American manga: Batman after graduating from the madhouse

There are only two situations in which you will come into contact with this file.

At best, the enemies I faced were far more powerful than I could personally handle, and this profile was read to better help you understand the threat they posed.

The worst-case scenario is that our former allies have gone astray, and if I hand this information over to you, it means our world may be in crisis.

The file presents my contingency plan: all the anatomy and physiology data I have collected on my transhuman specimens over the past few years, as well as my knowledge of the biochemical mechanisms and functions of these aliens, cyborg mutants, and augmented humans. Research theory.

To obtain this intelligence, I infiltrated classified government websites, hacked into numerous firewalls, and collected evidence from crime scenes around the world.

But so far, I've only scratched the surface.

This file will become one of our final plans.There are many sinister things in our world, and it would be foolish not to prepare for the worst.

While I hope we don't have to use these findings against our transhuman allies as documented in them, it would be a disaster if they got out of hand, whether subjectively or passively.

I hope you understand that the fate of humanity may ultimately depend on what we know about these super species and how we use that knowledge, which is why I have spent years compiling this dossier.

These successes were hard-earned, and my quest is far from over. Regardless, the information in this archive is of unparalleled value.

Maybe it will be shelved and no one cares about it, which is the result I am most happy to see.But past experience tells me that this expectation will most likely fail. I have a hunch that this may be our last line of defense. ——"Batman: Metahuman Research Archives"

Codename: Arkham Knight

Target’s original name: Jason Todd

Sex: Male

Height: 183cm

Jason Todd, whose mother died early (suspected) and whose father was in prison, has been wandering in Crime Alley since he was a child and making a living by stealing.When I first met him, he was single-handedly removing tires from the Batmobile parked in Crime Alley.

I saw talent and heroic potential in this kid, but I didn't see the hidden aggression in his character.

I decided to adopt Jason and raise him to become the next generation of Robin.

Jason showed completely different characteristics from Dick. His unfortunate childhood and experiences made Jason extremely rebellious.He is unruly, stubborn and irritable, and often goes against my will, but at the same time he has excellent talents, especially in fighting and hunting skills, showing strong learning ability.

During the events of The Return of the Joker (see Archives: Joker for details), I recklessly allowed the fledgling Jason to hunt down the Arkham fugitives on his own—one of the decisions I regret most in my life.

On Christmas Eve, Jason disappeared.It was later confirmed that he had been kidnapped by the Joker.

A year later, when we find him again, Jason Todd shoots the Joker and is subsequently asked to be sent to jail by angry citizens (it is initially suspected that the whole incident was planned by the Joker)

Two years later, Jason escaped from prison and massacred the entire criminal population of Arkham Asylum, calling himself the Arkham Knight.

In all honesty, I am extremely reluctant to classify Jason as a criminal, but his actions do pose a great threat to Gotham.

Unlike others, the Knight knows everything about me, from my style of conduct, my true identity, my secret base, and even the armor distribution habits on the Batsuit.

According to current signs and observations, the knight's mental state is extremely unstable. He seems to have great anger and malice towards Gotham. It is speculated that the cause is inseparable from the Joker.

After being brutally tortured by Gotham's craziest criminal for a year, when he was rescued, the soft tissues all over his body were severely bruised, many bones were broken by suspected crowbar blows, and there were many scars on his skin. Suffering from minor electric shock sequelae.

The Knight has showcased almost all of my skills so far.

In addition, he displayed an impressive array of superpowers, including strength, speed, agility, endurance, and endurance, and he could apparently equalize me in a head-on confrontation, and possibly even win outright.

If my theory is correct, his abilities may have come from the rehabilitation of a series of criminals in Arkham Asylum.

Too little, he left me too little preparation time. If I had one more week, my chances of winning would undoubtedly be greatly improved.

This meeting with him will undoubtedly be a huge challenge, and I am already prepared not to come back.

Now, no matter who you are, no matter what era you live in, if you see this file, I hope you will continue to work for justice.

Avoid unnecessary revenge, endless violence, and the false reputation of the so-called legend...Fight for Gotham, fight for the people, and fight for justice. (fight for justice)

.....................

Midnight over the streets of Crime Alley.

A black shadow passed by and landed silently on the floor.

"You came faster than I thought, Bruce." The Arkham Knight stood on the rooftop, playing with the gun in his hand. "It seems you really care about this kid." He pointed mockingly. Next to him was Tim, who was tied up tightly.

"Bring the coat of arms, and cute little Robin can come back to you."

"Where is the mayor?" "Boys go missing from the Gotham orphanage every month, Bruce. Our affable mayor has gone to stay with them."

Batman was silent. "Jason...I know you are angry with me..."

"I'm not angry with you, Bruce, not at all." Jason interrupted, "You're just a cog in this huge ridiculous machine, Bruce."

He walked to the rooftop and pointed at a drunk citizen on the street, "Look at these people, they don't understand what they want at all, what fairness, equality, human rights, democracy, all they want is selfish demands." It’s just about maximizing profits. I just need to fire a bunch of bullets at them, and they will go crazy for themselves.”

"It is precisely because of this crazy paradox of human nature hidden behind justice that only destruction can completely eliminate the human nature that is inherently intertwined with original sin in human life..."

"You're too extreme, Jason!"

"Don't call me Jason! Batman...call me...Arkham Knight."

The knight suddenly raised his voice, "You're just kidding yourself, Batman."

"You are no different from the criminals you arrested. A hero... a hero, after saving the world, you cannot escape the fate of being ostracized and isolated as a "freak";

Why are there so few mentally and physically normal superheroes?It is precisely because you are different from ordinary people that when the world is full of filth, sin and chaos, you can gain legitimacy for your lynching behavior.

But what people need is just heroes who draw their swords to help in times of crisis. When the crisis passes and life returns to normal, sooner or later the worship of heroes will turn into fear of power, and those heroic deeds in the past will also become declarations of potential threats in front of most people. "

"A joke...the justice you insist on is a joke, these are just jokes." Batman could even imagine the knight's sarcastic smile under the mask.

"This is not a joke, kid, this is a kind of persistence. To be honest, I don't know whether what I do is justice...but I know that sacrificing others is definitely not justice."

Batman's hand slowly reached to his waist...

"Looks like we have to fight today." As soon as he finished speaking, the Arkham Knight raised his gun and shot it cleanly.

Although he threatened Batman to exchange Tim for the crest, he didn't seem to care about it at this time.
