Chapter 144 Bane Tries to Break Superman's Back

Bane hung up the phone.

Based on the information from Red Hood, the Superman in front of him should be completely Batman in disguise.

Batman's hat trick was very good and successfully confused him, but this time, he was the one who was waiting for the opportunity.

He repeatedly reviewed the situation in his mind. During these days, he had tested his men many times.

Needless to say, Red Hood, as a person entrusted with many things by him, could not and would never be Clayface.

He tried several times, pretending to accidentally splash water on the other party's face, and finally got satisfactory results.

In the end, he even stopped pretending and directly asked the other party to draw blood for testing, which also confirmed the other party's identity as a living person.

Atomic Skull, a villain who emits radioactive nuclear energy at any time, is even more impossible to disguise. As for the live wire, it is a bit troublesome. The other party naturally hates liquids, and it is not easy to convince her to agree to contact water or have blood drawn.

But fortunately, his general Jason Red Hood persuaded the other party to use some shady means. Well... although Red Hood's means were not very fair.

What, you asked how he knew?

When Red Hood patted his chest and said something like "Leave it all to me", in order to prevent the two villains from joining forces to fool him, Bane also followed quietly, and found that Red Hood's method was to sleep with live wires, well, this is very simple and crude.

In short, during this period of time, he eliminated the suspicion of his subordinates one by one, and for the remaining characters like toy people, he repeatedly confirmed that each one was alive and there would be absolutely no problem!

At the same time, he put them all under 24-hour surveillance to ensure that there was no possibility of substitution.

Under such circumstances, he really found Mudface who tried to sneak in several times, and many of them were discovered by Red Hood first-although he also knew that killing Mudface's clone would have no effect on the opponent's body, but this was not enough to make people ignore Red Hood's achievements.

He liked this good guy more and more. He was sharp, evil, and was born to be a villain.

Moreover, he and Jason had talked many times. When talking about Batman, the resentment in his sentences was real and passionate. His criticism of Batman was profound and philosophical, full of all the extreme ideas you can find in utilitarianism and virtue theory.

Sometimes, Bane couldn't stand some of Batman's behaviors, and could only say a few hypocritical words, but Red Hood could quote a lot of arguments, from Hegel to Kant, attacking Batman's morality in all directions, which amazed Bane.

Bane understood philosophy. In prison, he taught himself many subjects including but not limited to natural sciences and geography, and of course philosophy. It was precisely because he understood that he could understand how wise and difficult these sentences of Red Hood were.

Sometimes Bane even had some illusions that the other party's criticism of Batman's behavior pattern was so meticulous and the language organization was so philosophical, as if the other party had prepared for many years to debate with Batman.

Such a thoughtful and capable young man is a good helper for him to deal with Batman!

Bane has absolute confidence in his judgment ability - he is not a fool, and trust in a person cannot come out of thin air.

It is because the other party's emotions and criticisms of Batman are so real, and his trust is also based on these facts.

To be honest, the failure of the Red Hood surprised him a little. He thought they would be finished, but he didn't think it would be so fast, as fast as if there was a traitor who blew them up.

But the traitors have been cleared out by him, there won't be any, which means... hehe.

Bane cut off his arrogant emotions in an instant. He is a person who is capable of self-control, and often warns himself not to weaken his judgment because of arrogance.

But as for the current situation... I can only say that it is also expected.

After all, if the so-called "Superman" in front of him is Batman in disguise, then the Batman on the Red Hood's side is Superman in disguise.

As for those Superman villains, they were all defeated by Superman. Even if the mob gathered together, they would still be a mob. Ms. Shiva did not have the prestige to lead them, and Bane did not need it.

In such a scattered battle mode, a complete defeat was foreseeable.

But to be honest, why didn't Blake come as he expected? Bane looked at the battlefield below.

Blockbuster, Eggman Brothers, Reaper, Big Tent, and other second- and third-tier villains in Gotham were no match for Batman pretending to be Superman on the field.

They were about to fail now, why didn't Blake show up? Logically speaking, he would never let go of this bet.

