What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 568: Are you stupid, clown? You are not the only one who laughs

This is Earth-22, a special place.

It is like the rest of the Dark Multiverse, an incomplete world, a terrible place doomed to destruction.

Due to the dual results of this defect since its birth and the influence of Barbatos, generally speaking, a dark multiverse like this will produce a perverted monster by itself, perhaps the ancestor Superman who says "I do whatever the hell I want", or the tyrant Wonder Woman who says "Amazons rule the world", or the family member Martian Manhunter who says "I turn the world upside down just to straighten out my family's reflection".

But the fate of the dark multiverse gave birth to a clever coincidence in this universe, a clever or terrible change that even Barbatos himself did not foresee in advance:
Batman of Earth-22 kills the Joker and sucks the last trace of Joker poison from his spine.

He was transformed into a combination of the Joker and Batman, and is also the number one general under Barbatos.

But it is obvious... this general does not seem to be that loyal.

The Laughing Bat walks in the ruins of Earth-22.

After slaughtering the entire Justice League of his own universe, the entire world was laid to waste by the Batman Who Laughs.

Now this is where the Batman Who Laughs creates his Knights, and brings them here from across the Dark Multiverse.

The members of the Dark Knights and Barbatos thought that he was just killing those unqualified Batmen... such as War Bat, and those Batmen he had tried to recruit into the Dark Knights before but were ultimately deemed "too weak", and of course many Batmen in the dark multiverse who had not yet fallen into evil, as well as some Bruce Wayne who simply never became Batman.

These Batmen were tied to crosses by the Laughing Bat, standing them up one by one. The Laughing Bat observed whether they had the qualities necessary to win. Some of them did, and some did not.

Barbatos and the Dark Knights didn't know what he was doing. He was deliberately collecting these Batmans and realizing his various attempts through them. Everyone here was Batman, and there was no better place for experiments.

Not far away, in front of its newly built green bat skull-shaped portal, there are a large number of Robins, catching innocent teenagers from various dark multiverses.

They will be taken to the lower level of the Batcave and transformed into Robins of the Bat Who Laughs in Venom. The Bat Who Laughs will give these Robins the dark matter energies that Barbatos gave him, making them invulnerable to conventional weapons except metal.

Originally, the Batman Who Laughs planned to take some time to go to a dark multiverse that he had led the Dark Knights through before, and recruit a dark multiverse monster that he liked. That monster called himself Robin King, and although he was Bruce Wayne, he was not Batman.

But now he had to interrupt his original plan and deal with the problem of the Emperor Clown first.

The Batman Who Laughs always has a plan, everything is within his plan, but his plans do not appear out of thin air. Like the real Batman, the Batman Who Laughs's plan requires a lot of preparation time and a little bit of luck, so he is very short on time.

He is doing things almost all the time, which may be the reason why he was able to pull out various cards almost endlessly during "Death Metal", mobilize a large number of people, and finally defeat Papetua, the mother of the multiverse. That was the accumulation of a long period of time.

But now... The Laughing Bat is still very weak. Although he is indeed dangerous, he is still far from being the mastermind behind the future "Death Metal".

Therefore, for the Laughing Bat, he should have kept a low profile as much as possible, especially not doing things that were particularly not in the interests of Barbatos.

Because once it does this, no matter how small it is, there is a possibility of being discovered, which is a risk in itself for the Laughing Bat.

But this time, the Laughing Bat might have to take action.

The Batman Who Laughs hates the Joker Emperor, not only because he is also a grinning idiot like the Batman in the dark multiverse, but also because their existence will disrupt the Batman Who Laughs' plans, and the Batman Who Laughs hates accidents the most, just like Batman.

The Batman who stole 1/4 of the Dragon status of the Dark Multiverse was already troublesome enough and disgusting enough for him, but at least he did not directly surrender to Barbatos.

But once the Emperor Clown really comes to reality, especially when mixed with Barbatos, the level of disgust is far beyond what anyone else can compare to.

The most troublesome point is that the Emperor Clown's thinking is similar to that of the Laughing Bat, which means that many of the Laughing Bat's operations can fool Barbatos but not the Emperor Clown.

This completely and fundamentally blocked the Laughing Bat's plan to develop itself under the shadow of Barbatos.

"Help! Help! Please let me go..."

The Laughing Bat brought a little boy locked in a cage. The boy came from a dark multiverse and was kidnapped here by the Robins.

He begged for mercy from the Laughing Bat, but it was of no use.

"I want to go home, wuwu...I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was immediately immersed in a pool of venom with a cage. When he was lifted out of the pool again...

A living Robin was created in this way.

"Come on, dear, come on..."

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the other person's neck.

Through the spiked metal goggles on his eyes, the Laughing Bat is able to filter out dark energy and noise through this weapon made of dark metal and focus on what he wants to see.

Barbatos gave the Laughing Bat a strange superpower that neither the Joker nor Batman had. He could modify reality... He could pass enough intelligence and information to the Batman of the dark multiverse, and at the same time...

Say a little hello.

Haha, haha, hahahaha!

……

……

……

"We got the chemicals."

The oldest of the three clowns, the [Criminal] Clown, heard the [Laugher] say.

"And we had some fun, what next?" [The Clown] said, "What do we do next?"

"Doing what we always do, we're going to make a better Joker and give everyone a bath while we're at it."

The criminal was a stern clown with a serious face. He sat in the main seat with his fingers crossed.

"I doubt whether all this is useful." The Laugher said, "My friend, I have been observing this Batman and collecting a lot of information related to our Batman. I think our Batman is no longer the one we thought he was. I doubt whether the pain still has an effect on him. In fact, I am not even sure that he became Batman because of the pain."

