Chapter Ninety-Eight: It's Time to Go
This day should be enough for Gotham to record a day in the history of the city, because on this day, the man who stood at the apex of Gotham and was the symbol of Gotham's greatest fear, Batman, handed over his copyright to a comic book company called Consortium B, and from then on, this Consortium B company will become the only person in the world who legally adapts and creates the image of Batman, and the derivatives of the Batman series developed by businessmen with ulterior motives before will be labeled as piracy.
No one knows this Gotham symbol of fear better than the Gotham citizens, and if the Gotham citizens say that he is Batman, no matter how witty the publishers are, they can't change the fact that they are infringing, and the only thing they can do is to clear a series of Batman peripherals before Consortium B sends the lawyer's letter to their company. For the citizens of Gotham, a comic book authorized by Batman himself will certainly adapt a story that many locals already know, but it will also give them a glimpse into the story of the Dark Knight.
Who is he, why did he become Batman, and why did he never kill the Joker, whether Gotham made him or he guarded Gotham. These mysteries that shroud Batman will be revealed from multiple perspectives in the first comic book published by Consortium B, Gotham and the Bat. That's right, the Batman played by Dick just showed up and left, typical Batman style, you just need to know that I gave the copyright to Consortium B, and you can ask Consortium B for the rest, I don't bother to answer you.
As the current boss of consortium B, Ke Wen also skillfully came to power, and with the help of this wave of Batman's craze, he played a new comic trailer, as soon as he heard the name, the citizens of Gotham knew that there was something in this new comic, after all, how could Batman not talk about Gotham, the two complemented each other.
"So, does your company reveal Batman's identity in the comics under a pseudonym, and have you ever talked to Batman with his mask off······" Looking at Ke Wen who was talking eloquently on stage, the media workers below were also enthusiastic, today's press conference was really a continuous reversal, originally thought it was just a campaign for Wayne Enterprises to give the consortium B Comics.
But I didn't expect this comic company to come up and drop three bombs, Superman told from the perspective of Supergirl, or a Superman with the same profession as them, the fastest man in the world, the Flash, the kindest superhero, and the most important thing is the brain of the Justice League, Gotham Dark Knight Batman. With the establishment of the Justice League to continue to protect the earth from various evil forces, this alliance of the world's strongest superheroes, the performance of everyone in it is seen by the world.
For the members of the Justice League, they have long had an accurate understanding, Superman: The Heart of the Justice League, Batman: The Brain of the Justice League, Wonder Woman: The Balance of the Justice League, The Flash: The Conscience of the Justice League, Green Lantern: The Representative of the Spirit of the Justice League, Aquaman: A Man Who Can Talk to Fish, The King of Another Branch of Humanity. Well, they have to admit that they don't know enough about Aquaman, after all, Aquaman's highlight was when Atlantis, a human under the sea, declared war on humans on land.
Holding a trident in his hand to set off a monstrous wave, and the performance of countless sea creatures following behind him was indeed amazing, but the world was still in a state of surprise and rejection of Atlantis, a legendary civilization, and naturally did not give too much good impression. It was also in the past two years that Aquaman began to make Atlantis underwater civilization contact with land civilization, which made the world slowly change, but the idea of talking to fish cannot be erased.
"Oh, I can't tell you about Batman's true identity, and in the same way, in the comics, we won't describe the reason why Batman became Batman in the form of a pseudonym, this is his protection, the greatest respect for these superheroes who protect our world, we focus on why Batman does these things, and will tell you from multiple perspectives, believe me, maybe then you will understand how much Batman has paid for the city."
The humble and arrogant answer did not make these media workers give up their questioning, but they were enthusiastic, not because of anything else, but because the city they are in at the moment is called Gotham, and they are talking about Batman, the darkest of superheroes. At the same time, people also see the background of this comic book company that was only a little famous before, there are already two giants in the Justice League who have handed over the copyright to them to create, plus a supergirl who is not inferior to Superman, in time, will the entire copyright of the Justice League be collected under it? And through the popularity of these world's most powerful superheroes, the development prospects of consortium B are conceivable.
Thinking of this, the heads of several world-class entertainment companies also understand one thing, for a period of time after that, the linkage between superheroes and film and television animation works that exist in reality will become a trend, and in this trend, whoever has the most popular superhero copyright will become the leading boss, and now, consortium B is ahead of them, what they have to do is to reach a strategic cooperation with consortium B as soon as possible, and use the channels they have mastered to reformulate the rules of the entertainment industry.
