This is why, at Clark Kent's funeral, Bruce Wayne said that he had let Superman down when he was alive.
"Alright, Afu, where should I go next?"
on the screen.
While Luther was giving his long speech, Bruce Wayne quietly left the scene and inquired with his butler Alfred over the communication channel.
"Go past the elevator and turn left!"
But then he saw Alfred sitting in front of a computer, looking at the X-ray scan on it, and giving Bruce Wayne directions: "In the basement service corridor, go downstairs!"
Bruce Wayne thought his little trick was completely undetected, but little did he know that Clark Kent, who was present at the scene, had heard everything he said through the receiver.
Clark Kent immediately noticed Bruce Wayne.
However, Clark Kent only paid attention to Bruce Wayne and that was all; he did not take any action for the time being.
He's a reporter for the Daily Planet now, not Superman!
And so, with Alfred's technical support, Bruce Wayne passed through one passage after another, finally arriving in front of a computing power unit.
He quietly installed a specially made hard drive on the transmission cable of the computer case.
“Bruce Wayne has definitely done this before,” Diana couldn’t help but laugh.
Bruce Wayne and Alfred both seemed very familiar with the situation, like seasoned veterans. Alfred, in particular, was equipped with a set of gear that even some intelligence agencies couldn't match.
It seems Captain America was right before: while Bruce Wayne fights crime, Batman's very existence is a form of disruption and provocation against the law.
Bruce Wayne himself is certainly not such a rigid person.
“Sometimes, we have to be flexible,” Bruce Wayne shrugged and explained casually to everyone.
They didn't say much.
on the screen.
The camera continues to move.
"Need any help, Bruce Wayne?"
Just after Bruce Wayne finished installing the equipment, a voice rang out, and a tall, thin woman called out to Bruce Wayne.
That woman was none other than Lex Luthor's confidante.
Lex Luke's men were not to be trifled with either; they couldn't possibly let Bruce Wayne swagger around and do such petty things without them noticing.
"I just... thought the bathroom was downstairs." Bruce Wayne was indeed a veteran; lies came out of his mouth effortlessly and fluently.
"I must have... drunk a bit too much on my last Martini."
"The men's restroom is upstairs!" the woman immediately told Bruce Wayne, then turned and left.
It's unclear whether they believed Bruce Wayne's words or deliberately lowered Bruce Wayne's guard.
In short, Bruce Wayne's actions appear to have been very successful.
However, now that he had been discovered by Luther's men, he could no longer stay downstairs watching his instruments, so Bruce Wayne immediately went back upstairs.
“Mr. Wayne, I am Clark Kent from the Daily Planet.”
As soon as he went upstairs, Clark Kent rushed over to greet Bruce Wayne.
“My foundation has already issued a statement supporting library philanthropy,” Bruce Wayne immediately told Clark Kent.
But Clark Kent had other motives; he clearly wasn't there to interview Bruce Wayne for the sake of the party.
"What's your opinion on Gotham City's Batman vigilantes?" Clark Kent suddenly asked.
It seems that the conversation between Bruce Wayne and Alfred that Clark Kent overheard earlier has made him suspicious of Bruce Wayne's identity.
Clark Kent came specifically to see Bruce Wayne, clearly to verify his suspicions and test Bruce Wayne's true identity.
Then consider the battle between Batman and Superman, where Superman immediately called out Batman's name, "Bruce," indicating that the latter knew Batman's true identity.
Perhaps it was at this time that Batman's true identity was revealed.
Chapter 417 Superman is back in action!
"Planet Daily? Wait a minute, is this one of my companies, or someone else's?"
Upon hearing Clark Kent's aggressive questioning, this was the first thing Bruce Wayne thought of.
This shows just how many businesses and media companies Bruce Wayne owns.
The Daily Planet is known for its coverage of Superman and is a fairly well-known company in Metropolis, but even so, Bruce Wayne can't quite recall whether he actually owns such a company.
