What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 297 Bane is rescued, Reverse Flash and Flash uniform

Chen Tao left Shazam and stood there silently. He had no time to comfort poor Billy Batson because the matter was far from over.

He returned to Meditation Mite again, picked up Meditation Mite, and at the same time gave Darkseid unceremonious instructions:
"Go stop Steppenwolf and Wonder Woman from fighting and bring them both here."

"Then don't move around here and wait for me to come back to arrange the next thing."

Immediately afterwards, he held the meditation mite in one hand and twisted out a golden ball with the other hand, which was the golden ball, the treasure of the King of Death.

As the golden portal created by the golden ball rippled, Chen Tao raised his feet, and when he was about to walk in, he suddenly remembered something, then turned to Darkseid and said:
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. You still have one thing to do: arrest Dr. Sivana. You and Steppenwolf will handle this matter together. Steppenwolf will tell Dr. Sivana what happened. Who is it? This guy is good at protecting himself wisely, and he has disappeared since the beginning of the battle. I don’t want him to cause any trouble for me in the future if I miss him this time.”

Chen Tao is not worried that Darkseid cannot catch Dr. Sivana.Steppenwolf has done a good job in its preliminary work. Several villains have basically confirmed the main course of action centered on "surrender to Darkseid". Even if some people have small thoughts, this is generally the case.

Therefore, once Darkseid and Steppenwolf start backstabbing, it will be difficult to trick Dr. Sivana into showing up, and it will be a piece of cake to deal with him.

After completing the mission, Chen Tao didn't care about Darkseid's reaction. He crossed tens of millions of kilometers and appeared on Ismot, the base camp of Atrocitus.

He landed on the ground. Under the valley not far away, the central energy battery of the red light was burning brightly.Chen Tao flew closer with Meditation Mite, and then he saw Atrocitus half-kneeling in front of the central energy battery. In front of him was an extremely complicated blood magic array that had been drawn.

"Have you finished preparing what you should do?" Chen Tao asked him.

"Of course, Batman." Atrocitus, who had his back turned to Batman, replied: "I have been prepared since I came back from the Origin Wall. Everything is already in place. A magic circle that completely eliminates the darkness in William Hand's heart."

He turned his head:
"It will be more profound and effective than me simply using the cosmic magic wand to eliminate it. You... What the ***!"

Before Atrocitus finished speaking, he saw the half-dead Meditation Mite being beaten to a pulp and being carried by Batman. The face of the anthropomorphic insect was full of grievances, but at this moment His electronic speaker was still in Chen Tao's hand, leaving him unable to do anything at all.

The insect face of Meditation Mite suddenly became excited when he saw Atrocitus appearing in front of him. The insect's mouthparts kept hissing, but Atrocitus could not understand a word.

Chen Tao picked up the half-dead Meditation Mite from the ground. Although he had never been sure whether Meditation Mite was the person behind the capture of William Hand, he also did not know what means Meditation Mite used to get William Hand. Let's go...

But since I saw the appearance of Meditation Mite at Hand Funeral Home, and after talking to Atrocitus about Meditation Mite claiming to him that "only I can help him find William Hand", the answer is basically ready to come out. , and they are almost the same.

At this time, William Hand was just an unknown person, or even a minor child. He was not the first Black Lantern Corpse who would be the key figure in the "Blackest Night" incident in the future.

Unless the Black Death Emperor is going to break into the material universe now and directly kidnap his apostle, who will kidnap William Hand?

Having said that, if the Black Death Emperor now has the ability to directly enter the universe, there is no need for him to cultivate William Hand.

As for how to make the Meditation Mite speak...

Atrocitus saw lightning created by the power of Thunder Shazam wrapped around Chen Tao's hand.

oh!Atrocitus knew that one. Meditation Mite had been deliberately trying to get this thing before, and he did succeed later.After all, the Lord of the Red Lantern has been in Meditation Mite's gang for quite some time, so he still knows all this.

