The night in Gotham is still deep and cold, with countless killing screams and blood rippling through the city. The brilliant neon light is like a fragile shell, covering up the coat of civilization, and the cold spotlights sway in the sky.
Only separated by a river, the brightly lit high-rise buildings and the crowded and chaotic slums faced each other in the distance. When the ecstatic drizzle fell, all the outlines collapsed as if they were being dissolved.
In that city wrapped in thin lines of rain, a bright light suddenly lit up, and the iconic bat pattern became the only thing that did not waver in the wind and rain.
The dark figure standing at the highest point of Gotham jumped down, and the frightening figure was reflected in the mirror-like water in the puddles on the street.
"Diwu-diwu-diwu-"
Sharp sirens sounded at the end of the street, and the lights of the police cars looked extremely coquettish in the darkness. Gordon led several police officers and rushed out. He pulled out the pistol on his waist and pointed the gun at the man wearing a strange mask in the bank.
people said.
"Black Mask! Put the gun down and raise your hands!"
The robber, known as the Black Mask, was wearing a black jacket and a skull-shaped black mask that covered his entire face. He was holding a pistol and, together with several gangsters, was shouting at the bank teller who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands.
Little scream.
"Boss, there are at least twenty of them here. In addition to the bank staff, the hostages in their hands are also two ladies and three gentlemen who came here to withdraw money, and even a five-year-old little girl. She is very unhappy.
Easy to handle.”
Gordon turned his head and looked seriously at the police officer who was delivering the message, and then said to him: "Are the snipers in place?"
"They have been in place for a long time, but the place they chose is very unfavorable for our sniper operators. We haven't found a good sniper position yet."
"Black Mask is much more cunning than other robbers, otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive in Gotham to this day. Don't worry, let the negotiators hold him back first. The Batlight is on, and Batman will be here soon."
The police officers were ordered to leave. Gordon narrowed his eyes and stared at the arrogant robbers inside. His face was very serious, but there was no trace of anger. It seemed more like he was trying to think of countermeasures.
But the current scene is almost unsolvable for the Gotham Police Department. The crime location chosen by Black Mask is an old-fashioned bank, located on the old street on the east side of Gotham City. The buildings here are generally low, and there are no tall buildings. The old-fashioned buildings
The windows are too small and some have very wide wooden frames, so snipers cannot find a good sniping position.
Black Mask should have followed the parents with their children all the way here. The hostages in their hands were too fragile, and the police did not dare to act rashly. Now, the only one who can break this deadlock is Batman.
Suddenly, a loud "crash" sound came from the side of the stairs. Gordon immediately became energetic. Batman is coming!
But after the sound of breaking glass, it was not the familiar black figure that appeared behind the black mask.
"Batman, you finally...who are you?!"
"Uh, hello, are you robbing a bank here?"
A childish-sounding voice came from the mouth of this strange figure. He shrugged and said, "Wow, man, the mask is really cool. Where did you buy it? I guess it's not Macy's, right?"
"Also, you should know that robbing a bank is wrong, right? By the way, the guys you arranged for at the back door have been knocked down by me. Don't look at me like that. I just wanted to find someone to ask for directions.
of."
The strange figure stepped back a few steps on tiptoes, opened his hand and said: "Put down the gun and let's talk about your mask. Or are you going to pose and stand here stupidly until we all miss it?"
I can’t go home during dinner time?”
"No matter where you come from, weirdo, get out of here!" Black Mask directly raised the gun in his hand and pointed it straight at the stranger's head.
"You are so impolite, even more impolite than that golden weirdo who threw me down from a height of two meters. Besides, I'm not a weirdo..."
The stranger twisted his shoulders without any nervousness. The murderous intent rose in the black mask's eyes, and the moment he pulled the trigger, time seemed to freeze.
A hand covered in a battle suit reached out to the side of his wrist at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. The moment the gun muzzle flashed with light, his wrist and the pistol were turned in one direction.
"boom!"
"Wow!"
The fired bullet shattered the glass window next to it, and a strange scream rang out, followed by a fierce punch that passed by Black Mask's ear.
"boom!"
Black Mask was directly lifted from the spot like a sandbag. An uppercut sent him flying to the ceiling. The chandelier fell down with a "crash", followed by another punch, which directly hit Black Mask to the opposite side.
in the wall.
"I'm not a weirdo, I'm Spider-Man!"
Everyone present was stunned. No one saw clearly what Spider-Man had just done. In the eyes of ordinary people, Spider-Man twisted the muzzle of his gun as if he was teleporting, and then "Bang Bang" punched Black Mask with two punches.
It hit the wall and couldn't be picked off.
Gordon was the first to react. He shouted: "It's a super criminal! Get ready, sniper!"
"Hey, what are you doing? Didn't you see that I beat up a bank robber so handsomely just now? I'm not a criminal, I'm just a passerby who was unfortunately kidnapped and brought here!"
Spider-Man shouted in disbelief.
