It is impossible to say that Batman is not curious about magic. He is a person who naturally wants to investigate everything clearly and then come up with several solutions to possible situations.
Ever since he met Constantine, he had labeled this rotten man twice, one as a hopeless scumbag, and the other as a source of information that could allow him to understand magic.
If you want to investigate someone, you must first find out his life schedule and movement trajectory, and the best way to find out all this is to follow him.
When Batman dealt with this kind of thing before, it was not that he had never encountered situations where certain people would go to some places that were difficult to describe. In other words, when investigating certain people in Gotham, he could not avoid these places.
These places inevitably involve some less legal industries, but the presence in Gotham would not surprise anyone.
The only exception to this is his psychology professor. The professor's two-point and one-line life made Batman even come up with a set of plans that he might be a robot. However, except for this professor, everyone has a little bit of trouble. Little hobby, Bruce's friends are no exception.
Harvey Dent likes to play billiards and will go to the game room with his colleagues in the court after get off work. Gordon will go out drinking with his colleagues and go hunting in the countryside in his free time. Although Catwoman works as a thief, she does not steal. When they were shopping, they would also go to dance parties or go to the amusement park to play. Since all the places they went to were gang properties, there were some ulterior deals in them.
When investigating these people, when Batman sees these transactions, he usually chooses to knock people unconscious. If something goes too far, he will go talk to the boss of the industry, but these places are only in the lives of these people. Played a very small role.
Unlike Constantine, these industries played a full role in his life.
Bars, dance halls, game rooms, casinos, pharmacies, and red light districts, Constantine travels through these places every day without a day off.
During the time that Batman was following him, stopping the nefarious dealings in the places he visited was a much greater workload than tracking him.
More importantly, these places often have some unpleasant smells, such as the smell of alcohol in bars, the smell of cigarettes in casinos, and the strong smell of sesame oil in drug addict gathering places. Even if Batman prepares some odor removers, But it still couldn't escape Elsa's nose.
Elsa is not an ordinary person. Her senses are extremely sensitive. Not only is she gifted with night vision, but her sense of smell is far beyond that of ordinary people.
One night, Batman followed Constantine to an underground stronghold where drug addicts were gathering. Because it was underground, he couldn't observe the situation there from other upstairs, so he had to sneak in by himself.
There, he found out Constantine's usual dose and found that he was indeed a completely crazy drug addict, but he also had some of that smell on his body. At that time, Batman didn't realize it yet , what will happen if you go home with this smell.
That day, as usual, he walked through the courtyard like the wind and came to the balcony with his hook. Just when he was about to change clothes, he heard some movement outside the door.
Batman instantly put on a defensive posture. Just when he was about to move towards the door, there was a "bang" and the entire door flew out. Elsa's figure appeared outside the door. She sniffed hard. Then he started crying loudly.
Coincidentally, Catwoman Selina also stayed at Wayne Manor that day. Her bedroom was next to Batman's. Elsa ran out of her room. When she heard Elsa's cry, Catwoman hurried Ran out.
At first, Catwoman didn't know why Elsa was crying, but when she got close to Batman, she frowned hard, took two steps back in disgust, and then said, "Did you go?" Those most famous drug dens in the North District? Do you know how stinky you are now?"
"Oh my God! That smell is disgusting!" Catwoman covered her neck and carried Elsa to the corridor. She didn't seem to want to get close to Batman. She said, "I know it's inevitable to be with this guy in Gotham." It’s a smell, but don’t you think about it, you still have two children at home?”
Catwoman's tone was very dissatisfied, as if she was really angry. Although she was a thief, she was also most annoyed by those drug addicts who wreaked havoc everywhere. She was also a bit mysophobic and hated the smell of those drugs.
Not to mention, Catwoman had put a lot of effort into putting Elsa to sleep three or four hours ago, but now she was woken up again, and she was crying so hard.
It's like a mother who has been tired of taking care of her child for a whole day. After a lot of effort, she finally puts her difficult baby to sleep. As a result, the father smelling of alcohol rushes into the bedroom and puts the sleeping soundly into bed. The child was so smoked that he cried loudly. You can imagine that this father must be in bad luck.
Moreover, the noise here also woke Dick up. He changed to a day school. The school was still quite far from Wayne Manor, so he had to get up early to go to class the next day. Looking at it like this, he definitely couldn't get up. Going to be late.
