I cannot there is only one way

I feel as if I have been having a very bad dream.

you are the stupidest man I've ever met, and I know some stupid men.

[The explosion that rocks Blackgate prison Monday destroys the structure. Survivors climb out of the rubble, but hundreds are either dead or unaccounted for. As rescue units are sent to deal with the loss in a city already suffering, the governor issues an emergency statement about the prison that will rise from Gotham's slums. Jonathan Crane is named as the future guardian of this new Arkham City.]

[Midday Monday, in the wake of the Blackgate explosion, the Bat emerges from the sewers with Bane and Deadshot in tow. Both men are unconscious, restrained, and very publicly displayed, before being taken into custody by the police. Measures are taken to prevent escape, and soon afterward the remainder of Bane's forces begin to fall. As the day progresses, more and more men are apprehended, and it becomes apparent that Bane's reign of terror has come to an end-- though not without lasting damage. The roundup continues into the evening, spearheaded by Batman and the other masked vigilantes, as rescue units also continue their efforts.]
