The Collection of The End

——? ? ? ——

Bruce Wayne has not had a dream for a long time.

For an Avenger who has decided to devote his life to fighting crime, a dream that poses no actual danger is a danger in itself.

However, while traveling around the world, visiting many top or legendary fighting masters, learning several fighting techniques, and finally returning to Gotham, where I will fight against the darkness in this city as Batman, I can relax a little. Some are excusable.

However, whether dreaming about one’s parents being killed can be called “relaxing” is still open to question.

Under the dark night, Batman stood on the old street lamp of "Crime Alley", silently watching Thomas Wayne, Martha Wayne, and Bruce Wayne, who was only eight years old, walking toward them without noticing. The end of life.

This family of three has just watched a movie called "Zoro". The beautiful mother thinks that wearing a mask and wearing black clothes is very handsome, and the dashing father thinks that after performing a heroic act, he draws the "z" mark to symbolize his identity. This is the finishing touch of this character that touches people's hearts, and Bruce is not yet able to organize words to express his thoughts. He simply thinks that his father and mother are right.

Batman lowered his head slightly and looked at his black suit and the bat logo on his chest.

There was no doubt that the way I dressed was heavily influenced by what my parents said in their final moments, but there was nothing wrong with that.

And the biggest impact... Batman raised his head and looked at the corner of the alley, where the shadow of the bat flashed in the dim light.

From the perspective of an eight-year-old child, it is almost impossible to notice those dark corners. If there are no accidents, as the only son of the president of Wayne Group, he will grow up in a favorable environment and successfully enter middle school and college. , and leave home when you become an adult, choose a career according to your interests, and joke to yourself every day: If you don’t work hard, you will have no choice but to go home and inherit hundreds of millions of assets.

If there are no accidents.

Without dream interpretation, what will happen next has been repeated in Batman's mind countless times:

A low-level gangster named Joe Chell carried out an impromptu robbery.

Two of the cheapest bullets took away two of the most cherished relatives.

The pearl necklaces scattered on the ground reflected the swarm of bats that covered the sky.

The most troublesome part of this matter is that he can't even find a target for revenge.

Joe Chell? He used the money he robbed from the Waynes to pay off his debts. After paying off the debt, he was rude to his creditors and his head was blown off on the spot.

His gang? The day after the Wayne couple's accident, they were completely bloodbathed by Gotham Godfather Carmine Falcone.

As for saying that this was all arranged by Falcone? That is even more nonsense. As the largest gang leader in Gotham, he works closely with Thomas's Wayne family and Martha's Kane family to fully suppress the other two veteran brothers Elliot and Colbert. The Tan family and their gangs, without Thomas's help, it would be difficult for him to secure his position as the Godfather of Gotham.

From the analysis of interests alone, it can be inferred that the little gangster may have been arranged by a hostile family and their men, but there is absolutely no evidence to prove this. A random attack is equivalent to a full-scale war within Gotham, and this is something that no one wants. Hope to see.

As a teenager, Bruce was full of hatred and anger, but he didn't know who to vent to. He could only exercise hard to keep himself from thinking. However, this emotion made him face a man who advocated "mind, body and skill" to maintain balance The fighting master had no results in his studies. After a careful discussion with him, the master pointed out a direction for him: what he wanted to fight was not "evil" but "chaos".

The master used his cane to draw a nine-square grid on the sand, and divided it according to "law → chaos" and "good and evil":

Lawful evil, a large-scale gang, will be concerned about the influence of Wayne Group and will not take action against Thomas.

Neutral evil, that is, planned criminals who consider the possibility of retaliation and are less afraid to rob and harm powerful and wealthy people.

Chaotic evil only sees immediate benefits, has no plan, and does not consider the consequences, so it will take action against one of the four major families in Gotham. Moreover, because of these characteristics, this camp is even rejected by the other two evil camps, and Joe Che You, without a doubt, belong to this camp.

Bruce was deeply inspired by this and made immediate progress in his subsequent studies, which greatly satisfied the master.

But what the master didn't know was that after he left that day, Bruce stared at the nine-square grid for a long time, and finally marked all the crosses around it, leaving only the "absolute neutrality" in the center, and then erased them with satisfaction.

