I become light in American comics

It's a lesson Batman may never forget throughout his career.

The thing that sneaked up on him was called "Claw" in legend. That thing was a monster. They are something like the living dead, like the walking dead. That's why even Batman didn't notice the thing's approach.

Batman is the only regular member of the Justice League. He is very good, but he does not have the capital to make mistakes like others. All the immortal teammates have supernatural abilities, and a small mistake in daily affairs can easily be made up for by their abilities. But his mistakes often come with a heavy price.

For example, this time, he wandered sleeplessly in a maze underground in Gotham for several days and nights.

That has long been impossible for normal humans to do. No food, no water, no rest, always spinning in a seemingly endless maze.

Among them, he was constantly fed with horrific images. He saw a whole room of coffins, and saw the faces of those executed by the court hanging on the entire wall. He saw the artifacts of a miniature Gotham, as if someone were showing off to him their control of the city.

And the claw attack. The claws already have powerful regenerative abilities, superhuman physical strength, and it was a sneak attack at home. Batman, who had very little physical strength left, simply couldn't resist it.

Of course, the recreation of classic scenes of alleys, pearls, and the Waynes are still indispensable.

The dual physical and mental torture pushed even the Dark Knight to the limit. However, just when the court thought that he was finished, that his will and physical strength had been exhausted and that he was no longer a threat, and that it was time to take his life, he launched an unexpected counterattack.

Batman squeezed the remaining strength from his body to fight off the claws that surrounded him, and used the potassium chlorate he stole from a camera used to intimidate him in the maze to blast open the breach. He jumped into the icy water through the gap, drifted with the current, and floated up and up.

His consciousness began to blur, and the images he feared kept echoing in front of his eyes. Bats all over the sky, dark alleys, gunshots, pearls everywhere bouncing and dancing on the ground

The water surface was so close that light seemed to shine through. He tried hard to reach out his hand in the direction of the light, but what he got was a layer of hard and cold barrier.

It's ice.

It snowed heavily after Christmas and the water froze. The ice became a barrier that separated him from the light, and he no longer had any strength or means left to break through the ice.

It's over, and this will be the fate of the Dark Knight. After all, I can't touch the light that is only separated by a wall. I am buried in darkness and live forever.

"."

Bang!

The ice breaks. The unconscious Batman was picked up by a white, slender but very strong hand and pulled out of the water.

Kara carried him and flew to the shore, put him down, and tilted her head to look at him.

"He looked alive but looked beaten down."

Behind her was Shen You who was passing by. At this moment, Shen You was holding a stuffed shopping bag. They had just returned from shopping in the supermarket.

"Indeed, it looks miserable." Shen You also took a look.

I guess it was the work of the Court of Owls. He also had some impression of this story. In the publication of the Court of Owls' first appearance, the careless Batman was trapped in their maze and was lost for nine days and nine nights before he managed to escape. In the end, he was picked up and taken home by enthusiastic Gotham citizens passing by.

The world line has changed, and it seems that the role of "enthusiastic Gotham citizen" has been played by Kara.

"Oh my god, there are fractures all over the body, a lot of internal bleeding, and the heartbeat has stopped." Kara said in shock, "Will he die?"

"Don't worry, he's too stubborn to die easily."

Shen You shrugged and threw a healing beam powered by blue light energy. Although he was still unconscious, Batman's vital signs quickly stabilized.

But of course the court couldn't let him go so easily.

In the shadows behind, dark shadows slowly approached.

A Talon.

The footsteps were lighter than a cat, without breathing or heartbeat, as if they were integrated with the darkness. The long knife was slowly drawn out from behind, the blade reflecting cold silver light.

Gotham is a city of owls, and has been so since its inception. Anyone who disobeys the court will be eradicated and will not be able to escape no matter how far they go.

Even Batman.

The sharp-clawed knife was unsheathed silently, and he sneered inwardly as he looked at the backs of the two people in front of him.

Appearing in such a place at such a time, it can only be said that these two people are unlucky. But the court hurdles will be removed.

He raised the long knife high, and when the blade fell, it struck the blond girl's head with a sound that broke through the air.

when!

Talon froze.

There was no bloody scene like he had expected, where the human body was cut in half by a single strike of the knife, and there was not even the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh. Instead, it sounded like the clash of gold and iron.

The half-cut knife was spinning in mid-air, and was knocked far away by the beautiful little head.

Talon: "???"

what's the situation? Did you bring a fake knife when you went out today?

Then he saw the man and woman in front of him turning to look at him with calm expressions on their faces.

"What is this thing? Sharp claws?" Kara looked at Shen You and said strangely, "It doesn't look as scary as it sounds in nursery rhymes. It looks very weak."

"Don't judge by your standards." Shen You said, "Normally speaking, this thing is very powerful and can't be beaten to death. It's already quite scary."

Kara's eyes turned red as her heat vision swept over. The claws stood there dumbly and before he could react, his head had been cut off along the neck.

The living dead, who have no signs of life, naturally cannot be considered "human". Even Batman kills them without mercy. Naturally, Kara didn’t have to show mercy.

The head rolled to the side, the headless body fell to its knees, and the body fell down, black smoke rising from the section of the neck.

The red light in Kara's eyes went out and she looked at Shen You innocently: "Look, he was beaten to death."

Shen You: "."

Gotham's new mayoral candidate's office.

The lights went out. The man who was the mayoral candidate sat back in his chair, and a clawed figure appeared from the shadows behind him.

"Batman escaped, Lincoln."

The sharp claw in the shadow said coldly.

"Hmph, it's really useless."

The man known as Lincoln said indifferently without turning his head.

"Don't forget your identity, Lincoln. What the court gives, the court can also take away." Talon said, "Now, it's your turn to prove yourself."

Lincoln picked up the cup and took a slow sip. He turned around in his seat and looked calmly at the claws behind him.

"Go back and tell them Batman is no longer a threat."

Lincoln narrowed his eyes, his sinister face reflected on the long knife as a decoration on his desk.

"Because I will take action."

I originally wanted to continue with the third update, but the construction of the third update was almost not completed.

So I’ll post two chapters today, and there should be four chapters tomorrow. . .
