My name is Jon Rontz, and I've used Kalvin Swanwick, John Jones, and so on.

But maybe you'll be more familiar with my other name.

Martian Manhunter.

And the man in front of me is Batman.

In the hazy sunlight of the mist, his figure appeared in a cloud of shadows, just as the books in the cheap shops said.

It was the first time I saw Batman in the true sense of the word.

He was said to have opened his arms and laughed wildly as he ran into every deepest midnight, chasing the darkness and fear, the power that worked for him...... Oh, yes, gentlemen.

I think he came from the slanting sun, which was scorched black and ruby red, a hue like jam in a berry tart.

Of course, no one knows what he's running away from.

Perhaps even he himself did not know this.

Martian Manhunter is not unaware of what Batman does. He tries to prop Superman in his place, recruiting villains, and plans for retirement.

As long as you check carefully, these traces cannot be hidden from Martian Manhunters.

However, while it's clear that Batman has plans to retire, the green-skinned alien is also clear: at this stage, Batman is still irreplaceable.

In fact, the government has been planning this alliance for a long time, even before the predecessor of the current president, Clinton. The Metal Man was the product of this plan, which was eventually infiltrated by Luthor himself.

Martian Manhunter has to admit that in terms of scientific research ability, Luther's ability is outstanding. The limit to him is entirely the level of technology on his home planet, Earth, and those scientists in the government are not worthy of Luther himself on a technical level.

As a result, the Metal Man project was taken away by Luthor with his own scientific research ability, and the end result was that John Cobain's technology was basically from Luthor's hands, which the government would never tolerate.

So the incident was put on hold, but it never stopped.

The Japanese-American katana with her husband's slashing man, the mecha soldier corps, and even the Martian Manhunter himself, who finally decided to have a showdown with the government, are all the government's explorations and efforts in the field of transcendent creatures.

Another example is the Green Lantern, the government has not yet found out his true identity -

Okay, okay, as soon as Batman opened his mouth, he reported Green Lantern's real name.

But that doesn't mean the government is incompetent, they just ...... It takes time.

All in all, the government has been trying to work with Batman, not to let him wander on the gray edge of the law. The idea of "adding Batman to the Alliance" was put forward and entered the implementation stage under the premise of such thinking logic.

As for the proposal of Batman becoming the leader, frankly speaking, there were many people who opposed it at first, but in fact, the government itself lacked a candidate who could lead the entire alliance.

Martian Manhunter?

Martian Manhunter himself excused himself, he knew very well that his weakness of fear of fire was too easy to target him, which meant that anyone with a lighter could make a small flame, and kryptonite, even if it was man-made, had to go through at least dozens of processes, and the man-made one might not be as effective as the original.

Green Lantern?

Not to mention that the government did not find out the true identity of the other party for the time being before it was broken by Batman, even if they had the true identity of Green Lantern, they did not dare to let the other party become the leader of the entire alliance, the reason was very simple.

A "United Nations" that could ride on the head of a government across the universe may be more terrifying than a bunch of Batmen who have no land under them.

What katana metal man and the like are even more impossible, in case you forcibly push the katana to the position of the leader of the alliance, and then during the fight, she said that her husband came to the great aunt today, can't fight, and wants to strike, what can I do?

And Wonder Woman ...... Wonder Woman is already synonymous with uncontrollability in the eyes of the government. Her psychological tests evaluated her, and her sensibility trumped her reason.

In fact, they had a plan to push the mechanical superman to the leader of the alliance, and he could fight and control, and also had the ability to subdue the other alliance members head-on, however, this idea was forced to terminate after the mechanical superman was confirmed to be related to Steppenwolf.

Therefore, it is not that the government wants Batman to become the leader, but after comprehensive consideration, on the premise of not affecting the overall strength of the squad, no one is more suitable for the position of leader than Batman.

"Justice League?" Martian Manhunter heard Batman say, "Gross! It's a terrible name. ”

He said: "What kind of ghost is this name of Justice Lianmeng, it is third-rate when you hear it." If it's not called the Legion of Destruction, so can the Super Villain Secret Society. ”

"Or the Injustice Alliance, the Syndicate, or the Secret Six?"

