Chapter 1228: The Farm of Justice (10)

Thomas looked at Aisha's face, which was 70% similar to Bruce and 50% similar to himself, and opened his mouth, unable to say anything. 鐐

As a fairly orthodox Batman, Thomas could not have thought of Aisha's tortuous and bizarre birth process.

Everyone insisted that she was born by Bruce, so Thomas could only understand that his son did some bad things, resulting in a little daughter in advance.

After accepting this fact, Thomas couldn't help but think of Schiller's call to him. He had to admit that he paid the price for his credulity and recklessness, and this scam did not start with the Joker, but most likely with Professor Zoom.

In the world where Thomas was, Flash Barry found Thomas in order to hunt down Professor Zoom. Thomas injured Professor Zoom, but Professor Zoom took him out of the universe.

When being kidnapped by Professor Zoom, Thomas found that Professor Zoom had encountered some troubles. It seemed that the destination he was going to could not be found for some reason. He was affected by a mysterious force and accidentally fell into the current universe.

Batman Thomas knew that none of these villains were reliable, but the harsh words that Professor Speed ​​​​left before leaving still made him feel worried. This guy who always opposed the Flash threatened to let Thomas see what would happen to Bruce after he was resurrected.

When Thomas sought help from the Flash Barry before, he knew that if Bruce was resurrected, he would also become Batman, and Thomas did not want his son to go down this path.

Professor Speed ​​​​implied that Bruce still took this path, and according to him, the universe where Thomas was located was an exception. In most universes, Bruce Wayne became Batman.

This was a devastating fact for Thomas, because his wife Martha, who became the Joker, had just collapsed and died because of this terrible prophecy.

So, after landing, Thomas was a little confused. He followed Batman's instinct and found Schiller who was still in prison. What Thomas was thinking was not a difficult question. Any father's worry about his son would be written on his face.

Schiller didn't actually lie to Thomas. He just acted as a black-hearted tour guide, emphasizing that Bruce's activities were mainly in Wayne Building and Wayne Manor, perfectly avoiding the East and North Districts of Gotham where the biggest changes had taken place.

So, when Thomas arrived in Gotham, he went straight to Wayne Building, and sure enough, he saw Batman, who was serving as a tourist attraction there.

Thomas didn't know that Bruce was there to take pictures for people. He thought of his own experience and felt that his son must be like him, standing on the top of the building thinking, when will this sinful city be saved.

Then, he met Dick again. Dick ran away because of a quarrel with Bruce, and there was inevitably some emotional output in his words. 鐐

The Bruce in Thomas's world died young, and he didn't even have any chance to enjoy family happiness with his children. The Bruce in this world just gave up such a great opportunity, which made Thomas heartbroken.

This made him make the most wrong decision in the whole thing, which was to go back to Schiller.

Because Thomas knew Schiller was the Joker, he felt that Schiller must have a way to deal with the Batman of this world, so that he would stop being Batman and stop going down this hopeless path.

Thomas didn't know Bruce well enough, but Schiller knew Bruce too well. He accurately grasped that after Bruce met Thomas, he would definitely have ups and downs in his mood, and it was very likely that he would lose control of his emotions. Sure enough, he was right.

In general, this matter was a big trick for the Wayne father and son, but the bigger problem now was that Bruce left without looking back, without making any preparations, without any arrangements, and without any defense against Thomas. He just walked away, leaving Thomas with nothing to worry about.

According to his logic, if Bruce became Batman, he would never let another stranger enter Wayne Manor like this, regardless of whether he was Thomas or not.

From himself, Thomas knew that if Bruce in his world was resurrected one day, he would never allow his son to approach his family, even teammates and acquaintances without anyone monitoring him, for no special reason, because he was Batman.鐐

But Bruce walked too fast, like a tornado. If it wasn't his long-lost lover who took him away, it might be the Batman of this world, who has completely given up.

Before Thomas thought deeply about this question, Alfred's voice came from the door: "Master Thomas, there is a visitor. It is Gotham City Mayor Roy. May I ask if he can come in?"

Thomas narrowed his eyes instinctively. He subconsciously reached out and touched his face, and then touched Batman's mask. He didn't change his clothes and was still dressed as Batman.

