Chapter 357 Super: Do You Think I’m an Idiot?
This is the base of Night Owl.
The Outsider has left the secret base of Night Owl.
As the person Night Owl trusts the most, he is also the only person Night Owl can trust after Dick Drayson, the "Claw", died at the hands of the Joker.
(Note: Dick Grayson, the superhero Nightwing, the former first-generation Robin, is still Night Owl's subordinate on Earth 3, codenamed Claw.)
The Outsider is responsible for helping Night Owl coordinate the entire plan. It is not easy to lead the Anti-Monitor to this new universe and then close the door connecting the two universes. The Outsider has a lot of things to do.
So at this time, in the huge room, only Night Owl was sitting there quietly.
Thomas Wayne Jr. let out a long breath.
He raised his head and looked at the ceiling in a trance.
Then he tapped the screen for a while, and soon a photo of Batman Bruce Wayne appeared on the Owl computer.
Rows and rows of psychological analysis and targeted data soon appeared in front of Night Owl, but Thomas didn't look at the data that he had read countless times, but stared at the stern man.
That was his younger brother, Bruce Wayne. Night Owl often wondered if his younger brother had not been so soft-hearted and decisively shot and killed his parents who controlled the Gotham underworld, then would they...
Although Night Owl's expression did not change at all, he showed a little sadness.
After ruling Gotham City for so many years, Night Owl never showed such emotions in front of outsiders, even in front of Alfred, an outsider.
As the ruler of Gotham, he must be ruthless enough. He is an arbitrary and dictatorial monarch and should not show weakness in front of his subjects, even the most trusted subjects. Those past feelings should not appear in his dictionary. In the eyes of others, Night Owl will always be the emotionless monster.
But when alone, when alone... Night Owl always lets himself fall into these emotions, which helps him vent, and also helps him...
Become cold and ruthless when necessary, and will not be affected by these emotions at all.
So now... please allow him to be sad, just sad, like the first drop of rain in Gotham in late autumn, full of the sorrow and...
Then Night Owl turned to the next page of information about Batman, and the shadow of the bat laughing wildly on the screen instantly interrupted his feelings.
The half of the other party's face under the bat mask turned pale, and the corners of his mouth twisted up to his ears, revealing bright red gums and white teeth.
In an instant, there was no sadness. Damn it, this man who opened his mouth and laughed wildly was definitely not my brother.
In this universe, his soft-hearted, cowardly, kind brother, combined with Night Owl's former greatest enemy, the Joker, and became a new dangerous enemy.
"..."
Page by page, Batman's laughing expression in different occasions was everywhere.
In Gotham City, on the streets of Metropolis, in the Justice League Hall...
There is even a picture of Batman using a rope as a chain, putting it around the Joker's neck and leashing him like a dog. It is a scene-reconstruction painting drawn by someone based on his memory.
Night Owl turned off the intelligence expressionlessly.
Then he turned on Nightwing's. Nightwing, Dick Grayson, a parallel universe version of Claw.
Looking at the young face of the other hidden under the eye mask, the face of Thomas Wayne Jr., Night Owl, softened a little.
He admitted that he was a little biased, but the Claw of their universe filled all the few emotions of Night Owl to a large extent.
The relationship between Claw Dick and Night Owl is no longer just a king and a knight, a foster father and a foster son. He has become a kind of compensation for Night Owl. He poured his guilt for the accidental death of his brother Bruce Wayne in his plan to murder his evil underworld parents into Claw Dick, which made Dick's meaning to him so different.
But in the end, Claw Dick died. Died at the hands of the Joker, and Night Owl was heartbroken.
But now he met an isotope from a parallel universe... a brand new Dick Grayson.
Night Owl knew very well that this Dick was not his Dick, but... so what?
Night Owl carefully checked the intelligence that Nightwing had been fighting crime in Gotham instead of Batman.
He led the part of the Arkham people who surrendered to Batman, Mr. Freeze, the Penguin, the Ventriloquist, and many claws...
There was once a man named Lincoln March who also obeyed Nightwing's command, but later this man left without saying goodbye and no one knew where he ran to. Even Night Owl's intelligence network could not find his data.
The reason why Night Owl noticed this man named Lincoln March before was because he found that the other party was likely to be his own isotope in this universe, but after carefully comparing the other party's appearance, he overturned this result.
The other person didn't look like him at all, and by comparing their appearances, it was even possible that the other person didn't even have the Wayne family bloodline.
So Night Owl finally concluded that he was a person who had never been born in this universe. Lincoln March, who was suspected to be Batman's brother, was just an imposter.
This result satisfied Night Owl, otherwise he would have to spend time killing his own counterpart to ensure that he was unique, which was really too troublesome, especially since Superman and Batman had reached an alliance under his promotion, promising to concentrate on improving their strength instead of openly disobeying the leader's orders while making trouble outside, which would definitely not end well.
Then Night Owl turned his attention back to Nightwing. Maybe... before this universe was destroyed, he could take Nightwing away. The child had died for him, and now it was time to repay him.
Although he was no longer called Claw, but Nightwing, Night Owl had confidence in himself. As survivors of another universe, Nightwing and himself would rebuild the world that had become a ruin.
His eyes lingered on Nightwing, and then he flipped through a few pages of information, and soon saw a photo of Nightwing wearing a flashy low-cut V-neck disco uniform and fighting crime in the night sky.
Perhaps it was because the reporter discovered the camera, Dick even stuck his butt in the air, showing everyone his plump buttocks.
"..."
