Can you retire today?

Lex Luthor, who pays attention to Superman every day, finds that Superman today is very abnormal. The reporters thought that Superman didn't save people at all because they didn't capture him, but Luthor knew that he saved, but After saving, he left immediately.

They came and went in a hurry, as if they were going on a date.

In fact, Clark was with Bruce at the time, but he couldn't ignore the voices calling for help, so he had to finish things quickly and rush back to Bruce.

For a special profession like a superhero, once it starts, it's hard to stop.The world will not be free from disasters because you are dating, people will not be free from trouble and danger because you are dating, enemies will not stop doing bad things because you are dating... When you promise to protect humans, they It has become your inescapable responsibility. If you do it, it is a matter of course. If you fail to do it, you will be accused by thousands of people.

Many people don't care how much blood and tears superheroes have paid, and they even complain that superheroes have brought disasters and villains.People appealed to superheroes to protect their lives, and protested to superheroes because their property was damaged.Perhaps in their hearts, superheroes should not only save their lives, but also not cause any damage to their property.

It's not that they don't know how dangerous those villains are and how deadly those disasters are.When they face the filth, they will choose to live by stealth or even join forces with the filth, but they like to criticize the greatness. They require superheroes to be untainted existences. They long for a savior, but they always crucify the savior after the savior’s salvation is over. .

Of course, not all humans are like this.It's just that human beings are too easily incited and bewitched, and the enemies of superheroes are best at these.

Superheroes are obviously doing good things, but they are always in a passive position.They endure harshness, vigilance, suspicion, and endure pain, questioning, and blows.For the people, for freedom, for peace, for life, for faith... They burn their bodies and souls, they fight, protect, and save. Superheroes fight for human beings that they cannot win.

Superheroes never have Sundays (days off)…

Lex, who hates Superman, has to admit that when Superman gains speed, no one can keep up except the Flash in Central City.

The satellite he had assigned to track Superman only took a rather blurry picture. (Just to beware of Lex, Bruce wears a signal magnetic field disruptor, so when he and Clark are together, they will not be photographed by satellites)

Lex looked at the blurred photo, and for some reason, he felt that Superman in the photo seemed very happy.

Don't ask him why he can see this from a sloppy photo, just ask because it belongs to the intuition of the (brain) old (remnant) enemy (fan).

And Superman went to Gotham twice today, one in the early morning and one in the evening. Lex doesn't know if this means something special, but he has already decided to go to Gotham. See what got Superman's attention in Gotham. (Lex: I want to see which goblin in Gotham attracted Superman...)

After dealing with Clark's psychological issues, Bruce turned his attention back to Gotham.

Regarding the drug case, although the interrogation did not go smoothly at the beginning, but later because the person had also taken this drug, when his drug/addiction broke out, Gordon and the others succeeded in getting the idea from the other party. the information you want.

Then came the arrest, interrogation, court hearing, and conviction...

Harvey gained a huge reputation for this, and Gotham's drug chain was almost cut off, but Harvey was not happy at all, because the real boss was still at large, and the prisoner was just a scapegoat.

The next trial will be in a week, and he must find irrefutable evidence, otherwise even the trial will be futile.

The mayor's indifference to Harvey's various proposals and the deliberate indulgence of the culprit made Harvey more firm in his heart.

The time for the banquet that Brewster intended for him is coming soon, and Harvey and a group of people are chatting in the banquet hall while waiting for Bruce, who is late again.

Rachel, who was standing beside Harvey, whispered in Harvey's ear: "Harvey Dent, our killer of criminals, I really didn't expect that your charm can already captivate our beautiful Mr. Wayne. "She was obviously joking about her ex-boyfriend and new fiancé.

But Harvey just smiled indulgently. He just recently proposed successfully and put a ring on Rachel, which is the time of deep affection.So in the face of his fiancée's ridicule, he pulled Rachel's hand with the engagement ring, "I just want to dump you, or be dumped by you."

Rachel smiled sweetly, "I didn't expect you to talk sweetly, I thought all your eloquence was used in court."

