Chapter 118: Batman retreats
The police department sent a message that Harvey, the righteous knight of Gotham City, died heroically in a heroic fight with the gangsters.
This caused a huge sensation in Gotham City, and many people were stunned, that good police officer with a righteous face actually died like this? Gotham City's once-in-a-century conscience is gone so suddenly? Just kidding, he's going to lead us in the fight against criminals. Many people thought it was a joke when they first heard the news. Harvey survived the hardest days, how could he suddenly die when the Joker was caught?
They couldn't accept the result. Under the overt and covert propaganda of the police and the Wayne Group, too many people were convinced of Harvey.
Many people who were directly or indirectly rescued by Harvey and who were sheltered by him spontaneously mourned in their own homes, or went out of their homes and came to the church to pray for him
In order to mourn the righteous knight who has not appeared for hundreds of years, people from all walks of life came to mourn with the police department taking the lead.
A mournful memorial service was held in the hall of the police station, and many people came spontaneously, finding a place to sit in silence and looking up sadly at the huge picture of Harvey hanging on the wall in front of them.
"A hero is not a hero we deserve, but a hero we need, as dazzling as a knight......"
……
On a tall building far from the police station, Batman stands at the very top, against the dripping rain, which usually does not emit. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew, mixed with icy rain on his body, and Batman was unmoved, just watching the memorial service in a long silence.
No one will know that Harvey is no longer the Harvey that people think, he has become an extreme madman, brutally killed many people, and finally was killed by Batman.
This will be a secret that will be buried forever in the history of Gotham City.
Suddenly there was a buzzing sound, from low to high, from far to near, reaching the top of the building at an astonishing speed, and looking at Batman.
"The Joker said that you either become a hero or a villain to make yourself live longer, and it seems that you have made up your mind...... Anyway, what kind of ghost is this, you have to find the tallest building in the neighborhood before you are willing to settle down......"
Downey grabbed a flying machine and flew directly to the roof of a tall building, making eye contact with Batman, talking and spitting out groans.
He was leaving, and before leaving, Downey felt that he should see Batman one last time, as a send-off for Batman. The people he supports have already participated in the election for the next mayor, and with the help of him and the Owl Court, it will definitely work out if nothing else.
"There are some things that Harvey can't do, but I can do, like being a villain, and Harvey has always been the person in the public perception." Under the pitch-black mask, Batman stares at Donnie with his sharp but somewhat tarnished eyes.
During these days, too many things have happened, and Batman, who has excellent psychological quality, feels tired.
"So you're taking everything on your own? Just because Gotham City needs you to be a criminal, you're willing to be the kind of person you hate the most? Downey pointed to the headphones on his ear, and Director Gordon officially announced that starting today, the police will do everything they can to arrest Batman, because Batman caused this terrible thing.
From now on, the Dark Knight is Gotham City's most wanted criminal.
Batman stood like an immortal stone statue without saying a word. He pursed his lips and refused to say a word. Despite his defeat in front of the Joker, at least, he chooses how he loses.
Downey was helpless, so he jumped directly from the small plane to the roof of the building, and the small plane directly changed into a small Transformer, playing in circles on the roof.
There are times when Donnie really can't understand the thoughts of some heroes and would rather define himself as the most hateful criminal than destroy the great image of a real criminal in the public mind. But I have to say that this is what Batman should do, otherwise he would not be Batman.
Knowing that this is stupid, knowing that this is another form of hypocrisy, knowing the consequences and consequences of doing this, but he still did it. Superheroes, sometimes they are really stupid and incorrigible people, but I have to say that they are a group of people who need to exist.
Downey couldn't accept it, but that didn't stop him from having respect for the people who did it.
"So, you've made up your mind? Sit back and wait for Gordon to smash the bat lamp that summons you, and then do what many dark Ones expect...... Retirement? ”
Downey scratched his head, thought for a moment, took out another box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and smoked one beautifully, and then he politely handed the case to Batman - yes, Donnie swears, who wouldn't know that Batman didn't smoke, and that would cause a little damage to his muscular body, and he really did it out of some kind of human etiquette.
I saw Batman staring at the box of cigarettes, muttering for a long time, then looking up at Donnie, and actually taking it.
"I'm going to retire because the city needs me to be a criminal." Batman said in a hoarse voice.
The cigarette in Donnie's mouth fell to the ground, and he looked at Batman in a daze, rubbing his eyes with a hellish look. That's not the point, you're a mortal Dark Knight, how can you take my cigarette?!
Batman smoked?! It's big news, and if Donnie says hello now, countless media will flock to it.
"You don't want to take my fingerprints, or find my skin flakes or something, so that you can clone me and deal with me in the future?" Donnie looked suspicious, feeling that he had guessed Batman's sinister intentions.
Batman took the cigarette and lifted him directly to his eyes, staring at Donnie through the cigarette case.
"Batman is retired, but my eyes will be glued to you, and I will be glued to you wherever you go. Donnie, don't sin again, don't kill again! Batman said.
"Whoever has the heart to fight with a retired guy of yours, I'm leaving Gotham City soon, and I have more important things to do...... Alas, don't you consider considering giving me my cigarettes? Downey still misses his cigarettes.
The Dark Knight snorted, shoved the cigarette directly into his armor, turned and spread his arms, and the huge cloak waved in the wind, and he glided through the sky, leaving behind the last bat figure in the city.
There was no Batman again, and the people of Gotham City lost him.
But Donnie knows this is, Batman wants to retire, but how many years can he hide? Even if he doesn't want to move, Donnie will definitely pull Master Wayne out as a thug to protect the earth, which is high enough, right?
