The Knights of the DC House

Chapter 5 So, let's start a new life

The next day, in New York, Consortium B Comics. Backed by the large consortium Wayne Enterprises, this comic company pioneered the creation of superhero comics with the same name. It has long become a landscape of this city. Frequent major events, for this

For a comic company, it is the best publicity. The superheroes authorized by the comic company to create the same name each show their own style in major events.

So far, "Gotham Begins", published under the authorization of Batman, is the best-selling personal comic book by Consortium B at home and abroad. Although the name Batman is not directly marked on the signature

, the Batman Begins series is more like a prequel surrounding the birth of Batman, and it is precisely because of this that it arouses people's curiosity even more. The Justice League has become a symbol for people on earth.

The most powerful superhero organization in the world has always upheld justice, and Batman's status in the Justice League is no lower than Superman. For most people outside, they think Batman has super powers.

He can fly, be invisible in the dark, is powerful, and can emit ultrasonic waves. For insiders, they know a lot about the secret that Batman is Bruce Wayne, and they know even more clearly that this Dark Knight is just an ordinary person.

But such an ordinary person occupies a place in the Justice League, and his voice is boundless. The mystery surrounding Batman makes everyone want to understand why Batman was born through the Batman Begins series.

A superhero like the Hero, and the Heroine Mysteries series also unfolds the changes in Gotham in the past thirty years from multiple perspectives to describe, draw, and create creations based on reality. Under such multiple perspectives, reading The Heroine

The mystery has become a philosophy of thinking about life.

Because most of the audiences of Knight Rider Begins are adults, they understand better that in this stand-alone series, in the multi-perspective descriptions, every villain in Gotham City is born for a reason, and they put themselves in the same position.

, allowing more people to resonate and become more curious about how Batman was born.

If the Batman series of the same name is a realistic side and has become the best-selling personal comic book at home and abroad, then the Kamen Rider comic series represented by Ke Wen is a fairy tale for adults, spanning

Several age groups. In terms of sales, it has the momentum to compete with the Batman comic of the same name. The cool armor transformation, well-designed lines, and secondary creation combined with real events in a virtual city, originally

During the comic's release, many people were not optimistic about this comic of the same name.

Because of the transformation and so on, the scene is so shameful just thinking about it, plus the design of the knight’s armor, half black and half green? What kind of garbage aesthetic! Only children can see this kind of thing! So,

In the beginning, Ke Wen's Kamen Rider series was in a tepid stage. It relied on its performance in previous major events and used its popularity to maintain sales. After all, children still like these transformed things.

In addition, based on the development of some toy peripherals in the comics, you can still see the profits there, and all this has changed since the Blackest Night incident. In that major incident, by encountering the devil

The King of Time and Kado Yaji joined forces, with the help of the Knight comics published by Ke Wen relying on Consortium B, and using this as a traction, they summoned the knights belonging to the Knight Universe and helped Ke Wen expel the black men who had descended on the earth.

Corps of Lanterns.

The figures whose faces could not be seen clearly, the words printed directly in people's minds, and the sound of transformation were undoubtedly light to those people who were in darkness at that time. Then many people discovered

, it turns out that the appearance in the comics seems to be quite offensive to my own aesthetics, and the transformation is not that ugly. At first glance, he looks very handsome.

A cross-universe distortion of aesthetics, (?).

It was only after this major incident that the capital of those entertainment empires re-examined this comic company, which was founded on the backing of Wayne Enterprises and granted superhero copyrights, and also understood the potential contained in this company. In this capital, the main

, in an era where traffic is king, these superheroes who save the world and live among the crowd are walking golden signs, and Consortium B has mastered the golden signs among the golden signs.

Supergirl, Batman, The Flash, well, whether these are made into movies, TV series, or animated movies, they are a huge amount of income. Just those who like superheroes are enough to make them a lot of money.

But their income was not enough in front of Ke Wen, the Kamen Rider. A major event that swept the world made everyone aware of the existence of Kamen Rider, those cool transformation belts, etc.

Proportioned armor, and props for switching transformations.

