What bad intentions could Batman have?

Earth-11.

Many, many years ago.

The future [Drowned] saw the monster called Dead Water for the first time...

At that time, Bruce never thought that one day, she would completely merge with this monster and become indistinguishable from it.

The huge army of Dead Water was vomited out of her mouth, sweeping every living creature like a sea current, and then transforming them one by one, even corpses could not escape the control of Dead Water.

Those living, water-like creatures can parasitize any host they want, and will change their own form with the host.

They are difficult to kill, and there are many of them.

This is why the Drowned can defeat the entire Atlantis civilization on its own, and also...

It is also the reason why the Drowned's world is destroyed.

…

My father once told me that when my mother was still on land, she liked a song very much.

A very silly song.

"I fell in love with a lighthouse keeper, and our days were sweet and happy. I fell in love with a lighthouse keeper, and our house faced the sea."

The song played over and over again on her old SpinCo stereo drove him crazy, but it made her happy, and so he was happy.

Whether it was trivial or happy, it was part of the connection between his mother and his world.

"We cleaned our little lighthouse clean and bright. The little flame of love burned and burned, as bright as a lighthouse at night!"

"Let's sing our lighthouse tune, from the ends of the earth to the corners of the sea, let's sing our lighthouse tune, from tonight to tomorrow~"

"Is this tune that captured the heart of Queen Atlanna?"

At this time, now.

Mira came out of the bathroom of Sea King Arthur's residence and wrapped herself in a bath towel.

She listened to the song played on the old record stereo and felt a little funny.

"That's him." Sea King Arthur said.

He sat on the sofa in his home, holding the golden retriever he and Mera raised together. He raised his head with a smile and saw his girlfriend wrapping her burgundy hair with a towel and a bath towel around her body, walking towards him.

"Oh, interesting, this song..."

"This song is stupid, I understand."

"I was just about to say that it is completely different from the tides and waves of Atlantis."

"It is also different from Mystery of the Blue Sea. The Beauty Band, Chesapeake, Star Music Company released it in 1965. It is not a piece of elegant art. Maybe that's the point."

"What do you mean?"

Arthur walked to Meila's side: "If we want to have a cultural exchange between the land and Atlantis, you think of those grand things."

"Philosophy, science, ethics, not a pop song."

He picked up his girlfriend. He was so strong that Meila's burgundy hair, which had just been blown dry, fell like a waterfall.

She looked at her boyfriend and heard him say:

"But this song once influenced my mother, maybe she had a little more understanding of the land world, you know, just appreciate these not so high-end things, you can learn a lot about people from the little things they play with."

He held his girlfriend in his arms and spun in the air twice, and then sat on the sofa together.

"You told me this because of your previous proposal, right, Arthur? I don't mean getting married, I mean your idea."

Meira lay in Arthur's arms, she used a slender finger to quietly circle around his chest, and then whispered.

"Maybe." Arthur said: "Have you thought about it again? Huh?"

He began to breathe heavily.

Meira also began to breathe heavily: "I... I'm thinking about it."

The two of them looked at each other, just as they were at this moment.

The situation began to gradually become a little wrong, but Meila at least remembered that she was discussing business.

"Arthur, to be honest... I think this is progressing too fast."

"Um... what progress do you mean?"

Meira slapped his claws away, propped up her gourd-like body with her arms, and then pulled the bath towel wrapped around her body.

"Communication between Atlantis and the land world."

She said seriously: "Don't you think..."

But she was soon pulled down by Arthur again, and then Meila could no longer speak.

68 minutes and 34 seconds later.

They lay on the bed together, the two of them looking at each other.

"Are you going to talk about business now? I mean, the progress is too fast." Meira said.

She turned around and faced the ceiling.

"You are not even the king of Atlantis, even though your brother Orm voluntarily abides by the laws of Atlantis and refuses to ignore your priority right of succession and ascend the throne. Therefore, you have no competitors on the road to the throne for the time being."

Meira said: "But you know, if you don't become the king, there will always be a part of Atlanteans who refuse to recognize you.

Although Regent Tula (Note: the future water girl, who has appeared in the previous article, Lord Orm is the half-brother of Sea King Arthur, and Tula is Orm's half-sister.) listens to you, with the support of her and Commander Muk, you who refuse to ascend the throne can exercise almost the same rights as the King of Atlantis, but almost is almost after all."

"Although Orm refuses to take your throne now, it is only because he abides by the laws of the Atlanteans. If he has been declared a traitor or for some other reason, then he can legitimately ascend the throne."

"Not so..."

"Also, think about what Orm has done. Do you really think you can control him? To be honest, Arthur, I really don't like to say bad things about people behind their backs, but Orm's racism has reached the point of distorting human nature, and he has a morbid persecution delusion."

"He thinks that all creatures living on land are suffering. All land creatures live in poisonous gas. He thinks that land is hell. This idea is deeply rooted in Orm. If he becomes the king of Atlantis, it will definitely be a disaster."

"You really... I don't plan to..."

"Okay. Meila, I don't belong to Atlantis. I don't belong to Atlantis or the land." Arthur said, "So... my mission should only be to become a bridge between the two worlds, not to become the master of a world."

"But Orm is too radical, and the theory of racial superiority makes him unable to see the facts in front of him."

"It's too radical to build an embassy at this time. You haven't considered Orm's ideas at all."

