The next day, New York, Consortium B Comics. This comic company, which is backed by the large consortium of Wayne Enterprises and created the copyright comic of the same name for superheroes, has long become a landscape of the city. The frequent big events are the best publicity for this comic company, and the superheroes who are authorized to create the same name for this comic company show their own style in the big events.

So far, "Gotham: The Mystery of the Movie", which is licensed by Batman, is the best-selling personal comic book of Consortium B at home and abroad. Although the word Batman is not directly marked on the signature, the Mystery of Heroes series is more like a prequel around the birth of Batman, and it is precisely because of this that it arouses people's curiosity even more, the Justice League, for earthlings, has become a symbol.

The most powerful superhero organization in the world has always pursued justice, and Batman has a status no less than Superman in the Justice League. For most people in the outside world, they think that Batman has superpowers, can fly, stealth in the dark, and is powerful, and can emit ultrasound, and for insiders, Batman is the secret of Bruce Wayne, and they know a lot, and they know that this Dark Knight is just an ordinary person.

is such an ordinary person, but he occupies a place in the Justice League, and his voice is even more powerful. The mystery shrouded in Batman makes everyone want to understand why such a superhero as Batman was born through the Mystery of Heroes series, and the Mystery of Heroes series will also describe the changes of Gotham in the past 30 years from multiple perspectives, paintings, and create in combination with reality.

Because most of the audiences of Mystery are adults, they understand better that in this single series, under those multi-perspective descriptions, every villain in Gotham City is born for a reason, and put themselves in the same position, so that more people have a sense of empathy, and they are more curious about how Batman was born.

If Batman's eponymous series is a reality and has become the best-selling personal manga magazine at home and abroad, then the Kamen Rider series of comics of the same name represented by Ke Wen is a fairy tale for adults that spans several age groups. In terms of sales, there is quite a momentum to compete with Batman's comic of the same name, cool armor transformation, well-designed lines, combined with real events in a virtual city for secondary creation, originally during the release of the comic, many people were not optimistic about this comic of the same name.

Because of the transformation or something, the picture feels ashamed when you think about it, plus the design of the knight's armor, half black and half green? What a garbage aesthetic! It's something that only children can see! So, at the beginning, Kewen's Kamen Rider series was in a tepid stage, relying on the performance in the previous few major events, using popularity to maintain sales, after all, children still like these transformation things.

In addition, according to the development of some toys in the comics, you can still see the benefits there, and all of this has changed since the Black Night event. In that big event, the King of Demon Time and the Gate Yashi teamed up, with the help of the knight comics issued by Ke Wen's reliance on consortium B, and used this as a traction to summon those knights belonging to the knight universe and help Ke Wen expel the black light legions that fell on the earth.

The figures whose faces could not be seen clearly, the words that were directly imprinted in people's minds, and the sound of transformation were undoubtedly light for these people who were in the darkness at that time. And then many people found out, it turned out that in the comics, it looks like a bully of their own aesthetic shape, and the transformation, it's not so ugly, at first glance, it's not handsome.

Transverse Distortion of Aesthetics, (✔).

It was also through this major event that the capital of those entertainment empires re-examined this comic book company backed by Wayne Enterprises and licensed to superheroes, and also understood the potential contained in this company. In this era of capital-based and traffic king, these superheroes who save the world and live in the crowd are walking golden signboards, and consortium B has mastered the golden signs in the golden signboards.

Supergirl, Batman, The Flash, well, whether it's made into a movie or a TV series, or an animated movie, it's a lot of income, and just those who like superheroes are enough to make them a lot of money. But their benefits are a little not enough in front of Ke Wen, Kamen Rider, a major event that swept the world, let everyone know about the existence of Kamen Rider, those cool transformation belts, armor of equal proportions, and props for switching transformations.

