Batman: Gotham Knight Page #4

You understand me? I want him dea--

[PANTS]

Who's driving the boat?

[BEEPING]

[MOTOR REVVING]

What the hell are you doing?

Show yourseIf, idiot,|so I can kill you dead.

You destroyed my boat!

The Russian.

Sal Maroni, the vermin.

MARONI:
|Get up. It's The Russian.

It's The Russian. Murder him!

Shoot out their eyes.

[GRUNTING]

[GUN C*CKS]

[YELLS]

[PANTING]

Aah! No!

[PANTS]

BATMAN:
|You get the docks...

...you stay in the slums.

That's the arrangement|until I get something on you.

[THE RUSSIAN CHOKES]

And then you can fight over|who gets the top bunk in Blackgate.

Got it?

The docks are yours.

Aah!

[GRUNTS]

[GRO ANS]

You broke him, you bought him.

You killed me.

[BATMOBILE DOOR OPENS]

I have a gunshot victim. Severe bleeding|in the shoulder. He needs assistance. Now.

[ANTON MO ANS]

Get away.

Put it down. Drop the gun.

No one shoot.

[GRUNTS]

It's over.

Give me the gun.

[ANTON GRUNTS]

[GUN SPLASHES IN WATER]

[CUFFS CLINK]

We've got him, sir.

I caught you on the news|missing that putt on the 12th.

Looked like a 5-footer.

But probably not as embarrassing as having|your club mysteriously launched into a tree.

Wonder how that happened.

What can I say? It was a glitch.

There was another one too.

It works too well.

I'm willing to put my life on the line|to do what I have to.

But it has to be mine.

No one eIse's.

Talk to me.

Reports are contradictory,|but from what we can tell...

...Cardinal O'Fallon was midway through|a sermon when all hell broke loose.

[SCREAMING]

Whole congregation went bug-eyed.

Started hallucinating, becoming violent.

RAMIREZ:
|They said a monster appeared.

A lizard man.|Eight feet tall, covered in scales.

He attacked O'Fallon.|Carried him into the crypts.

Sixth high-profile abduction this week.

Yeah. Got ourselves a real|growth industry here in Gotham.

[RAMIREZ AND ALLEN GRUNT]

You two mind giving me|a moment alone?

Well? You thinking what I'm thinking?

Speak up. I know you're in here.

Jonathan Crane, a.k.a. The Scarecrow.

It has to be. He's been at large|since that night in the Narrows.

CSI team found traces of that|weaponized hallucinogen he was peddling.

I'll follow the trail.

See if I can catch up|with O'Fallon's abductor.

The lizard man? You think he's real?

There's an urban myth circulating.|A cannibal.

Even money says he's real.

Here.

I'll keep in contact with this.|It's a wireless relay system.

Slaved to the communicator in my mask.

In case you're tempted to try|and track me with it, don't bother.

Signals are locked|with quantum cryptology...

...bounced through a dozen different|satellites. You'll never be able to follow it.
