Chapter 2430 The Weird Bat House ()
Chapter 2430: The Weird Bat Family (Ten)
The atmosphere in the living room of Wayne Manor was quite tense.
Batman didn't know how to stop this anxiety. He had a rich love history, but his emotional experience was so poor and unremarkable, and the situation before him was too complicated.
Overall, this should be a problem between Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. No matter which universe they are in, there are many problems between these three people, but if they come from different universes, the complexity of things will more than double.
Clark clearly noticed the malicious look of Batman Doom, but he didn't know what he had done wrong. He just wanted to find the Batman of his universe, which was obviously not the case with this one.
Clark was looking around for where the Robot Batman was, but at this time Batman and Diana came back. In fact, the two of them had nothing to do with this feud, but in this universe Batman was actually with Wonder Woman, which successfully attracted Clark's attention.
But as soon as Clark paid attention to Batman and Wonder Woman, Doomsday Batman became even more unhappy, because it is conceivable that among the three friends, a man and a woman are together, and the other man just learned the news. If he is not dissatisfied with their relationship, why should he pay special attention to it?
Regardless of whether he is dissatisfied with Batman and Wonder Woman being together, or Wonder Woman and Batman being together, what does he have to be dissatisfied with? Doomsday Batman thinks, aren't the two of them better together than with you?
Clark was really curious, because there really wasn't any spark between his universe's Batman and Wonder Woman, but in his opinion this was also a good thing, so he wanted to open his mouth to wish him a happy new life, but the death gaze behind him became more and more intense, and he had to look back.
Batman standing aside felt that he should do something, otherwise the ceiling of Wayne Manor would be in danger, but what should he do? Who can persuade such a situation?
The answer is a physical storm of thought.
This was an additional product that came with Charles when he walked up with a dark face, but it scared all the Batmen present. They clearly felt that their minds were being read.
"You're always worrying about things that haven't happened." Eric said, "What you've seen and heard in other universes has led you to completely misunderstand me. These judgments are very reckless and hasty..."
"But you did it!" Charles roared at him, "You took us on a detour just to prevent me from meeting Haller! And you shamelessly admitted it!"
"I don't think it would be good for you to know her. Our universe doesn't need so many unstable mutants."
"This is the final disagreement between you and me. Their birth is natural and should not be controlled by you. Otherwise, what is the difference between you and those who discriminate against us and try to oppress us?!"
It seemed that the two had reached the point of arguing to the point where there was nothing more to argue about, and from the content of their argument, Batman was able to infer that after Charles returned from that universe, he might have used some methods, or it might be that Professor X told him. In short, he knew the past of Professor X and Magneto.
And somehow, Eric from their universe knew it too, at least the part about Ms. Haller, David's biological mother.
Batman guessed that it was most likely Charles who told him about his adventures in another universe, which inevitably involved David's life experience. Or maybe it was just a complaint between friends, such as the funny thing about treating his own son as a classmate when he didn't know David's true identity at the beginning.
As a result, Eric acted quickly and took his team along another route during an operation where they were supposed to meet Harrell, causing them to miss probably the only chance to meet. Somehow, Charles found out about this.
After Eric was discovered, he certainly wouldn't admit it obediently, or maybe this was his purpose, to prevent David from being born, but his explanation inevitably elevated the quarrel between the two from a personal emotional issue to an ideological issue.
Even by looking at Eric's face, Batman can see that he is the kind of person with a very strong desire for control. If he wants to change the fate of a certain race, he will not care about the life or death of individuals. His purpose is not to protect mutants, or he believes that letting mutants win the war and be superior to humans is the real protection for them.
He doesn't care how many humans or mutants die on this road, he just wants to complete his goal.
For example, this time, he thought David should not have been born, so he directly intervened to change Charles' fate and prevented him from meeting David's mother. All this was just because he felt that David's birth was not favorable.
And he had extremely strong self-confidence, thinking that Charles, as his good friend, would definitely understand him. But when Charles, a relatively normal man, said that he could not understand at all and was simply a psychopath, Eric felt aggrieved.
Then there was a long quarrel, the main topic of which was whether you loved me or not, who you loved more, who loved who more...
Batman believed that if this quarrel was not stopped, it would eventually lead to tragedy for one of them, or possibly both of them.
