Tim Drake.

Robin, the third generation of the Bat family, is also Red Robin, and in the comics, he has been friends with the original Robin Dick since childhood, and he is also a witness to the murder of Dick's parents.

After Jason's death, Batman's style of behavior begins to become tyrannical, and his methods of criminals become more and more ruthless, at this time, Tim realizes that Batman cannot live without Robin, and someone around him must remind him to stay normal.

With this in mind, Tim sets out to find Dick and convinces him to return to Batman as Robin so that he can continue to help Batman.

But at that time, Dick had already become Nightwing, and often acted with the members of the Titans, he was unwilling to put down his work, and only agreed to talk to Batman as Nightwing.

The final result was naturally unhappy, there was no way, once when Batman was in trouble, Tim angrily put on Robin's uniform and incarnated as a new generation of Robin to help Batman.

After that, even though Batman repeatedly emphasized that he didn't need Robin, slowly, Batman gradually accepted this young man with potential and recognized his identity as Robin.

It seems that the development of this universe is still beyond his imagination, and Zhang Yu was originally curious about which Robin Bruce Wayne would find, but now it seems that this is directly skipping Dick and Jason.

If you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, many villains such as the Joker have been killed, and it is naturally difficult to have a picture of Jason's death.

Today's Gotham, or today's Batman, needs Tim, a kind and sincere Robin.

And this is still a Tim who has not been blackened.

Sending the ratcatcher to the Gotham police station, Zhang Yu walked all the way to accompany Tim in the direction of the bat cave.

On the way, the two also chatted about the rat catcher.

"Actually, the rat catcher is also a poor man, so let's help him find his missing wife and daughter during this time, which may be able to make him change his mind."

"We started to investigate from the beginning, but there were so many forces involved in the case that the rat catcher was sent in for the crime, and his wife and daughter disappeared overnight, and we can't determine their location after so much time."

Tim shook his head and sighed. "We can't even be sure if they're still alive, and I'm a little bit unskilled except for the rat catchers who have recently popped up with a lot of criminals."

"Oh?" I didn't expect that Gotham has become so lively now, Zhang Yu asked curiously. "What other supercriminals are named?"

"Fireflies, Mudfaces, Werewolves, Stealths"

Tim was quick to respond and listed a whole bunch of supervillain names.

"In addition to them, a whole gang of gangsters and a secret organization called the Owl Court have popped up, in short, it's troublesome."

It sounds like Gotham is really back to the 'top' now, not only are super criminals popping up one by one, but even the Owl Court has appeared.

It is estimated that this is also one of the butterfly effects caused by General Zod's defeat, and Gotham has been in a state of peace before, even if there is evil, but it is also in the shadows.

And now that the earth has confirmed the existence of aliens, and one superhuman after another has appeared, it seems that the owl court hidden under Gotham can't sit still.

Thinking about it, old Bruce Wayne can't be idle, this owl court is a difficult opponent.

"How long have you been Robin?" Zhang Yu continued to ask, and wanted to judge where the current timeline is.

Hearing Zhang Yu's question, Tim didn't know whether he should open his mouth or not, he was talking about some things about super criminals before, but now that he asked his head, he was also a little hesitant.

Although he knew that the person in front of him was his own person, and he seemed to be an old acquaintance with Batman, Tim didn't believe this person 100% yet.

There was silence for a moment, but finally he sighed. "It's been more than half a year, and this is the first time I've acted alone."

"It's been more than half a year."

Silently calculated, from raising a talented young man to become Robin, to now letting Tim be alone, it will take a few years, to say the least.

It seems that this time, he has come to at least three years after the war with Zod, and I don't know how little Barry Allen is now, whether he has mastered the speed force.

Realizing that Tim had always been faintly wary of himself, Zhang Yu didn't ask anything more, but silently moved towards the Bat Cave.

Anyway, when he met Bruce Wayne Sr., everything would be explained, and at that point, Tim would no longer distrust himself.

Arriving near Wayne Manor, Zhang Yu took the lead in walking towards the dense forest, which is one of the entrances to the Bat Cave, and Zhang Yu's actions are also to dispel Tim's suspicions.

Sure enough, after seeing Zhang Yu in the same state as he was going home, Tim gradually relieved himself, at least this is enough to prove that the other party is indeed a friend of Batman, and a friend who is even familiar with the Batcave.

