Gotham, the oldest city in the United States. Its history is older than the history of the United States. Legend has it that after the first colonists came here, they cleared out the indigenous residents living here and built on their graves.
A town named Gotham was born.
Since then, the city has seemed to be cursed, with prosperity and evil always taking over the city alternately. The night sky here is always overcast, and weird Gothic buildings stand tall. Under the superficial glitz,
, dark alleys hide dirt and evil.
This is Gotham City, one of the cities with the highest crime rate in the United States.
When Bruce returned here, not long time passed. He had obviously stayed in a different world for several months, but when he returned here, less than a day passed.
So Gotham is still the same Gotham, always gloomy, as if it will rain at any time, without any change.
Some people say that there are only two kinds of weather in Gotham, one is cloudy and the other is rainy. It is as if the sun hates it here. But the gloomy Gotham is not as gloomy as its weather. On the contrary, it is always lively here.
It is a scene full of vitality and everything is in full swing.
The major gangs control the streets and alleys of the city, and the rich and big companies hide behind the gangs to plunder the huge profits made in the city.
Bruce's Wayne family also exists in this way. A long time ago, when Wayne's father was a child, the Wayne family joined forces with three other big families to control Gotham. They controlled everything in Gotham. Wayne
The fundamental reason why the family has become the largest financial group in the world is due to the family's early plunder of Gotham.
Although the four major families have disappeared to this day, this pattern of plundering has not changed at all.
There is still no hope for this city!
The upper class is rich, corrupt and greedy. The lower class people have no hope. The way for the lower class people to change their destiny is no longer through hard work and knowledge, but by joining the gang... Bruce's father, Thomas Wayne, once wanted to change this situation.
, he spent huge sums of money to bring the best universities, the best urban transportation, and the best energy system to Gotham.
But unfortunately, it all ended in a seemingly accidental shooting in an alley.
This is the end of Thomas' transformation of Gotham.
Gotham is still Gotham.
Until Bruce became Batman, the Wayne family once again stood at the forefront of the city's struggle.
Only this time, Bruce used a different method than Thomas.
Bruce knew that Thomas failed entirely because he saw everything too simply. He thought that if he brought hope to the city, the city would change, but in fact, there were too many people, and
I don’t want this city to get better.
These people included corrupt officials, rich people, gangsters, and police. It can be said that except Thomas, no one wanted the city to be out of their control. So Thomas died.
Bruce struggled for a while with the truth about his parents' murder.
He wants revenge.
As a result, he met the Falcone family, an Italian mafia family who came to Rome. Their godfather was Carmine Falcone, a famous traditional gangster in Gotham City.
One of the ringleaders, whose nickname "The Roman" comes from the ruthless way he built his criminal empire.
Young Bruce, thinking Falcone had killed his parents, found him and planned to assassinate him with a revolver.
Of course, the assassination failed.
Bruce was caught and faced with Bruce's angry questioning.
Falcone did not hurt Bruce, but just discussed with him how Thomas died.
Falcone tells Bruce that he was not the one who killed Thomas.
But he also had a share.
Everyone in this city has a share!
No one wants to see the Gotham that Thomas promotes appear. So everyone wants Thomas to die.
As for who killed Thomas... Falcone thought he should know, but unfortunately, he didn't know.
But it's not bad either.
It was the city that murdered Thomas!
So when Bruce returns, he uses his own way to save Gotham.
If you want to truly save this city, you must first crack down on corrupt officials, the wealthy class who control most of the city's resources, as well as the police and gangsters who work together as gangsters!
Only if they converge, can real hope have soil to grow!
At the same time, he wants to inject something new into the numb Gotham people, and this thing is called courage!
The courage to resist!
Batman is not a human being. Behind his mask is not flesh and blood, but a belief!
A simple belief.
Only when people no longer need Batman can they resist tyranny, then Batman will no longer need to exist.
Bruce is adamant about this.
"Master?" Alfred's voice suddenly appeared in Bruce's headset.
"Afu." Bruce's calm and emotionless voice made Alfred almost cry.
