The Laughing Bat laughed crazily until his whole body became weak and collapsed on the ground, drooling on the cold ground. His harsh voice continued to echo in the Bat Cave.
He is crazy, but not crazy either.
He knows that everyone is a character in the comics, and Batman is the trump card of the editors, including himself.
As long as all the Batmans are killed for a very sudden reason, once the editors try to resurrect them, there must be a very exciting story or a suitable reason, otherwise it will be a huge "poison point".
It's easy to resurrect a Batman, but what about resurrecting everyone in all the worlds at the same time? There is no other way except to restart the world.
He knew that DC Comics had just been restarted and the New 52 was reborn. If it were suddenly restarted, a large number of fans would definitely cancel their subscriptions. Without fans, there would be no money. Without money, the company would go bankrupt. Maybe the comic company would be acquired, and the character
They will be created by others again, but as long as he keeps tossing and restarting the world again and again, the money of any big consortium cannot be blown by the wind.
By then, everyone will be free, and now is just the first step.
As for what editors will do if they don't draw themselves after the world restarts? He's not worried at all. When people know there is a Pandora's box but don't know what's inside, they will always open it.
He understands human curiosity all too well.
The Robin Hounds carried him back to his seat in a hurry. He calmed down his breathing, wiped the tears from laughter, and rubbed the panel of the huge console in front of him. This console was called Brother Eye.
He once had a similar one.
Yes, whatever Bruce has in the main world, he once had.
Batmobile, Butler, Wayne Enterprises, Catwoman, Robins, Justice League, he has it all.
Originally, he was just infected by the Joker's virus and was not completely hopeless. If it didn't work out, he could also choose to freeze himself. The Justice League has such equipment.
However, he chose a different path from what Su Ming saw in the comics. He gathered the Justice League and found the universal wishing machine in their world.
This is a very powerful machine, its origin is completely unknown, but it can realize any wish of a person.
Some people may say it is the Holy Grail of the DC world. In fact, it looks more like a large train engine. Not only does it require a lot of electricity to operate, but it also makes a lot of noise. When it starts, it makes everyone around it feel like thunder.
Blast to the top.
This is a prop of the law of cause and effect. As long as it meets the logical requirements, it can realize everything, but there is only one wish at a time, and then the machine will disappear and appear in a certain corner of the universe hundreds of years later.
The setting is a bit like the dragon in Dragon Ball.
If you want to kill Darkseid, just make a wish on the machine and Darkseid will be erased. If you want to rule the world, then everyone will surrender to your rule from the bottom of their hearts.
The Laughing Bat wants to use that machine to find a way to make an antidote and a way to save the earth.
But what is the essence of the universal wishing machine in the comic world? What realizes this wish is not the will of the world or special energy, but the editors and artists.
The universal wishing machine is actually a machine that conveys wishes to editors. It is a giant telegraph machine.
The crazy factor suppressed by the Joker virus in his heart, coupled with Batman's curiosity and sense of responsibility, when the editors planned to put a thought bubble on this picture of him, the wishing machine became his door, and he saw the wall
Everything outside.
So he understood, and he immediately made his own plan.
First, he will continue to act according to the fate assigned to him by the editors, and wait for a variable, a person who is not controlled by the editors, that is his opportunity.
The editors let him kill his children, his friends, his relatives, and destroy his own world.
He did everything, but was he really crazy?
Why does his uniform helmet cover his eyes? Because he can't let people see his heart. He actually maintains the lowest level of sanity. He is far from as crazy as the clown. He can feel pain.
Although everything he owns is fake, he has great feelings for them.
Let the people sitting in the office be proud for a while, they think they have made up a good story, but now the puppets in their hands have their own plans, and now they are waiting for the theater to black out or the police to inspect.
Then the puppets come to life and turn the musical into a horror movie...
Barbatos's plan is very stupid. Those people will not allow him to succeed. There must be someone who is not under their control to accomplish something.
The Laughing Bat is acting out his own script, waiting for an opportunity.
He said the lines in the play and used crazy thoughts to cover up his real thoughts, so no one noticed that he was wrong.
