It's 5:46 in the morning.
it's all over.
The dragon's huge body, filled with stacks of mechanical objects, gradually shrank in size, and finally turned into a human form again.
Chen Tao walked behind Bain who fell to the ground and symbolically pulled out the venom tube behind him.
He just felt relieved.
Ever since the time travel, "Knightfall", the classic story of Batman's tragic failure, has been weighing heavily on his heart, making him always brooding, but now, everything is over.
Bane, who knew his true identity and was ready to destroy his life at any time, has been defeated. The clowns have been temporarily repelled by him, and the two more powerful ones have been captured.
Chen Tao knew that they were definitely not one of the three clowns - oh, this was absolutely certain.
But they are still strong enough. They were captured, and the three clowns might not be available for a long time.
I'm safe.
Chen Tao whispered to himself. He wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, so he only let out a low voice...
Hoo!
This voice was interpreted by Bain as ridicule.
"kill me."
Chen Tao heard the muscular weirdo say: "Why don't you do it?"
Chen Tao responded with silence.
Everyone is looking at him.
Killer Croc, Penguin, former Two-Face Harvey Dent, Ventriloquist, Mr. Freeze...
Poison Ivy put Harley Quinn down, and the always boisterous girl didn't say a word.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and solemn. People looked at Chen Tao standing in the center and the beast that fell at his feet like a pilgrim.
Deadshot looked left and right. He wriggled his lips and wanted to make some cold joke, but in the end he silently retracted his body into the crowd.
Chen Tao looked at Bain with a murderous intention...
That's right, he's now the only person who knows for sure who Bruce Wayne is. If I kill him - no one will know...
But soon, such murderous intention disappeared.
uncertain.
If the Joker or the Riddler knew Batman's true identity but never revealed it just because they wanted to play with Batman instead of Bruce, then wouldn't he be deceiving himself by killing Bane to silence him now?
And, more importantly.
Chen Tao narrowed his eyes.
To kill people and silence them?
This is inevitable...
You look down on me too much!
The so-called slippery slope theory is nothing more than a fallacy. Murdering clowns will never turn me into an uncontrollable, murderous lunatic.
if……
If one day, I plan to kill Bain...
If one day I decide to commit such a murder...
That must be because of Bain's evil deeds - and it is definitely not cowardice and conspiracy to silence him.
And besides...I'm going to retire.
Leave him to the gods on earth to have a headache.
So Chen Tao said:
"I could have killed you, Bane."
His eyes lingered on all the silent Arkhamites.
He said:
"I……"
He lifted Bain up from the ground, and the muscular man vomited out a mouthful of black dirty blood, like a corpse. Immediately, green sprouts grew out of the mouthful of blood, and then withered in just a few seconds.
Chen Tao saw the light surging in Bain's eyes... those flickering laws that were completely different from normal human society, Bain's own rules, Bain's world... and sadness.
Those unfortunate childhoods, the twisted life in the cage, the blood, the sound of the blade piercing the flesh.
I have heard it all, I have seen it all - the look that I have had with you for thousands of years.
Then Bain's eyes finally softened a little.
Your life is full of pain, and you have never had a happy day...but these are not the reasons for you to be so twisted and crazy...not the reasons for you to do evil.
You're still a bad person.
But, so, so, I will make my decision.
"Bane."
"I could have killed you. But death would only silence your grief and end your pain... therefore."
Chen Tao lifted his body high, and then fell sharply.
"I will only break your damn back!"
Click!
Chen Tao threw the limp Bain to the ground.
This should stop Bane for a while.
By the time he recovers, Chen Tao will have already found Superman to save the entire Gotham on his behalf.
By then, Bain will immediately be able to enjoy the super high efficiency of being captured just three seconds after leaving the cage, and there will never be a chance to expose his true identity.
Chen Tao turned his attention to the silver-white font in front of him.
[Batman No. 52, your danger level is: F]
[You have met the protection requirements corresponding to the risk level]
[Batman of the same level as you is now ready to be loaded. 】
[Look for the Batmobile to complete the Dark Multiverse Batman "Batmobile" loadout! 】
Loading... is no longer synchronized?
Chen Tao does not plan to start studying the agreement now as if no one else is around.
He called Alfred.
