For Dick, who is far away in Bludhaven, he hasn't been home for a while, and he still doesn't know that his old father has been living in Gotham recently, which is particularly interesting and inexplicably bloody.

In fact, he still doesn't know that he has a new brother.

Recently, Nightwing's scalp was numb because of Bludhaven's gang.

He is not the same as Bruce. Although Bruce, as Batman, belongs to the category of worrying about rest time at night, he still has a lot of rest time during the day if there are no special circumstances.

At least as far as sleeping in meetings is concerned, no one would choose to wake up Brucey baby when he was fast asleep.

But Dick is different, he belongs to the category of getting a monthly salary, and he has to go back to work at the police station during the day, compared to Baby Bruce, who can occasionally sleep in meetings in his free time, his staying up late is much worse many.

Especially recently, the gangsters in Gotham don't know what's going on, and they start all sorts of tricks inexplicably. Many people have mixed up with Brudhaven and intersected with the local gangsters, which somewhat makes Dick feel uncomfortable. Pay less attention to avoid these gangsters doing things where he doesn't know.

Of course, if it was only the gangsters who were doing little things in private, Dick certainly wouldn't be running around the clock almost 24 hours a day like he is now.

What caused his current situation was another matter.

This incident happened in Bludhaven a few days ago.

At that time, Dick was carrying out the last night patrol before going back to bed every day. Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, this moment is the most relaxing moment in the night patrol. Most of the things have been resolved in the middle of the night. He just Need a simple tour of his city, you can start his short break before going to work.

But that day was different.

That day, Dick found some strange corpses in an alley in Bludhaven.

The location of this alley is very remote and small. In fact, if Dick hadn't happened to pass by and glanced down, he probably wouldn't have noticed anything unusual here.

But he just discovered it, whether it was an accident or a coincidence, Dick clearly discovered the existence of those corpses.

In fact, for Brudhaven, sometimes it is not so strange to find some dead people in some strange places. After all, the reputation of this place is much worse than Gotham from some angles, and because Gotham's level of perversion is too high, and most people who can't get along will choose to come to this city to hang out.

Those who can come out of Gotham are more or less not good. In addition, Bludhaven itself also has many local gangs and evil forces of all sizes. The occurrence of conflicts is almost inevitable.

Bludhaven's death rate is somewhat second only to Gotham.

Dick knew this clearly, but he could only try his best to avoid these things from happening before the tragedy happened.

But the corpses in this alley are different. From Dick's point of view, he can clearly distinguish the cause of death of these people, which may be unusual.

The corpses of these people were dry, and the whole limbs showed a very abnormal thinness. The muscles on the body seemed to have been dried, shriveled and dark, like a mummy just dug out of the grave, with An uncomfortable visual experience.

And the most important thing is that these corpses are not one or two, but many, many are stacked together and randomly thrown beside the trash can.

Dick is not a forensic doctor and is not good at autopsies, but with his experience as a Robin next to Bruce, he still has an intuition that there is something wrong with these corpses.

Among other things, just seeing that there has not been any public cemetery in Bludhaven that has been exposed to have lost corpses recently, it can be seen that most of these corpses were not dug out of the ground.

Then the source of these corpses is very problematic.

Dick's desire to control is in the same strain as Bruce to some extent. As his city, Brudhaven, Dick refuses to have things that he doesn't know happen here.

Therefore, in the past few days, Dick has been staying up all night in order to track down the situation of these corpses.

But it is obviously impossible for him to investigate alone. Dick is good at physical fitness, and most of his skill points are in agility. Therefore, he is not as versatile as his father Bruce. He is somewhat weak in information collection and investigation, including logistics technology. Some.

With the night patrol paying attention these days and finding many similar dry corpses, Ye Yi chose to ask for help outside the venue.

Silently returned to his safe house, took a simple bath, and Dick, who made some cereal, opened his communication.

The connection on the communication side was Batgirl Barbara, who was Ye Yi's off-court supporter chosen this time.

Barbara understands Ye Yi's work and rest. After all, whether it is Robin's period or Ye Yi's period, the relationship between this young girl and Ye Yi is always very good, even if they have had a relationship once, and Separated due to various reasons, it still failed to change the harmony between the two of them.

At least compared to Bruce, Dick is still willing to ask his former girlfriend for help.