He waited, and when the Red Death lost contact, he discovered that the story was completely out of the control of the screenwriters, which made him ecstatic.
But he used madness to pretend not to care and covered up the news of the deaths of those people. Even Barbatos was fooled by him.
He knew that someone had killed Batman wantonly, even though it was a few crazy Batmans, but they were originally villains of the Justice League and were originally scheduled to die at the hands of the Alliance.
He found that for some reason, it was as if the editors had all gone on strike, and the world seemed to have become ownerless. He was free to think and do what he wanted to do.
Unfortunately, although he gained freedom, it was still false, and he decided to resist to the end.
.............................
There are indeed people in American superhero comics who can break the fourth wall and realize the real world, but there are not many of them.
A typical example is Deadpool and Gwen next door. One is completely crazy, and the other is a time traveler.
As an audience in China, I have actually known a comic character who can break the fourth wall very early. That person is the ace of Dark Horse Comics in the United States - the weirdo in disguise. The green-faced weirdo in a yellow suit likes to communicate with the audience the most.
Already.
In fact, Dark Horse Comics, as the third largest comics company in the United States, was also the first to enter the Chinese market. Their comic book movies had already been on TV in every household before Marvel turned around.
People may not know the name of their company, but they certainly know the characters they create.
Jim Carrey's "The Man in Disguise", Stallone's "The Judge", Jessica Alba and Bruce Willis's "Sin City".
In addition, the comic copyrights for Tarzan, Alien, Predator, Hellboy, 300, and Underworld Police are now owned by Dark Horse.
In DC, there are more people who can break the fourth wall. The early Superman was able to wink at readers and even communicate directly in comics.
After Silver Superboy was killed, there were Superboy-Prime, Bat-Elf, Troublemaker, and Ambush Bug, all of whom could more or less detect what was going on outside the wall. Even Bat-Elf and Troublemaker were simply fifth-dimensional creatures. They
You can use the eraser to erase other characters and stories from a higher level.
But apart from that, the one who is more popular now is Harley Quinn in the main world. She is crazy enough and psychologically analyzed herself, and heard the discussion and arrangement of her character story in the editorial department.
After she broke up with the clown, the little lunatic fell into a state of confusion and emptiness, always talking to herself. These behaviors made her even crazier. After a while, she found that she could hear another strange voice.
.
That's actually what anyone who sees comics thinks, whether it's an editor, an artist or a reader.
Now in the main world, she can take the initiative to communicate directly with editors and artists. For example, she can ask the editor-in-chief to choose her favorite artist to draw herself. When arranging the story, she should arrange more handsome supporting characters for her, and she should have waistcoat lines and eight-pack abs.
She prefers Steve, who draws Zatanna for a magazine. Of course, Jim Lee, the ace artist in the DC editorial department, is also very good. Unfortunately, he has to draw Superman and Batman and is too busy.
She also has a few favorites from the Marvel artist next door. She also had nightmares about being chased by the second-generation Black Widow. She dreamed that she was shot in the abdomen and was in excruciating pain. However, it was actually because she ate six hot dogs the night before.
.
The artist Charlie on the opposite "The Walking Dead" is also pretty good, but unfortunately the DC editorial department could only find the artist on "The Powerpuff Girls". She wasn't sure if this style would suit her.
In terms of climbing over walls, her ability is even stronger than that of Deadpool. Through this ability, she can see ghosts in the comic world because she knows that the artist painted the ghosts there.
You can talk to any thinking thing, because the editor will write their thoughts in the text bubbles painted on the animals' heads.
She can enter other people's dreams and play, because everyone is in a comic, and she only needs to turn over a few grids.
To go to the real world, she only needs to go out for a walk, and she can even drive others there. She attends the San Diego Comic-Con every year, and once sneaked into the Marvel booth to find Stan Lee and meet with big names from the animation industry and even Hollywood.
The guys were chatting and laughing...
During this major metal event, she was very interested in the Laughing Bat. She thought the combination of Batman and the Joker was very interesting, and then she threw herself into a trap and wanted to get close to the Laughing Bat.
