I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Meanwhile, Clark was at the villa that Depp and Selena had previously owned.

Here lies the Superman suit that Clark obtained from the Kryptonian spaceship.

After returning that day, Clark asked Depp why there happened to be his family's battle suit on that spaceship from thousands of years ago.

Depp replied, "Of course, there won't be any El family suits on the spaceship, but there will be technology to automatically manufacture them, similar to... 3D printing on Earth, but Krypton's technology is far more advanced than 3D printing."

Clark put on his battle suit and donned the red cloak.

Clark absolutely loves the slightly reflective red and blue material.

He stood in front of the mirror, carefully admiring his handsome appearance.

But what she was thinking about was Lana and Chloe.

This is Clark now, an eighteen-year-old teenager with superhuman strength.

Clark is unaware that he will meet the love of his life in the Metropolis.

By then, both Lana Blue and Chloe will pale in comparison in her eyes.

After admiring himself for a while, Clark finally opened the window, looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he leaped up and began his short flight.

And so, Clark flew every five minutes, arriving in Gotham City on the second flight and at the top of Wayne Tower on the third.

Although Clark isn't flying very fast right now, he still prefers to use his flying ability more often than running.

After all, this is a very cool thing for him.

At this moment, Clark was the only one on the Wayne Tower.

He stood atop the tower, his red cloak billowing in the evening breeze.

Clark looked down at Gotham, and for some reason, facing this megacity that was still brightly lit and filled with skyscrapers even in the dead of night, he always felt that the city gave him an incredibly dull and gloomy feeling.

Every time Clark steps into Gotham, a negative emotion inexplicably arises in his heart.

Of course, these emotions were not enough to change Clark's kind nature; they only made him slightly upset.

Clark turned around and glanced at the time displayed on the Wayne Tower clock tower behind him.

At 10:15, there were still 15 minutes until the rally was scheduled to begin.

The other Justice League members arrived at the top of the tower one after another. James Gordon, as always, came with Harvey Dent. These two ordinary people, who held important positions in government agencies, always came with great care.

Following them were Wellen Jones, Ivy, and Mr. Freeze Victor.

Immediately afterwards, Oswald wiped the sweat from his brow and went up to the rooftop, where he kept complaining about why the old clock tower couldn't be disguised as an elevator.

Then came the Joker and Harley Quinn.

Arthur Curry, who had not yet become the King of the Sea, followed closely behind. He was dressed in casual clothes, his muscles were bulging, and his sideburns were already quite thick.

This was Arthur Curry's first opportunity to join the Justice League; prior to this, he had met Batman through Johnny Depp's introduction.

Although Arthur Curry initially had no liking for the man hidden in black, he eventually chose to join him under the influence of money and a sense of righteousness.

Johnny Depp and Batman are the only two people Arthur Curry knows in the Justice League, and neither of them has arrived yet, so he just leans against the wall, not saying a word.

At 10:29, Batman appeared as promised.

This time, he was still squatting on top of Wayne Tower, his feet gripping the lightning rod, his eyes devoid of emotion, though his stubble was neatly shaved.

The black cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, echoing Clark's movements.

"The couple still haven't arrived," Batman said.

The clown shrugged and said, "You know they always like to show up at the last second."

As soon as he finished speaking, Depp and Selena slowly descended from the sky.

“You know, little bat,” Selena teased, “the last one to appear is usually the main character.”

Upon hearing this, Batman rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, you two are the main characters, I think we can begin today's meeting."

Seeing Batman and Depp arrive almost simultaneously, Arthur Curry slowly walked over, but his face still wore an expression that said "keep away."

She only shows an incredibly kind smile when she's with Depp.

“Mr. Depp, it’s great to see you all again,” Arthur Curry said.

Arthur was naturally extremely respectful to the benefactor who had saved his mother.

Depp nodded and said, "Long time no see. How are you and your family doing?"

Arthur nodded and said, "It's not bad, and my mother sometimes takes me to Atlantis to see my incredibly childish little brother."

"That's really great. Remember to bring me some of the best seafood next time," Depp joked.

Arthur took it seriously and immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll have my mother send Mr. Depp the best fish and shrimp from the sea."

Clark, on the other hand, was much more shy, but he was still teased by Harley Quinn.

"Wow, Clark's outfit is really stylish. No wonder he's like me, someone who loves red and blue combinations! By the way, where did you get this outfit custom-made?"

Upon hearing this, Clark blushed and said, "Uh... this... this isn't custom-made, no, this seems to be custom-made again..."

Seeing Clark's embarrassed expression, Depp immediately came to his rescue, saying, "This is his family's standard combat uniform. The 'S' symbol on Clark's chest is actually his family crest."

"Alright everyone, enough chit-chat, let's get down to business," Batman said, oblivious to the unpleasantness of the situation. "The reason I've called you all here is because our planet is about to face a real crisis."

"A crisis for Earth?" Arthur Curry said. "Is it you lot who are dumping some toxic substances into the ocean again? Like nuclear waste? Like all sorts of industrial garbage!"