"I will convince my brother." Arthur said, "Om respects me very much. We still have to build an embassy. What do you think of the name of Xuelang Base?"

Meira let out a long breath: "I mean, the resistance may not only come from Atlantis, but also from the government of the land world-"

"Batman can solve these, Don't worry. "

Meira sighed: "Arthur. Have you never cared about the internal affairs of the Justice League?"

"What's wrong?"

"Batman has been busy with those big things. Busy with experiments, busy with solving those multiverse crises."

She said seriously: "Batman hasn't looked down at his feet for a long time."

"Those who oppose him, inside the government, outside the government, and in the private sector..."

"Amanda Waller and Martian Hunter are using means, glorious and dishonorable, to prevent Batman from wasting energy on these petty matters. This is already a semi-open secret in the Justice League. Even though I am not an official member of the Justice League, I have been there so many times and I already know a lot of things in the league."

"Uh... okay, I admit that I may be right. The affairs of the alliance are neglected..."

Aquaman scratched his head: "But I don't understand, what is this..."

"I am very worried, Arthur." Mela said: "Batman has been protected too well. He almost always faces those external enemies and has never faced those malices from the land people."

"Indeed." Aquaman Arthur nodded beside him, and I thought so too: "Although it is not fair to those alien conquerors who were torn apart by Batman, in fact, Batman mainly presided over and participated in some battles against foreign enemies."

"Don't say Batman, you are the same." Mela said: "If one day he really finds out all this...what do you think..."

"According to Batman's temperament, will he talk to the people like Amanda Waller and Martian Manhunter? "

Aquaman Arthur asked his girlfriend: "Of course, he..."

However, a quick knock on the door interrupted their communication.

Meira jumped off Arthur immediately.

She swallowed the original half of "Batman might be disappointed by this", then turned on the old record player with her butt sticking out, and the song sounded again.

"Someone is coming, let's talk later."

"...Maybe there is trouble at sea."

Arthur muttered in a low voice and opened the door.

Then he saw a dark shadow standing there leisurely.

"Officer Watson."

"Ah, Arthur, I saw your light was on, I think you must be at home."

The man was a policeman near Aquaman Arthur's house.

"Did something happen--"

"Of course not. Ah, I like this song." The female police officer poked her head into the room and heard the pop song about the lighthouse played by Meila.

"It looks like Meila is too. "Arthur said.

"Hello, Erica..." Meila poked her head out from behind.

"Well, I know your character when it comes to accepting invitations, so I came to you this time to confirm whether you will come to the Ocean Festival this weekend?"

The policewoman asked.

Meira, who was hiding behind, raised her eyebrows: "Ocean Festival?"

"Port Ci'en Ocean Festival, an annual festival celebrating our connection with the sea, you know, fishing, seafood, sightseeing, quite fun."

The policewoman squatted down and touched the golden retriever who ran to him and asked for a hug.

"I'm not sure, it's very likely that we will not be peaceful these weekends. Because the establishment of the embassy and the problem of Lord Orm have not been resolved."

"Please, you have to come, you are almost the biggest connection between Port Ci'en and the sea, you must come, it's fun."

"Well..." Arthur said: "I..."

"We will go." Then Arthur saw Meila put a hand on his shoulder, so he also said: "It looks like we will go, Erica."

"Great, the festival is open to everyone, bring your friends." The policewoman said. She was about to turn around and leave.

"Friends?" Aquaman Arthur said: "Me?"

"We will bring friends." Meila said.

"Cool, see you guys tomorrow." The policewoman turned and left.

Aquaman Arthur turned to look at his girlfriend: "Bring friends?"

"You suggested cultural exchange... honey."

Then he saw Meila blinked twice, and then Arthur raised his hands in surrender on the spot.

"Okay, okay."

"Friends..."

He touched his chin and suddenly said:

"I know, I can find Batman."

"Are you sure?" Meila said: "Batman is so busy, how can you ensure that he will come with you to participate in this ocean festival?"

...

...

...

In a prison in Albuquerque.

"Here, buddy."

A prisoner sat in front of a wooden table in the interrogation room, and another policeman put a glass of water on his desk.

"Not even coffee?" the prisoner asked.

"The heater is broken, so just drink the water. Where were we just now?"

"I told you I'm going to find a lawyer." The criminal said, "Otherwise I won't say anything."

"You have to make trouble, right? Huh?"

"Okay, okay."

Finally, the prison guard gave in.

He left the interrogation room again, and the prisoner's voice came from behind: "Come back quickly."

"Okay. Don't go away."

Then, in the interrogation room, there was only the prisoner and a glass of water.

But in the next second, a hand suddenly stretched out from the glass and grabbed the prisoner's face.

The prison guard who came back soon after only saw a large pool of water on the ground and an empty room.

"What's going on?"

New York.

A woman was lying in her bathtub.

Then he saw a pair of hands stretching out from the water.

No, it was a pair of blood-red, ferocious claws like a lizard.

Then the next second, a scream sounded in the bathtub, and then blood sprayed on the wall...

Texas...

Boston...

Chicago...

...

...

...

...

"You are singing your song again." Arthur said to Meila.

"I am not."

Meira replied.

She changed the subject and asked, "By the way, didn't you ask Batman to come? Is he here?"

"He is." Aquaman said, "With Wonder Woman."

He shrugged: "You see, this is how I get Batman to participate in the Ocean Festival."
