In a forest outside of Gotham City.

A group of military vehicles stopped in front of an ancient castle courtyard surrounded by a low wall.

Looking at the dry vines entwined around the gate and the weeds around him that were taller than a person, Zhang San asked General Mack with some suspicion, "Batman?" Are you sure he's still alive? ”

The Wayne Manor, which is full of monster statues and similar to the Gothic style, doesn't look like it is inhabited, but more like a 'haunted house' that has been abandoned for a long time.

"Bruce Wayne is just retired, not dead." General Mack opened the car door and walked out.

Although Batman's identity is mysterious to ordinary people, it is not a secret in the military at all.

The soldiers who followed followed were stationed around according to the general's orders, and the three of them pushed open the iron gate and entered the courtyard where the grass was taller than a man.

"Since he retired, he has a rather eccentric personality and rarely goes out."

Before entering the castle, General Mack told the two of them what he knew.

"Gotham City can become one of the safest cities in the world, I am afraid that this Batman's 'help' is indispensable, right? You say he killed the Joker, how? ”

Zhang San was a little surprised when he heard the news, not only did Gotham City have no villains, but they were also very fucking safe!

After thinking about it, General Mack pointed to a spire above the castle and said:

He hung the stone statue from the tall building on the leg of the clown who grabbed the helicopter ladder and tried to escape, and then the clown was dragged down from the stone statue on the roof and fell to his death.

It seems to be a very familiar way to die, and Zhang San feels as if he has seen this picture somewhere.

But when General Mike called out Bruce Wayne, he felt like he had never seen Batman in front of him.

Slippers, trousers, sweater.

Untrimmed gray hair and beard and wrinkles on the face.

Is this Batman?!

It is said that it is a bad version of the housekeeper Ah Fu Zhang San believes it!

In his memory, even an older version of Bruce Wayne shouldn't have been so raunchy and casual.

So what's going on? What is the situation that makes Batman so depraved!

"Bruce, this is Zhang San from a parallel world, and he wants you to help him build a machine that can go home."

"What?"

Bruce, who was no longer young, looked puzzled, and his expression at this time seemed to have not recovered from this overly informative statement.

Parallel worlds? A machine to go home?

Half an hour passed, and Bruce, who had already roughly understood what the situation was, regretfully told Zhang San a helpless fact:

His technology hasn't been updated for a long time, probably more than ten years?

Now that everyone out there is a smartphone, Bruce is still using an old-fashioned homemade flip phone.

"It was the most powerful technology of my time."

Bruce laughed and boasted that he didn't find it a shame to use a flip phone.

The mobile phone integrates a variety of advanced technologies that have helped Batman solve a lot of troubles.

"The technology fault is a bit difficult to deal with" Zhang San didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, the retired Batman no longer upgrades his technology, and his technology is still stuck in the nineties.

"There's equipment in the Stellar Labs, maybe Bruce just needs a little time to get used to?"

Dr. Stone doesn't think this is a problem, since Batman was able to create advanced technology in the eighties and nineties, then he should also have a strong adaptability to modern technology.

"So, Bruce, you and Dr. Stone and they go to the Star Lab in Gotham to help, and I'll see if I can go and snatch Superman out, the super brain of the Kryptonian can help research the machine."

"I'll forget it, Batman is retired."

Bruce, who was lying on the couch, closed his eyes and took a nap, completely becoming a guy who lived one day at a time.

"Didn't I say before that there was a chance that there would be an alien invasion in your world? Are you still messing around like this? ”

"It's just a possibility. Besides, there is the army, they can handle it. ”

Hearing Bruce's words, General Mack's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

They can get a fart!

The alien technology in Zhang San's words is enough to crush them, do you want to take an egg to deal with the alien invaders?

Others can leave the Earth in a spaceship.

"Then I'll put it another way, you're either going to help me build a machine to get home, or I'm going to destroy Gotham City right now."

Don't be too polite to talk to the people who are rotten, Zhang San took out the time bomb he had harvested before in front of them.

Drip.

00:31

00:30

00:29

"It's a bomb made by the villains of my world to kill superheroes, and you can guess how powerful it is."

Still rotten? I blew up Gotham City, which you protected, and we'll see if you can mess up!

Bruce opened his eyes and looked at the half-section of the rocket lying on the floor, the red numbers in it bouncing towards twenty seconds.

00:25

00:24

00:23

Drip, drip, drip.

Seeing that the number was about to enter ten seconds, Dr. Stone's eyelids jumped next to him.

He spent a few dozen seconds carefully observing the time bomb inside the rocket, and if he guessed correctly, it was powerful enough to destroy most of the buildings in Gotham City.

General Mack was much calmer than him, and the man who had seen all the winds and waves knew very well that this was Zhang San's way of making Bruce sober up.

Ten seconds into the countdown, Bruce, who was lying on the couch staring at the bomb, finally spoke: "I'm still some distance from Gotham City here, and even if I blow it up, I won't blow it up over there." ”

"Forget it, let's go find Superman, this Batman doesn't care about the lives of the other two and the soldiers out there, just like the Joker."

The Spider Queen, who was sitting on Zhang San's shoulder, shook her head and patted him, as if she was really disappointed in Batman.

"You have five seconds left, and I can tell you that the bomb explosion won't kill me, and I'm going to make this world the end of the world."

The yellow-green energy protected Zhang San, who was talking, along with the spider queen, and the time to beat became less and less.

Goo-dong

Realizing that he wasn't enveloped in that two-color energy, Dr. Stone began to tense.

"Take it back."

Bruce sat up, and the half-cut rocket lying next to him disappeared to the floor in an instant.

He stretched out a finger and pointed at the little guy on Zhang San's shoulder and said, "I can never be a clown, never." ”

In an underground bat cave.

I don't know how long it has been a long time, there are a lot of cobwebs on the console, and a cloth-covered batmobile is parked on a round platform with a circle of lights in the huge underground fortification.

Looking down, the raging water formed a waterfall that flowed into the bottomless abyss

"Be careful, don't fall."

Zhang San, who was standing next to the Batmobile, reminded the two people on the edge of the round platform that Batman didn't even have a guardrail in such a dangerous place.
