I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

The sniper bullet pierced the glass and headed straight for the two rockets, hitting them both almost simultaneously.

boom!

Two bursts of fire, accompanied by a massive explosion, echoed throughout Wayne Manor. The Joker and Harley Quinn, without hesitation, passed through the flames and arrived above Wayne Castle.

The Joker threw away the paraglider and, with Harley in his arms, headed straight for the restaurant.

He flicked his right wrist repeatedly, sending two playing cards spinning and flying out, which landed directly on the bullet holes that Bruce and Alfred had just made.

Then, a flash of blue light appeared on the playing cards, and it was unclear what special technology the Joker had used.

The bulletproof glass floor in front of the restaurant shattered into countless pieces in an instant.

Just as Alfred and Bruce dodged backward, the Joker and Harley landed precisely where the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling window had been.

"Hello everyone!" the clown said. "What's for lunch today...?"

Depp looked up and, through the Mirror of Information, their information immediately appeared.

At the same time, a grappling hook flew out from below and snagged on the restaurant floor.

Chapter 332 They're all acting masters!

The grappling hook tightened, and a slightly bulky figure arrived at Wayne's dining room, following the Joker and Harley.

"Ok?"

Depp looked at the level of favorability shown to him by the three people in front of him and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

Especially the Joker and Oswald, even after falling into darkness, their affection for each other remained as strong as life and death.

Oswald, who had climbed up, patted his large belly, his long, hooked nose twitching slightly, and said, "It seems tonight's dinner is quite sumptuous, Mr. Bruce."

Bruce raised his sniper rifle, pressed the muzzle against Oswald's massive hooked nose, and said, "Sorry, you're not welcome here."

“Oh, you’re really heartless!” Joseph said.

Harley immediately chimed in, "And utterly wicked!"

Oswald moved the gun barrel away from his nose and said, "That's right! The Wayne Corporation is so rich, yet they're unwilling to give us even the smallest bit of help."

"What despicable capitalists!" Oswald said. "I hate people like you more than anything in my life!"

Upon hearing this, Harley Quinn immediately clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, you bastard, hahahahaha."

Oswald raised an eyebrow at this: "What? You have a problem with that?"

Harley, clutching her firm belly, said, "You're shameless! Gangsters aren't much better than those guys, are they? Hahahaha!"

Alfred listened to these people talking to themselves, then raised his sniper rifle again and aimed it at the three people in front of him.

“I’m not like Master Bruce. If you don’t leave quickly, I don’t mind giving you a little help in my personal capacity,” Alfred added. “I’ll help you get into hell sooner!”

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

The Joker, with his hands behind his back, completely ignored Alfred's words and walked around to Bruce's back.

Suddenly, the clown's eyes sharpened, as if he had discovered something interesting.

Then, like a circus performer, he hopped and skipped to the dining table.

The Joker placed his hand on the corner of the table, then supported his body with his palm, leaped up, and spun around, landing on the table. Opposite him stood Depp, stunned.

"Look who I see!" the Joker said, propping his head up with his elbow. "Whoosh! It's our most, most, most, most respected Mr. Depp!"

As he spoke, the clown took out a small pressure cannon filled with confetti from his pocket.

With a gentle turn, a loud bang rang out, and countless colorful confetti splattered out, slowly scattering across the dining table.

On the other side, upon hearing the Joker's words, Oswald immediately pushed Bruce aside, limped over, and said, "It really is Mr. Depp! I'm sure I'll disappoint you looking like this, won't I?"

Before Depp could speak, Oswald continued to mutter to himself, "But there's nothing we can do, that's just how Gotham is. Who can always be a good guy here?"

He looked at Bruce and said, "Is that so? Bruce... Your Excellency?"

Bruce looked at the two men, raised his sniper rifle again, and aimed it at Oswald's intact right leg.

"My patience is limited. If you don't get out of here within ten seconds, then you're not leaving at all."

As soon as Bruce finished speaking, snowflakes and frost began to appear from the center of the restaurant's entrance.

Soon, the entire restaurant entrance was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Then, as the person at the door kicked it out, the entire door shattered into a pile of frozen wooden blocks.

