Can you retire today?

one year later.

The aftermath of Zod's incident has almost subsided. Secretly, the government's research on aliens has intensified, especially the "Superman" who appeared with Zod's disappearance a year ago. Many people know his identity. He is the original Kal-El that Zod was looking for.

Zod's crisis seemed to be solved by him at the beginning, but the government did not give him any trust because of this. After all, the trust of politicians sounds like a cold joke, not to mention that Zod was provoked by him, and it is not reasonable for him to solve it. As it should be!

The strength he showed when saving people was even more unbelievable, and they even set up a special department for him.

But what is a little puzzling is that the other party has shown his whole face generously, but they can't find out the other party's identity on the earth even if they live or die. Even if they use satellites to monitor, they will always encounter various This kind of trouble, they have reason to suspect that the other party is still a very good hacker. (Batman's hidden merits and fame ▼▼)

In terms of force, they can't do anything to him for the time being, so they turn their attention to public opinion. Fortunately, the opponent is not invulnerable, for example, he sometimes causes super high battle damage...

But just after he saved Gotham's Bruce Wayne once, the other party was willing to pay for his war damage for a long time in order to repay him, and even set up a special fund. Is Wayne a Gotham man? ! !

After Tony learned of what Bruce had done for Superman, he made a special phone call to shut up (mock) Xin (laugh) him, and asked him if he planned to follow the Eastern saying of "life-saving grace, promise with your body".

The veins on Bruce's forehead would have popped out at the time, if it weren't for helping that stupid Kryptonian clean up.He, Bruce Wayne, Prince of Gotham, Batman, how could he encounter something that needs "rescue"!

He remembered this account!Just wait, Tony, one day, he'll come back laughing.And that stupid alien rescue dog, will never learn to handle it with care! ! !

During this year, he never stopped his night patrol. Although it was very hard work, seeing Gotham's gradually decreasing crime rate, he felt that all his efforts were worthwhile.

When Bruce came back with injuries all over his body, Alfred couldn't help but exploded.

"Master, maybe you should learn how to protect yourself!"

He even wanted to forget all the etiquette and smash the medicine box in front of Bruce to show his anger. He even wanted to tie Bruce back to the room, let him have a good rest, and stay away from the Batman set uniform.

Over the past year, Bruce's rest time has become shorter and shorter, and he often does not rest for a minute for several days in a row. The fear of the criminals, Bruce is personally involved, because it is difficult to make people fear if too much technology is used.

Bruce felt Alfred's anger and worry, but what could he do, he was on a road that could only go forward but not back, and he didn't want to go back.

With a little more time and energy, some people can gain peace and survival.

"Alf, you're like telling a girl who just had a boyfriend," Bruce said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it's just a small injury."

"Yeah, a small injury." Alfred responded, looking at the deep bone wound on Bruce's body.

"Then what is considered a serious injury?!"

"..." Bruce was silent, maybe it was death, but he would not tell Alfred, he didn't want to make this old man who watched him grow up sad.

Alfred sighed, "I hope you can protect yourself when you date Gotham, Miss Wayne."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to help Bruce treat the wound. What could he do? Of course, the young master whom he spoiled could only continue to spoil him.

Bruce's body is covered with large and small scars, some of which were injured during his training, but most of them were obtained by him in Gotham.

During this year, he not only had to patrol at night, but also to avoid the pursuit of the police station. While dealing with the underworld, he also had to find relevant clues about his parents being shot and killed, restore the death penalty, build Gotham, donate to charity, and beauties. Dates... big and small things keep him busy, and he has to wipe the ass of the alien rescue dog from time to time.

Since the end of the Zod incident a year ago, Clark has officially appeared in front of people. The Planet Daily called him "Superman", and he did not refute it. Gradually, the title of Superman has become synonymous with him.

Many people know that as long as you shout "Superman" when you encounter difficulties, he will come to help you immediately. He has traveled all over the world, but the place where he stops most is the metropolis, where, Even a kitten can get his help if it can't get up and down a tree.

People gave him a lot of praise, "the son of the metropolis", "the god of the world"... People worship him, sing praises to him, and even believe in him.

But nothing is perfect. Some people praise him, while others criticize or even hate and hate him.

But love him or hate him, no one can deny his great strength, handsome face.

Bruce felt the power of the government and some of Luthor's little tricks. In order to help Clark, he even acted out a show to give him a reason to pay for his war damage. For this reason, he was laughed at by Tony and gave himself a gift A lot of tailor-made self-defense weapons came. When Bruce received these, he was moved and at the same time refreshed his understanding of Tony's duplicity.

He secretly collected a lot of evidence against Obadiastan and planned to hand it over to Tony, but he was intercepted for some reason. He even went to find Tony himself and wanted to hand over the evidence to him face to face. Before he left, he Encountered various small problems, and finally dealt with them, but received news that Tony was attacked and is now dealing with it.

