Superman is synonymous with strength and kindness. The upper limit of his ability basically depends on the upper limit of imagination. At the same time, he is not pedantic. He is flexible and always ambitious, just like the golden retriever one second before the door opens.
Jason revealed a few words about the image of Gotham's underclass in the interview, which made Clark want to make a special feature on it to record the situation of Gotham's underclass in a documentary form.
Clark does not always use his superman identity to enforce justice, because he understands that sometimes words are more powerful than fists, and his advantage over other reporters is that there is no place in the world that he cannot go, and there is no place in the world that he cannot go.
The darkness he cannot reveal.
In fact, Clark is now somewhat famous because he has taken many battlefield documentary photos. Although most of them were published in the name of a reporter from a certain station, some people have noticed that there may be a brave and powerful battlefield leader in the Daily Planet.
reporter.
Clark's proposal was approved by the editor-in-chief, because Gotham is indeed at the forefront now.
Bruce Wayne drove his space fortress to the American continent, put his gun on the heads of the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party, and even the heads of all mankind, and caused the two heads fighting for power to bleed.
The political parties reached a consensus after three minutes of electrification and elected Bruce Wayne as the new president of the United States. Congratulatory messages were sent from various countries.
What is surprising is that in terms of poll satisfaction, Bruce Wayne is not bad at all. Considering that he was more famous in the past, this is actually very magical.
Careful people have discovered that what deserves the public's favor is actually what Bruce Wayne did in Gotham. What's even more amazing is that although human beings live in a mess, collective consciousness can always find the best way out at critical moments. As the saying goes
,People's eyes are sharp.
Or rather, the common people's thinking makes most people choose Bruce Wayne. In their view, Wayne can even make a cesspool like Gotham have a bright spot of economic development, so coming to us is not a direct takeoff.
?
No matter how dangerous Gotham is, it is not completely closed. News is always coming out one after another, and the media that can get the news will undoubtedly gain great exposure due to this topic.
Although the editor-in-chief didn't know that Clark was Superman, he also knew that there was something magical about this kid, so he gave Clark a month and hinted to him that the more realistic the filming, the better.
The so-called "the more real the better" actually does not mean it originally. This is a code word used by American newspapers when reporting on the battlefield. Simply put, the more miserable the photo, the better.
If Gotham is not miserable, how can it show Bruce Wayne's ability? The new president seems to be in power for a long time. If he doesn't take advantage of the new official's appointment to flatter him, he will be a pot of soup.
Clark understood the editor's hint, but didn't care. He preferred to interpret the sentence as its original meaning. He would definitely present the situation in Gotham truly and completely to the public.
Then on the first day he came here, reality gave him a blow - he was stolen.
Clark couldn't describe how ridiculous it was. His biological position could put a lid on the Atlantic Ocean, and then on his first day here, the $200 in his pocket disappeared.
Clark was very sure that he couldn't have lost it himself, because his jacket pocket was zippered and the zipper was closed, and the money was gone.
Later, Clark recalled carefully that when he just left the train station, he saw a child running past him without his parents behind him, as if there was something urgent.
Clark thought for a moment and followed him, and then the child fell. Just as Clark was about to help him, another group of children rushed up and waved their fists to hit the child.
Of course Clark had to quickly break up the fight, and not only did he have to break up the fight, he also had to ask for the reasons behind the incident, reason with them, and educate them.
This group of children spoke incoherently and mixed in all kinds of swear words. Clark reminded them more than 30 times in one minute, and it took him a full 10 minutes to ask them.
The kid who ran away just now was an outsider, not a member of their group of kids, but he came here to steal business. They had been chasing him for several days, and if they caught him they would beat him up.
After saying that, he raised his fists and started to hit again. Clark had a headache trying to persuade him, and he didn't care about the good words and teachings. He settled the conflict first. He first spent money to buy the juice that the child was selling, and then gave the beaten person the money.
The child was sent to the nearest clinic.
Then when he returned to the hotel he booked, he found that his money was missing, and he didn't even know when it was taken away.
Superman can be called omniscient and omnipotent, but only if he concentrates on something. At that time, he was already having a headache due to the noise from the group of children, and he couldn't bear the pain on the child who was beaten, so he only thought about it.
Send him to the hospital quickly.
He only vaguely remembered that his coat was tugged a few times, and his money might have been taken away during one of them.
Clark sighed deeply and started to pack his luggage. Because he was going to stay for a while, he brought a lot of things. After packing, he felt a little thirsty, so he opened the juice that the child sold him and poured it into his mouth.
As soon as the juice entered his mouth, Clark squirted out.
There are added ingredients here.
In other words, juice is added to the ingredients.
Clark looked at the orange juice in his hand in shock. Based on his limited medical knowledge, orange juice would promote the absorption of a certain drug, and the scientific name of this drug is generally called MDMA, or ecstasy for short.
