"The assassination of President Bruce Wayne - the most horrific large-scale terrorist attack in American history! Please listen to our detailed analysis next..."
"Yesterday at about 2:30 a.m., the U.S. Capitol was attacked by a terrorist attack. President Bruce Wayne was unfortunately killed while he was working. The spokesperson of the U.S. Congress stated that this was an extremely horrific terrorist act that must not be tolerated."
"The Daily Planet exclusively reported that corpses frequently appear on the streets across the East Coast. It has been confirmed that most of these corpses wearing tight clothes that suddenly appeared are street heroes from various places. The cause of death is currently unknown."
From the ever-lit giant screens in bustling commercial streets to the flickering televisions in window shops, countless news reports are repeating the terrible and sad news that their best president Bruce Wayne was killed in an unspeakable tragedy. Died during a terrorist attack.
With a click, Jason pressed the remote control, and the TV screen was switched to another program, but the news banner below continued to broadcast news of the president's assassination.
Several Robins from Schiller's universe stood in front of the TV and watched the news with serious expressions. Before Bruce went on a business trip to the Dark Universe, he specially handed over several Robins from his side to the Arkham World. Batman, they've been here for a while.
During this time, they actually didn't have much interaction with the Batman of this universe, because the Batman of the Arkham Knight universe had already become the president, and in just a few months was rated as the best in the history of the United States. The best president ever.
Of course, it is not easy to achieve this kind of results, so Batman in the Arkham Knight universe has been very busy recently. Except for the Robins chatting with this Batman when they first came here, other than that There was no more communication.
On the contrary, Nightwing, Red Robin, Barbara, and even Arkham Knight Jason in this universe have good relations with them. Although several Robins don't understand why these people don't live in Wayne Manor, but They still often get together to eat and chat, or maintain equipment.
Bruce's Robins also have their own equipment because they have grown up. Dick has gone to high school, and Jason and Tim have both entered junior high school. Although Bruce did not teach them any fighting skills or tactical thinking, But they did get a lot of weird equipment for them.
These include but are not limited to the small version of the Ark reactor that Bruce took the time to make, as well as a set of nano-folding arm armor that he drove, a staff from Kama Taj, and a staff that can freeze people in dense ice. There are small frozen pistols, small Darkseid Earth Defense Force spacecraft, a lot of usable yellow light and green light rings, feathers dropped by Michael and Uriel, etc.
What? You ask about the gear that carries the Bat title? It can only be said that the only bat equipment Bruce owns is the set of bat armor and a few batarangs that are only for ornamental value.
As soon as the Robins finished reading the Secretary of Defense's analysis of the terrorist attack, the cell phone on the coffee table rang.
"Hello, hello, this is Barbara. I am communicating with you in the clock tower base. I will connect the other three lines soon. Their respective code names are Nightwing, Arkham Knight and Robin. Please call me a prophet."
"Okay, ma'am, but I don't think there's any need for us to withhold names. I believe this line of communication is secure," Dick said.
"I'm trying to use artificial intelligence to build a firewall." Tim quickly typed on the computer and said, "But I'm not a very professional hacker. This is the artificial intelligence that Bruce used to calculate Gotham's building renovation plan. Its specialty It’s calculation, not security, but it’s probably enough.”
"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Drake."
"Just call me Tim. Madam Prophet, I believe you have collected all the information about the president's assassination now. Can you briefly talk about the important information?"
"Okay." Barbara on the other end of the communicator said: "I guess you are packing up your equipment. They also just received the communication message from the Dou Ring system. This time we will have many powerful helpers. They On the way too."
"Before you are ready, I will try my best to collect and refine the information from all sources, but it has not been completely completed so far. There are no clues about the truth, but I can take this time to tell you Tell me what happened.”
"Last night at 2:32 a.m., a major explosion occurred on the second floor of the U.S. Capitol. At that time, a photography team was filming a promotional video for the upcoming National Day, so they filmed the explosion. Judging from the performance of the explosion, The point should be in the corridor on the right, where the President's Office is located."
"Within three hours after the explosion, various systems continued to spread news to calm the public's panic. At 6 o'clock this morning, the U.S. Congress and the Alliance Bureau of Investigation jointly issued a death notice, officially announcing to the world that current U.S. President Bruce Wayne died."
