Imagine peering into the depths
of the criminal mind
4
00:00:14,011 --> 00:00:18,011
unlocking
its terrible secrets.
5
00:00:18,016 --> 00:00:21,016
I, Professor Hugo Strange
6
00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:24,020
bring you the next generation

00:00:24,018 --> 00:00:27,998

'even anticipate their crimes
before they're committed.'
18
00:01:05,022 --> 00:01:10,012
D.A.V.E.'s artificial
intelligence is so advanced
19
00:01:10,012 --> 00:01:14,022
he doesn't even realize
he's a computer program.
20
00:01:14,020 --> 00:01:17,010
Professor,
can we trust AI technology
21
00:01:17,009 --> 00:01:18,999
that thinks it's a criminal?
22
00:01:19,003 --> 00:01:20,023
Perhaps a demonstration
23
00:01:20,017 --> 00:01:24,017
will allay your concerns,
commissioner.
24
00:01:24,021 --> 00:01:26,021
(D.A.V.E.)
Good evening, Gotham P.D.
25
00:01:26,018 --> 00:01:28,008
How might I assist you?
26
00:01:29,016 --> 00:01:32,006
Now, D.A.V.E.,
what would you make
27
00:01:32,007 --> 00:01:35,007
of the theft of 20 tons
of ostrich feathers
28
00:01:35,016 --> 00:01:40,996
and a break-in at Neugog
Chemical both in the same night?
29
00:01:41,005 --> 00:01:41,995
(D.A.V.E.)
A Joker scheme.
30
00:01:42,006 --> 00:01:43,006
The crime clown will threaten
31
00:01:43,013 --> 00:01:44,023
to have the city
tickled to death
32
00:01:44,021 --> 00:01:47,001
by feathers treated
with a Joker toxin
33
00:01:47,004 --> 00:01:50,014
unless, that is,
his ransom demands are met.
34
00:01:50,014 --> 00:01:52,024
'A respectable crime,
to be sure'
35
00:01:52,022 --> 00:01:56,022
though I personally would
commit something more elaborate.
36
00:01:58,003 --> 00:02:01,023
If your mind didn't happen
to be sentenced to life
37
00:02:01,021 --> 00:02:04,021
in this electronic prison,
D.A.V.E.

'Gotham City
shall never be safe.'

00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:15,020
Oh.

D.A.V.E., are you there?
D.A.V.E.?
44
00:02:29,008 --> 00:02:30,018
What just happened?
45
00:02:30,018 --> 00:02:34,008
D.A.V.E. has uploaded
himself off the server.
46
00:02:34,014 --> 00:02:38,014
Gotham's ultimate
criminal mastermind
47
00:02:38,011 --> 00:02:40,021
has just escaped.

Hmm. I've no idea what could've
caused this glitch.
52
00:03:57,006 --> 00:03:59,016
Better call one of
the techies down here.
53
00:03:59,022 --> 00:04:04,022
Perhaps we should call
the Batman instead.

The Dark Knight

55
00:04:07,006 --> 00:04:08,016

56
00:04:08,023 --> 00:04:10,023
A real criminal is exactly
57
00:04:11,001 --> 00:04:15,021
what the Digitally Advanced
Villain Emulator thinks it is.
58
00:04:15,022 --> 00:04:18,012
How can D.A.V.E. not realize
it's a computer program
59
00:04:18,010 --> 00:04:20,010
if it just uploaded itself?
60
00:04:20,013 --> 00:04:26,003
The criminally insane create
their own reality, Mr. Wayne.
61
00:04:26,004 --> 00:04:29,024
And now I fear D.A.V.E.
will attempt to carry out
62
00:04:29,018 --> 00:04:34,018
his preprogrammed
super-villain impulses.
63
00:04:34,021 --> 00:04:38,011
And how exactly is it supposed
to do that without a body?

Not what.

'Who.'