Barbara is obviously also very willing to help Dick. In fact, she has been helping Dick track down the corpses of Bludhaven these days, and she has already achieved some results.

"The identities of the three people you sent me three days ago have been found out." Barbara said: "Two people from Gotham, one from Brudhaven, those two people from Gotham were in a week Those who went to Bludhaven before did not show any intersection between them, the only thing that can be regarded as suspicious is that they all went to the same place at a certain time a few days ago."

"Here." A panoramic map of Brudhaven popped up on the communication interface, and finally the coordinates were located in a remote area by Barbara. She said: "This place is relatively remote. According to my judgment, they There's no reason for any of them to be here."

"So you are suspecting that there is something wrong with this location." Dick carefully stared at the map, and recalled a little, only feeling a little headache.

Ye Yi was a little impressed by this place, but not very deep. After all, this place is said to be in the area of ​​Brudhaven, or rather, it just occupies a side with Brudhaven. In fact, this area has been closed for some reason. It has been abandoned for a while, and the flow of people is pitiful.

The city of Bludhaven is very large, and there is only one superhero. Unlike Bruce and assistants, Dick goes to work during the day and patrols at night. As he is alone, he will inevitably make some omissions sometimes.

And this abandoned area with zero traffic is considered a part he neglected.

Obviously, in this place, where he didn't notice, something happened very quietly.

Dick thought about the recent messy black mummy and the undercurrent of the Brudhaven gang, and felt an extra headache. He had a hunch—he didn't want to take a serious rest recently.

But in any case, this matter has a rough idea, which somewhat relieves Dick's burden.

"So when are you going to check it out?" The map disappeared, and Barbara's face reappeared on the comm.

Dick thought for a while: "It's daytime."

Dick's identity is a policeman during the day, and sometimes with the help of his position, he can easily enter and exit some places without being noticed.

This matter is a bit complicated no matter how you look at it, and Dick doesn't want to startle the snake.

Barbara nodded, indicating that she knew it.

In fact, from a selfish point of view, when Barbara saw those mummified corpses, she knew that this matter was not simple, and I am afraid that a lot of things can be dug up later. As Batman's Batgirl, Nightwing's ex-girlfriend, Barbara La hoped that Dick would communicate with Bruce to seek off-court assistance.

After all, as an advisor to the Justice League, Batman has experienced many vicissitudes in Gotham for so many years. He has seen everything and has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of thing.

In this obviously dangerous situation, Barbara said that she was not worried about Dick being fake.

But as a person who used to have a close relationship with Nightwing, Barbara also knows some of Dick's personality. She knows very well that Dick will not choose to ask Bruce for help. After all, they had a quarrel not long ago, and they are still in a cold war. among.

Barbara actually understands Dick quite well sometimes. After all, after getting along with Batman for a long time, you will know how difficult he is. He has a strong desire for control and emotional constipation. , but it was more like an order when he said it in his mouth.

Dick had grown up, he wasn't a kid anymore, and it was normal to be unbearable.

But it's not the same thing if these two continue to fight so coldly.

Barbara thought about the recent series of events, as well as Clark who has already lived in Wayne Manor, and the newly adopted Jason. She felt that if Dick didn't go back again, maybe when he went back, some things would change. more complicated.

Barbara sighed in her heart, after a little thought, she decided to save the country with a wave of curves.

"Aren't you planning to go back to see little Kirk recently?" Barbara said, "Kids tend to be forgetful. If you don't go back for a long time, maybe he won't remember you next time."

In fact, everyone knows that this sentence is false. After all, the children of Superman and Batman cannot be the same as other children.

forget?It didn't exist, and this little guy who was particularly vindictive to some extent probably remembered Dick better than anyone else.

But what I have to say is that Barbara's words really reached Dick's heart, and he really missed little Kirk a little bit.

Who wouldn't?

The milk-flavored little dumpling is soft, obedient and well-behaved, and has no other shortcomings except that it relies heavily on Bruce.

Dick really never thought that a child would be so cute, the little one feels so good in his arms, just looking at it makes people want to rua.

If the younger brothers were such lovely creatures, Dick really wouldn't mind having a few more.

Thinking about the good life surrounded by a group of younger brothers, Dick felt that his head, which was a little dizzy because he hadn't rested for a long time, was much clearer.

"I'll go back when I'm done with this."

Dick said so.