"I am going home."
He said.
The sky is dim.
The first rays of dawn illuminated Arkham Asylum, which was almost in ruins.
The claws began to work in an orderly manner.
They helped up the Arkham villains lying on the floor in the corridor, who were so badly injured by Bane that they couldn't even stand up.
Then they were all put into a nearby cell that was still functioning intact.
This act of burning bridges caused many villains to curse loudly, but Chen Tao turned a deaf ear.
What else? And take them all back to the Batcave?
Chen Tao knew very well that his previous combination of electric shock, fire and mental control could only temporarily convince them.
In essence, these people are a group of veritable scum. After all, there are only a few villains like Mr. Freeze who have a wife, a conscience, and a bottom line, and most of them——
Like Dr. Pigface and Mr. Zass.
These people can definitely be called bad, with sores on their heads and pus on their feet, and dark and twisted souls. Such people can only be used temporarily, and Chen Tao has no intention of continuing to cooperate with them.
There are also pyromaniacs like Firefly who are so unstable that the best place for them to stay is in a mental hospital taking medication for treatment.
The Talons repaired the walls and cleaned up the garbage. With the repairs of dozens or hundreds of super masons whose physical abilities far exceeded those of humans, Arkham Asylum was quickly restored to a usable level.
Chen Tao took the Thomas couple and the clown who was lying on the ground unable to resist, and returned to the Batcave with everyone.
In the Batcave, facing the three biggest gangsters in Gotham, he methodically arranged the gang situation in Gotham in the next few weeks.
"You are not allowed to touch the trading ports, and you are not allowed to touch the manufacturing industry. I ask you to rely on smuggling activities for a period of time."
Chen Tao said: "I know that as gang bosses, you are just the spokesmen elected by the forces behind the scenes and must speak for their interests, but in the past few weeks, I have asked you to stop. If you don't listen... …”
Chen Tao glanced at Freeze Man, who immediately cooperated and pulled the bolt of the Freeze Gun.
Several claws walked up to Mr. Freeze.
Anyway, as long as there is no trouble, it will be fine for a while.
Next, he will go to Metropolis in person to find Clark Kent. After finding him, the daily life of gangsters will be to be caught in the police station three seconds after committing a crime.
Never have that trouble again.
After sending away Penguin and the others, Talon brought over the Waynes.
Following behind were Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
"Batman, these are your biological parents." Harley Quinn said happily: "Dear parents, this is your Batman. Have you seen him before?"
Thomas Wayne tilted his head, and then the head fell off his neck with a grunt, but the zombie actually caught his brain with quick eyes and hands, and then held it in his hand.
"vomit!"
Martha Wayne vomited a circle of green plants on the ground.
"Um, Batman." Poison Ivy came over hesitantly: "I planted some grass on your parents so that I can control them."
"In order to facilitate control, Ivy adjusted them to be voice-controlled." Harley walked over excitedly. She picked up a tape recorder from nowhere, and then pressed the play button directly on the two zombies.
As the dynamic music played, the Waynes just danced with her on the spot. The two zombies tossed their heads back and forth to each other, and then crawled around on the ground like two spiders.
Poison Ivy was so frightened that she quickly waved her hand to stop this hellish scene. She wiped the cold sweat from her head, threw aside Harley Quinn, who was tightly bound and wriggling on the ground like a caterpillar, and said:
"Ah haha - in short, you can send them back to the cemetery now. I guarantee that as long as there is no interference from outside forces, they will not transform into corpses again."
Poison Ivy said carefully, taking care of Batman's filial piety as much as possible:
"I will use the power of the green of all things to destroy the decay in their bodies..."
"It's such a waste to put it in the tomb." Chen Tao said, "I think this is good."
Poison Ivy felt her brain freeze for a moment.
Chen Tao walked over and pressed the recorder again.
The two zombies started dancing again.
"What is the principle of this?" Chen Tao looked at the two zombies attentively: "Can you study it?"
The two zombies are still dancing.
"It is compatible with the power of the blackness of decay and the greenness of all things at the same time. This is definitely a milestone and a very important sample."
Chen Tao said: "Get it to study. Submit me a report on the fusion of the black of decay and the green of all things."
He saw that Poison Ivy looked unresponsive.
"Did you hear me?"
