As soon as Harley Quinn was about to speak, Batman held out a hand to silence her, then pointed to Harley next to Harley Quinn and said, "You, tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”

As soon as Hallie was about to open her mouth, Batman interrupted her and said, "If you want to avoid the important or make up a story, I'm going to write to Dr. Rodriguez right now and tell him what a mess you've done with me." ”

Hallie closed her open mouth and pursed her lips again, then shrugged her shoulders a little helplessly and said, "Very good, the threat is effective, but I can't understand a lot of their ideas, if I say it wrong, you'll have to trouble me, so I'll just say what I know." ”

Batman nodded slightly, Harley leaned against the edge of the table with her arms crossed, pretended to be mature, sighed, looked at Batman and said, "Have you ever thought about which of your adopted sons should believe in 'becoming Batman' or 'saving Gotham'?" Which do you want them to believe in more? ”

Batman didn't speak, but from the look in his eyes, he was lost in thought, and he was always extra cautious when it came to matters related to Robin, and even in the face of a young Harley Quinquizen, he couldn't give a hasty answer.

While he was still in the process of thinking, Harley spoke first, "A long time ago, at least before they came to our universe, your Robins thought that these two things were actually the same thing, and that as long as they inherited your mantle and became Batman, they would naturally be able to save Gotham." ”

Batman pursed his lips, but he didn't want to say the negative answer, maybe Harley would go back and tell them even if Robins weren't there now.

Does Batman want to save Gotham? Of course he thought, did he take action to save Gotham? Of course, there is, so does he know in his heart that Gotham cannot be saved?

It can only be said that he also had a glimmer of hope when he was young, but as he learned more and more about the darkness of Gotham, he gradually understood that the darkness of Gotham had deeper causes, and it was a problem that no one in the authorities could solve.

And there is a constant topic in the Bat family, that is, who can become the successor of Batman?

Batman also knows how obsessed his Robins are with this problem, and after long-term companionship and reliance on each other, the motivation to become Batman is the original righteous heart that wants to save Gotham, or simply wants to get Batman's approval over everyone, it is impossible to discern.

And Harley continued.

"I can see that they took this as the same thing before, or they actually knew that being Batman might not save Gotham, because you didn't succeed either, but people always have to have hope in life, and there must be a belief that supports them to learn all kinds of crime-fighting techniques from you."

"But when they come to my universe, they find that the Gotham of this universe does not have Batman, but it is much better than the Gotham of their universe, and of course they wonder why."

"Why is there no Batman, Gotham is saved? Who else can save Gotham besides Batman? Is there an inevitable connection between being the successor to Batman and saving Gotham? ”

"When they look at the two things separately from being Batman and saving Gotham, another question naturally arises, if you can't become Batman and save Gotham, what do you do?"

Batman turned his head slightly to look out the window, and there was a faint sound of artillery fire in the distance, and the streets of Midtown not far from here were full of cannonballs, and Gotham had not seen such a grand scene for many years.

Is this how they came to their senses? Killing? ”

"Batman, I want to ask you, which one do you choose to die today or a thousand people in the future?"

Batman turned his head back and stared at Harley with a very Batman-esque gaze, and the guy who used to love to make multiple choice questions was now sitting in the Batcave eating snacks and watching jokes, and here another person popped up with philosophical questions.

"I choose to save a thousand and one people."

"yes, that's because you're Batman." Hallie nodded, not questioning whether Batman could do it at all, but admitted it with kindness, and then said: "Save one today, save a thousand tomorrow, and save ten thousand in the future, with your strength, wealth, and technology, there is nothing you can't do." ”

"So let me change the question, do you really think that there is anyone among your Robins who can perfectly inherit your mantle? Can Dick's Righteous Heart? Can Jason's power do? Can Tim's wisdom? Can Damien's bloodline do? Is there really a second you in this world? ”

Batman looked at Hallie in silence, not as if he didn't want to answer, but just waiting for her next step, and soon Harley asked herself to answer.

"I think, there shouldn't be, you must think so too, if you can really pick out a perfect heir, there will be no Batfamily, each of them is just a part of you, there is no second Batman in this world."

"When they really realize this, they will understand that this path is not going to work, because even you, the unique and unique Batman, have not been able to save Gotham."

