Chapter 262 Batman Wax Figure (1/2)

Herman Fisher: "...Remember, the latest Superman Lego bricks, regular toys produced by the Fisher-Pre (Fisher) toy manufacturing factory, can only be bought in toy stores with display windows."

Announcer: "Now let's get back to The Adventures of Superman..."

Listeners in front of the radio are obviously used to the advertisements interspersed in radio dramas. What's more, compared with other radio dramas, the advertisements played in "Adventures of Superman" also happen to be Superman peripheral products. This not only does not make the audience bored, but also makes it more interesting. Many people are eager to go out and buy it.

And just as they were thinking about it, this episode of "Adventures of Superman" also reached its final part.

Announcer: "After Superman left Dick Grayson, also known as Robin, in his apartment, he waited until an hour later before returning. He transformed into Clark again and took Robin's dry clothes. The two of them got into a taxi and crossed the street together. The town comes to a road across from an abandoned park, and our story meets them there.”

In order to match the broadcast of the commercial, Orson Welles deliberately deleted this section of the plot, simplifying the conversation between Clark and Robin and moving the story to the second half of the script.

Robin: "Now, what are we doing here, Mr. Kent?"

Clark Kent: "I'm not sure, Dick."

Robin: "Then why?"

Clark Kent: "Relax, do you see the building we're going to with the two big iron windows?"

After a period of running-in, Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater Company have obviously adapted to the dubbing work of radio dramas. Not only that, Orson Welles also initially showed his potential as a director in the future in his performance of the script. Talent, he wasn't entirely faithful to the script Colin had written.

Occasionally, he would add his own ideas to the story. For example, in this plot, according to Colin's design, Clark and Robin would encounter trouble during the process, and then Clark would have to secretly appear as Superman. Solved, Orson Welles decisively deleted this plot, allowing the entire story to develop at a faster pace.

Of course, Orson Welles would also specifically ask Colin for his opinions before revising it.

After getting his approval, I started to delete the script.

Although Orson Welles had the initiative, he also knew that in the radio drama "Adventures of Superman", Colin was the one with absolute dominance and was not someone he could easily offend.

Robin: "Hmm, it looks like a high-end hotel, but we can't get in. What kind of place is that?"

Clark Kent: "There's a little bit of writing left on the brick above the window, do you see that?"

Robin: "Oh yeah, Zoltans Wax Museum, Zoltans?!"

Clark Kent: "Keep your voice down."

As the clues in the play were revealed, the audience in front of the radio subconsciously held their breath, fearing that their actions would expose Superman and Robin in the play.

Robin: "That's the name I heard before, or at least what I thought it was."

Clark Kent: "You see, this is the crux of the matter. You can't be sure, but this is the only clue we have at the moment. Zoltans, who owns this wax museum, is the only person named in the entire phone book and city address book. "The person with this name."

Robin: "But what do the people in the wax museum have to do with Batman's disappearance?"

Clark Kent: "We really don't know if he has anything to do with it, but like I said this is the only clue, so here we go."

Robin: "Where?"

Clark Kent: "I want to look through the window..."

A series of footsteps sounded in the radio drama, while the conversation between Superman and Robin continued.

Robin: "But it's too dark in here and you can't see anything."

Clark Kent: "Fortunately, my vision in the dark is pretty good. The little light from the streetlight behind us is enough. Now let's take a look.

"

Facing Robin's hesitation, Superman or Kent said in a very calm tone.

Clark Kent: "Well, it's just a bunch of life-size wax figures standing in it."

Robin: "Yeah, I saw them too, all dressed up. They look weird in the dark, don't they?"

During the conversation, Superman seemed to notice something strange.

Clark Kent: "Hmm, a little weird?"

Robin: "What's the matter, Mr. Kent?"

Clark Kent: "This wax figure looks familiar, but I can't remember whose it is?"

Robin: "I can't remember, oh, no, God, look!"

Just when the two were confused, Robin suddenly let out a exclamation.

Robin: "On the left, by the window..."

Clark Kent: "What's wrong, Dick?"

Following Robin's exclamation, Superman looked.

Robin: "It's Batman!"

Clark Kent: "Batman?!"

Robin: "Yes, that's right, Batman!"

Clark Kent: "Ah, I saw it, but...it's just that he's a wax figure..."

Announcer: "Clark Kent was startled, and his eyes followed Dick Grayson's trembling fingers to see the silent, life-size wax figure of the missing Batman. What did it mean?"

Announcer: "Friends, there is an amazing development waiting for you and Superman at 8 o'clock on Tuesday night, so don't miss it. At the same time, on the same frequency, listen to the next exciting chapter - "Superman Adventures"!"

Announcer: "It has incredible and unbelievable adventure features, faster than a flying bullet..."

Passerby A: "Look at the sky!"

...

With the familiar ending of the announcer, the new issue of "Superman Adventures" came to an end, and the listeners in front of the radio were still immersed in the plot of the story.

Batman's disappearance and the wax figure of Batman that appeared in the wax museum all aroused the curiosity of the listeners in front of the radio.

The next day, CBS received a large number of letters from readers, asking about the follow-up of the radio drama story, what happened to Batman, and whether Superman finally rescued the superhero.

Faced with the letters from listeners, CBS Radio also expressed a helpless attitude.

