On the outskirts of Gotham, near Blackgate Prison.
Bang! Bang! Boom!
With the continuous sound of heavy blows, the battle between Batman and Bane entered a fierce stage. The sonic booms that sounded from time to time and the traces of footsteps on the ground proved the intensity of the battle.
If an outsider who didn't know what was going on looked at it, he would definitely think that Batman had the absolute upper hand. Often, after his attacks hit Bane three or four times, Bane would slowly counterattack once, but he might not be able to hit.
But in Anderson's perception, he seemed to be attacking an extremely strong and heavy sandbag. No matter what kind of attack, the "sandbag" could only shake slightly, without any unnecessary reaction.
It would be fine if it was just a matter of resistance, but what is really dangerous is the counterattack of this "sandbag".
Bain seems to have relied on his physical strength and endurance to create a "return technique that can cause injuries". It is different from the return technique in Anderson's impression of "seeing through the opponent's attack trajectory and then counterattacking without injury". This move is "after being beaten."
Counterattack while the opponent is unable to recover."
If Mrs. Harrison had not warned him in advance that he would not get "hard" after being beaten like ordinary people, Anderson might have been fooled from the beginning.
Judging from the movements of this guy when he counterattacked, it was clear that he was planning to use a wrestling-fighting joint technique. Since there is no referee here to determine the effective score of the joint technique, the purpose of this move must be to break the enemy's bones.
Therefore, after he was almost hit by accident, Anderson changed his style of play, focusing on medium and long-range attacks. He would retreat as soon as he hit, never giving the big guy a chance to capture him.
"[Whew - knock out all my physical strength with a quick tap - hiss - that's a good idea, Batman,]" after Bane failed to "take on the role" again, he looked at Anderson who was far away and said:
"[But - phew - do you have time to stay here and entangle with me - hiss -?]"
"[Time?]" Anderson looked in the direction of Blackgate Prison.
According to Gordon, this Bane led five of his men to capture Blackgate Prison, but so far they have only seen one alien Killer Croc. What are the other three doing?
Boom boom boom!
As if in response to Bane's words, several successive explosions came from the direction of Blackgate Prison. Then, a group of guys who didn't look like normal people swarmed out in prison vehicles, bypassing Bane and Batman.
The battlefield flew towards Gotham City.
"[Phew—choose,]" Bain said: "[Whether to hunt down those scum who escaped, or—hiss—capture me, the main criminal.]"
This guy……
Although this statement is obviously asking "who to catch", it is actually asking "who to let go", whether it is the large number of ordinary prisoners who may cause a lot of damage to Gotham, or this "super villain".
Choosing to capture the criminal means that Batman can temporarily give up arresting the culprit for the sake of public safety. Choosing to continue to capture Bane means that Batman would rather cause a large number of casualties to carry out his own justice.
If you choose the former, Batman will have obvious weaknesses; if you choose the latter, Batman will no longer be trusted by the police and citizens.
Although this is a suburb, Bain must have a hundred ways to spread his choice.
Unfortunately, no matter how many times I make myself make similar choices, the answer will always be the same: I want them all.
"[Mrs. Harrison,]" Anderson pressed his ear, "[Contact Director Gordon and ask him to lead people to blockade Gotham South and conduct a strict search for fugitives. I will send him his 'comrade' after I capture him."
"

"[Huh-hiss--]" "[Wow--da!]"
Click, click.
After a brief truce when the prisoner escaped, Bane and Batman resumed the fight. It was still a boring battle with fists to the flesh but basically no effect. Martha, who had been hiding far away, began to frantically take photos of the scene.
In the six months since Batman's "debut", it's not that she has never ridden in the Batmobile, but "taking a temporary ride in the Batmobile because she was involved in an incident" and "taking a Batmobile to shoot and report on Batman" are two different things. The latter is standard
self-disclosure behavior.
Therefore, this time after Commissioner Gordon called out Batman in a high-profile manner and attracted the attention of almost everyone in Gotham, she had no choice but to drive and follow him.