“How did they report on the murderer?”
"They only emphasized that they would arrest the murderer as soon as possible, but they did not mention a word about his identity or even speculate about it. Both Yeyi and I think this is extremely abnormal."
"That's really bad news," Jason said as he zipped up his coat, "but I think we'll have more bad news soon."
"Don't be so pessimistic." Dick said to him, "I don't think Batman is really dead. This may be his plan."
"In addition." Barbara's voice with an electric sound came again, "In the picture taken by the promotional film shooting team, Superman appeared behind the exploding Capitol. In just a few seconds of video, he can be seen flying towards the Capitol at the fastest speed, but he fell."
"I processed the picture specially and magnified it about 60 times, and found that there was a very tiny luminous object, like a sharp sword, hitting Superman's chest."
"Just this time?"
"Just this time." Barbara gave an affirmative answer and said: "Superman looked very painful and fell almost immediately. During the fall, he still tried Flying towards the Capitol, but failed. "
"Where is he now?"
"No one knows." Barbara's tone lowered and said: "He is missing, but we can confirm that he is still alive. When Superman came to Gotham, Batman had monitored his physical condition. His powerful and incredible body is almost indestructible. "
Jason's uneasy premonition became stronger and stronger. He said: "The body cannot be destroyed, so what about the soul?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this." Barbara could only say this: "But if you have any guesses, you can tell us."
"This may be another bad news."
"We are never afraid of bad news." Another voice appeared in the channel, and it was obviously Nightwing from the Arkham Knight universe.
"Well, if this terrorist attack is aimed at Batman, then I think the situation can still be controlled, because this may be his political enemies, or some extremists who created the accident."
"But the news reports say that many superheroes have died one after another, and Superman has been attacked and is currently missing, so we can infer that the other party is targeting all superheroes in this universe."
"There are too many superheroes. The ideas they uphold, the scope of their activities, and the people they have been friends with or offended are completely different. Who would indiscriminately target all of them?"
This question made the channel silent for a while, but soon Robin connected to the channel and said: "Even the craziest criminals in Gotham will not indiscriminately target all heroes in a city. If someone does this, it means that he hates superheroes very much, and it also means that he is extremely evil."
"An explosion is not enough to kill Batman." A deep voice sounded in the channel. Obviously, Arkham Knight joined in. He said: "Even if he is not wearing bat armor and does not carry any equipment, after becoming president, he has arranged protective measures in all areas where he often moves. That is not an ordinary explosion. "That's right, kid, this explosion is not ordinary." A shrill voice suddenly interrupted: "Batman was not defeated by this explosion, but by another more evil thing." All members of the Bat Family were stunned. Barbara raised her voice and said, "Who are you? How did you join our channel?" "The firewall is fine." Tim said immediately: "This guy seems to have been here all the time, he even joined earlier than us." "Who are you?" Dick said, "What is your relationship with Batman?" "Of course I came earlier than you." The voice The voice said: "But it doesn't matter. Batman is in big trouble now. He is not dead yet, but he is dying soon."
Everyone stood up, and Nightwing's voice revealed deep worry, "Where are you? How do you know all this?"
"Of course you know where I am. Not long ago, each of you hugged me."
Everyone in the channel was silent for a second, but Barbara suddenly said: "Jason! Your big doll!!"
Footsteps and rustling sounds were immediately heard from the other end of the Arkham Knight's communication channel. It was obvious that he was looking for something.
"Aha! Congratulations on finding me!" The voice in the gap came from the Arkham Knight's channel again, and it seemed a little vague because of the distance.
Soon they heard a bang, as if something fell heavily to the ground, followed by crackling, and Arkham Knight's screams and curses.
"Jason, Jason, are you okay?" Barbara kept asking.
After about a few dozen seconds, Arkham Knight returned to the communication channel and said breathlessly: "I caught him, damn it, I don't know how to describe it, he looks like a bat doll that has turned into a spirit!" "I just want to hide in the bat doll and give you a hug, but I am not a doll. My name is Bat Mite, and I am glad to meet you!"