Alfred arrived at the banquet hall early to prepare for the banquet. He saw Harvey who was praised by Bruce, and Rachel beside Harvey.

This is such a sweet couple, and I don't know when my master will let Wayne Manor have a mistress.

Although the host of the banquet hadn't arrived yet, everyone was used to Baby Bruce's late arrival, so they communicated and chatted unaffected in the slightest.

It wasn't until Bruce arrived by helicopter and walked in with a beautiful woman with one arm in his arms, followed by another beautiful woman, that everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to him.

"Hi, good evening everyone." Bruce let go of his arms around the beautiful woman after entering the banquet hall. There was no trace of shame or embarrassment for being late on his face. On the contrary, his face was full of joy.

"I'm sorry I'm late, but I'm glad everyone started the party happily without me."

He looked left and right as he walked, not the kind of poking around, but quite dignified, "Now, who can tell me where my friend Harvey Dent is?"

Then his eyes touched the place where Harvey was standing, and he also saw Rachel beside Harvey by the way, and saw the rings on their fingers with his amazing powers of observation as Batman.

So he walked in the direction of Harvey, "Harvey Dent, the hero of our banquet today."

Harvey smiled at Bruce, and although Rachel who was standing next to Harvey didn't like Bruce's flirtatiousness, the other party didn't have it on her. Out of politeness and everything the other party did for her fiancé, she also expressed her gratitude to Bruce. Bruce smiled.

Standing two steps away from Harvey, Bruce stopped. "Rachel Dawes, our beautiful assistant D.A. in Gotham, she's an old friend of mine, and I've got to congratulate you and Harvey on seeing the apparently matching rings on your hands. I want to congratulate Harvey, You have the heart of a righteous, brave, smart, beautiful girl, and congratulations Rachel, you have the love of a noble, just, selfless, responsible man. If you are going to get married, please do Let me be your best man, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to my grooming and not try to steal the groom's limelight."

Harvey glanced at Rachel, then nodded at Bruce, "Of course, we welcome it."

After hearing Harvey's answer, Bruce smiled. He casually picked up a glass of champagne on the waiter's tray standing beside him, looked at the crowd and said, "The first time I knew Harvey Dent was from one of my daughters. At that time, my heart was filled with disbelief. I just wanted to say: Ma'am, you are now next to the most attractive man in Gotham, why would you think of other men?!"

Hearing this, some of the ladies around responded with a smile.The men, perhaps happy to hear the news of Bruce's deflation, also smiled happily.

"Then, I heard the name from more and more people - Harvey Dent. Who in Gotham didn't know Harvey Dent at the time, maybe I was the only one who didn't know anything about him .It all brought Harvey Dent to my attention, and I learned about the name with curiosity and a little disbelief, and then I learned what he was doing as our new prosecutor."

Bruce paused for a few seconds, seeming to organize his words, "You know what, I believe in Harvey Dent, and I believe Gotham will become safer and more promising under his leadership."

He looked directly into Harvey's eyes, and Harvey looked back at him without hesitation.

Bruce took a sip of champagne from his glass. He never drank alcohol, and this glass hadn't been changed in advance, but he thought it was a good day to go with wine.After drinking, he put the wine glass on the tray of the waiter beside him.

"Look at our Harvey Dent, he's the criminal buster, the hero who doesn't have a mask and can't fly. He doesn't need us to look up, he doesn't need us to look for him, he stands between us, with We are all in this together. Look at his handsome face, this is a picture of the bright future of Gotham, and then I give Harvey Dent the speech."

After speaking, he applauded first, and then everyone applauded enthusiastically.

After the applause ended, Harvey made a brief speech, which was few but powerful.

"I'm honored to have gained Bruce's trust. Wayne has always been the golden sign of Gotham, and I'm very grateful for his support." He and Bruce looked at each other and continued: "In the impression of the outside world, Gotham is a It is a difficult place to live, but in fact Gotham has never been short of people. Many people were born and raised here, and I am one of them. The existence of the law is never for one person or a small group of people. It serves everyone, and some people pursue privileges, but they often become victims of privileges. Only when the law is truly just and the implementation of the law is truly uninterrupted can the interests of all be protected.”

