The Death Knell

"Hello, Dick."

Wonder Woman walked out of the portal with brisk steps, and walked towards the two people drinking tea at the small white table in the garden with a smile on her face as if she was very happy.

"Hello, Wonder Woman, it's nice to see you again." Dick smiled and nodded in greeting. He was now a middle-aged man in his forties: "Want coffee or tea? Everything is free here. "

Diana saw Batman with his eyes closed, half lying on a chair in a very lazy posture. She had never seen Batman like this before.

If Su Ming were here, he would definitely tell her that this posture is called Ge You Paralysis.

He seems to have no ambition at all, but is just an ordinary old man, currently sunbathing with his son.

In the summer afternoon, the air is lazy, the pace of everything is slow, and the world is safe.

But when he heard Diana's voice, even though Batman didn't open his eyes, he gave the order directly: "Robin, go help us arrange a room for tonight, so that Diana and I can be alone for a while."

Robin stood up with a smile and gave his seat to Diana: "Okay, Batman."

After saying that, he pulled up his mask and walked away.

The smile on Diana's face disappeared immediately. She looked around carefully, walked quickly to the chair and sat down, lowering her voice: "Bat..."

"Shh, I understand, waiting for someone, hehe...cough!"

A strange smile appeared on Batman's face. I don't know if it was Diana's imagination. He seemed to smile a bit like the Joker.

Wonder Woman frowned and took a breath: "Did you get clown poison? The antidote didn't work?"

"No, I'm fine." Batman pulled up his mask and returned to his expressionless look: "I understand what you want to say, no need to say it, we will wait."

"Do you have a plan?"

Diana knew that Batman was worried about someone listening or monitoring him, but she still couldn't feel at ease.

Not only are they worried about whether everyone can escape and return to their own world, they are also worried about Batman's mental state. If he really went crazy at this time and turned into another Laughing Bat, it would really make matters worse.

"...."

Batman just nodded silently, and his actions made Diana feel relieved.

She soon discovered that Batman's eyes had lost focus, and regained clarity after just a few seconds. The dappled sunlight prints looked so inconsistent on the Bat uniform.

Ron must have contacted Batman just now, and Diana knew that Martian Manhunter would also be aware of the problem.

Arthur didn't come here, so now the average intelligence level of the Justice League is on the line.

Just when the two were about to pretend to drink coffee, Barry came back with John. Barry was about to say something, but Diana directly covered his mouth.

"Don't ask, don't tell."

"I've never been in the military, and I'm not gay." Barry looked at Diana with a strange look on his face. Why did he insist on not asking or telling?

He came here to talk about serious things. This is another timeline. Maybe the dimension is indeed higher, but this is definitely not their world!

"I understand, Barry, now sit down and drink your coffee."

Batman's cold eyes shot out from under his mask. There were many things in this look, but Barry knew that Batman had taken control of the situation.

So he puffed up his face and blew out an exaggerated breath. Now that Batman had a plan, there was nothing to fear.

He also pulled John to sit down, and the four of them just filled the small white round table.

To be honest, it was a strange feeling to have four people in uniform drinking coffee and snacks around an exquisite little table in front of a large crowd.

It can simply be described as creepy.

This is not something they would do, and the people who would do such a thing are definitely not themselves.

Batman actually thinks more than any of them.

From the moment the white Superman said, 'It's your usual job to make suggestions'... Batman knew it was a fake.

Superman had argued with himself so many times that he couldn't even remember it. Although Clark obeyed orders most of the time, he was still a very independent and stubborn person.

The reason why Batman seemed relieved at that time, and also used psychological suggestion to hypnotize himself to make himself think the same way, was because the other party also had Martian Manhunter present, so the possibility of his mind being read could not be ruled out.

Only by deceiving yourself can you deceive others.

Batman discovered almost all the loopholes that others had noticed, and when he came to Gotham, he discovered countless loopholes from his communication with Dick.

First of all, the future Batman will never be Dick.

What you need to become Batman is not how much financial resources you have, or how much personal power you have, or how dark your past is.

Batman needs a smart brain.

Only by thinking carefully enough can we ensure the normal operation of Gotham and the Justice League, and ensure the safety of those around us.

So Batman knows that if anyone can inherit his position, it is undoubtedly the current Red Robin Tim.

Although Tim was killed fighting drones of unknown origin, the drones took his body and retreated, an unusual move that led Batman to believe that he was not dead, or had been resurrected.

So Tim should be trapped somewhere in the universe and unable to escape for the time being.

He is Batman's favorite Robin, because like Batman, he is the world's top human detective.

Of course, this condition excludes the orangutan detective. After all, Bobo is already an animal. If he wears a bat uniform, wouldn't it mean that his animal attributes overlap...

When Tim was nine years old, while watching the news at home, he saw Dick, who was still Robin at the time, performing what only three people in history could do while chasing criminals, the Grayson Circus trapeze move.

This action was the signature skill of the Grayson family, a circus family. From this, he deduced that Robin was Dick Grayson.

At that time, the entire Grayson family died in a shooting, leaving only one orphan. Therefore, Dick's legal guardian at the time, Bruce Wayne, who was registered in the government household registration, was Batman!

A nine-year-old child deduced that Bruce Wayne was Batman based on just a few clues, and he also eliminated all the obstacles thrown by Batman and directly locked in the truth.

This reasoning ability, as well as the mature reason shown by keeping the identities of the two people secret, made Batman admire Tim very much. He did not expect that he would be seen through by a child.

There are not many things in this world that Batman can't think of.

Tim was born to be a detective. He has two parents, is optimistic and cheerful, and his insistence on justice and truth is unparalleled. He is simply the brighter version of Bruce.

Red Robin's martial arts skills were passed down from Ms. Siwa, and she is extremely skilled in stick skills. She can use a long stick to block submachine gun fire at close range. In the past, this was the patent of a modified warrior like Deathstroke, and Tim also did it as an ordinary person. at this point.

If Batman really died in a battle as Dick said just now, then Bruce believed that he would be prepared in advance.

He must have known what he was facing when facing a fatal mission, so he must have left his last words to let Tim become Batman.

If someone says that Batman dies without leaving any last words, then it must be a fake death.

Afterwards, Dick said that all the villains in Gotham had been cured. Batman was the first to not believe it. Even if he meant execution by 'cure', the Joker would not be cured.

As long as the world still exists, clowns will inevitably exist. Just like now, the clown's laughter becomes clearer and clearer in my heart...
