American Comics: The Force Awakens

Gotham Toy Factory.

This isn't a very unfamiliar place for Batman.

When Bruce Wayne was a child, Martha brought him here every year.She is a philanthropist and she picks up toys here and donates them to child welfare organizations.

After the deaths of the Waynes, the Wayne Foundation continued this fine tradition.The project continued until the Gotham Toy Factory finally went bankrupt.

Zuko told everything he knew.While searching for the Scarecrow, Batman learned unexpected news.

The owner of this long-abandoned toy factory has recently changed hands, and the new owner is Dr. Jonathan Crane, who has disappeared for a long time but then suddenly appeared.

why is that.

With his cape flying, Batman was thinking until he entered the dark and dilapidated factory.

Klein wasn't wearing his full gear today. He was dressed like a professor fresh out of college, except for the classic scarecrow burlap hood on his head.

Cut open a shoddy baby doll and stuff inside...some real good stuff.He seems to be very familiar with this.

He hummed softly, the tone was very familiar, and he was very relaxed.

Until the bat appeared in front of his desk.

"What happened in that alley, Klein?" He asked in a low voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Until Klein finished humming the familiar nursery rhyme, he didn't respond.

"Technically speaking, bat." He did not use the scarecrow's deliberately scary tone. Instead, he acted like he was chatting. "You are trespassing on private property, and I can do anything to you in self-defense."

"Don't play tricks on me." Bat grabbed Klein's collar and demanded.

The Scarecrow looked at the bat's naked sexy white chin and sighed.

"Sometimes, I feel like you disrespect me. Because it seems like you never remember to put on a gas mask or something like that in advance."

He stretched out his arm and pressed the doll in his hand, and a stream of gas spurted out from the doll's facial features.

Yellow-green poisonous gas quickly filled the room.

Batman reacted quickly. He quickly covered his mouth and nose with his cloak. According to past experience, inhaling a small amount of poisonous gas will not have a big impact on him.

But the price is that the scarecrow is gone.

A voice came from the right, the scarecrow's voice.

"Although this line was not something I wanted to add, someone forced me to say it, so I had to add it."

"It's a trap."

The fog formed by the poisonous gas gradually dissipated, and the surrounding light was very dark.

The bat quickly rushed to the right, trying to find traces of the scarecrow, but there was no one there.

"In the past, the fear toxin failed to defeat you. Since then, I began to think about what your biggest fear is and how I can defeat you."

This time the sound appears on the left.

"I've tried a few times without success, but recently I've gained some new perspectives, the whims of youth."

Batman turned around. There was nothing in that direction, only sounds.

"He said that the bat itself is the embodiment of your own fear, so the bat cannot be knocked down by fear. But what about the man under the cloak? What is he afraid of?"

"He gave me a strange answer. He said that one of your biggest fears is to become the same person again, a member of an ordinary family. Although it sounds ridiculous, I am always willing to give it a try." This time the voice appeared directly in front of me.

"What do you want to do?"

"Let me show you something interesting, some memories from the past."

A light turned on, and a familiar alley appeared in front of him, and there was a vague figure in front of him. His face was unclear, his hand was raised, and he had a gun.

Something shiny was scattered on the ground.

The lights went out again, and there seemed to be a little whispering from other people around.

"It's the wrong picture. Don't use this scene again. The audience is bored. Come with something new and innovative, the kind we talked about before."

There was also a lazy female hum.

The lights came on again, this time to a brighter scene.

"When you first want to explore the truth, when you step into a trap by accident, when you find that you are powerless, you will always be alone."

In front of him is a room that was once extremely luxurious but now only remains in dilapidation. The long dining table is empty and surrounded by various owl decorations.

In the past, little Bruce had more than once suspected that the death of his parents came from a larger conspiracy, from the owner of Gotham's long-standing nursery rhyme - the Court of Owls, which was the first crime-solving operation in his life.At the end of the investigation, he comes to a place called Harbor House, an abandoned social club whose door emblem is two owls.

But he failed completely. There were no answers there that he wanted.

At the same time, an unsecured trap door kept him in the dark for an unforgettable week.

"But what about earlier?"

"Perhaps something caused you disaster earlier, and you even lost the memory of it."

From Batman's perspective, the surrounding environment has changed again.In front of him was an overturned and burning car, and here was an intersection.

There were some sharp objects on the ground, which punctured the tires, causing the accident.

A road sign indicates this is the intersection of Lincoln Road and March Road.

"This was an ordinary car accident, and because of it, you lost the first relative in your life. But is that the truth?"

In the shadows on the roadside, a man in a cloak was watching all this quietly. He was wearing a mask and had bright orange round eyepieces, which looked like the eyes of an owl in the dark night.

When Bruce was three, his brother was born prematurely in a car accident and his official survival time was one night.

On the same night, a children's welfare home called Qingliu Cottage received an unknown baby.From then on, Martha began to frequent there until they were accidentally shot and killed.

The nameless baby grew up and met some people wearing white masks whose faces could not be seen clearly.

Later, he also wore that mask.

Scenes of different illusions appear in front of Batman like a lantern, but are these illusions or real memories?

If it's true, who does it belong to?

"These are all forgeries. I have done research and the Court of Owls does not exist at all." He whispered.

"Actually, I don't think so." A different voice came from behind.

Batman turned around suddenly.

A guy with the same cape and all black appeared there at some point.He has an owl-shaped helmet.

Other than that, they were almost like brothers.

"Welcome to your greatest fear, Batman."

This is Scarecrow's last line of the night.
