"Mr. Policeman! Mr. Police! Over here! Over here! There are two hostages in the cellar here, don't be afraid, sir, ma'am, we are here to save you! ”

Standing at the mouth of the dark cellar, Spider-Man shouted at the two figures inside, and his spider sense did not call the police, indicating that the two people inside may indeed be innocent people who were kidnapped here by the Joker.

At his call, Gordon led the officers into the cellar and rescued a couple, Spider-Man watched the hostages being put in the ambulance, and Gordon stood beside him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hello, sheriff, we're meeting again."

"Now I can call you Robin, right?"

"Of course not, I'm Spider-Man, okay, whatever you want, but I want to ask what the criminal named Joker is about, is he the boss of the criminals in this city?"

"He's the most dangerous criminal in the city, Batman's nemesis." Gordon sighed, he was about to light a cigarette, then he looked back at Spider-Man, put the lighter back in his pocket and continued, "Only Batman can deal with the evil Joker." ”

Spider-Man blinked his spider compound eyes, and his body movements showed that he did not agree with this statement, at which point a dark shadow slipped from the sky above the theater, and Batman returned.

"Spider-Man, come back with me, I'm going to tell you something."

Batman turned around and left, he thought Spider-Man would follow, but Spider-Man still looked at Gordon, he scratched his head and said to Gordon, "Sheriff, do you have a list of supercriminals in this city?" I think I should know them a little bit more. ”

"You should find Batman for this." Gordon reached out and hammered Spider-Man on the shoulder and said, "Good job, boy, we'll see you next time." ”

After Gordon turned to leave, Spider-Man looked a little confused, and when he turned around and found that Batman was still waiting for him, he was a little surprised and said, "I thought you went back first." ”

"Come with me."

Batman didn't say much, just motioned for Spider-Man to follow him, Spider-Man could only follow Batman back to the Batcave with a stomach full of questions, as soon as he entered the Batcave, Spider-Man took off his mask and asked very puzzledly: "What the hell is going on?" Why do I think you're all weird? What the hell can't you say directly?"

Batman looked a little hesitant, but in the end he said, "Didn't your spider sense alert you to danger when you approached the Joker?" ”

Spider-Man scratched at his coop-like hair, thought about it for a moment, and said, "No, I don't feel any particular danger. ”

"Don't you feel the pain caused by the needles on your body?"

Spider-Man shook his head again, and Batman could only take him back to the physical examination room and perform a detailed scan before finding a tiny pinhole in an inconspicuous place above his right arm.

Spider-Man turned his head to look at his arm and used his fingers to pick at the muscles of his arm, and Batman ripped his hand off and dragged his arm into the instrument.

"Please, I should always know what happened to me, you keep a straight face and don't speak, as if I have a terminal illness."

“…… It's no different from a terminal illness. Batman paused as he examined the wound on Spider-Man's arm, and he glanced at Spider-Man's expression, as if he was thinking about how to explain it so as not to scare him.

"The Joker has injected a special potion into your body, which you can understand as the source of darkness in this city, and it is very likely to erode your spirit and make you embrace the dark side of human nature."

It was very rare for Batman to say such a long series of words in one breath, but Spider-Man didn't seem to understand at all, and he immediately expressed his doubts.

"I don't understand, you mean he turned the source of a city's darkness into a potion and injected it into my body, but what's the point?"

"He wants to pollute you and make you deal with me."

"But I'm not going to deal with you."

"If you're under the influence of a potion, you're ......"

"I'm not going to deal with you." Spider-Man repeated his words again, he stared straight at Batman, and then said, "I can see that the officers and sheriffs of the Gotham Police Department trust you, which means that you must have defended the city and done a lot of great things, and heroes should not hurt each other." ”

Batman was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid nothing in this city will live up to your beautiful fantasies." ”

"But this is not an illusion, it is unjust that I would never raise my fist against my friend at any time, place, or under any hardship circumstances." Spider-Man emphasized.

"The Joker is the most dangerous criminal in the city because he sees everyone's weaknesses."

Batman's tone was low, but a little soft, as if telling a story that wasn't so dark.

"He knew he couldn't influence my will, so he resorted to other means to achieve his goal, not the first time he wanted to destroy the Bat Family, nor the first time he planned to harm Robins."

Spider-Man's mood also fell, and he seemed to hear the sad story behind Batman's tone, so he asked, "Did he hurt your children?" ”

"More than once."

"But you don't have to worry about me as much as you worry about them, Spider-Man is stronger than you think, and countless disasters that have almost destroyed the world have not brought me down."

"Heroes are more likely to be defeated by themselves."

Spider-Man heard the empathetic sadness in Batman's words, as if there were countless tragic stories hidden behind it.