These peripherals are all money, and compared to the development of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, it is obvious that the value of the goods that Kamen Rider can develop is greater, and the profits that can be collected are more. All of this has also made Kewen, the consortium B comics company, completely sweet, especially after cooperating with several major entertainment giants and setting the direction of development in the next ten years, the consortium B company has completely taken off.

The New Yorker never imagined that a comic book company would reach this level by various coincidences and reach cooperation with these giants without being divided by a few entertainment giants, which is too rare in this country of capital monopoly. At this time, in the office of the consortium B comics, the old man, who is the editor-in-chief, is also drawing his own sketches there, and at the age of 60, he can't see any old age at all.

On the drawing board, he carefully sketched the various images he had in mind, a red and blue figure wandered between the buildings in the early lights of New York, and on the road below, an insect monster riding a motorcycle, with red muscles, crimson compound eyes, and a pair of golden antennae. One up and down, chasing the vehicle in front of him.

Halfway through the painting, the old man suddenly said: "It's really rare to see you coming, you are really big enough for your own company." ”

"There's no way, I'm just a person in charge of paying money, I really want to learn management, I still have a long way to go, before that, it's most appropriate for you to manage." But then again, Spider-Man is with me, or from you, tsk, this is going to be auctioned, and a lot of people are rushing to collect it. ”

Behind this old man, Ke Wen's figure appeared silently, and then praised the old man's paintings there. He hasn't forgotten that the old man in front of him is, in a sense, a projection of the Marvel universe next door, and the predecessor of consortium B Comics is a comic book company in the DC universe stationed in the Marvel Universe.

"Nice compliment, it seems that the previous incident didn't have a big impact on you." Stopping writing, the old man took the coffee handed over by the text, and also commented on Ke Wen, who was a little lazy behind him.

"Well, it was a little uncomfortable to have my memory erased at first, but I still kind of recognize my identity as Kamen Rider, so it doesn't matter. You can say that, you must have been unaffected at the time. ”

"It's also a projection anyway, although the combat power is negligible, but as a projection of the universe, it still has some special functions. It's just like I said, I'm just a projection of the universe, and recording what I see is the only thing I can do, and I can't help you with anything else, so you can only carry it yourself. ”

Ke Wen didn't care about the old man's explanation, it was originally a game between himself and Dr. Manhattan, and it was up to him to win or lose. It's the same whether there is anyone to help, not to mention, the old man in front of him is not OAA, and he can't help much in the past, even Woz is in the end, giving Dick and them a prop, and the rest is still up to Dick and them to complete, if Dick they can't remember, even if the dial is good, there is no possibility of winning at that time.

Ke Wen has never been a guy who struggles with others in this regard, and he didn't come to the old man this time to discuss these things with him.

"Okay, I won't talk much about the past, old man, how is the company's operation recently, can you start the next step."

Lying down on the sofa in a comfortable position, Kewen was also concerned about the status of the company for which he was the boss, and he also remembered the terms of cooperation signed with those entertainment giants before Dr. Manhattan engaged him.

"Thanks to you, after this period of activity and wrong memories have been corrected, their enthusiasm for the film and television of our superhero IPs is quite high. It's just that you were busy during that time.,I didn't contact you.,What can call the shots,It's to temporarily hand over the animation production of the Flash to Disney.,In this regard,They're better at it.,The others haven't been decided yet.,By the way,And the one you care about the most.,Kamen Rider TV live-action.,Do you have any ideas.。 ”

In response to Ke Wen's inquiry, the old man was also talking about the operation of Consortium B during this time, as long as the world is not the end of the world, life has to be normal, and the bricks you should move are indispensable. So during this period of time, the operation of consortium B has also entered a stable rising period with several major events of Kewen and the linkage with the Justice League, and when the old man talked about the live-action of Kamen Rider TV, Kewen, who was originally lying there, also sat up and said with his eyes shining.