Clark quickly grabbed a bottle of water from the hotel table and gargled it frantically. He accidentally swallowed a sip just now, but if he wasn't a Kryptonian, he would have seen Batman and the Joker dancing.
After lying on the sink and retching for a long time, Clark washed his face with water again. A trace of anger surged in his heart, thinking that he must look good to these masterminds who instigated children to sell drugs.
Because he wanted to report in depth on the conditions in Gotham's slums, he did not stay in a very high-end hotel, but found a casual hotel in the unfinished Arkham City, which is next to Gotham's slums.
From the window here, you could just see the half-covered wall of Arkham City. Clark stood by the window and admired the view for a while, but not long after, there was a knock on the door.
He walked over and took a look, but saw no one. When the door opened, there was no one there. A small card was left on the ground.
Clark knew what the card was for just by looking at its color and composition. He sighed and threw the card aside.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and there was another card. Judging from the color and composition, it was not the same company as the one just now. This one should be mainly engaged in same-sex business.
Clark still didn't care, just threw it aside and went to take a shower. When he finished taking a shower, he heard a faint knock on the door. When he came out, he opened the door and saw another card.
This time Clark was a little angry, but not because of the frequent interruptions, but because the age of the model printed on the card clearly did not comply with New Jersey's minor protection law.
Clark looked into the corridor and saw nothing. He took a look at the sky outside and finally decided to look for trouble with them tomorrow.
As a result, he didn't sleep that night. About every 10 minutes, he could hear a knock on the door, and then picked up a piece of paper on the ground. The scope of his business was extremely wide, even including areas as large as the second floor judging from the scale.
tall cat.
It is no exaggeration to say that when these small cards are combined, it is a complete tourist map of the Gotham slums, with various attractions clearly marked.
It's not like Clark has never tried squatting at the door, but the other party seems to be very familiar with this routine. They will not come when Clark is staring at the door. When Clark becomes sleepy, the knock on the door will ring on time. The main strategy is a guerrilla tactic.
The moment Clark picked up the phone and pressed the alarm call, he felt ridiculous and finally decided to give up.
Any war correspondent will be wary of local officials, because it is a common human problem not to publicize family scandals. For the sake of their own political achievements and reputation, the police are often not reporters' helpers, but enemies, so Clark must be cautious.
Of course, another reason is that when the police came and saw these 50 or so small cards, I couldn't explain it, and they would inevitably be questioned, "This doesn't satisfy you, do you want the sun?"
In this torture of waking up and sleeping, Clark finally made it to the next day. Looking at the bright sky, he knew that he could finally go to the Gotham slums to find out what was going on.
Clark didn't know that he actually arrived at an unfortunate time. When there was only Batman in the city, the mental state of Gotham citizens could be said to be chaotic and crazy. But since the appearance of the Robin Gang, their mental state can only be described as...
This is Gotham, this is my home, and the whole life depends on everyone.
Clark failed to enter the slums on his first day in Gotham because he found that the manhole cover on the road outside the door was missing before he walked three meters.
As a superman, of course he couldn't just sit back and watch the passing cars overturn, so he decided to find something to cover the manhole cover first, or at least find a warning sign so that the oncoming cars could go around it.
But as soon as he got close to the wellhead, he heard something strange coming from inside. It sounded like something was running. It wasn't running very slowly, and it was powerful and heavy. It sounded like...
boom!
The behemoth jumped out of the well and hit Superman's chest. As expected, we failed to penetrate the enemy's armor and were knocked back on the spot.
Clark looked down and saw a strange man with a crocodile head and skin that looked a bit like a crocodile.
In order to ensure the authenticity of the interview and investigation, Clark did not ask Bruce for information on Gotham's super criminals in advance, so he could only temporarily call the strange man he met Crocodile Man.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Do you want to come up?"
The crocodile man was knocked to pieces. When he saw the shadow above, he roared and tried to jump up again.
Clark saw the anger of a desperate fight in his eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to get out of the way.
The crocodile man successfully escaped to the ground, but without a moment to mourn for his broken nose, he ran away.
Clark looked at his back inexplicably, but the next second something hit him again. When Clark looked back, he saw that it was a crocodile.
Is this his child? This was Clark's first reaction.
Then he thought that he must have been affected by this crazy city. The crocodile man just now was obviously a mutant from Gotham. Humans cannot give birth to crocodiles.
But soon, his common sense was shaken, because hundreds of crocodiles spewed out from the well mouth like a fountain, and a crocodile whirlwind blew on the street.
"What are you still doing? Run!"
Clark turned his head and found that the crocodile man who had just ran out was standing on the street corner yelling at him. Looking at the growing crocodile whirlwind, Clark hesitated for a second and ran away.