This shows just how enormous Bruce Wayne is.
"Citizens' freedom has been trampled in your city! Good people live in fear." Clark Kent's words were as sharp as ever.
This shows that Clark Kent also harbored considerable prejudice against Batman.
“Don’t believe everything you hear, young man,” Bruce Wayne said to Clark Kent in an annoyed tone.
“I saw it with my own eyes, Mr. Wayne,” Clark Kent said. “He thinks he’s above the law.”
"Is this what you really think, Clark?"
In front of the screen, Bruce Wayne couldn't help but turn his head and ask Clark Kent beside him.
He never imagined that Superman would have such a deep prejudice against him.
"Not yet," Clark Kent shrugged and shook his head.
Although he had some dissatisfaction with Bruce Wayne, it was far from the extent depicted in the footage.
The respondents now understood that Lex Luthor must have done something to cause the misunderstanding between Superman and Batman.
The Batman v Superman fight seems to be something Lex Luthor has been planning for a long time.
"interesting."
on the screen.
Bruce Wayne couldn't help but chuckle. "The Daily Planet is actually criticizing those who think they're above the law. Don't you think that's a bit hypocritical?"
“Every time your hero saves a cat from a tree, you write a patronizing article about an alien who can destroy an entire planet if he wants to.”
"When that time comes, there's nothing we can do to stop him."
Ok.
It wasn't just Clark Kent who had a prejudice against Batman; it now appears that Bruce Wayne also harbored some prejudice against Superman.
Of course, this can also be seen from the footage of the stir-fry battle.
At the time, Superman clearly didn't want to fight Batman; he only wanted to talk to him. But Batman was determined to kill Superman.
"Time's up, it seems the transmission is complete!"
While Bruce Wayne was locked in a fierce battle with Superman, Alfred's notification tone came through his communication channel.
"Let's talk next time!"
Bruce Wayne immediately greeted Superman and then went downstairs to retrieve his hard drive.
However, to Bruce Wayne's great dismay, when he arrived at the computer case, he found that his hard drive was missing!
Bruce Wayne abruptly turned his head and looked around, only to find Diana standing in the doorway, staring at him with a cold gaze.
She was practically ready to run up to Bruce Wayne and tell him, "I stole your stuff."
Bruce Wayne rushed after her, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up and could only watch helplessly as Diana got into the car and left.
The camera on the screen then switched again.
However, in another very high-class hall, there were many people coming and going, which seemed to be a very high-end banquet.
"Some scholars now insist that that event never happened..."
A bespectacled scholar was explaining things to Diana, “But I believe that behavior; it perfectly fits someone who is both a king and an assassin.”
"For me, this is the pinnacle of my curatorial work in the past forty years. I can hardly believe that I finally got it."
At this point, the bespectacled man led Diana to a display case.
"The Sword of Alexander, the sword that cut through the Gordian Knot!"
Enjoy!
"This is fake!"
"On the screen," Bruce Wayne said firmly.
As a top billionaire with a vast intelligence network, Bruce Wayne is quite knowledgeable about antiques and similar items.
"That's right!"
Diana nodded in agreement.
Although she wasn't as rich as Bruce Wayne, nor did she have his vast intelligence network, there was one thing she possessed that Bruce Wayne couldn't match.
They've lived way too long!
Diana actually used this so-called Alexander the Great's Sword!
on the screen.
Bruce Banner walked over to Diana with an air of familiarity and said with certainty, "This is fake. The real one was bought on the black market in '98, and it's currently hanging on..."
“Hang it above Sultan Hajj’s bed,” Diana interjected, then said to Bruce Wayne, “Excuse me, I must leave.”
Diana then left.
Bruce Wayne naturally refused and hurriedly chased after him: "I'm sorry, miss, a few nights ago you took something that didn't belong to you. Stealing is impolite."
"If it's stolen from another thief, does that count as stealing?" Diana retorted with ease.
Who are you?
"A person who is interested in the same person as you."
"is it?"
