American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 360 Harley's World View
Not long after, in the Bat Bar.

A group of gangsters who were watching TV in the bar gathered around the TV and chatted with Downton, who was having fun with the Silver Winged Star, and were amazed.

"Fuck it, my boss's boss is so fierce!"

"Yeah, the Revenant Boss is awesome, he's a giant dragon!"

"If you ask me, that thing cannot be developed. How can someone who studies dinosaurs develop a jet?"

"Brother, I've played Monster Hunter before, this thing is a Celestial Dragon, for sure!"

"Yeah, maybe the Ghost Boss is a guy from another world who invaded our universe?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter. Who cares who he is? As long as the Ghost Boss pays us, we will work for him!"

"My salary has increased by 30%, and my bonus has doubled. My wife has stopped talking to me loudly recently. I love Boss Ghost!"

"My wife is the same, damn, since everyone's wives are all the same, why not try changing them when you have time?"

"It's your turn to be paralyzed. It's your turn to be paralyzed!"

"Fuck, you don't understand romance!"

Just when a group of gang members were chatting drunkenly, suddenly, one of them received a call from Bruce.

The moment he saw the number clearly, he quickly picked up the beer bottle and smashed it against the wall.

boom!
Wow!

The guy said this while roaring with a rough noise.

"Stop talking, Bat Boss is calling!"

"What? The boss finally called!"

"Tsk, what's the use? Which street are we going to sweep this time?"

"We are a gang, we want to work and collect protection money!"

"Smash, loot and burn!"

"That's a fucking job for black gangs, and we don't have the basic conditions for zero-dollar purchases!"

"Stop it, I'm on the phone, asshole!"

Seeing the leader pick up the phone, everyone wanted to say something but finally shut up.

After all, they still respect Bat Boss very much.

On the one hand, Bat Boss is indeed a good fighter, and his status within the Ghost Party is also very high. His authority and position are almost equal to or even exceed that of Ozwald, the Ghost Party's chief strategist who is rumored by the outside world.

On the other hand, Bat Boss is also quite capable in fighting.

Boss Victor himself admitted that he was not as good as Boss Bat, not to mention Oswald.

Even the newest rising member of the gang, Deadshot, who drives Revenant's luxury car around the city with his daughter all day, admits that Batman is at least a 50-50 match with him.

These two aspects alone are enough to make them respect Bat Boss.

What's more, in the Battle of Washington, our own Bat Boss was flying around in a mecha!
Besides these, the most important thing is...

The identity of Bat Boss!
In America, everyone despises capital, but everyone also has to bow to capital.

Who doesn’t know now that Batman is actually Bruce Wayne of Wayne Group?

He is the heir of the Wayne family, and a rebellious man to the core of the gang members. He does not go to the stock market to suck blood and pick up girls, but comes to the gang and fights for a place in the world with his fists. He is Bruce Wayne, the man most respected by the gang.

Isn't it just sweeping the streets? As long as Bat Boss pays us, as long as Bat Boss can make us more respectable on the street.

Then just sweep it!
The members of the Bat Gang have now come to terms with it.

Who told them to earn the most?

In this atmosphere, the leading thug took Bruce's call.

After a moment, the call ended and a large group of gang members immediately looked towards him.

"Hey, man, where are you going to clean up this time? Have you almost cleaned up the ruins of the Skyrail in the city?"

"Yeah, after we cleared our own territory, we also cleared half of the South District. Where are we now? Isn't it that godforsaken place called Arkham?"

Seeing that the brothers around him were not in high spirits, the younger brother who answered the phone took a deep breath, then clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the bar.

"Guys, Bat Boss has sent a new order. This time it's not about sweeping the streets or clearing the ruins, but a wanted order for the real gangsters!

Come on, Bat Boss has sent me the target photo, I will pass it to you right away!

Damn it, it’s been a long time since we received a wanted warrant. Everyone, take a good look at the people in the photos, and then search the entire city, with a focus on the Arkham area!

This is the first time that Bat Boss has assigned us a dirty job, we must do it well!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guy who answered the phone cheered and raised his beer.

Beside him, a bunch of younger brothers were stunned for a moment, and then immediately started to make noise like crazy.

"I love Bat-Boss!"

