In the end, the Robins from Schiller's universe convinced those from other universes, because what they said was indeed very reasonable. If Batman really dies, then you should take revenge and choose a successor.
But the problem is that now there is sufficient evidence to prove that he is not dead. This is just part of his plan. Then everyone will still be Robin. His job is to be Batman's assistant. Now that Batman has assigned a task, whoever doesn't go will go.
To put it bluntly, people are still thinking about dividing the family property before they die. Even if Batman has become President Wayne, it will be over if you see if he comes back to take care of you.
Batman in the Arkham universe is particularly slow-tongued, which actually means he is extraordinarily intimidating. One of the reasons why he doesn't have a good relationship with the Robins is that he is too majestic.
But at this time, the majesty he usually established came in handy. When thinking about the possibility of settling accounts after Batman comes back, the Robins in the Arkham universe said that they were still weak bird eggs and were still squatting in their nests.
Better.
The Robins in the main universe didn't suffer too much from the dense fog, so they were still eager to try and cause trouble. However, this was the Arkham universe after all, so they could only do as they pleased.
In this way, the main focus of the Robins is to find a way to break into Wayne Tower to find King Robin and get Batman's cape back from him. However, the first thing they have to conquer is still to enter Wayne Tower from here.
There was thick fog for a long stretch of the journey.
While everyone was excitedly discussing the types of monsters in the fog and how to deal with them, Batman and Batwoman were discussing another matter.
They are not as interested in a single entity in this accident as the Robins. They are more interested in comprehensive considerations and observing from a macro perspective.
In this way, they are faced with a more difficult question - who is the real man behind the scenes and where is he.
Batman has already made assumptions in his mind.
Don't forget what he just deduced before coming here. There is probably a hybrid of the Joker and Batman making trouble in various universes.
As soon as I deduced this, something happened in the Arkham universe. Who else could be behind the scenes?
Batwoman has heard about Batman's speculation, but she thinks it is too ridiculous. She simply can't imagine what it would be like for the Joker and Batman to merge.
But this does not prevent them from inferring what this guy will do based on Batman and the Joker's code of conduct.
Batman first pointed out the key, "What do you think the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is?"
"This is actually not a question, but a reminder." Batwoman immediately said: "It is indeed strange. If he wants to invade this universe, there is no need to go around so many detours and go through so much trouble to directly attack that universe.
Just form an army of weird-looking Robins and throw them over."
"If his target is the Batman of this universe, then he should let the so-called Robin King kill him with one strike instead of trapping him. This kind of thing doesn't have any unnecessary sympathy."
"The only thing I can think of now is that he is after that equation. If, as you said, the power of that equation is extremely powerful, then he must also want to get it, and he wants to get a complete one directly."
Batwoman obviously refers to sending Robin King to get half of Batman's equation from Arkham Batman, using Robin King's wisdom to synthesize the complete equation, and then enjoying the results herself.
As for why she didn't just take the half of Robin King's hand, Batwoman guessed that there might be a rift between the two of them, and they were using each other. Robin King couldn't give it to him, so he could only use this method.
The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.
"But the second half of the plan..." Batwoman drawled. She really didn't understand, especially the part related to the thick fog. What was she doing?
What good is it to him to get all these people into his dream? You say it is to make the other party incapacitated and then attack him secretly, but you can sneak into the other party and steal the other party's soul, so by the way
Isn’t it easy to destroy the body? Why go around in such a big circle?
Batman soon realized that Batwoman probably didn't have much dealings with the Joker due to her experience in this universe, or maybe she was just a love brain and didn't pay much attention to the Joker at all. She was all focused on the Joker.
On her dead boyfriend.
This leads Batwoman to ignore a special attribute of the mastermind behind the scenes - he is the Joker, and the purpose of all his plans is not to make profits, but to attack people's hearts.
It is not impossible to say that the clown made a plan to obtain a certain key prop, but this plan must be a process, not a result, nor his original purpose.
He must have taken this prop in order to lay out a larger plan, and the ultimate purpose of this plan was to break Batman's mind.
From this perspective, many seemingly meaningless operations by the mastermind behind the scenes can be explained.
First of all, Robin King's attack severely damaged Arkham Batman's body physically. Pain would torture the human spirit, causing thinking to become distracted and mental strength to be weakened.
