[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

Superman shook his head at Batman, falling in front of him.

"Sorry, B," said Superman, "I can't find him. Gotham has too many leaded buildings, I can't even tell if the Joker is still here."

"I'm afraid we have to prepare for him to leave Gotham," Batman said in a deep voice. "The Joker isn't in Gotham—where is he most likely going?"

"—Metropolis," said Superman. "It's not the first time this has happened. He wants to destroy you by destroying me, B."

"Maybe. The logic of the Joker's actions is difficult to judge, but his purpose is always quite clear... All we have to do is stop this." Batman said, and he opened the entrance to the Batcave. "Get ready."

"I believe that the greatest detective in the world will catch this criminal in a short time." Superman flew beside him, joking to liven up the atmosphere, "I heard that the famous consulting detective in England just took a look Can judge a person's origin, presumably Batman can do better."

Batman glanced at him and sighed helplessly. "I didn't know you read biographies, too."

"A friend's hobby. I think Mr. Sherlock Holmes should indeed have his extraordinary features. After Tim met him, he began to call himself the 'third best' detective in the world." Superman didn't know what he remembered, lightly laughed.

"I think that's Tim's way of sarcasm. Little Mr. Holmes's disrespect and flouting of the rules is more impressive than his talent." Batman said casually. will be higher than him."

"Oh... It seems that Mr. Holmes' trip to Gotham was not very pleasant." Superman laughed, "But you have a high opinion of his talent, which is rare."

Batman's eyes were fixed on the screen of the bat computer, and he said thoughtfully: "His basic deductive method reflects the most logical way of thinking that a detective can have, which is very instructive."

"Can you give me an example, Mr. Detective?" said Superman.There was no one else in the Batcave, presumably because it was daytime, and Superman was happily flying low in the Batcave, waiting for Batman's conclusion.

"For example, the friend you just mentioned who likes to read biographical novels is Audrey Lewis, and you may be dating her in the near future." Batman still didn't look at Superman, and on the screen in front of him, a certain block flickered With some active red dots.

"..." Superman coughed.His expression looked like he was choking on his favorite apple pie, somewhere between wanting to laugh and embarrassed, "Maybe I can ask how you came to that conclusion?"

"You just bought new hairspray not long ago, and you still smell a bit of the perfume from the store's counter." Batman tapped the keyboard and said, the corners of his mouth slightly twitching, "Since the number of opposite sexes around you is limited... and you I used to not read novels by myself because of my friends' hobbies. Jason once liked Shakespeare so much—"

He fell silent suddenly, his fingers resting on the keyboard.Superman's smile also faded, he flew over and patted Batman on the back lightly.

"We'll find the clown, B," he said softly.

----

The missing clown himself, watched by the whole of Gotham, is underground in the outskirts of the metropolis, as he usually does, humming eerie tunes and making his vicious toys.

"Hey, Petty," giggled the clown, "Look at this! What a cute little fish!"

Not far away, Lawrence, who was staring at something in front of the computer, raised his head sullenly and said, "Don't call me that, clown. I'm not interested in your toys, so don't bother me anymore—damn it!"

A group of ugly mechanical monsters between anglerfish and weasel sharks swung their heads and tails towards Lawrence in the air. They looked like they were hunting in the sea, and their protruding metal teeth had an ominous green light.Between the electric light and the flint, a burst of strong light flashed, accompanied by the smell of melting metal, those few mechanical fish plopped to the ground one after another.

A small floating cannon automatically returned behind Lawrence, and Lawrence stared at the pile of scrap iron on the ground with some disgust and said, "What is this?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh." The clown held a mechanical fish in his hand. At this moment, the eyes of the fish turned around and stared at Lawrence rigidly. It opened and closed its mouth and said in a strange tone: "Dr. Laser killed the little fish!"

"Doctor Laser killed the little fish!" Joker repeated, laughing, "but Joker has a lot more—"

"We are the Joker's gift to Batman!" sang the mechanical fish, "Our recipe is bats!"

The clown laughed out loud, and the fish's mouth opened and closed soundlessly, resembling a distorted smiley face.Lawrence watched the weird scene expressionlessly, then turned his gaze back to the screen.

"I'm so sad, Patty," said the Joker. "I thought we were good friends already."

"What are you trying to say?" said Laurence. "Never mind, I don't care—don't you have anything else to do?"

The room suddenly fell silent, and the sound of the clown's footsteps could be heard.Lawrence snorted lightly and continued to type a few lines of code.

"I want to say... why did you cross me to contact the scarecrow, Petty?" The clown came to her side at some point, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "You know... Gotham belongs to me .”