Barbara nodded, somewhat relieved.

At this time, she didn't know that Dick was already thinking about the good life of having many younger brothers. In fact, if she knew, she probably couldn't help shaking Dick awake.

After all, if Bruce has another child in the future, she doesn't know what will happen for the time being. At least according to the current situation, Jason doesn't seem to be as well-behaved as Little Kirk.

——This will probably be a critical blow to the cheerful Dicky bird.

But in any case, it is a good thing that Dick can agree to return to Wayne Manor, which can somewhat show Barbara the dawn of the Bat family and his son giving up the Cold War.

But now is not the time to think about this matter. You must know that going back will be a matter later. The most critical issue now is the inexplicable mummy that appeared in Bludhaven.

According to Barbara's detection results, Dick took a police car to the point marked on the map the next day after simply eating his cereal and taking a rest.

That location is not close to the police station where Dick is, and it will take a while to get there by car.

And this place is indeed as Ye Yi knows, the flow of people is very sparse, in fact, it can be said that if Dick hadn't come over, there would be no one here.

The purpose of entering is a large abandoned factory. Judging from the simple appearance, the old buildings clearly indicate that no one has been here for a long time.

But appearances are appearances. After Barbara clearly pointed out that someone had been here a few days ago, this simple appearance could not serve as a cover-up at all.

Dick got out of the car, frowning and walked towards the factory.

He had a vague premonition—he might find some other clues here.

……

"Boss, a policeman has passed by in the gathering area."

In a dark and opaque room, a man knelt on the ground and reported without lifting his head.

In front of him was a man in a black robe whose face could not be seen clearly.

At this time, this man was standing motionless in the middle of the room. If he hadn't been rubbing a thick book in his hand, probably no one would think that he was a living person.

But even so, it is still a bit of a stretch to say that this man is a living person. After all, there probably would not be any living person who would have a pair of hands that were so thin that they were almost covered by a layer of skin.

Hearing this person's report, the man called the boss turned his motionless head slightly.

Thanks to the huge hood, no one can see exactly what his face looks like under the hood, but in the case of the man kneeling on the ground, from his angle, he can feel the expression of the standing man. His eyes fell on him very slowly.

It was an unusually sticky sight, and when it fell on the body, it made people feel uncomfortable all over.

Of course, the man kneeling on the ground was no exception, he could hardly control his trembling under the sight of this, and felt terrified.

But he dared not move.

As a member of this organization, he had seen other people die in agony at the hands of this hooded man countless times.

He was afraid of death, and he was afraid that the fear he showed would lead to his own death, so the man could only endure the fear and knelt down on the spot.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard the man in the hood ask, "How long has he been in?"

The voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasant, like a sharp object and smooth glass, with an uncomfortable feeling that made people's skin crawl, but it was undoubtedly a kind of in the ears of the man kneeling on the ground. pleasant music.

— This means that he will not die, at least for now.

"About 10 minutes, boss. Our people discovered it quickly, and we haven't matched him yet." The man knelt on the ground and said quickly: "But the policeman is still inside, as if he is looking for something. We need to directly Kill him?"

"No." The hooded man said: "Save his life, don't act rashly for now."

"Then our people..."

"Get out." The hooded man's voice carried an unquestionable order: "Don't be discovered by anyone."

The man's head lowered even further, he didn't dare to question the hooded man's order, so although he was puzzled in every possible way why the boss didn't choose to directly kill the mistaken policeman, after hearing the hooded man's words, he still He said "yes" quickly, stood up quickly, and arranged the news.

In the house, the silence was restored again,

After the reporting man left, the door of the room was completely closed, and the whole room could not be seen, and the darkness was terrifying.

The hooded man was still standing there motionless, as if he was not alive.

Until the darkness in the corner suddenly rustled a few times, another thin voice came out: "Why didn't you choose to kill him?"

The voice was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be a person: "This matter is extremely important. We have been preparing for too long, and we must not be destroyed because of this one policeman."

"You know how annoying this group of police is. If it's just the police, it's fine. Bludhaven has vigilantes. If they are targeted, they will be in big trouble."

"Kill him, just save a time to find a sacrifice."

The voice didn't stop, and the killing intent in the tone was clear.

But the hooded man refused: "This policeman can't move."

