Chapter 026: Chaos in Gotham (1)
Clark puffed out his chest with pride.
Bruce nodded, unsure if he was listening, and then asked, "How did you know my true identity?"
"Oh, well, actually, a lot of people in Gotham know your true identity."
As Dane said this, Bruce's face twitched and he continued sharpening the knife.
"You see, Batman needs money for gadgets, high-tech equipment, etc."
"He goes out every night, which shows that he has enough free time."
"With money and leisure, plus the fact that Bruce Wayne just returned to Gotham, Batman started appearing, and most importantly..."
Dane looked at him strangely, "You think that if you cover the upper half of your face, no one will recognize your chin? Your beauty mark is very obvious."
The beauty mark is commonly known as dimples and chin, which is a very obvious groove on the chin.
Bruce's pace is quite deep and his personal identity is very heavy.
In fact, the villains in Gotham who didn't discover Batman's true identity were mostly because they weren't familiar with Bruce Wayne, otherwise they would have recognized him at a glance.
At that moment, after hearing Dane's analysis, Bruce's face was completely darkened and Bingshan's face was almost tense.
He could only reluctantly show his respect and said in a low voice, "What do you want to do here?"
"Do you have phlegm in your throat? Why are you speaking like this?"
Now Bruce can't hold back anymore, who are you? You're very rude to talk about people's short stories like that, you know?
"No!"
"Hey, that's the right way to speak. We're all our own people, so why pretend?"
Bruce turned around, not wanting to talk to Dane anymore.
Diana and Clark laughed at the same time, feeling that Dane was too damaged.
Only then did Dane get serious, "We're here to invite you to join the Justice League."
"Justice League? Is this a third-rate Boy Scouts organization?"
Bruce sneered disdainfully.
Dane rolled his eyes and nodded thoughtfully, "You're right, the three of us are Boy Scouts."
"But no matter what, criminals won't be caught and released like villains in a children's game, let go and caught, and go round and round..."
Bruce looked at Dane with red eyes, "What do you know! What right do you have to say that!"
Dane casually mentioned a few names, "Rachel, Barbara, Jason..."
Every time a name is said, Bruce's momentum weakens.
The cunning he pretended to be capable of quickly dissipated and he returned to having a drunken look.
"I appreciate being able to adhere to the principle of 'no killing', but the method of execution is too extreme," Dane speaks mercilessly.
"You know very well that some criminals are beyond redemption and due process of law cannot sentence them to death. That's why Gotham is so chaotic."
"This city originally lacked the determination to punish evil, which is why it needs you, Batman, to help enforce this necessary 'justice'."
Isn't the execution of the maniac killer a necessary "justice"?
These words made Clark furrow his brow and lean more towards Batman's principle of "no killing".
But his reasons are different from Batman's. Naturally, Clark doesn't like killing.
On the other hand, Diana agreed with Dane's words.
For her, the complete physical elimination of an enemy is the easiest and most effective means if necessary.
Justifiable violence is always needed, and it is precisely because ordinary people cannot carry it out that they hope "heroes" can do it for them.
Help them implement simple justice in their hearts.
"No, we can't do that..."
Bruce muttered to himself:
"We must have a final outcome to prevent ourselves from becoming criminals. If we are out of control, who else can stop us? Justice stained with blood, what kind of justice is that?"
"We have no right to take another person's life, even if they are a criminal..."
Dane approached him and whispered:
"Bruce, have you ever thought that from the first day you put on a bat-shaped battle suit to fight criminals, you were already a criminal?"
"Does the law give you the power to arrest them? Does the law give you the power to lynch?"
"You hide in this cave every day and use the monitor to spy on the privacy of the entire city. Who gave you that power?"
He snapped, "Barbara, Dick, and Jason were dragged into this, good kids, did you protect them?"
"No! You let lunatics like Joker torture and kill them."
"This is your fault!"
Bruce's eyes were glassy and he seemed deaf.
Dane stood up and looked at him:
"You shouldn't be like this. It's because the official power cannot punish crazy criminals like Joker, Riddler, and Scarecrow that you decided to show up, right?"
"Since you've already done it, since you've become Gotham's 'Dark Knight', why not go a little further?"
"Do you remember what I just said? Gotham has been too peaceful recently."
Dane's words seemed to awaken him, Bruce suddenly lifted his head and stared at him: "What do you mean?"
"Don't look at me like that, as if I have ill intentions."
"Let me ask you, based on what you know about your 'old friends', is it normal for them to be so quiet during this time?"
As soon as Dane finished speaking, as if on cue, Bruce's clock sounded an alarm.
It's from the supercomputer in the Batcave.
Usually, when this happens, it means someone is plotting something big in Gotham again.
Bruce ignored the three of them and went straight to his room.
Dane was not polite to him and took Clark and Diana to catch up with him.
Bruce saw that they were following, but still ignored them.
He pressed a certain wall in the room, recognized the palm print, and the secret room opened with an elevator inside.
Dane went up familiarly. Clark and Diana looked at each other and followed with curiosity.