These peripherals are all money. Compared with developing dolls such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, it is obvious that the products that Kamen Rider can develop are of greater value and can collect more profits. All of this is also

Ke Wen's Consortium B Comics Company has completely become a hot commodity, especially after cooperating with several major entertainment giants to set the development direction for the next ten years, Consortium B Company has completely taken off.

The New Yorker never thought that a comic company would reach this level by various coincidences, and reach cooperation with several entertainment giants without being divided by these giants. In this country with capital monopoly, it is really difficult.

It's so rare. At this time, in the office of Consortium B Comics Company, the old man, as the editor-in-chief, was also drawing his own sketches. At the age of 60, he didn't look old at all.

On the drawing board, he carefully painted various pictures in his mind. Among the New York buildings at the beginning of the night, a red and blue figure was wandering between the buildings. On the road below, there was a man riding a motorcycle.

The insect monster has red reinforced muscles, crimson compound eyes, and a pair of golden tentacles. It goes up and down, chasing the vehicle in front of it.

Halfway through the painting, the old man suddenly said: "It's really rare to see you come here. You are really big-hearted about your company."

"I can't help it. I'm the one responsible for paying. If I really want to learn management, I still have a long way to go. Before that, it's best for you to manage. But then again, Spider-Man is not qualified.

I still made it from you, tsk tsk, this is going to be put up for auction, and a lot of people are rushing to collect it."

Behind the old man, Ke Wen's figure appeared silently, and then praised the old man's paintings. He did not forget that the old man in front of him, in a sense, can be regarded as the Marvel Universe next door.

A multi-universe projection, and the predecessor of Consortium B Comics Company was a comic company stationed in the DC Universe in the Marvel Universe.

"That's a good compliment. It seems that the previous incident didn't have a great impact on you." He stopped writing, took the coffee handed over by the text, and commented on Ke Wen, who had a somewhat lazy temperament behind him.

"Well, I was a little uncomfortable having my memory wiped out at first, but I still recognize my identity as a Kamen Rider, so it doesn't matter. If you can say that, I guess you weren't affected at that time."

"It's a projection after all. Although the combat effectiveness is negligible, as a projection of the universe, it still has a special function. But like I said, I am just a projection of the universe, recording what I see.

That's the only thing I can do. I can't help you with anything else. You can only handle it yourself."

Ke Wen didn't care about the old man's explanation. It was originally a game between himself and Dr. Manhattan. The winning or losing was entirely up to him. It didn't matter whether anyone came to help. What's more, the old man in front of him was not oaa, and he couldn't help in the past.

Why bother? Even Woz gave Dick and the others a prop at the end. The rest still had to be done by Dick and the others. If Dick and the others couldn't remember, no matter how good the dial was, they would not have won at that time.

possibility.

Ke Wen has never been a guy who struggled with others in this regard. He didn't come to see the old man this time to discuss this with him.

"Okay, I won't say much more about these past words. Master, how is the company's operating status recently? Can we start the next step?"

Lying down on the sofa in a comfortable position, Ke Wen was also concerned about the status of the company of which he was the boss. He also remembered the cooperation terms signed with the entertainment giants before Dr. Manhattan engaged him.

"Thanks to you, after being active during this period, and after the wrong memories were corrected, they are very enthusiastic about the film and television production of our superhero IPs. It's just that you were busy during that time, so I didn't go.

Contact you, the one who can make the decision is to temporarily hand over the animation production of The Flash to Disney. They are better at this aspect, and the other ones have not yet been decided. By the way, there is also the one you are most concerned about, Persona.

Do you have any ideas about the live-action version of Knight TV?"

In response to Ke Wen's inquiry, the old man was also talking about the operation of Consortium B during this period. As long as the world does not end, life has to go on normally, and you can move every brick. So during this period, Consortium B's

Operations have also entered a stable period of growth with Ke Wen's several major events and the linkage with the Justice League. When the old man talked about the live-action of Kamen Rider TV, Ke Wen, who was originally lying there, also

He sat up immediately and said with his eyes shining.

