American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 299 The Justice League's First Dinner

What should people do after a major war?

It was like a tiring journey, or perhaps the aftermath of a fierce battle.

Beer, beverages, and food.

These are all "dopamine" substances that can soothe people's pain and are essential for people!

In Gotham City, at Batman's Wayne Manor.

Having Bruce host the party might not be the best, but it's definitely super classy.

The world's top orchestras played for the guests in the ballroom. Although they were used to big events, the performers sat upright, and the reason was simple.

There weren't many people attending this banquet, but each one of them was a household name in the world.

Known as the gatekeeper of the Justice League, Kid Flash has just been taken down from the dark chandelier.

Diana, dressed in a black dance gown, dances with Gino on the dance floor.

Zatanna, dressed in a pure white dress, sat in the corner, her small hands tightly gripping a wine glass, gritting her teeth.

Bruce Wayne, sitting next to Clark, seemed to be discussing something, and one could vaguely hear things like "Your mother's name is also Martha."

And then there's Constantine, who's only focused on chugging all the drinks on the table into his mouth.

Kendra the Hawkgirl, Shazam, and everyone else were enjoying the food and drinks.

Would you like some champagne?

A dark-haired girl in a waitress's dress walked toward Bruce with a glass of champagne in her hand.

"Thanks."

After a long and drawn-out battle, Bruce smiled and took a glass from the tray, downing it in one gulp.

Watching the servant leave, Bruce thought to himself that the servant Alfred had chosen was indeed beautiful and elegant.

"What are you talking about?"

After finishing his dance and sensing the strange atmosphere, Gino abandoned Diana, who was arguing with Zatanna, and went to his friend's side.

"Just some mixed feelings," Bruce said, resting his chin on his hands. "A Batman who loses his moral compass can become a disaster for the world."

Seeing Bruce's reaction, Gino chuckled inwardly: "Batman might already be planning what to do after he goes out of control and falls into depravity."

That's great. Batman in his own universe is the most resilient and powerful one.

The three chatted for a while, but after the great battle, none of them wanted to talk about the damn fight anymore.

"Um?"

Gently setting down his wine glass, Gino noticed an unusual sound and stared strangely at the wall behind Bruce. "Bruce, is there a secret passage in your walls?"

Through the stone wall, he could see a woman climbing down the not-so-wide pipes towards the castle.

"Yes?" Bruce asked in a strange tone. He knew Gino could see through things, but he didn't understand why Gino was looking at his castle.

"That's interesting."

Gino smiled and walked toward the wall, then, under Bruce's gaze, suddenly threw a punch.

"Splash!"

The stones, made of brick walls, shattered with a crack, and then, as if suddenly grabbing something, Gino gently pulled on it.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Grabbing by the collar, she was pulled off the wall like a kitten being carried by its mother.

Gino gently released his grip, and a woman fell to the ground.

This is undoubtedly a woman with a good figure and appearance, but the most important thing is the pearl necklace that slipped out of her pocket when she fell.

"A thief?" Billy blurted out, staring at the older woman with long, straight black hair.

This woman was undoubtedly very beautiful, but as a thief, her character was despicable.

"Her." Bruce frowned slightly. Wasn't this the very beautiful female attendant he had just seen?

The ability to sneak into a banquet unnoticed requires remarkable composure and is truly admirable.

"How did you manage to bypass all the traps Bruce set up?"

Unlike the thoughtful Bruce, Gino just wanted to see Bruce make a fool of himself.

Batman, a man of great stature, had his own things stolen from his hometown.

Well, he decided to have the singer include this in the Justice League joke collection.

Bruce clearly realized the problem, and he coldly questioned, "How did you bypass those anti-theft weapons?"

As a paranoid individual, Batman also set up numerous traps and security measures at his own estate.

"Anti-theft weapons? You mean those fancy, high-tech gadgets?"

Hearing her words, Clark couldn't help but laugh, but it quickly drew...

"But all it takes is a basin of cold water to ruin them."

The girl proudly raised her chin, then slowly lowered her head, adopting a pitiful posture: "Won't the heroes of the Justice League bully a defenseless girl like me?"

It must be said, this girl was very good at feigning weakness. She clutched her chest and said:

"I'm just poor, and I want to take some things back to give my father, who is addicted to drugs, and my brother, who can't afford to eat, some money."

Listening to the girl's words, Bruce covered his forehead. Although Batman never trusted anyone, this girl gave him a different feeling.

But Gino, gripping his chin, spoke with great interest:

"But my intelligence officer told me your name is Selena Kyle, that you were born in an orphanage, and that you bought that orphanage two years ago."

Upon hearing Gino's words, Selena's smug smile instantly froze.

"Okay, I really can't lie to you freaks."

When she realized that her attempt to play the victim had been exposed, Selena began to give up on herself.

She had planned it all out before coming this morning; she knew the Justice League members were all good people—or rather, Batman and Superman never killed anyone.

Moreover, he was only stealing and there was no danger to his life.

"So why did you steal a string of jewels?"

Bruce said with a somber expression, "This piece of jewelry is the least noticeable item in the safe, and it's not particularly valuable."

"Why? That's a strange question. It's because it's beautiful."

Selena raised her head and said something that reminded Bruce of what his mother had said to his father years ago.

"What should we do with her? Call the police?"

Clark also shared his opinion.

Bruce shook his head, stood up, took the necklace from the woman's pocket, and sighed:

No, let her go.

This unusual move naturally left Clark and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

When did Batman become so kind?

Back in Smallville.

"So why didn't Bruce call the police?"

Clark and Gino walked down the street, their faces full of confusion.

"Who knows? I think Bruce is quite interested in that girl." Gino smiled, knowing full well the girl's other identity: Catwoman.

She is also a character who is entangled with Batman throughout his life, and in some ways she can be regarded as Batman's true love.

"So what are your plans next?" Clark asked his friend.

"Me?" Gino rubbed his neck and smiled. "I plan to travel to other worlds."

"It's time to give myself a break."
