Per

‘faction indeed, he thought.

Down below, the cops appeared to have recovered. They drew their guns

and fired at him. But their bullets bounced off his icy armor,

ricocheting into the walls.

He grinned savagely. “Superman, eat your heart out.”

Then he headed for his weapons locker.

Dazed by his sudden introduction to the wall, Batman got his feet under

him and tried to shake off the effects of Bane’s attack. But the giant

was on him again before he knew it.

A second time, he smashed Batman into the wall. As the Dark Knight

slumped to the floor, Bane advanced on him for the coup de grace. But

Batman wasn’t about to call it quits.

Reaching into his Utility Belt, he whipped out a Batclub and sent it

whirling in Bane’s direction. The club hit the giant in the head,

stunning him, forcing him to take a couple of steps back into a rail.

Batman had earned himself a respite, though he had a feeling it would be

all too brief. And out of the corner of his eye, tie saw Ivy closing in

on his protdgd.

Rs the police rushed him, Freeze opened his locker and took out a small

icing jewel. Using it on the floor, he watched the surface glow a

brilliant blue and then cover over with ice.

The cops couldn’t control their headlong progress over that kind of

surface. Slipping on the icy floor in classic Keystone style, arms

pinwheeling, they ended up sprawled on their backs.

Freeze stood, pulsing with power again. Removing a spare cryo-rifle

from a pedestal nearby, he tucked it into the crook of his shoulder and

pointed it at the helpless police.

“All right, coppers.” He smiled humorlessly. “Freeze.”

Then lie fired, just in case.

Rising to his feet and keeping one eye on Bane, Batman watched Ivy back

Robin up against a giant vat.

“Stop living in the shadow of the big, bad Bat,” she told him. “You

don’t need him.” She blew more of her dust in his face. “You deserve

your own legend, don’t you?”

“My own … ?” he muttered.

“Your own bright, shining signal in the cloud-streaked sky. Let me

guide you, brave heart. Let me . . .” She touched his face with her

fingertips. touch you. Kiss you …

It didn’t seem Robin could resist her anymore. He was at her

mercy—until Batman hurled a tiny Batarang with pinpoint accuracy,

hitting his protdgd in the cheek.

Fortunately, Bane was still woozy. He was hanging back, gathering his

prodigious strength.

“Remember the victim at the airport,” the Dark Knight shouted, his voice

echoing in the confines of the factory’s basement. “Toxins introduced

through the mouth.”

Robin looked up at him. “What are you talking about?”

As Bane lunged at him, Batman ducked and swung down to Robin’s level.

“Why is she so desperate to kiss us?” he wondered out loud. “I’m

betting her lips carry some kind of poison.”

The boy’s eyes narrowed with skepticism. “A poison kiss? You have some

real issues with women, you know that?”

Robin advanced on his mentor, clearly still under Ivy’s influence. “You

just couldn’t stand that she was about to kiss me.”

He shoved Batman.

“Couldn’t stand that something might be mine and not yours. Could you?”

Robin shoved him harder still.

Suddenly, Batman was overcome with fury.