“This solid wood door is definitely harder to dismantle than a synthetic one.” Mr. Freeze stepped out from behind the door and said expressionlessly, “I’m sorry I’m late.”

Without hesitation, he raised the freeze ray gun in his hand.

He pulled the trigger, and the blue freezing ray struck Bruce's sniper rifle with perfect accuracy.

The sniper rifle in his hand instantly became ice-cold, and Bruce immediately threw it away.

In mid-air, the entire sniper rifle turned completely ice blue before it hit the ground.

As the sniper rifle hit the ground, the entire weapon shattered instantly into countless chilling fragments.

Seeing this, Alfred pulled the trigger without hesitation.

But Mr. Freeze seemed to have anticipated this, firing a freezing ray in advance that intercepted and froze the bullet in mid-air.

Snap...

The bullet fell to the ground and shattered into ice shards.

Furthermore, the freezing rays, still powerful, froze Alfred's sniper rifle into ice shards.

Selena raised her head, a flash of icy blue light in her eyes.

Just as she was about to make a move, she heard Depp using his life force to send a message.

"Don't worry about Selena, we can just eat and watch these guys put on a show."

"Performance? What does that mean?" Selena asked, puzzled.

Depp stuffed a perfectly cube-shaped piece of roast beef into his mouth, chewing as he continued to relay messages to Selena.

"In short, we don't need to talk or do anything, we can just eat in peace."

“You men are so strange,” Selena complained, but she was also relieved. “I must say, Alfred’s roast meat and mushroom soup were absolutely fantastic.”

With their weapons frozen and shattered, Bruce and Alfred, after struggling for a while, were helplessly captured and tied up in a corner of the restaurant, facing the siege of the Joker, Harley Quinn, Oswald, and Mr. Freeze.

Afterwards, the group sat down opposite Depp and began eating the food on the table without any hesitation.

“I must say, Alfred’s cooking is really delicious,” Oswald muttered. “I just don’t know which idiot threw so many scraps of paper into the food. They must be out of their mind.”

Harley Quinn, who was standing nearby, shoved the half-eaten chicken leg into Oswald's mouth and said in an unfriendly tone, "What, you have a problem with that?"

Seeing this, Oswald broke out in a cold sweat, then took a bite of the remaining meat on the chicken leg and said, "No...of course not!"

"Hmph! Cowardly fat penguin!"

Harley threw away the chicken leg in her hand, turned her head, and continued to look at the Joker with adoring eyes.

Although they had kidnapped Bruce and Alfred, they were also constantly bickering with each other.

But in any case, they did not dare to show any disrespect to Depp.

As they ate, one after another they looked at Depp across from them.

That look seemed to say: Are you just going to keep eating like this? Say something, at least!

Depp completely ignored them, simply eating the food Alfred had prepared and chatting casually with Selena.

"Selena, where do you think our estate should be built?"

"Of course, it should be a place far from the city, nestled against the mountains and by the water, where birds sing and flowers bloom."

"I think so too. We'll have to hire the best designers in all of Gotham to design the house and the surrounding landscaping."

"That's wonderful, darling!"

Overcome with emotion, Selena stood up, bypassed Dick, and kissed Depp passionately on the cheek.

clown:.....

Harley Quinn: .....

Oswald: .....

Mr. Freeze: *smack smack smack* Mmm, this is delicious. I'll have to take some back with me later.

Harley Quinn was the first to lose her composure. She jumped onto the dining table, squatted down in front of Depp, and said with her chest bowed, "I'm telling you, don't you have anything to say?"

Depp looked up, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the grease from the corner of his mouth, sighed and said, "You guys continue, I'm not full yet."

As he spoke, Depp pulled out a pistol, swung it at Bruce sitting in the corner, and pulled the trigger.

The bullet, propelled by a burst of fire, left a black hole at Bruce's feet.

"Depp! Are you crazy?"

Bruce jumped up in fright and shouted angrily.

Depp tossed the pistol to Harley Quinn and said, "I'm not a very good shot, so I'll teach you how to use this. I'm sure you can hit that brat Bruce with one shot."

"What?" Harley Quinn caught the pistol Depp threw to her in a panic, not reacting for a moment: "You want me to kill Bruce?"

"What, you don't want to?" Depp asked with a smile.

"Hey~"
