Chapter 537 It's Fine if You Don't Die
It's not surprising that Tony would have such an idea, and to some extent, the two are often compared together.
Both Iron Man and Batman are sons of rich families. Both of them have amazing wealth and super wisdom;
In addition, the positioning in the superhero group also has a certain overlap: both of them bear the logistics of the entire team to a certain extent.
A little difference is that the team commander in the Avengers is generally Captain America Steve Rogers. Although Tony Stark has a strong IQ, he is not considered top-notch in combat; and most of the Justice League is bats. Xia is responsible for making plans.
At the same time, Batman is the only superhero in the DC world who stands at the pinnacle as a mortal, and Tony Stark has also been an ordinary person relying on equipment for a long time (the movie universe has always been ordinary humans, the comic world has been enhanced with the Extremis virus).
Just because of Ethan's mixing, Iron Man's development trajectory has undergone tremendous changes. Today's Tony Stark is very different from the 'original' Tony Stark, but it does not reduce his love for Batman. Curious, especially Batman's insistence on being a superhero as a mortal for so long.
Batman is a character standing on the top of superheroes, and he has participated in countless major incidents. In the process of solving so many crises, Bruce Wayne encountered many opportunities to "change himself", but he never I didn't choose these means to make myself stronger.
Bruce Wayne is determined to be an ordinary person, walking in the dark with an ordinary body and doing various dangerous jobs. Tony wonders if the Bruce Wayne in front of him will have this kind of persistence? In the face of opportunities that can make yourself better, will you give up so calmly?
If it's just a comic, maybe it's a 'batman selling point', now this is a real person, living in a real world, without those 'commercial factors', Bruce Wayne will still insist on this ?
Tony asked himself that he would definitely not refuse, just like he would take the initiative to learn magic with Ethan and use strengthening potions to make himself stronger.
From the current point of view, Bruce Wayne is not overly obsessed with those things. Now he is still working hard to learn all the knowledge that can improve himself, and ask Tony for advice on everything he is curious about.
Ethan didn't take part in the teaching of the two, nor did he take part in Bruce Wayne's actions at night.
After creating a new bat suit and optimizing it to a certain extent, Bruce Wayne has already begun to execute the first step of his plan-targeting Falconi, the most notorious gang leader in Gotham, as a The first act of Batman's birth can be a good name for Batman and deter all the villains in Gotham.
Tony Stark didn't get involved in these things either. He didn't think much of the evil forces of the local gangs. In the Marvel universe, he aimed at relatively large threats, such as Hydra's intention to control humans, aliens, etc. The aliens invaded the earth and so on. Occasionally a big villain did some violent evil deeds. If he was in a good mood or when he was in a bad mood, he would also help out.
As for the gangs entrenched in various cities? Or leave it to the local police.
But considering the situation in the city of Gotham...
Seeing Bruce Wayne return to the Batcave, he began to organize his equipment and check some bumpy injuries on his body. Tony found that these small injuries on Bruce's body were getting less and less.
"Your progress is amazing."
Bruce Wayne still has the body of an ordinary person, and he lacks enough experience. Even if he is fully equipped, he has been optimized according to some teachings from Tony, but this does not mean that he will not make mistakes. .
Especially when landing from a high altitude, bumps and bumps are quite normal. Bruce Wayne grew up through "collisions" again and again-of course, Tony has a "collection" of these precious video materials.
So far, the injuries on Bruce's body have been reduced by more than half compared to the beginning. Maybe it won't be long before he can become the one who puts on equipment and goes out at any time, and then solves the problem without a hair. Batman with few flowers and riches.
Tony also ruthlessly passed the addiction of a mentor, and even personally instructed Bruce Wayne to make the first new bat suit with a variety of high-tech.
This set of equipment looks basically the same as the first set of bat suits, but there is a small computer on the forearm, which can perform various functions such as communication, radio, thermal imaging, recording and displaying maps, and password cracking. The material makes this small computer very strong and can be used as a shield for defense when necessary.
