"Mr. Police! Mr. Police! Here! Here! There are two hostages in the cellar here. Sir and madam, don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you!"
Standing at the entrance of the dark cellar, Spider-Man shouted to the two figures inside. His Spider-Sense did not alert the police, indicating that the two people inside might indeed be innocent people kidnapped by the Joker.
At his call, Gordon led the police officers into the cellar and rescued a couple. Spider-Man watched the hostages being put into the ambulance. Gordon stood beside him and patted him.
Shoulder.
"Hello, Sheriff, we meet again."
"Can I call you Robin now?"
"Of course not, I'm Spider-Man, okay, whatever you want, but I want to ask who the criminal named Joker is. Is he the boss of criminals in this city?"
"He is the most dangerous criminal in the city and Batman's nemesis." Gordon sighed. He was about to light a cigarette when he looked back and saw Spider-Man, put the lighter back into his pocket and continued: "
Only Batman can deal with the evil Joker."
Spider-Man blinked his spider compound eyes, and his body movements showed that he did not agree with this statement. At this time, a black shadow slipped from the sky above the theater, and Batman was back.
"Spider-Man, come back with me, I want to tell you something."
After Batman finished speaking, he turned around and left. He thought Spider-Man would follow, but Spider-Man still looked at Gordon. He scratched his head and said to Gordon: "Chief, do you have a list of super criminals in this city? I
I think I should know more about them."
"You should talk to Batman about this." Gordon reached out and hammered Spider-Man on the shoulder and said, "Good job this time, boy. See you next time."
After Gordon turned around and left, Spider-Man seemed a little confused. When he turned around, he found that Batman was still waiting for him. He was a little surprised and said: "I thought you went back first."
"Come with me."
Batman didn't say much, and just motioned for Spider-Man to follow him. Spider-Man could only follow Batman back to the Batcave with a lot of questions. As soon as he entered the Batcave, Spider-Man took off his mask and asked in confusion.
: "What the hell is going on? Why do I feel that you are all so weird? Is there something that I can't tell you directly?"
Batman looked hesitant, but finally he said, "Didn't your spider-sense alert you to danger when you were approaching the Joker?"
Spider-Man scratched his chicken coop-like hair, thought about it and said, "No, I didn't feel any particular danger."
"Don't you feel the pain from the needle?"
Spider-Man shook his head again, and Batman could only take him back to the medical examination room and conduct a detailed scan, and then found a very small pinprick in an inconspicuous place above his right arm.
Spider-Man turned his head hard and looked at his arm, and then used his fingers to pick out the muscles of his arm. Batman tore off his hand and then pulled his arm into the instrument.
"Please, I should know what happened to me. You keep a straight face and don't say anything, as if I have a terminal illness."
"...It's no different from a terminal illness." Batman paused while inspecting the wound on Spider-Man's arm. He glanced at Spider-Man's expression, as if he was thinking about how to explain it so as not to scare him.
"The clown has injected a special medicine into your body. You can understand it as the source of darkness in this city. It is very likely to corrode your spirit and make you embrace the dark side of human nature."
It was very rare for Batman to say such a long string of words in one breath, but Spider-Man didn't seem to understand at all, and he immediately expressed his doubts.
"I don't understand. You're saying that he turned the source of darkness in a city into a medicine and injected it into my body. But what's the point of this?"
"He wants to contaminate you so that you can deal with me."
"But I won't deal with you."
"If you are affected by the potion, you..."
"I won't deal with you." Spider-Man repeated his words again. He stared directly at Batman and said, "I can see that the police officers and the chief of the Gotham Police Department are very trustworthy.
You, this means that you must have guarded this city and done many great things. Heroes should not hurt each other."
Batman was silent for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid nothing in this city will conform to your beautiful fantasy."
"But this is not a fantasy. I will never raise my fist against my friends at any time, place or under any difficult circumstances. This is unjust." Spider-Man emphasized.
"The reason why the Joker is the most dangerous criminal in the city is because he understands everyone's weaknesses."
Batman's tone was lowered, but a little softer, as if he was telling a less dark story.
"He understood that he could not influence my will, so he adopted other means to achieve his goal. This was not the first time he wanted to destroy the Bat Family, nor was it the first time he planned to harm the Robins."
Spider-Man's mood also dropped. He seemed to hear the sad story behind Batman's tone, so he asked: "Has he hurt your children?"
"More than once."
"But you don't need to worry about me as much as you worry about them. Spider-Man is stronger than you think. Countless disasters that have almost destroyed the world have not defeated me."
"Heroes are more likely to be defeated by themselves."
Spider-Man heard the sadness that he felt from Batman's words, as if there were countless tragic stories hidden behind them.
"I don't care what's going on in this world." Spider-Man gasped angrily. He glared at Batman and said, "It will always be me who decides whether I am good or bad, not the world, nor the potion created by some criminal.
