American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

Gotham City, like Metropolis, is a unique city in the DC universe. It is located in New Jersey on the east coast of Eagle Country, across the sea from Metropolis.

Gotham City is a very 'tolerant' city. Its architectural style has gathered almost all the countries in the world, not only the styles of famous European cities such as New York, Los Angeles, London, and Sydney, but also Chinese and Japanese styles. style.

However, this city, which is like a place of interest, has been shrouded in dark clouds that cannot be dispelled all year round. Under the superficial glitz, there are cruel sins hidden in the dark alleys. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is beautiful on the outside but ruined inside.

Gangsters, criminals, Frankensteins, madmen, all the chaotic scenes you can imagine will be staged in Gotham. This is Gotham City, the city with the highest crime rate in the world.

However, just as Metropolis is protected by Superman, Gotham City also has its own dark guardian - Batman.

On the surface he is a playboy, but secretly he is a bat vigilante. Whenever the light of the bat lamp breaks through the sky, the entire criminals in Gotham will fall into fear, because they know that the vengeful spirit has arrived, and he He will transform into a bat to punish all the evil in this city.

He has no superpowers, nor is he a superhuman. He only relies on his years of hard training and outstanding wisdom. He single-handedly challenges the evils of the entire Gotham City. He is Batman. In the eyes of most people, He's even just a story, an urban legend.

Batman's true identity is Bruce Wayne, the boss of Wayne Group. He has been fighting evil all his life, but in this universe, the old Bruce has retired for a long time.

Zhang Yi and Pietro took a taxi from Metropolis all the way across Gotham City to Wayne Manor. Along the way, Zhang Yi felt uneasy in his heart. He looked at this and didn't need Batman to protect him. city, the emotions in his eyes are extremely complex.

Bruce Wayne has retired, and the city no longer needs Batman, because at this time Gotham City has become one of the most secure cities in the world.

The reason is that the Batman in this world does not implement any no-kill principle, nor does he send criminals to the police station or Arkham Asylum. He directly kills those criminals!

There are lunatics like the Joker, Riddler, and Two-Face, forces like Black Mask, the Court of Owls, and the League of Assassins, and supernatural monsters like Man-Bat, Killer Croc, and Solomon Grundy.

One by one, in Gotham, known as Vice City, any criminal with a name cannot escape Batman's punishment. They all died directly or indirectly in the hands of Batman.

And this is also the reason why Gotham has changed from being full of crime to excellent security.

It fits the old saying - as long as all the criminals are killed, there will be no more criminals in the city.

Looking at Wayne Manor getting closer and closer, Zhang Yi couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Judging from Batman's actions and results, this was not a normal universe at all. This universe was obviously on the verge of collapse.

It's not that Batman can't kill, but it's just that all this happened has obviously been separated from the development of most universes. If this is not a universe destined to be destroyed, Zhang Yi believes that the Batman of this universe will kill all the villains. , I guess he will turn into a villain.

You may not even need to kill all the villains, you only need to kill the Joker or the Riddler. Choose one of the two. The death of either of these two people at the hands of Batman can plant the seeds of darkness in Batman's heart.

"Sir, the front is private property, so I can't go in." The taxi stopped at the gate of Wayne Manor, and the driver turned around with a smile.

Although he didn't know why these two children came all the way from Metropolis to Gotham, he knew that the people who could come to Wayne Manor were not ordinary people. Although it had seemed abandoned for a long time, and the old guys inside were also very old. No one has come forward, but Wayne Group is still a very famous and wealthy company.

"Thank you." Zhang Yi nodded and took out a large amount of cash from his arms. This was all Pietro's 'earned income'. He didn't know how much extra money he gave, but judging from the smile on the driver's face, Look, he must have made a lot of money.

After getting out of the car and watching the taxi disappear on the road, Zhang Yi turned around and nodded at Pietro, and then he climbed on Pietro's back.

"By the way, Zhang, this manor is so big, which house are we looking for?" Pietro looked inside from the gate and saw only one spectacular castle after another.

"The door in the middle is too high. You need to run all the way to it against gravity. But to be careful, let's go to the entrance of the castle. Although the old bat has retired, we can't guarantee that there won't be anything inside."

Whoosh——

". Trap." Zhang Yi's eyes blurred, and he felt his body tremble rapidly. Then he had arrived at the door of the castle. Beside him, Pietro was looking at him with a smile.

"What to do next? Should we ring the doorbell?" Pietro pointed to the old-fashioned doorbell at the door.

After rolling his eyes at Pietro, Zhang Yi did not answer, but walked directly to the door and rang the doorbell of the Wayne Building.

It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time. Even the doorbell button had a layer of dust on it. After pressing the doorbell, Zhang Yi rubbed it with two fingers a few times, removing the dust from his fingertips. Waiting for the response from inside.

After about five or six minutes, the castle was still extremely quiet, without any feedback from inside, as if no one had lived inside for a long time.

"There won't be anyone there," Pietro said.

"No, it shouldn't happen at this time. Bruce Wayne is inside." Zhang Yi licked his dry lips, and then he raised his head and saw the surveillance camera with red lights flashing above the door.

Taking two steps back and placing his body in the middle of the surveillance camera, Zhang Yi raised his head and looked directly at the surveillance camera and spoke word by word.

"Bruce Wayne, I know you are here, and I know you can see me. The world needs your help. I believe you understand what I am talking about, so can you open the door and talk?"

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, the atmosphere immediately became quiet. Zhang Yi calmly looked at the surveillance camera. He knew that Bruce would definitely open the door because they were already under surveillance when they arrived at the gate of Wayne Manor. Pietro The high-speed movement will naturally be seen by Bruce.

And if a capable person comes to your door, it means that there must be something important to discuss, and it also means that the matter is very serious.

So even if Batman has retired, he will not stand by and let the two of them hang out, because he is Batman.

It seemed to prove Zhang Ye's idea.

There was a click.

The door to Wayne Castle opened, and a completely unkempt old man opened the door with an extremely impatient expression.

".The second surprise today, I'm so 'so happy', come in guys."
