Dressed in a superhero shell to save the world [Comprehensive British and American]

This should be the busiest area in Gotham.

High-rise buildings are like rolling hills, together with viaducts and asphalt roads, they form the steel and iron skeleton of a city.Under the gloomy sky, the dots of lights are like a flowing river of stars, rippling and drifting into the distance with the water waves surrounding the island.The moonlight was covered by thick clouds, replaced by bat lights, hanging high in the sky.

but.

This is not a place of peace.

Under the prosperity, there is an unmistakable rotten atmosphere.There were very few vehicles on the road, and the helicopter with searchlights hovered over the city, and the voice of the walkie-talkie reached my ears from time to time.There are almost no normal residents on the ground. Thugs and militiamen wandering around with weapons occupy the streets and alleys. The air is filled with the smell of thick smoke.It's strange, there is no ambulance, no fire alarm, no people's comments and reporters' reports. This is an empty city, like an old man dying, with the breath of death in every fold of his shriveled skin.

Everyone else withdrew.

A voice spoke in his mind.

What's left are either hopeless scum and condemned prisoners, or idealists trying to die with the worms.

I see.he thought.

Ah...sorry, I didn't generalize enough.

The voice spoke again.

Others are both, don't you, Bruce?

The second half of the sentence prolongs the voice, revealing a disgusting sticky feeling.

"clown".

Moses thought of the name.

"It's me! It's me!" After being called to reveal his identity, the clown immediately gave up his pretentious cover-up and laughed unscrupulously. He didn't have much patience at first, "God Bruce, what's going on? I Why is it in your head?"

"..." So annoying.I always feel that this scene has happened before, and this time the clown's heartbeat is very clear, as if he really exists.

But Moses didn't remember anything.

His memory is blank, and the only thing that can relieve his boredom is actually a psychopath.

The criminals below had no idea that Batman was squatting behind him on the roof of the building.They looked empty and lonely, and they could only rely on chatting to pass the time.

One of the burly men said, "I thought life would be better when the clown died."

"Yes," replied the companion, "I'd rather please the clown than face the scarecrow, and I'd get chills when I saw his face."

As soon as the scarecrow's code name appeared, it immediately attracted Moses' attention.

He realized that he should be in some little trouble caused by Dr. Crane, the scarecrow.Well, judging by the scale of the city's fall, this trouble is not small.

But why does he have no memory?

And, the clown... is dead?

He remembered some pictures again.

It was an incinerator.

Batman's old opponent, Arkham's number one lunatic, Joker, the source of evil who has taken countless lives, is lying in the flames with his eyes closed, with an exaggerated smile on his face.Yet his iniquity would end there, and the flames would take all and burn all that was visible to black ashes.At that time, no one will fear him, no one will remember him, and no one will die because of him. This will be the best ending that the clown does not want to face...

"what are you talking about?"

A familiar face suddenly approached the thoughtful Batman.

"Hahahaha, I'm here Bruce. Am I dead? I'm not dead, look at my arms and legs, they are as flexible as ever."

The clown took two steps on the top of the building, and showed a strange smile to the man who completely ignored him: "You just ignore me, little bat, it's really sad, we are old friends. What's more, now, if you don't die, I won't die." Will die, is there a greater relationship than this in the world? Of course not~"

Clown toxin.

Moses remembered another noun.

The Joker dies, but before he dies he injects his victims with a toxin that would turn anyone into a Joker.These people are already under control, except for Batman.That's right, he was poisoned. If he didn't deal with it, sooner or later this lunatic would be reborn with his body.

Clown: "What are you going to do now? You look lost and miserable, and it won't take you five years to look like old Gordon. But you don't have to live until then, right? Hahahaha don't Angry, I'm kidding, of course I want you to live longer, remember, if you live, I will live, aha!"

Commissioner Gordon.

And his daughter Barbara.

Moses remembered why he was standing here.Barbara Gordon is his assistant, the former Batgirl, but lost the ability to walk because of the clown's revenge.He remembered the scene he saw when he arrived. The girl was lying on the ground covered in blood, she was shot in the waist and was unconscious. On the wall, the clown left words in fluorescent green: "You drag your friends into our crazy game You should have known this would happen!"

Later, Barbara became a prophet with amazing perseverance and courage.She's still trying to help him, but he doesn't tell his other collaborator, Commissioner James Gordon, about it.If Jim knew... NO!stop!This is not something to think about right now!

- Think about what you are going to do.

The sharp pain in his head reminded him that he should not let himself be immersed in the memory of the past.

Moses knew he was going to find Barbara.The girl is now in the clock tower, and she is able to help him track down where the scarecrow drug was made.

The figure and voice of the clown disappeared behind him.

He figured he was late, but the communicator didn't ring.Barbara is not a careless person, and this small detail makes the dark knight suspicious, but when he arrives at the clock tower, he finds that the scene is completely different from what he expected.

Barbara and Tim, who shouldn't be here, are talking together.

**

Barbara: "Your hair! Turned into a board?"

Tim: "Stop, we can still be friends without this. What happened to your leg?"

"Probably a worse accident than changing your hair," Barbara said. "Don't look at me, you know I'm fine in real terms."