Bane suddenly felt a headache, and he quickly pressed the button on the back of his hand. More venom gurgled from the canister behind him and injected into his body, greatly alleviating his withdrawal reaction.

Bane's eyes were gloomy.

In prison, he fell into a long period of depression because he could not touch the venom, which led to a comprehensive decline in his physical fitness and brain. However, it was during this period that he actually quit venom through his own training.

But he recovered quickly after he came out. He needed the power of venom, and with venom, of course, there was also the withdrawal reaction after using it.

This is another hidden reason why he wants to control Blake. He needs a telepath to help him eliminate the negative effects of Titan venom, so that he can continue to abuse venom without scruples to suppress the balance of the three elements of amber gold, green of all things and black of decay in his body, so that his strength can be further improved.

He vaguely felt that as long as he could eliminate the side effect of lowering IQ after the withdrawal reaction of Titan venom, he might be able to further master the three forces in his body and achieve the point of being able to use them as easily as his own hands, forming unexpected changes.

(Note: In the original story of Batman V3, the telepath who helped Bane suppress the side effects of Titan Venom was another super villain [Psychic Pirate]. Here it was Blake, and the result was the same.)

The venom was injected gurglingly. Under the effect of the super steroid, Bane suddenly had an inexplicable idea in his mind:

Luthor betrayed Blake to himself, so easily? So is there a possibility...

Luthor also betrayed him to Blake?

If he did that, then...

A branch suddenly emerged from half of Bane's body, and then began to grow lushly and uncontrollably. That was the green of all things in agitation, in a spontaneous resistance to Titan Venom.

Bane broke off the half branch expressionlessly and threw it on the ground, and then stopped the excessive injection of venom.

He still had a tough battle to fight next, and now was not a good time to fight internally.

As for Luthor's conspiracy...

Let's take it one step at a time.

Anyway, he has gathered a considerable force now, and there is no Clayface among them.

No one can ignore their power. At that time, it is nothing more than a matter of responding to each move and acting according to circumstances.

"Dr. Klein, it's time to act."

He turned his head and said to the scarecrow standing in the shadow.

"Remember your promise, Bane. Unlike Superman's idiotic villains and those simple-minded minions who are brainwashed by honor, it is not something that can be solved by just asking us to take action."

"Hurry up, Klein, I thought we had talked it through clearly. Don't be obsessed with getting more territory. You are like a cat that discusses the division of the spoils before even catching the fish."

Bane didn't even look at him. The big guy sat on the edge of the roof and squinted his eyes.

"If we can't deal with Batman, all our grand plans for Gotham's future will be in vain. Why do you think I lowered myself to cooperate with you?

In terms of dealing with Batman, our goals are exactly the same. Prepare your fear gas trap and trigger it at the right time. We need that."

The Scarecrow snorted: "We have never been friends who get along well. I haven't forgotten the time of the Court of Owls."

He paused:

"But at least we can still cooperate this time. Your plan better succeed, Bane."

Not far away, the woman bat flapped her wings and landed on the ground of the rooftop: "The electro-sensing effect in the air is ready."

She is the wife of the super villain human-faced bat. Like her husband, she used the human-bat potion, so like her husband, this potion created an evil beast personality in her body.

And unlike her husband who gradually defeated the human-bat personality, she is now in a stage of being fully controlled by the beast personality.

She lay on the rooftop and told Bane: "Your creations of the black of decay made the red of all living things in my body scream."

"But it can also suppress Batman's dinosaur transformation. Targeted attack."

"But we are obviously facing Superman."

"No, we are facing Batman." Bane said firmly:

"My judgment will not be wrong."

"And Batwoman, I believe that you, who have permanently turned into a bat, will not be greatly affected by this level of suppression."

"Okay." Batwoman was a little silent, but still accepted it. She hung herself upside down on the edge of the rooftop a little unhappy:

"Let me hang myself like this for a while, and call me when the fight starts."

Killer Moth followed Batwoman and landed on the edge of the rooftop. He is a villain with technological equipment: "The electric-sensing device created by Red Hood and Live Wire is actually quite technical."

He said: "The effect is far beyond my expectations. Now there are countless electric charges in the air. Any nanorobot encountering such charges will only be destroyed like a mosquito hitting an electric mosquito swatter."