So when Alfred invited Roy in, Roy was stunned for a moment. He looked Thomas up and down, and then said: "Bruce, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem to be much older?... Hey, wait a minute, you are not Bruce."

Roy subconsciously took two steps back and vigilantly touched the pistol behind his waist. Alfred put the towel aside and explained: "Mr. Mayor, this is another Batman, don't worry."

Roy's eyes slowly widened, and he said in disbelief: "So, Batman is not an identity, but a profession, and you are more than one person?!"

Just as Thomas was about to answer, the expression on the face of the Italian man in front of him instantly changed to one of surprise. His face was full of folds derived from a smile, and he was obviously happy.鐐

Roy stepped forward very enthusiastically, held Thomas's hands vigorously, shook them vigorously, and said, "Welcome, new Batman, how many of you are there? Are there ten?"

"Really, why didn't Bruce tell me earlier? If I had known you guys were a group, I would still be chasing him every day?" Roy pretended to complain.

"Well, I said, sir, I think you are approaching retirement age and should be relatively free. So tonight at 7 o'clock in the evening, we will be on time on the roof of the Wayne Tower waiting for our superstar to appear. Don't Too late!”

Roy made an OK gesture, turned around and walked away with cheerful steps, while Thomas was still stunned in place, understanding what he said before.

After Roy left, Alfred cleaned the vase with a feather duster and said:

"Mr. Bruce, he has a part-time job as a public welfare employee from the city government. He mainly uses his personal image to enhance the tourism image of Gotham City and make outstanding contributions to the land prices and rents near Wayne Tower..."

"Wait a minute, Alfred." Thomas interrupted him with a hand, "This is the United States, and we speak American English."

"Okay, sir, to put it simply, at 8 o'clock every weekend, Batman will go to the roof of Wayne Tower on time, allowing visitors here to experience the charm of Gotham's urban legend."

"You mean, his part-time job is as a model?" Thomas frowned deeply and said, "His job is to stand on the roof of Wayne Tower and let tourists take pictures???"

"In general, it is like this, sir."

"What does he think of Batman?" Thomas held his forehead, but he was stunned for a second. Isn't this exactly what he wanted? Standing guard on the top of the building is safer than flying down to fight crime, right?

But why does he think something is wrong?

Shouldn't the image of Batman be one that scares everyone and makes them want to run away after seeing him? Could it be that Bruce from this universe designed a funny image for Batman? ? ?

This is not because Thomas has strong association skills. The main reason is that in his era, most of the more popular celebrities and entertainers had relatively funny and people-friendly images.鐐

The cultural trend at that time was still relatively mainstream culture. Some subcultures and punk culture had not yet fully developed. The country's cultural propaganda orientation was also mainly positive.

However, in Bruce's era, punk was very popular, and the desperate process of the gradual collapse of the golden age made people think more deeply about non-mainstream art that was biased towards death and darkness.

Rap mixed with all kinds of swear words and slang is very popular, and Hollywood stars who go to nightclubs every day and get drunk are even more popular. The dark tone of Batman can show the unique aesthetics of young people and thus become popular.

Although Thomas is also Batman, he is also limited by his age and vision. He really can't understand why some people pursue dark heroes.

This is also the reason why he is very pessimistic about Batman's future. In his opinion, a hero in the dark is not a hero and can never be understood by anyone.

So he shook his head helplessly, looked at Afu and said, "Can I go take a look underground in the manor?"

Thomas wanted to go to the Batcave to see what weird things his son had done to Batman's uniform. When Bruce chased him that day, he just ran away without looking carefully.鐐

What Thomas didn't expect was that Alfred didn't show any intention of refusing, but readily agreed, nodded and took the initiative to lead the way.

On the way down the stairs, Thomas thought that there might be some hard-to-break combination lock in the Batcave underground, so Bruce was so confident that he would give such an important place to a person he had just met.

As a result, the stairs leading to the basement did not have any traps or traps, and there were not even a few cameras. The stairs were in disrepair, and the ground was a little damp. It did not look like it could stop the enemy.

After the basement door opened, Thomas was stunned.

He looked at the ordinary-looking laboratory with only a few experimental benches, and a voice full of doubts sounded in front of the door.

“…Where’s the Batcave???”
