Spider-Man followed Batman to a special room. The light in this room was very full, even a little too strong. It had formed signs of light pollution, because there were at least hundreds of large and small screens in the entire room.
The largest main screen was shot at the place where the robbery took place during the day. Spider-Man exclaimed as soon as he walked in, and then rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if he was a little uncomfortable with such light.
"God, how many cameras have you put in Gotham?" Spider-Man was still a little uncomfortable with the word Gotham. He almost bit his tongue when he read it, but his attention was quickly attracted by the picture on the surveillance screen.
It's past.
"As you can see, this is a dark city with a very high crime rate."
"Extremely high? How high?"
"The Gotham Police Department reported 6,113 crimes this year, half of which were serious crimes."
"...Isn't that similar to New York?"
Batman turned to look at Spider-Man, who sighed and said, "I heard from Uncle Ben this morning that there were approximately 5,739 reported crimes in New York this year, which is an increase of about 40% from last year."
Batman turned back and was about to continue talking when Spider-Man continued: "But this is just an ordinary crime case. It does not include cases of alien invasion, biological mutation, modified people going crazy, mutants losing control, etc. If we count,
There may be seven or eight thousand."
"And this year, New York has been destroyed more times than usual. The invasion of aliens and the arrival of Thanos alone have caused New York to be destroyed four or five times. If we look at the victimization rate, at least 90% of the people in New York have been affected.
Influence."
Batman narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Spider-Man and said, "So who is responsible for the security of New York City? I mean who among the superheroes, the 'Mr. Stark' you call him?"
"Responsible? If you want to be responsible, it should be SHIELD, which is an officially established supernatural surveillance organization. They also organized the Avengers. In these huge disasters, it was basically the Avengers who saved New York."
"Well, it's been a long time since I've been a good neighbor and helped out." Spider-Man sighed and said, "Every day, I'm either fighting aliens or evil gods. I'm either trying to prevent this world from being destroyed or that one.
."
Batman turned his head back silently and said, "Then you should be more suitable for Metropolis."
"The crime in Gotham is mainly dominated by vicious robberies, kidnappings and bombings. Most of the criminals who commit these serious cases are super criminals with super high IQs. They are cunning, cruel and evil. Never underestimate their ability as a criminal.
talent."
"Indeed." Spider-Man nodded in agreement and said, "That Black Mask kidnapped such a small child that day was so evil. It must be quite hard for you to deal with them every day, right?"
Batman's hand on the control surface paused again. He shook his head slightly and said, "Black Mask is far from cunning and evil. These two words are always more suitable..."
"Dip-dip-dip-"
A sharp siren sounded, and Batman quickly turned around and squinted his eyes to look at the flashing warning lights outside the door.
Spider-Man seemed to feel something and turned to look at the largest screen. Batman then looked up and saw the pattern of bat lights flashing in the dark sky of Gotham on the main screen.
"God, this is the coolest car I've ever seen... Uh, uh, is it a sports car? Or is it a branch of a tank?!" Spider-Man, who was sitting on the Batmobile, shouted.
"It's the Batmobile." Batman replied.
"Zila——"
A sharp brake sound sounded, and Batman made a smooth drift and turned into the back of the alley where the theater was located. Then he quickly and accurately reversed into the garage. After parking the Batmobile, Batman rushed out of the car, and Spider-Man
Immediately afterwards, the two rushed into the back door of the theater.
"Gordon said on the phone that the clown has kidnapped a couple and their child here. If I don't go over, he will force the little boy to press the button and kill his parents."
"Isn't this too weird?!" Spider-Man, wearing a new uniform, raised his voice and said, "How can a kidnapper insist on seeing the police? If he just surrenders and goes to jail, wouldn't he be able to see you?"
"First of all, I am not a policeman, I am Batman. Secondly, he is not a kidnapper, he is a clown."
Batman turned to look at Spider-Man, and then said: "You have to learn the rules of this game first, and don't act rashly."
"Okay, don't worry!"
"Bang!"
Spider-Man kicked off the railing on the second floor of the theater, and a piece of spider silk stuck to the ceiling. With a whoosh, it swung to the stage, stood in front of the clown, pointed at him with his finger and said: "Damn kidnapper."
!Let that boy go, or I will make you look good!!!"
At this time, Batman rushed to the front of the second floor, and was lucky enough to see a slightly confused expression on the face of his old enemy the Joker, who always had an evil smile.
Suddenly, the clown wrinkled his nose hard, showed an extremely evil smile to Spider-Man and said: "I smell it! I smell the stink that comes from bird feathers!"
"Batman has adopted another poor homeless bird. Ha, he adopts you, dresses you up, and then makes you look like that serious face!"
"Your name is the clown, right? Listen, this Mr. Clown who ran away from who knows which circus, first of all, put down that broken gun in your hand, don't point it at anyone, it's very dangerous
."
"Secondly, ask the boy to throw away the button in his hand. Children should not do such dangerous things. Finally, your hair style is very cool. Which hair salon did you get it in, and what color dye did you use?"
"Ah..." the clown drawled, raised his chin, stared at Spider-Man with his bloodshot eyes and said: "You want to distract me with your words? You know it won't work.