"That night was always the defining moment in the reinvention of Batman," the criminal said. "Whatever Batman became, Batman without Crime Alley wasn't Batman. He couldn't be indifferent to that, no matter what he pretended to be."

"Remember... bathing everyone is just a side game, and creating the perfect clown is what we want."

The criminal simply gave the order: "One of you goes to build the factory, and the other one comes to help me find actors. It's time to make the clown more meaningful."

"Okay, you should have finished talking. We can't let you decide all the rules. My friend, I also want to give it a try. Performing is my specialty!" said the clown.

"I have a good eye for discovering talent, but setting traps is also something I like." Xiaoke finally took the initiative to take on the task of building the factory.

"Very good." said the criminal clown, "Then you come with me, and you go and run the footbath water."

……

……

As Chen Tao continued to pay attention to the actions of the Justice League, he gradually discovered some strange clues:
The Joker had evaded his eyes and ears perfectly.

This is simply shocking. How could the Joker do this?

He knew too little information, and even with Batman's reasoning method, he couldn't get the answer directly without thinking, otherwise it wouldn't be thinking but magic. While secretly watching the live broadcast of the scene behind Alfred's back, he turned on all the surveillance videos that could be checked back from the monitors under his control.

No, nothing.

Chen Tao shook his head and then reached out and wiped his face.

Suddenly, the corners of his face began to rise uncontrollably and his skin turned pale.

He deduced some information for the first time, and he began to realize that the information the Joker was giving to the Justice League was all false. The Joker could be anywhere, but the fact that the aquarium stored the Joker's venom might only be partially true.

"If I were a clown..." Chen Tao thought about it again for a while, but he still couldn't grasp anything.

The Joker often claims to be aimless, but that's a lie.

The Joker still has goals, but his goals change frequently and are very imaginative.

Chen Tao had a vague feeling that the clown should have a clear goal this time, or two, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Even Chen Tao couldn't have guessed the existence of the Emperor Clown out of thin air, unless...

Chen Tao's expression suddenly changed. He felt that some external object was trying to enter the fortress he built in the dark multiverse. He used this fortress to separate his two universes from other dark multiverses. No one could come and go freely in his world without his consent.

But after realizing what the thing was, he finally opened the permission, just like allowing someone to throw something into the city wall.

He waved his hand and soon a transparent coffin, which was specially used to send the clown to death, was pulled across space and appeared beside him.

In front of him was a child with a mouth full of sharp teeth, a pale face, twisted limbs, and wearing a Robin uniform.

Chen Tao knew what this thing was.

This is Robin.

And there is only one person in the entire DC universe who can drive this transformed little monster:

The Laughing Bat.

Then Chen Tao heard the Robin dog speak word by word with a hoarse voice after a long call: "Don't do it, Batman, I'm here to give you information.

The voice was mechanical and dead, and it didn't sound like a child at all.

……

……

……

"Everyone, stay alert. The clown may be at any time..."

"I am the night."

"Well, it could happen at any time..."

Wonder Woman's words were suddenly interrupted. She gritted her teeth with a welded smile on her face and decided not to bother with the child for the time being.

The expression on her face was the result of the Joker potion, which was gradually showing its effect, but Wonder Woman was still holding back.

She continued, "When you see the Joker again, don't kill him right away. Batman told us that the Joker is very likely to use some method to make the last person who murdered him..."

"I am revenge."

Wonder Woman let out a sigh. She ignored Shazam beside her. This kind of kid just gets more excited the more you deal with him. She continued with a very clown-like smile, "So we can at most cripple him and then hand him over to Hal. His space contains the crystal coffin prepared by Batman—"

"I'M BATMAN!!!"

Wonder Woman finally couldn't bear it anymore, she turned and looked at Shazam.

Under Wonder Woman's death gaze, Shazam, who also had a creepy smile on his face, finally said:
"I am indeed Batman...until further notice."

"So." Aquaman Arthur lay on the glass cabinet door next to the aquarium. He didn't know when his head had changed from a normal head back to a fish head due to the transformation spell.

His big fish head suddenly grew too big and squeezed out Batman's hood. Among the crowd of people dressed in strange shapes, who would have thought that Aquaman with a fish head was the real person?

"And this, it's quite fresh." Aquaman, with a smiling fish head and still wearing the Batman uniform, opened and closed his mouth and made sounds.

"So we know where they store the chemicals, but that's all?"

Aquaman was looking behind the tempered glass of the aquarium. A shark that had completely turned into a carnivore due to the clown's venom swam over and looked at him through the tempered glass.

"Making a smiley shark?"

The smiley shark swam over. It looked at the equally smiling fish behind the tempered glass, and a look of confusion appeared in the little shark's eyes.

?

Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling, gurgling...

The laughing shark is bubbling.

Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling, gurgling, gurgling...

The Laughing Fish-Headed Sea King bubbled more bubbles than him, and they were on dry land.

"..." Hal, the Green Lantern with a healthy smile, didn't know what to say.

"Wait, everyone." Then they heard Wonder Woman's voice.

"The surveillance camera I left at the door shows that multiple security gates in the facility are opening. The enemy is on the way."

Wonder Woman said, "All Batmen! Hee hee...get ready for battle!"

"They're here."

This was indeed the case. The members of the Justice League had just formed a battle formation when they heard a voice coming from behind the door behind them: "Long time no see, everyone. I..."

A clown led a large group of strange humanoid creatures and pushed the door open from behind. It was the Harlequin, one of the three clowns.

"You all want..."

But before he could finish his words, he saw the entire Justice League turning their heads 100 degrees almost at the same time to look at him.

And each of them had a smile on their face that was happier than the clown.

The smile on the clown's mouth suddenly deflated.
