For a long time since he met Bruce, Schiller thought that Bruce wanted to be Batman because he saw bats flying over the gloomy attic on the night of his parents' deaths, and the fear that remained in his heart at that time led him to think that bats were the embodiment of fear, and when he became a bat, he was able to bring fear to the criminals of Gotham.

But when Bruce graduated, Schiller found that there weren't so many twists and turns, and it wasn't because bats had any special connotations - Bruce just liked bats.

It was only after that that Schiller learned that Bruce had actually wanted to keep bats in Wayne Manor, but Aver disagreed, in addition to the fact that this thing might carry germs, but also because their excrement was too difficult to clean, which was something that few Aver would refuse Bruce.

After having the inner world, Bruce finally fulfilled his dream of raising bats, after all, the buildings here are made of magic, have self-cleaning functions, and no one here is afraid of bat germs.

And because magicians often have to boil potions and draw magic circles, bats can be called traditional breeding animals in the wizarding world, with quite mature artificially selected varieties, as well as very stable breeding methods and practitioners, so Bruce funded the reconstruction of the Forgotten Bar, and the Night Master helped him find a group of night elves from the wizarding world Maia to help him raise bats.

Perhaps because of some special disturbances, all of Gotham's naturally occurring urban animals are a little bit more sophisticated in terms of magic.

After creating a two-story magical spider spirit, a demonized stray cat with eight tails, a stray dog that transforms into a werewolf king on a full moon night, and a demonized sparrow demon with a wingspan of twenty-two meters, Schiller and the other magicians agree that Batman's move to raise bats is forward-looking and practical.

Of course, bats in the ordinary people's perception are not able to send letters, on the one hand, because they really cannot be trained to gain a sense of space and distance like carrier pigeons, and on the other hand, their body size is not suitable for carrying heavy objects, and they do not have the stamina of pigeons, but these shortcomings are not a problem in the face of magic.

Although the bats bred in the wizarding world were used to extract alchemy and alchemy materials, as long as the wingspan and bone structure were slightly adjusted, they could carry out the work of sending letters, but in order to make the admission letter less monotonous and old-fashioned, Bruce, the largest sponsor in the whole world, carried a lot of private goods in it.

First of all, the letter paper is printed with a bat pattern, the envelope is a variation of the classic bat logo, the fire paint pattern used to seal the envelope is a combination of the bat and the Wayne family crest, and the letter is accompanied by a keychain-sized bat doll made of rabbit fur, soft and fluffy.

Bruce had sampled about four versions of the bat doll, and in order to observe the effect of the fire paint seal, he also customized some badges with the same pattern as the seal, in addition to bat stickers, bat flashlights, bat spray guns, bat cookies, bat candy, and even bat oil cans, bat gas canisters and other chemicals.

In short, Bruce tried all the production lines that Wayne Group had, and made a lot of bat peripherals, Thomas was very confused but helpless, no matter what, playing with bat peripherals is better than being a bat peripheral, right?

But soon, Thomas discovered that the positive impact of this incident did not stop there, and suddenly one day, Mayor Roy approached him and hoped that the Wayne Group could establish a special cultural and entertainment industry department to connect with the city government to commercialize all the bat peripherals, especially for the upcoming music festival.

As we all know, the city of Gotham first appeared in the public eye with a positive image, and it was because of the small popularity of Clark's photos of Batman, it is not surprising that people naturally associate Gotham with bats.

And because Gordon borrowed the original Batman bat light as the traffic light of the center turntable, and these police officers obviously did not have the technical strength to change the pattern of the bat light, so far, the traffic light of the center turntable will still project a red or green bat pattern into the sky when it is turned on.

The vast majority of tourists who come to Gotham no matter which attraction they want to go to, will pass through the central turntable, for the magical bat pattern, the first person to see is puzzled, the second person to see is curious, the third person is to check in and take pictures, and wait until the tenth and hundredth, this magical bat pattern has been made up into dozens of bizarre story versions, and has become one of the classic attractions that Gotham tourism must come to.

Although the online media is not very developed in this era, a variety of web pages have been developed relatively well, coupled with the word of mouth of tourists who come here, the bat has gradually become the representative animal of Gotham, and even the image of the city.

Ordinary people in Gotham don't have any opinions on this, Gotham does have a lot of bats that will hula fly by the window at night, and few people usually pay attention to these animals, but since those outsiders like it, it's not that it can't be an attraction.

