American comics: What kind of evil intentions could Batman have?

Chapter 603 I'm the villain, do you think I'm a hero?

Chapter 603 I'm the villain, do you think I'm a hero?

The streets are filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

In the middle of the street, a statue of reverse lightning.

Chen Tao walked slowly down the street, not in a hurry to see Reverse Lightning.

Silvery-white particles brushed lightly across his legs, transforming his ordinary Batman suit armor into the Red Death's red leg armor. Bat-shaped Speed ​​Force flowed like water over his feet, resonating slightly with the Speed ​​Force flowing throughout the timeline.

Chen Tao didn't use the power of the Ion Shark; it wasn't worth making such a fuss right now. Although he couldn't synchronize with the Red Death Demon for a long time using his own strength, he could still maintain it for a longer period if he only synchronized his legs slightly.

He left behind a series of charred footprints on the ground, still wreathed in flowing, bat-shaped red lightning bolts.

As these lightning bolts continued to flash, the Speed ​​Force of this universe was also actively responding to Chen Tao, responding to the addition of a brand-new Speed ​​Force user—and it was very likely that this foreign Speed ​​Force user's power was almost comparable to the strongest speedster in this universe.

"Good heavens, that guy... look, look at his feet..."

Chen Tao overheard the whispers of passersby, who stared in surprise at his legs and Chen Tao dressed in a Batman costume.

Chen Tao soon discovered the crowd of people who looked like frightened hamsters.

"Hello, actually I'm the latest cosplayer!" Chen Tao said to the chubby blond boy holding a lollipop on the roadside, "and the effects on my legs are the latest 3D particle stereoscopic imagery! Want to touch my feet?"

The chubby little boy with a double chin visibly brightened up.

Soon, as the chubby little boy, his double chin jiggling, went to greet his mother, Chen Tao's surprise and doubt turned into a flurry of raised cameras and cheers.

As Chen Tao stepped into the Speed ​​Force footprints, he casually chatted with the crowd: "Hey ladies, don't you know who I am? I'm actually a quarter of a god from another multiverse. I've defeated Brainiac, Darkseid, and the Anti-Monitor. I'm the ruthless, exploitative boss behind Gotham's Guardians, and also the savior of the world."

"Wow, that's amazing!" exclaimed a young, freckled girl next to me. "This cosplay even has a backstory!"

"Can you sing?" someone asked.

Of course he knows it; Chen Tao was an actor in his previous life. He'd almost forgotten this skill.

"Not only can I sing, I can also perform magic," he said.

A few minutes later.

"I am the night! I am revenge! I am—Batman!"

With a loud bang, a red lightning bolt exploded behind Chen Tao, and the crowd watching the special effects performance around Chen Tao applauded wildly.

A few minutes later.

"Hero~ super hero~" To the background music of The Lion King, Chen Tao, who had completely transformed into a metal spirit, took off his head and showed it to everyone in the pose of The Lion King holding Simba.

A few minutes later.

"Damn, I almost got carried away with the performance."

The silly rednecks saw Chen Tao off as he left, and the whole scene suddenly turned into a fan meeting.

"OMG, where's your YouTube account? I'm your fan starting today!"

"Uh..." Chen Tao scratched his head, then casually made up a lie for her: "My account name is Skull Cat Maid."

Finally, Chen Tao left the crowd and stopped in the alley.

He looked down and saw that the originally red, bat-shaped Speed ​​Force current at his feet had turned into the gold most commonly used by Reverse Lightning Elberdswan, then flickered for a moment before turning back into the red bat lightning of the Red Death.

"Very good, now the speed force of this universe has resonated with me... This should be enough of a commotion..." he thought to himself.

That's true. Unless Reverse-Flash dies, he should be coming for me soon.

He certainly didn't intend to walk right into their trap. Although one of the main reasons he came to this universe was to find Reverse-Flash to be his teammate, he wasn't the kind of fool who would make decisions based on his understanding of things from the comics.

Memories of reading comics in his past life are ultimately just comics; he wouldn't entrust the entire course of his plan to information that hasn't been verified by facts.

