. Batman, I will give you the opportunity to choose, and you will have the opportunity to save the people you want to save."
The Joker kicked Batman, and there was a slight sound when the armor touched him, but he was still pinned to the wall. He could only shrug nonchalantly: "You caught me, but don't forget that there is another guy who you think is unforgivable. He is much more troublesome than me. You claim to be the protector of Gotham City, but you are unable to protect this city."
"What do you want to say?"
"Harvey Dent, it's useless to want to rescue him. Even if you rescue him, there will be someone else doing the same thing as me. I tried to negotiate with him, but failed, so I can only start with you. Now, Batman, kill Donny, and I will tell you Harvey's location. You will have to deal with him sooner or later anyway, that's what you think. Prove to me that you are not a hypocritical person. You claim to be a guardian, so what can you do for this city?" The Joker laughed lowly.
Batman gritted his teeth and punched the Joker several times, causing the corner of the Joker's mouth to bleed, but the Joker didn't care at all and just stared at Batman with a mocking look. The last time, Batman threw the Joker over his shoulder and threw him onto the table. Although the Joker screamed in pain from time to time, he clenched his teeth and didn't intend to say anything more.
Behind Batman's mask, a gloomy face appeared. He slowly walked out of the dark interrogation room, exuding a dangerous aura. His large, custom-made cape swung as he moved, rubbing against the wall with a grinding sound.
Sheriff Gordon, who was waiting outside, came forward immediately and stood in front of Batman to stop him.
"I have urgently arranged for all police officers to conduct a city-wide search. Even if the Joker doesn't tell us, we still have a chance to find Harvey. You don't have to listen to him at all. He is instigating you to cause trouble for Donny. He did it on purpose!" A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Gordon's forehead. He stood in front of Batman and stood there like a nail.
"At least he's right about one thing, Donny is a big trouble, I won't let him go on like this. A large number of people die every day, we have to stop this behavior at the source. As long as Harvey is here, we can transform Gotham in a more reasonable and peaceful way." Batman's voice was hoarse, "I will capture Donny, then find Harvey and get Gotham City back on track.
Everything will turn out for the better."
The other police officers fell silent. It was hard to say who was right or wrong in this matter, but Harvey was in danger now, so they naturally had to put Harvey first.
"Can you beat Donny? It is said that he is very strong." A young police officer suddenly asked the most crucial question.
"He's not powerful at all. When he used ridiculous means to send civilians to their deaths, he exposed his despicable heart. If he were truly powerful, he wouldn't have let the weak and poor people die. I'm confident enough to defeat him and capture him!"
As soon as the words fell, Batman left quietly, leaving only a group of police officers who were stunned. Everyone stood there in silence for a long time.
"Can Batman catch Donny?" someone murmured.
"Yes, he never lies." Gordon nodded heavily.
"So is Donnie really wrong? Sometimes I feel like he..." The young police officer's voice became weaker and weaker.
Many people were silent.
In the end, it was old Sheriff Gordon who managed to cheer up: "Our first priority is to rescue Harvey. As long as Harvey is here, our city will be a better place! People like the Joker will have nowhere to stay and will lose the soil for survival."
In the darkness of night, countless people fell asleep, and a black shadow of a bat passed by quietly without any sound.
In the Batcave, the old butler Alfred was already ready. He was wearing traditional butler's clothes, with a white towel hanging on his arm, waiting quietly.
Once Batman returned to the Batcave, he removed his light armor.
"Alfred, how are the preparations going?" Bruce asked.
"Everything is ready, but I still want to remind you, Master," Alfred said, "You are doing something extremely dangerous. It is very likely to destroy everything you have now."
"It's dangerous, so I have to do it. If Batman doesn't do it, who else in Gotham will do it? The whole city will be finished."
Bruce said as he came to a tall upright glass cabinet.
Inside the glass case, a massive, two-meter-tall battle armor, clad in incredibly thick armor, lurked like a silent, lurking monster. Occasionally, light shone upon it, reflecting a terrifying luster that sent shivers down one's spine at the mere sight of it.
This was a terrifying piece of armor. Even someone completely ignorant of it would know at first glance that it was dangerous. Bruce had spent countless fortunes and utilized countless connections to create this high-tech armor, and it had finally taken shape.
To fight Donny and prepare for any possible end to the Mechanic, Bruce has invested nearly $20 billion from his own personal treasury. Bruce has calculated all the possible tactics Donny could use, and this time, there's no escape.
"Master, I haven't had time to install the communicator yet," Alfred reminded.
"There's no need for that kind of thing. None of us knows if Donny has the ability to activate this little communicator. For the sake of caution, don't install it. Trust me, Alfu, I will win. I know everything about Donny, but he knows nothing about me now!"
With a fierce elbow strike, the glass shattered, and the sealed suit of armor was finally revealed to the world, emitting a captivating roar!
