I'm the villain in Gotham

Although the Harry Circus originated from Gotham, it is very famous throughout the United States and often tours the country.This time they returned to the old place Gotham, and the performance they brought was also very gorgeous and eye-catching.

The applause in the auditorium almost never stopped, and the children who were brought to watch by their parents had already slapped their palms red.From the clown who is full of witty words and makes people laugh constantly, the mighty strongman who performed many magical events, to the clever elephant who can understand all kinds of commands, all kinds of performances are presented in front of the audience. It's dizzying.

The performance seemed to have just started for a while, and it was already coming to an end.After the animal trainer took the elephant Eleanor off the stage, the host of the announcement walked onto the stage and passionately introduced the finale performance to the audience - "Flying Grayson!"

Hearing the name of this famous and high-profile trapeze artist, the audience cheered.Lotkea pursed his lips quietly, and looked up at the mast platform high in the sky for people to climb and stand on.

Three figures were standing there, waving their hands in response to the enthusiastic calls of the audience.

"Maybe some viewers who are familiar with us want to ask," the host continued to mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience: "Flying Grayson seems to have an additional member today? Yes, this immature face is the youngest member of the Grayson family ,Today is also his first performance on stage, let us welcome him!"

"Wow--!"

Applause and whistle sounded again, and the entire stage went dark, leaving only a bright light on the platform where the Grayson family stood.

"Baby," John and Mary turned their heads and smiled at their son before the performance began, "Let's start first, and then you will perform." Mary stroked Dick's hair: "Don't worry, don't worry Afraid, we are waiting for you in front, okay?"

Dick nodded heavily: "Yeah!"

After getting their son's answer, the Graysons finally turned around, reached out and grabbed the crossbar connecting the rope, and smiled at each other.

Then they jumped down together.

In the audience area shrouded in shadows and darkness, a figure stood there quietly. Seeing the Graysons jumping down from the platform, a cold smile appeared on their lips: "Hmph, Harry Circus...you are finished."

Standing on the platform, Dick watched his parents skillfully perform all kinds of wonderful and difficult movements, and couldn't help applauding quietly.

Dick was not worried even if he was performing at a height of 20 meters without protective measures. The number of performances of "Flying Grayson" is more than a hundred. Both John and Mary have considerable experience in dealing with all kinds of unexpected accidents. You can dance with the birds that strayed in by mistake, making the audience think that this is one of the items of the performance.

But accidents always happen in unexpected places.

No one noticed that a small gap was quietly opened in the rope used for performance in an inconspicuous place, and it became bigger and bigger with the swaying and force during the performance. Finally, when the Graysons were about to complete the Their last move, when throwing the bar to Dick—

The rope finally couldn't bear the weight of the two people, and suddenly broke under Dick's gaze!

"Do not--!!!"

Dick screamed in horror and watched his parents fall from the sky.

At this time, a black rope came first and shot out from the sky above the stage, tightly wrapped around the waists of the Graysons, pulling them firmly in the air, avoiding the tragedy of colliding with the ground, and then slowly Slowly descend, and slowly put the two people on the ground.

At this time, all the lights in the venue were turned on, and the stage and auditorium were as bright as day under the lights. A black figure leaped down from mid-air, and the cloak spread its bat-like sharp wings in the air.

The moment he saw that figure, Dick suddenly understood who saved his parents, raised his arms and cheered loudly: "Batman!"

When seeing this character who should not have appeared here, the audience thought it was one of the performances, and cheered and applauded for the ingenuity and audacity of the circus.

It wasn't until they saw the man in Batman's suit kick a strong man who was trying to escape and beat him violently on the ground that they realized that this guy who appeared in the circus seemed to be ...in person?

Realizing this, the audience fell silent for a moment, and then the cheers grew louder.

"Damn it, this ticket is worth it!"

"It's worth it! This ticket is so fucking worth it!!"

After a riot, the murderer who tried to murder the Graysons was tied up with a bat rope after being beaten half to death by Batman, and the Graysons and Dick were surrounded by the circus crowd.The siren also rang soon. Hearing that Batman appeared here, Director Gordon drove to the circus with his people, and asked the police to evacuate the audience who were trying to watch Batman, and took the criminal away for interrogation. Batman asks what's going on.

"Why are you here?"

"Accident," Batman said in a deep voice, turning his head to look at the little boy surrounded by the circus crowd, who was almost invisible: "The criminal's intention should be the entire Harry Circus, let your people focus on investigating him and the circus." Gang connection."

