"But that will only cause greater chaos!" However, Kai underestimated Bruce, and he naturally thought about those things. But in his opinion, if he does that, it will only cause greater chaos, leading to a complete collapse of social order, and more people will be harmed by then.
"Uh..." Kai was stunned. "You mean you plan to reduce crime by fighting crime?"
Although criminals are an individual problem, large-scale crime is never a moral problem for individuals in society, but a problem for the entire social system. But Bruce is thinking about using individual solutions to change the entire society...
This idea... is really awesome.
"Do you think it's possible?" Kai was not optimistic about Bruce's approach at all. There is something wrong with the entire social structure. No matter how many people you sanction, it will be useless. "You're using fear to control people from committing crimes, but the problem is poverty is sometimes scarier than fear!"
In Kai's opinion, this means treating the foot for a sore foot and the head for a headache. No, this is completely treating the symptoms rather than the root cause!
"If you don't change the entire society, everything you do will be meaningless, and it may even be worse!" When Kai used to watch movie animations, he actually didn't think about this at all... Who the hell would even think about that when watching that stuff? Something profound?
But with in-depth communication with Bruce, Kai suddenly realized that Batman... is actually not as great as he imagined. According to his social perspective, Batman's existence is even meaningless! At this moment, the soul of Marxism-Leninism, the birthplace of socialist education, burned brightly!
"Please tell me truthfully, Bruce, has Gotham really changed for the better after you became Batman?"
Bruce was silenced by the question.
He wanted to say that he had gotten better, because that meant that his efforts had not been in vain... but the fact was...
"There was a time when things did get better. But..."
When there were no gangs, Gotham was just bad. Gangs were rampant, government and businessmen colluded, and there was no distinction between black and white.
But with the advent of Batman, these have not changed. Instead, various super villains have appeared, such as the Joker, Two-Face, The Riddler, Penguin, Scarecrow, etc.!
Each of these people has brought greater pain to Gotham, pain that can no longer be erased.
Batman really wants to bring redemption to Gotham, but the harder he tries, the sadder the result becomes.
Some people may say that the emergence of these super villains has nothing to do with Batman. Without Batman, these villains will still appear. But without Batman, things will only get worse!
Okay, let's get rid of all this.
Has Gotham changed for the better?
The answer is still...no!
Crime has not decreased. Maybe many big gangs have been eradicated, but new gangs are still springing up like mushrooms after a rain!
"Young Master, I don't know what you think of your world, but in my opinion, what your world lacks is revolution! A class revolution! A revolution that can redistribute wealth! Those gangsters, they You're not even afraid of death, you're just afraid of poverty! But you're so stingy about death, so what are they afraid of? They're going to suffer poverty anyway, and they won't die if they're caught, so they can't do it! Since you want to use fear to do it Control them, then you will do it to the end!”
"No! I can't do that. If I start to use my abilities to kill those people wantonly, what's the difference between me and them? What I want is the awakening of the city. I may not be able to bring salvation to this city, but The meaning of my existence is to give them a glimmer of light and a direction, letting them know that there are still people in this city who are resisting and working for good things! I am a symbol! I must maintain my bottom line! I You don’t want me to become a thug who kills indiscriminately. Human reason is limited, and I must be a role model! Batman exists to convince criminals that Gotham’s laws are worth fearing; it is to convince others that this The city can be trusted. As long as people are willing to believe, there is still hope in Gotham in hell. If there is no hope, people will rot, fall, be superstitious about themselves, and use whatever means to get the results they want."
Bruce said it well, but... Kai still didn't understand.
"Since you are already planning to become a symbol, why don't you just do it! You are avoiding the important and taking the light! Your enemies have never been those super villains! Those are not the problem at all. Kill them and the problem will not exist. Even your enemies are not those Criminals, because their very existence is the result of mistakes, they are not the mistakes themselves! Your real problem is that those criminals do not get a truly fair trial! They treat prison as a vacation and the trial as a study! From your In the expression, what we see is system failure, government failure, and the government itself represents injustice. This is like you looking for a correct answer to a wrong question, do you think this is possible?"
No one on either side can convince the other.
Batman...just look at the things he does and you'll understand what a paranoid person he is. This guy was able to remain sane even after the Joker killed his first Robin. Instead of killing the Joker, he sent him to a mental hospital, and before that, the Joker had escaped from prison for the Nth time!
If he could be persuaded by words...The Joker would have stayed with Batman eight hundred years ago! Is it the turn of Kay, a half-hearted theoretician, to talk nonsense here?
So the two sides started arguing constantly.
Their arguments became more and more intense, and even the people around them couldn't get a word in.
It wasn't until a few hours later that the two sides finally reached a consensus.
That is, the opposite person is a potato who knows nothing!
Arguing with him is a complete waste of time!
"Are you done arguing?" Tony and the others ran over immediately when they heard the argument was over.
At first they would listen to their argument with great interest, but later they realized that both sides were very stubborn, refusing to admit defeat no matter what, and they were more restrained - meaning they didn't start a fight.
There is no fun anymore, so they will not waste any more time.
"We're not arguing, we're just discussing!" Kai said seriously.
"Discuss, discuss. What's the result?"
"The result is... we are all idle. We are not from the same world to begin with! There is no point in fighting to win, so let's just stop fighting." Kai picked up a bottle of mineral water and took a big sip.
Tony was stunned for a moment, then raised his thumb: "Insightful!"
"No, at least, you guys can still learn a lot from us." Bruce said sheepishly.
He didn't intend to argue. He came here to ask for help, but inexplicably ended up spending a long time fighting with a superhero from another world without doing anything serious.
