American comics: Random transformations.

Tian Xiaoban smiled slightly: "Of course, with this ability, no matter how hard Garfield hits, it can heal him! So, if you team up with it, you can be more reckless."

Alfred picked up the fruit knife on the bedside table and began to remove the plaster on his foot. He continued to ask, "How much do you know about the current situation?"

Tian Xiaoban replied: "Well, apart from your injury, Batman's disappearance, and Dick saying that Batman went to cause trouble for the Penguin and Bane's gang in the mission log, I don't know anything else."

Dick Grayson added:

"I was planning to investigate on my own tonight! But then I ran into these two, and after I knew they could cure you, I brought them to find you."

Alfred cleaned the plaster and walked out in his hospital clothes.

"Come on, let's go back first. There's something I need to give you."

After everyone left the hospital, Dick drove towards Wayne Manor.

....................................

The nights nowadays are not as deserted as before. You can still see a group of people performing their superpowers outside in the middle of the night.

People with super powers, especially those with super cool powers, like to go out at night to have fun, show off with their friends, and rob people by the way.

Along the way, there were flames, electric lights, and all kinds of colorful lasers that were even more dazzling than the colorful lights in the bar.

Tian Xiaoban, who was sitting in the car, asked:

"What's the situation with your super drug now? Although I know that this stuff has been circulated in the metropolis for a long time. But when I see it on the street, why do I feel that it has become a standard for gangsters here?

Where are the police? Why are there no patrolmen now? "

Alfred, who was sitting in the car, took a look outside:

“There’s nothing we can do about it. All the police officers who can handle the situation have gone to the hospital, so naturally there’s no one here to take care of it.

The master had previously wanted to restrict the circulation of drugs, but the more he restricted them, the more intense the backlash from Gotham became.

The super-powered pill that costs one thousand US dollars per pill has been driven up to five or six thousand per pill on the black market.

This thing instantly became a highly profitable industry that was even more popular than leaves.

Gotham's gangs are smuggling super drugs in large quantities, and the supply cannot be controlled. Basically, anyone with a little money will buy one. It is more sought-after than guns.

Not only that, the Gotham gang has been researching this in private, and a large number of fake drugs have flowed into the market. Not only can those things not give people super powers, they can also easily cause people to suffer instant genetic collapse and death.

In order to reduce casualties and crack down on the mafia industry, the Gotham City Government now officially sells super drugs.

Make an appointment with your real name on the website, and then go to the city hall to buy it. Although there is no limit on the number of medicines you can buy, there are still restrictions on the types of super powers.

The unlimited superpowers are life-saving superpowers such as [Healing] or [Regeneration]. However, offensive superpowers will be recorded by the GCPD, so that if something goes wrong, the authorities can directly find the suspect.

However, so far, this method has had very poor results. Most Gotham citizens prefer the cheap but problematic super drugs sold on the black market because they think the Gotham government will take their money.

Dick Grayson, who was driving, added: “There have been more and more superpowered crimes lately, and the financial damage they can cause is getting bigger and bigger.

Especially after Batman's disappearance, parts of Gotham have been experiencing big problems.

The mayor of Gotham decided to ask LexCorp to help create a team of superpowers! The kind with permanent superpowers, who will fight criminals and take down Batman at the same time. "

Tian Xiaoban frowned. Has Gotham become like this?

Although Gotham was already a bad place, the emergence of super drugs made it even worse.

"You guys... just don't care?"

"...I just got back." Dick Grayson emphasized: "If Batman hadn't been missing, this wouldn't have happened!"

Alfred shook his head. "I have no power... I still need to find the master. I don't have much time before I find him.

I think that Master Dick would be happy to help the master manage this already chaotic Gotham."

Dick Grayson was silent. After thinking for three minutes, he answered Alfred:

"No, Ah Fu, I still have self-knowledge. Facing those criminals who can easily lift the bank vault, I may not have the strength."

Although Dick didn't want to admit it, Batman was indeed better than him. Batman could always deal with these unconventional criminals.

“Drive carefully, Master Dick.

The master is also an ordinary person, but being ordinary does not mean being weak, Master Dick.

Don't give up too early. Although Lex Luthor's genetic medicine can mass-produce super-powered people, this medicine is not permanent. We will always find an opportunity.

Turn around and we'll go to Hangar Three, where we'll have something that can help you."

The car drifted around the corner and stopped at an artificial fountain.

The artificial fountain rose automatically, revealing the entrance to the underground hangar. Dick stepped on the accelerator and rushed down.

