Jedi Knights in the Comic World
Chapter 38 Return to Gotham
The difference between Gotham and Metropolis is obvious. They are both industrialized cities, but the security in Metropolis is much better than that in Gotham. Almost half of the annual crime rate in percentage terms is in Gotham, which is a paradise for criminals. The old and new cities are clearly polarized. Most of the old cities are divided into slums, while a small number are ordinary and lower-level civilian residences.
In the past ten years, everything here, from the judicial system to the political system, has been basically filled with the smell of decay, but it has always been active on the map because of its unique geographical conditions.
Ironically, although the distance between Metropolis, known as the City of Light, and Gotham is in the same state, due to its unique geographical location, you can see the vast ocean across the sea from the south of Gotham. All cities. The two are connected by a very long bridge across the strait. It takes several hours to go back and forth by bus. The City of Light and the City of Darkness look at each other across the sea.
Metropolis is different. As a rising industrial star, and protected by that god-like man, the media calls it the "City of Light." But no one knows that it is precisely because of this god-like man. God, the future of Metropolis will become increasingly troubled.
Of course, this is all in the past.
Today's Gotham is much better under the joint governance of Harvey and Jim Gordon, and the crime rate is on a straight-line decline, especially since Bruce Wayne secretly provided information, and Harvey and Gordon used this information to control the police department. All the moths in the police station were cleared away, and some young police officers were recruited to take up the post urgently. These police officers, who had not been corrupted by money, were full of energy. In a short period of time, there was zero crime in a certain neighborhood.
Since a large number of gang leaders died or were imprisoned in prison during the Joker's recruitment operations, the Joker became the leader of their respective gangs. After the Joker was arrested, the gangs were leaderless, and there was a large-scale struggle for power.
As a result, Gotham ushered in its most glorious moment in ten years. The Light Knight and the Dark Knight joined forces to fight against crime, and the name of the crime city disappeared from the mouths of Gotham people for a time.
When Albert came here before, Gotham seemed to be shrouded in clouds all year round. This feeling was even more obvious when standing on the bridge connecting Metropolis and Gotham. Now, some old buildings in Gotham are gradually being improved and rebuilt. With new glass and wall paint, colorful lights on the streets, Gotham people are beginning to show their smiles, which all represent the new life of Gotham.
But all of this, under that man's violent law enforcement, seemed to return to that high-pressure Gotham under certain conditions.
Such as night.
Metropolis is like a colorful and vibrant watercolor painting, as vibrant as the guardian who represents the city, while Gotham, which is only a bridge away from it, is like a painting with a layer of ink splashed on it, different from his guardian. The black armor was no different, filled with gloom, violence and lifelessness.
A silver luxury car speeds on the bridge, and Albert and Clark are on a wonderful journey to Gotham.
"Why do you think that person has become so violent recently?"
Clark sat in the passenger seat and looked at the sea view outside the window and asked Albert.
"You mean Batman?" Albert said with a smile.
"Yes. I don't understand why he did this. It's unnecessary." Clark nodded.
The bat seems to have gone crazy recently. He is still punishing the criminals in Gotham, but the difference is that he seems to have lost control. The criminals' tragic injuries ranging from broken bones to paralysis have made the people of Gotham feel horrified. Their city The guardians began to become cruel.
This high-pressure state has made the ordinary people of Gotham miserable, and even the criminals have become more aggressive, the crime rate has increased again, and the cells in the police station are full, but it has no effect.
"He has his reasons! Every city and everyone experiences different things." Albert said.
"Maybe!" Clark said to himself.
When they arrived in Gotham, Clark separated from Albert, saying that he was going to interview Gotham people about their opinions on the football game, but Albert knew that he had other purposes.
Albert took Fiora to visit Denton's wife Elizabeth. More than half a year had passed since Denton's one-year appointment. It was said that his results at the base were very good.
I met Commissioner Gordon at the police station and learned that Harvey and Rachel had gotten married and traveled to Europe after the situation in Gotham stabilized last month. They were also happy for them.
Gordon expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Batman's recent violent behavior. Because of this, Gotham's recent nights have become increasingly restless, and Gotham, which has finally begun to regain its vitality, has become very strange.
