I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 404 The Joker and Bateman's First Official Meeting

It was two o'clock in the morning when Gordon got home.

"The kids are asleep?" he said wearily, taking off his coat.

Xiao Lai was wearing pajamas, with red marks on his face pressed on the pillow, obviously just woke up.

Before Gordon came out of the bathroom, she brought out a large plate of stir-fried egg and pork noodles and a glass of warm milk from the microwave.

"What time is it now? Of course Barbara and Jim are sleeping. But you are not in good spirits. Is there another murder? You"

Xiao Lai looked at the small horn pendant under his neck with a worried expression.

Gordon didn't hide it either, "The identity of the deceased is special, I must quickly find out the identity of the murderer."

"Isn't there Bateman? Since it's an important case, let him investigate it." Xiao Lai said.

Gordon smiled bitterly: "As a police superintendent, I must always be worthy of my police badge."

Xiao Lai said: "There have been a lot of super criminals popping up in Gotham recently, I'm not sure if they are your responsibility."

Gordon's movements paused for a moment, and he asked sullenly, "Is there something in your words?"

"You were not as busy as you are now a few years ago." Xiao Lai said.

"I'm very busy."

"There are a lot of things going on in Gotham now, it's not as peaceful as before." Xiao Lai sighed.

"You go around suggesting that the chaos in Gotham comes from Batman?" Gordon frowned.

"I know Batman is a great drag hero, but Gotham really isn't getting any better.

Everyone knows you have a close relationship with Batman because you often summon him with the Bat-Light.

That's where my biggest complaint about him is - he puts you in danger. "Xiao Lai said seriously.

"Have you ever thought that I got him into trouble? He could have been a leisurely and wealthy man, but now he carries my dream." Gordon said softly.

Xiao Lai looked puzzled, "Your dream?"

Gordon nodded slightly, "Everything Batman is doing now is what I dreamed of doing, but because of the helplessness and powerlessness in reality, I can't do it.

You think I am helping him, but we are actually helping each other. "

"I really didn't know that in the past few years of peace, you have been dissatisfied.

I always thought that for the peace of Gotham, you don't care about the means and the process.

Like you once compromised with Falcone and even worked with Copperport.

During the years when Gotham was stable and prosperous, you were also trying to cooperate with Harley. "Xiao Lai said in surprise.

Gordon smiled bitterly: "If I had superhuman strength, Batman's will and wisdom, I would have put on the cape and done it myself.

But I have no power to change reality, I can only compromise with reality.

In the face of "Gotham in troubled times", I choose the peaceful and prosperous age of "King Halle", which is more beneficial to the people.

I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times!

Instead of Gotham in chaos, let an emperor rule us. "

After a pause, he said with a complicated expression: "Tonight I met a gang member named 'Flying Eagle Hawk', and he complained to me—he is obviously not weaker than others, but he is only a third-class citizen on Hei Dao.

The 'Iron Fist' Malone who was killed tonight was only because he was Harley's trusted gunman and easily controlled a pier.

He is a first class citizen.

Did you see it?

Gotham is like Harry's private kingdom, both black and white are divided into status levels similar to noble titles, and she has the final say on the ownership of each position.

Even if she didn't say it, or even didn't bother to manage it, the people below were also consciously sorted according to her will.

Such Gotham is of course peaceful and serene, because no one can rebel.

However, even Hawk Hawk, who is in Heibang, is full of resentment, and it is even more impossible for ordinary people to freely realize their will in their own cities.

So, I've made a better choice now - true peace and tranquility where the people of Gotham are in charge. "

"Are you sure Batman can do it? Gotham seems to be more chaotic." Xiao Lai said.

Gordon said: "I believe in Batman, he is braver than me, and he is trying to do it.

Lai, you can trust him too.

There will always be a brief period of chaos from the beginning of the collapse of the old kingdom to the establishment of a new democratic republic, but the future is bound to be bright. "

Xiao Lai sighed: "It doesn't matter whether I believe him or not, but I support you."

"Thank you." Gordon stretched out his big hand and held her catkin.

After a moment of warmth, Xiao Lai hesitated and said: "Barbara is going to be released from prison, do you know?"

"Barbara" Gordon was stunned, and the figure of his ex-fiancee appeared in his mind.

Barbara Keene, who caused a series of tragedies with Galavan and Jerome the Clown, was finally arrested.

She voluntarily surrendered herself.

With a big belly, it is said to be Gordon's species.

It turned out afterwards that she was really conceived after having an affair with Gordon, that is, Barbara Gordon, the eldest daughter of Lai and Gordon.

"Say, do you want Xiaoba to know about her biological mother?" Gordon was troubled.

Xiao Lai guessed his thoughts immediately, and asked, "Are you worried that Barbara wants to see her daughter?"

Gordon nodded slightly, "Of course it would be best to tell Xiaoba about her life experience when she becomes an adult, but no one can stop a mother from seeing her child."

"You can ask Big Barbara first."

In the end, Gordon still couldn't negotiate with Big Barbara.

Because on the eve of her release from prison, on the night of the 23rd, she escaped from prison.

December 12, 24:01 am.

Gotham, Arkham Asylum.

The large iron gate was smashed open by a heavy truck from the outside, and the glass wall of the checkpoint was smashed by machine guns. The guards threw their bodies on the ground before they could even draw their guns to fight back.

By the time Jim Gordon arrived with the GCPD, Batman had already inspected the crime scene—the entirety of Arkham Asylum.