"I don't care what the world is like." Spider-Man gasped with some anger, he glared at Batman and said, "It's always me who determines whether I'm good or bad, not the world, not some criminal who made up a potion, I'll prove it!" ”

"But you'd better not leave the Batcave for the rest of the day." Batman felt that he had taken up all his patience to explain to the fledgling who had just arrived in the city how dangerous it was.

"Quite the opposite." Spider-Man took a few steps back, freed himself from Batman's tugging at his arm, and said, "If I retreat now, I will let that dangerous criminal succeed, so not only can I not stay here, but I should also take the initiative and let them understand that their plot will not affect me in any way." ”

Batman stood in place and looked at him silently, he was resolute and silent like a dark mountain standing in place, and Spider-Man saw in him two shadows: a hero and a father.

"I'm sorry, Batman, I know you might be worried that I'm being poisoned and doing bad things, but I can't sit back and know that so many supercriminals are operating in the city, I have to defeat them."

"I don't think it's a good choice to be so aggressive."

"Can you give me information about those supercriminals?"

Batman looked at Spider-Man in silence, and from Spider-Man's eyes, Batman could see that if he didn't give Spider-Man these information, then he would also investigate it himself until he got what he wanted.

Another Tough Seed, Batman thought, he had thought several times about changing the name of the Justice League to the Tough Seed League, and he had also thought about changing the name of the Bat Family to the Tough Seed Family several times, I don't know if it was bad luck, everyone around him was against him and had great talent in this regard.

"Go to the archives." With a wave of his cape, Batman took Spider-Man to the archives as if he had already made a plan.

Here is the information of the Gotham super criminals collected by Batman, of course, it is some relatively simple information, and Batman's analysis and plan to deal with each super criminal are not among them.

After entering the archives, Spider-Man finally quieted down, but the grief and anger that lingered in his chest did not dissipate, and his special inspiration from spider-sensing made him see countless pairs of dark hands in Batman's body that wanted to pull the superhero into hell, and felt angry about it.

This anger drove him to improve his concentration, and over the next few hours, he carefully read through all the supercriminals in Gotham that were kept in the Batman Archives, and wrote down eighty percent of them.

Batman has been watching Spider-Man's movements, in fact, his plan is to drag Spider-Man as much as possible, and activate the countermeasures in the Batcave, once the dark potion injected by the Joker into Spider-Man takes effect, he can immediately subdue Spider-Man, and then study what changes have occurred in him, combined with the remaining potion in the needle, to find the formula for the antidote.

The information of the super criminals in the Batman archives is very detailed, he has collected all the movements of almost all the super criminals, if it is an ordinary person to read, this pile of information will take at least a few months to read a rough idea.

But Spider-Man read almost all the information at a quantum speed reading speed, and said that he had memorized most of it, and although Batman was skeptical, he was more concerned about Spider-Man's current condition.

"Do you feel any changes in your body?" Batman asked.

Spider-Man, who was putting the last document back on the shelf, was stunned for a moment, he glanced down at himself, rubbed his eyes and said, "Change? Do I think my eyes are a little dry? ”

"The eye drops are in the drawer on your left."

"Thank you."

Spider-Man ordered the eye drops, opened his eyes a few times, shook his head and said, "Wow, I feel better, what brand of eye drops are yours, can I bring some back when I leave?" I think this will help me prepare for the revision before the final exam. ”

Batman was still staring at Spider-Man, with the expression on his face that read, "Don't you feel anything unusual about yourself other than that?" ”

Spider-Man shook his head innocently and said, "I don't feel anything uncomfortable, maybe his needle pierced my skin, but the poison didn't go in?" Or is my spider mutation making me immune to the toxicity involved? ”

Batman's eyes narrowed in disapproval, while Spider-Man shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not going to waste my time worrying about this kind of needless worry, good neighbors are coming to Gotham City!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out, Batman did not stop him, but after Spider-Man left, he activated the monitoring equipment on Spider-Man's uniform, and then came to the monitoring room to closely observe Spider-Man's every move.

He must make sure that the moment Spider-Man becomes ill is captured by him, so that he can stop Spider-Man immediately and prevent him from causing any trouble with his super powers.

Unsurprisingly, the sight displayed on the surveillance screen shows that Spider-Man's first stop is the Penguin Man's Iceberg Restaurant.

In terms of the information provided by Spider-Man, the Penguin can indeed be called full of evil, or rather, a teenage hero like Spider-Man will be more disgusted with supercriminals with a gangster background, which is also the result of Batman's deliberate guidance.

If the dark side guided by the Source of Darkness is destined to explode, and Spider-Man has superpowers, then he can go crazy in the Iceberg Restaurant to reduce the disruption of the normal order of Gotham and also combat the arrogance of the Penguin.

Batman's eyes were glued to the surveillance screen, and it didn't take long for the door of the iceberg restaurant to appear in Spider-Man's field of vision.
