Macbeth.

A story of witches, cauldrons, traps, and troubles that can be called household names to Westerners.

"Magic." Batman said unhappily, "Do you want to tell us that the witch in Macbeth is real?" ”

"Who knows?" Shen You shrugged, "We already know that Greek mythology is real, and some records of the Alliance's recent activities suggest that there are more myths in Northern Europe that may be true.

It's clear that the magic of this world is somehow connected to some creative fantasy. Or maybe the creator was based on some rumors and anecdotes he had heard when he made the fiction? ”

Batman was silent, and for a moment he seemed unable to refute it.

"I also found some rumors, but they are recorded in the museum." Shen You continued to scroll through the words in the picture, "It is recorded here that the brooch will fulfill people's deepest wishes.

If you're really affected by this thing."

"So, the changes that happened to us later were actually our wishes?"

Carla was startled, and the dumb hair on her head suddenly stood on end again.

"Well, I used to fantasize about being cool as Batman, but I didn't really want to be. Besides, if that's the case, then why did Batman become me? ”

She thought of this and suddenly seemed to be startled by one of her thoughts, and hurriedly jumped back away from Batman, looking at him with a look of disbelief.

"Could it be that you actually. Deep down in my heart, I want to wear women's clothes!? ”

At first glance, it felt ridiculous, but then she thought that Batman was an unpredictable guy, and she would never have been able to see what the other party was thinking. Running around dressed as a bat all night is already strange enough, and it seems a bit normal to be a dressing creature.

And Batman only looked at her coldly, and his voice was still unwavering: "Then how do you explain the phenomenon of Superman?" ”

Kara wilted all of a sudden.

Indeed, not only have they been swapped with each other, but Superman has also lost all his combat strength, and there is no sign of recovery at the moment. And somehow, although the old wizard exchanged her and Batman's souls back, her abilities seemed to be exchanged into each other's bodies together.

The old wizard frowned and studied for a long time, and finally spread his hands out, saying that there was no trick.

He said that this was no longer just a soul exchange spell, but some kind of higher-level and more complex magical influence. If he can't find the crux of the problem, there is nothing he can do, and the only solution is to find the person or thing that is causing the impact.

"I'll inform my colleagues on the magic side and use their intelligence network to find out where the brooch is."

At the end of the meeting, Batman said before flying away.

"Your superpowers must be retrieved as soon as possible. Especially Superman. The longer you disappear, the more detrimental it will be to the situation in the world as a whole. ”

With that, he flew away.

Yes, with flying. It looks like he doesn't need the tricks of walking on his knees and turning his head anymore, and he doesn't need hooks and gliders.

Now, Batman is faster than bullets.

This is not good news for the criminals and lunatics of Gotham.

“.”

"What?"

In the Bat Cave, Robin's eyes widened with disbelief written on his face.

"You're going to patrol on your own? I can drive a Batmobile, or a Batmobile, and I can follow you on the ground."

"You can't keep up, Robin."

Batman said indifferently wrapped in his cloak and floating in the air.

"I'm not going to stop tonight. Starting with this river, I'm going to search every corner of the city, and you can't keep up with me. ”

He didn't exaggerate and he didn't joke.

It wasn't until he got used to these superpowers, and when Superman taught him how to use each trick, that Batman realized that this was indeed what he had always needed.

So far, he has meditated, studied, and resorted to medicine, but no matter what, the body and mind still need rest, need to eat and sleep.

But not anymore. Now he can sleep 24 hours a day.

In the past, he tried to control the city by all means. Wayne Group's technology, a city-wide bat network, surveillance systems, monitoring of police, fire, and ambulance channels, as well as the non-stop rush between himself and Robin.

But even if he does this, every night he still has places that he can't inspect, crimes that he can't punish, and victims that he can't protect. Gotham was too big, and he was just a mortal.

Not anymore.

Tonight, he's going to clean up the city and give Gotham an unprecedented cleanup.

Because tonight, he's no longer mortal.

Tonight, he was able to do it.

“.”

Overnight, the topic of Gotham City, from the news media, newspapers and magazines, to people's after-dinner conversations, changed to Batman.

Suddenly enter the headquarters of the gang and force a breakthrough under the fire of a company.

This does not refer to the elusive and sneaky assassination that breaks through one after another like he used to, giving people a sense of fear in the face of ghosts.

No, not this time.

This time, the gangsters are facing outright power, as if facing a demon reborn from the ashes, and they only feel a deep sense of powerlessness that is overwhelmed by that dominance.

A company of fire bounced off him, and someone saw him pinching a rocket fired by an RPG with his bare hands and exploding in his hands.

He almost took the zero-range blast with his face, and then clapped his hands and walked out of the smoke screen. The indifferent eyes seemed to ask, is this?

There is also a group of unlucky people who are racing and about to run away, and they meet Batman who is chasing straight up from behind. The latter landed on the hood and dismantled their sports car into a pile of scraps of copper from the recycling bin with their bare hands.

On the roof of the Gotham Police Station, under the bat searchlight, Gordon leisurely lit a cigarette and spat out a smoke ring under the light.

"They say Batman is faster." He said lightly, "Say he's faster than a bullet and more powerful than an engine." ”

"Can you believe it?"

"Anyway, those twenty-five guys who can't be locked up in prison anymore believe it."

Gordon looked sideways behind him. Batman was floating in the air, illuminated by the bat lamp.

"Your new trick is amazing, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"It's hard to explain, but so far it's working." Batman said.

"I have to admit, this is the first time in Gotham Police Department's history that the phone hasn't rang all night. No one called the police, no one was fine. The rats were terrified. ”

"It should be, but it's not over."

Batman said in a deep voice.

"Usually I ignore the rats as soon as they escape from Gotham, because I don't have time to hunt them down one by one. But not anymore.

Even if they flee to the ends of the earth, I will get them back.

And now, drugs are flooding the streets of Gotham. New varieties, stronger and more addictive. Keep your people on their toes. ”

He pulled up and prepared to fly away.

"I'm going to cut it off."

At this moment, Santa Prisca Island, in a luxurious building.

Unaware of the impending disaster, Bane was holding a glass of wine and raising a glass to the guests.

"Gentlemen, respectfully for our business! To the thriving black market that makes us rich! ”
