Chapter 319: Metal Man

"I've done a lot of wrong things."

Lex Luthor, president of the Metropolitan Met and president of the Lex Enterprises, said this to every household in the United States on a television screen.

"But I've done everything I can to prove myself, and I'm sure most people have forgiven me. For those who haven't, I can only try my best to make sure to do better to fight for it. "But for most of you who will believe in me, I must start by saying, 'Thank you so much for your support.'" Without you, I would not be standing here today, ready to give everything to this country and to you as President of the United States. I promise you that the world will change, starting today, right now."

Louise Lane turned her back impatiently to the row of televisions in the lobby of the Daily Planet newspaper, and the obnoxious face of the bald head hung from the ceiling of several televisions, and even listening to his voice around her made Louise uncomfortable.

"Louise, investigate the Starry Lab incident," Boss Perry shouted from the door of his office, his voice loud and loud across the room.

"Yes, yes." Louise said, "I'm already investigating. ”

"As soon as possible, I'm going to have the inside scoop on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow, which is why I'm sending my best reporter to follow up on it." The boss closed the door as he spoke, and finally did not forget to say, "Don't let me down." ”

Louise was so busy sorting through the mess of papers on her desk that she didn't even have time to catch her breath.

"Hi Miss Lane"

Louise took time out of her busy schedule to glance at a blonde girl in an energetic T-shirt and jeans standing at her desk.

"What's the matter, Kara?" Louise continued to be busy, asking, "You can see that I'm busy right now, if nothing special."

Louise knew the girl. Kara Zo Eyre, and Louise's super boyfriend are from the same family. To be precise, Kara is Clark's cousin, but because she was stranded by some accident during her cosmic journey to Earth, when her little cousin grew up to be Superman, it still looks like she was only a teenager who came to Earth.

So as strange as it may seem, Kara is indeed Superman's cousin.

And through Kara, Louise is also amazed by the learning ability of Kryptonian brains. With Superman's help, Carla was able to learn English in just one day, and now she would never believe that it took her a day to learn English fluently with any native resident.

"It's about the Star Labs incident." "I was there. ”

Louise stopped what she was doing and looked up. She hadn't been given a chance to go to the scene to find out about the specifics, so she didn't know that Supergirl was there at the time.

"It's a person." Kara frowned and said, "I'm not sure what's going on. But the man's skin seemed to be made entirely of metal, and his heart was a kryptonite—very large kryptonite. I was defenseless."

"Metal Man?" Louise was surprised.

"Who?" Kara asked, confused.

Louise sat down in her office chair, removed the screensaver from her computer, and quickly retrieved the file. Soon, a picture of the guy with the heart of Kryptonite that Kara had encountered appeared on the screen.

"The Metal Man is a monster created by Lex Luthor a long time ago. It's easy to tell from his kryptonite heart as an energy source that he was designed to deal with Superman. "But in the early days, metal men also started as a human. His original name was John Coben, a thief who did something like petty theft, and he was a Gotham. ”

"Gotham?" The moment Kara heard the name of the place, she looked slightly surprised.

"Yes, the city you came to Earth." Louise Road.

"Last night at Starry Sky Labs, I heard metal men shouting things like 'where is my body?'" "Maybe he's looking for his former human body?" ”

"Chances are, as far as I know, the metal man has long regretted that he was not a ghost, and blamed Superman for what happened to him," Louise said, her hands tapping quickly on the keyboard, "The experiments on the metal man's transformation should have been conducted in the Star Laboratory, so a complete file about him was established there." I'll see if I can retrieve the information from our newspaper's internal database! John Coben's body was buried in Gotham Cemetery five years ago, and maybe that's where he was going. Now we're together"

Louise stopped abruptly at this point.

Because when she turned around, the Kara people were gone.

Gotham.

The city of Arkham was officially shut down.

Three full days have passed since that night, and no one has reported seeing any trace of the Joker. The news that the Joker is dead has spread throughout the city. The Joker's fanatical fans rioted en masse, and many people who felt lost their lives and lost their direction because of his death also ran into the streets, causing chaos.

So when you stand on a high place and look down at the city, you always have this feeling - this city is crazy.

Not only Batman and his family, but every vigilante left in Gotham is extremely busy, like firefighters who are fighting fires all over the city.

But if the Joker is really dead, it's worth it. Because as long as he has experienced the last madness he brought to the city, he may be able to say goodbye to this madman forever in the future.

A three-person team of Winged Knights, Batgirl, and Black Bat is also scattered around the city to carry out "firefighting" operations. After getting out of trouble, Roy jumps into his Batmobile, where the time is "1:00".

"The commotion on 42nd Street has settled." Roy said via communication, "I'll go to the next place in Ryker Heights right now. ”

"Roger." Barbara said as she fought fiercely, "What a long night, huh?" ”

Roy was noncommittal.

Just before he was about to leave, there was a sound in the night sky not far from him, like the sky being torn apart. His eyes seemed to catch an invisible ripple exploding in mid-air in the night sky, and a black dot like a bullet flashed and fell towards the outskirts of Gotham. (To be continued.) )
