Terry goes up to check on him while Bruce continues to wander, arriving at the old Gotham Police Department headquarters. As Bruce reminisces, Ace starts acting strangely. The city council is trying to preserve the area, "but you know what it's like getting extra tax money." Terry is confused as to why Bruce would want to keep that particular memory alive when he could easily allow the area to be torn down and forget it, but Bruce quietly compares it to Terry forgetting the memory of what happened to his father. ![]() Nevertheless, he's sure that his plan will succeed.īruce meets up with Terry and takes him to Crime Alley, where he explains why he's fighting so hard to keep the place preserved: it includes the theater where his parents were killed. ![]() The proposal is quickly seconded and Powers has no choice but to allow the meeting to take place. He proposes that they hold a stockholders' meeting for a vote. Later, Bruce makes a speech to his board of directors expressing his disgust with Powers' idea to tear up Crime Alley, now known as Gotham's Historical District due to being left unchanged from the city's development and build an industrial complex. Seeking though to make use of Shreeve Sound Laboratories' research & development which has been made possible by Wayne-Powers funding, Powers conceives a specific use for the young scientist's cyclopean sonic-suit: he propositions Shreeve to eliminate the elderly Bruce Wayne.īruce speaks before the Wayne-Powers board of directors. Shreeve expresses his desire to use this suit to revolutionise the construction industry, but Powers is still unimpressed. However, Shreeve shows his financial benefactor the real reason for his visit, this being the invention of a profound acoustical amplification/manipulation suit capable of easily destroying solid objects through use of focused infrasonic frequencies. At first, Powers is angry at the mediocre demonstration. ![]() Just as he screams in panic, the illusion ends and Shreeve points out that it was only to prove his point. Just after that, Powers hears the sound of a locomotive racing towards him and stares into its headlight. Derek Powers sits alone in a dark room while listening to a presentation from acoustician Walter Shreeve, who explains that sound is the first warning of danger and is under-appreciated.
