Schiller walked into the classroom and closed the door with his hand. Seeing his figure, Dick struggled hard twice, and his mouth sealed by the tape said "Hmm" twice, as if he wanted to talk to Schiller.
Schiller said something, but Schiller couldn't understand it at all.
"This impostor is pretending to be me and wants to pick Dick up from school." Batman standing on the left said.
"You kidnapped Dick, and you wanted to disguise yourself as me to confuse the public." The Batman on the right looked at the other Batman with a serious face and said.
Not only are the two Batmans identical in appearance, body shape, and equipment, they even have the same tone and demeanor when speaking.
When the two Batmans turned their attention to Schiller, Schiller felt his head begin to hurt. He was really afraid that the two Batmans would say in unison, "I'm going back to write my thesis."
According to common sense, when the real Batman meets an impostor, he should not talk so much nonsense with him and just take action directly, because he simply does not believe that there is another person in the world pretending to be an impostor.
When you do Him, you can surpass Him.
But the problem is, there is Dick in this room, and the fake Batman is sure that this will make the real Batman take advantage of him. The real Batman will definitely be worried that if he takes action directly, the opponent will jump over the wall, and may do anything to hurt Dick.
And Dick is now tied up, unable to hide, and he is very young and physically fragile. Once he is seriously injured, Batman may regret it.
To put it bluntly, this is a trap for the fake Batman, using Dick to force the real Batman to play a game of who is real and who is fake, so that he cannot break the rules with violence and can only rely on the judgment of others.
However, the fake Batman didn't expect that it was Schiller who came.
In his plan, his teammate Black Mask will hold Gordon back for a while and let him complete the plan to kidnap Dick, but then Black Mask will pretend to be defeated and escape again. After escaping, he will leave clues.
Let Gordon come here to distinguish the true from the false.
The fake Batman is confident that Gordon's judgment will be wrong.
When the time comes, he will kill Dick in front of Batman and tell him that even his most trusted friends and comrades-in-arms don't understand him at all, and Dick's death is what he pays for his usual arrogance.
cost.
At the same time, when Gordon makes a judgment, he will definitely ask a lot of questions. If he finally chooses a fake, does it mean that there is someone in this world who is more suitable to be Batman than Batman? Isn't it also true?
Does this mean that Batman is not good enough and should be replaced?
In this world, the ultimate goal of every criminal who targets Batman is to cause Batman to have a mental breakdown.
But at this time, the situation changed. It was Schiller who came here, which made the fake Batman feel a little nervous.
He understood that this professor was not easy to fool, so he went through all the questions he thought the other person might ask again in his mind, as well as the answers he got through long-term tracking and observation of Batman.
Unexpectedly, Schiller said nothing. He stood there and sighed deeply, and then began to look around.
Just when he turned to look at the blackboard, he found what he wanted. Schiller quickly walked to the table next to the podium, where there was a telephone.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number, and then said to the other side: "Hello? Are you free now? Batman wants to invite you to play a game, can you come over?"
Schiller changed the phone to another hand and said: "Wait! Don't leave in a hurry! I think you need a gorgeous enough debut! Yes, it's best to give Batman a big surprise, like
That's what you're good at."
After hanging up the phone, Schiller came to the opposite side of the two Batmans, stretched out a hand towards Batman, then spread out five fingers, and then slowly brought the little finger and thumb together, leaving only
He held up three fingers and said: "Three..."
Both Batmans showed a look of confusion.
"You mean, there's a third Batman?"
"Are you saying that there are four of us here, and three of them are true?"
"Two, one..."
"Bang! Bang!"
"Batman!! Your good friend the Joker is here!! How about it?! Is it a surprise enough?! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!"
The clown Jack broke in through the window and directly threw the Batman on the left to the ground. The clown rode on Batman and strangled his neck.
"boom!"
Gunshots suddenly rang out. Batman, who was not knocked down by the Joker, lowered his head and looked at his chest where he was shot. Then he raised his head again and looked in disbelief at Schiller who was raising his gun to shoot.
Schiller actually discovered that bullets from ordinary pistols did not cause much damage to the fake Batman. Although his fake Batsuit was not as protective as the real Batman Batsuit, it still had a certain degree of protection.
Bulletproof effect.
However, Schiller did not continue to raise the gun and shoot, but allowed the fake Batman to jump out of the window and escape. In fact, when the fake Batman took two steps back, Schiller discovered that one of his legs might be a prosthetic limb.
.
In other words, it was this fake Batman who got punched by Harley that day.
As for his identity, Schiller actually has some speculations. In the comics, there is a villain who is obsessed with Batman and wants to have plastic surgery to look like him, and that is Silence.
What made Schiller even more sure of this was the figure of this fake Batman. This was not the first time Schiller had seen him.