“It’s great that you’re okay! It’s great!:
The moment the Mother Box was destroyed, everyone present was fine, except for Bruce.
This caught everyone in the Justice League off guard. They had no idea what happened. They were still discussing what happened and trying to find Bruce's whereabouts, but Bruce's signal appeared in Gotham.
"Why would you..."
"We'll discuss this later. Start the Batmobile. I saw Mr. Freeze. I need to deal with it and then go home."
"Ah... Mr. Freeze is still committing crimes at this time?" Ah Fu was a little confused.
Although the arrival of Steppenwolf did not cause much damage, everyone around the world knows that the battle between the Justice League and Steppenwolf will determine the future of the entire world. Everyone is anxiously waiting for the outcome of the matter.
The Justice League was discussing Bruce's safety and did not immediately announce the outcome of the battle.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So everyone is still waiting.
Mr. Freeze committed a crime at this time...it was a really good time.
It caught everyone off guard.
…
About two hours later, Bruce drove his Batman chariot back to the Batcave.
Also waiting here are everyone from the Justice League.
"Bruce, you're really slow." Barry had been impatient for a long time. As the Flash, he was a bit impatient.
"I need to get Victor admitted, you know, bureaucracy."
"I thought Arkham would be different. After all, they always treat serious criminals."
Arkham Asylum was formerly known as Arkham General Hospital. During the construction period, the architect of the hospital went crazy for no apparent reason and hacked his workers to death. From then on, this poor place began to become unfortunate. It always became unfortunate.
Some weird things happen, such as normal patients checking in and turning out crazy.
I don’t know since when, no one, or no normal people, went to this hospital. Later, it was simply converted into a mental hospital. After that, this place became more and more mysterious, often imprisoning some extremely dangerous mentally ill people.
patient.
It's a bit like "St. Elizabeth's Hospital" in the real world.
You can understand it as the "Abnormal Human Research Center" in the world of Batman, where most of the prisoners are extremely dangerous and highly intelligent criminals. It can be said that almost all the well-known villains in Gotham will eventually be killed by the Bat.
The heroes were personally delivered here. Including the famous "Joker", "Harley Quinn", "Bane", "Penguin", "Two-Face", "The Riddler", "Scarecrow", "Poison Ivy"
"Girl", "Mr. Freeze", "Killer Croc", "Clayface", "Mad Hatter", etc. It can be said that the stars are shining brightly.
According to incomplete statistics, the most popular person in this place is Batman. The criminals he sent alone almost filled more than half of Arkham Asylum.
After so many extremely vicious and not normal people were imprisoned.
Instead, it became the most heavily defended place in Gotham.
As for prison... for those super villains, prison is similar to a sanatorium. Not only will they not be punished, they will even develop more younger brothers in prison. Every time those super criminals are imprisoned, there will be riots in the prison.
And more criminals join the ranks of super criminals to increase their strength.
Moreover, for these guys, getting in and out of prison is as easy as entering and exiting their home. The corruption of the judiciary makes prison meaningless except becoming a hell for the poor. How many super villains are poor?
Rather than doing this, it would be better to be imprisoned in Arkham.
After all, the forensic appraisal cannot change the medical appraisal.
After all, the judicial authorities have no way of verifying whether a person is really crazy or fake. But if a doctor says a patient is crazy, then he is a crazy person.
This greatly reduces the possibility of corruption.
Many criminals who like to use their mental state to get away with their crimes feel very uncomfortable about this.
"Mr. Freeze...it's really hard to believe that this guy is actually a model worker. The hospital must be demanding payment again." Barry shrugged.
Mr. Freeze, whose real name is Victor Freese, was originally a cryogenic scientist. Because his beloved wife Nora was terminally ill, he used high-tech devices to freeze her to suspend her life and study her treatment.
method, but suddenly one day the company that funded Victor's research wanted to interrupt the experiment due to personal interests, and had a conflict with Victor who wanted to stop them in the laboratory, thus causing a leak of gas from the freezing equipment in the house.
This accident changed the cell structure of Victor's body, turning his whole body into a cold-blooded constitution. His body temperature must always be kept below zero to survive, and he would die at normal room temperature. For this reason, he created a set of cryogenic armor.
