The night of Gotham is still deep and cold, countless screams of fighting and blood ripple in the city, brilliant neon lights like a fragile shell, whitewashed the cloak of civilization, and the cold spotlights sway in the sky.

Across the river, the brightly lit high-rises and the crowded and chaotic slums are far away, and when the soul-crushing drizzle falls, all the silhouettes collapse as if dissolved.

In the city wrapped in a thin line of rain, a bright light suddenly lit up, and the iconic bat motif became the only thing that did not flutter in the wind and rain.

The dark figure standing at the top of Gotham leaped down, and the terrifying figure was reflected in the mirror-like water of the street's puddles.

"Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-"

Shrill sirens sounded at the end of the street, the lights of the police cars looked very bright in the darkness, and Gordon led several officers to rush out, he pulled out the pistol at his waist, pointed the gun in both hands at the strange masked man in the bank.

"Black Mask! Put the gun down and put your hands up! ”

The robber, known as the Black Mask, was dressed in a black jacket and wore a black mask in the shape of a skull that covered his entire face, and was holding a pistol and yelling at the bank teller who was crouching on the ground with his head in his hands.

"Boss, there are at least 20 of them, and in addition to the bank staff, there are two ladies and three gentlemen who came here to withdraw money, and even a five-year-old girl, which is very difficult to handle."

Gordon turned his head and gave a serious look at the officer who was delivering the message, and then said to him, "Is the sniper in position?" ”

"It's been in place for a long time, but the place they picked is very unfavorable to our sniper operators, and they haven't found a good sniper position yet."

"Black Mask is much more cunning than other robbers, otherwise it would not have been possible to survive in Gotham to this day, don't worry, let the negotiator drag him first, the Batlight is on, and Batman will be there soon."

The officer was ordered to leave, and Gordon narrowed his eyes at the robbers inside, his face was heavy, but he didn't see much anger, more like he was trying to think of a countermeasure.

But the current scene is almost incomprehensible for the Gotham Police Department, the crime location chosen by Black Mask is an old-fashioned bank, located on the old street on the east side of Gotham City, where the buildings are generally low, there are no high-rise buildings, the windows of the old-fashioned buildings are small, and some have wide wooden window frames, and the snipers can't find a good sniper position.

Black Mask should have followed the parents with children all the way here, the hostages in their hands were too fragile for the police to dare to act rashly, and now the only one who can break this deadlock is probably Batman.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" came from the side of the stairs, and Gordon immediately perked up, Batman is here!

But after the sound of glass breaking, it was not the familiar black figure that appeared behind the black mask.

"Batman, you're finally ...... Who are you?! ”

"Uh, hello, is this a bank robbery?"

A somewhat childish-sounding voice came from the mouth of the unfamiliar figure, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Wow, man, the mask is so cool, where did you buy it?" I guess it's not Macy's, right? ”

"Also, you should know that it's wrong to rob a bank, right? By the way, those guys you arranged at the back door have been put down by me, don't look at me with that kind of look, I was just looking for someone to ask for directions. ”

The strange figure tiptoed back a few steps, opened his hand and said, "Put down the gun, how about we have a good talk about your mask, or are you going to pose and stand here silly until we both miss dinner time, and I can't get home?" ”

"Wherever you come from, get out of here!" Black Mask raised the gun in his hand and pointed it straight at the stranger's head.

"You're so rude, more rude than the golden weirdo who threw me two meters in the air, and besides, I'm not that weirdo......"

The stranger twisted his shoulders without nervousness, the murderous intent rising in the black mask's eyes, and the moment he pulled the trigger, time seemed to freeze.

A hand covered in battle clothes reached the side of his wrist with an extremely fast speed invisible to the naked eye, and the muzzle of the gun flashed in a flash of fire, and the wrist was turned in one direction along with the pistol.

"Bang!"

"Whoa!"

The bullet shattered the glass window next to it, and a strange scream rang out, followed by a chilling fist wind passing through Black Mask's ear.

"Bang!"

The black mask was directly picked up from the spot like a sandbag, and a hook knocked him to the ceiling, and the chandelier fell with a "bang", followed by another punch, which directly knocked the black mask into the opposite wall.

"I'm not a weirdo, I'm Spider-Man!"

Everyone present was stunned, no one could see Spider-Man's actions just now, in the eyes of ordinary people, Spider-Man twisted the muzzle of the gun like a teleportation, and then "Bang Bang" punched the black mask against the wall with two punches, and he couldn't pick it off.

Gordon was the first to react, shouting, "It's a super criminal!" Sniper ready! ”

"Hey, what? Didn't you see that I just beat up a bank robber? I'm not a criminal, I'm just a passerby who was unfortunately kidnapped here! ”

Spider-Man shouted in disbelief.

"Bang! Bang bang bang! ”

Suddenly, the subordinates brought by the black mask opened fire, and suddenly, bullets flew in the bank hall, shooting the counter, the countertop smashed into the table again, the landscape flower pot exploded with a "bang", and the chair flew directly out of the door.