He knew it was useless to talk about ideals and the future with this group of people, but they cared about their interests.Then he promised them this, "And what I have to do is to protect the interests of everyone. No one should be a victim, and no one should be in danger because of their wealth. It's time for us to help Gotham Drive out the darkness."

After finishing speaking, he raised his wine glass, "For Gotham's bright future."

Everyone also responded, "For Gotham's bright future."

Not all rich men in Gotham have ties to gangsters. For example, the most famous Wayne, they are like Gotham's white lotus (not derogatory).

After Harvey finished his speech, Bruce personally took him to meet some brighter people. Since the failure to restore the death penalty last time, he spent a lot of effort to investigate these people, and it really allowed him to find some people who could intersect.

After watching Harvey getting better, Bruce silently left the social circle, and he came to the rooftop to find out.

Baby Brucey has always liked banquets and has been involved in various banquets. Today is obviously a banquet for Harvey Dent and the future of Gotham he has been fighting for, but he doesn't have much happiness in his heart.Even more than this banquet, he missed being with Clark in the sunny town, in the Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic.

It was a rare time for him to relax, a rare time for him not to be the one to be relied on.

Before he knew it, he had taken on too much.The Wayne family, Gotham, the Justice League... Only when he was with Clark as Bruce Wayne could he temporarily let go of all this burden.

At that time, he was just Clark's friend, just Superman's friend, an ordinary person with Superman, there is nothing to worry about.Unless it was Clark encountering kryptonite, he didn't need to worry about how to help Clark without revealing his identity.

He gave so much to Gotham, he gave almost all of himself.

But does he love Gotham?

There is no Wayne who does not love Gotham, but he is not just a Wayne. Wayne is his present life, but he also has his own past life, and the sum of his past and present lives is what he is now.

Gotham gave him Thomas and Martha, and Gotham took Thomas and Martha away from him. He got more pain here than happiness, more sadness than joy, more exhaustion than relaxation...

The saddest part is that even if Gotham treats him like this, he can't leave here.

When Rachel came to the roof to breathe, what she saw was a sad and confused Bruce that she had never seen before.

"Mr. Wayne?" She walked slowly to Bruce. "Are you okay? Thank you for everything you did for Harvey."

Bruce quickly calmed down his depression after Rachel uttered his voice, and put a smile that belonged to Bruce's baby on his face, "It's nothing, he deserves it all, and just call me Bruce, you used to call me Bruce. My father's name is Mr. Wayne."

Rachel couldn't help feeling resentful when Bruce mentioned his father.Thomas is a very good person. He provided a job for Rachel's mother when Rachel's father died in an accident and Rachel's mother took Rachel to a difficult life. Rachel was very grateful to him.

Although she is not qualified, she is really angry when she sees Bruce like this. She thinks that Bruce has made his parents ashamed.She didn't understand that Thomas and Martha were such good people and why their son was the way he was.

Her dissatisfaction with Bruce is not only because Bruce is a playboy, but also because of his various behaviors, such as sleeping in the Wayne Group, participating in various extreme sports, and running away from home in a cowardly manner... He is ridiculous, incomprehensible, and irresponsible ...

"Bruce, you used to be different." She remembered the little boy who played and studied with her back then, and she didn't understand why Bruce Wayne had changed so much.

"Once?" Bruce smiled meaninglessly, "You also said that it was once, it turned out to be once, of course I will be different now, nothing remains the same."

Yes, he used to be so happy and joyful, but now he is only left with a strong skin of happiness, full of pain inside.

Rachel looked at Bruce and asked, "Mr. Wayne once said that why we fall is to get up. So have you fallen now or have you got up?"

Bruce laughed as Rachel watched, and if he could he would have told everyone out loud: he fell, he fell hard the moment Thomas and Martha died!He fell very painfully, and it still hurts now!Can someone come to help him, can someone come to rescue him, he can't get up in pain anymore!