(Note: What Chen Tao said here are the names of DC's famous villain alliances)

Chen Tao was talking nonsense to delay time, while silently weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

“……”

Martian Manhunter couldn't help but be speechless.

The green-skinned alien scratched his bare head.

He was so impressed by Batman's unconventional remarks that he didn't know what to say.

"Please be normal."

He finally said bluntly.

"I'm sorry." Chen Tao apologized very sincerely: "So ......"

So......?

"I'm against it!" Mechanical Superman took two quick steps and walked to Martian Manhunter's side: "What are you kidding, where are your documents?" Do you represent the government? I wouldn't agree to such a thing! ”

He pointed at Batman: "I am fighting for the country, punishing evil for the country." I would never work with an illegal vigilante who has broken the law and the ex-criminals under his command. ”

He directly grabbed the Martian Manhunter's collar suddenly: "Listen, Greenskin, I don't know if those people in the government have shown you my information, I'm not an alien like you, although I have mutated because of cosmic rays, I am still a complete earthling, I am guarding my planet!" You can't do this to me! ”

"Your Excellency the President has long thought that you will have objections." Faced with the sudden attack of the mechanical superman, the Martian Manhunter was expressionless, he directly took out the communicator and slapped it on the mechanical superman's face.

Mecha Superman himself was there to bargain and shout at the president, and Martian Manhunt turned his gaze back to Chen Tao.

He could tell Batman was hesitating.

"I'm sorry, Batman, but I don't have anyone else but you." He said with a somewhat regretful expression: "After all, you are the only one who can take on the big responsibility." ”

When he said the last sentence, he seemed to mean something, not knowing that he was referring to Batman's abilities, and he was also alluding to the betrayal of the mechanical superman.

So he saw Batman exhale deeply.

"So ......"

So......?

"So I refused to be the master of the Justice League."

“……”

"It's the chief." Wonder Woman reminded him at the side: "You made a mistake, you said it wrong." ”

"But we don't have anyone else but you." Martian Manhunter said.

He thought that Batman wanted to play some kind of trick that he would accept later. Then he heard Batman say:

"Yes, of course, how could there be?"

"Is it The Flash?" Martian asked, "But he can't, you know, the Flash lacks leadership qualities." ”

Martian Manhunt was no longer able to use telepathy, but in an instant he re-entered the role of a persuader. He shook his spirits and condensed his thoughts: "The Flash is ......"

Then he saw Batman turn around and pull the supergirl who was still fainting from behind and directly pulled out the supergirl from under the mouth of the superdog Krypton, and placed it in front of Martian Manhunter, like a naughty little boy showing his favorite figure to his companions.

"What do you mean, Batman?"

"Just let Supergirl be the boss!"

Martian Manhunter doesn't know what to say, and becoming the leader of the Justice League is not just going to be the director of the neighborhood committee, and he can sign and seal it and take office directly.

As the leader, you have to subdue the other unruly superhumans in the ranks. It's not that you have to be the leader to lead the Justice League, it's the person who can lead the Justice League to become the leader.

Even if Batman forcibly pushed Supergirl to the position of leader, but the other party had no way to subdue the other members, so what was the point of such a leader? In the end, the actual power will still fall into the hands of Batman, which is completely left hand to right hand, avoiding the title of a leader.

"I don't care, but the situation now is that I won't be in the position of leader." Batman seemed to have guessed what was going on in the heart of Martian Manhunter, and he responded neatly: "But if Supergirl joins the Justice League and becomes the leader, I'll join too, that's fair, isn't it?" ”

As he said this, he threw the super girl who had just been lifted up by him and displayed like a doll on the ground, and the loyal super dog Little Krypton immediately turned upside down, lifted the other party's cloak with his mouth, tried to drag her aside, and then tried to pick her up again.

Martian Manhunter frowned.

It's unclear what Batman is up to, but at least he's done it. All it takes is Batman agrees to join the Justice League, and everything is easy to say.