"It's already being investigated, this is a routine process." Gordon sighed: "Damn it, we have maintained Gotham together for so many years, but there are still gangsters making trouble everywhere, they are like endless rats, It’s bound to the city no matter what.”

"Don't be too pessimistic, Jim." While Gordon was feeling, Bruce and Lotkaia came over.Bruce said with a smile: "At least the law and order in Gotham is much better now than before, thanks to you."

Bruce was comforting Gordon, but from Lotkaia's point of view, Gordon probably didn't hear what he said.

The moment he saw Bruce, Gordon's eyes went straight.He looked at Bruce, then back at Batman, then pushed his eyes, then at Bruce, then at Batman.

Finally, Gordon: "..."

He let out a drawn-out, emotionless, unsure of what to say "Oh—"

Lotkea held back her laughter and asked as if she didn't know anything: "Jim? What's wrong with you?"

"Uh, uh...nothing."

It didn't take long for the police investigation report on the incident to come out.The criminal didn't make much resistance, Batman's violent beating had frightened him out of his wits, and before the police asked a few words, he told everything like pouring beans himself.

The reason for everything is that when Maroney's gangsters came to collect protection money, the head of Harry's circus refused to pay, so in order to retaliate and make an example of others, they sent Tony Zuko—— It was the criminal who quietly poured strong acid on the rope used by the Graysons to perform, and wanted to make the golden sign of the circus "Flying Grayson" disappear.

After listening to the cause and effect, Dick wanted to rush out angrily to find someone to settle accounts, but was held down by one hand.

He turned his head and saw Batman's face hidden under the mask. Even through a layer of white goggles, he could feel the disapproval in Batman's eyes. "Don't be too impulsive," he said in a deep voice, "The consequences of impulsiveness will hurt you and all those who love you."

Dick froze for a moment.

After saying this, Batman raised his Batgun to the shadows above, and left immediately.

Gordon was still explaining the matter to the police officers, and when he was about to talk to Batman, he turned around and found that the man had long since disappeared.

Gordon: "..."

He covered his forehead, and he didn't know how many times he sighed because his old friend turned his head away.

After letting go, Gordon was about to complain to another old friend Bruce, and then found that his eyes had been lingering on the little boy who almost lost his parents.Gordon was silent for a moment, then reached out and patted Bruce on the shoulder: "Think of your parents? It's okay, at least they are living well now. You didn't lose your parents, and neither did that little boy."

After finishing speaking, he paused, took out his pipe, and lit it with a match: "Actually, what you just said is right, everything is getting better—and it will get better in the future."

While the police were taking notes for their parents, and other adults from the circus were also surrounding them, Dick withdrew from the comfort and love, and sighed in disappointment for not being able to say a few more words to the hero tone.

Suddenly, he noticed something dark flickering out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head to look and found that the irregular hem of the cloak peeped out of the shadow at the height of the mast when the owner was not paying attention, and gently swayed with the wind. .

This realization made Dick excited immediately—it turned out that he hadn't left yet!

Batman sat on a high place, as if looking down at the whole circus, but in fact he didn't seem to see anything.

According to the process of historical development, he rescued Dick's parents at this time point, and captured Tony Zuko, confirming that his early intervention would not put Dick's parents in danger again in the future.

Watching the kid—his kid, smiling amidst the crowd, Batman's original thoughts were no longer sure.In this new timeline, maybe he no longer needs these children as his Robin, his assistant, he no longer needs these children to leave their warm families and risk their lives to save this crisis-ridden city .

Batman was thinking and fighting fiercely in his heart.

So much so that it was too late when he found the little figure climbing up the ladder behind him. "Hey, Mr. Batman." Dick rubbed the back of his head, a little shyly, but also a little excitedly said: "I, um, thank you very much, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I... anyway, thank you, you saved My family."

Batman watched him silently.

After a while, he asked, "What are you thinking now?"

"Huh?" Dick was stunned for a moment: "I was thinking that luckily you were here..."

"No, not this," Batman denied. "What do you think about it?"

"..." Dick was silent for a moment.After a while, he said slowly: "If I have to say something, I am very...angry now. Not only because my parents were almost killed, but also because those who don't take human life seriously, they need to be taught a lesson , Justice needs to be done. I..." He looked at Batman, his blue eyes full of admiration: "I want to be like you, do what should be done."

Those words silenced Batman again.He looked at Dick's expression and eyes, carefully paying close attention to every detail, as if he wanted to determine whether his belief was strong, or as if he was having a heated debate with himself in his heart, thinking about it again, what would he do? Do you want to drag his son into the quagmire.

It's been a long time.

Batman stood up and held out his hand to Dick. "I need an assistant."
