A piece of darkness.

"We fall because we learn how to get up."

"It's those scars that make me who I am, Alfred."

"Yes Father, I'm going to be a bat."

"I'm going to be"

"Bats."

“.”

The darkness faded like a tide, and the ethereal sound faded away. Batman slowly opened his eyes, and vaguely seemed to see the bat flapping its wings and flying from the other side of the darkness.

He tried to raise his arm and reach for it, but he only scratched it.

Regained his senses, and when his gaze refocused, he realized that he was staring at the mark of the bat on the steering wheel of the driver's seat.

"Batmobile?"

He looked left and right and found himself in the Batmobile. His brain was still aching, and his temples seemed to be under constant thump. He couldn't remember how he got here.

It took him seconds to realize that the Batmobile's communication system had been flickering and flickering, and it was an emergency call button that only his closest friends could use. He settled his mind and connected the communication.

A big blue face immediately appeared on the opposite side.

"Batman? Thank goodness you finally took it. Superman's image appeared on the other side, "Are you alright?" ”

"It's fine. I must have dozed off. Batman said.

"And no wonder. I often forget that you're still just a human being, unlike me and Diana. We've been fighting for so many days."

"Continuous combat." Batman repeated, "Tell me more about it. ”

Superman looked surprised.

"You don't remember that? Endless criminals, all of whom should have been caught by us, of course, all appeared in unison. General Zod, thinker, clown, blah blah bla

As he spoke, there were constant fights and shouts of killing on the other end of the communication end.

At this time, Superman glanced back in the direction of an explosion, and frowned: "Sorry, I have to go, emergency."

Without waiting for a response, he flew out of the camera, and communication was interrupted.

Without further ado, Batman immediately started the Batmobile and rushed to his location. As the Batmobile sped through the burning streets, he looked out the windows at the ruined streets, feeling strange in his heart.

"Not a single civilian."

Batman's suspicions grow.

It would be nice to say that the civilians had been withdrawn from the streets, but he had already driven a few streets all the way and did not even see a single corpse. Willingly or not, it is impossible for a supernatural conflict of this magnitude to be without a single casualty.

He checked the combat information through the Batmobile, and after looking at the personnel list, he was even more suspicious.

General Zod and the Joker are teaming up. Wonder Woman's enemy, Leopard Girl, hooks up with a supervillain thinker who uses a high-tech hat to boost her IQ.

They are people who should never have crossed paths, and they should never have met each other.

More and more suspicions made him feel that something was wrong.

The tires made a series of screeching noises rubbing against the dilapidated streets, and the Batmobile drifted abruptly, turning around and heading back the way it came.

His instincts told him that he had more important things to confirm than going to the battlefield.

"Uhh

Superman, who had received a punch from General Zod, shot diagonally down from mid-air, shooting through three or five buildings with a bang, and after landing on the ground, a long series of cracks were plowed all the way before barely stopping.

"God, I feel like I've never eaten such a heavy fist in my life"

Superman shook his head and crawled out of the pit panting heavily. When he climbed out of the crater, he unconsciously grabbed a tree on the side of the road that was almost affected and shivered, and accidentally used too much force.

Suddenly, the whole tree was uprooted by him and fell directly on its side.

Superman: "! ”

The superman who realized that something was wrong suddenly realized that something was wrong, suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly inserted the tree back into the hole, and filled the big hole with his hands and feet, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Almost became the murderer of the tree.

However, before this breath was released, a yellow shadow flashed in front of him. The poor tree was directly broken in two by the leopard girl who flew upside down, and it was completely hopeless.

Superman: "."

At this time, Wonder Woman, the culprit who blasted the leopard girl away, landed: "What are you doing, Carl?" Now that the Metropolitan villains are flying in the sky, this is not the time to plant trees. ”

"Okay, I know, I just can't help it"

Superman took a deep breath and flew again.

"You're in charge of the east side, and I'm in charge of the west side."

"Where's Batman?"

"It's still on the way. He is not as capable as we are, and his strength may be almost overwhelmed."

Saying Cao Cao Cao, the two were talking so far, and Batman's voice came from the communication channel.

"I want you two to come to the Star Laboratory."

Superman and Wonder Woman look at each other.

"Now?" Superman wonders.

"That's right, now." Batman repeats.

Wonder Woman also said, "But the Met is under attack. There are so many villains, people are threatened, and we can't sit idly by."

"We're in much bigger trouble than that now." Batman's voice was non-negotiable, "Ignore them, come here." ”

Superman and Wonder Woman looked at each other, puzzles written on their faces.

"Since he's said so."

Superman shrugged his shoulders and exploded the sonic boom with a thud, flying straight past the buildings. Wonder Woman had no choice but to follow.

Although both of them wanted to say in their hearts, what could be more troublesome than this? But considering that it was Batman who spoke, and Batman was often right, they didn't hesitate to do it.

The Stellar Lab is in the Metropolis, and it is a matter of time to circle the entire city at the speed of two people. Soon both Superman and Wonder Woman are in the lab.

"Authentication, Superman, Wonder Woman. Welcome. ”

Starlab is the Met. No, it's the place where the world's best technology is located. But strangely enough, today it is also empty. The two of them went straight through the defense line and came to the deepest room.

Batman has been waiting there for a long time.

"Alright, hurry up if you have anything to say, Bruce." Superman crossed his arms and said, "Someone can get hurt every minute of your time here. ”

"No one will be hurt, Clark."

Batman said expressionlessly.

"Didn't you notice? There are no civilians in the city. ”

"What?"

Both of them were stunned.

"It's a dead city, just us and the criminals. If you don't believe it, check it out with your super senses, and you'll know I'm right. ”

"It's ridiculous."

Superman frowned, but did as he did. He looked up and looked around, his super gaze quickly sweeping through the brick walls and buildings across the building.

"How is this really the case?"

Superman retracted his gaze, his face full of shock.

"But how is that possible? How could I have never noticed? ”

"What's going on?"

Diana looked at Batman.

They have become accustomed to looking to him for answers when they are confronted with unanswerable questions.

But Batman didn't answer directly, but stood in front of Superman with a blank face and looked him straight in the eye.

"Hit me." Batman said.

Superman: "? ”

Wonder Woman: "? ”

Both suspected they had misheard.

What kind of strange new fetish is this?
