Chapter 1397 The World Line Is Greatly Distorted
Facing countless reporters who were eagerly waiting for the big news to come out, Bruce Wayne looked solemn. He first glanced at the traitor who was standing side by side with Lex Luthor and worked together in a collusive manner. He secretly gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. , said: "Originally, when I held this private banquet today, I wanted to announce an important internal matter about the Wayne family to my business partners and close friends, but unfortunately, something went wrong. The result was not as I expected. Then I could only change my mind temporarily and invite friends from the media to announce an important decision in public."
Bruce's original idea was to persuade Damian to return to the Bat-Family. He didn't even plan to arrange for his son with outstanding abilities and first-rate intelligence to be a mere Robin follower. Instead, he wanted to directly recruit him to join the Justice League as the future Batman. Cultivate vigorously.
Presumably the other important core members of the Justice League will not object. After all, Damian once pressed them to the ground and rubbed them. No one doubts that this kid's mind and ability are insufficient. Compared with the original Damian, the enhanced version of Damian He also showed leadership ability, being able to command a second-rate vassal team like the Teen Titans to easily complete difficult tasks that even the Justice League could not complete.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Damian must give up his terrible concept of "killing to save others" and abide by the Justice League superhero rule of not killing.
As long as Damian is willing to nod and make the same "no-kill oath", Bruce is even willing to hand over everything to him to inherit, including the Wayne family's billions of wealth, Batman's fame, and the leadership of the Justice League... He I believe that Damian, who abides by his oath not to kill, will definitely become a new generation of Batman that is even better than him.
The purpose of the social banquet held today is that if everything goes well, Bruce plans to publicly announce the news that he has found his long-lost son, introduce Damian to his friends and business partners, and officially establish the Damian Wayne family. The identity of the heir.
However, the ideal is full, but the reality is cruel. His rebellious son inherited his advantages of intelligence, calmness, wisdom, perseverance and sinisterness. He also inherited the shortcomings of paranoia and stubbornness and defended them to the death. He believes that his beliefs are correct but he ignores family ties and never wavers.
Even without genetic testing, Bruce could tell that this little kid was his son, and his fierceness was so much like him.
When it comes to the battle of ideas, maybe Damian has his own idea of creating a perfect world, but as the saying goes, the route is wrong. The greater the ability, the more reactionary. Bruce Wayne can only choose to make every effort and fight against the traitor at any cost. in the end.
The reporters held their breath. Their professional sensitivity made them vaguely aware that they would definitely collect some breaking news today.
"Everyone should also know during this time that the federal government and the military have taken special operations against Gotham City. I have criticized this bloody policy that disregards human rights and causes unnecessary killings several times before, but my identity is just a businessman. It cannot affect the decisions made by the Gotham City Government to cooperate with the federal government."
Bruce Wayne continued: "I went to meet many family members of suspects who were killed for resisting arrest. Among them were gray-haired old mothers, young girls who were just pregnant, and children who were babbling... They were just a group of sad people. Ordinary people who have lost loved ones and loved ones who love them do not even dare to express their grief too obviously, because public opinion believes that their loved ones deserve to die, and die happily!"
Bruce was very eloquent, and he was much more eloquent when he was a businessman than when he was Batman. His words caused everyone present to think deeply, and the banquet hall fell silent.
After a pause, Bruce continued: "It is true that the police have formulated a set of rules for resisting arrest with force, and the government also supports the police's response, believing that this can better protect the safety of law enforcement officers and the public. But I think we have still done a lot It's not good enough, but it can be done better. After all, everyone has experienced the worst day, been driven almost crazy by life, and made wrong decisions in a flash. Once they die, they will never be able to do it again. There is no way to repent and correct the mistakes they made. We should see clearly the fact that behind the 672 criminals killed by the super police, there are 672 broken families. Those who were killed can Repentant people, not irredeemable monsters!”
Many "conscientious" journalists nodded frequently, hoping that the media people with the strongest left-wing ideas in China would be the ones who like to go against the government and authority on human rights, religion and clan topics. Bruce's words resonated with them. .
"As a native Gothamite, although I don't want more than 600 gun-toting criminals wandering the streets of Gotham City, I believe there are better ways to make them put down their guns, atone for their sins, make amends, and finally return to their families. Beside me, instead of watching more than six hundred broken families who have lost their loved ones, crying silently.”
With tears in his eyes, Bruce said with emotion: "As a businessman, I can do nothing but appeal, and appeals cannot change the behavioral rules of the super police at all, cannot prevent more families from being broken, and more likely to be broken." Those who repent are slaughtered like animals!”
Speaking of this, Bruce said one word at a time: "I have to stand up and do something. This is my obligation as a person with conscience, a believer who believes that God will redeem sinners, and it is an obligation given to me by God. Holy mission!
Therefore, I declare that I will run as a Democratic candidate in the upcoming presidential election of the country of hope. If I become president, I will definitely find better ways and develop a more rigorous system to prevent crime, rather than simply Kill them all! "
Upon hearing the news that business tycoon Bruce Wayne announced his candidacy for president, the reporters in the audience were in an uproar and noisy. Many on-location hosts couldn't help but want to rush forward and interview him immediately.
Bradlow's eyes widened in shock. When he broke the fourth wall, he had a rough overview of the plot lines of the DC universe, but he never remembered any Bruce Wayne from the parallel universe who ran for and was elected. President of the country, the development of the plot line has deviated from the planned trajectory and drifted towards an unknown future branch!
"Friends from the media, please be patient. I have another important news to announce. Believe me, this news is even more exciting and can fill the headlines of your media."
Bruce glanced at the astonished Bredlow coldly, pressed his hand to appease the turbulent reporters, and continued: "As a presidential candidate, I should release all my past experiences and some personal privacy including tax records. There can be no deception to the electors. In order to prevent my opponents from digging up my so-called 'black history' to fatally attack me during the critical period of my election, I will now reveal my other hidden identity to the public... "
As he spoke, he took out a black leather mask and put it on his head. With a hoarse voice, he said majestically and slowly: "I love Bateman!"
The banquet hall suddenly became a mess. The scene was no different from when Tony Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man to reporters. The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic. The media reporters went crazy almost at the same time.
"Crack!"
Bredero, who was eating melon on the side, could no longer take it calmly. He accidentally used too much force and crushed the juice glass in his hand. The strawberry juice splashed and dyed his white dress red, but he was still unaware.
