Everyone thought that Bruce would go black [Comprehensive British and American]

"..."

Bruce suddenly thought of those children, he thought of the chaotic night, the children he dug out from under the rubble with his bare hands, they would feel timidly sorry for soiling their expensive suits, Well-intentioned and uncomfortable, and he can't help them.

Bruce was silent for a moment, and he suddenly said, "Why?"

Batman looked a little surprised, he didn't expect Bruce to ask him this question, "What do you mean?"

"The darkness you have seen will not be less than me." Bruce's fingers moved slightly, "Why do you still persist?"

"Because I've been told Gotham isn't hopeless," Batman replied.

"Someone... huh...someone." Bruce murmured, he suddenly raised his face, and his sharp gaze went straight into Batman's eyes.

"Someone told me that, but look, what have I gained?"

"My body that aches every time it rains? Or my broken family? Or something else? I also thought I could save Gotham! I also thought I could bring light to Gotham!"

"Gotham never needed a dark knight." Batman opened his mouth. "She needs more power, and we can't deal with those bright side things through our means."

"What do you think I want to do?" Bruce leaned weakly on the glass, "I want to do something through the Wayne Group, I want Gotham to have another Light Knight."

"Harvey Dent has failed." Batman frowned, "but the light he once was still shines on Gotham."

"No...he failed completely." Bruce shook his head stubbornly, "We need a new symbol, we need someone who people can trust, we need people in Gotham to have faith in their hearts."

Batman nodded, "That's right." But he hesitated again, "But we need to give Gotham some time."

"Time?" Bruce said sharply.

"Little bat..." He seemed to have heard some joke. He shook his body and laughed out of joy. After a long time, Bruce wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Give her time?" Bruce asked rhetorically, "Like one of those futile charity projects of the Wayne Group?"

"You used your wealth to prolong the time of little Jim, but not everyone is so lucky to meet the momentary kindness of Master Wayne. You arranged a job for his scumbag father. I hope he can live forever. Live happily ever after."

"Isn't it? You're sophistry!" Wonder Woman couldn't help it, and she angrily yelled.

"I didn't." Bruce gave Wonder Woman a cold look, then looked away.

He looked at Batman and said with a sneer: "You know how fragile ordinary people in Gotham are? You long to give them a spider thread and pull them out of hell? In the process, at the slightest risk, they will Fall back, and they could have endured the darkness! But you let them see a glimmer of light!"

"They have degenerated further and further. Even Harvey Dante, who used to be so noble, will live in Arkham in this city!"

"Do you think everyone has your willpower?"

"That's what I'm doing." Batman said flatly, he stood straight, straight like a sword, deeply hurt Bruce's eyes, "I can't use my power to interfere with things that I shouldn't touch place, but I can use my strength to prevent their accidents."

"But you let the clown come out again and again, you make Arkham more and more residents, why can't you do something about it?" Bruce hung his head in annoyance.

"Bruce Wayne is a mortal." Batman's eyes were frozen, he still had no expression, and his voice was steady: "But Batman is not."

"Batman cannot use the power beyond this world to move and advance the development of this world. I almost killed Clark once because I realized that once he is willing to use his power to change the human world, then human beings will not be able to survive in him." The hands can only tremble."

"Bruce!" Superman protested, his little curly hair bouncing, as if remembering the pain of being hit in the face by a big black cat.

Batman shot him a glance, and Superman fell silent.

"Our world is constantly experiencing abnormalities. Decades ago, Captain America became the first person with strange powers in the world, and then such people continue to appear. We are dealing with them every day, which gives us an illusion .”

Batman said, "That's when superpowers became common."

"But most human beings are still ordinary people. It's easier for me to realize this because I saw the existence of Superman and Wonder Woman. Even if ordinary people can't do anything, they are also changing the world."

"What I can do is to use my strength to keep them from being disturbed."

