I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Depp looked around at everyone,

First up standing here is Batman, the teacher of fighting and combat.

Beside Batman are Joseph Cole, the eerie and spiritual civilization construction teacher known as the Joker, and his assistant, Harley Quinn.

Next comes the cunning and ambush-style teacher, Oswald the Penguin.

In addition, Oswald would also teach Clark some interpersonal skills in class.

Next are Ivy Poison Ivy, the botany teacher; Victor, the ice magic teacher; and Arthur Curry, the oceanography and long weapons teacher.

Finally, there's the stealth instructor, himself, and Selena.

Depp looked around and finally met Bruce's gaze.

"Tonight's first lesson will be taught to Clark by Mr. Batman. I think the rest of you can go back now and wait for further instructions."

“What about us?!” Harvey Dent and James Gordon said in unison.

Everyone present had something they needed to teach Clark, except for the two of them, who were not assigned any teaching tasks.

This gave them a rather strong sense of...frustration.

Depp glanced at the two men, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Um... how about Gordon teaches Clark how to exploit loopholes in the country's laws? Harvey can teach Clark how to use his tongue to exonerate himself or other criminals?"

"That's impossible! We would never do something illegal or disorderly!"

James Gordon and Harvey Dent spoke at the same time.

Depp shrugged and said, "Then there's nothing more to teach you. You guys should go back to your wives and kids and go to sleep."

"Okay, you're right."

Gordon and Harvey exchanged a glance, then waved helplessly, turned around, and left Wayne Tower.

Compared to the other members of the Justice League, the two of them are indeed quite different.

Not only because they are ordinary people, but also because they have normal jobs, families, and responsibilities.

Compared to the others, who were either orphans or freaks, they were indeed unable to do anything too outrageous.

Depp and Bruce also didn't want them to get too involved in these dangerous incidents.

After all, all the extraordinary events that have happened in Gotham and the supervillains who defy common sense have made Bruce realize one thing.

The world is not as ordinary or logical as we imagine.

This world contains too many things that ordinary people cannot imagine, unimaginable power, and... unimaginable evil.

Therefore, as ordinary people, Gordon and Harvey are not suited to get too involved in such events.

If they die, Bruce will be unable to give their families a proper explanation.

On this point, Bruce and Depp were surprisingly in agreement.

Just as Gordon and Harvey left the Wayne Tower, a dark green figure rushed out of the stairwell like a whirlwind, then came to an abrupt stop in front of Depp, nearly tripping.

"Sorry I'm late!" Wellen was wearing a dark blue suit, but the once well-fitting suit had been reduced to countless scraps of cloth hanging on Wellen's protruding scales.

Clearly, the child lost control of his strength on his way to the Venta, causing the scales to bulge out as he exerted his force, tearing the expensive suit to shreds.

However, compared to the suit, the exposed scales on Wellen's body attracted everyone's attention.

Compared to before, the scales on Wellen's body were a darker color, and as Wellen's blood gradually cooled down, his scales closed up again.

The seamless, dark green scales reflected a chilling light under the moonlight, sending shivers down one's spine.

Without a doubt, Wellen's scales are much stronger than before!

Furthermore, Depp was absolutely certain that while the strength of the scales had increased, Wellen's other abilities had also been greatly enhanced.

For example, his claws are definitely sharper than before, and his strength and self-healing ability have also been greatly enhanced.

"Boss... there's so much going on at the company, it'll take me a long time to get things done. I really didn't mean to be late."

Seeing that Depp didn't reply, Wellen spoke cautiously.

Wellen's cautious and apprehensive demeanor, coupled with his words that contrasted sharply with his tone, greatly surprised Arthur Curry, who was meeting Wellen for the first time, and Clark, who had not had much interaction with Wellen before.

Even the way they looked at Depp carried a strange undertone.

Clark's eyes were full of admiration: "Brother Depp is indeed amazing. The power contained in this crocodile-like guy is even a little frightening to me, but he is so respectful to Brother Depp."

Arthur Curry, however, was puzzled, wondering, "Is Depp too strong, or is this crocodile man too weak? I'm really curious!"

Upon hearing this, Depp said, "Hey, it's no big deal. It's late, and you've come at just the right time. Batman is going to teach Clark fighting tonight, and you can be Clark's sparring partner."

"Yes, boss!" Wellen asked excitedly, "When do we leave?"

Having not seen Depp for a long time, Wellen missed him terribly, and the fact that he was immediately hit with a punching bag upon his return made him incredibly happy.

After all, under normal circumstances, Wellen could not find an opponent who could fight him.

Now that the boss has asked him to be this young man's sparring partner, it naturally shows that the young man's skills are quite good.

Depp checked the time and said, "I think we can leave now. The rest of you can go home first, and I'll let one of you know in advance to come to the Batcave to give the lecture tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone left the Wayne Tower, except for Ivy, who stood there and asked, "Can I go with them? Wayne hasn't been home for a week because of work; he's been living at the company every day."

