——DC, Dark——Universe 0, Gotham. Bruce Wayne is preparing to visit the Gotham City Zoo.
Along with Mr. Joe Cole. The former was because he received an invitation from Mr. Waylon Jones, while the latter was an uninvited guest who was waiting at the door of Wayne Manor, dressed as a clown, and insisted on following.
The reason why I say yes
"Dressed up as a clown" is because he is not wearing the green hair, purple suit and white face makeup look, but the costume is exaggerated and the smile is exaggerated. At first glance, he looks like a clown giving out balloons at the entrance of an amusement park.
A clown dressed as a clown, eh.
"..."
"..." Ever since they got in the car, the two of them had been staring at each other in silence like children playing a boring game like who could speak first. Bruce was expressionless, while Joe Cole had been winking and making faces in an attempt to win him over. Amusing.
"You'd better say something, young master, at least persuade this gentleman to take off his makeup," Alfred, who was driving, broke the silence: "I think you don't want to see tomorrow's headline being "Gotham's richest man and clown visit the zoo" .”
"...They don't have that much time." Bruce glanced out the window. Alien invasion, Batman proliferation, robot rebellion, and Batman landing on the moon. After this series of events, Gotham became a little bit. The word Miss Bai Jingjing once said was...oh, yes, a little bit.
"Cyberpunk". Although the construction of housing blocks and other infrastructure has not kept up, most pedestrians wear AR glasses. Occasionally, you can see guys with weird-looking robots strutting through the city. If you keep looking up, there is a smaller chance. He saw a dark shadow moving between buildings - there was no doubt that it was a certain Batman.
The citizens of Gotham seem to adapt well to all non-disruptive changes, if not
The technology of the "Bat Spaceship" is too advanced to be copied, and there will definitely be more exaggerated situations in the sky.
In this environment, Gotham's
"Super criminals" have also experienced varying degrees of
"Evolution", for example, the Scarecrow began to use a large number of robots, the Riddler did not appear in person and instead used various AR and VR devices to set traps and puzzles, and the Mad Hatter...he created a
The beautiful robot "Alice" is much quieter after being paired with AI, but it seems more worthy of being thrown into a mental hospital.
There are also other criminal reserves. For example, Hugo began to study people's mental and thinking changes in the new technological environment, Bane tried to install more powerful exoskeleton armor on himself, and so on.
Only the Joker is still trying to amuse Batman, the absolutely neutral man.
"This Mr. Hitchhiker," after thinking about it, Bruce looked at the man in front of him.
"Joker" asked one word at a time: "Who are you?" He was using the
The identity of "Bruce Wayne", so you must first determine whether the person opposite is the clown, the famous criminal in Gotham, or Joe Cole, the consultant of the Wayne Group, before you can decide your attitude towards him.
Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed a bit ridiculous. Batman has always treated the two identities of the Joker equally, but Bruce Wayne must treat them differently. Perhaps it is true to what someone said: Bruce is not playing Batman, but Batman is. Play Bruce.
"[Oh~, what are you talking about? Mr. Wayne,]"
"Clown" spoke in a funny tone: "[I'm just a poor employee who works at the zoo you're going to, and I have to ask you to give me a lift because I'm going to be late.]" The familiar role play is that of the clown That's right.
But every time he makes an incredible move, there is actually a relatively self-consistent reason, and this time the reason should be... What's wrong with the zoo itself?
As the richest man in Gotham, no one wants to cause trouble to Bruce. Knowing that he belongs to Batman, they will stay away from him. This means that there are things in the zoo that are dangerous to everyone regardless of their identity.
The clown's move was to prevent
"Bruce Wayne" was hurt by this danger and came here to remind or protect him? After all, even if the incarnation
"Batman" is just an ordinary person. Apart from a suit of equipment that is so technologically advanced that it is almost magical, he has no truly extraordinary powers.
Combined with the fact that even the director of the zoo, Waylon Jones, cannot handle it and invites himself to solve it, the answer is obvious: power from [outside the world].
"I don't mind if you hitchhike, Mr. Employee," Bruce folded his hands and leaned forward, making a listening gesture: "But I haven't been to that zoo for a long time. Maybe you can give a brief introduction on the way. Let me ask you, are there any new projects there?"
"[Oh! That's right, that's it!]" The clown said in an exaggerated tone, but because the makeup on his face was too thick, his expression couldn't be seen: "[I'd love to introduce it to you!]" Next, Bruce looked at the clown. He rummaged around in the various pockets of his large clown suit and found uninflated balloons, packaged candies, small electric fans, headphones, cooling patches, tissues and other unknown items and stuffed them back again.
I don’t know where this outfit was stolen. Maybe the real employee was running around in a hurry.
"[Oh! It's here!]" Finally, the clown took out a crumpled piece of paper that seemed to have been rolled into a ball and re-unrolled, similar to a leaflet.
"'Gotham City Zoo Employee Code of Conduct'?" Bruce read the top row of words clearly.
"[Oh, yes, yes, look...]" The clown seemed to be planning to hand over the piece of paper, but quickly withdrew his hand: "[No! This is employee code! You can't read it!]"
"..." Bruce leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair.
"[I mean, I should read it to you~ Ahem!]" The clown blinked and pretended to straighten the piece of paper: "[Our staff work four days a week and have three days off, and they have two months of paid vacation every year. , year-end bonuses for twenty to forty months, ten times overtime pay, and purchase of five types of insurance and three types of rebate funds for employees.]”…Killer Crocodile really doesn’t know how to run a business.
"[In order to continue to enjoy such generous benefits, please remember the following regulations and do not violate them easily:]"
"[1. There are many kinds of animals in this park, but there are no crocodiles and penguins.]"
"[2. If you see the above two animals, please bow to the crocodile and beat the penguin.]" Well...it's just Jones and Cobot.
"[3. This park has only 'Pedestrian Area', 'Herbivore Area', 'Carnivorous Beast Area' and 'Bird Amphibian Area', and there is no 'Marine Animal Area'."
"[4. If you see people on the road leading to the 'marine animal area' or with the area's staff badges, ignore them and call and report as soon as possible.]" Huh?
"[5. If you encounter tourists who claim that they went to the 'marine animal area' and got separated, please take them to the rest area and hand them over to black-clad staff to receive them and conduct a broadcast to trace them.]"
"[6. During the broadcast search period, even if you meet qualified tourists on the road, do not take the initiative to ask and guide them unless they are underage or under 1.2 meters.]" This is a bit interesting.
"[7. If you enter the 'marine animal area' by mistake, please repeat silently 'This is an hallucination caused by the scarecrow's gas' repeatedly and leave as soon as possible. During this period, do not talk to any tourists or staff in the area.]"
"[8. If you are unable to leave the 'Marine Animal Area', or have already spoken to tourists or staff in the area, please look for a performer dressed as a mermaid nearby for help.]" Hmm...
"[9. If you return successfully, please go to the rest area immediately to look for the staff in black and follow the instructions, and do not talk to anyone along the way.]"
"[I wish you success in your work and a happy life.]"
"[Note: When traveling with 'Batman', you do not need to follow any of the above rules.]"