Silence's real name is Thomas Elliot. Yes, it's the Thomas who committed a murder in Bruce's dormitory when Lex Luthor first came to Gotham University.
After the case came to light, Thomas was almost incapacitated because Victor's freezing liquid was poured all over his body. Fortunately, Gordon contacted Victor to save him in order to bring him to court.
Afterwards, Thomas was accused of murder and imprisoned in Gotham Prison, which later became Blackgate Prison. But this time, he appeared again, presumably escaping from prison.
It’s also very interesting to say that the settings of Silence and Black Mask are very similar. Regardless of family background, experience and goals, they are almost carved from the same mold.
Both of them come from Gotham's wealthy families, one from Sionis and the other from Elliot.
Both of them caused accidents and murdered their parents. Black Mask caused a fire, and Silence caused a car accident.
Both of them embarked on the road of crime because they were jealous of Bruce Wayne. What's more interesting is that it took many years for both of them to finally discover that Batman was Bruce Wayne.
However, perhaps it was precisely because serial killers communicated more frequently, and Schiller also published a paper on Batman that allowed the two to guess Batman's true identity in advance.
Villains with very similar experiences actually unite and formulate a conspiracy plan to defeat Batman.
Apparently, the death of Dr. Richard at Wayne Hospital was the beginning.
The two teamed up to commit the murder and hid in the hospital almost at the same time. Because they committed the crime in Wayne Hospital, the owner of the hospital, Bruce Wayne, would definitely be there. They stayed there just to observe.
Bruce's reaction.
Among the two, Thomas was most likely responsible for the pre-crime investigation, and his actions were not rigorous enough. He was discovered by Harley, a nurse at Wayne Hospital. Harley had planned it and gave him a shovel, causing injuries to one of his legs.
Very serious injuries.
Fortunately, he still had an accomplice. Roman rescued Thomas and took him to the base. After emergency treatment, he was transferred overnight.
At the same time, in order to make Batman believe that their target was not him, Schiller's photo was deliberately left behind, hoping to mislead Batman into thinking that this was a serial murder case with a doctor as the theme.
Both of them know that Schiller is Batman's teacher and is very important to Batman. They believe that once Batman knows that his teacher is being targeted by a serial killer, he will definitely try to protect him and neglect to do anything to him.
Protect others around you so that they have a chance to succeed.
But that alone won't work. They have to create a trolley problem so that if Batman saves one, he won't be able to save the other.
Among them, Roman, also known as Black Mask, pretended to be exposed because of Batman and Schiller's ignorance. He was then taken away by Gordon and entered the detention room of the Gotham Police Department as a prisoner, thus being able to bypass the police.
The astonishing density of firepower at the entrance of the bureau enables a breakthrough from within.
On the other side, Thomas, who had successfully undergone plastic surgery and became exactly the same as Bruce Wayne, took out the disguised Batman costume that he had prepared long ago, came to Dick's school, found Dick, and kidnapped him.
When the real Batman arrives, Dick is used as a threat to prevent Batman from subduing him with violence, thereby misleading Batman's friends' judgment and allowing him to break through the defense.
Schiller is right, these serial killers like to engage in these complicated conspiracies and plans. If they don't circle around one thing five or six times, perform three or four scenes, and bring seven or eight people into the game, it seems like they will appear.
It's like I'm not smart enough.
Of course, Schiller's response is also very simple. He doesn't need to know which Batman is real, the Joker just knows.
In fact, the Joker doesn't need to know which Batman is the real one. The one he hits when he makes his grand entrance is 100% the real Batman.
Schiller, who was standing in front of the window, saw that the fake Batman escaped too hastily and failed to grasp the grappling hook tightly. He fell directly from the height of the third floor and his prosthetic leg was broken.
What's more serious is that there is also a problem with the bones at the connection point between the prosthetic limb and the limb. If nothing goes wrong, he may lose the leg completely.
Schiller ignored the clown and Batman who were struggling together. He walked to Dick's side, but did not help him untie the rope. Instead, he rolled his eyelids and checked his mental state. He did not forget that Dick
His mental state is abnormal and he may have been hypnotized.
Schiller did not believe that Black Mask and Silence had the ability to hypnotize Dick. I am afraid that someone else had done something to Dick.
However, after thinking about it, Schiller still did not directly treat Dick. After all, since Bruce had planned to train Dick and regard him as his adopted son, then the relationship between the two of them had to pass through such a threshold.
It's better to let Bruce solve this problem himself.
Schiller first let the gray mist knock Dick out, gave him some Valium, and then drove him back to Wayne Manor and handed him over to Alfred.
When Batman finished fighting the Joker and limped back to the bedroom in Wayne Manor to check on Dick's condition, he found a bottle of wine on the bedside table and a note under the bottle.
"This is crazy wine, you can use it to communicate with Dick, go into his heart and have a good talk with him - Schiller."