,I will prove it!”
"But you'd better not leave the Batcave for the next period of time." Batman felt that he had already used enough patience to explain to this fledgling who had just arrived in the city how dangerous it was here.
"On the contrary." Spider-Man took a few steps back, broke away from Batman's pull on his arm, and then said: "If I retreat now, I will allow that dangerous criminal to succeed, so not only can I not stay
Here, we should also take the initiative to let them understand that their conspiracy will not have any impact on me."
Batman stood there and looked at him silently. He was as resolute and silent as a dark mountain standing there. Spider-Man saw two shadows of a hero and a father in him.
"Sorry, Batman, I know you may be worried about me being poisoned and doing bad things, but I can't just sit back and wait for death knowing that there are so many super criminals operating in the city. I have to defeat them."
"I don't think it's a good choice to be so aggressive."
"Can you give me information on those super criminals?"
Batman looked at Spider-Man in silence. From Spider-Man's eyes, Batman could tell that if he didn't give Spider-Man this information, he would investigate it himself until he got what he wanted.
Another bad guy, Batman thought. He has thought about changing the name of the Justice League to the Bad Guys League several times, and he has also thought about changing the name of the Bat Family to the Bad Guys Family several times. I don’t know if it’s bad luck, but everyone around him has thought about it.
The people around him are all extremely talented at fighting against him.
"Go to the archives." Batman waved his cape and led Spider-Man to the archives as if he had already made a plan.
Here is information about Gotham's super criminals collected by Batman. Of course, these are relatively simple information. Batman's analysis and plans to deal with each super criminal are not included.
After entering the archives, Spider-Man finally calmed down, but the grief and anger lingering in his chest did not dissipate. His special inspiration from the spider sense allowed him to see countless pairs of desires in Batman's body.
Fury at the hands of darkness that pulled this superhero into hell.
This anger drove him to increase his concentration. In the next few hours, he carefully read through the information on all the super criminals in Gotham stored in the Batman archives, and wrote down hundreds of them.
Eighty percent of the content.
Batman has been observing Spider-Man's actions from the side. In fact, his plan is to hold Spider-Man back as much as possible and activate the countermeasures equipment in the Batcave. Once the dark potion injected by the Joker into Spider-Man takes effect, he can immediately
Subdue Spider-Man, then study what changes have occurred on his body, and combine it with the remaining medicine in the syringe to find the formula for the antidote.
The information on super criminals in Batman's archives is very detailed. He has collected almost all the action tracks of all super criminals. If an ordinary person were to read this pile of information, it would take at least several months of sleepless reading to get an overview.
But Spider-Man almost read all the information at the speed of quantum speed reading, and said that he had memorized most of it. Although Batman had doubts about this, he was still more concerned about Spider-Man's current situation.
"Do you feel any changes in your body?" Batman asked.
Spider-Man, who was putting the last document back on the shelf, was stunned for a moment. He glanced down at himself, rubbed his eyes and said, "Change? Do I think my eyes are a bit unreasonable?"
"The eye drops are in the drawer on your left."
"Thanks."
Spider-Man ordered the eye drops, opened his eyes a few times, shook his head and said, "Wow, I feel better. What brand of eye drops do you have? Can I take some back with me when I leave?"
?I think this will help me cope with the review before the final exam."
Batman was still staring at Spider-Man, with an expression on his face that said, "Apart from that, don't you feel anything unusual about yourself?"
Spider-Man shook his head innocently and said: "I didn't feel any discomfort. Maybe his needle pierced my skin, but the poison was not injected? Or maybe my spider mutation made me immune.
What’s the toxicity here?”
Batman narrowed his eyes and showed a disapproving look, but Spider-Man shrugged and said, "I won't waste my time with such unnecessary worries. The good neighbor is about to appear in Gotham City!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Batman did not stop him, but after Spider-Man left, he activated the monitoring equipment on Spider-Man's uniform, and then came to the monitoring room to closely observe Spider-Man's every move.
He must ensure that he captures the moment Spider-Man becomes ill, so that he can immediately stop Spider-Man and prevent him from causing any trouble with his super strength.
As expected, the scene displayed on the surveillance screen showed that Spider-Man's first stop was the Penguin's Iceberg Restaurant.
According to the information provided by Spider-Man, Penguin can indeed be said to be full of evil. In other words, young heroes like Spider-Man themselves will be more disgusted with super criminals with gang backgrounds. This is also the result of Batman's deliberate guidance.
If the dark side guided by the Source of Darkness is destined to explode, and Spider-Man has super strength, then if he goes crazy in the Iceberg Restaurant, he can reduce the damage to the normal order of Gotham and also combat the Penguin's arrogance.
Batman's eyes were fixed on the surveillance screen. Not long after, the door of the Iceberg Restaurant appeared in Spider-Man's field of vision.