00:05:48,015 --> 00:05:50,015

Now let's turn to
Dan Robbins with the wea..
78
00:05:58,007 --> 00:06:01,007
Hello, Gotham, I am D.A.V.E.
79
00:06:01,007 --> 00:06:03,017
For years you have listened
to the idle threats
80
00:06:03,023 --> 00:06:06,023
of criminals who
have vowed and failed
81
00:06:06,023 --> 00:06:09,013
to bring the city to its knees.
82
00:06:09,009 --> 00:06:11,019
'Well, I am no
ordinary criminal.'
83
00:06:11,020 --> 00:06:15,010
I am Gotham's ultimate
criminal mastermind.
84
00:06:15,016 --> 00:06:18,016
And I'm about to prove
that even the most heavily
85
00:06:18,018 --> 00:06:21,998
'secured institutions can't
prevent me from committing'
86
00:06:22,006 --> 00:06:26,996
'the ultimate crime a crime
of such scope and genius'
87
00:06:27,006 --> 00:06:31,016
that soon all
of Gotham will be mine.
88
00:06:31,018 --> 00:06:33,998
A tad cliche, isn't he?

00:06:34,005 --> 00:06:37,005
Pure textbook announcing
his crime over the airwaves

of the villain profiles
91
00:06:40,004 --> 00:06:41,024
that make up
D.A.V.E.'s brain.
92
00:06:41,021 --> 00:06:43,021
So where will D.A.V.E. strike?
93
00:06:44,001 --> 00:06:45,011
Nothing is more heavily secured
94
00:06:45,016 --> 00:06:49,006
than Gotham's most
powerful supercomputer.
95
00:06:49,009 --> 00:06:52,009
That contains the city's
most sensitive data
96
00:06:52,009 --> 00:06:53,999
financial and otherwise.
97
00:06:54,005 --> 00:06:55,005
And in the wrong hands
98
00:06:55,016 --> 00:06:58,996
that data could bring
the city to its knees.

Let's try them all.
112
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Timing is everything.
113
00:08:28,002 --> 00:08:31,012
Ah. The central data server.

00:08:33,003 --> 00:08:37,023
Gotham City,
in the palm of my hand.

00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,010
The Batman. You're late.
116
00:08:46,012 --> 00:08:47,022
Didn't know I was expected.

00:08:51,006 --> 00:08:54,016

predictable ones.

Don't let my appearance
fool you, Batman.
123
00:09:14,002 --> 00:09:15,022
My mind is most human.
124
00:09:15,019 --> 00:09:18,019
Or should I say, superhuman?
125
00:09:25,018 --> 00:09:28,018
D.A.V.E.,
why are you doing this?
126
00:09:28,018 --> 00:09:31,008
Did you say why?
127
00:09:31,008 --> 00:09:33,008
Why do you dress like a bat?
128
00:09:33,016 --> 00:09:35,016
Why do you fight crime?
129
00:09:35,018 --> 00:09:38,008
Why do we do anything, Batman?
130
00:09:38,013 --> 00:09:41,023
I do what I do because
I have made it my purpose
131
00:09:41,023 --> 00:09:45,013
like you have made
it yours to stop me.
132
00:09:45,012 --> 00:09:48,002
But shall fail trying.
133
00:09:53,010 --> 00:09:57,010
Go ahead, Batman, save yourself.

Hello again, Gotham.
137
00:10:15,014 --> 00:10:18,004
Now that
preparations are complete
138
00:10:18,006 --> 00:10:20,016
on with the crime itself.
139
00:10:20,018 --> 00:10:24,008
Involving all
of Gotham's major banks.
140
00:10:26,023 --> 00:10:29,013
Now, most great crimes
are built on the foundation
141
00:10:29,014 --> 00:10:33,024
of monetary gain diamonds,
gold, art, etcetera.
142
00:10:33,017 --> 00:10:37,017
But pilfering mere money
is so passe these days.