He said, "But to be honest, this kind of thing is a special effect method for Batman. It is useless against Superman. Bane, are you sure..."

"I'm sure."

"Okay, you have the final say, boss." Killer Moth shrugged.

After a while, the last villain, Dr. Phosphorus, climbed onto the roof from the back.

"The roadblocks blocking the Batmobile at the intersection have been completed. If the Batmobile dares to hit it, it will cause a violent explosion." Mr. Skeleton said while complaining:

"But to be honest, I think it's obvious that we are dealing with Superman. Bane, has the venom filled your brain?"

Bane was disdainful to argue with him.

He raised his wrist to check the time, and then looked at the many powerful second- and third-tier villains who were all kneeled down by Superman with his bare hands.

"Black will not appear." He said gloomily: "So we have to rely on ourselves to defeat Batman."

"It's Superman." Mr. Skeleton corrected him with a faint green flame.

Bane didn't listen to the persuasion.

"Start!"

Killer Moth took out a remote control and pressed it.

In an instant, everyone felt a sense of electricity all over their bodies.

Then each of them took out a gas mask and put it on their faces. Yellow smoke came out from several blocks around, covering the entire battlefield and soon spread over. Heavy bombs. They took a breath and immediately let out a wolf howl in fear.

The power of the black of decay...

Bombs and roadblocks blocking cars...

One after another, the back-up plans for Batman were all arranged in just a few minutes. Bane jumped and jumped directly from the rooftop. A green vine stretched out from his back, carrying him to the ground like Spider-Man.

Several other villains also showed their magical powers and fell on the battlefield one after another.

"You... Bane!"

He saw half of Superman's body disintegrate into black mud and sand. Bane guessed that the reason why it was not black mist must be because of the current in the air.

His face under the mask showed an excited smile.

"You actually targeted me..."

He saw a look of pain on Superman's face, then it blurred into a ball, and then, as expected, it turned into Batman's head.

"Holy shit, Bane, your guess is right!"

He heard Dr. Phosphorus's surprised voice: "He is not Superman, but Batman!"

Bane put his hands behind his back, nodded his chin, and then his villains rushed up.

This is how it should be. He stood behind and watched the villains who obeyed his command besieged Batman, and then he would make the final end.

This is how it should be.

The sound of violent hammering continued.

He saw Batman trying to turn into a big green dinosaur like he had done before, but the dinosaur head only appeared on his head for half a second before disappearing immediately;

He saw Batman trying to turn into that muscular man with venom stuck in his back, but only half of the venom tank appeared on the other side of his face, and fear immediately emerged on his face. Before he could complete the transformation, he was immediately interrupted by the fear toxin in the air;

He saw the other side being punched in the face by Dr. Phosphorus, and the flames ignited the other side's mask, making him fight desperately...

This made Bane's face darken, and he remembered that his mask was burned off by a skeleton in Arkham Asylum before...

But now Dr. Phosphorus is his subordinate, and it is Batman who is besieged, and the offensive and defensive situation has been reversed.

The attack of the woman bat... the energy gun beam of the killer moth...

Finally, Batman fell to the ground.

Bane walked in front of the other side, looking down at the seriously injured Batman. He felt the blood rushing from the soles of his feet to his heart, and then rushing to the top of his head.

He tried his best to keep his voice from trembling and his hands behind his back from shaking.

Excited heart, shaking hands, steady voice, the villain's lines:

"It's too easy, so easy that I'm a little bored."

Bane paused, then took a deep breath, his voice seemed a little dull under the breathing mask, like a devil in hell, or a child who grabbed a lollipop.

He lifted Batman high.

Finally.

Finally this moment.

"I could have killed you."

"I could have killed you, but death will only silence your sorrow and end your pain, so I just want to simply, break, your damn back!"

Then, he knocked Batman heavily on his knee.

Crack!

There was only a crisp bone cracking sound. It was like the sound of rice cakes being fried on an iron plate, and it was like every young kneecap flying and bravely traveling the world.

The next second, Bane felt that he had hit a piece of steel plate.
