Gotham City, the capital of sin.

Gotham at night always exudes a breathtaking aura, with towering buildings casting deep shadows in the dim light, and streets filled with damp fog that makes all sins and secrets hazy and obscure.

The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds in the gloomy alley, leaving only a glimmer of light. The dilapidated brick walls, the indescribable sense of oppression. The tapping of heels echoed through the darkness until the end of the alleyway. The blonde woman turns in horror in a cul-de-sac, holding her handbag in fear.

Emerging from the shadows behind her were several men with cold eyes. He had long, unkempt hair, a sharp knife in his hand, and a malicious smile on his lips.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and the men who think they are hunters obviously do not realize that there is another person here in the dark.

The dart that broke through the air knocked away the sharp knife in the hand of the man in charge. The man was taken aback, turned his head to see that Gotham's nightmare was rushing out of the shadows in the form of a bat, and slammed the man who took the lead with a heavy blow to the head.

"Batman!"

The other thugs also let out a cry of terror, which was the biggest nightmare they could have in the city.

Batman doesn't know why, but every time he spends a lot of time with one of the big blue scouts in the league, he craves the darkness even more.

When you're with the Justice League, it's always some legendary adventure, saving the planet, correcting time and space, and so on. In contrast, things are much simpler in the streets, and the gangsters who do not enter the stream carry out some crimes that do not enter the stream.

Sometimes he is very generous at night, and when he is lucky, he can even see these scumbags crying.

Unfortunately, tonight, a red-blue afterimage interrupted Batman's fun before he could start working.

In the blink of an eye for Batman, the gangsters in front of him had all disappeared as if they had evaporated from the world. The whirlwind brought up his cloak, and the strong wind pressure made him squint for a moment.

He turned around and saw Superman levitating behind him.

"I have a reluctant request, Batman."

"Nope." Batman said coldly, "I won't lend you my private yacht." ”

Superman raised an eyebrow.

"I sent all your prisoners to prison before you broke every rib of them. Hope you don't mind. Maybe let's find a place to talk alone? ”

"Hmph."

Batman snorted, pulled out his hook gun, and flew into the air.

"I'm on patrol, let's talk as I work. Hang on. ”

In fact, Superman wanted to say that it would be more efficient for me to patrol with you, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth and quietly followed. Because he knew that saying that would probably make Batman blow up, and there was nothing to talk about the follow-up.

"I think about a lot of things. About Kryptonite. ”

"I've seen the report of the firestorm." Batman said, "Fortunately, Firestorm is on the scene, there are not many people in the alliance who have the ability to dispose of the tiny kryptonite in your wound so quickly, and I don't know what other effects it will have if it drags on a little longer." ”

"Lucky in misfortune, I guess." Superman sighed.

At this point, Batman saw something, spread his cloak and glided down. He tiptoed from the roof into a dark corner, walking on his knees and moving his vision to some shadow. After waiting patiently for about two minutes, a masked gangster who had robbed a convenience store suddenly jumped out and spread his cloak to scare the goods half to death.

Superman floated patiently in the sky with his arms in his arms the whole time, until he watched him handcuff the poor creature who had fainted with fright.

"Don't worry about the electric girl." Batman stood up and continued, "You did a lot of upfront work, all the preparation, all the set-up, but one guy was completely lucky enough to pick up a big bargain. This is nothing unusual to me. ”

"No, it's not." Superman shook his head, "I'm not bothered by this loss, it's just that you see, we used to think that kryptonite was one of the rarest substances in the universe. But now?

I recently had a nightmare where I saw a whole world covered in kryptonite, and the whole earth turned green, from the foundations to the buildings. I have nowhere to stay here.

To make matters worse, this incident made me realize that this scenario is not far from reality. Kryptonite is everywhere, everywhere, and so much that it's outrageous.

So much so that even any prop master can buy a real kryptonite for the movie, just because the director wants to make the movie look more realistic. ”

Batman snorted: "They care about the truth in this kind of place." ”

"yes. Wait," Superman raised an eyebrow, "So you've read the script too?" You know the Batman Origins they wrote"

"I don't want to talk about that."

Batman said dryly.

"Let's get back to business."

"Okay. That said, kryptonite is becoming more and more common nowadays, and I've even seen people in the upper echelons of society spend a lot of money on Kryptonite engagement rings.

And in the small town of Smallville, where I grew up, I found out that there were tons of kryptonite, big patches. Almost every week, a kryptonite monster pops up to wreak havoc.

So when I was a kid, I understood that kryptonite would bring out the most ferocious side of people. And for me, it was fatal.

Can you imagine what it's like to go out every day knowing that you could die at any moment? ”

"I don't have to imagine."

Batman crouched on a drip spout and said coldly.

"There's one thing that works to me just as much as kryptonite does to you, and it's called bullets. Every night when I go out, as long as I miss my hand once in a while, a bullet can kill me.

Welcome to the human world, Clark. ”

"You know what I mean." Superman pouts.

"I'm just saying that kryptonite makes you more human."

"But someone will die because of it." Superman said, "Every time I'm delayed or hurt and fall because of Kryptonite, every second I feel like someone is injured or killed because of it, and I could have saved them." ”

Batman: "."

"Lana used to joke to me that maybe I should collect all the kryptonite around town, seal it and throw it into the sun."

"And now you're thinking about feasibility."

Batman asked in a deep voice.

"But you're talking about the kryptonite of the world?"

"yes." Superman looked at him sincerely, "Would you like to help me?" ”

“.”

After a moment, Batman said, "That's not going to be easy. Such a huge amount of kryptonite, and its radiation is impossible to detect when the magnitude is small enough to be detected by our technology.

We need the help of a friend. ”

Superman thought for a moment: "You mean Mr. Shen?" ”

"Yes. But I'm not sure he's going to be cold about that, and he's mostly not going to meddle in our affairs so far. ”

"It shouldn't be a problem to ask him for help." Superman said, "We're friends, aren't we?" ”

"Maybe." "But I have a chance to have a bigger idea." ”

A day later, Kara hugged Shen You's arm hard, shaking and shaking.

"Just help me! Now when I go out, there is kryptonite everywhere, as if I will hit a kryptonite when I take two steps, and I now feel that it is super ~ dangerous outside, and I almost dare not go out"

"Oh? Can't you do this little thing yourself? ”

Shen You was held by her and dangled, but his face was unmoved.

"I can scan kryptonite wavelengths, but I can't do anything if it's too small. For example, some fragments of almost undetectable radiation, and molecular-scale kryptonite particles."

"That's it." Shen You thought thoughtfully, "Since it's so dangerous outside, then I guess I shouldn't go shopping with Raven tonight?" ”

"Ahh

Kara's hair stood on end, and her little head shook like a rattle.

"That's not going to work. That's still going to have to go."

"Then let's be honest, you really came up with this idea yourself?"

The girl was silent for a few seconds, and then honestly disarmed.

"No, Carl told me to say that."

"I knew it."
