Batman Is Gotham's Hero!

"What!"

"Bruce Wayne, are you asking the United States government to play a superhero game with you?"

"Are you crazy?"

"Nonsense, the Wayne family business being passed down to you is utter nonsense."

"Tomorrow morning, because of your words, Wayne Enterprises will come to an end."

"Declaring Batman Gotham's official hero is impossible; Batman should go to jail!"

Declaring Batman an official Gotham hero, a hero officially recognized by the authorities, implies that Batman possesses covert law enforcement and disciplinary powers.

This is like rubbing salt into a wound that has already made the public distrust the government; they're practically ready to rebel.

If it were other heroes, like The Flash, Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc., the public wouldn't react as strongly because they are sunny, handsome, stylish, beautiful, bright, and cool.

For Batman, whose only power is money, displaying it is hard to say.

In Gotham, Batman is Legends as a demon who instills fear in ordinary people, relegated to the realm of urban legends, making it difficult for the public to believe or feel at ease. Such a plan would only create more chaos.

Several different councilors had cold, angry expressions, but of course, given their status, none of them were truly angry.

What they need... is profit.

"This is my proposal, which you can review in detail. I won't go into further details."

"Declaring Batman an official Gotham superhero will allow you to have deeper contact with other superheroes. This plan contains detailed schemes for each superhero, uniting them, and even forming a world-class Superman team. The primary goal is to assist them, gradually bringing these superheroes under supervision to deal with monsters and aliens that exceed human limits, ensuring they do not rise above human morality."

Ba Di stepped forward, speaking with composure and confidence.

The U.S. President's eyes flickered slightly, while the four army generals, the leaders of the Anti-Terrorism Unit, stared at the plan in silence, lost in thought.

This plan clearly outlines a strategy to create one superhero per city, including creating an official superhero, uniting various civilian superheroes, and so on. The details of each task, large or small, are listed, and the feasibility rate is nearly 70%.

However, these are not enough to make Batman the representative superhero of Gotham.

This involves the people's trust in the government, their most basic sense of trust in the government. Once lost, it will only trigger massive demonstrations, turning Gotham into a place of ruin and causing turmoil throughout the United States.

'smack'

Ba Di snapped his fingers again, waking everyone from their reverie.

"Next is the cooperation agreement between me and the Army," Ba Di said.

Sam Lane's eyes flickered as he stared intently.

At this moment, the projected image displayed military combat equipment such as the exoskeleton armor that Ba Di had previously created, Sky Iron Man, and Nano Iron Man capable of fighting in space.

These are all combat gear discarded in Ba Di's world. They're commonplace and can be used by anyone to roam the skies. Only the Nano Iron Man combat gear is standard equipment for the police department in Ba Di's world; the others are not worth mentioning.

But at this time, in this era, this technology is simply astonishing; it is military combat equipment that surpasses Earth's by a century.

If everyone in the army had such a set of equipment, they could compete with any superhero and forcibly change the structure of the world. At that time, they would truly be the overlord of the earth. Of course, this is their fantasy.

As soon as the projection screen displayed the plan, the four army generals gasped. They quickly flipped through the new plan, and seeing the numerous data and firepower figures, they stared wide-eyed with intense excitement.

"The Department of Defense has agreed to cooperate!!!"

"The national Anti-Terrorism Unit need this kind of combat equipment!"

"The previously combat-ready army and the army reserve forces request cooperation!"

"Mr. Wayne, when will we have the physical mechs, the prototypes?"

Several members of the Army's highest staff immediately called for cooperation.

Just by looking at the data, you can tell how powerful this weapon is. Cooperation is essential, and it is in the hands of the United States.

Ba Di used both hands to calm their agitation and said, "Everyone, calm down."

"You should recognize this as the Iron Man suit from Marvel."

"That's right, you're not mistaken. Your great Batman has completely recreated the Iron Man armor, and even added more powerful firepower to it, enough to make the warriors wearing the Iron Man armor face any war."

In this world, Marvel comics exist, and the Iron Man movie has already been released, which is why these generals and Army General Staff members are so excited.

According to the data listed by Ba Di, it already possesses functions like Iron Man's flight mode, repulsion cannon, Laser Cannon, simulated stealth, invisibility, etc., and is even more realistic and comprehensive than Iron Man's.

On the spot, the U.S. President, his operations staff, and the finance minister started arguing and began planning how many of these Iron Man suits to purchase.

However, their first task was to decide whether or not to declare Batman Gotham's official hero, a superhero project undertaken by the White House cabinet and Bruce to eradicate evil.

Before they had finished discussing, Ba Di snapped his fingers again.

"You can discuss this privately. Now, I need to announce one last thing, something you cannot refuse."

Everyone present stopped, held their breath, and looked at Ba Di.

Ba Di smiled slightly, his eyes filled with amusement, and said.

"My collaboration with the government to make Batman an official hero of Gotham was not for fun."

"I just wanted to do something for my city, Gotham."

"There is much evil there, and many wicked thoughts are bred there."

"I hope my city is bright, beautiful, and vibrant, not gloomy, where a rape or robbery could happen in any alley."

"I have spent more than a decade trying to eradicate evil, but I still have no way to do so. So I stepped forward and walked out of the darkness into the light."

"I have developed a complete Cold Fusion Technology to benefit my city."

After Ba Di finished speaking, everyone present changed their expressions and were shocked beyond measure.

What is Cold Fusion? Cold Fusion is a radiation-free, pollution-free, renewable and clean energy technology.

Its fuel can be extracted from seawater; the energy produced by one liter of concentrated seawater fuel is equivalent to that produced by 300 liters of gasoline. It can be said that once this technology becomes widespread, it can completely replace currently used fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and uranium.

In other words, the future is the future of energy, and energy is in the hands of Wayne Enterprises.

"In the future, Gotham will become a clean energy capital. I will use Cold Fusion to create numerous Cold Fusion power generation industries, Cold Fusion powered cars, Cold Fusion powered ocean liners and large ships, Cold Fusion machines, medical care, automation, manufacturing, transportation... to feed the six million people of Gotham."

"Gotham will become the city with the lowest unemployment rate in the world!"

"Gotham will become the city with the lowest crime rate in the world!"

"Gotham will become a world-class metropolis and a world-class clean energy city through the upcoming reforms."

"A city like this deserves only light!"

A smile played on Ba Di's lips as he looked at the U.S. President and said, "Wayne Enterprises is interested in cooperating with the government to develop Cold Fusion technology and let clean energy change the world!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask you, can Batman be considered a hero?"

The members of parliament looked at each other in bewilderment. The future of the world lies in the future of energy, and this technology is in the hands of the Wayne Group.

All he wanted was to change his city! He wanted the government to declare him a hero of Gotham, a hero recognized and acknowledged by the government.

The U.S. President's eyes flickered, and in an instant, he had already stood up.

He could no longer imagine that if Wayne Enterprises partnered with others, with other countries, whether it was the century-old military technology of Iron Man suits or Cold Fusion technology, it would be enough to enable a developing country to rise and challenge the hegemonic authority of the United States.

This is absolutely catastrophic.

The benefits involved are so great that they could change the future and lead the world.

It was just a moment's hesitation.

The U.S. President stood up, extended his friendly right hand, and smiled.

"Batman is Gotham's hero!"
