American comics start with Zha Kang’s apprentice

"Another universe..." Batman said in a deep voice while looking at his other self.

"So you are...me from Earth 2?" Batman in black looked at his other self curiously, and then he looked at Wonder Woman.

"He is the Batman of the Metaverse, but... due to reintegration, the Metaverse also contains fragments of several parallel universes, and today's definition is closer to... New Earth." Orangutan Captain Stubbs fiddled with A tablet-like device in his hand said, "The Batman of Earth-2 is dead. He died in the Secret War in 1979, but I can't find the corresponding complete publication. I think we must hurry up." Find Nix, who alone can go through all the known publications and fix all the holes."

Batman, wearing a white armor, looked at Stubbs and asked, "Who are you? Who is Nick? You seem to know many secrets of the multiverse."

"He is an artificial life created, Bruce. I think the Nix he mentioned should be a monitor. They are high-dimensional beings who live in areas that we cannot even imagine or touch." Wonder Woman The hero looked at Stubbs solemnly, "Where is your master?"

"Lex Luthor, he is also from the New Earth! He is your fellow countryman!" Stubbs replied very cheerfully, "He is still alive and has occupied Earth-2 Lex's body through teleportation."

"Oh my God... I have never believed him, but I didn't expect..." Wonder Woman clenched her fists angrily. Although the encounter between her and Batman was the conspiracy of the "Chief", the root of these evils is still the same. In Lex's case, he used that powerful force and also used those criminals to push the New Earth into a situation of no return, and finally fell into the hands of the "First Fallen".

"What's going on with these guys?" Batman, who was following Stubbs, pointed to the still unconscious madmen behind him, "Were you attacked?"

"Those guys should be the clown's men. I asked some truth during the fight." Batman from the New Earth replied, "And I guess that clown is also from my world. Because of my escape, he will... "

"Joker? Escaped?" Batman, wearing a black armor, turned to look at his other self in surprise, "Why is he still alive?"

Batman on the New Earth frowned slightly.

"My father often said that extreme madness cannot be restrained by law and morality, and what we have done has already exceeded the scope of the law. In this case, we have become another kind of justice and trial." Black Armor's Batman said very calmly, "We deserve to make better choices for this world. You know, there's no cure for them."

"What did you do, Bruce?" Batman in white armor asked calmly.

"I killed the Joker, and the only mercy was that... I didn't make him feel pain, and I didn't enjoy the process." Batman in black armor looked directly at his other self, "I sentenced that lunatic to death, and it's over ended his life of sin."

Batman on the New Earth is silent.

"You think I crossed that line into madness? I don't know what you've been through, but I have a PhD in psychology, I've volunteered at Arkham Asylum, I've traveled around the world and I've Having lived in a slum, I tried to understand the motivations of those behaviors and the origin of individual consciousness, but some people are born evil." Batman in black armor said, "You can't save them, mutations, Heredity, or the irreversible deeper unconsciousness of the individual determines who he is today, they are... broken, Bruce, this is a cancer that the law cannot eradicate, that is why we are needed. Believe me, I have never felt happy , after all, I took away a living life, but I also know that every time I kill a villain, the lives of many people will be extended."

Black and white, two Batmans stared at each other in silence.

The Batman of the New Earth believes that breaking the constraints of the law is also a necessary means to maintain law and order. Handing criminals over to the judiciary is the necessary way to put Gotham on the right track and to allow the people of Gotham to regain confidence and believe in justice. You can get justice, lead the new era in self-awakening, and become the true master of Gotham.

Extreme violence will destroy everything. When the media distorts the facts, and when fighting violence with violence becomes an example, the so-called grudges and grudges will be distorted. Killing people only need to add fabricated reasons to become "justice" that escapes legal sanctions. ", and when arbitrarily forging evidence and excuses becomes a means to transcend the law, order will no longer exist, and Gotham will become darker.

But this reformist approach will also breed a series of problems, just like clowns. Because society is dominated by capital and more rules and regulations. Those lies define the current order. There has never been justice, even if Batman is committed to providing more jobs and more infrastructure. , but desire and human nature are the root of everything.

This is a knot that cannot be changed, and it eventually became Batman's heartache. His anger and regret tortured him, and the nightmare of that night in Sin Alley will always linger in his heart. He even always sees the boundary between light and shadow. Every time, he wanted to cross the past, strangle those sins, and strangle his former self.

Even in the recent battle, Batman thought about killing those madmen.

But...even so, does that really mean rebirth? Will that bring about a new future for Gotham, and for the world?

Now, before him is a different self, one who does not seem to be trapped in violence and contradictions, but has he...really changed Gotham?

"I know what you want to ask, Bruce." Batman in black armor said, "The answer is... no, our experiences are different, and our choices are also different, but the only thing that is the same is that we cannot change anything. The battle is more like a battle between myself and myself. My father accepted it. He also accepted the death of my mother before he died. He asked me to take over the mantle and inherit the responsibility. I think... this is enough. It's a road that never ends, Bruce, you know that."

Wonder Woman put her hands on the shoulders of Batman, who was wearing a white armor, and she looked at Batman's vicissitudes of face gently.

"Maybe you are right..." Batman of the New Earth said solemnly, "I will make a settlement."

Batman in black armor nodded, but he didn't smile. He just stared at his other self and said calmly, "Very good, this conversation is necessary. I think it will prevent us from conflicting with each other. Because in the next actions, I will not show mercy, everything is for the safety of the multiverse!"

Batman on the New Earth heard the implication - anyone who stands in my way will die.