Another series of actions so fast that ordinary people can't see clearly, Spider-Man perfectly dodges all the bullets and throws the hostages inside out of the bank hall door like punching bags.

Immediately afterwards, he did not stop, "Bang Bang Bang" knocked over all the criminals who had just shot with a few punches, and then rushed to the inside of the bank hall as fast as he could, and picked up a little girl who was still crying.

He carried the little girl to Gordon, then put it down and said, "You're the sheriff, aren't you?" She's handed it over to you, and I'll have to keep asking for directions, bye-bye. ”

After saying that, Spider-Man turned around and was about to leave, when Gordon stopped him and said, "Your name is Spider-Man, uh, can I understand that as a synonym for Robin?" ”

"What is Robin? I'm not a bird, I'm Spider-Man. ”

"Okay, new Robin, you've got a cool title, but where are you going to ask for directions? Can't you find Batman? ”

"Who is Batman? How can he copy my title? Besides, isn't it a bit too strange to use bats as representative animals? God, he can't get bitten by a bat?! ”

Spider-Man shuddered, his whole body trembled a little, as if he was doing a tap dance in place, and then he gestured a few times and said, "I just want to go back to my house, but I just saw it from the tall building, this is not New York at all, do you know where the nearest train station or airport is?" ”

"Where is New York?"

"God, you don't know New York? But it doesn't look like some backcountry, so how could anyone have never heard of New York? ”

"Listen, boy." Gordon stepped forward and pressed Spider-Man's shoulder and said, "Although I can't help you with the place you are looking for, but you did a good job today, go back and tell Batman that when I turned on the bat light today, the switch was a little worn, and if he had time, he would come and fix it." ”

"I ask again, who is Batman?"

"God, you don't know Batman?" Gordon glared at Spider-Man and said, "Which horn did you just come from?" And if you're not Robin, how could Batman let you fight crime in Gotham? ”

"You've said a bunch of weird things." Spider-Man shook his head in confusion, took a few steps back and said, "If you don't tell me the location of the train station or airport, I'll go and ask someone, I'll go first, bye." ”

With that, he stretched out an arm in the shocked gaze of everyone, fired a spider silk and stuck to the roof of the nearest building, and then leaped into the rain and disappeared at the end of the street.

Gordon's eyes widened as he looked in the direction he had disappeared, then he shook his head and muttered, "Another weirdo from nowhere, looks like I'm going to have to ask Batman." ”

After closing the case, Gordon returned the crying little girl to her parents, and then returned to the police station to write the report, when a dark shadow appeared silently behind him while he was sorting out the papers.

"Did you see how he did today?"

It was another question sentence with a familiar affirmative tone, and as soon as Gordon turned his head and saw Batman hidden in the shadows, he sighed, and before he could complain about Batman's elusiveness, he thought of the strange man he had just met who called himself Spider-Man.

"Batman, don't tell me you raised another Robin, and then he had a conflict with you, not admitting that he is Robin, and wants to go it alone and fight crime in the city alone?"

Gordon's tone was full of helplessness, and Batman was obviously silent for a moment, and said, "Why do you think he's Robin?" ”

"Judging by his size and voice, he is not very old, he is probably still in high school, and at the same time he wears a bright tights uniform, and he can't get along with criminals, and what better proof of his relationship with you than the title 'Spider-Man'?"

As Gordon sorted out his papers, he looked up at Batman from above his eyes, and the expression on his face was like to say, "You can fool others, but you can't fool me."

"He's not my Robin." Batman's voice was still low and slow, and he seemed more and more affirmative: "But there is potential." ”

"It's really strange that there are any righteous boys in this city who haven't heard of Batman?" Gordon shook his head, turned his head back, pulled out his chair and sat down as he wrote his report.

"Unless he's not from this city."

"It's possible." Gordon nodded, paused, and said, "I don't know where he got all that weird gear, I thought you were the only one who could make something like that." ”

"I'm curious, too."

"You want him to be your Robin?" Gordon put on his glasses, glanced back at Batman and said, "Aren't there enough members of the Bat family?" ”

Batman was silent for a moment, then said, "They've all been busy lately, and I need an assistant." ”

"He doesn't look like your little assistant, you should see how he does today, he's either very talented and powerful, or he has some superpowers, unlike the orphans you picked up before."

"But I can't let him roam the city freely." Batman's tone finally fluctuated slightly, and the usual seriousness was revealed in his tone.

"I'm not going to let a weirdo with unknown abilities and origins fight crime in this city, because he could turn into a destructive super-criminal at any moment."

Gordon flipped a page of the report and said, "You have a point, but I think you should respect this child's opinion." ”

"If he doesn't want to, I'll send him home and let him leave the city forever and never come back."

Gordon paused, he sighed lightly, looked out the window that was still raining at night, and said, "I hope he has no intention of this, and no one should sink with this city except us." ”