"They probably planned to go the other way."

Harley's tone was accompanied by a soft sigh, mature and wise, unlike her, Batman could see that she was putting on the role of someone, perhaps this was the girl's unique talent.

"Is that the tune of your cosmic clown?" Harley Quinn tilted her head towards Harley, her eyes flickering as if in memory, which made Batman sure that Harley Quinn had fallen into madness because of this unique talent.

"Which way do they want to go?" Very rarely, Batman is really asking, because the logic of Robin's actions that he has learned so far is somewhat fragmented, and cannot form a complete logical chain, and it can even be said that it is a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and Batman is eager to know what method they want to use to save Gotham.

"That's the part I don't know." Harley touched her chin and said, "I can only tell you that their motives are probably like this, and if I continue to go deeper into their thinking, it will be difficult for me to be so clever in my thinking of doing business and selling arms." ”

"This is the thinking that I soaked Professor Schiller for a long time before I found a professional from his tower to substitute it, and if I accidentally lost it, he would definitely not let me go in a second time."

"If you've ever been in that tower, you'll be impressed by him, he's called ...... Greed."

"You don't have to say it." Batman waved his cloak and turned away, he had to talk to Robins himself and find out what their dangerous actions were up to.

The group of amateur businessmen and officials couldn't figure out the situation on the battlefield, Batman was not, he only had to stand on the tall building and glance slightly to find the eye of the storm, which was exceptionally calm at this time.

A dark shadow jumps between the buildings in Midtown, and Spider-Man, who is glued to the surface of the building, lets go of a hand and looks down at the fierce fire between the streets.

"Jesus, where did they get so many weapons? And why fight in your own city? ”

Spider-Man is puzzled, he has also seen gangsters in New York City, especially around Hell's Kitchen's Golden Merge Turf, where there are often small and medium-sized gangs who cause chaos in order to grab turf.

But at most, a dozen gang members hid behind barricades or corners, and the most fierce was a shotgun that blasted the door of the store on the opposite side with a shotgun.

But now, the large-scale fire that broke out in Gotham Midtown is not a small war, and it has completely departed from the scope of street fighting, and in the modern city with dense high-rise buildings, there is a kind of beach landing battle and positional meat grinder atmosphere.

After the initial chaos of you robbing me and I robbing you, most people also saw that they had to have a position before they could defend and fight back.

In order to carve out a corner that can stand in the midst of such a huge chaos, it is usually necessary for several forces to unite, rely on the favorable terrain of a certain street, arrange barricades on both sides of the street, dig trenches in the streets and alleys, and transport resources inward in the form of armed trucks.

Although their weapons are not so advanced, the locals naturally know more about the local terrain, and outsiders must negotiate with them if they want to enclose them on their territory.

The vast majority of people did not choose to resist desperately, because in this situation of chaotic fighting everywhere, it is very important to find a financier who can provide a stable supply of weapons and supplies, so as to ensure that they have enough firepower to defend their property.

In this way, the airborne faction and the locals hit it off, one contributing money and the other, the masterminds behind the interest groups provided guns, ammunition, food and supplies, and the locals with combat effectiveness formed armed violent groups to divide up the territory and seize profits.

As a result, Spider-Man, standing on a high place, only saw one heavily armed position after another, and the scene of constantly attacking the position or sending troops from the position to attack others.

The owner of the shop, who was still guarding his own shop with a gun, turned around and rushed out with a group of people to rob other people's shops, and the leader of the convoy who had just fought with the other party because his material car was hijacked turned around and ran to the side of the road to set up a card to hijack the car.

Spider-Man wandered all the way and watched countless scenes like this along the way, but in the end, he found the source of the storm, and Spider-Man made it to the center of the Neville family's residence, where he found the only Red Robin left behind.

When Spider-Man opened the balcony door and walked in, Red Robin waited on the couch for a long time, until Spider-Man walked across the couch, and his spider sense was already deafening.

"I've heard of it for a long time, Spider-Man."

And Batman, who arrived almost at the same time, but stayed on the roof of the opposite building, even if he didn't have spider sense, when he saw Red Robin's expression, for some reason, he felt a chill in his back.
