In the Batcave below Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne, who has put on the Batsuit, is discussing important matters with three "heroic Batman".
Just look at the urgency of this "important matter", just look at Joe Cole, or Mr. "Joker", who is happily clicking away on the "Batcomputer" but no one is paying attention.
"Even if your attitude is very serious and you bring in the Joker to testify, I really don't remember the existence of other 'heroic Batman's, and there is no sign of their existence in Gotham's various surveillance systems," "Bat Dad" said with his hands. "
In my memory, you do have many "Batman fragments" captured from the "Court of Owls", but most of them cannot be used to summon "heroic spirits". In all attempts, only me, Martha and Alf
Red responded to your call, and I guess family ties played a big role in it."
"With all due respect, Master Wayne," "Old Bat" continued: "According to your description, 'Super Bat', 'Two-faced Bat' and 'Batcat' are the ones that caused you...that caused your death in other worlds.
Or those responsible for losing their identity as Batman, even if they were killed in the invasion of the 'Court of Owls' and became 'Heroic Spirits', they probably would not respond to your call out of guilt."
"Let them finish talking, I will just mention one point," "Bat Mom" said: "If it is your cousins, aunts, nieces and other distant relatives who become 'Batwomen', it is understandable to accept the call, but 'sexuality'
Your future self? Put yourself in their shoes, would you accept the call to a world where everyone you know is of the opposite gender? Mother Tamashi? Father Martha? Sister Aphrodite?"
"What are those weird names? How can you teach little Bruce well with such a mental state?" Bat Dad expressed dissatisfaction.
"I match you well, don't you? You're a piece of trash who failed to protect your wife and children." Bat mother choked back.
"If there were a woman to take my job, I think her name would be 'Julia Pennyworth,'" the real Alfred, the butler of Wayne Manor, appeared in the Batcave carrying a plate.
Smoothly interrupting the quarrel of the "original" couple who belong to different worlds: "Does anyone want to try my newly baked cookies?"
"Even you, who are also 'Batman Heroes', have no memory left..." Bruce walked over and took a cookie: "If I am the only person in this universe who still remembers them, this means..."
"And here I am, Mr. Joe Cole, who has an extraordinary memory." The clown turned around from the Batcomputer and waved repeatedly.
"..." Since the "Batman Heroes" present generally did not have a good impression of the Joker in their respective worlds, and Bruce, who was willing to talk to him, was deep in thought, so no one ignored him at all. The Joker finally retracted his arm, scratched his head, and started searching again.
Data on the Batcomputer: "Sure enough, I can't find it. All the things done by the 'disappeared Batman' in my memory were equally divided by these people present~"
"Although I don't remember the people you mentioned, I think this should be a good thing." Alfred put the cookies on the table, straightened his sleeves, and said to Bruce.
"What do you mean?" Bruce looked up at him.
"As you said, Master, you were affected by certain 'rules' in Mr. Waylon Jones' zoo, encountered an accident in a 'non-existent' aquarium, and then went to the 'Super Bat', 'Double' while in a coma.
"Batman" and "The Joker" world, and successfully prevented "yourself" in those worlds from dying or losing their identity as Batman," Alfred said slowly: "But when you returned to our current universe, you found that
Those 'heroic spirits' have disappeared together with the 'rules', and except that you and Mr. Choker still remember them, there is no sign of their existence."
"I originally thought it was about their past dreams," Bruce raised his hand to look at his "Command Spell": "'They' said that after my relationship with the 'heroic spirit' got closer, something like this might happen.
That's why I tried my best to 'make up' for their regrets. Could it be...because their original universe has been destroyed and they are 'heroic spirits' who exist through 'fragments', so once I change their 'past',
Is it equivalent to destroying the 'shards', causing them to cease to exist?"
"Haha," Alfred smiled: "Although you are good at reasoning, analysis and making plans, your thinking is still limited to the 'single universe'."
"Hmm...?" Bruce seemed to have thought of something, but failed to catch the flash of inspiration.
"Before, you took three, no, it should be eight 'Batman Heroes' to fight against the 'Dark Knights' who claimed to be from the 'Multiverse'. Do you still have any impressions? They claimed that they were hunting down and destroying everywhere.
The 'Court of Owls' and 'Traitors' of the single universe expressed their appreciation for our ability to defeat those 'threats of the multiverse' on our own, and said that if your strength breaks through to the 'single universe level' in the future, they may ask for your help.
"At the time, we thought it was just a polite comment," Alfred straightened his back: "But now, being able to interfere with other universes proves that your strength has indeed exceeded the 'single universe' level."
"In other words," Bruce's tone became more relaxed: "Those heroic spirits did not 'disappear', but 'no longer have the identity of Batman'? But that is clearly history that has already happened..."
"I think this is because the 'Court of Owls' has been completely eliminated, and those Batman who call themselves the 'Dark Knights' are working on repairing the multiverse," Alfred said: "The 'rules' and '
Dreams are the embodiment of the repair process. They will not affect ordinary people after the repair is completed, but when you, who already have multiverse level strength, interfere, it will cause those repaired universes to behave in your way.
The result will prevail - do you still remember how you explained to me when you tried to use the power of unknown origin to summon the 'heroic Batman'?"
"[Get the power to deny the world from outside the world]," Bruce replied: "But at that time I just wanted to deal with those from outside the world..."
"No matter what you thought specifically at the beginning, what you wanted to 'deny', it has now been realized on a much larger scale," Alfred interrupted: "If I am right,
Your behavior of changing those universes may be as conspicuous as a torch in the night in the eyes of the 'Dark Knights'. They will soon contact you again, invite you to join, and use your 'multiverse-level' power to deal with me for the time being.
An unimaginable enemy."
"..."
Alfred's words were well-founded and logical. Bruce couldn't think of a flaw for a moment, so he decided to treat this reasoning as fact for the time being.
If the statement that "his strength has broken through the single universe" is true, and history can even be modified, then... Bruce glanced at the "Bat Dad" and "Bat Mom" who were still arguing over there.