The volume of that voice instantly increased: "Why!? You know the importance of this sacrifice. If it fails, we will have to wait a full 100 years for the next time!!"

"It's because you can't fail that you can't do it." The hooded man rubbed his fingers over the book, and in the darkness, no one could see his expression clearly: "We can still cover up the disappearance of ordinary people, and the missing police have a higher probability of being discovered. "

"As for the vigilante... If you mean the nightwing of Bludhaven, we don't need to worry about it at all." The man in the hood lowered his voice a little: "As long as you don't disturb the Batman in Gotham next door, everything is fine." There won't be any problems."

"I am more aware of the importance of sacrifice than you, and I am also more aware that we must not fail this time. We have come to this point, and everything needs to be cautious."

"It's just a policeman. We only need our people to evacuate temporarily, and he will never find any problems. As for the future... It's too easy for Brudhaven to die alone. It's just a policeman..."

"I know better than anyone how to handle this."

The voice finally quieted down and did not speak again.

A moment later, there was a sharp and piercing sneer in the darkness, "I hope you are really clear."

The man in the hood didn't speak any more. If there was light here and someone could see him, they would probably notice that his hand holding the book was a little tighter.

"Of course." The man's tone was calm, but in the eyes that no one could see under the hood, there was a twisted frenzy that didn't match his current state.

In the darkness, he seemed to be muttering to himself: "I want to live more than anyone else..."

After the voice fell, no one opened their mouths to say anything, and the original calm was finally restored in the room.

……

Dick himself, for the time being, has not discovered the fact that he has been discovered.

But aside from this point, for Dick, he did discover something else from this special area.

As Batman's predecessor Robin, Dick has seen enough by Bruce's side.

After all, it is no exaggeration to say that a place like Gotham can be regarded as gathering most of the strange things in the whole world, and there are all kinds of people who are mixed with fish and dragons.

On the technology side, on the magic side, there are even types that mutate themselves or return to their ancestors.

So although Dick is less experienced and experienced than Batman, he is still well-informed.

For example, now, Dick has discovered something strange in this seemingly normal dilapidated factory building.

— There is some blood on the ground near the corner here.

There is very little, but it can be seen that it was probably stained by splashing, and the color is relatively brighter. It seems that there is not much difference between the time when the bloodstain was stained and when Dick discovered it.

Dick's eyes sharpened instantly.

He was keenly aware that the situation was wrong, and that there were probably people around him watching him.

Silently reaching into his pocket, Dick quickly turned on the shielding device he carried with him, took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the blood stains in the corner, and then used the small device he carried with him to scrape off the blood stains and store them away.

He had a hunch that this wouldn't be the only unusual place.

In fact, it was exactly as he thought. After the entire abandoned factory was turned down, although there was no one there, there were quite a few strange places to be found.

There are three blood-stained places like this, almost all of which are concentrated near the factory where Dick is located, and without exception, judging from the freshness of the blood, they have just left the human body not long ago.

Of course, apart from these, Dick also found some other things in some corners, some special things that seemed to be pulled down inadvertently because they evacuated too quickly.

——It was a decorative object no bigger than a small fingernail engraved with runes.

Dick stood up holding the piece of metal decoration, and looked around.

He was wearing some sonar equipment. Obviously, judging from the sonar feedback, there was really no one around.

But according to some subtle traces at the scene, Dick can still see that there were people here not long ago, not just one, maybe a group.

Dick groped for the decoration pensively, staring at the runes on it for a moment. Finally, he quickly ran out of the factory and quickly got into the car.

The police car was driven away.

Dick was driving the car on the way back to the safe house, and at the same time, he called Barbara who was far away in Gotham.

"Barbara, I've made some new discoveries, please check for me..."

……

When Barbara received the news from Dick and began to investigate the blood, Bruce was buried in the quilt in Gotham's Wayne Manor and refused Clark's wake-up service.

A while ago, because of the Arkham incident, Batman could be regarded as working 24 hours a day. Even if he slept with his eyes closed during meetings during the day, it was all a disguise. Crazy to keep working.

This situation is simply overdrawing his life, but Batman is used to it, and he doesn't think there is any problem at all.

But for Clark, who watched Bruce's black eyes getting worse and worse, this kind of non-stop work was too much.

So after resolving the matter of the double-faced man and Batman finally had a simple short rest, Clark didn't want to wake Bruce out of bed at all.

