Nightwing thought he was blinded.
He blinked. Batman's face still had the same solemn expression as it had in the past.
"I'm really blinded..."
This was the first thought in Yeyi's mind after he got up from the ground with his buzzing head in his arms. Then he immediately thought subconsciously:
"God, if I jumped up and fell headfirst because I was so surprised, that would probably be up for funniest death of the year."
Nightwing stood up from the ground.
He heard Deathstroke sneer. Normally, this level of ridicule would not shake his mind at all, but at this time, the place was full of other villains. In full view of everyone, how will they arrange him?
"Oh, you are Nightwing, the one who almost jumped up and fell to death when he saw the clown."
Gan!
Yeyi forcibly controlled his thoughts, not to let them get into such a social death scene.
Batman is seen dragging the Joker.
"hahahahahahahaha!"
Nightwing was glad that the laughter came from the Joker. Even though he was wearing a straitjacket and being dragged along the ground like a dog by a collar, he still burst into hysterical laughter.
"Oh, little bat, what kind of wind is it that makes you take me out of the love nest you built for me?"
"Ah, let me guess, now I...ah no, the situation we are facing is - ah hoo, ah hoo, hahahahaha!"
"You want to ask me for help?"
This is so normal, totally Joker-esque. Among a lot of horror villains who say "Batman is my good friend", even a perverted murderer like the Joker seems to have become more friendly. At least he is still as crazy and evil as before.
Nightwing thought silently. After a brief moment, he had roughly guessed the current situation.
After "cooperating" with Batman for so many years, Dick thinks he knows Batman better than anyone else. Let's put it this way, as soon as Batman sticks his butt, he knows that Batman is going to...
Well, all in all, Batman has never been a pedantic person. Over the years, Batman has not cooperated with villains under the premise of facing greater crises.
Deathstroke, Mr. Freeze, the Man-Faced Bat...
This time, the crisis he faced was just a little bit bigger, so the villains Batman found to cooperate with him were also a little bit more.
Is this a thing? obviously.
totally not!
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Nightwing heard another burst of hysterical laughter, and he continued to think:
But how exactly can clowns help us? Ever since Jason died, Bats haven't always been...
Yeyi's thinking suddenly stopped.
etc.
He raised his head and saw Batman squatting in front of the Joker, grinning under his mask, and letting out a burst of laughter that was even more authentic than the Joker's.
The Joker stopped laughing and stared at Batman coldly.
Nightwing was dumbfounded, and he looked at Batman blankly.
Chen Tao stopped smiling, stood up, and said, "Aren't you crazy?"
"you……"
Before the Joker could finish speaking, he was hit in the face with a heavy punch from Batman. The punch directly broke the bridge of his nose, causing his pointed nose to bend to the side like a broken straw.
"I don't plan to cooperate with you, Joker." The Joker heard Batman's cold voice. He didn't know how the other person with a body temperature of 37 degrees could say such cold words: "I just plan to use you, scum."
He said without looking back: "Bain, give me your hand and help me hold this guy, okay? I'm a little sick."
The clown's eyes widened. He saw Bane walking out of the crowd and pulled his reins obediently.
The opponent still looks like a strong man with a hood and a cold face. If you ignore the fact that he is following Batman's orders at this time, he must look very intimidating.
Nightwing watched numbly as Bane took away the clown who was still yelling in a Robin manner, and then slapped the opponent twice with great force - the ancestral Robin style of violent law enforcement.
"You actually hit me! Only Batman can hit me! Only Batman can hit me!" the clown screamed:
"Oh, you're dead, you're absolutely dead!"
Bain led him around the Batcomputer and walked into the small room next to him. Beside him, zombie Black followed step by step.
Nightwing knew that small room. It was shabby and old, covered with cobwebs. It was hot in summer and cold in winter. It only had a small, shabby and old bed and a small table.
That was his room, or rather his former room, where he had lived for a while - even though the Batcave wasn't the one underneath Wayne Manor, it was still one of the largest sub-bases in Gotham City. one. In his childhood, he often slept one night in this base after his night patrol.
But now, this place seems to have been transformed into some kind of prison by Batman, and Nightwing is sure that his little bed is no longer in it.
Before the weird emotions could ferment in Robin who was preparing to feel nostalgic, a sudden noise attracted his attention again.
Nightwing saw the ventriloquist in a maid outfit following him. The other party's appearance was too magical. Just as Nightwing was about to say something, he felt a pair of hands on his shoulders. He turned his head, and the person in front of him was Alfred wearing a candle hood.
He leaned down and whispered in Yeyi's ear:
"Master Yeyi, please come here and let me briefly explain the situation..."
Nightwing was a little surprised: "Ah...one penny? You..." He wanted to say something else, but Alfred dragged him away.
The villains stopped paying attention to him and began to gather towards Batman.
The Batman who felt familiar yet strange to Nightwing began to speak.
"Dear scumbags, I have brought you the pardon issued by the President of the United States, as long as you are willing to do it for the sake of the earth..."
Nightwing, who was pulled into the corner, heard Batman say on the stage:
"We must protect our planet. In the face of the righteousness of the planet, all problems are no longer problems..."
Alfred whispered to him: "Bruce...Something has changed in Bruce. I don't know how to tell you, Master Dick. But all in all, he is Bruce, our Bruce."
"What are you talking about?" Nightwing also answered him in a low voice. His voice was slightly sharp because it was too low: "Are you crazy, Alfred?"
Alfred was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "You don't understand, Master Bruce is retiring. This is the final journey."
"I don't see him retiring at all," Dick said. "And I don't think Bruce can retire. Heck, you got me involved. I don't think he is Bruce."