Right? Because this poor boy is about to suffer what you and Batman have suffered, and he's going to lose his parents forever."
"Where did you hide his parents?" Spider-Man asked with wide eyes.
"Of course it's in a big bomb, hahahahahahahahaha!!!" The clown let out a series of crazy smiles.
"I'm going to let him press that button in front of Batman later, blowing his parents to pieces, and then what is Batman going to do, take this poor boy home?"
"But he failed to save the parents of this poor child. What would the child think of him? Is his rescue pity or compensation? Does he really think he can replace his parents?"
Spider-Man focused his attention on the kidnapped boy. He was a cute-looking white boy wearing overalls and a beret. His face was full of tears and he was holding a huge
The button was tied to the chair at this time. Only his fingers could move, and his eyes were flashing with fear.
Out of sympathy, Spider-Man instinctively took a step forward, but the next second, he froze in place.
Then, he jumped on the spot and jumped back two or three meters. Then he quickly stretched out an arm, and a spider silk stuck to the ceiling again. He swung to the second floor in an extremely agile manner and stopped the approaching person.
Batman jumping down.
"Don't go there." Spider-Man looked back at the scene on the stage and said, "That kid is with him!"
The Joker and Batman were stunned together.
"My spider sense just told me that this child is in great danger." Spider-Man lowered his voice and said to Batman: "This may be a scene they directed together. If you really save him and bring him
When he brought it home, it was equivalent to bringing the bomb back home."
Batman narrowed his eyes. His attention had been attracted by the clown before, but when he turned his attention to the little boy, he almost immediately noticed something was wrong.
The rope was tied very tightly, and the skin of the little boy's wrist looked very tender, but when the rope rubbed a red mark, the wound disappeared almost immediately.
"Clayface!" Batman shouted his name angrily.
But before he could finish his words, there was only a "bang" sound, and a huge flowerpot crossed a beautiful parabola and hit the center of the stage. The moment the dust and dirt mist flew up, a black shadow almost appeared.
Swinging over at the same time as the vase, they landed on the stage silently.
"boom!"
Spider-Man hit the Joker with an uppercut on the chin, then hugged his upper body and threw him on his back, smashing him to the floor of the stage.
The pitiful little boy who was sitting on the chair finally revealed his true identity. Just as Batman expected, he is one of Gotham's super criminals, Clayface, who has the ability to imitate the image of others.
Spider-Man knocked the clown unconscious, turned around and kicked Clayface on the back, but Clayface was really like a pile of mud. Although the mud and water splashed from the kick, it was firmly fixed on the ground and
He wasn't knocked out or fell down.
Seeing that his conspiracy was exposed, Clayface didn't stay too long. He betrayed his teammates decisively and fled along the ceiling like a ball of gel. Spider-Man's two sticky bombs missed, and Clayface jumped out through the window.
, disappeared into the rainy night of Gotham.
Spider-Man turned back to look at the Joker, but Batman had already appeared in front of the Joker. He picked up the Joker who was unconscious on the ground and said to Spider-Man: "Look around here to see if they really arranged it."
I'll hand him over to Gordon and put him in a lunatic asylum."
Spider-Man nodded and turned to work.
Batman looked at his back and thought, this boy named Spider-Man is like the perfect assistant who fell from the sky.
He is kind, powerful, smart and powerful. More importantly, he has the ability to warn and will not easily fall into the trap of criminals. At the same time, he has no differences with Batman in dealing with criminals. He is just like a natural Robin.
Batman was thinking as he led the Joker into the police car. He was too absorbed in thinking that he didn't notice the Joker lying on the ground who should have fainted. A particularly cruel smile appeared on his pale face.
Arriving at Arkham Asylum, Batman threw the Joker on the floor of the Special Care Unit. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, a weak laugh came from behind.
"Hahahahaha...Batman, Batman! I have said before that the Bat Family and your birds are nothing but a drag on you. Soon you will understand how free you will be without them.
How great you will be!!"
Batman paused, turned his head and stared at the Joker with a deep gaze and said, "Joker, what conspiracy are you planning?"
"Planning? No, no, no, everything is happening naturally. Starting from the new bird you brought back, he will fall into an inescapable trap and embrace the endless darkness of human nature one step earlier than you.
.”
Batman walked back quickly, broke the clown's shoulder blade with his elbow, picked up his neck, and began to search his body. The clown struggled desperately, and while the two were fighting, a syringe came out of the clown's clothes.
fell out.
"What is this?" Batman asked.
The clown rolled on the ground laughing, laughing as if he was going to die. In the sharp laughter, he occasionally uttered a few incoherent words. Batman only heard the clown say: "That's you! That's you! Bat
Xia! It’s the darkness of Gotham City! It’s the darkness that will never go away!”
"Batman, Batman!" The Joker began to pant non-stop, as if he was laughing or crying. He shouted Batman's name, and then said: "Those birds under your wings can enjoy
The light that others cannot enjoy is not in line with the justice you pursue. In this case, I will let them share the darkness!"
"What did you inject him with?" Batman stepped on the Joker's leg bone and the Joker let out a sharp scream, followed by continuous huffing and puffing.
"Condensed Gotham rainwater...the truly pure source of darkness, Batman, your child is about to become your enemy, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