At this moment, he was standing in the middle of the front yard with a solemn expression.

"What's going on?" Gordon asked anxiously.

Batman pursed his lips, with a seriousness on his face that he had never seen before.

"Someone robbed the prison, and all the serious prisoners in the mental hospital were robbed, including several people in the special cell on the 7th floor of the basement-Harry's private criminal.

She actually set up a private prison in Arkham, and used the prisoners as guinea pigs to experiment with magic potions and newly learned martial arts and magic. "

"How do you know?" Gordon asked puzzled, "If Halle really did that, she definitely wouldn't leave a record for you to see."

Batman took him into Arkham, found the hidden elevator, and went all the way to the seventh floor.

In the innermost cell, Gordon saw a yellow-haired weirdo squatting in a corner, holding his head in his hands, and muttering "I'm very good, don't hit me" like a repeater.

"He is?" Gordon looked sideways at the label on the iron door, "Jerome Valeska"

"Shit, he was the clown back then!" Gordon squatted down, staring at him in disbelief.

A youthful and handsome face became pale and swollen, as if gaining weight, getting fat?

The sharp and crazy light in his eyes disappeared, replaced by numbness, bewilderment and panic.

"Tell me what they did to you." Batman said hoarsely.

Jerome said blankly:

Dr. Strange took me to the infirmary, strapped me to strange machines, and sometimes gave me medicine.

A woman who can conjure vines."

"You're pretending to be crazy!" Gordon's eyes were sharp. "It's impossible for a madman to speak so methodically."

"My mental illness was cured by Dr. Quinn, and I'm normal now." Jerome's eyes were slightly dull, but his expression was calm.

"This..." Gordon was stunned. Is this crazy or not?

"Why didn't you run away?" he asked.

"I'm afraid that the man in combat uniform told me to leave, but I won't leave. If I behave badly, Doctor Quinn and Doctor Strange will be very upset. I don't dare to make them angry." Jerome flinched.

"He was crippled, he was crippled by Harley Quinn. I tested his pulse, heartbeat and micro-expression before, and there was no trace of lying." Batman sighed in a hoarse and low voice.

"Even the clown. He's not disabled, but healed, Quin's miracle doctor, well-deserved reputation!" Gordon struggled.

Batman's tough cheeks exposed outside the hood twitched slightly, "Are you sure you are a genius doctor?"

"Maybe, everyone says she is the best psychiatrist in Gotham, and the results after treatment are very good.

Many wealthy families went to the cathedral to worship in order to find her to see a doctor for their children.

Because Sister Quinn also uses psychological methods to help believers who are lost on the road of life.

After her teaching, many rich second generations who did evil in school have become like dogs, which seems to be really effective. "Gordon wasn't sure.

The two walked out of the prison while talking, Jerome, who was muttering in the corner, raised his head, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
After leaving the prison, Batman said in a deep voice: "I don't care how effective Harley's method is, but what she did in Arkham violated the law.

I won't let her get involved in Arkham Mental Hospital again. "

At the end, he emphasized again: "This hospital is owned by the Wayne Group."

"Harry is also the major shareholder of Wayne Group." Gordon said immediately.

Batman was stunned, "She's not old enough."

"Can you manage it?" Gordon lowered his voice and looked worried: "You took away the control of the pier from the Penguin, the pier is dead every day, gun battles every night, and countless foreign gangs have entered Gotham to fight for territory.

Now the Avengers are transporting unknown dangerous goods to Gotham through the pier.

You took away the management rights of the arsenal, the microwave evaporator developed by Wayne Military Industry was stolen, and the price of weapons in the mercenary supermarket was lowered three times in half a year—because a large number of arms from Wayne Military Industry of unknown origin flowed into the market, yes Supermarket business has had a huge impact. "

"The security of the arsenal has been replaced by Bruce Wayne, and the dock management system is also being redesigned." Batman said solemnly.

Gordon sighed, "It's useless to change anyone else, you have to watch it yourself, and I don't object to your approach, it's just that you have to eat every bite, and you can't chew as much as you want."

Batman said: "Arkham Mental Hospital is managed by her, isn't there a large-scale prison escape? Her home is right next door."

"I called the manor, and she hasn't been at home for the past two days." Gordon said with a serious expression: "Normal people would not touch Arkham, not to mention that it is not good, and it will annoy her.

But someone just did it, just as she was leaving, what do you think that means?
Those who dare to provoke her are not easy.

Things are beyond our control and Halle must be found immediately. "

Batman continued to walk out, saying to himself as he walked: "There is no need to look for her, I have already found out the true identity of the person behind the scenes, and I know what he wants to do.

Robbing prisoners is not the goal.

In the past two days, Gotham will be messed up by escaped criminals, and he can concentrate on preparing to destroy Gotham's plan.

It's a pity that I have seen through his mind, and now, I will arrest him. "

As he said that, he also turned on the communication watch and shouted: "Call Flying Robin the Cat, and go to the Arkham Mental Hospital immediately, there is a big operation tonight."

"With Robin cat in the lineup, I can handle him. He is just an ordinary martial artist." He turned to Gordon.

"I'm doing my hair, you wait for half an hour." Robin cat said.

Batman's movements froze, and he said dumbly, "Why are you doing your hair again?"

"What's 'again', the last time I had my hair done was a week ago, and I went to the sewer with you, and my body stinks for two days." Robin cat called.

Batman sighed, turned off the comm, and muttered, "I need a Robin who doesn't have to make hair."