Bruce had decided at that point that his actions would not be bound by definitions of good or evil, nor would his methods be constrained by law or chaos.

Because he is Batman.

"Hehe... let me see, who is this? A rich man."

With slurred words and giggles, Joe Chill appeared at the entrance of the alley.

Dirty and wine-stained clothes, disheveled and yellow hair, cloudy and nervous eyes, and a pistol held loosely in his hand.

Anyone with the ability to observe can easily tell that this is an alcoholic or drug addict who is trying to take a desperate risk. He has no sense at all and there is no possibility of negotiation. The best option is to knock him down and disarm him before he can react.

But unfortunately, perhaps because he had just watched "Zolo" or because he was very confident in his popularity, Thomas Wayne raised his hand to block his wife and children behind him, took a step forward and shouted: "Do you know who I am? "

"Alas..." Batman sighed.

He didn't intend to speak ill of his late father, but if it were him, this damn drunkard would have been lying in the stinky ditch on the side of the road.

Of course, he could jump off the street lamp now, knock down Joe Chill with one punch, and then get the thanks of his parents and "himself", and then float away, successfully ending this dream, but that would be meaningless.

Perhaps, it was precisely because today was the day he put on the bat suit for the first time that he dreamed of this moment while taking a nap. In other words, deep in his heart, he exercised hard, studied hard, and armed himself with high technology. Everything was just to save his parents from an impromptu robbery.

Unfortunately, what has happened cannot be changed. 】

I will not correct the ending of these two "parents", but I will not let go of Joe Chill who escaped after committing the crime. Perhaps deep down in my heart, I want to use a "rescue" as the beginning of "Batman" , however, he has decided that the beginning of "Batman" will only be "punishment".

"I don't care who you are!" Joe Cole was irritated by Thomas' tone and shook the gun in his hand: "Hand over your wallet immediately!"

"Hmph..." Thomas took out his wallet and threw it to Joe Cole's feet: "Take it and get out of here."

"..." The robber's eyes widened and he was about to attack, but his attention was attracted by the banknotes in the wallet. He pointed the gun at Thomas and squatted down to pick up the wallet. After looking through it for a while, he looked happy, but Still not putting down the gun, he turned to point the gun at Martha: "And you, take off the pearl necklace around your neck."

"Idiot," Martha responded: "There is only one pearl necklace in Gotham. It is useless if you take it apart. Unless you grind them into powder, who do you think would dare to accept it without risking their lives?"

Batman held his forehead and sighed, looked at the admiring little Bruce next to him, and held his forehead again.

"Asshole! I asked you to take it off!" Joe Chell yelled angrily as he rushed over and reached out to grab Martha's necklace.

Next came the scene where his father was shot while trying to stop the robbers, and his mother was shot when she tried to grab the gun... Batman subconsciously wanted to look away, but still stopped with his strong will.

boom!

Joe Cole's head exploded like a watermelon.

Batman was wondering if he had inadvertently interfered with the dream when he saw three young women in strange clothes and strange behaviors appearing at the entrance of Crime Alley. They completely ignored the dead body over there and the Thomas couple who were spattered with blood. Are making a lot of noise:

"Strange, why is the mission not completed?"

"Isn't this just an ordinary robbery?"

"Maybe he is a vampire. He won't die just by shooting his head. Which one of you has an awl? Let's try to stab his heart?"

"No, no, no, maybe it's an alien. Cut open the chest and see if there's a cockpit?"

"What if it's a symbiote host? I brought a UHF sound CD."

"The vast horizon is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills]"

"We were wrong about you!"

"Break off the relationship!"

——? ? ? ——

"……Well!"

Bruce Wayne suddenly straightened up from his armchair, shook his head, and fell into deep thought while looking at the familiar manor furnishings in front of him.

"Master?" Alfred Pennyworth came over with a tray: "Do you want to taste the cookies I baked before you go?"

"Afu," Batman looked up at the old, thin butler in a straight uniform: "Am I crazy?"

"I've told you before, Master," Alfred put the tray on the table: "You want to dress yourself up as a bat, you must have a mental problem."