But that's all for later, and now, escorted by bodyguards, Curvin crosses these enthusiastic media workers and gets into his special car, the Zetron, while Kara, the Flash played by Wally, also leaves Gotham City.
The Settron with the camouflage function is speeding down the street with Curvin, and the driver is his own Drive equipped with AI Batman, and the AI Batman is controlling the Drive to fasten to the steering wheel, and a middle-aged man is also projected as a disguise in the center of the display page. Sitting in the back seat, Kewen took a tablet with the Batman logo, clicked on it, and dialed the communication.
"Gotham and the Bat? Your ability to come up with this name is still as bad as ever. The communication is connected, and back in the Batcave, Dick looks at Curvin on the other end of the video screen, and can't help but mock the name of the first Batman comic.
"Please, this is called a clear title, okay, I can't call it "Batman: The First Year", then it will become the story of Batman alone, Gotham is also the reason for the birth of Batman, I will definitely write Gotham into it, but if you can come today, it means that everyone else agrees to join in the writing of Batman's story?"
"Well, Alfred said that all the stories about Batman have to be read by them after they have been adapted before they can be released."
"Yes, after all, you are the closest people to Batman, and only you can portray a multifaceted Batman and Gotham." Cowen didn't feel wrong with Dick's request, and what could be more true than the protagonist of the story telling the story himself.
"So what are you going to do next? Starting a PR campaign? ”
"No, someone is already in charge of this, Lena can play better than all of us in this regard, I'm rushing to the airport now, I have to go back to my motherland, Carla and The Flash's publications are okay to say, after all, they are all on the bright side, but Batman, I think we need to negotiate with the department in charge of this aspect of my home country, and see how to make Batman on the shelves in my home country, at the same time, there are some businesses that need to be talked to them, things that are beneficial to my motherland, rest assured, it will not harm any interests here, even if it is operated, maybe the world's first and second economies will have a great honeymoon period. ”
"You sound like a politician," Dick quipped on the other end.
"Ha, I'm definitely a bad politician if I want to be a politician, because I won't compromise on anything wrong, and being a politician, sometimes you need to take a detour, I can't play, at most I'm an idealist, it's just that I'm an idealist with a bit of capital, trying to turn the ideal into reality, okay, I'll leave it to you to watch, although the Illuminati has not moved at all during this time, but this way I'm even more weak, especially at this critical moment, when the guy called Moyashi contacts you, you should also pay more attention, Although he is on our side, he always pits his teammates with a bad taste, you be careful. ”
Before Dick could wonder why Curwen knew so much about the habits of the Arrows, Curwen turned off the comms. And the Zetron piloted by AI Batman also came to Gotham International Airport, through the energy of Wayne Enterprises, at this time there was only his own special plane in the airport, and the rest of the flights were controlled by air traffic, and Zatana, who was dressed in an OL suit, also leaned on the gangway, holding her hands on her chest and looking at Curvin who came out of the Zetron.
"You're quite sensible, you know that you called me on a business trip." Throwing Kewen's passport over, Zatana also teased.
"The problem is that if I don't call you, you will come with you, this distance is not difficult for you, a genius magician, it is better to take you back to my motherland to have a look, and feel the grandeur of the next great country with a cultural history of 5,000 years."
"Sounds good, but just you and me?" Raising her eyebrows, Zatana also said curiously.
"No, there's Lena and a team of lawyers, but they're already waiting for us in the magic capital, so let's go."
Ignoring Zatana's expression of wanting to speak, after Kewen confirmed that his passport was fine, he also got on the plane, and after getting up, his mind moved, and the Seterrand parked behind the special plane returned to his system space with AI Batman, sitting by the window, looking at the fast-moving scenery outside, and clenching his hands.
"You look like you're getting excited?" Zatana also noticed Kewen's state at this time and couldn't help but say.
"Of course, there's nothing more exciting than a wanderer coming home."
Said with a smile to Zatana, looking at the smaller and smaller buildings below, Kewen's mood couldn't help but surge, without a portal, a sound channel, and returning to his homeland as a wanderer, this process is a kind of enjoyment.
