Earth 2, 1979, Park Street. Or rather, before it was renamed "Crime Alley".

That night, the Waynes passed by Park Street. A criminal named Joe Gill passes by and pulls out a pistol.

Two shots, two people fell, blood flew all over the ground, forever rewriting Bruce Wayne's life and the fate of the entire city of Gotham.

In 1992, Bruce Wayne put on a cape for the first time, and the Batman saga began to appear in Gotham.

In 1994, Joe Gill died, along with several other guys who worked for the then crime emperor Falcone. Batman, who has become the best detective in the world, notices this, and he traces down Falcone and interrogates the secrets of the year from the old guy's mouth.

"Joe Gill? I've only used him once, and I hired him to kill Thomas Wayne! ”

Falcone yelled as he faced Batman's interrogation.

"Why? Because Thomas Wayne is a goddamn traitor! ”

Batman was taken aback, but his face remained unmoved: "Do you know Thomas Wayne?" ”

"Of course. That guy saved my life. ”

It's a story Bruce has never heard before, about the dark side of his family and his father's generation. Falcone was still young at the time, and he was not yet the godfather of the Gotham crime world. He was shot in the street, and he would have died in a matter of minutes. But a professional doctor who happened to pass by saved his life.

That's Thomas Wayne.

Since then, they have been best friends. Parties, celebrities, and even drugs, a corrupt life, but along with money and status, they all make a lot of money. It was also during that time that Thomas met Martha, his future wife.

It wasn't until the birth of Bruce Wayne that everything changed.

With the birth of their child, the Waynes began to think seriously about what kind of example they should set and they wanted to make a distance from the past. But Thomas Wayne had already fallen too deep, and Falcone naturally couldn't allow him to get out of the way.

And so there was the night of Crime Alley.

Now, what he did began to have consequences. A mysterious killer sets out to eliminate all the people involved in the crime alley case, and Joe Gill is just the beginning, along with some of his fox friends, so he is suspected of being involved in the murder.

And after continuing to investigate deeply, Batman was shocked to find that the killer was his father who was supposed to die, Thomas Wayne.

“.”

Today, beneath Gotham, in what should have been an abandoned bat cave.

"So I'm your grandfather, kid." Thomas Wayne sighed and said, "I didn't die, I just persuaded my friends in the hospital to fake my death."

Because I knew Falcone wasn't going to let me go. As long as I'm alive, he'll send another attack, even to my children."

"Nope." Helena gritted her teeth and said, "Daddy never mentioned you to me. He told me that my grandfather was long dead. ”

"Maybe it's because in his heart I'm really dead." Thomas said gloomily, "After Falcone's death, I changed my identity and I wanted to see him. But Bruce chased me away and he refused to accept me.

You know that his eyes are very similar to his mother's, but his stubbornness is inherited from me. ”

Helena was silent.

"I went to every important moment of his life, I watched from afar, never close." He said, "I watched him get married, I watched you be born." I watched you grow up. Even if I have never been a part of your life. ”

Helena was silent for a while.

"Even at the end of the day, you didn't show up." She said coldly, "But now that you're back, count on me believing that my grandfather, who is long dead, still alive." ”

"Yes, because I realize that I have not been able to do anything for you in my life. There's only one thing left for me to do. Carry forward his career. ”

Thomas Wayne picked up Batman's helmet and faced it as if he could find his son's shadow from it.

"I gained superhuman strength through an injection of drugs called 'Miracle Hormone', which only lasted an hour, but allowed me to step onto the battlefield as Batman. Inherit my son's mantle and become a greater man than Thomas Wayne back then. ”

"Drugs? So that's why you're ridiculously fast. Helena frowned, "But will that have side effects?" ”

"Maybe, but I don't care." "I'm 65 years old, and I can't do anything without this medicine." But as long as it allows me to fight even one more day, it's valuable. After all.

No one will be disappointed in me anymore. ”

Helena muttered for a few seconds, trying to say something, but was interrupted by the cacophony of sirens in the bat cave.

"Intrusion Alert."

Thomas gritted his teeth, put on his helmet, and quickly sat down in front of the bat computer.

Helena had to put down what she wanted to say for the time being, and leaned behind his chair: "Who is it?" ”

The source of heat was quickly marked on the radar, densely packed and overwhelming.

"It's the demons, the army of the Apocalypse."

Thomas jerked up from his seat.

They're making a comeback."

Geneva, inside the fire pit.

"The green of all things tells me that the war is going on again." Arando, "The goal is Gotham but why? Gotham has almost nothing left."

"There are news reports that Batman is still alive." Shen You said lightly, "If I were Superman, I would immediately judge that it was the top threat. Also, assume that Superman knows exactly where the bat cave is"

"They're heading for the Bat Cave?" Alan was surprised, "Batman is still alive?" ”

"Maybe, but not necessarily the same." Shen You said, "But don't worry, it's not a big problem"

Without warning, the laser suddenly launched a sneak attack out of nowhere. The impact of energy that leaps at the speed of light will inevitably fail to react even to those who are extremely fast in the case of a sneak attack.

But Shen You was always vigilant around him, and he had already taken a warning step before this blow, and his body lightly avoided the side with the electric light.

Of course, the Green Lantern in the back didn't react so quickly.

The laser hit head-on, blasting a spark on the green barrier in front of his chest. He fell backwards and rolled twice in a daze.

But it's not a big problem, the meat outfit from other people, to this extent, even the blood skin has not fallen.

Green Lantern: "."

I suddenly wondered if I didn't have any sarcastic attributes today. Obviously, there are teammates who take the lead in their own palace, why do you have to bear all the damage?