The script of "Superman Adventures" was completely written by Colin, and even the radio station itself did not receive the script of the latest episode, so naturally it could not reveal too much to the listeners. However, these endless letters from listeners also put great pressure on CBS Radio, letting them know the popularity of "Superman Adventures". ….

Once CBS loses its cooperation with Colin, the losses behind it will be difficult to calculate.

This is why CBS Radio deliberately broadcast Fisher-Price's Superman Lego toy advertisement in this episode of the radio drama, in order to stabilize the relationship with Colin.

After seeing the latest revenue curve chart of the radio station, CBS finally made a decision.

...

"'Tony Stark, sir, people are coming..."

Anti-world, Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, inside the resistance base.

When Colin first heard Doreen Green's invitation, he was also a little surprised, but when he glanced at the base, he understood it and readily agreed.

"Huh~"

In the training ground, looking at Colin behind Doreen Green, 'Tony Stark also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had already prepared for this day, when it really came, 'Tony Stark still felt his heartbeat speed up a little.

"Who do you think will win?"

In the resistance base, the plane man glanced at the nervous 'Tony Stark in front of him, and couldn't help turning his head to ask Jessica beside him.

"Of course..."

Jessica twisted the wine cap easily with her thumb, and said with a firm face: "Of course it's Colin."

As someone who witnessed the opponent's overwhelming power in the Thunderbolts base, Jessica has a full understanding of Colin's power. She doesn't think there is anything in the world that can threaten him.

Hearing this, the plane man nodded, obviously agreeing with Jessica's point of view.

Although he didn't witness Colin's battle in the Thunderbolts prison, he could feel that Tony Stark was not in the same league as the opponent.

Moreover, when Tony Stark just woke up, he was easily suppressed by Colin.

"So, Tony Stark, why challenge Colin?"

After spending some time together in the rebel base, they certainly did not completely accept Tony Stark, but their attitude towards him was not as resistant as it was at the beginning. At least among the groups that joined the rebels not long ago, the relationship between them and Nick Fury or Howard was not as close as Hawkeye.

The reason why they opposed Howard's biochemical experiment with Nick Fury before was only because of Nick Fury's deliberate contact and their concerns or instinctive fears about this experiment.

After all, when they were in the secret prison of the Thunderbolts, the researchers in the prison had secretly conducted experiments on these prisoners.

"Who knows..."

Shrugging, Jessica raised the bottle and took a sip of it, smacked her lips and swept over Tony Stark in the base, then turned her head to look at Colin on the side, and replied nonchalantly.

"Maybe he suddenly lost his mind and wanted to be beaten."

Jessica's answer was obviously a little unreliable, but looking at Tony Stark not far away, the plane man suddenly felt that this might really be his wish. ....

Otherwise, why did Tony Stark suddenly come to Colin?

...

"So, Tony Stark has regained his strength?"

In front of the control console, Nick Fury looked at Tony Stark on the screen, turned his head and looked at Howard beside him and asked.

The so-called power in Nick Fury's mouth naturally refers to the body of 'Tony Stark', that is, the power of HunToh (Human Torch) that burns when it comes into contact with oxygen.

This is the power of the Human Torch, but not of 'Tony Stark'.

Therefore, after working with Dr. Pym, Howard used a special brain wave simulation device to make him deliberately forget this ability.

"No."

Shaking his head, Howard replied in a hoarse voice.

Howard's answer made Nick Fury's only intact eye corner raise a little. He looked at the nervous but somewhat confident appearance on the screen and asked in surprise: "Then why did he dare to challenge Colin?"

"Because he is Tony."

Facing Nick Fury's doubts, Howard's cold mouth corners slightly moved, revealing a fleeting smile: "From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the one who refuses to admit defeat. Even if the opponent this time is so strong that he cannot be defeated, it does not hinder his courage to challenge."

Noticing the change in Howard's expression, Nick Fury opened his mouth, but in the end did not say anything.

He knew very well that even if he reminded the other party that the 'Tony Stark in front of him was not Tony Stark, the other party would not take it to heart.

...

After taking the initiative to bring Colin to the training ground for 'Tony Stark' and completing his own duties, Doreen Green obediently gave up her position and approached the direction where Peter was.

"Aunt May, how is your injury recovering?"

Coming to Peter, Doreen Green asked May Parker beside her affectionately, and the monkey on her shoulder squeaked to express her concern.

"It's almost recovered."

Hearing Doreen Green's concern, May Parker smiled and nodded.

The superhuman physique given by the mutant spider allowed May Parker to go from needing crutches to being able to walk normally in just a few days.

Hearing that May Parker's body recovered well, Doreen Green grinned and showed a sincere smile, and then excitedly approached Peter to discuss with him.

As the only two peers of the same age in the resistance base, Doreen Green was obviously very happy to talk with Peter, and the latter was also very interested in Doreen Green, the young superhero.

After all, except Doreen Green, everyone in the resistance base was very friendly, but they always treated him as a child.

Only Doreen Green was willing to treat him as an equal.

Doreen Green: "Well, Peter, who do you think will win?"

Peter: "I don't know, but I know that Mr. Tony Stark is secretly researching a very powerful secret weapon. Since he dared to invite Mr. Colin, he must be sure of it."

"Secret weapon, how come I don't know?"

"Hehe, I also accidentally learned a little from Mr. Tony Stark. Later, no matter how I asked, Mr. Tony Stark was unwilling to reveal more."