After waking up everyone in Wayne Manor, Batman had to come to the living room to accept their criticism. If he was facing Selina, he could also explain that he went to such a place for investigation work. , but facing Alfred, Batman really has no room for explanation.
Because in the old housekeeper's opinion, even if the sky falls, he can't go to that kind of place.
As expected, Batman was scolded. Although Alfred would not reprimand him in the tone of a real elder, but only gave very gentle advice, Batman knew very well that it was best for him to listen honestly. Then do it.
Since then, it is unknown what agreement Alfred and Elsa have reached. Elsa has become a humanoid detector. As long as she finds that Batman stays away from home at night and returns to the manor in the middle of the night, she will immediately join him. Come up, smell if there is any strange smell on Batman, and guess where he went.
If there is any bad smell, Elsa will immediately scream and wake everyone up, followed by Batman's midnight criticism meeting.
Since the Batphobia, Batman felt that he was suffering from Elsa phobia. Even if he saw a little girl about the same age as Elsa on the street, he would feel like walking around.
I don’t know when it started. When Batman faced the people in Wayne Manor, it was difficult for him to say that kind of very cold rejection.
If he must insist on his own way, he can just turn around and go back to the room, close the door, put on his pajamas, and go to bed without paying attention to anyone's noise. Then he can continue such actions the next day, whether it is Elsa, Dick, Catwoman, or even Al Fred couldn't shake him.
But Batman thought that maybe he had rejected others too many times outside. Whenever he saw the dim light in his lair, he felt that the indifference and stubbornness were gradually washed away.
Therefore, he was like an adult participating in a children's drama performance, participating with a slightly lame, obviously fake childishness.
Or maybe, he is actually the only child in this children's drama.
Batman was not the only one to discover Elsa's special situation. Hal, the Green Lantern who came to Gotham because of the yellow light ring, also discovered it before.
He also participated in the battle in the dream, so he also knew how Aisha was born. Now he faced two problems.
The first is, will Elsa, reincarnated from the yellow lantern monster Parallax, pose a threat to the security of the universe like other yellow lantern monsters?
The other is, who let go of Sinestro, the leader of the Yellow Lantern Corps?
These are also two investigation tasks assigned to Hal by the Green Lantern Corps after he reported what happened in Gotham to the Green Lantern Corps. However, regarding the first question, Hal was a little disdainful.
Maybe it’s because the little girl reincarnated by Parallax Monster is cute and harmless, and she seems to be more interested in finding something to grind her teeth on than the safety of the universe, so Hal doesn’t think she can threaten the universe. Safety.
However, Hal is just a fledgling Green Lantern, and he is still at the stage of completing whatever orders the Green Lantern Corps issues.
So, he had to keep a sneaky eye on Aisha. Fortunately, the green light ring had many functions suitable for tracking, such as teleportation and invisibility, which prevented him from being arrested for following a little girl.
As for the second question, Hal checked and found Constantine, because the only strange outsider who came to Gotham recently was Constantine. So, while following Elsa, He is also following Constantine.
But at the same time, Batman is also following Constantine, so it is difficult to judge whether Hal's behavior is tracking Constantine or Batman.
At the beginning, Hal's actions went smoothly. There was no character like him in Gotham, and no one knew the specific function of the Green Lantern Ring. He could come and go freely in Gotham.
Batman, who is obsessed with investigating magic, has no time to pay attention to him. After all, in the process of facing the fear of the Laughing Devil, he can be regarded as one of his comrades. Compared with Constantine, a weirdo who knows magic and has unknown friends and foes, Green Lantern Hal The priority is relatively low.
Hal was also very satisfied with the progress of his investigation. He suddenly discovered that the horrific rumors about Gotham he had seen on TV and newspapers were actually nothing more than that.
Although there are many gangsters and bad guys here, most of them are ordinary people without superpowers. As a Green Lantern with various superpowers, he encountered no obstacles here.
Whether it was the most chaotic East End dock area, the North End area with many gangster family estates, the southern part of the new wealthy area, or the western part of the old city, he could travel freely without being targeted by anyone.
Until one day, the Green Lantern, who was glowing with green light, came to the tall traffic light pole in the middle of the central turntable.