Although it seemed that the first half was missed, it was zero to zero after all, so rounding off meant that it was not missed.
But seriously, isn’t this fight taking a little long? Usually, the fight is basically solved with one punch, and at most one kick is added.
"Batman vs. Wrestler, there doesn't seem to be much to watch..." Martha muttered while filming.
According to a reader survey of "Gotham Daily", 78% of people most want to see Batman fight with more than 20 gunmen.
Are these guys filling out the questionnaire seriously or do they just want Batman dead?
Dodging bullets can be successful countless times, but it can only fail once. Do they understand this?
Of course, similar scenes have not never happened, but it was indoors, with many shelters, and cold weapons readily available. If you really faced dozens of guns without shelter...
Swish——
Martha was distracted when there was a sudden light on her hand and the camera was taken away, followed by a snapping sound:
"Oh~ Isn't this the female reporter who has been reporting on Batman?"
"Give it back to me! You ugly lizard!" Martha took the camera back and realized what she had said.
She looked towards the direction of the sound with a bit of luck, but unfortunately, it was the "Lizard Man" who had been defeated by Batman before.
After he was thrown away by the "wrestler", he touched Martha's side at some point.
When Martha grabbed the camera, she caught sight of his face, and then she spoke her first thoughts smoothly.
Although he must have had bad intentions when he sneaked over, intending to threaten Batman with himself, he was probably going to suffer for his quick words at this moment.
"You guy!" The lizard man was indeed furious, swung his green fist and hit Martha on the head.
"——!"
Martha subconsciously tilted her head and closed her eyes, but after waiting for more than ten seconds, she found that there was no pain as expected, so she quietly opened one eye.
"This is not okay, Miss Kane~"
She first heard the voice of a young woman who was slightly cold, but not repulsive to others, and then saw the lizard man who was still pumping his fists, but his fists could not be suppressed at all.
Martha looked along his fist, and then she saw that the fist, which was as big as her head, was being held by a palm with a black leather glove.
As for the owner of this hand... Martha continued to turn her head, and then she saw a black cat.
No, it's a black cat, but just like the "lizard man", it's just Martha's first impression of her.
To be precise, it was a young woman wearing a tight black leather jacket and a cat hood on her face.
However, judging from her ability to catch the lizard man's fist with one hand and still have time to talk to herself, she must be quite powerful.
"If someone hits you, you have to fight back without hesitation, just like you did when your column was questioned by public opinion~" the woman in black leather finished the second half of the sentence.
She seems to know me very well? Could it be another "superhero" trained by Sister Cathy?
"you……"
"Drink!"
Martha was about to ask, but the lizard man over there who had been blocked from attacking had just reacted, roared, retracted his hand, and attacked the newly appeared woman in black.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
The lizard man's attack was so powerful that Martha doubted that an ordinary person would be seriously injured even if he didn't die on the spot. However, the cat-like woman just made a few moves to attack him.
They all dodged past - the movements were quite graceful and seemed to be done with ease.
"Damn it! Damn it! You all deserve to die!" The lizard man raged impotently while carrying out ineffective attacks.
Because there was so much movement here, it even attracted the "wrestler" and Batman who were fighting fiercely in the distance. The "wrestler" seemed a little dissatisfied, but Batman just looked at the woman in black twice and did not come to help at all.
plan.
They really know each other, right? So they know that she is strong enough to deal with this...lizard man.
"Guys who can't keep up with the times are indeed pitiful, but now there is no stage for you."
After noticing Batman looking over, the woman in black suddenly said this, and then changed her previous tactic of dodging and moving in front of the lizard man.
The lizard man was stunned for half a second, then he stretched out his arms overjoyed and was about to grab him. Then he was kicked in the chin by the woman and flew half a meter into the air.
Martha could see it clearly. When she flashed in front of the lizard man, she used the blind spot of his sight to prepare for a flip. When the lizard man raised his hand to grab it, his chin happened to be on the tip of her toes thrown out by the somersault.
But...why does this trick look familiar? Isn't she going to knock the person out next?