"Finally I'm doing some dirty work!"

"I'm going to dig Arkham up deep!"

"Fuck that son of a bitch! Who dares to say that our Bat Gang is the cleaners of Gotham?"

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Fuck it!!!"

All of a sudden, the Bat Gang's brothers rushed out in a hurry.

At the same time, gangs all over Gotham also received Bruce's notice.

Now, hundreds of thousands of gang members across Gotham have all been mobilized, and while the total mobilization of the gangs is underway, chicken coops, leaf plantations, weapons dealers, cleaners and killers across Gotham are also mobilized.

Almost one-third of the people in the city knew the Mad Hatter's appearance and personal information in a short period of time.

As the Mad Hatter's message spread throughout the city...

After Bruce's Batmobile arrogantly overtook a police car, it stopped handsomely at the gate of Arkham Asylum.

The next moment, Bruce, wearing the traditional first-generation Batman suit, rushed out of the car and rushed straight into the Arkham Asylum where screams were heard.

In the police car that he overtook, Gordon, who would take office as the new police chief in three to five days, stared blankly at the Batmobile in the distance.

Looking at the black special vehicle that was definitely worth tens of millions, Gordon couldn't help swallowing, then shook his head weakly.

As expected of the Wayne family, both being a gangster and a vigilante can show their traditional money-filled colors.

And that car, it's just fucking outrageous!
Moreover, he was a gangster, but he arrived at the scene faster than himself!
Who does he think he is? And what do the Revenant and those high-handed bastards at Downton think they are?

Do they really think they are the patron saints of Gotham?
Thinking of this, Gordon clenched his teeth, because he saw Batman rushing into the mental hospital and starting to subdue those crazy mental patients.

Gordon lowered his head helplessly as he watched Batman punch a little Karami.

Guardian angel?

They really are!
Even if I don't protect...

At least they are gods!

The Battle of Washington has already proved this!
Gordon couldn't stand up anymore after thinking about it. Now that most of the veteran Gotham councillors were killed by Downton, the seats in Gotham City Hall and the City Council were taken over by the Wayne family and the Luthor family who had invaded Gotham from Metropolis.

They have money and connections, and have connections in the state and even in the White House.

Although the police officers under his command no longer receive the black money from the gangs, their salaries have still increased.

Nowadays, which policeman doesn’t listen to the Ghost Party and the two major families?

I, the sheriff, am just a decoration!

Thinking of this, Gordon let out a depressed sigh and then spoke to his men.

"Hurry up, the bats are rushing in!
We are even slower than the gangsters, damn it, hurry up!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gordon got out of the car with a pistol in hand.

Behind him, police officers and special police in other cars also rushed down.

As the police began to surround Arkham Hospital, inside the hospital.

After knocking down four or five patients, Bruce opened their eyes and took a look, then took a breath in shock.

"What a horrible hypnosis! Even after being knocked unconscious, I couldn't get them out of my control!"

After muttering this, Bruce stood up and looked grimly at the dozen or so patients and doctors who continued to rush towards him.

Looking at those mindless people, their crazy postures like zombies, the pain in Bruce's heart was simply beyond words.

It's all my fault. If I had found out about the Mad Hatter sooner...

If I could collect enough evidence in a more timely manner.

In other words, if he could have jumped out of the step of collecting evidence more quickly and intervened in Arkham Hospital using illegal means as soon as he noticed something strange.

Then at least those who died today won’t die!

With a heart full of guilt, Bruce rushed into the wolves like a tiger, killing his way into the crowd.

After he left nearly twenty unconscious guys on the ground, Gordon, wearing a bulletproof vest, arrived with the special police.

Seeing the police, Bruce quickly said to Gordon.

“The man behind this is the Mad Hatter, you should have the file on him being sent to Arkham Asylum.

A few days ago, Director Hugo of the Lunatic Asylum was...
Damn it, during that time, the Mad Hatter used hypnosis to control the people in the hospital and extended this control to the entire Arkham Asylum.

As for the current perpetrator, I suspect she is also one of the victims. You should follow me quickly and control the living victims on the ground.

I'll go and control the attacker first!"

After he finished speaking, Bruce didn't say much to Gordon and the police. He simply pushed open the corridor door and rushed towards the farther corridor.

