What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 376 Tim has retired, but Batman is still working overtime (the author is also working QwQ)

When Batman left, Alfred turned his head towards the dark corner of the Batcave and whispered: "Tim, Tim? Why didn't you come out in the end? Didn't you say before that you wanted Batman's permission in person? Have you returned to the front line of the battle?"

The old butler said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you wanted to take over Gotham temporarily in place of Dick (Nightwing) who was on an errand?"

Following the call of the old butler, the third generation Robin Tim Drake slowly turned out from behind the stairs with a complicated expression. As Robin, he perfectly inherited the fine tradition of the sudden appearance of the Bat family. If it weren't for Alfred De took the initiative to speak, but no one could have imagined that there was a big living person squatting in the shadow, especially when he was wearing the brightly colored Robin uniform that alternated between red and green.

But Tim knew that Batman must have seen through his position... When the other party left the Batcave, they were waiting for him to come out, but he did not move and allowed the other party to leave.

Facing the old butler's question, Tim walked to the side of the Batcomputer with some sadness, and then sat on Batman's chair.

"It's nothing Alfred, I just suddenly felt that there seems to be no problem with Batman's arrangement."

"Killer Crocodile is also an old man who has been around Gotham for many years. Although he did a lot of messy things in the past when he was not clear-headed, these have all gone away with the government's amnesty. Now Batman sends him back Gotham has to deal with ordinary criminals and gangs, and with Mr. Freeze and Penguin taking the initiative to maintain the balance of Gotham, I think unless the Joker or the Riddler comes back, Killer Croc is fully capable."

"How's Harvey (Two-Face) doing?" the old housekeeper asked casually.

"He was admitted to a mental hospital again. He is the most divided of all people. After Gotham has not been as chaotic as before for a long time, Harvey's kind personality seems to be recovering. Although he still always slaps himself for nothing. Options, but not as crazy as they used to be.”

This time, Batman was right in front of him, so why did Tim just calm down and not rush forward to try to fight Killer Croc for his life?

Tim could guess what the old butler was thinking without even looking at Alfred's expression. He was very grateful that the old butler didn't ask so bluntly, but instead left a certain amount of space for each other. Alfred has his own sense of distance. He is not the kind of controlling elder who will break the casserole and ask the truth no matter what his juniors do.

When the moment came when Jason died, I had never thought that death would actually come. This is the problem with teaming up with adults and believing for the rest of their lives that they have companions to watch over them and have nothing to fear.

But Tim still. He petitioned Batman tirelessly, and was even caught by Dick on several occasions secretly walking on the streets. Even Alfred stopped him from going to the streets to fight criminals against Batman's orders several times.

"I accepted Batman's warning. I have always approached this job with caution. I had... I had thought that Batman would always need me to keep him on a leash to prevent him from self-destruction."

"In order to get Bruce out of the Jason incident." Alfred said: "You are really good, Tim, for deducing the identities of Batman and Nightwing just by relying on Dick's action."

Alfred originally wanted to say that Killer Croc was a beast that could not communicate before, but now he was at least an adult with a normal IQ, but he quickly thought that in Tim's mind, Killer Croc was no different in front of him than in the past, so he kept silent Don't talk.

"Batman needs a Robin. Because Batman has been exposed to those dirty and dark things. Although he pretends to be a god, he is still a mortal after all. He will be tired, he will be desperate, no matter what he looks like How undefeatable it is, but we all know that it is just an illusion left to outsiders."

Until you feel careless, you feel safe, and the truth is once you make the smallest mistake, you will never be safe. '"

"but now……"

"Alfred, you should know how I became Robin."

"'You are different from Dick who firmly believes that he has chosen the right path in life...Dick regards being Robin as the meaning of his life, so when he finds another meaning, he will not hesitate to give up his identity as Robin ;

But for Jason, he saw Robin as a game, which was probably the cause of his death. Being Robin was never Jason's first choice, but rather a direction he took after others.

Tim's eyes were long:

But there was still a question in his mind. For a long time, Tim had been making noises about wanting to restart his Robin career, while Batman had been busy with other affairs. Even after several meetings, he categorically rejected it and asked him to go back to study hard. .

"Batman was right to assign me to Killer Croc as a consultant." Tim said somewhat gloomily: "Although I admit that Killer Croc has begun to have a little brain, I still think that brain is a level three mental retardation and a level one. The difference between being mentally retarded.”

"So for Killer Croc..."

Even when he is unemployed, Tim's understanding of Gotham is far deeper than that of Alfred, who has been staying in the Batcave. Robin, who has the strongest detective skills, has extraordinary meticulous thinking on many things.

And you, too, see being Robin as a job that requires you to wear a mask. It seems like you and Jason are similar to a certain extent in that way. Of course you will never admit this.

Tim smiled reluctantly:

Tim said: "This is the reason why I became Robin. I am determined to be the rope that ties Batman and prevents him from falling into the abyss. I will never deny that I am Jason's replacement, and Batman also needs such a person." Instead, Batman always had a self-destructive streak in him, so he needed Robin, he needed me."

"I still remember what Batman once said to me..."

Tim didn't bring it up, so Alfred kept silent. But Tim thought about it and took the initiative to say:

"Batman seems to have no intention of self-destruction anymore. Then the meaning of my existence... seems to be gone as well."

“Maybe it’s really time for me to retire,” he said.

……

……

……

"Batman has no intention of saving Planet Oa, Lord Sinestro."

