Just as Marvel had countless parallel universes, DC was no less impressive.
And in the vast majority of parallel universes, Batman was Bruce Wayne. His parents, Thomas and Martha, were usually just background characters who existed only in flashbacks, dragged out every now and then to be repeatedly emotionally exploited.
But this Batman before him was not Bruce. It was his father, Thomas Wayne.
Now that was interesting.
Du Mu had not read all those comics for nothing. A classic major event from DC comics quickly flashed through his mind.
Flashpoint Paradox.
And the protagonist of that major event was The Flash, Barry, hailed as DC's reset button.
In order to save his dead mother, Barry used the Speed Force to travel back in time and changed the fact of her death.
As a result, that act triggered an enormous butterfly effect, changing the entire timeline and creating a brand-new one: the Flashpoint World.
In this Flashpoint World, many superheroes and Super Villains had undergone drastic changes, Batman especially.
As everyone knew, there was an alley in Gotham where six legs went in, and two legs came out.
And that was the famous DC tourist attraction, Crime Alley.
In the normal timeline, the Wayne family left the theater and turned into Crime Alley, where they encountered a mugger. Young Bruce watched his parents fall beneath gunfire, and from then on, there was one more Batman in the world.
But in the Flashpoint World, four legs came out that night instead of two. Little Bruce was the one who died in the alley, while the Waynes survived.
Thomas had witnessed his son Bruce's death with his own eyes. Filled with endless regret and pain, he eventually became a Batman who fought violence with violence, pouring all his fury onto criminals.