His voice became slightly serious: "At least the Batman in front of me is not the Bruce I know. Tell me, what happened?"
He asked:
"Is the bat being mind-controlled? Someone has taken over his body? What do I need to do?"
As he spoke, he quietly tapped his body with his fingers to tap out the internal password of the Bat Family:
"If you're being coerced, just blink twice in a row."
"No, I was not coerced by anyone, Master Dick. And it's not that Bruce was possessed by someone, but Bruce took his body back. The never-tiring Batman is no longer here, let Bruce rest, it's over. Brainiac, he can rest!"
"So, help Bruce, Master Dick, help him defeat this last enemy, please."
Nightwing frowned: "Alfred, to be honest, I didn't understand the situation."
His eyes fell on Batman Bruce Wayne, who seemed to be giving a pre-battle speech to the villains.
Deathstroke asked him for more money, and he kindly asked the other party how much more money he needed.
Deathstroke held out five fingers. Nightwing knew that the other party was asking for 5 million, which was just the starting price. The other party would soon increase the price little by little during the task.
He knows Deathstroke and what the other side is up to. Don't think that asking Deathstroke to kill someone for only 2 million means he is really a bargain.
Then he heard Batman say, "What? 50 million?"
"agreed!"
Looking at the dumbfounded death knell, Nightwing couldn't help but be speechless.
He listened to Batman explaining the situation for a while, and then said: "Is that the alien collector named Brainiac? Don't worry, I will definitely help -"
Batman is still giving a speech:
"...We are going to have a final decisive battle in the Slaughter Swamp, pull Brainiac out of his biological shell, remove his turtle shell, and let him face the horror and reality of the earth!"
"Superman, I, Wonder Woman, will fight side by side with you. As long as the war begins, there will be no distinction between north and south..."
"...Brainiac is a villain with telepathic abilities. In order to prevent him from controlling one of us, we specially created a potion specifically targeting Blake's telepathic abilities..."
The ventriloquist in a maid costume walked among the many villains carrying rows of small pink pills. He walked next to Nightwing and motioned for the other party to take one from the tray as well.
Yeyi didn't want to take it, but the other party insisted, so he was forced to take one and hold it in his hand.
He turned to Alfred and said in a low voice: "Alfred, you always think that Bruce will retire. Don't you think that..."
Batman chattered on stage:
"...Villains, as soon as you realize that you are about to be mentally controlled, I suggest you take this pill immediately. It can help you maintain the clarity of your thinking and not be harassed by telepathy..."
"Our dead good friend Black will help us maintain our knowledge of Braniac's psychic abilities..."
"This is a defensive medicine jointly produced by the government and Batman. Take it with confidence. It will not have any side effects..."
"Just in case you need it! We know a lot more about Brainiac than you do..."
"This kind of pill is very precious, you should take it first..."
boom! ! ! !
Halfway through Chen Tao's words, an earth-shaking loud noise suddenly exploded in everyone's ears.
It was obviously not a crowd cry at all.
Chen Tao, who had been working hard to mobilize the morale of everyone just now, suddenly felt his heart sink. He quickly opened the communicator on his arm armor and received the message as expected.
…
…
…
In the vast starry sky, Brainiac is carefully looking at the city in his hand. This is something he has repeated countless times. When he comes to a new planet, he first takes in the most prosperous city on the planet. Then, if appropriate, give the planet an extinction package to ensure that the city in your hand will become a unique one in the universe.
Of course, it will also collect many animals on the planet and raise them all in the city. Then it will eliminate some useless parts of civilization, such as repetitive laborers and low-end workers. They killed them all, leaving only some of the more important characters in this civilization, such as scientists or leaders. After processing, they hung these cities on their spacecraft according to their positions in the starry sky.
And his throne is in the center.
This is the experience he has accumulated over the years. By killing all the useless characters, he can prolong the existence of the entire race in his spaceship, prevent these races from inevitably falling into corruption due to their inferior genes, and then Turning them into a useless race, thus forcing him to clean them up.
He's been doing this for years.
But this time, he did not do what he often did before, but placed the entire city securely in the center of his spacecraft.
He connected to the communication channel of the entire planet. Those communicators made by humans were like paper in front of him, and they were hacked by him without the slightest ability to resist.
He appears in the picture.
"People of Earth, I am Brainiac."
Metal tentacles snaked around his body, connecting his biological shell and his body.
He said:
"After experiencing the previous invasion by General Zod, I hope you have had the experience of being invaded and know what I want to do. I hope you have seen in your backward news media that Metropolis was invaded by me. The news that was put into the pocket also discovered that the metropolis had become a white land at this time.
Please don't panic, you are lucky, this planet is special, and I will not bring destruction to you like I did in the past. I have a more important goal than you. "
Brainiac crossed his arms: "Batman."
"I can let go of this planet for him, as long as you give it to me."
"Nothing will happen. I will leave here, and you can continue your lives. If you feel that letting this planet go is not enough, then I will add one more. If you are willing to hand over Batman to me, I will We can even return the Metropolis to you, but if you refuse..."
Brainiac adjusted a posture, but in an instant it became a more intimidating posture. This was the result of simulation by its artificial intelligence, which can mobilize the fear of the people on earth to the greatest extent.
He knew he had gone from a friendly negotiator to a terrifying threat in an instant.
This change in identity is more likely to arouse the fear of creatures like Earthlings, Brainiac assessed carefully.
Before attacking the earth, he planned to make Batman a loner. He had studied the reasons why General Zod's threat failed. His technology was far superior to General Zod. It was impossible for Batman to invade his channel this time. .
But the next second, he heard someone talking behind him.
"You don't have to ask for it, I'm here in person."
Everyone, I’m back from py trading again! (Covering butt with satisfaction)