"About this, I have a bold idea~"

Just when Ke Wen began to have time to follow up on the Kamen Rider film and television project he wanted, Clark Kent, who chose to give up his identity as Superman, also returned to his own life. On a sunny morning, Clark got out of bed

He woke up, and what woke him up was not the sound captured by the extraordinary super hearing, but the alarm clock in his home. As soon as he turned around, the alarm clock that woke him up fell into a pile under Clark's hand.

Component.

"Honey?" Lying next to Clark was his wife, Lois Lane. The noise caused by her husband early in the morning made this hot mom ask there, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"It's okay. I'm just not used to this feeling. I thought I could control it. You can continue to sleep. I'll finish breakfast and go for a walk."

In response to his wife's inquiry, Clark also looked at the bracelet on his wrist, said something to his wife, and then got out of bed to prepare breakfast.

"Well~ I'll sleep a little longer. The kryptonite has not weakened your physical strength. I'm exhausted. Remember to send little Jonathan to Gotham. Today is the day when he and Helena go to school together."

Turning over and telling her husband, Louise continued to swim in dreamland. Clark also looked at his wife with a doting smile, helped her cover her with the quilt, and then started to wash up. The bathroom.

Here, Clark looked at himself in the mirror, familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. This was the first day that he gave up his identity as Superman and became Clark Kent. But on the first day, he felt uncomfortable in many places.

Through the mirror, Clark looked at himself at this time. Batman had prepared enough kryptonite medicine for himself for one year to inhibit the activity of cells in his body absorbing yellow sunlight. When Superman started taking this medicine

, his eyes also have a green part at the pupil, which is caused by the circulation of kryptonite drugs in his body, which means that he is just a Kryptonian living in a gravity level lower than his home planet at this time, and

Not a human god under the rays of the yellow sun.

The comprehensively weakened cells mean that he no longer needs special customization to deal with some trivial matters in life as before. Just like now, he no longer needs to use a specially customized kryptonite razor to trim his beard.

And on my back, well, the nail scratches left by my wife are still there.

"Well, I always feel something is weird, but it seems like it should be like this. Son, Jonathan, it's time to get up and start the first day of your long-distance love race~"

Rubbing his chin, he walked towards his son's room with some unwarranted excitement, and woke up the sleeping little Jonathan. In terms of controlling his own abilities, little Jonathan, who has earth genes, is much more comfortable than him, and can be activated passively.

, can also be turned on actively, and there is no need to practice at all. After breakfast, he led little Jonathan to the Lex Enterprise Building. With Lex’s unhappy eyes and expression showing that his veins were popping, Clark took little Jonathan through the sonic boom.

The passage comes to Gotham.

In the underground Batcave of Wayne Manor, Batman, no, now Bruce Wayne should also be holding his precious daughter, waiting for Clark there.

Then under Bruce Wayne's heavy gaze and Clark's sunny smile, the two little guys also entered the school, becoming Damian and Raven (Raven) juniors.

"Damian," Bruce said to his son as he looked at little Jonathan's smiling face.

"Yes, father."

"I heard from Alfred that you are very popular in school."

"Well, after all, my bloodline comes from you."

"Then, take good care of Helena and little Jonathan."

"It's a pleasure."

The two father and son showed evil and savage smiles at the same time, which made Clark who was listening on the side break into cold sweat, but he couldn't say anything at this time. He was completely weakened by kryptonite, even if he has a physical fitness that is twenty times better than that of a human being

, it seems that it is not enough for Batman to fight. After all, even Bane, the pharmacist, was beaten by Batman and he still hasn’t gotten off the hospital bed. But then again, it seems that as Superman, he has never beaten Batman, so

When I think about it, well, there seems to be no difference.

For this reason, Clark could only give his son a wishful look, although little Jonathan did not see it.

The two fathers stood at the school gate, watching their children enter the school, and remained frozen there until Clark himself broke the deadlock.

"The two of us, let's find a place to have a drink."

"Can."