Silently looking at Bruce who was buried in the bed and refused to get up, and used "sleep for another 5 minutes" as an excuse to sleep for an unknown number of 5 minutes. Clark stood by the bed with some distress and remained as quiet as a chicken.

Because Clark is now living in Wayne Manor, the task of waking Bruce up in the morning was completely handed over to Clark by Alfred.

Except for the very beginning, the old butler would come up to assist Clark in pulling up Brucey, who was lying on the bed, but then he just let go of it completely.

After all, what I have to say is that Kryptonians sometimes have a special advantage in waking people up or helping Bruce not be late because of their physical fitness.

For example, now, if Alfred came up to call someone, even if he felt sorry for his master who had a rare time to rest, Alfred would forcefully choose to get Bruce up.

After all, time was running out, and if he didn't get up, Alfred had no doubt that his wayward master would stay in bed all day, and then continue his night watch at night.

With Clark, the situation is completely different.

It is also to wake up Bruce. As a Kryptonian with special advantages, he can make Bruce sleep in bed until the last minute.

Silently looking at the time, Clark made sure that the meeting of the Wayne Group would start soon, and he gently tugged on Bruce's quilt.

Because the little Kirk was thrown to Jason recently, this soft little ball is rarely seen on Bruce's bed, and there is only one wayward big clinging on the bed in the snow-white sheets. Right off the bat, Clark was pretty successful at pulling the quilt.

Well, ignoring Bruce's dissatisfied gaze, it's probably considered very successful.

If it was normal, Clark would be 100% cowardly when faced with Bruce's eyes.

But it's different now. Leading the task of the housekeeper, Clark has an absolute gold medal for avoiding death. He can stand up to Batman's disapproving gaze and grab this big bat that is too big to be bedridden from the quilt.

"Bruce, you can't sleep." Clark pulled the quilt: "There is a meeting in less than 10 minutes, you have to go to the meeting."

Bruce: "..."

Bruce didn't say a word, as if he didn't hear the poor Superman.

Clark looked at Bruce who refused to get up, and sighed helplessly: "Okay."

He should have known that Bruce would not listen to him. After all, Superman is the chairman of the Justice League on the bright side, but in fact he has no status in Batman's Wayne Manor behind the scenes.

But let's not say, Bruce is really cute at this time, just... a bit poignant for no reason.

Silently looking at Baby Bruce who was buried under the bed again because he let go of his hand, Clark coughed lightly, and his eyes drifted involuntarily.

Then when he turned his attention to the big bat in the bed again, there were only less than 5 minutes left in the time.

At this moment, it is really impossible to stay in bed any longer, and Bruce obviously knows this, so this time, even Clark didn't need to do anything forcibly, the big bat that stayed in bed got up from the bed by itself.

Getting dressed and a simple breakfast took about four and a half minutes.

With the last 30 seconds left, it is time for the meeting to begin.

For ordinary people, these 30 seconds are no different from nothing, but for Bruce Wayne, 30 seconds is enough.

After all, as Batman, he has a Superman as his sidekick.

To some extent, this Kryptonian, who has become Bruce's special vehicle for getting up early to work in a certain period of time, transported his partner to his company in less than ten seconds.

No one found any abnormality during the whole process.

In the last 20 seconds, Bruce straightened his bow tie in the mirror of the bathroom, then pushed open the door of the bathroom very naturally and confidently, and walked quickly into the conference room.

The checkpoints were very accurate, thanks to the fact that Bruce was not late, so everyone pretended not to see it.

And no one knew that even just 5 minutes ago, this delicately dressed little prince was still unable to get out of bed under the quilt.

It can be said to be very realistic.

As for Clark being used as a means of transportation...

Don't ask, it just feels so good.

For Clark, this is probably the only time he has the opportunity to observe Bruce in an open and honest manner, and he can also get in close contact with his partner.

After all, Bruce in his Batman state is really very resistant to Superman's flying service, even though Superman himself could not be more willing...

But in short, the morning meeting was considered not late.

After the meeting, Bruce, who seemed to be sleeping soundly on the chair, opened his eyes after the crowd left.

Lucius stood in the room, looked at Bruce who rubbed his neck and stood up, and said, "Mr. Wayne, I think you may need some alone time to rest."

As Batman's technical support, Lucius is also well aware of Bruce Wayne's recent state.

