Batman's next target was to rescue the third police officer. He had to go near the Ace Chemicals building. Although he had visited the site previously and failed to locate the police vehicle, this time he was confident that a thorough search would surely reveal it.
After reaching the bridge at Ace Chemicals, I activated Detective Mode. However, I couldn't find any clues at first. Then, after climbing onto a tall pillar of the bridge and activating Detective Mode again, I spotted the car's location near a small island in the distance. I glided over to the spot.
Drawing on my experience from the previous two times, I knew the first task would be to defuse the bomb planted in the car. I had struggled significantly to defuse the second bomb, so I realized this time would be even harder. But I had never imagined it would be this difficult.
I don't know if you'll believe it, but I failed a total of fourteen times while trying to defuse this bomb. At one point, it seemed like I would never be able to complete the mission. But finally, on the fifteenth attempt, I succeeded in defusing it.
But the real surprise was yet to come. When I opened the car's trunk, I found no police officer inside, there was only a mysterious book. Even Batman couldn't figure out what kind of game the Mad Hatter was actually playing.
Without wasting any more time, I quickly returned to the GCPD to interrogate the Mad Hatter. Upon arriving, I angrily grabbed him by the collar and pressured him to tell the truth. He then calmly told me to turn a page of the book.
As soon as I turned the page, everything around me changed. It felt as though Batman had stepped into another world. Opening my eyes, I found myself standing in front of Arkham Asylum. But the strangest thing was that I had become much smaller than before. I felt just like a toy doll. And towering over me was the massive Mad Hatter. It felt as though I were his puppet, and he was controlling me at his own whim.
Just then, the massive gates of Arkham Asylum swung open. A masked police officer emerged from within, accompanied by several criminals. I realized that a new battle was about to begin.
I began striking the enemies one after another. But they were unlike ordinary foes. While others could be knocked unconscious with just a few punches, these would get back up every time I knocked them down. It seemed impossible to finish them off, even after repeatedly defeating the same enemy.
After battling for a long time and knocking everyone out about four times, the fight finally ended on the fifth attempt. I thought the mission was over, but I soon realized that the real game was just beginning.