In this case, Tim was even more curious, since there was such a person, why he had never heard Bruce say it before.

All the way to the bat cave, Zhang Yu saw the old man sitting on a chair drinking coffee at first glance.

Seeing his old friend again, Zhang Yu's calm face finally showed a smile.

"Last time, goodbye, it's a lot of life, Bruce."

Looking at the young people of the year who are now quite mature, the old Bruce Wayne also has some emotion. "yes, I thought I'd never get a chance to see you again."

Seeing that old Bruce Wayne was still holding the shelf, Zhang Yu didn't say a word and went up to a hug, after going through so much, maybe only the first two universes could bring Zhang Yu the most intimate feeling.

Maybe in Bruce Wayne's eyes, Zhang Yu has only been away for a few years, but on Zhang Yao's side, he hasn't seen this old man for decades.

"I want to eat the lo mein you made."

Bruce Wayne, who was about to say something, was choked by Zhang Yu's words and rolled his eyes.

"That's called pasta."

"Italian lo mein." Zhang Yu smiled.

The feeling of the year came back again, and Bruce Wayne's eyes calmed down when he looked at Zhang Yu, who was playing with treasure.

At this moment, he could be sure that the person in front of him was the person back then.

"Wait."

With a non-salty and non-trivial sentence, Bruce Wayne pushed Zhang Shun away, turned around and walked towards the secret passage to Fort Wayne.

It didn't take long for Bruce Wayne to put three plates of noodles on the table, and he also took out a few bottles of wine by the way.

Zhang Yu sat with Tim, who had already changed into his suit, enjoying this hard-won supper.

It was definitely not easy for Tim, because he had been here for so long, and it was the first time he had seen Bruce Wayne Sr. cook himself, and he had obviously cooked before.

"What about Carla and the silver-haired boy, why didn't they come?" Old Bruce Wayne uncorked the bottle, poured himself a glass of wine, and then looked at Zhang Yu.

"They, they are now living in the wasteland, and after we left here, we found a civilized earth, where it is inconvenient to do anything, but now it is peaceful." Zhang Yu replied casually.

But when these words were in Bruce Wayne's ears, they were like thunder.

"The Earth of Civilization? What happened, nuclear war. ”

In his prediction, the only possibility that the civilization of the earth can be broken is a nuclear war, which will eventually lead to the entire earth being covered in radiation, and only then will it be called a 'wasteland'.

"Pretty much." Speaking of this, Zhang Yu sighed.

"That earth has been taken over by supervillains, and there was an ultimate battle there, and all the supervillains joined forces to wage war against the superheroes.

In the case of being familiar with the abilities of superheroes, coupled with the passive response of the heroes, it eventually led to a great victory for the villains, who almost wiped out all the superheroes and divided the entire world. ”

"How is this possible!?"

Before Bruce Wayne Sr. could speak, Tim on the side couldn't help but exclaim.

In the eyes of this fledgling teenager, heroes are invincible beings, and he can't imagine that one day heroes will actually fail, and let the villains divide the world.

But Bruce Wayne didn't say anything, and after the events of General Zod, no one was able to understand the many diversity of the universe better than him.

At the same time, no one knows better than him that heroes also mean that they will fail.

"And then?" Old Bruce Wayne looked at Zhang Yu.

"By the time we arrived, the world had been ruled by supervillains for forty years, and those guys didn't know how to manage the world, which led to chaos and moral decay in the wasteland.

As the leader, those villains are immersed in the victory of the year, drunk and dreaming of death every day, Pietro and Kara and I have gathered some people to overthrow the rule of those villains and rebuild the wasteland. ”

Regarding the wasteland, Zhang Yu brushed aside most of the difficulties, after all, there are too many things happening there, and it is really necessary to cover all aspects, and it is estimated that he may not be able to finish it in three days and three nights.

And old Bruce Wayne also heard that Zhang Yu had something to hide, presumably their experience in the wasteland was far from being as simple as Zhang Yu's mouth.

"Wait a while, it'll settle down a bit, and I'll pick up Petro and Carla back when the time comes." Zhang Yu smiled and continued.

"By the way, Pietro has now found a little girlfriend, and Carla has also found her brother from another parallel universe, so you can meet you too."

Hearing this, old Bruce Wayne also smiled, after experiencing despair, there is nothing more happy than being happy.

Raising his glass, Bruce Wayne Sr. gestured to Zhang Yu.

"They deserve it."
