The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1416

"This is the first time I've ever seen Gotham from this perspective."

Standing atop a skyscraper, Batwoman Barbara exclaimed in awe, "Ordinary people can't just climb up to such a height to overlook a city."

"How are you feeling?" Robin asked casually while keeping an eye on the microcomputer on his arm.

"Not bad, I didn't expect this city to have such beautiful scenery."

Gotham is a city that exudes a classical atmosphere. Gothic-style buildings can be seen everywhere, along with some high-rise buildings that have been built in recent years, creating a wonderful feeling of old and new intertwined.

"Gotham isn't just about chaos; from this perspective, you can also appreciate the city's peaceful side."

Robin tapped the microcomputer, communicating with other group members in real time to exchange information. After all, this was their first large-scale operation, so they naturally had to be extra careful.

If any abnormal situation occurs, he can grasp the situation immediately and then promptly gather manpower to resolve it.

"Are we just going to stay in one place forever?" Batwoman asked curiously. "Shouldn't patrolling involve wandering around different areas?"

“That’s what superheroes of the last century did,” Robin replied without looking up, casually gesturing with his right arm, which was equipped with a microcomputer.

“It’s the 21st century now. We need to learn to leverage the power of technology. My microcomputer is connected to all the satellites of the Justice League and Batman, as well as all the cameras we’ve installed in Gotham City.”

"Under normal circumstances, except for some special areas, we can control most of Gotham from here."

"This not only saves a lot of trouble, but also conserves energy, and the efficiency of information gathering is several times higher than that of normal patrols."

As Robin switched between the images on the screen, he explained, "It's a pity that the Batcave's system was recently reworked, otherwise I wouldn't have to switch between images so frequently."

"Why?" Barbara asked.

"You know why the Batman system was reworked. Batman was afraid that there might be a backup or remnant of Zul'Aa's consciousness in the system, so he recently reworked the entire system."

"If the system is not rebuilt, we can rely on AI-assisted monitoring. After learning, AI can automatically identify criminal behavior and then notify us to determine whether a crime has actually occurred."

During his free time, Robin began to teach Batgirl how to become a superhero, and the latter absorbed a lot of knowledge like a sponge.

"I always felt that the life of a superhero was completely different from what I used to imagine."

"Batwoman sighed."

"If you're still thinking about that kind of patrol method that involves wandering around, then I'll tell you that it does exist, but it's usually reserved for superhumans like Superman."

As Robin spoke, he rubbed his eyes, which inevitably felt sore from staring at the computer screen for so long.

"Only guys like them who can move at supersonic speeds would patrol using those old-fashioned methods."

"Superhumans have superhuman methods, and ordinary people have ordinary methods. Choosing the right method for yourself is the foundation of being a qualified superhero."

Barbara nodded. The intelligent woman naturally understood Robin's meaning: to put it bluntly, don't do things beyond your capabilities, as that would not only burden you but also potentially ruin everything.

"Gotham is unusually quiet today," Robin remarked. "We have Zul'an to thank for that," Batgirl said, half-jokingly.

What Batwoman said was true, because Zul'an had previously publicly executed supervillains of the Illuminati, which made supervillains all over the world behave themselves considerably.

It's important to understand that the super criminals killed by Zul'an were all top figures in the criminal world, even disregarding their status as leaders of the Illuminati. They were all leaders in their respective fields.

These were all figures who could shake the world. With these big shots all dead, the remaining super criminals naturally wouldn't dare to show their faces or become the first to speak out during this period.

Although the Justice League claims that the guy named Zul'Aa has been brought to justice, who knows if he's really dead? It's best to keep him hidden away for a while longer.

This is the mentality of the vast majority of criminals on Earth today, whether they are ordinary criminals or super criminals. No matter how capable you are, you only have one life, so you still have to be cautious.

This made the Young Justice League's patrol much easier tonight; at least they didn't encounter anything unusual during the first half of the night. It has to be said that Zul'an's scare tactic was really effective.

“There are no anomalies in Gotham City at the moment.” Robin closed his microcomputer. “It’s time to rest now.”

"Can we rest during a mission?" Batgirl asked in shock.

“Of course, after all, we’re just ordinary people, not made of steel,” Robin joked in a Justice League style.

"The right thing to do is to balance work and rest. Of course, that's the idea. At most, we're just temporarily relaxing our brains."

"There's nothing unusual at Superboy's place either, so maybe we can have a quiet night."

"If Yang and the others are right, then as long as nothing unexpected happens tonight, we can have one less powerful opponent."

"At that time, Earth's reputation will spread far and wide, and those guys in the universe who are eyeing Earth with covetous eyes will behave themselves a lot."

Robin's words were full of longing for the future. For some reason, Earth had become a hot commodity. Not to mention the supervillains on Earth, the aliens from outside Earth were also causing them a lot of trouble.

Batwoman sighed as well. She didn't know why Earth seemed to be getting more and more chaotic lately, with all sorts of major events happening one after another, making it impossible to keep up with all of them in the newspapers.

"Drip!"

Just as Robin and Batgirl were feeling sentimental, their communicator suddenly rang.

Batgirl was taken aback at first, and while she was in a daze, Robin had already turned on the communicator and made the call.

"This is Robin and Batgirl. What happened?"

"This is Lightning Boy. I'm in Ireland now, and I've spotted a familiar guy."

Before he could finish speaking, an image was transmitted to their communicators. Robin looked closely and saw that the person was none other than Desad, one of the members of the Apokolips Dark Elite Society who had been marked not long ago.

At this moment, Desad in the picture is carrying something red.
