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 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 is good for him to vent, and also good for 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 face under the other party's 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 lobby of the Justice League...
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, Penguin, 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 party did not look the same as himself, and through the appearance comparison, the other party might not even have the bloodline of the Wayne family.
So Night Owl finally concluded that in this universe, he was a person who had never been born. 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. This was too troublesome, especially since Superman and Batman had reached an alliance under his promotion, promising to concentrate on improving their strength instead of making trouble outside. Openly disobeying the orders of the leader would definitely not end well.
Then Night Owl turned his attention back to Nightwing. Maybe... before the destruction of this universe, 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 back a few pages of information, and soon saw a photo of Nightwing fighting crime in the night sky in a flashy low-cut V-neck disco uniform.
Perhaps it was the reporter who discovered the camera, Dick even stuck his butt in the air to show everyone his plump buttocks.
"..."
Why is everyone in this universe so weird? !
Night Owl was a little tired, and he closed the intelligence posts expressionlessly.
He then stood up, silently thinking about the plan to lure the Anti-Monitor, while walking towards the hall of the Crime Syndicate base.
According to the time, Speedmaster will be back soon, and while the other party's mind is confused by 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.
So 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.
Speedmaster 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 was wary, afraid, and greedy of Alexander Luthor. He had tried countless times to torture him to find out the secret of how he could kill superpowers to seize their abilities, and even wanted to inherit his power of Zansha. That's right. This is one of the main reasons why Night Owl believes that Superman never kills Alexander Luthor, not because he wants to keep Zansha to deal with the Anti-Monitor as others claim. Now Night Owl is going to take advantage of the opportunity when Batman damages Alexander Luthor's intelligence and snatch control of Alexander Luthor from him. He will decide how to use this powerful 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 has to consider whether there are other ways to prevent the Anti-Monitor from threatening his world again if his efforts to seal the channel between the two universes fail. 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 soon came to a dark hall.
Except for the seat of Super, the other seats of the seven main seats of the Crime Syndicate were empty at the moment. Night Owl walked to the table and saw that they actually carved the words "Criminal Syndicate" on the table.
It was really stupid.
Next to the seven main seats were the seats of the combat units under the main members of each Crime Syndicate.
They also came to the 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.
It was unknown when they would wake up and regain their combat power.
"All these subordinates brought here can be fed to Alexander Luther..."
Night Owl thought so as he walked over.
He saw Super stood beside his seat with his hands behind his back, with a not very smart expression on his face.
"Super."
Night Owl spoke first. He didn't rashly say anything stupid to the other party asking him to give him control of Alexander Luthor. Instead, he tried to test him first:
"How is the cooperation with Batman?"
"Very good, Night Owl. I have gained a lot."
Super stared at the other party in confusion. He didn't remember Night Owl as a person who talked nonsense.
In his memory, Thomas always talked about business.
"Did Batman pay you?"
Super 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. At that time, my strength will be further improved. What do you want to say, Night Owl? Did you call me here to talk nonsense?"
"Of course not, Super." Night Owl said: "I just came to remind you that I think your cooperation with Batman seems a little too easy."
He said, you are never someone who trusts others so easily, Super. You are never 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." Super said.
"..."
Super simply recalled the intense comfort of his storm inhaling kryptonite, and then said:
"Batman paid his due reward, and I also strengthened my strength. The key is strength, you understand? As long as my strength is strengthened, no matter what Batman is thinking, it is not enough to be afraid of."
He said: "Even if Batman uses me, it doesn't matter. 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."
Super frowned. He didn't understand what happened to Night Owl today. He suddenly asked him to come here, and then came up to talk nonsense without a beginning or an end. He didn't know what he was talking about the whole time. His IQ was too low.
Superba thought: Is Night Owl's brain broken?
Night Owl thought: Is Superba's brain broken?
After two repeated attempts, Night Owl felt that Superba's answers were very stupid.
Not only did he not mention Batman's sinister intentions, he also did not ask himself if Batman's behavior was abnormal.
He had an unusual trust in Batman, which was completely due to stupid one-way thinking.
Therefore, maybe he could try it indirectly...
The two looked at each other, and each of them felt that the other's brain was probably a little bit wrong today, so they decided to end the conversation quickly and get straight to the point.
So after saying a few more words of gossip and briefly verifying it again, Night Owl directly planned to get straight to the point:
"Superba, the most important reason I came to you this time is that I need Alexander Luthor to help me transform a weapon."
Superba almost thought he had heard it wrong.
What's going on?
Has his prestige fallen to this point now?
He has said countless times not to mention Alexander Luthor again. Does Night Owl think he is a fool?
Chaoba's anger suddenly rose up, but he showed no expression on the surface: "Keep talking, I'm listening."