Upon hearing this, Depp immediately nodded and said, "Of course, no problem."

Then, Depp looked at Wellen and said, "After tonight's training, you must stay home with Ivy for a week and not go out. Get some rest at home."

Upon hearing this, Wellen hesitated, but ultimately did not refuse Depp's order.

However, in his heart, Wellen kept thinking: Boss, you have no idea that staying at home is a hundred times more tiring than working!

"The boss is so nice!" Ivy said, immediately linking her arm with Wellen's strong shoulder. "Let's go to the Bat Cave!"

Inside Gotham City's largest Batcave, Depp, Selena Gomez, Dick Jr., Batman, Clark Kent, and the Wayne couple stand at the entrance.

The massive steel gate slowly opened under Alfred's control, revealing a bat cave the size of several small towns.

Apart from Batman, everyone else stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Even Little Dick had never been to this bat cave.

“My God!” Clark exclaimed, “Batman, have you hollowed out half of Gotham City?”

"I really hope this thing doesn't get built downstairs from my house, otherwise I'll definitely have to move!" Ivy said. "Or, I can use cute little plants to reinforce the foundation of my house."

Batman replied, "Don't worry, this Batcave is a full three thousand meters above the ground, and the entire Batcave has been reinforced several times with special steel materials. Even if the city above is destroyed by a nuclear bomb, this place will not be damaged at all."

Little Dick looked resentful and said, "Hmph, Uncle Bruce, you've never brought me here before, how awful!"

As soon as he said it, Little Dick immediately covered his mouth and looked at Bruce with a guilty expression.

"Did I... say something I shouldn't have?" Little Dick asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Clark asked in confusion, "What are you referring to as something I shouldn't say?"

Little Dick, his eyes darting around, said, "It's...it's Batman's real identity!"

"Huh?" Clark was even more puzzled: "Isn't Batman Mr. Bruce? I don't think it's a secret at all."

"what?"

This time, it was Little Dick's turn to be puzzled.

He was unaware that, to most superheroes and villains, Batman's identity was no secret at all, especially among the people present.

Depp and Selena Gomez already knew that Bruce was Batman, while Clark used his X-ray vision to discover the true identity behind the Batman mask.

As for Wellen and Ivy, there was speculation about the former because of Depp's relationship with him.

On the other hand, it was because after awakening the Crocodile God gene, Wellen's sense of smell became extremely acute.

In their work, Wayne, representing the Depp Group, often had to communicate with Bruce, representing the Wayne Group.

Therefore, by smelling the man, Wayne easily discovered Batman's true identity.

However, since no one had ever pointed this out, Wellen didn't say anything more.

And that's exactly what happened. Bruce didn't get angry as Little Dick had expected. Instead, he simply took off his Batman mask and said, "Come on, my identity is no secret in a way."

See, even Bruce himself is well aware of this.

Batman is just a code name, a symbol that...would haunt the dreams of all the villains in Gotham City.

At first, Bruce was torn about whether to reveal his identity like Tony Stark did.

Ultimately, however, Bruce decided to abandon this audacious idea in order to protect Alfred and the Wayne Group.

But gradually he discovered that whether it was the Joker, Wellen, or even the Riddler whom he had repeatedly captured at Arkham Asylum, they all actually already knew his secret.

Although he didn't know why those guys hadn't revealed that Bruce Wayne was Batman, at least one thing was reassuring.

Even if those guys knew their true identities, they would never spread them around, much less attack the people around them.

Later, a remark from Depp enlightened Bruce, making him aware of the thoughts of those super bastards.

"Bruce, you need to understand, they need Batman, they want to conquer Batman, they want to challenge Batman. Because Batman never kills, because Batman has his own bottom line."

"But...they fear Batman who is unburdened and driven mad, so they dare not attack Alfred, nor do they dare to kill Dick Jr., nor do they dare to attack Wayne Enterprises at will."

"Because they know that the pain of losing loved ones will cause Batman to cross his own bottom line, and a Batman who has lost his bottom line will become the most terrifying executioner in the world, staining the streets with their blood."

"As for Wayne Enterprises... if they really wanted to, they could even raze Gotham to the ground to get rid of some bastard."

"At worst... we can just start building Gotham City from scratch, just like the Wayne family ancestors did."

"Of course, there's one exception to all of this, and that's the Joker."

"But fortunately, the Joker is now on our side. Although he is still insane, he has added a layer of neutral and kind Lady Joseph personality on top of his chaotic and evil Joker personality."

"Otherwise, he will become your most troublesome and unreasonable enemy."

Bringing his thoughts back, Bruce led the group into the Bat Cave.

The steel gates slowly closed, and Bruce snapped his fingers. A limited-edition luxury Batmobile worth millions of dollars automatically drove up to the group.

Special training is about to begin!

Chapter 336 Batman vs. Superman

Bruce drove the convertible Batmobile, taking everyone towards the training and combat room inside the Batcave.