As well as various frozen weapons, he transformed into "Mr. Freeze".
After that, Mr. Freeze began to work hard to save his wife.
He is not a vicious person, everything he does is for his wife. If he wants to maintain his wife's frozen state, resurrect her, and cure her terminal illness, a lot of money is needed. So in order to get the most out of it
To obtain Mr. Freeze quickly, he had to embark on a criminal path.
The most he does is serve other criminals as a mercenary.
Mr. Freeze is actually a very cultured person, not as crazy as other criminals. He prefers to discuss religion, culture, philosophy, psychology and many other topics with Batman who is under his control. He can hardly speak at ordinary times.
Mr. Freeze seems to be very talkative in front of Batman. Is it because he respects his opponent or because he sees a similar shadow in Batman. In the end, Mr. Freeze is just an ordinary man trapped by love. What he freezes is just
For his love for his wife, the only purpose of doing this is probably to keep his wife's presence and bring back the love he once had.
Bruce nodded: "If he wants to maintain his wife in such an extreme state, he needs a lot of funds. But he won't need it in the future."
Ah Fu was startled when he heard this: "Could it be that we can't hold on anymore?"
Regarding Mr. Freeze's wife, both the good and the bad guys in Gotham actually know about it. But no one will touch her. Because everyone knows that the only person in the world who can tie Mr. Freeze up is his wife. Once she
If something goes wrong, Mr. Freeze will go crazy.
No one wants to face a crazy Mr. Freeze.
He will really drag the entire Gotham into the Ice Age. No matter which side is affected by that time, all interests will be harmed.
It would be better for everyone to just let his wife stay like that.
After all, it is precisely because Mr. Freeze has such concerns that Mr. Freeze's reputation in the dark world has always been very good. Everyone believes that this guy will not violate the contract.
"No." Bruce took off his equipment, revealing a pair of regular clothes, but Ah Fu keenly noticed that these were not the clothes he prepared for his young master. Bruce is Batman, and Ah Fu is the butler, responsible for
Everything Bruce doesn’t do, or won’t do, including eating, drinking, and eating.
Without Afu, Bruce couldn't even take care of himself.
But Ah Fu still didn't ask.
Bruce may hide anything from the world, but he will never hide it from Alfred.
"It's just that this can't continue like this. Sooner or later, this approach will bring down Victor and bring disaster to Gotham. This situation needs to change." Bruce continued: "Aren't you all curious about me all day?
Where did you go?"
Others also looked over.
"I went to a very interesting parallel world."
"Parallel world?" Everyone else was shocked.
Bruce didn't hide anything and told them everything he saw and heard in that world.
"Is there really a parallel world? It's incredible." Cyborg said enviously: "I want to see it too."
"It probably won't work." Bruce said: "Before I left, I heard from the superheroes over there that they had planned to seal off the entire timeline to prevent being discovered by other parallel times and spaces. I guess there is no chance of going there again."
Clark nodded, he was also worried about the crisis that Bruce described that might sweep across multiple parallel universes.
"I see, you got new technology over there, that's why..." Clark did not forget the original topic.
"Yes, maybe we also need a little change. We can win over all the people we can win over. At least we won't let them do evil. For example, Mr. Excitement, he is an excellent scientist, but he only went like this for his wife.
Road. What if I am sure to help his wife?"
"Can you cure his wife?"
"There is no way, but I can keep her wife in her current state without spending a huge amount of money to maintain it." Bruce said.
Bruce brought back some gifts, such as dragon bone extract.
But this thing is not a panacea.
At least there is no way to treat cancer, and it may even cause cancer to spread and metastasize. After all, this thing is pure vitality and will stimulate cancer cells.
So he still has nothing to do about Mr. Freeze's wife's strange illness for the time being, but if he just maintains the status quo, Bruce will have no problem, it's very simple, and he doesn't need so much money.
In this way, Mr. Freeze doesn't need to commit crimes.
This is also the reason why Mr. Freeze served his sentence conscientiously.