Although he is not like Clark with his own filter, he will infinitely magnify the dark circles under Bruce's eyes that don't show much at all, and silently feel distressed, but he still doesn't agree with Bruce's high-intensity overdraft, and he is a little worried about it .

"I'm fine, Lucius." Bruce said, "But now is not the time to discuss this."

In fact, he received a message from Barbara not long after the meeting just started.

The news was transmitted in a special way, and no one except Bruce found anything unusual-this is the unique communication method of the Bat family.

Barbara generally wouldn't bother Bruce during the day, after all, they were working at night,

Then the sending of this newsletter must mean very important content.

And Bruce didn't need to think too deeply, he could guess that it probably had something to do with Dick. After all, it was just yesterday that Barbara reported to Batman what was wrong with Brudhaven and Nightwing's discovery.

After silently turning on the office system and making sure that the entire office was closed, Bruce sat in front of the computer and scanned his pupils to confirm his identity, then opened the message Barbara sent him.

Those were several DNA matching reports, and the conditions of those people who were successfully matched, all of which were clues that Dick had found in that factory not long ago.

Of course, it also includes the inspection of the metal decoration.

Barbara said: "There is no connection between these three people at all. From the information, we can only find that they seem to be the victims of a missing persons case, but what is certain is that all of these people have been missing for fifteen days. above."

"As for the metal decorations, there is no problem, but the runes on them don't seem to be simple, they look like some kind of very ancient language."

Batman zoomed in on the decoration, observed it carefully for a moment, and firmly agreed with Batgirl Barbara's point of view.

And thinking about it a little bit more, Batman thinks it's probably the product of some kind of magic.

But Batman is not on the magic side, and it takes a professional to determine whether this rune is really as he guessed.

But recently, Wonder Woman Diana has returned to Paradise Island. It is estimated that she will not come back until she is on duty in the watchtower. Zatanna is also in a similar situation. There is no contact at all. Batman can only retreat and choose the next best thing other candidates.

Like...Konstantin.

But before that, Batman still has some other things to solve, such as: "Tell Dick about the runes for now, tell him not to act rashly."

After saying this, there was a moment of silence in the communication before Barbara's voice came over: "I can only do my best, you know Dick's temper, if he knows that I told you this, he will definitely be angry. "

But it’s not enough if you don’t tell. After all, Dick has Batman’s locator and status monitoring equipment on him. Naturally, he was discovered by Batman.

Faced with Batman's inquiry, Barbara could only choose to tell.

But Dick didn't know about it.

Otherwise, if he knows that there are monitors and status monitoring equipment in his body, there is a high probability that it will explode. At that time, one can imagine what the relationship between Batman and Dick will become.

Barbara is sandwiched between these two people, it is extremely difficult to advance and retreat.

But Batman obviously also knows that Barbara alone can't persuade Dick, so he has other ideas.

"I'll let Jason go."

As Batman's assistant, the second-generation Robin is much better than Dick's obedience to Batman's orders, and he will not refuse Batman's real-time monitoring requirements.

Although Jason is still young and Brudhaven's situation is obviously wrong, it is not a good choice to let Jason go now, but Jason has been paying attention to Dick for some reason recently, and has proposed several times to go Meet Dick, as an old father who cares about the cub, Bruce intends to take this opportunity to let Jason go to see Dick after careful consideration.

Just to break Dick's pace.

As for the safety of the two of them, Batman is not without backup...

"Kirk will follow," he said.

After all, he inherited the genes of Superman, and Kirk's fighting power was outstanding when he was not awakened. Now that the Kryptonian bloodline is awakened, Kirk, who has a weakened version of Superman's ability, is still a walking giant even if he can't see it from the outside. Killer, with Little Kirk by his side, Jason doesn't have to worry about safety at all.

As for whether Little Kirk suddenly appeared in the battle...

Are the various surveillance devices that Batman installed on Xiaotuanzi fake?Under Batman's all-round monitoring, as long as there is any change in this little guy's situation, even if the heartbeat speed is wrong, Bruce can receive the news in an instant.

At that time, with Clark's super speed, it took only a few seconds for Batman to reach the battlefield.

All without any problems.

Well, except Dick.

After all, this guy still doesn't know that he has a younger brother. Presumably, the scene after the two met in Bludhaven is the same.