"I have a bold idea about this~"

Just when Corvin began to have time to follow up on the Kamen Rider film and television plan he wanted, Clark Kent, who chose to give up his identity as a superman, also returned to his own life. On a sunny morning, Clark woke up from his bed, and it wasn't the sound of his superhuman hearing that woke him up, but the alarm clock in his own home, and when he turned around, the alarm clock that woke him up was a pile of parts under Clark's hand.

"Honey?" Lying beside Clark was his wife, Louise Lane, whose husband had caused a stir in the early morning, and the hot mom asked with her sleepy eyes.

"It's okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable with the feeling, I thought I could handle it. You go back to sleep, I'll finish breakfast and go for a walk. ”

In response to his wife's inquiry, Clark also looked at the bracelet he wore on his wrist and said a word to his wife, and then got out of bed to prepare breakfast.

"Hmm~ I'll sleep a little longer, Kryptonite didn't weaken your physical strength, I'm tired, remember to send little Jonathan to Gotham, today is the day he goes to school with Helena."

Turning over and telling her husband, Louise continued to wander in her sleep. Clark also glanced at his wife with a doting smile, helped her cover the quilt, and then began to wash. In the bathroom, Clark looked at himself in the mirror, both familiar and unfamiliar, this was the first day of his life as a superman and becoming Clark Kent, just the first day, he felt uncomfortable in many places.

Through the mirror, Clark looked at himself at this time, and Batman had prepared himself enough kryptonite drug for a year to inhibit the activity of the cells in his body to absorb the yellow sunlight. And when Superman started taking this drug, his eyes also had a green part at the pupil, which was the situation of the Kryptonite drug circulating in his body, which meant that he was just a Kryptonian living in gravity levels lower than his home planet, not a human god under the light of the yellow sun.

The cells that have been completely weakened make themselves no longer cope with some trivial things in life as before, and need to be specially customized. Like now, he no longer needs to trim his beard with a custom-made Kryptonite razor. And his own back, well, the nail scratches left by his wife are still there.

"Well, it always feels weird, but it seems like it's as it should be. Son, Jonathan, it's time to get up and start the first day of your love run~"

Rubbing his chin and with some unexplained excitement, he walked to his son's room and woke up the sleeping little Jonathan. In terms of the ability to control himself, little Jonathan, who has the genes of the earth, is much more comfortable than him, he can either passively open or actively open, no need to practice at all, after breakfast, led little Jonathan, to the Lex Enterprise Building, in Lex's unhappy eyes and expression, Clark took little Jonathan to Gotham through the blast channel.

In the underground bat cave of Wayne Manor, Batman, who is also ready, no, should now be holding his baby daughter for Bruce Wayne, waiting for Clark there.

Then, under Bruce Wayne's heavy gaze and Clark's sunny smile, the two little ones also entered the school as Damian and Raven (raven) juniors.

"Damian," Bruce said to his son, looking at Jonathan's smiling face.

"Yes, father."

"I've heard from Alfred that you're very popular in school."

"Well, after all, my blood comes from you."

"Well, take good care of Helena, and little Jonathan."

"Gladly."

The two fathers and sons showed evil and crazy smiles at the same time, which made Clarke, who was listening on the sidelines, break out in a cold sweat, but he couldn't say anything at this time. He was comprehensively weakened by kryptonite, even if he has a physical fitness twenty times that surpasses that of humans, it doesn't seem to be enough for Batman to fight, after all, even Bane, who was drugged, has not been beaten by Batman until now, but then again, it seems that as Superman, he has never beaten Batman, so when I think about it, well, it doesn't seem to make any difference.

For this reason, Clark can only cast a self-begging look at his son, although little Jonathan does not see it.

The two fathers just stood at the school gate, watching their children enter the schoolyard and then froze there until Clark broke the ice himself.

"Let's find a place to have a drink."

"Yes."

Turning around, Bruce was about to signal Clark to get into the car, but Clark looked at the red Rolls-Royce and was silent for a while before saying, "Can we change to a more low-key way of traveling?" As he spoke, Clark also looked at the yellow taxi that was listening, ready to pick up passengers.