Did Batman use the power of living lightning to induce the Meditation Mites to release William Hand?Batman won't share the power of these living lightnings with him, then..."

Zizizizizi!
But Atrocitus was halfway through his thinking, and then watched blankly as Batman stabbed the Meditation Mite with his lightning-wrapped palm, causing the big bug to twitch with electricity.

He saw Batman kicking Meditation Mite to the ground with only 1/4 of his body left. Due to the serious injuries and the numerous magic circle restraints on his body, the opponent's body was no longer as big as before, so it appeared that Even more pitiful.

Batman kicked the opponent one after another. Meditation Mite curled up in pain, and the colors on his body turned red and green due to the severe pain.Batman didn't hold back, and the black nanorobot turned into a crowbar in his hand. He laughed wildly and hit the Meditation Mite's head with the crowbar: "Say it? Say it? Say it? Say it. Did not say?"

hiss hiss hiss...

Chen Tao did not give Meditation Mite permission to control the electronic speaker. The big insect throbbed in pain and kept sucking in air with its mouthparts, but could not say a word.

But even when the Meditation Mite looked very painful, under Chen Tao's deliberate attention, he still found that the Meditation Mite had reached the field in front of him, but it was still deliberately absorbing the thunderbolts that Chen Tao used to shock it. Lightning created by the power of Shazam.

Chen Tao pretended not to see it and let him do it.

Suck it, suck it.After all, he is the only creature that can use the power of living lightning even without being recognized. The more he absorbs now, the easier it will be to control him in a while...

Chen Tao thought this while opening the other party's permission to speak.

Once the permission is granted, Meditation Mite’s first sentence is:

"Stop fighting. I'll do anything. Please, stop fighting!"

The Meditation Mite did not play any tricks. Soon, the hungry and skinny William Hand was released with a confused look on his face, and then he met two pairs of surprised and delighted eyes.

"William Hand!" x2
Chen Tao rushed over in a hurry, followed closely by Atrocitus. After scanning his body to confirm that he would not die immediately, the two breathed a sigh of relief together.

"It's good that you won't die for the time being!"

Then the two of them began to examine William Hand's body, and they were so enthusiastic that they almost made each other pee: "No! Where is this? Help! I want to go home!"

After a few minutes.

William Hand sat in the center of the magic circle, his mouth crooked and his eyes glazed over, motionless. Chen Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

The action to eliminate the darkness in Atrocitus's heart has already begun. In the original comic history, Atrocitus, who predicted the Blackest Night, once wanted to come to the earth and eliminate the darkness in William Hand's heart in advance.

And such behavior is undoubtedly a crime for Hal and Sinestro, who came after hearing the news.So Atrocitus naturally failed, and his plan to cut off the Blackest Night from its source also failed.

But now, with his intervention, William Hand can always quietly accept that "the darkness in his heart is relieved."

This may be able to forcibly cure his necrophilia at once. Will this have some positive impact on the arrival of the Blackest Night?
But Chen Tao didn't have time to worry about this. He still had Darkseid to worry about.If you can't pass today's level, there is no need to worry about the darkest night.

After telling Atrocitus not to kill anyone and giving William Hand to the Black Death Emperor, Chen Tao left Atrocitus, who was still dancing to William Hand, and hurried back. He still has a lot to do after leaving the earth.

……

……

……

At this time, Reverse Flash is being tied up in a corner of Red of All Beings.

He looked coldly at the many jailors who were commenting around him, including Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and Clark, who had returned to normal. The other looked a little weak and was being supported by his wife Louise.

He no longer wanted to hear clearly what these people were saying when they looked at him, and at this time, his heart was full of doubts.

This is not right.This was different from the future he had seen.

What went wrong?He has completely lost control of the situation now.

Will The Flash really lose the war with Darkseid like he sees in the future?He should have stood by and personally led all this and witnessed all this, instead of being locked up here like a loser now.

