Clark Kent

In this universe, Batman and Superman have not yet met, have not yet gotten to know each other, and have not yet become good partners.

However, Batman has connections to Superman, has a long history of saving lives, and is actively searching for Superman's weaknesses and trying to find out Superman's true identity.

The reporter from the Planet Daily in front of Ba Di was none other than Clark Kent, Superman. Ba Di didn't recognize him from his press pass, but from the person himself; he knew it immediately.

He possesses immense strength, and the resolute gaze hidden behind his glasses is as clear and bright as a vast ocean—beautiful and kind.

"Mr. Wayne, Batman has caused a lot of panic in Gotham. The public doesn't actually believe in Batman; they're mostly just afraid. Are you really Batman?"

Clark looked flustered. Several bodyguards were holding him back, but he didn't budge. He leaned into the elevator, his eyes fixed on Ba Di, waiting for Ba Di's answer.

"Yes."

Ba Di answered, and gently waved his hand in front of Clark, signaling him to leave the elevator and stop getting in his way.

He looked like an impatient rich man waving his hand, utterly helpless.

Poor people, get out of my way! Don't block my way from taking the elevator and breathing in the oxygen that belongs to the rich.

Ba Di had absolutely no interest in Clark or Superman.

He is now inhabiting Batman's body. In Batman's wishes, there is no intention to be gay with Clark. At most, there are other third-level wishes: to find Superman's true body, understand Superman's weaknesses, and restrain Superman.

This is similar to many other third-level desires: to find the Flash's identity and research technology to counter Flash; to find the Green Lantern 'Green Lantern true identity and research something to counter him; to find Shazam's true identity and then research something to counter him; and all sorts of heroes and villains, such as Wonder Woman, Constantine, Martian Manhunter, and Madame Xanadu, are all recorded in Batman's notebook, with the intention of countering them one by one, preparing for the future.

At the moment of Ba Di's arrival, the knowledge he possessed had already fulfilled this last wish.

Therefore, he actually dislikes Superman for getting in his way.

"Would you still become Batman?"

Clark was still asking questions, his body leaning forward, with more than three broad-shouldered bodyguards behind him, their muscles bursting out of their suits, their faces red with anger, pulling him backward, intending to pull him away.

However, this alien was capable of destroying an intercontinental continent, so how could it possibly move? Clark stood as still as a nail-studded pillar.

"It depends on my mood."

Ba Di was helpless. He couldn't just beat up Superman right there. Even if he did, Bruce's body wouldn't be able to hurt Superman. Without Krypton and without the Red Sun Rays, Bruce's idea of defeating Superman was just a pipe dream.

Therefore, Ba Di seemed quite helpless.

Superman, a kind-hearted guy, always manages to hinder others with his own values, forcing them to conform to his values, otherwise they will definitely become a problem.

This kind of well-intentioned trouble is the most detestable, as it involves secretly criticizing and obstructing from a moral high ground.

It's exactly the same as dog lovers stopping others from eating dog.

"Please stop what you're doing, sir."

"Batman can't be here. He only brings fear and doesn't do anything good for Gotham."

Clark spoke with righteous indignation and an air of awe. Before coming to Wayne Building for the press conference, he had already traveled through Gotham, constantly investigating the city's residents' impressions of Batman.

Most of them were trembling with fear, and some even suffered brutal beatings at Batman's hands. Some were terrified at the mere mention of Batman's name. Arkham also housed many mentally ill prisoners who had been abused by Batman. It seemed as if the entire Gotham was shrouded in the shadow of Batman, who brought fear to Gotham in the name of justice.

Of course, Clark had a hard time seeing the past and the human heart.

He only asked about semi-legal figures in the underworld; as for ordinary people, Batman? They had never seen him, only heard rumors about him.

Batman would never target ordinary people.

In Gotham, which gangster doesn't tremble with fear at the mention of Batman? When smuggling drugs, the biggest fear is Batman suddenly appearing! When kidnapping women and children, the biggest fear is Batman descending from the sky! When cutting up or selling organs, if Batman appears, it's all over. Limbs are broken, some even go blind, and they can prepare to spend the rest of their lives in hospitals, which belong to Wayne Enterprises.

In Gotham, among the gangsters, those capable of rebelling against Batman are just a handful of exceptionally intelligent oddballs, who are being sent to Arkham one after another. How can ordinary gangsters not be afraid? Ba Di is now Batman, and he understands Batman better than anyone else, and knows better than anyone else everything this always-foresighted guy has sacrificed for Gotham.

To question Batman's actions in the name of the Dark Knight is to question Gotham Ba Di.

He is Batman, and at this moment, he is also Ba Di.

Even Superman cannot question Batman's contributions.

Ba Di stepped forward, his face hard and composed, exuding a chilling aura, and met Clark's gaze.

The air was deathly still.

You could almost feel the chilling atmosphere.

A heavy, oppressive aura seemed to emanate from Bruce, pressing down on everyone's hearts like a mountain.

"Clark Kent, go back to the Planet Daily. It's none of your business how I behave."

Ba Di's tone was firm and cold, his face composed, solemn, and filled with cold anger.

At this stage, Superman didn't fully understand Batman, and Ba Di didn't want Superman to understand him or anything like that; he was never a likable character.

He only needs to fulfill Batman's last wish; any obstacles or understanding will only cause trouble.

Only by fulfilling Batman's dying wish of possessing 70% of his legacy can Ba Di truly absorb Batman's information, thereby allowing his subsystem to be generated and spread throughout the universe, occupying the entire universe, completing the information plunder of the entire universe, and strengthening himself.

Batman's dying wish was to create a brighter Gotham and save Gotham from evil.

And as Batman, this is what he is about to do.

"You..."

Clark was filled with rage, clenching his fist as if a powerful gust of air had exploded. A large artery bulged out of his neck, and his bright blue eyes, hidden behind his honest black-rimmed glasses, narrowed in a terrifying way.

By saying this, Ba Di has proven that he has not given up his identity as Batman and intends to continue to manipulate Gotham as Batman, spreading terror throughout the Gotham.

Clark's neck veins were bulging, and he wanted to teach Batman a lesson, but he was well aware that his strength would kill Batman, so he just glared at him and didn't actually hit him.

Ba Di, cold and furious, met Clark's gaze without fear.

It was as if the air itself was crackling with anger, sparks of battle, making it suffocating.

The two glared at each other, looking as if they were about to start a fight at any moment.

Clark suddenly let go, and the bodyguards who were holding him staggered. He turned sharply backward, leaving behind a silhouette, and left the place.

"I'll find someone who can boss you around."
