Gotham's industrial clients.

189
00:12:29,005 --> 00:12:31,015
Those companies were
arson victims, too.

"Gotham Telecom
191

after arson!"
192
00:12:38,015 --> 00:12:41,015

companies being out of business?

GothCorp, that's who.

It was staring me
in the face the whole time.
196
00:12:49,008 --> 00:12:50,998
Firefly doesn't commit arson.
197
00:12:51,002 --> 00:12:52,022
He commits corporate sabotage
198
00:12:52,018 --> 00:12:54,998
and he's working for GothCorp.
199
00:12:55,002 --> 00:12:57,012
It's no wonder
that GothCorp is so interested
200
00:12:57,009 --> 00:12:58,999
in funding
the children's hospital.
201
00:12:59,006 --> 00:13:00,006
Nothing like a little good PR
202
00:13:00,016 --> 00:13:02,996
to distract the public
from dirty business.
203
00:13:03,003 --> 00:13:06,003
Perhaps the batman and
Bruce Wayne can work together
204
00:13:06,003 --> 00:13:09,003
to stop Firefly and GothCorp.
205
00:13:09,005 --> 00:13:11,015
The Batman will fight
fire with fire.
206
00:13:12,001 --> 00:13:14,011
But first Bruce Wayne
needs to lead
207
00:13:14,016 --> 00:13:17,996
a certain moth to flame.
208
00:13:18,004 --> 00:13:21,014
And in business,
local billionaire Bruce Wayne
209
00:13:21,007 --> 00:13:22,017
stepped into the spotlight again
210
00:13:22,019 --> 00:13:25,019
this time with breaking news
at Wayne Industries.
211
00:13:25,018 --> 00:13:28,018
I can't reveal any details yet
but, in the next few days
212
00:13:28,022 --> 00:13:30,012
Wayne Industries
will unveil a prototype
213
00:13:30,015 --> 00:13:33,015
that will make us the premier
technologies company in Gotham.
214
00:13:33,023 --> 00:13:36,023
In fact, it'll set
the tech world on fire.
215
00:13:36,023 --> 00:13:39,023
Are you concerned
about competition from GothCorp?
216
00:13:39,020 --> 00:13:43,010
Let's just say I wouldn't want
to be GothCorp right now.