"For example, the technical level of your side is very meaningful to me."
Tony accepted Bruce's compliment without any humility.
"When you mention this, I have to complain about your armor. This thing is simply too thick. If it were me, there would be no way I would disgrace myself by driving such a defective product!"
Bruce didn't see anything embarrassing in this, he cared more about practicality.
Besides, others were right.
Compared to the Iron Man armor, his Anti-Superman armor does have many shortcomings, such as artificial intelligence.
Bruce's armor is equipped with a personal computer terminal, which is more than three generations behind artificial intelligence such as Jarvis.
There is also the Ark Reactor, which is simply epoch-making.
Speaking of technology, Tony thought of their Superman.
"By the way, didn't you say Superman is an alien? Doesn't he have any alien technology?"
Tony is very interested in Superman.
After all, such an alien is too strong, and those abilities sound amazing. According to Bruce, Superman came to Krypton. Their appearance is the same as that of Earthlings, and the galaxy they live in is 50 light-years away from the Earth. The planet is much larger than Earth and therefore has a greater gravitational pull. The Kryptonians are a very powerful civilization with a long history and ultra-high technology. Their star fleet can sail in various areas of the universe.
But such a race actually became extinct.
After all, they were not exterminated by other civilizations, but their own planet exploded, and then the Kryptonians became extinct.
No matter how you listen to it, it sounds unscientific!
Thinking about Superman's abilities... they are so powerful, and with such awesome technology... such a race would actually become extinct due to the destruction of its home planet.
Bruce couldn't explain why, after all, even Clark himself couldn't explain it clearly.
Others are orphans.
"Clark does have a Kryptonian spaceship...but I haven't had time to study it yet."
The main reason was that Clark didn't want others to disturb the spaceship, which was a gift left to him by Clark's biological father.
"That's such a pity. Aren't you facing an attack by aliens over there? You can definitely go back and study Kryptonian technology." Tony indeed felt a pity, especially since he was very interested in the terrifying physical fitness of the Kryptonians. If he could figure out the secret that they were bodies, he could completely get rid of his reputation as a weakling. He couldn't even beat his girlfriend now.
Although his girlfriend is meant for pain, not for beating, and he doesn't have to compete with his girlfriend, it's a bit embarrassing that his girlfriend is stronger than him.
"I will consider this suggestion." Bruce said seriously.
"Then what do we do next?"
Bruce then looked at Kai who was eating.
He opened his mouth.
A little embarrassed.
"What do you want to ask?" Kai could tell what Bruce wanted to say.
"Batman?!!! Really!!!" At this moment, a voice full of surprise came, and then a burst of excitement, Peter and his little friends ran in.
They had been in a coma before.
Although the technology of Bruce's world lags behind theirs, it is not without achievements. For example, the anesthetics used by Bruce are very powerful.
It only takes a little bit to make the little spiders sleep until now.
You must know that the little spiders that have been genetically modified are much stronger than elephants and have excellent regeneration and metabolism capabilities.
Common anesthetics have minimal effect on them.
Four little spiders surrounded Bruce, looking left and right.
"Does Batman look like this? He's quite handsome." Stacey commented.
Peter waved his hand: "It's different. He is the Batman of another world. There is still a difference from the Batman here. Just like Parker and Benjamin, we are all Peter Parker, but we are older It’s completely different.”
"Maybe, like Kingpin, he looks exactly like the Kingpin of this world."
Stacey retorted.
Peter was lost in thought.
Then he looked up at Kai.
If there is anyone in the world who can see Batman's true face, Peter believes that it is definitely Kai.
"Don't look at me. I don't know what Batman looks like under his mask." Although Kai used the Batman image he was most familiar with to make his face, in fact, there are countless appearances of that thing. What does it look like? It depends on Kai's mood. Originally, it didn't matter what Batman looked like.
Like Bruce said, Batman is just a symbol.
"Huh? You haven't even seen him? What a pity."
Peter felt frustrated.
"Hey! Boy, haven't you always said that the person you admire most is me?" Tony said jealously.
"Mr. Stark, I... I admire you too, but... aren't you curious about what Batman looks like?"
Peter defended a little shyly.
Batman is his eternal god, but Tony Stark is also very important.
What's more, Mr. Stark is right next to him.
Tony is naturally not that superficial and would be jealous of this thing. He is not a traffic star, so he cannot compete for this position.
He was just teasing this kid.
"Of course I'm curious!" Speaking of Batman's true identity, Tony was not the first to become curious, but he was definitely the one who studied it the most. After all, he had been in contact with Batman several times. He tried his best to find out Batman's identity through various messages. Unfortunately, no matter how many methods he used, he could not find out Batman's true identity.
"It's just that this guy is a complete mystic. Even when he speaks, he uses electronically synthesized sounds. I asked Jarvis to analyze all his dialogues and found that those sounds actually come from processed movie dialogues. . This guy must be a sociophobic cancer patient!"
Tony felt that he and Batman were acquaintances at least, but this guy never revealed any information about himself, guarding him like a thief.
This makes people very uncomfortable, as if anyone can harm him.
He said and looked at Bruce.
"Look at other people's Batmans, most of their faces are exposed!"
When Bruce heard this compliment, he suddenly felt a little unsure of how to describe his feelings.
He has always benefited from his disguise.
Don't think anyone thinks Batman has anything to do with playboy Bruce Wayne.
As a result, after he came here, he was criticized more than once for being unprofessional.
Bruce feels aggrieved. Is this unprofessional?
So what's Clark?
If someone else wears these eyes, they are pretending...
