Chapter 3299 Bloodshed in New City (Forty-Eight)
Batman doesn't want Superman to hug him, not because he is shy or resists physical contact.
This is the same logic as not wanting a Tyrannosaurus Rex to hug you.
No normal person would want to have any physical contact with a giant creature that can blow you away with just the movement of its hair. Who wants to hug the sun?!
Batman has a little bit of paranoia, but he doesn't want to have close contact with Superman, which is completely out of human instinct for self-preservation.
This guy's strength is too terrifying. If he uses one ten-thousandth more strength in his arms, Batman will be turned into pulp on the spot.
Batman knows Superman too well. This kind of person is just taking advantage of you. If you let him hug you once, he will hug you every day when you see you from now on. What if he loses control one day?
You can't just drive on the road every day just because cars have brakes, right?
No normal person would do this, right?
But alas Bruce is not normal.
Batman even wondered whether his own self in another universe had never seen Superman, or whether he had never seen Superman fight crime?
With one punch from Superman, the aliens and their spaceships were turned into stickers. A planet as big as the Earth was like a kettlebell in his hand, which he could throw out of the Milky Way if he swung it in a round shape.
Even the Joker's muddled brain knows that he shouldn't easily interact with such a person, right? Did Bruce really take too many pills?
Batman completely overturned his previous plan. It is too dangerous to share an identity with Bruce. Today he dares to hug Superman, I dare not think about what he will hug tomorrow.
But the problem is that if he wants to expel Bruce from the identity of Batman, he has to explain where Bruce came from. But he doesn't want anyone to know the secrets of the multiverse and the fighting world.
"Or I should expel myself from the identity of Batman." Batman thought.
But he obviously underestimated Bruce's power.
Clark said very aggrievedly: "I know the plan didn't go smoothly and it may be difficult for you. If you don't want to explain, I won't force you. But it was you who asked me to get the information and keep it for myself. Now you don't let me do it. You should at least give me a reason, right?"
"Well, if you don't want to explain, then you don't have to be so cold to me. It's not me who caused you trouble. You can't put the blame on me who did nothing wrong. It's not fair..."
Batman, who has never believed in God, now really wants to ask God what the psychopath Bruce said to Superman.
What is indifference? Batman was puzzled. Haven't I always been like this? What do you call enthusiasm?
Batman felt that he was really looking for trouble. He knew the answer would not be good, but he just wanted to ask.
"You think I'm cold?" Batman asked.
"I don't think so. I just... I just don't understand why you're acting like this all of a sudden. I didn't do anything."
"But your eyesight is bad." Batman thought to himself.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Batman was ready to use the old method to fool him. He said, "Give me the information first, and I will explain it to you later."
Batman walked towards him, but Clark actually took a few steps back and said, "No, I won't give it to you. I suspect you are someone else's fake."
Batman really tried very hard not to sigh. When he saw Bruce, he should have thought that this day would come. But when this day really came, he was really puzzled.
He has always been like this, and Bruce is obviously wrong. But when Superman and Bruce meet, not only does he not doubt, he even thinks Bruce is the real one. Isn't this ridiculous?
Batman suddenly thought, could it be that in Superman's heart he has always been like Bruce?
Batman felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the possibility of this happening. What kind of structure must Superman's brain have to be able to see the same traits in himself as in Bruce?
This is probably the unsolved mystery of Krypton.
Batman didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, but Clark obviously didn't want to give up communication. He said, "I'm sorry again for not being with you some time ago. If you still mind this matter, I promise that I won't do it again in the future."
"That's not necessary." Batman could only say this. He didn't want Superman to come to Gotham every day.
But Clark saw it differently. Clark looked Batman in the eye and said, "Bruce, you are more vulnerable than you think. Why don't you ever admit it?"
This successfully triggered Batman's emotions. He looked at Clark coldly and said, "Aren't humans all fragile in your eyes? You can kill them easily without even moving your fingers."
"You know that's not what I meant. I'm not referring to physical strength, but mental strength. You're not as strong and firm as you think you are, but you insist on thinking that you are."
Clark stepped forward and said, "If you don't feel any sadness or despair over the death of your loved ones, you are not strong, but cold and heartless. If you insist on acting like this, you will eventually lose everyone who loves you."
"Gotham is a terrible city. Feeling sorry for the situation is a sign of compassion, not weakness. Feeling disbelief and exhaustion as you imagine doing the work you need to do is a sign of intelligence, not laziness."
"Batman, why don't you understand that as long as you are willing, there will be many people to help you. We have been waiting for this for a long time, and you just use your pretending to be strong to accuse us of being indifferent, cowardly and incompetent."
"That's not a disguise!" Batman said in a raised voice, "That's me. Why can't I be myself?"
"Because you just can't, you can't do it." Clark said louder than him, "If you were really as fearless and omnipotent as you imagine, Gotham would not be what it is today!"