Robin nodded thoughtfully: "Alfred stayed in the Batcave, it seems that I was the only one who arrived. What about the others?"

"Dick is still in Bludhaven. Fortunately, when he first arrived in this universe, he had already gone half way. It seems that the original Nightwing heard about Gotham's movement and planned to come back to help. Jason didn't call me back for the time being, just Reported safety. Damian fell in a chemical plant, I asked him to wait there first and don’t worry, we will rush over to help him.”

"You think he'll agree?"

"Bruce taught him what to do in the face of an invincible foe."

Robin pointed out the key point: "And Batman, what about others?"

"...I don't know." Worry appeared on the Prophet's pretty face, "I can't get in touch with him at all. The bat light above GCPD is still on, what happened here?"

"Bruce said before that if the universe is regarded as a program, this coordinate represents a loophole that appeared at the beginning of its writing. If we want to prevent this loophole from continuing to affect the stability of our universe, we must find the root cause bug and try to fix it."

"I haven't fully understood the definition of 'wrong' yet. But according to my current observations, the difference in this city is that there is more 'Wayne' than the one we are familiar with."

"What?" Barbara's previous search focused on the recent major events in Gotham, and she didn't understand what Tim meant.

"Wayne here is a surname that cannot be separated from the history of Gotham." Tim said softly, "You may not know that a long time ago, Batman, Catwoman and Red Hood entered a fragment of a parallel universe together. Wayne is no outsider either."

"I've heard of it." Barbara said quickly, "I've learned about this matter, and your... part of your conjecture. But I don't think it has any evidence?"

"Indeed, maybe it's a conjecture that can never be proven." Tim walked to the computer and looked at the screen. On it were photos and reports of the clown's death collected by Barbara.His heart beat a little faster for the calm and shocking picture in the photo, but he restrained himself from imagining the consequences of the clown's death in the first place.

"However, I still think that our goal is related to Wayne or Batman. Besides, everyone has entered their own bodies in the parallel world, and their ages and times have changed, but Barbara here will not Arrival was able to stand up all of a sudden. So I thought, Batman was probably having trouble with that body, internal or external, and he wasn't able to respond to us."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the gaze behind him suddenly turned back.

The person they talked about had been standing there for an unknown amount of time.

Tim: "..."

Is it necessary to be so mysterious in front of your own family? !

"Bruce?" Barbara, who almost drew her gun, said immediately, "You're here! That's great, I'm still thinking..."

Robin put his hands on her shoulders and stopped the girl from continuing.

He looked at the silent man suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you, Bruce?"

Moses felt dizzy.

He decided to blame his intermittent headaches and blurred vision on the nagging clown who would appear by his side whenever he had time.Now this guy was walking around inside the clock tower, tsk-tut aloud recalling how he had pushed open Barbara's house with a present and shot her in the face.

In the continuous messy background sound, he stubbornly stared at Robin and said, "You shouldn't be here. Where's Alfred?"

"He's staying in the Batcave, I've made arrangements," Tim replied.

He has a serious expression, as if he is thinking about some complicated century-old problem.

"...and Barbara, I asked you where the scarecrow poison was produced, and you said you were ready."

"Yes." The Prophet replied, and her expression was not quite right, but Moses couldn't figure out why for the time being.Batman's vigilance is getting higher and higher, and his mood has gradually fallen into a blank indifference and coldness as the waiting time increases, his fingers have already pressed his belt——

"At the ACE factory," said the Prophet.

It's actually not the original Barbara's findings left behind, but Damian's landing spot.

Even if it is the same person, it will take some time to figure out the content that has been precisely encrypted by him, not to mention that Barbara had no idea what happened until half a minute ago.

But she had to speak.

Anyone can see that something is wrong with Batman.

The dark vigilante observed her for a while, but found nothing unusual.Tim broke the silence: "I'll go with you."

"can."

Tim gestured to Barbara behind his back: Leave it to me here.

Barbara nodded silently after Batman turned his head.

It is precisely because Bruce doesn't trust them now that he agrees to take Robin with him, which instead gives everyone a chance to figure out why.

Before leaving, Moses looked back at Barbara again.

The girl smiled and sat in the wheelchair to watch the two leave. Her blond hair was combed neatly, her clothes were neat, and she did not feel sorry for herself because of her disabled legs.

...which instead made his throat dry and difficult to breathe.

**

At this time in the ACE factory, Damian was hiding in the shadow of the building, while the Scarecrow's subordinates shouted in panic: "I saw it! I really saw it! That's Robin!"

"That can't be Robin, idiot! Robin isn't that small! When I find that kid who dares to tease me, I'm going to make him look good!"

"But he's wearing Robin's uniform! Shall we ask Boss what to do?"

Then the scarecrow's casual voice sounded in a leader's earphone: "Why don't you ask my partner... What do you think, Arkham Knight? Are you going to kill that ignorant brat who sneaked in?"

Damian made a disgusted expression.

Who would name themselves that?

Arkham?knight?

Don't you feel uncomfortable being together?

For a while, no one answered in the headset.

When the scarecrow was about to lose patience, a voice that had clearly passed through the voice changer said in a strangely calm tone, "Don't worry about him, he's a fake."

Damian holding the bug: "..."