Below, countless Yellow Lanterns are attacking Planet OA. This is already the tenth charge organized by the Yellow Lantern Corps in the past few days. Oa's defense is slowly being eroded by them, and it is only a matter of time before it is completely broken through.

At this time, Sinestro was listening to the report of one of his men, but there was no one around, and the voice came from his ring.

"Well done, Disproris," Sinestro said.

He called the other person's name.

Despotellis is one of the many Yellow Lanterns he recruits across the universe, and is probably the deadliest one because he is a virus, a living virus.

Disporis was born on the planet Khondra in sector 119 of the universe. Scientists here wanted to develop a new type of virus as a biological weapon. They continued to iterate the virus, and finally produced a super The virus Despotellis actually has feelings of its own. It began a killing spree on the planet Khondra, killing the entire planet's inhabitants. For this reason, a yellow light selected it.

"Are you sure Batman hasn't discovered you?" Sinestro asked: "His nanorobots can also enter the microscopic realm. I ask you to ensure that you are not discovered by his robots at all."

"Of course, Lord Sinestro." Super Virus Lantern replied respectfully:

"Han Nu's body is very big, enough for me to hide. When it comes to understanding the biological structure, neither he nor Batman know more about it than I do. They didn't realize that I was hiding in his body at all. In order to prevent it from appearing, Fault, I have never spread my virus to anyone, nor have I done anything unnecessary other than surveillance." "Batman does, as you might expect, think that saving Planet OA looks like a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain. , the two previous transfers of the OA star really scared Batman and made him worry about whether we were repeating our old tricks again."

The super virus said: "He fell into the paradox of moving the tiger away from the mountain and did not dare to leave the earth at all."

"This buys us time."

Sinestro lowered his head and saw on the battlefield below, Mongo broke the neck of a Green Lantern who was rushing toward him, as easily as breaking a stick. There are few Green Lanterns who are a match for Mongo.

Beside him, super girl Kara's eyes shot out red light, and the red light energy like bloody flames burst out from her body. She actually wore a yellow light ring on her left hand, with red and yellow colors in it. The alternating occurrences in her body made Supergirl's brain tremble.

The little girl jumped up irrationally, then pounced on an unlucky Lantern and opened her mouth to bite it, biting the other Green Lanterns until they cried like father and mother like a madwoman.

Mongo's power is a bit too strong. He has attracted a large number of Yellow Lanterns and has created a small mountain within the Sinestro Corps.

Sinestro looked at the other party, murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Sinestro knew the murderous intent and malice in Menggo's eyes when he saw him. This is why he kept Amonsu at the door of his wife's prison to protect his wife.

In this kind of thing, he even dared to trust people who were related to him by blood.

Although Sinestro knew that he could easily defeat every Yellow Lantern by controlling the opponent's Yellow Lantern ring, this control must be done face to face. He never wanted something to happen that he would regret for the rest of his life, and he never wanted Alinsu to become a threat to him.

He still needs Meng Ge's force for the time being, but as for what happens next... we'll talk about it later.

Not far away, Archilo, who had a long face and fangs, was the third person who performed brilliantly. He is an instructor of the Yellow Lantern Corps and grew up in the most dangerous jungle on the planet Kristil.

He is extremely strong and uses his power to dominate the planet's weaker races and feed on them.

Archilo was one of the first members to join the Sinestro Corps. To a certain extent, he was a small version of Mongo, who believed in the law of the jungle and always wanted to defeat the superior.

Sinestro knew that the other party was also not a fuel-efficient lamp. If Mongo hadn't been more dangerous, it would have been Aquilo who was trying to usurp power.

They are all a bunch of rebels... But Sinestro knows that this is the price of employing criminals. Now he has no chance to recruit some good subordinates with clean wealth and clean origins, so he can only do this.

When he has the chance, he must clean up the Sinestro Corps. In Sinestro's hope, his Yellow Lantern Corps is the police who need to replace the Green Lantern Corps to maintain the order of the universe, and the police obviously cannot be the ones he currently has. These villains recruited.

Therefore, for Sinestro, these people who are fighting below are just cannon fodder that can be consumed and replenished at any time, with no value at all, while Mongo and Archilo are enemies who need to be targeted at any time. When the order of the universe is truly maintained, The Sinestro Corps was born, and they were all targeted for liquidation.

But I still need some time, still need some time...

Sinestro thought.

As long as I deceive Batman into not daring to act rashly on Earth, I will have time...

Sinestro was lost in thought and shook his head slightly. He felt a little regretful after all.

In fact, for Sinestro, it would be more beneficial to him if Batman really listened to Han Nu and really went to save the Green Lanterns trapped on the planet Kovad.

He set a trap there and banished the entire incoming Green Lantern Corps to the Phantom Zone, a place where Kryptonians once banished criminals and almost a cemetery of no return.

As long as Batman is banished there, at least for a long time he won't have to worry about the other party interfering with what he is doing.

But it's a pity that Batman was not fooled. This was something that Sineste expected. In other words, if Batman really broke into his trap so recklessly, he would be surprised.

But now, even though Batman didn't actually step in foolishly, Senito's purpose of stalling for time was achieved.

As long as he has enough time...

"Bain..."

Earth.

"We are about to set off to meet the Criminal Syndicate, about the Black of Decay..."

Bane heard Batman's voice: "You are the true expert on the Blackness of Decay. I need your help again."

"We are about to leave the Earth. Things are very complicated this time, and we cannot make any small mistakes."

……

……

……

The War Fortress of Ceristo.

Meng Ge looked at the decaying black energy in front of him, with a malicious light shining in his eyes...

"I will have... new powers!"