At the same time, there is a small injection device hidden in the gauntlet. Although limited by the relationship between energy and space, this injection device can only last for a very short time (if it is fully output, it will run out of fuel in a few seconds), but when it is critical, the injection device A lot of things can be changed at once, such as emergency adjustments when using a paraglider, or used to slow down when falling.
There are also a lot of equipment on the feet, plus sonic weapons, small electric shock devices, etc., coupled with Bruce Wayne's stealth technology... With the cover of darkness, the current Bruce Wayne is no longer something ordinary people can deal with exists.
However, Bruce insists on not using lethal weapons, and not killing people is still the bottom line he sticks to—because the current Bruce Wayne has not yet understood the supreme law of "it doesn't matter if you are paralyzed, as long as you don't die", so now he still has a little Not sure how to start should be appropriate.
This caused him to suffer a lot in the next few actions. Although Ethan didn't say anything about this situation, Tony couldn't help but started to complain.
"Why can't you make a big move?"
"I'm worried about killing them by mistake."
"So what? Could it be that the other party will show gratitude to you if you attack lightly? Look at these wounds on your body. These are the gifts they give in return."
Tony shook his head. He never considered the issue of holding hands when fighting—especially when targeting Hydra soldiers, he blasted past the missile palm energy cannon, and he didn't hold back much. possible.
At the same time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with killing those guys? What else can these lunatics do if they don't kill them? Is it possible to say that they have surrendered by talking about it?
Of course Bruce Wayne is not so naive, there is a reason why he insists on not killing heavy hand.
"Because I don't want to become an existence without a bottom line."
Not killing people is a warning line he drew for himself, and he tries hard to control himself not to break through this line.
But now he is facing an embarrassing situation-Batman has indeed begun to have a certain reputation, but the villains still don't take him seriously.
"Because you didn't really frighten them, they now just see you as a psycho in a fancy dress, a madman, a nuisance...but that's all."
Bruce turned his head to look at Ethan. He felt that this young man who had been silent all this time could answer the questions in his heart.
"So what should I do to scare them?"
"There are many ways to make people feel scared, the simplest of which is to make them feel pain..."
Even if Ethan doesn't say it, Bruce will understand this in the future, it just takes some time.
"Many little gangsters have nothing but themselves. If you want them to be afraid, you have to let them understand that if they are caught by Batman, they will suffer great pain."
"Violence?"
Bruce doesn't advocate violence, but violence is indeed the most effective method sometimes, especially for these guys who have nothing. Apart from directly hurting their bodies with violence, other means will not scare them at all.
"Why do many wicked people resolutely subdue when facing another evil person, but they are very tough when facing a good person?"
Ethan spread his hands.
"If you want to use fear to deter villains, you must first understand this, and then be determined to be a villain."
Batman may be a righteous, and in some ways a good guy.
But in the eyes of the bad guys, he must become a devil and use the cruelest means to punish those people, otherwise Batman will never be a deterrent in the hearts of the bad guys.
Doing so will inevitably cause some people to attack, which is one reason why Batman is called the Dark Knight: in addition to often haunting the dark, in the eyes of these people, Batman's behavior is too evil! Simply unforgivable!
But Bruce Wayne doesn't care about these things. When he decided to become Batman, he had already expected this day.
After Bruce Wayne returned in the next few days, his injuries were much less, and at the same time, there were some changes in the outside world about Batman.
The cause of the incident was that compared to the previous criminals who were just knocked down and left at the crime scene, this time all of them were seriously injured and thrown to the gate of the police station. The least injured also had several fractures.
In addition, Falconi, who was supposed to be tied to the headlight in the original plot, suffered minor injuries and fright at most, this time he was seriously injured in countless places, and he could hardly find a good place. He is still lying in the ward I can't move.
Batman, who beat Falconi violently and used Falconi's experience to warn other villains in Gotham, unexpectedly got some new information:
Falconi is serving a mysterious and powerful force, secretly transporting some special things to Gotham. Dr. Jonathan Klein is the liaison between him and that force, and the Arkham that the doctor runs What secrets does the hospital seem to be hiding?