Arthur's habitual sarcasm left Batman in an awkward position.

Depp continued, "This is even more serious than that. Clark's Kryptonian kin are about to arrive on Earth in the future. If we don't come up with a solution soon, our planet could very well become a Kryptonian colony."

"Krypton? What's that?" Arthur asked, puzzled.

Depp briefly introduced Clark's background and the upcoming Zod, then said, "Therefore, we need to unite all the forces of the sea and land to resist Zod and his army."

After hearing everything, Clark exclaimed in surprise, "What? General Zod is the man in the photo my father showed me? He's coming to invade Earth?"

“Because Krypton was destroyed, he needs the Codex on you and Earth to carry out the overall reconstruction of Krypton,” Depp explained. “And we must protect our home from being taken away.”

Depp patted Clark on the shoulder and said, "I know it's very hard for you to accept fighting your own kind, but we have no other choice at this moment."

Clark remained silent, standing there with his head down. Finally, he slowly raised his head, looked into Depp's eyes, and said, "So, what should I do?"

Depp pointed to all the Justice League members around him and said, "What you need to do is learn as much as possible from their training before Zod arrives."

Depp then began assigning various tutors to Clark.

First, Depp pointed to Batman, who has a natural chemistry with Clark Kent, and said, "Batman will teach you the world's best fighting skills and show you just how despicable your enemies can be."

Depp then pointed to the Joker and Harley Quinn: "The Joker and Harley will show you how crazy and unpredictable your enemies can be, and will also help you train your mind."

Depp pointed to Oswald and said, "Penguin, although Oswald is also Batman's student, he has a cunning that Batman doesn't possess, as well as how to attack your enemies unexpectedly. In addition, he will teach you some workplace skills that will make your future work in Metropolis much easier."

Depp continued, pointing to the others: "Ivy will teach you about plants, Victor will show you how to use your Ice Breath more versatilely, and Arthur will teach you the techniques for using long weapons."

Finally, Depp said, "As for Selena and me, we will teach you how to conceal your presence. Stealth is quite useful both in and out of combat."

Listening to Depp's words, Batman said, "I mean, isn't it a bit too much to give this kid so much in just one week?"

Bruce's concerns are perfectly normal. Putting everything else aside, his fighting skills are the result of ten years of continuous apprenticeship and constant practice, coupled with his monstrous talent, which led to his current achievements.

But Clark had to learn so much in just one week.

Bruce estimated that Clark would only have two days at most to learn his own fighting style.

Frankly, Bruce thought it was impossible; he couldn't even learn the basics in two days!

However, Depp and Clark exchanged a glance and then shook their heads simultaneously, saying, "We think a week is far too much time."

Depp: "I am confident that Clark will be able to learn all of that knowledge."

Clark: "I am confident that with your careful guidance, I will learn all of this."

Seeing this, Bruce could only say helplessly, "Fine, since you insist, what can I say?"

Seeing this, Depp smiled and then said, "Then, the Gotham City Superhero Vocational Technical Academy will officially begin operations tonight!"

Bruce replied with disdain, "The name you came up with is truly speechless!"

Chapter 335 Super Bat Cave

“Names don’t matter at all. As long as you can train Clark well, even the worst name will sound sophisticated,” Depp said. “Then, I think we can start Clark’s specialized training in a bit.”

Clark asked, "Um...where do we train? We're not training right here, are we?"

Depp looked at Batman and said, "Of course it won't be at the top of Wayne Tower. As for the training location... I don't think there's a better place than the Batcave."

Batman nodded. Prior to this, he had reached an agreement with Depp to contribute his largest Batcave as a "super classroom" to help Clark train.

Bat Cave!

Everyone else present, except for the Joker and Arthur Curry, showed expressions of surprise, including Oswald, who had trained in the Batcave many times.

Because the location of the Batcave is Batman's real secret, historically, no one except Robin and Alfred knows its true location.

As for the Joker... it's not surprising that he knows any secrets or has defeated any powerful person.

Many of the people present had only been to the Bat Cave once or twice, or had never been there at all.

So when they heard Batman say he was going to train Clark in the Batcave, everyone got excited.

Arthur Curry's composure stemmed from his complete ignorance of what a bat cave was.

As for Selena, her ability to remain calm in the face of adversity stems from her confidence in her own abilities.

Selena now possesses the power to destroy a city.

However, for some reason, Depp noticed that Selena had stopped talking ever since he gave her the Siren.

Even now, Selena doesn't know that her shape-shifting bracelet is actually a living thing.

On the other hand, before this, others had only regarded the Bat Cave as a slightly more upscale underground safe house.

And now, Batman is saying he's going to train an alien with the power to destroy the Earth in the Batcave.

This once again shocked everyone with Batman's raw power.

Meanwhile, everyone already knew Batman's true identity.

In other words, people have gained a new understanding of the financial strength of the Wayne Group.