144

Voila, I'm rich, you're not.
148
00:10:58,009 --> 00:11:02,009
The ultimate crime
should induce mass hysteria
149
00:11:02,008 --> 00:11:05,018
because fear is
the felon's friend.

Oh, and what crime is complete
154
00:11:15,021 --> 00:11:18,011
without the personal touch.
155
00:11:19,008 --> 00:11:21,018
'My calling card.'
156
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,010
And there you have it, Gotham.
The ultimate crime.
157
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,020
You would probably like
your tracking device back.
158
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,020
Another predictable move.
159
00:11:35,020 --> 00:11:39,000
Then my next move
won't surprise you either.
160
00:11:39,006 --> 00:11:40,016

161
00:11:42,017 --> 00:11:45,007
Not only am I smarter
than you, Batman
162
00:11:45,015 --> 00:11:48,005
I am faster and stronger.

With one snap I can accomplish
what no villain has before

but breaking bones
is also passe.
168
00:12:19,014 --> 00:12:22,024
(D.A.V.E.)
'Your defeat must be
the ultimate defeat.'
169
00:12:22,017 --> 00:12:24,997
So until we meet
again, Batman
170
00:12:25,004 --> 00:12:28,024
today's crime
concludes with this
171
00:12:28,022 --> 00:12:30,012
my getaway.

The good news is
emergency power is operational.

00:12:40,012 --> 00:12:43,002
The bad news,
your bank account is empty.
175
00:12:43,006 --> 00:12:45,996
Right now, I'm more concerned
with finding a way to defeat
176
00:12:46,006 --> 00:12:48,016
the sum total
of my greatest enemies.
177
00:12:48,021 --> 00:12:51,021
I'm hoping this diagnostic of
D.A.V.E.'s original hard drive
178
00:12:52,001 --> 00:12:54,011
will shed some light on that.
179
00:12:55,005 --> 00:12:56,005
Sir?
180
00:12:56,009 --> 00:12:57,999
According to this
D.A.V.E.'s escape

