What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 134 Black's Essence
In a separate room of the Bat-Family's underground base in Metropolis, Alfred is busy on a video call.

"What? Continue to work on Robin... Master Tim, with all due respect, I'm afraid I have to tell you that there is no Bat-family business in Gotham that requires your participation... Haven't you read the news?"

While talking to Tim, Alfred took the time to glance at the monitor next to him.

In the surveillance is the image of the combat training area of ​​this underground base.

The mud-faced man was wearing a Robin uniform, he was holding dumbbells, and then he jumped to the side and started doing horizontal bar hanging leg raises.

——I really don’t know why a big pile of mud is necessary to exercise the abdominal muscles.

But he's Mudface, and a conscientious actor trains everything Robin has to train.

Alfred saw that the opponent started to train his glutes.

He leans over while yelling something like "I'm the Robin with the busiest ass" and...

Ok……

Then his two buttocks grew bigger like blowing balloons, and the peacock spread behind him like the wings of a butterfly, and then began to clamp ten spring arm bars at the same time.

As he worked out, chunks of abs immediately emerged from his hips.

The ventriloquist stands nearby in a maid outfit, holding a snack in his hand.

This is the one that Harley wore before, (this maid outfit appeared in Chapter 102) and then she stopped wearing it, so the ventriloquist...

Alfred shook his head, stopped paying attention to the monitoring, turned around and continued to perfunctory the third-generation Robin Tim Drake:

"Master Bruce almost ended the crimes in Gotham all by himself... What, you said that was Superman? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Tim on the other side of the screen looked as if his IQ had been insulted.

Alfred calmed him down:
"Even if I disobey Master Bruce's order and give you permission to enter the Batcave? You have no work to do. So go to school obediently. Haven't you been studying for three months with peace of mind? A child should look like a child, and stop thinking about fighting crime all day long."

"Did you finish the paper? Did you get an A+ for the exam? Did you preview tomorrow's class? How do you sleep well at your age?"

"Oh...it's all done."

Alfred was immediately refuted by the other party, so the witty old butler said:
"Did you talk to your girlfriend?"

This time it was the turn of the three generations of Robin on the opposite side of the screen.

He choked for a moment, then couldn't help but said anxiously:

"You promised me that after Gotham's crime ban is lifted in three months, if necessary, you will let me return to Robin's job!"

"If there is a need." Alfred emphasized: "Obviously, not now."

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

Tim on the other side of the screen went crazy for a while, and then started Please, and Alfred watched the other party's performance quietly.

"I just don't understand that Harley Quinn has spent three months in the biggest nightclub in the Metropolis, dancing until her calf cramps.

Killer Crocodile, who is still on parole, used banknotes to become a director in the film and television city. Deadshooter simply settled in the metropolis and got a new girlfriend. Why can everyone go to the metropolis, but not me? ? ? "

Alfred squinted at the monitor next to him.

There is also Mudface who wears a Robin uniform every day and turns into you to roam the city, and Arnold, the new maid of the Bat family, the ventriloquist - since the other party picked up the one that Harley Quinn dropped casually Maid outfit, now his self-positioning has changed.

It's not a dog anymore.

Oh, and there is Poison Ivy who is doing experiments every day. She also deliberately moved to the top floor of the office building invested by Wayne to conduct experiments. There are all glass windows, which are almost the same as the open air.

Through photosynthesis, Poison Ivy can directly save the time for eating.

Lucius was busy dissecting half of Doomsday's corpse. Everyone has been very busy these days.

"Alfred, are you listening to me?"

Alfred hurriedly continued to draw the pie:
"And you, the prospect of being Robin is great..."

"Young people, you need more..."

"I'll let you in half a year..."

"School? Isn't it Robin's job to go to school?"

"Don't be so ambitious..."

Alfred spent a long time talking, and finally hung up Tim's call.

The old butler wiped the cold sweat off his brow.

Generally speaking, disobeying Batman's orders is basically the traditional skill of Robin in the past.Tim was able to go to school in Gotham obediently for so long, in addition to being the most obedient Robin in history, Alfred's cake painting skills are also indispensable.

Of course, there is also the fact that Superman single-handedly blew up the entire Gotham crime incident.

The mud-faced man was still training his gluteus maximus.

Alfred turned his head and saw his Bruce was back on the door control.He immediately pressed the button on the keyboard to open the door for the other party.

After a few minutes.

"How did the negotiations with Black go, Master Bruce?"

Alfred put the tray in his hand on the table next to Chen Tao, on which was still Alfred's secret chicken stuffed sandwich.

Chen Tao picked it up and took a bite.

Alfred's heart trembled, and the familiar frown appeared on Bruce's forehead again.

"It's terrible." Chen Tao put the chicken stuffed sandwich on the table.

He crossed his hands, his eyes deep: "I made a small mistake in my judgment of Black before."

"Tell me specifically?"

Alfred said.

"I already knew that Black was a villain, but unfortunately, I didn't know why he was a villain."

He turned to look at Alfred: "I bet he doesn't even have the slightest intention to abide by the restrictions Amanda set for him."

Chen Tao couldn't help recalling the conversation he had with Black before.

……

……

……

"We have grounds for cooperation, Batman."

Blake stood on the round roof, looking into the distance.

A piece of tile was lifted off by his thought power, and it flew in front of him, like a nimble fish swimming mischievously.