He always used the information he collected to verify the information in the comics from his previous life, and only by combining the two could he draw a conclusion.

Oh……

A blue portal began to light up before Chen Tao's eyes. Was Reverse Flash coming?

But Chen Tao suddenly felt something was strange. If Reverse Lightning were coming for him, it should have appeared in front of him at lightning speed, but this portal in front of him...

What happened this time?

……

……

……

When the laughing bat sat on him...

Even as he laughed maniacally at the empty floor of the Batcave, a smile remained on his face.

Strangely enough, even in this seemingly inelegant sitting posture, the Bat of Laughter exudes an air of complete control.

And that was indeed the case. The Batman Who Laughs did not fill up all the things that Batman Dragon had stolen from him in the Earth-22 Batcave. He didn't even add a new chair, preferring to sit directly on the ground instead.

It's hard to say why he did that.

Perhaps it's to relive the feeling of being robbed?

The feeling of being hurt and possibly failing, of being out of control, brought him pleasure, even though he was always able to strategize and control the situation.

Okay, of course it's not that weird.

In fact, while the stolen items were valuable, they were not a major blow to the Batman Who Laughs.

Some things he left here were taken by Batman, which not only settled the score he had previously incurred, but also allowed him to completely hack the things he had previously transferred to other space bases, making them things that Barbatos had no idea about.

And he could obviously use these hacked resources to do something, something real, effective.

"If you get there, what's the point of hiding in the shadows, old friend?" he asked.

Immediately afterwards, two voices came over at the same time.

The first sound was the sole of a boot on the ground. A slow, rustling sound. A very common sound Batman makes when he walks, of course, he did it on purpose so the Batman Who Laughs could hear him.

The other one was somewhat special; the sound he deliberately made was the clanging and clattering of metal armor colliding.

The Batman Who Laughs turned his head and saw the first Batman appear in front of him. The other person was dressed in the traditional Batman outfit, but his body was covered with all sorts of weapons.

Guns, grenades, bombs, artillery, grenade launchers, assault rifles—when he walked over, he only deliberately made the rustling sound of his footsteps, while all those weapons on his body remained completely silent.

To be honest, the Bat Who Laughs had considered what people might think.

Seriously, you're sending a Batman who knows nothing but how to use firearms to fight a guaranteed demigod who has stolen about a quarter of the Dark City's dragon status?

But the Laughing Bat believes that even trash has its purpose.

Especially the Cruel Knight... This Batman who shoots and kills will have a teammate who best suits his abilities.

The principle of mutual generation and assistance among all things in this world is so wondrous. Many years ago, the Batman Who Laughs discovered the Cruel Knight and confirmed that his abilities would be compatible with those of another Batman...

Resonance at the same frequency.

Closely following the Cruel Knight was an ancient Greek Batman warrior clad in heavy armor.

He was clad in dark blue armor and wore a blue helmet shaped like a half-skull, with two bat wings pointing skyward from the edge of the helmet.

Although they were both Bruce, he was a full half a head taller than the Cruel Knight beside him, towering over him like a shadow, enveloping the Cruel Knight.

Look, Bruce, wearing the helmet of the god of war, is already the god of war, while the ruthless knight with a gun is the best embodiment and continuation of war.

(Note: This explains why, after Death Metal, the Batman Who Laughs suddenly brought out Cruel Knight, a Batman with few special skills other than using guns, to help him in the main universe. The Batman Who Laughs originally intended for Cruel Knight and Merciless to team up, but Merciless died at the end of Dark Night Metal.)

"Just in time," said the Bat of Laughter. "Merciless Iron Fist."

The merciless iron fist remained silent as he walked to the side of the cruel knight.

"You've just joined the Dark Knights; it's time to prove yourself."

The Laughing Bat looked at the Merciless Iron Fist with satisfaction; this was exactly the piece he needed, a piece he could truly use.

Unlike those uncontrolled, dark multiverses of deformed creatures.

The power of the merciless iron fist is fully capable of contending with, or even defeating, the strongest monsters of the Dark Multiverse, such as the Lantern Horror or Queen Hecate.

