A war without gunpowder took place on this independent continent that had been away from war for many years, because Bruce Wayne did not choose appeasement as they imagined, and he began to resist with unprecedented fierce means.
Initially, the mastermind behind all this believed that if Bruce's ambitions were as great as his power, then this would be the only way to put enough pressure on him to compromise.
Initially, Bruce Wayne also felt that he could compromise. This was not a matter of integrity, but it was inevitable for both parties to make concessions in business. Peace made money and maintaining order was the key.
But the biggest reason why plans in this world cannot keep up with changes is that plans are perfect plans, but there are no perfect people.
The person in the lead just wanted to bite off an appropriate piece of meat to make the other party surrender, but the person following felt that they deserved more, so they bit off a small piece more.
Everyone bites off a small piece, and the situation evolves into a situation where the prey feels that it cannot escape, so it simply stops running and fights to the death.
At first, they just wanted to give the Wayne Group some color, so that Bruce Wayne should not be too greedy, stop trying to do both economics and politics, and focus on both morality and interests, both in front of the stage and behind the scenes.
However, human beings are too versatile and uncontrolled in persecuting the same kind. If one decision-maker adds more hatred and revenge, another decision-maker will suck more blood.
Before the people who originally launched this offensive could react, Wayne Group was already on the verge of danger.
As a result, the Wayne Group was forced to skip the stage of negotiating terms and compromises, and directly triggered a desperate situation. Batman also lost the opportunity to play both sides, and directly opened the copy to survive in desperate situations.
At the same time, when it comes to their own interests, shareholders who are unwilling to part with a large number of shares suddenly no longer have pain in their waists or sore legs. They no longer eat in and out and wait to die. The shareholders' meeting can be held three times a day.
Under the extreme operations of the FBI, Congress and the military, Batman and his Wayne Group are united as never before.
Batman may not care about money and status, but he understands that under such a fierce offensive, everyone in the Bat family will not have a good outcome once he falls.
This all-out offensive made Batman feel the crisis. Pressure is always the most important opportunity to break through the bottom line. Batman, who usually rarely uses any technology to compete for interests, finally made an exception.
This break poked a hole in the sky.
If you want to describe Batman's technology crushing the American shopping mall, there is probably only one word that is accurate enough - dimensionality reduction attack.
An official spokesman for the FBI pointed out at a recent press conference that their comprehensive investigation found that the Wayne Group's misuse of cameras resulted in more than 5 million people in Gotham being monitored.
When he said this, the number of people covered by the Sky Eye system had exceeded 50 million, and the vast majority of them were important figures such as politicians and businessmen in various places.
Army spokespersons pointed out at their own press conference that Wayne Group's privately developed super-standard weapons, including Bat missiles and Bat bombers, will pose a major threat to the security of the United States and the world.
When he said this, the Bat starship and Bat rail gun had passed the 7th firepower index test, and the Bat global EMP network was completed.
The unnamed congressman pointed out in his private interview that the Wayne Group's lack of support for the unjust and the arrogance and incompetence of Bruce Wayne were the inevitable reasons for the decline of the Wayne Group.
When he said this, Batman persuaded Superman and Wonder Woman to send the Bat Sky Fortress into the Kuiper Belt, and grabbed Constantine's neck and asked him to output the energy of the stellar shield machine in the form of a magic circle.
Build a solar system defense network.
A well-known media critic in the Washington Post pointed out that the cover-up of Batman's criminal behavior by the young heroes of the Bat Family is one of the culprits in the increasing number of juvenile abuse cases.
When he said this, the Bat Family that was left in Gotham City began to reorganize order. The media blocked Jason's remarks about Gotham's bottom class, making more and more Gotham youths realize that some people have
The ability to control but not to care, not only to not care, but also to reach out and take more, not only to take more, but also not let others speak.
At the same time, Gotham people realize that you are here because it is profitable during the peak period, and you are truly compassionate and loyal by not leaving during the trough period.
All of Wayne's business partners were suppressed, and various joint venture factories withdrew one after another. Only when Wayne Group refused to surrender, did they realize that if there was only one root in this mud besides them,
The hard nut, that's Batman.
Gotham's major family businesses and gangs, Arkham Asylum patients, media commentators, celebrities, and football stars all turned into tailors. Suddenly, paper was expensive in Gotham and yellow robes were out of stock.
In this competition between one man and one country in terms of arms, economy and hearts, Batman quietly won the victory.
But the storm lingered for three months, and everything remained hidden.
Until the first heavy snow fell in Gotham, the engine flames lit up over the east coast of New Jersey, USA, baptizing this new country and bringing the true gospel of democracy.