"So you still think I'm incompetent?!" Batman stared into his eyes, almost roaring, "You also think the Joker is right, and everything I do is wrong?!"
"You know very well that this has nothing to do with the Joker." Clark said without showing any weakness, "The fact that you are so obsessed with arguing about right and wrong just shows how fragile you are. If you firmly believe that you are right, you don't have to ask me over and over again, or ask anyone else."
Batman's hands dropped. The force that held his facial muscles in place seemed to have suddenly dissipated. His facial features seemed to be dissolving and flowing downward.
"Yes, if I am the fragile coward you said, what are you going to do? Choose someone else to replace me?"
"Weakness is never an obstacle, but arrogance is," Clark said. "Fragile species become strong because they desperately need to protect their own fragility. This process is the great miracle of life. As a bystander, I only feel envy. But you are a participant and creator, you should feel honored."
“It is precisely because you are a fragile human being and do not have an indestructible body that you need to forge a suit of armor for yourself. It is precisely because you do not have an unshakable spirit that you need to constantly reflect and explore yourself to find the path and the truth.”
"All the efforts you made eventually made you Batman. But that's just a result. Regardless of whether the result really worked, the whole process is precisely the proof that human beings can create greatness from weakness. This is the fundamental reason why I admire Batman. Why should you be ashamed of it?"
For a moment, Batman saw the sun rising in Gotham.
He turned his head away, and finally remembered in his heart why he was so reluctant to see Superman. Every time he did this, he felt like he had turned from a bat into a rat in the gutter.
Considering that Superman is an alien, is there anything more ridiculous than an alien trying to persuade a human to admit that he is a human and to feel proud of his human identity?
Batman doesn't want the information in Superman's hands anymore. Let him write it if he wants. If someone in this world must be melted by the sun, let the super criminal make the great sacrifice.
Batman tried to leave, but it was too late.
The Pale Knight, Gordon, and a man in an FBI uniform stormed into Wayne Manor together.
Although it was not raining, everyone could see that the atmosphere in the hall of Wayne Manor was not harmonious at the moment.
Since they had just heard this shocking news from Schiller, the few people who had just arrived naturally took this unharmonious atmosphere as Batman and Clark discussing something about a bet.
"I'm so sorry..." Gordon began.
"I know this is hard to accept." The Pale Knight also said, "I think I should take some responsibility."
"No matter what, we can't jump to conclusions." Chandler said stubbornly, "Are you sure you have enough evidence? This is no small matter."
Clark thought about what Batman had just said about things not going well, so these people must be the helpers he had found. He thought that since they were all his own people, there was no point in beating around the bush, so he might as well get straight to the point.
"I just went to Arkham Asylum and saw those insane traps. This is unquestionable evidence."
"Did you take any pictures?" the Pale Knight asked.
Clark was quite cautious in this regard. He said: "I won't tell you anything before it's published. I can only make sure to restore the truth as much as possible."
"Wait a minute!" Chandler said quickly, "Are you planning to expose it directly? Do you know the consequences of doing so?"
"Are you scared?" the Pale Knight asked coldly, "Is this all the courage the FBI has?"
Chandler was full of bitterness. He said: "This kind of scandal, which could be fatal to the stock price, will make those people hunt you down like crazy. And they will not stop until they die. I don't even know which newspaper would dare to help you publish such news."
"That's none of your business," Clark said.
"I think we can conduct simultaneous arrests." Gordon put his hands in his trouser pockets and said, "We can arrange for people to wait in ambush before the news appears in the newspapers, so that the news can spread and the targets can be arrested at the same time. At least the public will not blame the efficiency of the police."
"Do you have enough manpower?" the Pale Knight asked. "There are not just one or two targets, but hundreds of them, living in different heavily guarded manors. Each one has at least several tunnels, and some even have helicopters."
Gordon certainly had no confidence at all, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to come to Batman. In his opinion, since Batman dared to expose the truth, he must have made all the preparations for the arrest. He just needed to cooperate.
Unfortunately, among the people currently present, only Batman is still out of the situation.
But everyone thought he was the initiator of the plan. Out of trust in Batman's plan, they all prepared their skills and took positions, waiting for Batman's order to start the team fight and win this must-win team battle.
Batman's silence was taken by them as confidence, but Batman's shaking mouth caused him to miss the best opportunity to ask.
By the time he realized what was happening, everyone had already discussed it and dispersed. Clark went to write a press release, Gordon went to arrange the arrest, Chandler went to call his colleagues, and the Pale Knight went to coordinate logistics.
In this plan made by Batman, only Batman was idle. He wanted to cooperate but didn't know where to start, and no one answered his questions.
This Gotham train that started running wildly because of a broken engine finally became a ship of the new era.
Batman, holding the old ticket, couldn't find his seat and could only stand alone and confused in the familiar carriage, like an old remnant who still didn't face the reality. Even his stubbornness turned into sadness.