Most importantly, one must be merciless, iron-fisted, obedient to orders, and able to understand them.

For the Batman Who Laughs, this is the most important thing.

He said, "You, go and kill Batman Dragon."

The merciless iron fist remained silent; only a soft panting could be heard beneath his bronze mask.

The Laughing Bat said, "Don't worry, Lord Barbatos has given his approval."

"Lord Barbatos is currently preoccupied with suppressing the Forge, but he still cannot allow Batman to roam the Dark Multiverse to gather his allies and carry out his plans. This will ultimately affect the occurrence of the Descent of the Curtain."

(Note: "Descent" refers to Barbatos's plan to infect the main universe's Batman with five metals, transforming him into the Batman who would invade the main universe's portal. This plan actually has an official name in the comics.)

The Bat of Laughter stood up and dusted off his pants.

"So, regarding the world Batman is currently in..." He grinned.

"Any ideas, everyone?"

……

……

……

A blue light flashed, and Chen Tao saw a Batman fully armed emerge from behind the portal. Chen Tao immediately recognized who it was:

Cruel Knight.

After that accident, Bruce picked up the rifle that Jocher had used to murder his parents, then shot and killed the murderers, and became obsessed with firearms ever since.

What followed was no different from the main universe's Batman storyline. Like Bruce Wayne in the main universe, the young Brutal Knight traveled the world as much as possible, learning from the mercenaries and assassins he could find. But the Brutal Knight soon realized:

Damn it, Alfred, this thing is way better than a batarang.

Bang bang bang!

The young Batman, Bruce Wayne, rediscovered his roots. No matter how fast he wielded the knife taught by the Ninja Master, it couldn't outrun a gun. He needed a weapon to vanquish evil and become Gotham's Angel of Death.

What follows is the familiar Batman storyline from the Dark Multiverse: going on a killing spree.

In short, this Batman who shot and killed people has somehow gotten involved with the Batman Who Laughs and the Merciless Iron Fist, and then he appeared in front of Chen Tao.

"Well, well, well."

The Cruel Knight had just left the portal when he heard Batman say this in front of him.

He looked up and saw the other person's wide smile.

To be honest, the smile was so familiar that for a moment he thought he was seeing the Bat of Laughter again.

But the Cruel Knight still knew his purpose.

"My life has been taken away by an innocent girl."

He raised his gun to his forehead: "The power of war makes my life equal to that of my enemy, to go to the underworld together."

In an instant, Chen Tao disarmed the Cruel Knight and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him up.

"Grabbing me...it's no use...ah!!!!"

He let out a scream as Chen Tao reached out and tore a piece of flesh off his body with his bare hands.

The next moment, taking advantage of the intense pain, Fuleniak's mental energy entered his brain, flipping through his memories like turning the pages of a book.

Chen Tao wasn't sure if what he said was true, nor did he know if the other person's memory had been altered to deceive him. He didn't have time to verify these details. But first, he needed to see where the other person's hostages were.

Because the hostages are very likely real.

"Don't think you can sever this connection. You know nothing about the power of the Olympian gods... This is the only area you haven't interfered with."

Chen Tao tried it out, and yes, the Olympian gods of his universe had slipped away before the Anti-Monitors invaded, along with the Father of the New Genesis Star.

Since transmigrating, Chen Tao has never seen any aspect of the Olympian gods or the new creator god. His only knowledge of them is that Hephaestus forged a sword for Diana.

Humans cannot unravel things they have never seen before, and the other party, being prepared, took advantage of this.

Ignoring what the other person was saying, Chen Tao appeared in front of a little girl with tears streaming down her face in the next instant. The girl's mother screamed, terrified by the menacing Chen Tao and the cruel knight who was holding her by the neck like a little chick: "Damn it, I was lying when I said that if you didn't behave, some weird uncle would come and get you, waah!"

"It's her."

"That's right, if you kill me, he will..."

The next second, Chen Tao shot the little girl in the head.

"I'm the villain, not some superhero!"