He silently withdrew the evidence. This kind of coincidence made him suspect that someone was watching him, but he conducted various investigations and found that everything was normal. It seemed that the only explanation was that the world was preventing him from interfering with Tony or Iron Man. , but all this...

He didn't dare to gamble with Tony. He never forgot the tragedy of his parents. Although he helped Clark in the Zod incident, he knew that the ending had hardly changed. Zod and the others had no chance of surviving, at most they just died later That's all.

He always had an inexplicable sense of disobedience. He felt that although he hadn't found anything, his first guess was correct. Even the person who watched him must have something to do with the death of his parents.

Although he didn't tell Tony directly, he still reminded him vaguely. He could see that Tony didn't take it to heart.He knew that although Tony seemed a little cynical, he would not withdraw his trust from those he trusted unless there was hard evidence in front of him.

Bruce didn't force it either, but secretly kept a close eye on Obadiastan, which reduced his rest time a bit.

Bruce has read a lot of reports about Superman in his rare leisure time, the most is the Daily Planet, and even Clark has written news related to Superman.

When Bruce saw the news, he felt dumbfounded.

When night fell, Bruce stood in the Batcave, taking off his uniform to change into it.

Beside him was Alfred who disapproved like a butler.

"Master. Maybe you can give yourself a vacation. Only by resting properly can you work better."

Bruce took off his uniform, "Of course I can rest, but criminals don't rest."

Alfred sighed, put the two tickets aside, and walked out of the Batcave.

Bruce picked up the two tickets and found that they were tickets for the famous Harry Circus in Gotham. The time is 8 o'clock tonight, and it's only 7:[-] o'clock now, maybe...

He dropped his uniform and walked out of the Batcave with two tickets.

Alfred saw his young master standing in front of him in casual clothes, and shook the two tickets in his hand at him, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Bruce drove Alfred to the place where the show was being performed. The timing was just right. After checking the tickets, they sat on their seats and waited for the start of the show. They looked like a pair of ordinary father and son.

The trapeze family in this circus—"Flying Grayson" is well-known in Gotham, and it is the most watched trapeze show team in Gotham.

When it was time for the performance, Bruce watched the Grayson couple in the trapeze family walking, jumping, and making various poses on the ropes lightly and gracefully. He couldn't help applauding them in his heart, and even had the idea of ​​learning from them.

But the surname Grayson gave him a very bad feeling. Under what circumstances would Batman adopt a child? He only hoped that everything was wrong. There are many people with the surname Grayson in the world...

At this moment, he couldn't help blaming himself, why he was afraid of getting worse and only wanted to let nature take its course, and he didn't even go to inquire about the kid named Dick Grayson in Gotham.He could feel a strange force binding him in the dark, and he couldn't break free no matter what.He even asked Zatanna for help, hoping to solve the problem from the magic side, but the answer given to him by the other party was the reason for the power of time and space in him.

Soon, the youngest member of the trapeze family will be on stage, and Bruce suppresses the anxiety in his heart and watches the next performance.

However, unexpectedly, the rope on which the Graysons were standing broke suddenly, and the two fell from the air.

Bruce immediately stood up from his seat, but the incident happened suddenly. Even if he was Batman, he couldn't catch the two people who suddenly fell from the sky when he was unequipped and unprepared. Superman could do it, but Gotham couldn't. Few buildings contain lead, and this is one of them.

Time seemed to be frozen, but in fact time passed quickly, and within a few seconds, the two lives disappeared.

The scene was chaotic for a moment, and various voices mixed together, which sounded extremely ear-piercing.

A boy in performance costume ran over and stood blankly in front of his parents' corpses.

Everything in front of him was like his ninth birthday party, and Bruce felt a little out of breath.

He looked at the child standing there, it seemed that this was the person he had promised to protect, but he...

He somewhat understood why Batman from another world would adopt this child, because he also planned to adopt him.

He looked at the broken rope, maybe he couldn't find the murderer behind the murder of his parents, but at least he could help Dick find it.

Bruce glanced at Alfred beside him, and Alfred was also looking at him worriedly.

"Alf, if possible, I would like to adopt him..."

When Alfred heard what Bruce said, he had the feeling that it was true. He could understand Bruce's decision. Even when he looked at the child standing there, he had a feeling of seeing his past master. Let alone Bruce.

"Do what you want, master, if Wayne Manor is going to welcome a young master, you must learn to be a good father." He reached out and patted Bruce's arm.

Father?Bruce wasn't sure if he'd do well, but he couldn't watch the kid stand there by himself.He nodded slightly to Alfred, and then walked towards Dick. At this time, the audience below had calmed down, and everyone from the circus gathered around the corpse. While comforting Dick, they lifted the corpse of Dick's parents Go on, the show continues.

If an outsider saw this place, they would have already yelled at the circus for its inhumanity, but in Gotham, people looked so commonplace, and death was not too unusual in Gotham.

Watching this scene, Bruce felt a little blocked. He felt that what he was doing now was far from enough. What needed to be changed was not only Gotham, but also the hearts of Gotham people.