Then he saw Batman appear in front of him. He drove away the onlookers and took him into the shelter built for the families on the red desert of all living beings. He took him alone to an empty place. , silvery white room.

This place was different from the other places in the shelter that were clearly meant for rest and self-protection.But the place is bare, and Reverse-Flash isn't sure what Batman wants to do.

"you want……"

He asked directly, but soon after, Reverse Flash saw Batman take out a ring from his omnipotent belt in front of him, then pressed it, and then the small ring immediately popped out. A Flash uniform.

Reverse Flash:? ? ?

Then he saw Batman hurried away again.

……

……

……

lonely.

dark.

deep.

“For so many years, all I chased was a reflection.”

Bane is currently being pinned to the Origin Wall.His consciousness was being swallowed bit by bit by the wall.Maybe it will take a while, maybe soon...

He looked at a creature that had condensed into a statue next to him.

The thing flapped its broad wings, and seemed to be flying toward the outside of the wall at the last moment of its life.

Bane is thinking about Batman again.

The reason he wanted to defeat Batman in the first place was because he wanted to defeat his own inner demons, his own nightmares.

His childhood shaped it into a monster, and his constant sense of crisis prevented him from feeling happy. Only by defeating Batman could he find peace, otherwise he would have to die at the hands of another monster. Defeating Batman was his vain obsession.

But after this obsession was gone and everything was gone, Bane continued to feel that his life was worthless.

He tried to enrich himself by searching for his father. He wanted to find his blood relatives. This was a kind of search for his "origin", but in the end, after searching around, he actually found Batman again.

"You saved me—Batman—"

Bane raised his head slightly, and the roar he once directed at Batman seemed to echo in his ears.

"I myself am no more harmless than this monster. But you saved me, so I will spare your life. We are going to be tangled together for the rest of our lives."

It's like a promise and a curse.

So Bain said nothing.

He lowered his head and saw that the golden color had spread to his neck, that golden color... a bright golden color.

It climbed over his bulging veins, began to grow a flowery chin uncontrollably, and finally climbed over the bridge of his nose, gently and tenderly pressing the constantly inflamed nose wings.

He knew that Batman might be too late to keep the appointment, and he wasn't sure if Batman didn't come to the appointment on purpose, but that didn't matter.

When Bain looked back, he realized that Bain's life was meaningless.

His hatred for Batman, whether it starts or ends, is child's play.

He is a person who lacks inner drive.

save the world?Destroy the world?Rule the world?Or even take over Gotham?
Or does he want to resurrect someone?What to change in the past?
Did he have anyone he loved?
What does he pursue?What ideas does he want the world to agree with?Fear, or madness, or a riddle?
There is nothing, there is only nothingness in his life.Even every goal in life is thought up by himself, rather than pursued from the heart.

He's not like Darkseid, or the Joker, or Scarecrow.

Only bats.

Just Batman.

Even taking over Gotham is like a kid trying to take a toy out of another kid's hands.

Conquer all evil?
What an ambitious goal, is he really interested in it?Do you really regard this as your lifelong career?
No.

Beneath that strong body, Bain's heart was empty.

There is no logic or plan in what he does. This does not mean that he will not make plans for a specific goal, but he...

This feeling is difficult to explain in words. It should be said that he has never thought about what he will do after achieving his goal.

This is Bane...and I am Bane.

Maybe eternal sleep on the Origin Wall will be my destination.In this way, he will never need to consider the meaning of life or the direction of life.

Bain thought so, and he began to feel sleepy. The golden color spread across his temples, making him drowsy, as warm as being in his mother's amniotic fluid.

He wanted to go back, he wanted to fall asleep.

Then he saw Batman.

"Bane."

That hazy, seemingly unearthly voice seemed to be roaring high-pitched in the ears, but also humming low in the heart.

Bane hears Batman's voice.

"I came as promised."