With the guidance of the locals, many visitors find the perfect spot to see the bat colony, and in the evening a large number of wild bats will fly from the outskirts of the West End all the way to the North End, passing by the Gotham Cathedral on the way, the dark night, the old church, and the swarms of bats that create a gothic atmosphere that is fascinating to shoot from any angle.

Mayor Roy is more receptive to this situation than ordinary people, and even very happy about it, many city tourism signs often take ten years or even decades to create, and many of the signs that now seem to be classics have been scolded ugly when they were first built, such as the most classic "Hollywood" on the hillside.

Surprisingly, people are very receptive to bats, which are not very good as a symbol of Gotham, Roy hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, first made a few fake bat lights and placed them in the center of the turntable, and launched a gorgeous light show at night, attracting a group of tourists to the roof of the building next to it.

Immediately afterward, he teamed up with the animal science major at Gotham University to create a bat bait that would allow wild bats outside the city to perform a flight show along his planned route, and then set up different viewpoints inside the city to divert visitors.

The second is to add the image of the bat to the final promotion of the festival to deepen people's understanding of the bat as a symbol of Gotham.

After that, there is only one last step left, which is how to drive all industries to transform the virtual fame of the bat image into a real bat economy, and the simplest and easiest step to achieve is to sell bat goods.

Whether it is the stalls on the streets near the central roundabout, or the rooftops of the buildings around the various viewpoints and attractions, there are already Gotham citizens who have set up stalls, but Gotham has never done a tourist business before, and many people have no idea what to sell more profitable.

Either the things sold are strange, no one buys them at all, for example, there are gangsters who set up stalls to sell guns on the spot, and tourists don't want to buy them, the key is that Gotham is expensive, and the price of guns is not cheap, Gotham sells not small pistols, but large firearms, people are here to travel and not kidnapped, how can there be such a high budget to buy a submachine gun back?

Most of the people who don't sell this dangerous goods are selling food and drink, but there are only a few local snack practices, and the stalls on a street do not exceed three practices at a glance, most of them are more profitable who drives in front, and the same snacks in the back, and tourists don't need to eat a second time.

Now that Gotham's stall economy is in a state of busy, chaotic and unprofitable economy, it is easy to dampen the enthusiasm of the local people and gangsters for tourism, and the city government must find a shot in the arm to make everyone realize that tourism can be profitable, and it is more profitable than before.

Roy would have thought about the bat peripherals, but he still relied on Gordon's blessing, and Gordon entrusted Jack the Clown's blessing, as mentioned before, Bruce made several versions of the bat doll in order to create a bat doll that was suitable for the image and size.

When the final version was finalized, the previous proofed version was useless, so he gave his friends one by one, and Jack the Clown got the largest bat doll with a wingspan of two meters, which is magnificent.

When Gordon once went to Jack's house, he saw this big doll at a glance, and he thought it was quite interesting, so he took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to Roy, Roy was overjoyed, and asked Gordon whose general this was on the spot, and finally found out that this thing was produced by Wayne Group.

Roy held Thomas's hand with tears in his eyes when he found him, praising his foresight and business acumen, and it took Thomas a long time to figure out that the mess that Bruce had piled up in the warehouse could be sold, and what was even more amazing was that someone actually bought it.

And the fact is that not only some people buy, but also sell very well, after all, the price expectation of this kind of thing around is not the same as food and drink, ten yuan to buy a snack may be expensive for some people, but ten yuan to buy a beautiful city souvenir to take home, everyone will feel that it is too worthwhile.

After getting Bruce's authorization, the Twelve Family Factory produced bat fridge magnets, bat T-shirts, Batmobile stickers, bat ornaments, and even bat doll bouquets, which were then distributed to various attractions for sale.

Then, all the gangsters were surprised to find that this thing is more profitable than selling powder, and the cost of almost all plastic or metal products is very low, and the more it is produced, the lower the cost, even if it can't be sold, it will not be bad if it is placed in the warehouse, and it will be sold next year.

A plain white shirt sells for a few dollars, which is expensive even in Gotham, but as long as you print a slightly more complex special pattern to become a souvenir of the city, you can sell it for more than ten dollars.

In the early 90s, the American economy was on the upswing, employment was quite sufficient, there were many holidays, everyone had money in their hands, and they were willing to spend money when traveling.

As a result, the festival has not yet begun, and tourists who arrive early to travel around Gotham have already brought a lot of income to all levels of Gotham.

This made the people of all walks of life in Gotham, especially the Twelve Gang Families, fully realize that what age are they still working hard to engage in traditional robbery? Isn't it faster to engage in tourism and sell the surrounding area to grab tourists' money than to rob a bank?