A ruby ​​was pressed against his forehead. If one ignores the precision machinery behind it, it can be said to be a rather weak threat.However, the temperature of the rays emitted by this small ruby ​​​​can rival the temperature of the sun, and its radiation intensity is almost equal to that of a nuclear bomb.The Joker straightened up slowly with a smile on his face, the ruby ​​launcher floating in front of him, still aimed straight at his forehead.

"If you want, I can perform a frontal lobotomy on you right now, Mr. Clown." Lawrence said softly, still looking at the screen, "Maybe it will help your mental illness."

The clown laughed wildly. He covered his stomach with one hand and wiped away his tears with the other: "Why are you so serious, Petty? What did you exchange his poison gas with the Scarecrow?"

He stopped laughing, and whispered maliciously: "Why don't you try my laughing gas? Wouldn't it be better to be happier?"

Lawrence finally looked up and looked directly at the Joker.She smiled, too, though her expression was as cold as frost: "Because I want submissive dogs, not laughing corpses."

"You're more boring than I thought, Petty." The clown giggled, "Those who use fear will suffer from fear themselves!"

"Please go to the laboratory of Lex Group tomorrow, and don't come here again." Lawrence said coldly, "I believe the people there must love to hear your jokes."

On the highway into the city of the metropolis, four nerd scientists from the Department of Physics of the Caltech are sitting in the car. Except for the co-pilot, the other three people have expressions of lovelessness.

"Have you ever thought about a question? The Avengers has Tony Stark, the Justice League has Bruce Wayne's investment, their wealth is enough to support their heroic activities. Why do they still license their image to Marvel and DC into comics?" Howard Worowitz in the backseat of the car broke the one-sided silence after they had endured six hours of someone babbling about why they were in Metropolis. .

"Maybe they're trying to have a more popular image. Like Iron Man. In the comics, he's black-haired, blue-eyed, and 1.8 meters tall. But he himself, heh." Next to him, Raj with an Indian accent Shrugging, Sh Kusapari said, "Dude, I admit Iron Man's caramel eyes are amazing in real life, but if I was a fan of the comics, I wouldn't agree to date him in real life... ...why are you looking at me like that?"

Leonard Hofstadter, who was driving, glanced bewilderedly at the two men in the backseat in the rearview mirror, shrugged and said, "I don't know...maybe superheroes need some positive publicity? You know, Public opinion or something."

Sheldon Cooper, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was pursing his lips unhappily because the "Physical Noun Solitaire" game just proposed was ignored by everyone.But hearing Howard's question, he jumped into the conversation with gusto: "Compared to that, doesn't anyone doubt that Batman is a complete avatar?"

"Why do you think so?" Leonard couldn't help turning his head and staring at him with wide eyes, "We are in Metropolis now! Gotham is across the sea, and I don't think anyone here would think that Batman doesn't exist."

"In fact, there is no evidence to prove that he is a real human being. He has no real background story, and no reliable video data has been circulated." Shelton sat up straight and said solemnly.

"Why don't you suspect that Superman is also a fiction?" Howard said, "No one knows his origin. In fact, comics always have some fictional elements. For example, I think Wonder Woman is much more beautiful than in comics."

"Superheroes exist, of course. Because I just saw Superman fly through the sky..." Raj said with a dreamy expression and tone, "Oh, I love Metropolis. I want to live here."

"Where? Where?" Howard pulled Raj and said, and Sheldon couldn't help but look around frequently.Only Leonard, who was driving, shouted helplessly: "Enough, we will stay in the metropolis for seven days! There will always be a chance to see it!"

"I really want this tech show to end soon." Sheldon muttered as he leaned back in his chair again, "I can't wait to go to the comic book store. Are you sure that the comic book store in Metropolis really has a full set of Zhenglian dolls?" ?"

"You've been asking this question since you even started, Sheldon." Howard said with a toothache on his face, "Yes, yes. I can guarantee that when we go, there will be someone who is even angry." They even started selling."

"Oh! I like piss," Raj said. "Her lower face is beautiful, and she looks like I have a common language in the video. Dawn City is very close to Metropolis. You said I would have Any chance of meeting her?"

"What you mean is that she can't speak like you." Shelton laughed, "but it's clear that she doesn't have a selective speech disorder, but she tries not to speak to hide her identity. If we meet her, you say What can I do if I can’t talk?”

"Guys, stop dreaming—we're at the hotel. Lex Hotel, that's right here." Leonard stopped the car and said, he opened the door, "Take out your luggage, and get ready for the tech show first." Talk, and then think about how to greet a superhero when you see it."

In the coffee shop across the road, Audrey happily took off her sunglasses and took a sip of black tea.There was a line of words quietly lying on the screen of her mobile phone: "Superman is here with me, please pay attention to the movement of the Lex Group for him. ——B"