At this time, the woman in black completed her somersault, but did not land again. Instead, she kept her head down, supported the ground with one hand, put her legs together and spun in the air, and then moved like a cannonball.
With such speed, he kicked the lizard man hard on the waist who had just started to fall.
Bang!
In Martha's shocked eyes, the huge lizard man was kicked out and hit the "wrestler" straight away.
"The Wrestler" grabbed the lizard man with ease, but this time it was the tail: "[Huh-hiss-trash.]"

Taking advantage of this episode, Anderson retreated to distance himself from Bain, and then looked back.
It's not surprising that Martha would appear here. He also saw Killer Crocodile sneaking past. If Trinity hadn't appeared, he would have been able to save Martha.
Of course, that was Trinity. Anderson would never mistake her figure and fighting skills. The question now is why she came to Zion and put on a mask. Could it be that the Normandy is more leisurely now?
"Hi~Batman," Trinity kicked Killer Croc over, followed by Martha, and raised her hand generously to say hello, "It seems you need help?"
"[...Who are you?]" Seeing that Trinity didn't seem to want to disclose her identity, Anderson naturally had the sense not to expose her and kept her Batman persona.
"You can call me...Catwoman(an)," Trinity said, "Just a superhero for fun."
Pay attention to your words. If you don't look at Martha next to you, it's almost unrecognizable. Did you take out the camera and take a picture of you?
"[I don't need help, and you can't become a 'hero' on a whim.]" Anderson turned back and stared at Bane, who threw Killer Croc away again: "[You'd better go home, little girl.]"
"Whether you need help or not is your business, and whether I can help you or not is my business," Trinity also looked at Bain: "Just knock down the big guy over there, right?"
"[...]" Anderson said nothing with a sullen face, but he felt extremely embarrassed in his heart. Fortunately, no one who knew their identity and relationship was present. To those who didn't know what was going on, it seemed like this was just a warning from an established superhero to a newcomer.
That's all.
“[Huh—Is the play over yet—hiss—]” Bain looked dissatisfied: “[You—huh—come on together—hiss—]”
Anderson and Trinity looked at each other and saw the same thing through each other's masks: they had never heard of such a request.
The next moment, the two of them rushed towards Bain's huge figure at the same time.
The fighting skills instilled through the "Connection Program" include combined attack skills. Although I don't know why, since Trinity can also use the martial arts in the matrix in reality, it is natural that combined attacks can also be used.
"[Huh-hiss-]" Apparently Bain also saw something, and stood firm, getting ready for a one-on-one fight.
Ta-ta-ta-hoo!
Three steps ago, Anderson was walking side by side with Trinity, but three steps later, Trinity stepped forward with a cushion under her feet. At the same moment, Anderson bowed directly and made a "cushion" with his hands.
", letting Trinity step on it in the next step, and then with a sudden lift, she jumped high into the air.
Bain also followed Trinity's movements and changed his stance from defending against mid-section attacks on the chest and abdomen to defending against upper-section attacks on the head.
The next moment, Trinity, who had jumped up high, twisted her body before reaching the highest point, spinning her whole body and kicked Bain in the back of the head with her legs, while Anderson continued to lower his center of gravity.
, turning the charge into a downward sliding tackle, targeting Bain's ankle.
Boom! Boom!
Bain was hit on the back of the head and legs at the same time. Although due to his strong physique, these two attacks did not damage his muscles and bones too much, but the two attacks with opposite force succeeded in making him unstable. He tried
After struggling to hold on to no avail, the huge body collapsed to the ground.
Trinity had already landed on the ground at this time, and Anderson jumped high after knocking down Bane.
Just when Martha thought Anderson was about to give Bain a blow on the back of his head to knock him out completely, she saw Trinity put her hands on the ground and her toes in the air, giving Anderson who had jumped to the highest point a boost, causing him to fly again.
More than twice as high.
In the end, Anderson fell from the sky like a real giant bat and hit Bane hard on the vest.
Click.
The dull sound of cracking bones made Martha's teeth sore.
"Uh...he's dead?" After taking several photos in a row, she asked weakly.