Why is everyone in this universe so weird? !
Nightowl was a little tired, and he closed the intelligence posts expressionlessly.
Then he stood up, thinking silently about the plan to attract the Anti-Monitor, while walking towards the lobby of the Crime Syndicate base.
Calculating the time, Speedmaster will be back soon, and while the other party's brain is not clear because of Batman, he should implement his plan.
He must force the Anti-Monitor to stay in this new universe for a long enough time, long enough for him to close the channel between the two earths, instead of the Anti-Monitor coming and killing everyone in seconds, and then after destroying this new earth, he comes back and destroys Earth 3 without martial ethics.
Therefore, it is important to keep enough combat power on this earth that can temporarily fight against the Anti-Monitor, and Alexander Luthor, who is imprisoned by the Crime Syndicate, is one of the most important targets.
Superman is the main person who led the defeat and imprisonment of Alexander Luthor. For a long time, he has always firmly held the control of Alexander Luthor in his own hands and does not allow anyone else to interfere.
He is wary, afraid and greedy of Alexander Luthor. He has tried countless times to torture him to find out the secret of how he can kill superpowers to seize the other's abilities, and even wants to inherit the other's power of Zansha-
That's right. This is one of the main reasons why Night Owl believes that Superman never kills Thunder Zansha Alexander Luthor. It is not that he keeps Zansha to deal with the Anti-Monitor as others claim.
And now Night Owl will take advantage of the opportunity that the other party's IQ is damaged by Batman to snatch the control of Thunder Zansha Alexander Luthor from the other party, and let him decide how to use this amazing weapon without hurting himself.
"If there is any way to detonate this universe and bury the Anti-Monitor directly in the entire universe..."
While reviewing his plan, Night Owl thought absentmindedly.
The Anti-Monitor has the ability to travel through parallel universes. Night Owl had to consider if his efforts to seal the channel between the two universes failed, is there any other way to prevent the Anti-Monitor from threatening his world again?
But now these are just ideas. Night Owl quickly shook his head. Now is not the time to think about these.
He walked along the corridor and quickly walked into a dark hall.
The seven main seats of the Crime Syndicate, except for the seat of the Super, the rest of the seats were empty at the moment. Night Owl walked to the table and saw that they actually engraved the words "Crime Syndicate" on the table.
It's really stupid.
Next to the seven main seats, there are seats arranged for the combat units under the main members of each Crime Syndicate.
They also came to a new world with the Crime Syndicate, but like the most useless Sea Tyrant among the many giants of the Syndicate, they were all seriously injured in the process of traveling through the universe, so they had to be placed in a petri dish to recuperate and maintain their lives.
When they wake up and regain their fighting power, it is unknown when they will be.
"All these men brought here can be fed to Alexander Luthor..."
While thinking so, Night Owl walked over.
He saw Superman standing beside his seat with his hands behind his back, with a not very smart expression on his face.
"Superman."
Night Owl spoke first. He did not rashly say anything stupid to the other party asking him to give him the control of Alexander Luthor, but first tried:
"How is the cooperation with Batman?"
"Very good, Night Owl. I have gained a lot."
Superman stared at him in confusion. He didn't remember that Night Owl was the kind of person who talked nonsense.
In his memory, Thomas always talked about business.
"Did Batman pay you what you deserve?"
Superman frowned.
What's wrong with this tone of coaxing a child?
So he continued to be patient:
"Of course. He will give me super speed. My strength will be further improved by then. What do you want to say, Night Owl? Did you call me here to talk nonsense?"
"Of course not, Superman." Night Owl said: "I just came to remind you that I think your cooperation with Batman seems a little too easy."
He said, you have never been so easy to trust others, Superman. You have never been driven by others. But now look at what we are doing, don't you think Batman is using the so-called covenant to manipulate you?
"Not at all." Superman said.
"..."
Superhero briefly recalled the intense comfort of his stormy inhalation of kryptonite, and then said:
"Batman paid his dues, and I also strengthened my strength. The key is strength, do you understand? As long as my strength is strengthened, no matter what Batman is thinking, he is not afraid."
He said: "It doesn't matter even if Batman uses me. If we want to take over this universe, guys like Eclipse are also dangerous characters that need to be eliminated."
"Cooperating with Batman to solve the magic monster is to clear the obstacles for future rule. If you just come to remind me of this, I think our conversation can end."
Superhero frowned. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with Night Owl today. He suddenly asked him here, and then came up to talk nonsense without a beginning or an end. He didn't know what was going on. His IQ was too low.
Superhero thought: Is Night Owl's brain broken?
Night Owl thought: Is Superhero's brain broken?
After repeated attempts, Night Owl felt that Superhero's answers were very stupid.
Not only did he not mention Batman's sinister intentions, he also did not ask himself if there was anything unusual about Batman's behavior.
He had an unusual trust in Batman, which was completely due to stupid one-way thinking.
Therefore, maybe he could try to attack it indirectly...
The two looked at each other, and each of them felt that the other's head was probably a little bit off today, so they decided to end the conversation quickly and get straight to the point.
So after saying a few more small talk and briefly verifying it again, Night Owl planned to get straight to the point:
"Super, the most important reason I came to you this time is that I need Alexander Luthor to help me transform a weapon."
Super almost thought he had heard it wrong.
What happened?
Has his prestige fallen to this point now?
He has said countless times not to mention Alexander Luthor again. Does Night Owl take him for an idiot?
Super's inner anger suddenly rose, but he did not show any expression on the surface:
"Go on, I'm listening."