Turning around, Bruce was about to signal Clark to get in the car, but Clark looked at the bright red Rolls-Royce and was silent for a while before saying, "Can we find a more low-key way to travel?" After saying that, Clark also looked at

He turned to the side and listened to the yellow taxi that was preparing to carry passengers.

Gotham Port, Iceberg Gambling Ship, Clark and Bruce were sitting on the deck looking at the scenery of Gotham, drinking wine. As the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight, both took off their shirts at this time,

Each other looks at everything in this city with their truest identities. The sea breeze blows, and the long-lost sunshine shines on Gotham, a city that is always clouded. The light reflected through the glass casts a blanket on the city.

Put on a coat.

"Huh, after the sunshine, Gotham has really become different. The security is much better. Even without Batman, there is still that tower. Your project?"

"That guy taught me a lot. It wasn't me who saved Gotham this time, it was him. The citizens of Gotham should also know who saved the city and saved them. He suffered more than anyone else in this incident.

I owe him a lot."

While drinking, Bruce also said there.

"It seems that we all got something from him," Clark, who was also drinking, looked at Bruce, "So, what are you going to do now? I chose to put down another identity and prepare for a new beginning. What about you?

How long do you plan to wear this uniform?"

"I know what you are worried about, Clark. I really want to take off my suit. I have this idea after seeing the hope of rebirth in Gotham. But it's not the time yet, not now."

"Because of what."

Looking at Bruce, Clark also asked. As a friend, he wants Bruce Wayne to liberate Bruce Wayne from the curse of Batman more than anyone else. For this city, as Batman, he has paid too much, if it weren't for Dammy

Ann, Helena and Dick were with Bruce. He was really afraid that his friend would fall. A completely dark Batman could show more destructive power than him. This was when he was Superman.

, the result deduced by my own super brain.

"...Remember when you used Hal's ring to help me strengthen my willpower and get me off the Mobius Chair?"

After a moment of silence, Bruce also asked Clark a question.

"I remember, what does this have to do with me asking you this question?"

"As I freed myself from the Möbius chair, I asked it one last question."

"···clown?"

Seeing Bruce's suddenly silent expression, Clark, who knew him well and knew him well, also expressed his guess after being silent for a while. Bruce, who did not give an affirmative answer, also let Clark know that his guess was correct.

"What does this have to do with the clown? Isn't he dead?"

"Yes, the Möbius chair answered me the same way, but its answer is different from yours."

"What?"

"The answer it gave me was that there are three clowns and one is dead..."

Bruce's answer made Clark frown, because he understood what kind of opponent the Joker is to his friend. He upholds a philosophy, but Bruce does not. Faced with such a guy, simple force cannot solve the problem.

Any problem, if you kill a clown, the clown can use the same method to create another clown, another clown who is as crazy as himself. Even he almost lost control because of what the clown did to his wife and children.

He swore that it was the first time he was really angry enough to kill someone without any reason.

"Skip this topic. I've been looking for clues about the Joker during this period and found nothing. But how do you feel about your day as Clark Kent?"

Just when Clark was worried about his friend, Bruce also asked himself, concerned about his life as an ordinary person after fully weakening the activity of cells in the body against yellow sunlight. After being stunned for a while, Clark also turned to look at

At the port, the sea breeze blew, blowing his curly hair upwards, and Clark also smiled.

"Honestly, I feel uncomfortable in the morning. I don't need to use heat vision to cut my hair, or use a kryptonite razor to shave, and the sounds that have been echoing in my ears will no longer appear.

I walked on the street and realized that whether Superman exists or not, everyone living in the city lives the same life. It was like this before I came, and it will still be like this after I didn't come. If I really want to say something different, it's just that

To be able to say that I made their lives better, I shortened the process and at the same time, erased their efforts.”

"Yes, the existence of Superman has simplified many things, but the easier it is to obtain something, the less people know how to cherish it. So, do you have any ideas now?"

After drinking all the wine in the glass, Clark also looked at Bruce's eyes looking at him. After a long time, he said: "Are there any seats on the vacuum bullet train going to the Capital District?"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Two old men laughed in a gambling boat that only they could understand~