On January 20 of the same year, Bruce Wayne was sworn in as President of the United States at President Washington's inauguration ceremony.
On Capitol Hill, under the Stars and Stripes, Bruce Wayne laid his hand on the Bible and after taking the oath, he said.
"During my years as a superhero fighting crime, I thought I had seen the very bottom of what humanity was capable of, and at that time, I swore that I would do everything in my power to eradicate all evil.
But at the beginning of this glorious and legendary adventure, I learned from my children that what I saw from the top of the mountain overlooking the abyss was always limited and narrow.
The shortcomings of people's hearts and systems have brought far more darkness to our race than super criminals. Criminals are not the cause, but the result.
But at the same time, I saw him stand through all this and become an upright and strong person. This showed me the strength and greatness of human beings, and made me understand that there is still light outside the darkness."
Bruce Wayne's voice echoed in countless squares, in front of screens and in rooms, and the light shone on one face after another.
“The more darkness I see, the more responsibility I feel, and the more light I feel, the stronger motivation I have.
Today, my responsibility is no longer to a city or a country, but to eradicate all the darkness and injustice of this ethnic group, so that every child in the most barren and remote places can walk towards the vast starry sky.
An overseer and protector, your one, final, and ever-present Head of State.”
With a snap, the screen went off, Bruce Wayne's handsome face disappeared, and Jason sighed deeply.
Schiller walked in and closed the door. Jason rubbed his nose and asked hesitantly: "Did the test succeed?"
"Just barely." Schiller took out a test tube, shook it and said, "I expected it to be good. The Dionysian factor can indeed separate out and preserve the clown virus."
"Isn't that a success?"
Schiller shook his head and said: "First of all, the separation is incomplete. Now Henry is no longer a clown, but he is still a mental patient. The remaining clown virus and Dionysian factor are still affecting his spirit."
"Secondly, the separated clown virus has a very limited storage time and is continuing to be deactivated. Moreover, the effectiveness of secondary injection into the human body will be greatly reduced. What we have obtained now is probably only enough to create one-tenth of the clown."
"You don't want to create a clown, do you?" Jason's eyebrows raised and lowered, then his eyes slowly opened wide and he said: "You don't, do you?"
"No more clowns are needed." Schiller put the test tube away and said, "The bad news, and probably the good news, is that the concentration of clown virus still present in Henry's body is very subtle."
"To put it simply, if Batman becomes Batman again, the concentration of the Joker virus may continue to increase until Henry becomes the Joker again."
"And if he stops being Batman, then without Batman, the Joker virus may slowly disappear. This theory is not groundless. I have seen similar examples."
"In other words, the way Batman really saves the Joker is that he stops being Batman?" Jason asked.
"It's not that simple. Don't forget that clowns are born in the same way as The Killing Joke. If the social situation never improves, clowns will appear sooner or later."
Schiller spread his hands and said: "Now it's time to test Batman. He must use methods other than Batman to save the world. The Joker will always be watching him from the sky."
"I'm going to see Henry." Jason said.
"I advise you not to go. I just slightly modified his memory. He shouldn't remember you. And if you beat him up before he regains his strength, Batman will beat you up. I
But I can’t hold him back.”
"Tch." Jason's intention was discovered, he snorted boredly, turned around and left.
Before leaving, Schiller looked at him and said, "When will Batman come back?"
"How did I know? During his absence, he developed more than 160 strange little habits. I have to watch those idiots to prevent them from tearing down the roof of the Batcave."
Schiller met Batman, or rather Bruce Wayne, about three hours later, because he was wearing a suit and had obviously just returned from a meeting.
He said hello to Schiller, then quickly walked to the desk and started rummaging around. Schiller leaned against the wall next to him and said with a smile: "A busy man, Mr. President."
Bruce took the documents and walked out, pointing at Schiller and saying, "I'll settle the score with you after I finish my work."
"Don't worry." Schiller appeared beside Bruce at some point and stopped him with one hand.
Bruce felt a weight in his hand, lowered his head, and found that Schiller had stuffed a strange object into his hand. It was probably a wooden grid with many flat wooden beads pierced through it.
"What's this?"
"abacus."
"I know this is a calculation."
Schiller took the abacus from Bruce's hand and spoke while crackling the abacus.
"Peter's internship salary...my labor dispatch expenses...cross-universe travel expense reimbursement...emergency transfer lost time expenses...Jason Todd's psychological therapy expenses...family photo storage expenses...photo directed mail delivery fees...
The cost of Clark Kent's emergency psychological treatment...the rental fee for the two symbiotes...the cost of using spider silk...the wear and tear fee for uniforms and equipment..."
When Schiller said this, Bruce just stared at him, because he had expected such a day, but unexpectedly, Schiller continued.