"Ah...Okay." Poison Ivy left in a daze, taking Harley with her.
Chen Tao sat alone in front of the Bat Computer, quietly enjoying the tranquility.
Everything has been arranged. Anyway, the villains are temporarily settled in this sub-base Batcave. Next, he only needs to go to Metropolis...
"Master Bruce, we have also captured the clown who invaded the Batcave."
Alfred walked over from the side and showed Chen Tao a tablet. The clown on it was trapped in many traps and actually broke many of them with his bare hands.
Chen Tao looked at it for a while and then said:
"Except for those who seek death, let's call the new clown a martial artist."
"Clown No. 33, codename: Martial Arts Master."
"Yes." Alfred answered him: "Both clowns have been properly imprisoned."
Chen Tao nodded.
Then they were relatively silent again.
"Master Bruce, this time, we can really..."
"Yes, I'm retiring." Chen Tao said, and then he saw the surprise in Alfred's eyes.
He smiled back.
"We'll leave for Metropolis tomorrow."
Chen Tao said: "I will find an heir and then my superhero career will be over."
"It's time for me to rest."
"That's it for Batman," he said.
Chen Tao stared at the clown on the tablet, with the corners of his mouth raised high in a twisted laugh.
"The Batman legend has come to an end," he said slowly.
Tears flowed from Alfred's dry eye sockets.
He choked up a little.
"good."
He said.
"good."
Then he heard his Bruce say to him, "Oh, right, now one more thing. I want to see the Batmobile now."
They walked to the garage, and Chen Tao stared at the silver-white font on his retina.
[Dear Batman No. 52, you have found the Batmobile. The Dark Multiverse Batman "Batmobile" is now loadable. 】
[Do you want to load it immediately? 】
…
…
…
"I still don't understand why you want to take the train, you can obviously-"
"Flying too fast, Mom."
Clark Kent sat in the window seat of the train, thinking quietly.
"I want to take some time - I need to take some time to think."
"You've spent years thinking about this, Clark."
"I know, Mom. But this time it's different—this time—it's real."
"I love you no matter what, Clark."
Clark Kent stepped off the train and saw the grass growing and the orioles flying, the bustling metropolis reflected in his pupils, and the dove of peace brought the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
"Me too, Mom."
Metropolis, here I come.
…
…
…
Gotham, in an abandoned factory.
Several gang leaders sat together for a meeting, but it was more like a quarrel than a meeting.
"Fart, you didn't convene the meeting? Who convened it?"
"I thought it was you guys from the East District."
"You have already surrendered to the Penguins, I thought you were going to convince us to join..."
"Surrender? Penguin won't let us do anything!" One of them slapped the table and said, "We're not allowed to do any business!"
"That's enough. Did you ask us to come to the meeting?"
"No, I thought it was Qiqi——"
"not me."
"Whatever, I'm leaving."
One of them stood up: "You idiots want to stay -"
"Sit down, Freddie."
At this time, all the gangsters heard a voice coming from the darkness: "I called the meeting."
"You can call me... Red Hood."
…
…
…
Black Zero was driving slowly in the vast space.
"General Zod, you have committed murder and treason..."
"The Council of Elders sentences you and your accomplices to physical imprisonment and 300 years of exile. Any last words?"
"...You are all a bunch of idiots, all of you!"
"I will definitely come back! Take back what you took from us! I will definitely find him-"
General Zod opened his eyes.
The roar he once had was still lingering in his ears.
Her female adjutant Fiora came over and told him: "We have found a weak signal, General."
…
…
…
Chen Tao got out of the luxury car and looked up at the iconic golden globe on top of the building in front of him, with a banner hanging on it.
"A warm welcome to Mr. Bruce Wayne for visiting the Daily Planet!"
White, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet, led Lois Lane and a large group of reporters to greet him at the door.
"welcome!"
He smiled and extended his hand to Chen Tao: "Dear Mr. Wayne, welcome to the Metropolis!"
But the other party didn't shake his hand.
He only heard Bruce Wayne say: "Not bad, Alfred, watch it!"
Then the next second, he saw the old butler with a mustache standing behind him carrying a box and walking up to him. He opened the box in front of him, took out a wad of banknotes and put it on his hand. hands.
