Lincoln March, a claw in the Court of Owls, but that's not all. What makes him so special to Gotham and Batman is because he believes he comes from the same family that built the city single-handedly.

He believes that he is Thomas Wayne, the brother of Batman who has never met.

He was supposed to be Bruce Wayne's younger brother, but a car accident with their mother, Martha Wayne, forced him to be born prematurely. He remained at the Children's Hospital, sponsored by the Martha Foundation, until the hospital's funder couple were shot dead in Crime Alley. The hospital gradually declined, and he was slowly forgotten. That is, until the Owl Court unearthed him and transformed him into a weapon to control Gotham.

But that's just one side of the story.

Although he himself was convinced of this, it was a worldview that he had been instilled in the court since childhood. Batman also remembers having a younger brother, who must have died within twelve hours of his birth.

There are questions about whether Lincoln March is Batman's younger brother, and of course that's a headache for Batman himself, just like the Owl Court.

Shen You went out and caught this little mouse by the way, which was a gift for Batman. The problems of the court and the battle over the family property have left Gotham Kuo to worry about himself, and he now has more important things to do.

The electric light pierced the sky, rushed out of Gotham in high-speed blurred time and space, and galloped through mid-air, all the way into Midtown. He landed on the ground as he flew over about half the city, and began to glide and slow down, dragging lightning and whirlwind a few more streets away, and swaying into the lab they had prepared the morning.

The Wonder Girl, the Huntress and the Flash are all waiting here.

"Sorry, I was delayed when I went out." Shen You patted off the remaining electric light on his body and stepped forward, "Ready?" ”

"All the commissioning is in place."

Barry was flashing back and forth between the console, the treadmill, and the arched door-like device as he spoke. After a lap of overhaul at super high speed, he flashed and leaned against the edge of the control tower, smiling and giving a thumbs up.

"No problem."

Cullen took a deep breath, "We're going back." ”

"I said it wasn't a good idea." Helena muttered.

Karen took her hand: "We've been here for a long time, we can't afford to delay any longer, even if home has become hell." Think about what Carl and your father sacrificed for, and if we don't step up, won't their sacrifice be in vain? ”

"I knew I couldn't talk about you." Helena sighed.

Barry has started the treadmill and tunnel. The lights lit up in turn, and the engine roared lowly. He walked over to the conveyor belt of the treadmill: "Can we go?" ”

"Ready." Helena nodded. She thought for a moment and looked at Shen You, "Are you sure you want to go over too?" Let's start with that, our world is not like this.

Peace and tranquility may well have become a thing of the past forever, a battlefield, a hell that never ends. ”

Sounds like exactly where I need to be.

"It's okay, I'll take a look." Shen You smiled, "Or rather, at least a part of me." ”

His knowledge of Earth2 is also mostly from comics, and he is not entirely sure of what will happen to the other side. In addition, considering that the potential crisis in the world here has not been resolved, he may be needed at any time. Therefore, it is not the ontology that Shen You wants to follow to explore the path this time.

Again, this is another test. The study of the speed force of God has allowed Shen You to appear in two places at the same time at will, even at the two ends of the universe without any pressure. But this is the first time that it will work if it will work without this universe.

If successful, this will be another precious experimental data, which is the basis for Shen You's idea of "sprinkling light all over the multiverse".

"Okay, now that everyone is ready."

Barry took a deep breath and pressed the switch on the treadmill.

"Then let's . Let's go! ”

The lightning of the speed force spilled out, filling the entire laboratory in an instant. The Flash began to run wildly on the running belt, and his body quickly turned into a mass of afterimages wrapped in electric light.

The electric light seemed to pierce through space, drawing endless energy from the realm of divine speed. The quantum tunnel roared open, and the golden vortex surrounded the current, which was stretched open little by little, revealing the path to the mysterious area in front of everyone.

"That's pretty much it!"

The Flash kept running at high speed, shouting.

"If you're going to go, you'd better hurry, I'm not sure how long this treadmill will last."

In fact, this equipment is already an improved model, but after all, it does not have to bear the burden that ordinary machines can bear. The faster-than-light Flash and such a huge amount of speed force energy, if it were the earth's material, it might have already turned into a ball of scrap metal, just like the prototype that Shen You made at the beginning.

Shen You strode into the whirlpool. His form was quickly engulfed by the storm of energy and disappeared to the other side.

Karen and Helena looked at each other, holding hands, and stepped forward as well.

The backs of the three disappeared in the tunnel. The Flash pressed the switch and gradually stopped running. But even so, the quantum tunnel still exploded with electric sparks, and the shell parts were loose, and it seemed that it was on the verge of its limit.

The Flash stopped on the treadmill, let out a breath on his knees, and muttered to himself.

"I can only send you here, I wish you a smooth journey~"

Long passage, narrow but warm. During this period, Shen You even felt a layer of resistance, but as soon as he stepped forward and used a little force, he suddenly broke through.

After passing that resistance, it was immediately unimpeded all the way, and it went straight to the Yellow Dragon.

At the end, a burst of bright light bloomed, and Shen You rushed out, his body flipping lightly twice and then hanging in the air.

"Spatial oscillation frequency measurement." He ordered it as soon as possible.

The armor attached to his chrono bracelet, which quickly tested the frequency of the space he was in. In the DC universe, this is the basic criterion for judging parallel worlds, and the oscillation frequency is like the fingerprint of the multiverse, and each universe has its own different frequency.

"The test is complete. In conclusion, here are the different planes in the multiverse, and the frequencies are consistent with the values of the target code name 'Earth 2'. ”

At this time, the two girls had also rushed out of the tunnel. It's just that the two of them are obviously not as experienced as Shen You in dimensional shuttle, and they both fell to the ground before they could adjust their balance after landing.

"Are we there?" Helena shook her drowsy head and looked up.

"It's here. But can you get your ass off my boobs first? Cullen, who was crushed underneath, said, "It's not that you are heavy, it's just that this place feels weird when it's crushed and deformed."

Helena gave her a blank look and stood up without saying a word.

She knew that Karen was worried that her human physique would fall and would not be able to bear it, so she deliberately used herself as a meat shield under Helena, and at the same time could distribute her biological force field as a buffer.

I have to say that the Divine Power Girl is indeed very elastic when she is a mat, and the cushioning effect is full.

Both girls were stunned when they got up.

The sky was covered in thick smoke, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and explosions. The open ground is full of potholes, and broken walls and ruins can be seen everywhere. It was as if the night sky was lit up by a never-extinguishing flame, and the colors of the flames were particularly vivid in the shattered shadows.

It's all over the place, a place where there's no life.

"Where is this?" Helena was dazed, "Are we going home?" ”

"Looks like so."

Shen You pointed to a signboard in the ruins not far away that had been scorched black by a large half of it.

Helena narrowed her eyes and barely made out the handwriting on the signboard, her pupils narrowed, and she realized a frightening fact.

The sign read, "Welcome to Gotham City."

This place, full of potholes and almost blown flat, is where she was born and raised.

This used to be Gotham City.