Gotham Harbor, the iceberg gambling ship, Clark and Bruce just sit on the deck and watch the scenery of Gotham, drinking a little wine. The two of them, the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight, both took off their robes at this time, and each looked at everything in the city with their truest identities. The sea breeze blows, and the long-lost sunlight shines on the perennially cloudy city buildings of Gotham, and the light reflected through the glass gives the city a coat.

"Phew, after the sunshine, Gotham has really changed, the security is much better, even if there is no Batman, and that tower, your project?"

"That guy taught me a lot, it wasn't me who saved Gotham this time, it was him, and the citizens of Gotham should also know who saved the city and saved them. He has endured more than anyone else in this incident, and I owe it to him. ”

As he sipped his wine, Bruce said as well.

"Looks like we've all gotten something out of him," Clarke looked at Bruce as he also drank his drink, "So, what are you going to do now, I've chosen to put down another identity and prepare for a new beginning, and how long are you going to wear this suit?" ”

"I know what you're worried about, Clark, I'd love to take off my suit, and I've had that idea after seeing Gotham start to have hope of being reborn. It's just not yet, not now. ”

"Because of what."

Looking at Bruce, Clark also asked, as a friend, he wanted Bruce Wayne to be freed from the curse of Batman more than anyone else. For the city, he has paid too much as Batman, if it weren't for Damien, Helena and Dick who were by Bruce's side, he was really afraid that his friend would fall, a completely dark Batman, the destructive power he could show was stronger than him, which was the result of his superbrain when he was Superman.

“··· Remember when you used Howl's ring to help me build my willpower and get me off the Möbius chair? ”

After a moment of silence, Bruce asked Clark rhetorically.

"I remember, what does that have to do with me asking you this question?"

"I asked the Möbius chair one last question as I got out of it."

“··· Clown? ”

Looking at Bruce's sudden silence, Clarke, who knew him and his knowledge, was silent for a while, and then said his guess. Bruce, who didn't answer in the affirmative, also made Clark realize that he was right.

"What does this have to do with the Joker, isn't he dead?"

"Yes, the Möbius chair answered me the same way, but its answer was different from yours."

"What?"

"The answer it gave me was that there were three clowns and one died..."

Bruce's answer made Clark frown, because he understood what a rival the Joker was to his friend. He adheres to a philosophy, and Bruce is not, in the face of such a guy, simple force cannot solve anything, kill a clown, the clown can use the same means to create another clown, another clown who is as crazy as himself, and even himself, in the first place, almost lost control because of what the clown did to his wife and children.

He swore that it was the first time he was really angry enough to kill someone, angry without any reason.

"Skip the topic, I've been looking for clues about the clown all this time, and I've found nothing. Still, how do you feel about a day as Clark Kent. ”

Just when Clark was worried about his friend, Bruce also asked himself rhetorically, concerned about his life as an ordinary person after completely weakening the activity of cells in his body to yellow sunlight. After a moment's pause, Clark also turned his head to look at the harbor, the sea breeze blew, blowing his little curls up, and Clark smiled.

"To be honest, it was quite uncomfortable in the morning. There is no need to cut your hair with a hot sight, you don't need to shave with a kryptonite razor, and the voices that have been echoing in your ears will no longer appear. I walked down the street and realized that in fact, Superman exists or not, everyone in the city lives the same life, it was like this before I came, after I didn't come, it was still like this, if I had to say anything different, I could only say that I made their lives better, I shortened the process, and at the same time, erased their efforts. ”

"Yes, the existence of Superman has made many things simpler, but the easier it is to obtain, the less people often know how to cherish it, so do you have any ideas now?"

Drinking the wine in the cup, Clark also looked at Bruce looking at him for a long time, and then said: "Is there a seat on the vacuum bullet train to the capital zone?" ”

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

The two old men laughed on the gambling boat that only they understand~
