Blake had arrived at the Batcave, and the lights had turned on. Fox was there, standing in the lighted hallway, greeting Blake.
"Good Day, Mr. Blake." Fox said, greeting the policeman. "Seems you want to carry on the legacy of Batman."
"Yes, I do." Blake replied.
"I will now go over your gadgets and gear." Fox commented. "Study closely." Fox opened a case, revealing the grappling gun.
"This is a state of the art Grapnel Gun, perfect for swinging across chasms and grappling objects and enemies towards you." Fox explained, and opened the next case.
"This is your new and improved Nomex suit, made from the same material firefighter suits and flight suits are composed of." Fox explained. "It has kevlar lining, guaranteed to stop knives, bullets and even rounds from an AK-47." Fox opened the next case.
"These are your lightning batons, used for incapacitating your targets and knocking them out, ready for arrest." Fox explained.
"So, they are like tasers?" Blake asked.
"Exactly." Fox replied. "The cowl however, is newly modified with ears that can act operate on the same frequency as Wi-Fi, except you can't use the ears to watch porn at Starbucks."
"But can I detect emails sent over Wi-Fi to oversee a possible crime?" Blake asked.
"Yes, that is the intention." Fox remarked. Blake put together his suit, spray painted it black, and added a white touch, spray painting the bat logo white, as well as the utility belt. Blake met Fox at the garage, and saw a white Faraday Future like car, that looked suspiciously like a Batmobile.
"Cool". Blake said. "Less militaristic and more futuristic."
"We wanted it that way so terrorists like Bane couldn't use it to fuel their criminal militias." Fox commented.
"Does it come in black?" Blake asked.
"I knew you were going to ask that." Fox remarked. "It does."
Meanwhile, Cobblepot was at a rally, standing atop a podium, with thousands of supporters waving American flags, and had blue hats with the phrase; "Build A Better Gotham" on them, and there was Cobblepot, tapping the mic and beginning to speak.
"My fellow citizens of Gotham, the time is now for us to rebuild what has been lost in the fire of anarchy." He began. "They talk of liberation of Gotham, but the only way Gotham can truly be liberated is to find those responsible for these events, catch them, and blow them sky high!"
The crowd cheered.
"USA! USA! USA!" the crowd chanted.
"Our war with terrorism started with George W. Bush, and it will end with me." Cobblepot concluded. "The rebirth of Gotham begins now!"