"Bang! Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, the men brought by Black Mask opened fire. Suddenly, bullets were flying in the bank hall, hitting the counter and hitting the table. The landscape flower pot exploded with a "bang" and the chair flew out of the door.
In another series of movements that were too fast for ordinary people to see, Spider-Man perfectly avoided all the bullets and threw the hostages inside like sandbags out of the bank lobby.
Then, without stopping, he punched all the criminals who had just fired with "Bang Bang Bang" punches. Then he ran into the bank hall as quickly as possible and took out a little girl who was still crying.
.
He carried the little girl in front of Gordon, then put it down and said, "You are the police chief, right? She is handed over to you. I have to continue asking for directions. Bye."
After Spider-Man turned around to leave, Gordon stopped him and said: "Your name is Spider-Man, uh, can I understand it as a synonym for Robin?"
"What is Robin? I'm not a bird, I'm Spider-Man."
"Okay, new Robin, you have a cool title, but you want to ask where to go? Can't you find Batman?"
"Who is Batman? How could he copy my title? Besides, isn't it a bit weird to use a bat as a representative animal? God, could he have been bitten by a bat?!"
Spider-Man shuddered and his whole body trembled, as if he was doing a tap dance on the spot. Then he made a few hand gestures and said: "I just want to go back to my home, but I just saw it on the high building. There is no way here."
It’s not New York. Do you know where the nearest train station or airport is?”
"Where is New York?"
"God, you don't know New York? But this place doesn't look like some remote country. How could anyone not hear of New York?"
"Listen, kid." Gordon stepped forward and held Spider-Man's shoulders and said, "Although I can't help you where you are looking, you did a good job today. Go back and tell Batman when I turned on the bat light today.
, there is some wear and tear on the switch, if he has time, he will come and repair it."
"I ask again, who is Batman?"
"God, you don't know Batman?" Gordon glared at Spider-Man and said, "Which corner did you just come from? And if you weren't Robin, how could Batman let you fight crime in Gotham?"
"You said a series of weird things." Spider-Man shook his head in confusion, took a few steps back and said, "If you don't tell me the location of the train station or airport, I will ask someone else, and I'll leave first.
Bye-Bye."
After saying that, he stretched out an arm in front of everyone's shocked eyes, fired a thread of spider silk and stuck it on the roof of the nearest building, then jumped up and swung into the rain, disappearing at the end of the street.
Gordon stared wide-eyed at the direction in which he disappeared, then shook his head and muttered: "Another weirdo who doesn't know where he came from. It seems like I have to ask Batman."
After the case was closed, Gordon returned the crying little girl to her parents, and then returned to the police station to prepare a report. Just as he was sorting out the documents, a black shadow quietly appeared behind him.
"Did you see how he behaved today?"
It was the familiar affirmative question again. When Gordon turned around and saw Batman hiding in the shadows, he sighed. Before he could complain about Batman's elusiveness, he thought of the self-proclaimed Spider-Man he just met.
of weirdos.
"Batman, don't tell me that you raised another Robin, and then he had a conflict with you. He didn't admit that he was Robin, and wanted to go out on his own and fight crime in the city?"
Gordon's tone was full of helplessness. Batman was obviously silent for a moment and said, "Why do you think he is Robin?"
"It can be seen from his body shape and voice that he is not very old. He may still be in high school. He also wears a bright tight-fitting uniform and specializes in fighting criminals. And what better proof of him than the title of 'Spider-Man'
What about your relationship?"
While sorting the files, Gordon raised his head back and looked at Batman from above his eyes. The expression on his face seemed to say, "You can fool others, but you can't fool me."
"He is not my Robin." Batman's voice was still low and slow, and he seemed more and more certain: "But he has the potential."
"This is really strange. There are still little boys with justice in this city who have never heard of Batman?" Gordon shook his head, turned his head back, pulled up his chair and sat down to write a report.
"Unless he is not from this city."
"It's also possible." Gordon nodded, paused and said, "I don't know where his weird equipment came from. I thought you were the only one who could make something like that."
"I am also very curious."
"You want him to be your Robin?" Gordon put on his glasses, looked back at Batman and said, "Aren't there enough members of the Bat-family?"
Batman was silent for a while, and then said: "They are very busy recently, and I need an assistant."
"He doesn't look like your little assistant. You should take note of his performance today. He is either extremely talented and powerful, or he has some superpowers, which is similar to the orphans you picked up before.
It’s different.”
"But I can't possibly let him roam freely in this city." Batman's tone finally wavered, and the usual seriousness was revealed from his tone.
"I will not let a weirdo with unknown abilities and origins fight crime in this city, because he may transform into a very destructive super criminal at any time."
Gordon turned over a page of the report and said: "What you said makes sense, but I think you should respect this child's opinion."
"If he doesn't want to, I will send him home and ask him to leave this city forever and never come back."
Gordon's movements paused, and he sighed softly, looking out the window where the night rain was still swaying, and said: "I hope he doesn't mean to do this. No one should sink with this city except us."