"Famine in the distance, ruthless wars, natural disasters, man-made disasters, gambling, human trafficking, drug trade, skin and meat business, fools who rob and kill people, lackeys of the government, despicable cheaters, from the moment human history begins, these crimes have been have been permeated throughout our history, and they still exist today."

Black pointed to Superman who was still giving a speech below: "'You can't eat and walk around, be careful next time you do evil' Do you really think that this method can eradicate evil?"

Blake said:
"I grew up in crime. I know exactly what crime looks like."

"I know what you did in Gotham, I like it, it would be better if you didn't send all the dirty upper class people to prison. But it's okay."

Seeing that Batman was silent and did not speak, Black changed the subject abruptly.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked into the distance.

He said: "I still remember when I awakened to superpowers. You know, the common problem of puberty, the headache, that feeling like my body is against me."

He smiled.

"But with that one, my sister Vera was almost thrown in front of a moving train and killed."

Black made a bang on his head:
"Boom! Goodbye, headache. Hello, superpowers."

The tile that was manipulated by the power of thought and kept flying in front of him was torn into powder by the power of thought in an instant.

"At that moment, I was inspired by something." He raised his hands: "A sense of responsibility, a manifest destiny:"

"You were born to eradicate the evils that have not disappeared for tens of millions of years!"

He hovered and flew, circling Batman standing there silently.

"The world is broken, Batman. Humans are incapable of eradicating their own evil. They are ignorant, superstitious, cowardly, weak. And that's why we exist, and we were born to lead humanity to a better world."

Then he finally heard Batman speak:

"You mean we should rule them?"

Blake flew over each other's head:

"To be precise, it's not domination. I prefer to call it purification."

He said:
"It's like cutting out carrion, you know? Cutting out the dirty, the diseased, leaving only the normal."

He opened his hands: "Reshape the world according to our wishes!"

"You're domination." And then he heard Batman say, "If an act looks like domination and acts like domination, then he is."

Blake stared at him.

"Ok."

He concluded by saying, "It's really domination. But, Batman."

"I'm sorry to be so boastful, but I have to say that for ordinary people, the power of us superpowers is no different from that of gods. The strong always rule the weak, and only the born weak will think it is cruel .”

"We can do much more than the government can do. We can completely eradicate the evil, destroy the villains, and show those cowardly governments what we are capable of."

"There is no more arguing with each other, no more ridiculous democratic voting, no more ridiculous three-division trial, lawyers are exonerated, only the simple good live, and the evil die! Justice is declared, and evil is purified!"

"This is our God-given ability, but also our God-given power and God-given obligation. On the day I woke up, I realized that we came to this world with such power, and we must have come to achieve some great cause. We are born to finish what Jesus left unfinished!"

"You put yourself above mortals, Blake, what do you think you are?"

"Come on, Batman. Think about it, Brainiac, and that Superman who is allied with you. Humans need guidance, but we must never entrust our fate to aliens. We must fight with those aliens." Protect our planet from the hands of the gods of the planet. To protect our planet from the hands of a god, then we must transform into..."

Then he saw Batman staring at him: "No one is god."

They looked at each other again.

"And, I hope you realize that the quote you just quoted comes from Hitler."

Blake shook his head.He sighed.

"I'm not fascist. I'm just chasing justice."

Batman doesn't speak.Black flew out of the roof and stepped into the void:

"It seems that the conversation has come to an end. We are not speculative, and maybe we are taking different paths. But then again, before we finish talking, I still want to ask—"

"What is your superpower?"

Batman doesn't speak.

"Don't get me wrong, it's just that the abilities you showed before are very complicated, and I really didn't fully understand them."

"Are you a vampire or something? You can turn your body into fine sand and..."

Batman kept silent, and Black finally realized something was wrong.

He swept the opponent up and down with his psychic ability.

Except for the lump of iron in his brain, he is completely an ordinary person with relatively well-developed muscles.

"But...but you fought the Kryptonians before..." Black's brain couldn't make a turn for a while: "Aren't you...you completely rely on kryptonite?"

He suddenly realized: "You asked Superman to fight for justice in Gotham instead of you, so that Batman can be so fast!"

"So, you're just a normal guy in a bat cosplay costume?!"

"No, I still have money."

Then Black heard Batman's muffled voice:
"I have money."

Then Black saw the opponent snap his fingers, and an invisible bat plane full of sci-fi style appeared from the void not far from him.

Black just watched helplessly as the other party boarded this seemingly expensive plane, and then flew away in a hurry.

He was the only one left standing stupidly in the air.

……

"So, this is the result." Chen Tao exhaled:
"Blake's ideas are more dangerous than we thought, an internet cynic/human racist/new age petite fascist with superpowers capable of fighting a nuke.

We should get ready for him - what a mess. "

He manipulated the Batcomputer, and countless news headlines appeared from the computer.

"Now Black and his Ultra-British League kill criminals like chickens, gathering a large group of supporters."

Chen Tao said in a low voice: "To deal with them, we need to think long-term."

He turned his head to Alfred and asked: "By the way, there is another matter. Are you still tracking Bain?"

"Yes, Master Bruce." Alfred answered him: "But we found nothing. We have never found his whereabouts. After our old opponent left Gotham with a few Arkham villains rescued by him, It disappeared directly into the sea of ​​people. It also disappeared together with the red hood you asked me to pay special attention to. Bane must have made a big move, but he doesn't know what it is."

……

……

……

Let's switch perspective to the other side.

Bane is sitting in a tavern, surrounded by all kinds of villains.

He squinted, watching an argument in the center of the tavern.