"What, Batman won't be the leader of the Justice League, the leader is that Kryptonian?"

After hearing Chen Tao's decision, the mechanical superman, who was originally very excited, actually became calm again, and he stood there with an incomprehensible glow in his eyes.

After a long time, he actually agreed directly: "Yes, as long as it is not Batman who becomes the leader, I can accept whoever it is, even if it is a mouse." ”

“！”

Frankly, this result was also unexpected by Martian Manhunters.

What's going on today? One after another is so fond of Kryptonian girls?

"I have no opinion." Wonder Woman said succinctly: "As long as it is for the cause of justice, I don't care about the leader." ”

......At this moment, the super girl, who had been in a deep coma, suddenly woke up with a bang.

As soon as she woke up, she coughed loudly: "Cough, cough!" I'm going to choke to death! ”

She held her head and got up from the ground in a bit of confusion, and then saw the super dog Little Krypton gnawing her cloak: "Little Krypton!" What happened? ”

"Wang!" Little Krypton saw that the super girl had finally woken up, and screamed very excitedly.

Among the creatures present, Krypton is perhaps the only creature that is genuinely happy that Supergirl has woken up.

"Ahem, cough, ahem!" In response to the super dog, Kara coughed, followed by a large cloud of kryptonite, and the smoke was coughed out by Kara and sprayed directly on Krypton's face.

"Wang!" Little Krypton was caught off guard, and couldn't help but snort, covering his neck with his dog's paws, and fainted with a loud sound.

He had already inhaled a lot of kryptonite just now, although it was less than that of Supergirl, so he didn't fall into a coma, but it still affected its superpowers.

Syllable!

The magical girl raised her head and just wanted to say something, but she was hit on the door of her head by Chen Tao's fist again, and she fainted gorgeously again.

"So that's it."

He picked up the cape of the supergirl in one hand and put on the classic pose of lifting the other party up with the cloak after the superhuman villain defeated the superman family:

"From now on, Supergirl will be our leader."

In fact, Martian Manhunter was right, he just wanted to give up the position of leader.

He has never given up on his plans for retirement, and if he is the leader now, then will he retire?

Conversely, if Supergirl becomes the leader, he can also teach the other party as a member. People are able to grow up, right, although Super Girl is widely known as the shame of Krypton in many publications, but Superman is still basking in the sun for more than 30 years before finally achieving it, Kara is also a Kryptonian physique, and he is definitely capable of doing it after he is trained.

"In addition to the full members, I also intend to involve some non-staff personnel." Chen Tao said to Martian Manhunter: "Some villains who have changed their ways. ”

Without waiting for Martian Manhunter to continue speaking: "In the face of a cosmic crisis, we must unite all the forces that can be united, don't we? ”

He first forced the other party's mouth with words, and then quickly started talking on the phone.

After a while, the fog cleared, and a portal opened in the void, and the killer crocodile appeared on the field with the entire scoundrel gang and a stupid mud face.

"So, what's going on?"

Captain Cold looked at the large number of superheroes on the scene, a little frightened, and just wanted to jump back to the red of all beings, he found that the killer crocodile had closed the portal.

"Is Batman going to sell us to the government?"

The villains are messing around, chattering, not knowing what to say.

"Fellow scumbags, villains, laugh wildly, celebrate!

Our cause will be accomplished, and the whole world will tremble under our control! We're going to form a coalition—"

"Applause!" The killer crocodile took the lead and began to applaud, several other villains followed suit, the magician began to breathe fire with the aerial walking shoes on his feet, and for a while the demons danced wildly, and the Martian Manhunters were dizzying.

"Uh, I'm pretty sure I didn't mean that......" Martian Manhunt protested a little dumbfounded.

Chen Tao ignored him. Instead, he jumped to the top of the mountain and began to laugh wildly: "This alliance is called—"

Boom!

At this moment, a car suddenly rushed out of the fog that had not yet dissipated, and Black Adam jumped out of the window, surrounded by thunder and lightning: "Mortals! Feel—"

Then he saw a whole bunch of people in colorful clothes looking at him.
