However, having just reached a cooperation agreement with Jerome, Director Bruce and Sheriff Gordon tacitly chose to forget about that matter.
This meant that they might lean toward Gotham City in certain matters, but unless necessary, they would not take the initiative to offend Gotham's powerful elite. It was worth mentioning that although Alfred wore a black-and-white Batsuit, its technology and structure were completely different from Batman's. The only similarity was that the suit had been precisely tailored to Alfred's build. Don't forget—Alfred had been aboard the cruise ship when the violent explosion occurred!
Both of them understood clearly that no matter how Batman concealed his true identity, he had to be hiding among those passengers!
The explosion was accompanied by a deafening boom and a shockwave!
Had Gordon and Bruce given up because of a single setback?
As for the locations where the two ships had originally been, after the explosions, only wreckage remained floating on the sea, still sinking.
The seawater was struck by the force of the shockwave, forming enormous waves. Although the signals aboard the cruise ship had been blocked, the cameras of those media outlets had not!
According to his calculations, given the positions of the two cruise ships and the way the shockwave forces canceled each other out, Gotham City should theoretically not have been affected.
No one had expected this development. For Gotham City, however, it was a good thing. As long as the bombs on the two ships did not explode, they would remain a threat sooner or later.
Even after taking off Batman's disguise, that strange suit of armor remained. It was also clear just how powerful Jeremiah's financial resources were!
Everyone watching the live broadcast was left shaken by the explosion!
Jeremiah's reason for detonating the bombs ahead of schedule