Late at night, Albert stood on the rooftop of the police station. Gordon walked aside and turned on the searchlight. A huge white beam passed through the metal bat shield in the middle, forming a circle with a phantom of a bat in the sky. .
The huge sign can be seen anywhere in Gotham, even the Metropolis across the sea.
Lex stood on the rooftop of the group, looked at the bright bat lights in the distance, and laughed.
"As night falls, the show is about to begin~" Lex said with a smile.
"I think you would also be happy to see your old rival die tragically at the hands of Superman! Slade."
A man slowly walked out from the dark corner behind him. He was fully armed. Both his head and body were covered by sophisticated metal armor.
A full-coverage black and yellow half-and-half metal helmet, the whole body from the neck down is wrapped in fine mail, and the chest, shoulders, and limbs are covered with another layer of armor-like shoulder pads.
Two slender black and yellow cloth strips behind the mask were fluttering in the wind. Only one eye was exposed on the left half of the mask, while the right half of the mask was completely black without any gaps.
"Maybe! But I would rather he die by my knife." Slade's voice through the mask was a little more unreal.
Slade Joseph Wilson, nicknamed "Deathstroke", is a mercenary who was injected with a super-soldier drug called "Mirakuru", which gave him superhuman strength and resilience. He is cruel and cunning, with a brain development rate of 90. He can be said to be the most powerful tactician and assassin in the world.
"It will take some time for the plan to be implemented. Where will you go next?" Lex looked at Slade with a smile.
"Star City. I have an old friend there who I want to meet."
Slade pondered for a moment, wiped the non-existent dust on his shoulders, and said.
"Star City? That's a really nice place. There's Oliver Queen and Green Arrow."
Lex mentioned two names intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ha, Green Arrow" Slade sneered.
Back on Purgatory Island, if the stupid Oliver had chosen Shado instead of that Sara, maybe they wouldn't have turned against each other.
It's time to go back to Oliver to settle the accounts. I wonder what kind of wonderful expression he will have on his face when he sees his old friend.
Albert, Gordon and others have been waiting on the rooftop for a while, but Batman still hasn't appeared.
"What are you doing here?"
Suddenly, a thick electronic synthesized sound came from the head.
A huge bolt of lightning pierced the dark clouds over Gotham, and the flash of light reflected a huge black shadow. Everyone looked up and saw Bruce in a black bat armor standing on the huge gargoyle in the corner of the police station building. , looking at them condescendingly.
"Hey! You're here! Long time no see!" Albert greeted with a smile.
"Why did you come to Gotham when you weren't staying in Midtown?"
Bruce looked at Albert with some surprise. He didn't know why he suddenly appeared in Gotham.
He has always had doubts and uncertainties about this man, not knowing any of his abilities, and correspondingly unable to create tools that could limit him.
Before, I silently let him go just to thank him for saving Harvey, but the meaning of his reappearance was different, especially since he had experienced so many things during this time.
Young Robin was killed by the Joker who escaped from Arkham Asylum, causing his mood to hit rock bottom. He also almost lost his beloved old friend Jack. In just a few short months, his mood has been ups and downs. To put it bluntly, Bruce is now extremely close to the black level.
He began to become violent, and his hatred of clowns, anger at the death of his family decades ago, fear and powerlessness towards aliens gradually transformed into the person he is now.
"Man, your recent actions have been a bit excessive!" Albert said with a smile.
"If you're just here to preach, then there's no need." Bruce snorted, turned to leave, and looked back at Gordon.
"Stop calling me for such boring things, I know what I'm doing."
"Wait a minute!" Gordon called to Bruce.
A bitter smile flashed across his face. This old policeman in his fifties, who had worked conscientiously in Gotham for nearly thirty years, felt lucky for the first time because of the appearance of Batman, and also for the death of those vigilantes. Feel sad.
He said mockingly: "I know you feel guilty for Robin's death, and why don't I? That kid is so outstanding. When I first saw him, I heard from his voice It came out, what a childish voice!”
Bruce didn't look back.
He said loudly: "But no one expected that the clown would escape from the asylum, and no one expected things to be like this! No matter what you think, the child is gone! This is a fact! You should not express your anger. On those criminals!”
"You don't understand, Gordon."
Bruce whispered, then he turned around and his tone became fierce.