Bruce opened his mouth: "What if you take off your hood? Batman? If you choose to become a symbol of Gotham, you take off your hood and tell them that Batman is Bruce Wayne, just like Tony, you go Go forth and give Gotham a better future."

"..."

Batman looked at him sympathetically, "You know that's impossible."

Bruce falls silent, even though this is what he imagined when he found out that he was Batman, but he has to admit that Batman is right, those bad assumptions will become real.

He also agreed with Batman's point of view in his heart.

Batman continued, "If I can give Gotham a better future by standing up, then I won't hesitate to stand up, and I'm even willing to pay more, but you also know that if people in Gotham know, Behind Batman is a powerless mortal, but can a mortal acquire such power?"

"At that time, the people will become fanatical, and they will do whatever it takes to obtain such power, and the whole people will become super-powered?" Batman pursed his lips.

"Bruce, is there anyone who knows the fragility of human beings better than you?" Batman asked.

"..."

"Taking a step back, what do we rely on to make decisions for them? We think arrogantly that these lambs need the guidance of the shepherd? To construct a utopia like playing with children's toys? When human beings lose their free will, when human beings Thoughts are being fooled by our words, when human beings no longer focus on the present, but place all their hopes on one day gaining power beyond human beings, so as to gain a higher status?"

"You're so arrogant," Batman said.

"Then we look at it like this? Knowing that the law is evil, but we want to be surrounded by evil laws? Knowing that the system is wrong, but we don't correct it? But we firmly believe that it can improve and evolve by itself? Knowing that the good people in Gotham It’s degrading day by day, but don’t we cut out those tumors? Let them swallow the bones of those soft and kind people without leaving any residue?”

"What about the children? Those children who are willing to be born in this city? Those children who are willing to live in darkness like gutter rats? They have watched their brothers and sisters sell themselves for a bite of food since they were born, and when they were a little older, they used violence. Take everything you want!"

"How many organizations in Gotham disguise themselves as charities and secretly use children as bargaining chips?"

"Those dignified and dignified people formed the court of owls, let the nursery rhymes of the court of owls be sung in Gotham all the time, defending those bottomless crimes, and those who want to fight for it, all the time watching in the shadows There's nothing to hide, what did Batman do for them?"

"Generations of people have never seen a glimmer of hope, and what has Batman done for them?"

"Batman only knows to scare those crazy people in the middle of the night, throw them into Arkham again and again, and then play with them, and then pray in the deep Batcave that the world will be a better place?"

Bruce stood up coldly, "You are the arrogant one."

Superman and Wonder Woman watched their confrontation silently. They also realized many problems in such a dialogue, and also noticed the biggest difference between Batman and Bruce.

They were also looking at Gotham, and Bruce could only notice the countless ailments, he could only notice that Gotham was getting more and more hopeless, but Batman could notice that Gotham was never a backwater, she was doing her best. She can, try to be good, Batman can notice the good in Gotham, but Bruce can't.

And Bruce is too anxious, he seems eager to solve all problems at once, but these problems are never a short-term solution.

— There is also a way.

Destroy all forces, break all systems, build new temples on the ruins, and flowers will bloom in the land burned by war.

"I will not allow you to attack my Gotham." Batman walked up to Bruce and lowered his voice, "This is my city, my Gotham, and you, I need you to stay away from my city." a little."

"Oh..." Bruce laughed, "not anytime soon."

"Guess what I did? Batman, I made a big game board, and now we're the only players on it, but I didn't set any rules."

"If you dare to hurt..." Batman's eyes were stained with anger, he was fed up with playing damn games with the clown again and again, but now he was going to play games with himself?

And this guy looks crazier than a clown.

"Shh... don't be so angry." Bruce laughed, "Let me finish, there are no rules to this game, and likewise, there are no time limits."

"Run, Batman." Bruce smiled and opened his arms. Behind him was the vast universe, and the rotating stars were tirelessly emitting eternal light, all of which set him off extremely small.

"Maybe when you don't know, you will lose completely."