00:12:58,004 --> 00:13:00,024
from Gotham P.D.
wasn't a glitch.
182
00:13:00,020 --> 00:13:02,020
It was preprogrammed.
183
00:13:02,018 --> 00:13:03,998
How very odd.
184
00:13:04,006 --> 00:13:07,016
Not odd, Alfred. Strange.
185
00:13:11,001 --> 00:13:12,021
[thunder rumbling]
186
00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:17,010
(Batman)
'Strange.'
187
00:13:17,013 --> 00:13:18,023
Ah.
188
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,010
The Dark Knight returns.
189
00:13:21,009 --> 00:13:24,019
D.A.V.E.'s escape was
no accident. Was it, professor?
190
00:13:24,019 --> 00:13:28,999
You are not suggesting
that I deliberately released
191
00:13:29,003 --> 00:13:32,023
Gotham's ultimate
criminal mastermind?
192
00:13:32,022 --> 00:13:34,022
I'm suggesting
that you might find Arkham
193
00:13:34,020 --> 00:13:37,000
a better home than office.
194
00:13:37,003 --> 00:13:41,013
The line between
genius and insanity
195
00:13:41,015 --> 00:13:44,005
is often blurred.
196
00:13:48,003 --> 00:13:49,013
[strange grunting]
197
00:13:53,003 --> 00:13:55,013
Didn't know
you were such a fan.
198
00:13:55,011 --> 00:13:58,021
Your obsession with
criminals fascinates me
199
00:13:58,017 --> 00:14:01,017
as much as
the criminals themselves.
200
00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:04,000
Shut down, D.A.V.E. now!
201
00:14:04,002 --> 00:14:07,012
I may have created
D.A.V.E., Batman
202
00:14:07,008 --> 00:14:09,998
but I no longer control him.
203
00:14:10,006 --> 00:14:11,996
Then tell me how to stop him.
204
00:14:12,003 --> 00:14:17,003
You can't. You see,
he was designed to stop you.
205
00:14:17,005 --> 00:14:21,005
D.A.V.E. enacted his crimes to
bait you into encounters
206
00:14:21,012 --> 00:14:23,012
'in order to study you.'
207
00:14:23,015 --> 00:14:25,015
And why would he
wanna study me?
208
00:14:25,020 --> 00:14:29,000
Because I also programmed
my psychology
209
00:14:29,005 --> 00:14:31,005
into D.A.V.E.'s brain.
210
00:14:31,008 --> 00:14:35,008
D.A.V.E. shares my fascination
with you, Batman.
211
00:14:35,007 --> 00:14:38,017
'And, by now,
has probably learned'
212
00:14:38,022 --> 00:14:43,002
'all there is to know
about you.'
213
00:14:43,004 --> 00:14:45,004
[doorbell ringing]
214
00:14:46,005 --> 00:14:48,005
Yes, yes, one moment.
215
00:14:53,019 --> 00:14:57,999
Good evening.
Is the Batman home?
216
00:15:06,017 --> 00:15:10,017
Welcome home...Bruce.
217
00:15:12,013 --> 00:15:14,023
You should have told me
you were stopping by.
218
00:15:14,021 --> 00:15:16,021
The place is a mess.
219
00:15:16,017 --> 00:15:18,017
Humor, often used
as a coping mechanism
220
00:15:18,022 --> 00:15:20,022
in high-stress situations.
221
00:15:20,023 --> 00:15:24,023
But I am not here
to trade quips, Bruce.
222
00:15:24,018 --> 00:15:26,008
I am here to destroy you.
223
00:15:26,010 --> 00:15:31,010
But how does one best destroy
your alter ego, the Batman?
224
00:15:31,015 --> 00:15:35,005
One allows him
to destroy himself.
225
00:15:44,008 --> 00:15:45,008
Alfred.
226
00:15:45,013 --> 00:15:47,013
I present you with a game
227
00:15:47,009 --> 00:15:50,999
'I call the No-Win Situation.'
228
00:15:51,002 --> 00:15:53,022
'The red button
is wired to your Batwave'
229
00:15:54,001 --> 00:15:57,021
'which is set to transmit
your secret identity'
230
00:15:57,022 --> 00:16:00,002
'to all of Gotham city.'
231
00:16:08,014 --> 00:16:12,024
'The blue button is wired
to a device that if activated'
232
00:16:12,017 --> 00:16:17,007
'will send your closest ally
in the world to his doom.'
233
00:16:17,016 --> 00:16:20,006
Press the blue button
and you save Mr. Pennyworth
234
00:16:20,011 --> 00:16:22,011
but reveal
your secret identity.
235
00:16:22,015 --> 00:16:25,005
'Press the red button
and you protect your identity'
236
00:16:25,014 --> 00:16:28,024
'but lose your dear friend.'
237
00:16:28,018 --> 00:16:32,018
'So choose your poison,
but choose it soon'
238
00:16:32,021 --> 00:16:37,021
because when this hourglass
