I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

At the same time, and most importantly...

Is what Bruce said actually true?

Depp wouldn't easily trust Batman, the guy who would give his partners individual countermeasures!

besides......

Depp was the first to take out the Mirror of Introduction and put it on his eyes.

His first step was to confirm that the guy in front of him was Bruce himself.

Bruce Wayne, Batman

Main abilities: Exceptional intelligence, top-notch fighting skills, and immense wealth.

Affection level: Best friend.

"Sigh~"

This guy really is Bruce. So the next step is to confirm whether what he said is true or not!

“I’m sorry, Bruce, I can’t believe anything you’re saying,” Depp said. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I can’t easily believe that my former teammates would betray me so easily.”

Upon hearing this, Bruce picked up a handkerchief from the table and wiped his mouth. Then he took a cell phone out of his pocket and tossed it to Depp.

"If you don't believe me, see for yourself," Bruce said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Depp picked up his phone.

The phone didn't have a password lock, so Depp quickly unlocked the screen and opened the photo album.

The four videos are arranged in the album.

Depp clicked on the first video, which showed Joseph Joseph dressed as a clown, wantonly toying with the people he had coerced in a circus.

He tied those people up and hung them in mid-air, then blindfolded them with a red cloth, and held several playing cards, repeatedly throwing them at the ropes binding them.

The clown's playing cards were incredibly sharp; one by one, the ropes were cut, and the people fell to the ground, their fates unknown.

Depp watched the Joker video with a serious expression, then opened the next three in turn.

In the second video, Oswald appears overweight and is wearing a black suit.

Holding the multi-functional cane he designed himself, he walked forward.

In the video, Oswald's nose appears longer and sharper than before.

Not far in front of Oswald, a man in a suit was kneeling on the ground, bound hand and foot, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Depp recognized the guy; he seemed to be the head of some small gang in Gotham City.

Oswald approached the small-time gang leader step by step and said, "You shouldn't be going against me. I am the King of Gotham, the Penguin! So, no one can take my business."

"I...I will never again..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Oswald raised his cane and slammed it hard into the man's temple.

Then, the cane struck the head of the small gang leader again and again.

Soon, the red and white mixture of liquid was spilled all over the ground.

Oswald, disgusted, took off his blood-stained suit, shook the blood off his cane, turned around, and limped into the back seat of his Mercedes.

At the end of the video, Depp saw the license plate number of the Mercedes.

This is the car used by the mayor of Gotham City.

In the third video, Mr. Freeze, holding his decaying wife, roars to the sky. He then uses his newly developed refrigeration equipment to freeze the entire research institute and the researchers who have not yet escaped into ice sculptures.

Then, Mr. Freeze walked out of the research lab step by step, exuding a dangerous and chilling aura.

In the last video, Harley Quinn is wearing her signature sexy crop top, with her red and blue twin ponytails fluttering in the wind.

She followed the clown and smashed all the surrounding shops to pieces!

Furthermore, she also broke the legs of a colleague who had bullied her in the hospital.

In the end, Harley followed the Joker, laughing maniacally as they left.

In addition, there are some photos in the album.

Most of the videos are of Little Dick dating various girls.

Depp counted a few and found that there were about sixty different girls in the photos, including twenty-seven white girls, twenty-one Asian girls, and two little black girls.

While eating, Dick suddenly felt a chill and looked up to see Depp looking at him sideways.

Seeing this, Little Dick immediately lowered his head and continued eating without saying a word.

"How do you feel now?" Bruce asked. "Those guys have really fallen from grace again."

Depp shoved the phone at Bruce, but still couldn't agree with what he was saying.

"It's just a video. With your skills, you could easily create these videos yourself. It doesn't prove anything."

"hehe."

Bruce chuckled and said, "I never expected you to have such a childish side. Depp, accept reality."

As he spoke, Bruce looked toward the floor-to-ceiling windows next to the restaurant.

As the sun sets, half of it has already disappeared below the horizon, using its last rays to illuminate the city shrouded in darkness.

A dim yellow light shone throughout the streets and alleys of Gotham, and people knew that darkness was about to descend along with evil.

Suddenly, Depp noticed that Bruce, who was looking out the window, had narrowed his eyes, as if something had caught his attention.

Depp looked over, and his eyesight was much better than Bruce's.

Two black dots could be seen rapidly approaching each other in the distant sky.

One of them had pale skin, wild and unruly long green hair, and a blood-red mouth that laughed maniacally, as if he wanted to tear his head in two.

A wild girl with pigtails, wearing a purple suit and a green shirt, holding a paraglider in one hand and her female companion with the other arm around her.

The girl has long white hair, with two pigtails, one red and one blue.

Over a white strapless top, she wore a loose baseball jacket, revealing her alluring and powerful waistline, attracting the greedy gazes of every man.

The short denim shorts perfectly showcased her long legs.

It's Joseph... no, the Joker and Harley Quinn!

Harley Quinn looked up at the Joker with eyes full of adoration, laughing maniacally along with him.

At the same time, the rocket launchers in their hands were also aimed at Wayne Manor and the restaurant where Bruce and Depp were.

Upon seeing this, Depp frowned slightly: "Have Joseph and Halle really fallen into darkness again?"

Thinking of this, Depp's heart sank.

He tried to save Joseph several times. Although he was a step too late the first time, Joseph did indeed stop committing crimes and become an anti-hero under his influence.

Depp once thought he had succeeded, but now...

Depp frowned, his mind racing with thoughts.

Is it really impossible to change any of this?

Does the world's will necessitate that Oswald become the Penguin?

The world's will dictates that Mr. Freeze's wife must eventually die?

Does the world's will require Joseph to become the Joker completely?

Even a half-clown like before wouldn't work?

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside Depp, and he suddenly felt an overwhelming and relentless sense of helplessness.

No matter how hard I try, can't I change their fate?

The timelines will eventually come to an end, and they will always become the predetermined characters in the comic.

So.....

Depp turned his head, looked at Selena, looked at Bruce, and thought of those he had once saved and changed.

Will Harvey Dent become a two-faced person who likes to decide fate with a coin toss in the future?

Will Wellen Jones become the only king-killer crocodile in Gotham's sewers in the future?

Will Lex Luthor remain Clark's lifelong rival in the future?

Depp's breathing became heavy, and the confidence he had just gained from his increased strength was completely destroyed in that instant.

Even if I become so powerful, can I still not save the people I care about?

Depp stood there, knife and fork in hand, frozen in place.

Bruce, unaware of Depp's thoughts, remained focused on looking out the window.

As the Joker and Harley Quinn drew closer to Wayne Manor, their faces gradually became clearer in Bruce's eyes.

At the same time, the Joker said to Harley Quinn, "Ready, baby?"

Harley, her eyes glazed with intoxication, looked at the Joker, licked his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Of course, darling."

Joker: "So..."

Harley Quinn: "Fire!"

Both men pulled the triggers simultaneously, and the rockets were launched instantly!

As two rockets hurtled towards his manor, trailing plumes of fire, Bruce immediately stood up and shouted, "Alfred, prepare for battle!"

On the other side, Alfred was already ready. He held a sniper rifle in each hand, tossed one to Bruce, and then skillfully lay down on the ground, assuming a sniping stance.

Bruce took the sniper rifle and immediately assumed a sniping stance.

At the same time, Selena looked up for a moment, then looked down again and continued eating.

He then pressed Little Dick, who was trying to get up, back down.

Two rockets were nothing to her and Depp, not to mention that Bruce and Alfred were there to protect them.

Bang!

Bang!
