Chapter 32: Batman
Gotham City, like Metropolis, is a unique city in the DC Universe, located in New Jersey on the east coast of the Eagle Country, across the sea from Metropolis.
Gotham City is a very 'inclusive' city, and its architectural style gathers almost most countries in the world, not only in the style of famous European cities such as New York, Los Angeles, London, and Sydney, but also in the style of national style and Japanese style.
However, it is such a city of scenic spots, but it is shrouded in clouds that cannot be dispersed all the year round, and under the glitz of the surface, there is a cruel sin hidden in the dark alley, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is splendid and ruined.
Gangsters, criminals, Frankenstein, madmen, everything you can imagine will play out in Gotham, which is Gotham City, the city with the highest crime rate in the world.
However, just as the metropolis has Superman's guardianship, Gotham City also has its own dark guardian, Batman.
Ostensibly a playboy who secretly incarnates as a bat vigilante, every time the light of the bat lamp breaks through the sky, the criminals of Gotham will fall into fear, because they know that the vengeful ghost has come, and he will take the form of a bat to punish all the evil in the city.
He has no superpowers, he is not superhuman, he only relies on his years of hard training and excellent intelligence, he single-handedly challenges the evil of the whole of Gotham City, he is Batman, in the eyes of most people, he is even just a story, an urban legend.
Batman's real identity is Bruce Wayne, the owner of the Wayne Group, who has been battling sin all his life, but in this universe, Bruce Sr. has been retired for a long time.
Zhang Yu and Pietro took a taxi, from the Met, all the way across Gotham City to Wayne Manor, on the way, Zhang Yu's heart fell into a state of unpeace, he looked at this city that does not need Batman to guard, the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated.
Bruce Wayne has retired, and the city doesn't need Batman anymore, because Gotham City has become one of the safest cities in the world at this time.
And the reason is that the Batman of this world did not enforce the principle of not killing, nor did he send criminals to the police station or Arkham Asylum, he directly killed those criminals!
What clowns, riddlers, two-faced people like crazy people, what black masks, owl courts, assassin alliances like forces, and what human bats, killer crocodiles, supernatural monsters like Solomon Grandi.
One counts as one, in Gotham, which is known as Vice City, any criminal who can be called a name cannot escape Batman's punishment, and they all died directly or indirectly at the hands of Batman.
And this is also the reason why Gotham has changed from being full of sin to being excellent in law and order.
True to the old adage - if you kill all the criminals, there will be no more criminals in the city.
Looking at Wayne Manor, which was getting closer and closer, Zhang Yu couldn't help but shake his head slightly, judging from Batman's actions and results, this is not a normal universe at all, and this universe has obviously come to the brink of collapse.
It's not that Batman can't kill people, it's just that all this has obviously been separated from the vast majority of the development of the universe, if this is not a universe destined for destruction, Zhang Yu believes that the Batman of this universe will become a villain after killing all the villains.
You may not even need to kill all the villains, you only need to kill a clown or a riddler, choose one of the two, and the death of either of these two people at the hands of Batman can plant the seeds of blackening in Batman's heart.
"When I get to the sir, there is a private territory in front of me, and I can't go in." The taxi stopped at the gate of Wayne Manor, and the driver turned around with a smile.
Although he didn't know why these two children ran all the way from the Metropolis to Gotham, he knew that the people who could come to Wayne Manor were not ordinary people, although it had been abandoned for a long time, and the old guys in it had not come forward for a long time, but the Wayne Group was still a very prestigious and wealthy enterprise.
"Thank you." Zhang Yu nodded, and took out a large handful of cash from his arms, which was all Pietro's 'labor income', and he didn't know how much money he gave over, anyway, judging from the smile on the driver's face, he must have made a lot of money.
After getting out of the car and watching the taxi disappear on the road, Zhang Yu turned around and nodded at Pietro, and then he climbed onto Pietro's back.
"By the way, Zhang, this manor is so big, which house are we looking for?" Pietro looked inside from the gate and saw only one magnificent castle after another.
"The one in the middle, this gate is too high, you need to run all the way against gravity, but in order to be careful, let's go to the gate of the castle, although the old bat is retired, we can't guarantee that there will be no one"
Whoosh –
"Traps." As soon as there was a flower in front of him, Zhang Yu only felt that his body trembled quickly, and then he had already arrived at the door of the ancient castle, and beside him, Pietro was looking at him with a smile.
"What's next? Are we going to ring the doorbell? Petro pointed to the old-fashioned doorbell at the door.
Giving Pietro a blank look, Zhang Yu didn't answer, but walked directly to the door and rang the doorbell of the Wayne Building.
Obviously, no one has been patronized here for a long time, and even a layer of dust has fallen on the button of the doorbell, Zhang Yu rubbed it with his two fingers a few times after pressing the doorbell, and waited for the response from inside while getting the dust off his fingertips.
After about five or six minutes, the castle was still unusually quiet, and there was no feedback inside, as if it had been uninhabited for a long time.
"It won't be anyone." Pietro spoke.
"No, it shouldn't be at this point in time, Bruce Wayne is in it." Zhang Yu licked his somewhat dry lips, and then he looked up and saw the flashing red light above the door.
Taking two steps back, putting his body in the middle of the surveillance, Zhang Yu raised his head and looked directly at the surveillance, and said word by word.
"Bruce Wayne, I know you're here, I know you can see me, the world needs your help, I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about, so, can you open the door and talk?"
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, the atmosphere immediately quieted down, Zhang Yu calmly looked at the surveillance, he knew that Bruce would definitely open the door, because from the time the two arrived at the gate of Wayne Manor, they were already under surveillance, and Pietro's high-speed movement would naturally be seen by Bruce.
And a capable person comes to the door, which means that there must be important things to discuss, and it also means that the seriousness of the matter is very great.
So even if Batman has retired, he will not sit idly by and hang the two of them outside, because he is Batman.
It seems to prove Zhang Yu's idea.
Click.
The gates of Fort Wayne opened, and a completely raunchy old man opened them with a look of great impatience.
"The second surprise of the day, I'm so 'so happy', come in boys."