Secondly, letting Arkham Batman know that Jason, who was already mentally unstable, was stimulated again, another mental shock, adding another heavy burden on his already weak spirit due to physical weakness.
Then, in order to save himself, Superman also fell into weakness and pain, and even completely lost his previous powerful strength and became worse than ordinary people, which also made Batman even more painful.
In other words, all of this is actually just to torture Batman and make him weak when he enters the dream world.
The Joker's ultimate goal is to defeat Batman, so there must be more disasters in the dream world in the future, and they are the kind of disasters that go straight to the essence and cause Batman to completely collapse.
"What could that be?" Batwoman asked.
"No, we can't think along this line of thinking." Batman denied her and said: "We only think that the Joker does have this ability. He has prepared a seamless plan and is absolutely sure that he will be able to do it in the final dream moment.
Completely destroying Batman's mind, where do you think the Joker will be at this time?"
Batman and Batwoman looked at each other, and the answer was self-evident - how could the Joker allow someone else to destroy Batman with his own hands?
"He often imagines my collapse and calls it some kind of great turning point." Batman said: "At ordinary times, he hopes to be the only jester in front of me, and at this time, he must be the only one.
audience."
"In other words, the monster that combines Batman and the Joker is probably also in the dream world now." Batwoman said.
Batman nodded and said: "Be ready to rush out and give Batman a fatal blow at any time. It seems that we must get through."
Batwoman knew that he was referring to the hole near the portal, and of course they also knew how dangerous it was to jump directly, but at this point, I am afraid that this game has reached the final stage, and they have to go if they don't want to.
Clark was left to guard the bodies of Arkham Batman and Superman, the two fateful twins, while Batman and Batwoman headed to the cave entrance where the portal was located.
There was still danger lurking in the thick fog, but it was not yet a match for Batman and Batwoman. They soon arrived near the entrance of the cave, and before jumping down, Batwoman asked.
"What about the mysterious visitor from the fog? What role do you think he plays in such a drama?"
Batman remembered the tarot card, so he said: "He is far more mysterious than anyone imagined. The monster provoked him in order to let the thick fog cover everything... He will pay a greater price than he imagined."
.”
The two quickly jumped down the hole.
After a long fall, they soon found themselves on the roof of a building. Looking down, this was a very strange city. It looked like Gotham, but it had many more features than Gotham.
building.
"Don't worry about this." Batman said: "Everything is possible in the dream world. If that monster gets the power to fabricate dreams, it won't be surprising if he fabricates anything."
Batwoman knows that Batman is reminding her not to argue with a madman about logic. If the other person is really a combination of Batman and the Joker, he will be really crazy.
"We have to find Batman." Batman looked far away and said, "There must be information about Wayne Group in newspapers and news media. Let's go check it now."
This was easy for them. They casually went into a newspaper to look for news. As expected, the Wayne Group was no longer called the Wayne Group. They also learned about what happened that year from old newspapers.
thing.
"It seems that we are no longer the heirs." Batwoman sighed and said, "But we have to find someone named Bruce Wayne among ordinary people..."
"Go to the Gotham Police Department." Batman said: "They will definitely record where little Bruce went. As long as we can find the files, we can figure out what happened to Batman in this fabricated dream world.
What."
It was already getting dark, so the two of them walked through the last rays of the setting sun and found the Gotham Police Department. To be precise, it was a combination of Gotham and the New York Police Department. This city was called New Jersey City.
The formal method would definitely not be able to retrieve the files. The two of them waited for a while, until it was completely dark, then they walked into the police station with familiarity, locked the file room as quickly as possible, pried open the door and left.
Go in.
The next second, the two of them were enveloped in the light of the flashlight.
"Who's there?!" A female voice came from the depths of the archives room.
Batman and Batwoman looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Did they even meet their colleagues?
As a result, the light of the flashlight flickered again and again, revealing a police uniform. Batman and Batwoman immediately realized that these were not fellow travelers, they were a mouse meeting a cat.
What else is there to say? Batwoman rushed over with a lunge, kicked away the flashlight with a side kick, and then made a crisp and neat grapple, directly holding the opponent on the spot.
Batman picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground. Through the light, the two of them saw that the person being held down was a female police officer, and her name was written on her work ID - "Vigus Guin".