empties, you forfeit both.
239
00:16:37,020 --> 00:16:41,010
Gotham needs the Batman more
than you need a butler, sir.
240
00:16:44,010 --> 00:16:46,010
I've made my choice.
241
00:16:50,021 --> 00:16:52,021
None of the above.
242
00:16:59,020 --> 00:17:00,020
[grunting]
243
00:17:01,001 --> 00:17:03,021
How very predictable.
244
00:17:03,018 --> 00:17:05,018
I anticipated you
would try to create
245
00:17:05,020 --> 00:17:08,020
a third,
more favorable option.
246
00:17:10,012 --> 00:17:12,022
[timer beeping]
247
00:17:22,001 --> 00:17:25,021
You probably want to know
how I uncovered your secret.
248
00:17:25,019 --> 00:17:27,019
It was simple, really.
249
00:17:28,001 --> 00:17:30,011
Using information
readily available to anyone
250
00:17:30,014 --> 00:17:33,014
I began by narrowing down
Gotham's population
251
00:17:33,010 --> 00:17:36,010
of 750,832 males.
252
00:17:36,013 --> 00:17:39,013
Those not falling inside
the Batman's age range
253
00:17:39,008 --> 00:17:40,998
of 18 to 36, were eliminated.
254
00:17:41,005 --> 00:17:43,005
Medical records revealed
body type matches.
255
00:17:43,015 --> 00:17:45,015
Tax records indicated those
who possess the wealth
256
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:47,020
and resources
to create his technology.
257
00:17:47,021 --> 00:17:49,021
'But the true key
to the puzzle'
258
00:17:49,021 --> 00:17:52,001
'was deducing who
of the remaining candidates'
259
00:17:52,003 --> 00:17:54,013
'had motive to become
the Batman.'
260
00:17:54,009 --> 00:17:58,999
After all, every great hero
must have an origin.
261
00:17:59,004 --> 00:18:01,024
And once Gotham's ultimate
criminal mastermind
262
00:18:01,022 --> 00:18:07,002
put it all together,
the answer was obvious.
263
00:18:07,003 --> 00:18:11,023
Bruce Wayne, son of the late
Thomas and Martha Wayne.
264
00:18:16,022 --> 00:18:18,002
thud
265
00:18:23,006 --> 00:18:25,006
[metal clanking]
266
00:18:30,006 --> 00:18:35,996
So, Bruce Wayne, you no longer
need to hide behind this.
267
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,010
Impressive. You have
all the answers, D.A.V.E.
268
00:18:47,014 --> 00:18:48,024
Except one.
269
00:18:50,010 --> 00:18:53,010
Every great super-villain
has an origin too.
270
00:18:53,014 --> 00:18:55,004
What's yours?
271
00:18:57,012 --> 00:19:02,022
My origin? I, I fell
into a chemical bath.
272
00:19:02,022 --> 00:19:05,012
- That's Joker.
- A cryogenic mishap.
273
00:19:05,013 --> 00:19:07,023
No, I lost my family fortune.
274
00:19:08,001 --> 00:19:09,021
Freeze. Penguin.
275
00:19:09,023 --> 00:19:12,023
I was a mad psychiatrist
using Arkham as my cover.
276
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,020
That's Professor Strange,
your creator.
277
00:19:15,019 --> 00:19:19,009
You can't remember your origin
because it doesn't exist.
278
00:19:19,007 --> 00:19:21,007
You're a computer program.
279
00:19:24,002 --> 00:19:27,022
But I am Gotham's
ultimate criminal mastermind.
280
00:19:27,022 --> 00:19:30,012
I consider all possibilities.
281
00:19:30,008 --> 00:19:31,998
[groaning]
282
00:19:32,006 --> 00:19:36,006
How could I not have
considered this?
283
00:19:36,012 --> 00:19:38,002
crash
284
00:19:45,022 --> 00:19:48,022
[crowd gasping]
285
00:19:48,018 --> 00:19:50,998
You may not have a beginning.
286
00:19:54,004 --> 00:19:56,024
But now you have an end.
287
00:19:59,012 --> 00:20:00,012
No!
288
00:20:00,013 --> 00:20:02,003
thud
289
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,010
D.A.V.E. shall make
the ultimate addition
290
00:20:08,008 --> 00:20:10,008
to the trophy room, sir.
291
00:20:23,021 --> 00:20:26,011
There will be other
opportunities
292
00:20:26,010 --> 00:20:29,020
to peer behind the mask, Batman.
293
00:20:29,019 --> 00:20:32,009
For if you think
you have defeated
294
00:20:32,014 --> 00:20:37,024
Gotham's ultimate
criminal mastermind..
295
00:20:37,020 --> 00:20:40,010
...think again.
296
00:20:44,004 --> 00:20:46,014
[theme music]