But the fact is that not only could he not say these words, but he also said to Rachel with a smile on his face: "Rachel, I didn't fall, we are on the right path, Gotham is also on the right path , I believe Harvey will be a good leader."

"Really..." Rachel turned her head to look at the sky, there were still not many stars to be seen in Gotham tonight.

At this time, Harvey also came to the rooftop. He was obviously surprised to see both Bruce and Rachel, because he asked Alfred and then went to Bruce, but he didn't expect Rachel to be there.

He walked slowly towards them. "Thank you again, Bruce, for being so helpful."

"It's nothing." Bruce laughed.

Rachel walked up to Harvey and took his arm, "Are you done?"

Harvey shook his head, "Not yet, I'm just taking a short break." Harvey still felt a little guilty about neglecting his fiancée at the banquet.

Bruce saw that the two of them seemed to be saying something unfriendly to single dogs, so he left the rooftop first.

Not long after, both Harvey and Rachel were back at the party.

Just when the atmosphere of the banquet was in a good mood, the clown and a group of people wearing clown masks suddenly broke in from the entrance of the banquet hall.

The clown swaggered in with that face that could scare a child into tears, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

The group of people wearing clown masks held guns to control the crowd.

The clown approached the crowd and looked around, "We are tonight's side show, a big surprise!"

When his eyes swept over Bruce, he stopped, and looked at Bruce with a half-smile, then looked away.

"I just have one question right now, where is Harvey Dent?"

Bruce, who was about to leave, was fixed in place by the clown's eyes. He was a little hesitant. If he left now, Batman would appear later. After the clown had said those words that were plausible, he almost didn't admit it.But if I don't leave now...

Bruce glanced in the direction of Harvey and Rachel, and then quietly left here.Maybe he will expose his identity in front of the clown because of this, but there are some things he has to do, and some people he has to save.

In the chaos, Harvey watched Bruce leave quietly, and immediately let go. He believed that Bruce was going to rescue soldiers instead of running away.

When the clown raised his gun and asked again: "Where's Harvey Dent?"

Harvey patted Rachel's hand comfortingly, then moved away from Rachel and said, "I'm here!"

The clown followed the reputation, obviously he kept saying that he wanted to find Harvey Dent, but when Harvey stood up, he looked like he was not interested.

The clown is like a child who doesn't like to study and is dealing with homework. He casually walked towards Harvey, and everyone around him made a way for him.

"You're Harvey Dent?" The clown snorted, and then waved at a person wearing a clown mask, "He's found, come here."

Then he sat down on the sofa beside him boredly, looking at the people around him with a smile on his face.

"You..." Before Harvey could say anything, the man wearing the clown mask who came over put a gun on his head.

Just as the man was about to pull the trigger, there was a bang, and the man who pointed the gun at Harvey fainted with blood in his chest, and then fell to the ground.

The person who shot was the clown sitting on the sofa, "Hey, it's just the beginning, so it's not interesting to be so simple and rude."

Seeing this scene, other people wearing clown masks kept silent.

Harvey cast his eyes on the clown, "What do you want?"

Rachel had pushed her way through the crowd when the man in the clown mask pointed his gun at Harvey, and now she walked up to Harvey and held his arm tightly.She almost lost him.

The clown looked at Harvey and then at Rachel, with an interested smile on his face, "I want to play a game with you."

"what?"

The clown raised his hand to attract two people wearing clown masks, and asked them to hand over the guns to Harvey and Rachel.

"Let's play a small game of choice. You kill her, or she kills you. If you don't move, then this group of people will die." He pointed to the surrounding people.

"Choose, our Knight of Light, Light? Ha!"

Harvey pointed the gun at the clown, "Maybe I have another choice, and that is to kill you."

He was being pointed at by a gun, but the clown didn't care. Instead, the smile on his face grew wider, "It's a good choice, but it's a pity you don't have this option." Then, he took out a controller from his pocket, "See? As soon as I press it lightly, it will bang!"

The clown smiled exaggeratedly: "At that time, you will all be dead, but I still won't. No one can kill me except the little bat. I can only die in his hands."

"Now, choose." The clown made a gesture of invitation.
