The mayor of Gotham died because broken shrapnel pierced his heart. He died on the way to the hospital for emergency treatment. His death was very painful. but Gordon survived. A large lead bullet of an unknown size penetrated the bulletproof plate on his back but failed to kill him. He is now in a coma and lying in the hospital.
But what the Gotham government claims to the outside world is that the mayor is still alive and Gordon is dead on the way to rescue the mayor.
This plan, which Harvey Dent and Batman came up with together, is mainly aimed at the Joker.
The planning steps are a bit cumbersome, but the only way to ensure that the suspicious Joker can be drawn out.
Gordon has a lot of prestige among the Gotham police, and his death will directly arouse anger in the hearts of the police. and Harvey, the sin nemesis, will open the press conference, direct their anger to Batman and Arrest him.
Because everyone knows that the Joker's goal is Batman, and everyone else is just a pond fish that has been affected, this step is very simple.
Next, they will send Batman to the Prison, the furthest away from the press conference venue.
During the process, whether Joker believes it or not, with his character, he will come to hijack the prison van. When the time comes, Batman will catch him.
Harvey came up with the overall plan, and Bruce agreed. He agreed to turn himself in and admit that he was Batman.
Gotham can't only have a dark knight, or it doesn't need it. It only needs a light knight like Harvey. Only in this way, it will become better.
As for Graves, these two deliberately didn't mention it, wanting to catch the Joker first.
Bruce had already informed Harvey about the reactor and Rachel. The two tacitly agreed, neither refused nor agreed to the condition of exchanging the password for her.
They know that no matter which one they choose, they will cause indelible damage to themselves. Since they can't choose, for the time being, it's better to skip it.
So a robust plan for the Joker began.
the press conference was held as scheduled. Harvey Dent stood in front of countless cameras with impassioned enthusiasm, like the new leader of Gotham.
Maybe it won't be long before this young prosecutor, with the support of the people, will become a city councilor and then the mayor.
"Girls and gentlemen, there are two reasons for this press conference."
"First, assure the citizens of Gotham that we have done our best to deal with the Joker."
The media and police representatives in the audience instantly exploded with a buzzing sound, and they all scolded the Gotham government for its incompetence and inaction.
Harvey is already a mature politician, naturally, he will not be frightened by this scene, he quickly skips this topic, and then drops a blockbuster: "Second, we will capture Batman!"
The audience immediately fell silent again, and the media were stunned. Although some of them were indeed unhappy with Batman's behavior, they never thought of arresting him.
After all, that's a superhero, just like Superman in Metropolis, the Flash in Central City, he is also a symbol of Gotham city.
Just when everyone was puzzled, the caregivers who sneaked into the crowd in advance played a role.
"He does illegal things"
"he is worse than anyone!"
They loudly expressed their dissatisfaction with Batman and aroused the public's emotions.
Finally, the final decision was made by one of Gordon's loyal men, who shouted emotionally, "because of him commissioner Gordon died!"
The anger of everyone present was drawn out, and they all agreed, and instantly found a reason to arrest Batman in their hearts.
"Yes, that's right!" Harvey continued to use his inflammatory language to incite everyone.
"Batman, an illegal knight who ignores the lives of the people in the city."
"It was because of him that the Joker appeared."
"If he is not brought to justice, there will soon be a second or even a third Joker."
People's minds are engulfed by emotions, and they express their dissatisfaction, they quickly converge into one voice.
"Arrest him!!"
They waved their fists and shouted in unison, like a group of righteous judges.
Standing under the stage, Bruce watched all this silently, feeling a sudden sadness for some reason.
Is this the Gotham he protects?
Unexpectedly, Harvey on the stage changed his words: "Should we bow our heads to people like the Joker?"
"Everyone, please remember that before dawn, it is always the darkest."
"But I assure you, dawn is coming soon."
Bruce, who was going to walk out of his way to surrender, suddenly stopped. It seemed that there was no such link in the two's plan.
he saw Harvey give him a reassuring look, and then said to everyone, "I'm Batman, take me away!"
There was an uproar under the stage, and the angry emotions just now were extinguished by a basin of cold water, and they all questioned: "How come, this is impossible?"
"Yeah, how could he be Batman?"
The police officer who knew the inside story was already ready. he didn't care how noisy the audience was, he put handcuffs on Harvey with an indifferent face, and then took him away.
At this point, the press conference was over, and everyone was kicked out of the venue.
This shocking news quickly passed through the hands of the media and spread throughout Gotham City, as well as the Joker's ears.
Harvey was taken to the detention center, and Bruce followed along with him. He didn't want to complain about why Harvey changed his plan halfway through, he just wanted to know the reason.
In the end, the bright knight of Gotham replied with a smile: "Someone has to sacrifice, why can't it be me?"
"Besides, this way you can free up your hands to deal with the Joker well."
"Batman is far more important than me as a prosecutor."
Bruce Wayne, who didn't speak much, was silent for a long time, and then said, "Be careful."
At this moment, the two men truly became friends. Bruce put Harvey in the prison van and rushed back to the Batcave to make sure everything was ready.
And in a residence in Gotham City, Roman stared at the TV and shouted to graves on the sofa behind him without looking back, "Boss, look!"
"It turns out that Harvey Dent is Batman, not Bruce Wayne!"
graves, who was stuffing lead bullets into the drum, raised his head and glanced at the news conference on TV, then got up and walked behind roman, patting the back of his head.
"let's go."
Roman asked suspiciously, "Where are we going?"
graves said lightly, "I'll take you to prison today."
"???" Roman jumped up excitedly: "Boss, are we going to kill Batman?"
"No." graves lit a cigar and said slowly, "We're going to save Andy."