After driving down for ten minutes, we suddenly saw a clear view. There was a large cave underneath, but now it was paved with a lot of metal plates, making it a good secret base.

Two large bat fighters were parked quietly here, looking indescribably majestic and domineering.

"follow me."

Alfred led the way, bringing the two people and the cat to a place that looked like a laboratory.

"The master had already foreseen the explosive growth of superpowers. Therefore, he made a few more power armors to prevent any unexpected events."

The metal explosion-proof door opened, and five light power armors stood quietly in the warehouse.

Alfred turned on the lights, and the white cold light illuminated these powerful weapons. This thing ignited the enthusiasm of the two young men.

Alfred did not stop the two young men who had already started to touch her. He calmly introduced them:

"Movable lightweight titanium alloy power armor. Titanium alloy has high strength and good toughness.

This power armor is two meters high. As long as people within two meters enter the cockpit, the power armor will automatically shrink and adapt.

The power comes from a small reactor, which can run for three hours at full capacity and five hours in energy-saving mode. There is a shield on the right arm that can absorb external energy. It is specifically used to target those super-powered people with fire and laser abilities.

The mecha weighs nearly one ton, so Master Dick, it is not suitable for jumping on the roof. The buildings in Gotham do not have such good load-bearing capacity.

The transport plane outside can carry these, allowing you to move more safely."

"Well done, this is exactly what I needed."

Dick Grayson was itching to get away with it.

"Master Ban, do you need it?"

"No, I have Garfield and that's all I need. I can't wait to leave."

Tian Xiaoban is really brave. He wants to go and see what Gotham is like now. He wants to see if some powerful guys will appear because of the super-powered drugs.

"OK, I'll support you in the Batcave, let's go, I'll send the address to the fighter."

Alfred pressed the button twice, and the platform of the power armor automatically raised its wheels, allowing this nearly one-ton guy to be pushed around like luggage.

Dick pushed away a blue one, which was obviously an armor specially set up for him.

Everyone got on the fighter plane, and after Alfred sent the address, the fighter plane immediately flew towards the destination.

.......................................

"What is this? Crime Alley?"

The Riddler felt that this place was very familiar, but he couldn't leave. It was like a bottomless quagmire that trapped him in this broken place.

"Shit, what's in this crappy place? Is it a riddle I can't solve?"

No matter which way he walked, he always ended up in this shabby alley, and it would rain from time to time, which puzzled the Riddler.

"The birth of Batman is related to this place?"

He was smart and immediately thought of the key point. This was the place where the Waynes were killed, and it was also the most popular news at the time.

He actually knew something about the people who participated at that time. The Riddler had read many strange records and found an organization from between the lines.

That is Gotham's most famous Court of Owls.

"Is Batman also a member of the Court of Owls?"

The Riddler immediately rejected this guess. Suddenly the scene changed and he saw a child crying in the rain.

"Bruce Wayne, haha, losing your parents will give you countless wealth. How many people in Gotham want this opportunity?"

The Riddler's voice was slightly sarcastic. He couldn't stand little brats like this the most. They felt like the sky was falling when they encountered a little setback. It was boring.

Suddenly, he saw the person standing behind the child.

"Oh, old friend! Oh, you are still very young now, Gordon."

That’s right, the person standing behind Bruce Wayne was Gordon, who had just become a patrolman.

The Riddler frowned, keenly aware that something was wrong.

Here is Batman's inner world, how come young Gordon suddenly appears?

As the doubts grew, the Riddler became more and more excited.

Can a kid become Batman?

The Riddler says it is difficult.

But what if a kid is very rich, rich enough to create a Batman, is that okay?

Okay, great!

In a crazy place like Gotham, it is possible to tame a Batman from countless people by piling up money and spending money.

This also explains why Batman has “died” so many times but has never died completely!

"I understand. You, little brat, are the source of Batman! You can use money, resources, and equipment to create Batman one after another! You are the one playing chess!"

“Hahahaha, I see. No wonder the Court of Owls didn’t dare to take action against you. It turns out that you have the means to fight against them!”

The Riddler became more and more excited as he spoke. Now the question that Penguin wanted to know was solved: why Batman could still be alive and kicking after brain death? Because he was not the same person at all!

Perfect conclusion! Perfect closed loop!

Why can anyone be Batman wearing a mask? Because there are a group of Batmen!

"I didn't expect that Bruce Wayne would be so cunning. Ahahahaha..."

As the Riddler laughed like a madman.

The crying child seemed to have heard what he said.

He stood up silently and walked step by step to the Riddler.