Arkham Asylum is still just a mental hospital today and has not become the super criminal detention center it will become in the future.

So, although the chaos caused by the Mad Hatter was big, it did not cause too much trouble to Bruce.

Now these controlled people don’t even have guns, and the most dangerous one is the crazy Harley!

Thinking of this, Bruce went straight to the floor where Harley was killing people.

When he pushed open another door of the corridor, the hell-like scene in the surveillance video immediately appeared in front of him.

There were only about thirty controlled lunatics in this corridor, but most of them had been smashed to death by Harry with an iron pipe.

Seeing Bruce, Harley, who was pulling the iron pipe out of the corpse's brain, raised her head and then gave Bruce an innocent and bright smile.

“Whoa, let me see what this is, a new toy.

There are so many moving toys today. It's really fun. But what kind of puppet are you? You are pitch black. Are you a black cat?"

"Muppet?"

After hearing what Harley said, Bruce understood that the world in Harley's eyes was no longer the world of ordinary people!

It seems that Harley has been hypnotized by the Mad Hatter for some time.

Damn it, I actually believed the nonsense of that bastard Tang.

Didn't he say Harley was capable of settling Arkham Asylum?

Is this how it was settled?
After being hypnotized, he killed the entire fucking Arkham Asylum, and suddenly there were no more mental illnesses in Gotham?
Fake!

This is so clean!
And this is really Downton style!
How on earth could I have believed Tang in the first place?

That's a complete bastard!

While criticizing himself madly in his mind, Bruce spoke tentatively to Harley.

"Harley Quinzel, I'm not a doll, I'm Batman!"

"Oh, little cutie bat, even though I don't like bats, you are actually furry too, haha!
How are you going to kill me? Are you going to bite me with your fangs?

That won’t do. I am Alice and this is my wonderland. Alice cannot have scars on her body!

Especially the teeth marks!"

Just as Harley said this, the two lunatics beside her rushed over to her and started biting her.

Seeing this, Harley swung the iron pipe and smashed it at the two men's heads, but before the iron pipe touched their heads, Bruce took out two buttons from his waist and threw them at Harley.

The next moment, the button suddenly split into nano-electric shock devices, directly shocking Harley and all the crazy people in the corridor to the ground.

The electric current even traveled along the blood on the ground to the soles of Bruce's feet, but Bruce had already sprayed insulating material on the armor when he installed the current device on the bat armor.

What Batman fears is sudden traps, and what would cause him trouble if there are more than dozens of them and he would be overwhelmed.

But what if there is only one Harley Quinzel who is in the open and has no extra conspiracy, and a group of zombies whose fighting ability is actually very average and who are just in a more scary state.

Don't even think about causing trouble for Batman.

Especially after integrating the military and technological industries of the Wayne Group and the Luthor Group, Bruce's equipment has changed three times a day and has long been upgraded to the Tony Stark level.

Even without the iron armor, it would be too easy to deal with these little Karami.

Seeing that everyone in the corridor was electrocuted, Bruce quickly stepped forward, grabbed Harley, and took out a high-strength buckle from his belt.

After locking Harley's hands and feet, Gordon was following up with the special police, so Bruce said to Gordon.

"I have confirmed that Dean Harley Quinzel is also controlled by the Mad Hatter. Her crime is mainly dereliction of duty. At least from now on, killing may not be her original intention.

I'll leave her to you guys, I'll continue to deal with the others who are still alive!

The disaster of Arkham Asylum has already happened, and this place is no longer the biggest problem. Compared with cleaning this place up, catching that bastard Mad Hatter is the most important thing!"

After saying that, Bruce took out a few nano-stunners sprayed with bats and continued to rush to other corridors and rooms.

Although Harley created a large amount of blood and gore, due to limited time, the number of people she actually killed should be less than a hundred. This also proves that there are still a considerable number of lunatics left in the hospital.

And just as Bruce led the police to clean out Arkham Asylum.

In Arkham District, near the ruins of a section of Skyrail that has not yet been cleaned up.

The Mad Hatter had already taken off his psychopathic costume and put on an elegant gentleman's suit.

In his breast pocket he also kept his most trusted pocket watch in a sling.