Of course she climbed up the tree. The Laughing Bat noticed her difference and couldn't let her ruin his plan, so she is still hanging on the tuning fork.
Harley didn't care. She knew the ending from the editor a long time ago. In short, the Justice League would still save everyone. It just so happened that she also wanted to play in the nightmare.
Isn’t it good to have nothing to lose and still experience a nightmare like never before?
Harley was very happy.
However, if she could go over the wall again to confirm, she would find that she could not contact anyone...
Because the arrival of Su Ming, a time traveler, triggered a series of butterfly effects, causing the Laughing Bat to make completely different choices, and also made the world escape the control of the editorial department, everything was different.
.....................
Barry led Su Ming through the dilapidated streets. Su Ming has now become dependent on Barry, the 'Speed Force vehicle'. Although Superman's flying speed is not slow, the process is obviously not as good as being wrapped in the Speed Force.
Comfortable.
Gotham, which was already chaotic and dilapidated, had half of the city in ruins after this incident. When the Court of Owls was building the city, amber gold was mixed into many buildings. These buildings were turned into Barbatos.
Challenger Mountain.
It is impossible to turn Challenger Mountain back into a high-rise building at this time, and Bruce may have to change his blueprint for post-disaster reconstruction.
But no matter what, Green Arrow rebuilt Star City, Hal rebuilt Coast City, and Batman rebuilt Gotham not once or twice. This is his city, and he is very happy to take responsibility for it.
"How much did Bruce spend the last time he rebuilt Gotham?"
Su Ming looked at the damaged shops on the street. The TVs inside had fallen off the shelves, but they were still playing news from Gotham TV.
This should be a recording, but the time doesn't match up. I mean, the reporter should be following the Gotham Resistance, right? We didn't see Green Arrow and the others on the battlefield just now, which means that he once again completely missed the opportunity to show his face.
Pale, perfectly sauced.
Barry also looked at the surrounding scene out of the corner of his eye. The once prosperous area in the city center was now almost like a slum.
"He didn't say it, but it is said that it is less than we thought. Cyborg secretly said that Wayne Enterprises actually makes a little more every time it rebuilds Gotham through land swaps and seeking policies and loans from the government."
Think about it this way, if people who originally lived in the city center could survive such a catastrophe, the first thing they would want to do after they are safe is to move to the countryside and never live in a big city again.
There will be lawyers looking for heirs to the deceased person's house, and who of the out-of-town heirs would be willing to live in the tragic place where the accident just happened? Of course, the house should be sold and discounted.
Therefore, for a long time, the housing prices in Gotham City will definitely fall below the freezing point. Wayne Enterprises will first take over these lands and properties, renovate them, and then live a peaceful life. Naturally, forgetful humans will be willing to buy and rent them.
.
"Ruthless capitalists..."
Su Ming smiled and shook his head, no longer looking at the cracked roads around him and the scorched corpses lying on them, and began to prepare his plan.
First of all, after arriving at the Bat Cave, you must isolate the positive and negative brains from contact to ensure your own safety.
After that, check to see if Diana is there, and if possible, join her to increase combat effectiveness. Then you can gather the girl's human shield, the speedster, and the melee chopper team of professional warriors.
Finally, we need to find out the clown hiding in Bruce's house. We can't let him watch the fun. He must either help or leave quickly. It's enough to have a madman in the same place at the same time.
I went through this plan twice in my mind and found no major flaws. Other details, such as avoiding traps or traps, can be completely improvised.
This problem is a bit like how many steps are needed to close the elephant in the refrigerator. Su Ming prefers a three-step plan.
Discuss the plan with Barry. After all, he moves faster, and Su Ming will contain the Laughing Bat when he takes various actions.
In the comics, it seems that the Laughing Bat is the weakest of the Nightmare Batman. Although he may have obtained some Bruce's props now, Su Ming is very sure.
He has a counter plan for every character he knows, and this plan is much more thorough than Batman's.
However, Su Ming still doesn't know what kind of laughing bat the butterfly effect has created.