But obviously they had already finished the first half of the argument before coming here. Now, seeing so many Batmen, they didn't care about keeping their dirty laundry secret, but started to tell them what was going on.
The process was just as Batman expected and was basically as he imagined. They both had clear views on mutants. Charles was more like a mother, guiding and protecting but not interfering too much, while Eric was more like a strict father. He believed that he had planned a perfect route for mutants, and as long as they followed this route, they could completely get rid of their current predicament and even become the most powerful group on earth in one fell swoop.
Batman thinks there is absolutely no need to stop the fight, because first of all, the two men are very young. They just have plans but have never put them into practice. They have not learned any lessons from the setbacks in reality. They just wishful thinking that they are right, and even the quarrel is metaphysical.
Secondly, even though they have been through a lot, they remain committed. This ideological dispute cannot be distinguished between right and wrong. It cannot be said that caring protection is right and strict supervision is wrong.
As a result, this group of people actually started to analyze it.
"If, as you said, the awakening of mutants is uncontrollable and could cause a disaster, then perhaps they should separate themselves from the general population earlier and find a place to build a country, or find a way to leave Earth or something."
Batman Doom thought and said, "From the perspective of an ordinary person, I can't accept that there are tens of thousands of Kryptonians lurking among the crowd and could explode at any time. Since conflicts are bound to arise, you have to prepare early."
"But ordinary people will not allow them to establish a country." Batman said, "The extremists among them want to exterminate them. Even neutral elements think that they should invent a way to catch mutants before their abilities explode. This is a completely genocidal attitude."
"I think there are too many mutants." Diana said, "If there were only so few people like Paradise Island, then it might be nice to occupy a small island and live a paradise-like life. No one would care about you."
"Paradise Island is located on Mount Olympus..."
Their rational and accurate analysis did not eliminate the anger of Charles and Eric at all, because they did not want rational analysis. They were still arguing about personal feelings.
So they had to bring the topic back to the right track, but if they did so, these people who considered themselves victims would be furious.
"I think deception is unacceptable." Doomsday Batman kept glancing at Clark, leaving Clark confused, and then he continued: "If you think something is not good for him, you should discuss it with him, instead of acting on your own, not telling him at all, and having no regrets afterwards."
Charles nodded repeatedly and looked at Eric together with Batman Doom.
Eric snorted coldly and said, "For the sake of an ordinary human woman, you even wanted to terminate the mission and go home. Is this what you mean by devoting your life to the cause of mutants?"
"I've already said it, I'm not doing this for Haller, but because..."
"Okay." Batman now realized that the two of them were talking at cross purposes. Eric felt that Charles had to quarrel with him just for a woman he had never even met. He completely disregarded him and betrayed their promise.
Charles felt that Eric was making decisions for him, which was a complete disrespect to him and no consideration for his feelings, and now he was so confident about it, which was totally unreasonable.
How can such an issue possibly produce a result?
Batman's judgment was quite accurate. They were no longer planning to quarrel, but to fight directly.
Eric was already floating up, and a magnetic storm was brewing. Charles was not to be outdone, standing on the ground, his blue eyes fixed on Eric's face. Everyone around him felt the tremor of his thoughts.
"What's going on? Who are these two gentlemen?" Martha asked, holding the railing on the second floor. She knew Batman very well, so she looked directly at Batman and asked, "Is this your new Robin?"
He was looking for a robin, not a vulture, Batman thought.
But when it comes to interpersonal relationships, his brain didn't work, so he said directly: "Yes, these two are temporary workers I hired to investigate the mastermind behind the incident."
"And you didn't even prepare a welcoming dinner for them."
I really want to stuff them both back into the portal, but I can only think about it in my mind. Batman also thinks that it is not a good idea to leave them here like this, and sooner or later it will provoke a fight between all the Batmen in the room.
"It's getting late now, but I think the Iceberg Restaurant should still be open. Maybe we can go there to discuss our next plan."
"Then you must go too." Martha looked at Green Lantern Batman and said, "You have to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't come back too late."
Green Lantern Batman seemed very unhappy, but he could only walk towards Batman, and under Martha's death gaze, Batman could only choose to walk out the door silently and take away all the unstable factors here. At this moment, no one was more like a lone hero than him.
