"Why do you say that?"
Diana asked Bobo, who was sitting on Barry's lap. The Detective Chimp had a pipe clenched between his teeth and was rapidly reciting a string of numbers, as if they were some kind of code.
"Do you remember what Deathstroke said in Titans Tower?" The chimp took the pipe from his mouth, a cloud of smoke billowing from between his thick lips. "After Black Lantern Superman was dealt with, he said the other lantern corpses of the Justice League wouldn't come because they thought there would be no meat left for them."
Hearing that seemingly unrelated answer, Diana frowned as though she were pondering something.
Meanwhile, Old Batman on the corner sofa murmured softly, as if talking in his sleep, "Clark..."
"I remember him saying something like that. What does it mean?" Wonder Woman touched the round piece of Tenth Metal affixed to the back of her head. With the metal present, she felt that she should be able to contact Deathstroke.
Even if he had gone to another Parallel World or the Dark Multiverse, the metal was a doorway and a channel.
The chimp jumped down from Barry's lap, clasped his hands behind his back, and paced around like an old farmer inspecting his fields.
"Because many enemies have a mistaken habitual way of thinking. They believe Superman and Batwoman need to be dealt with separately first, and that once those two are handled, the Justice League is nothing to worry about. It has even caused many people in the Alliance to blindly believe in Superman or Batwoman, thinking they can do anything."
There were too many examples for Bobo to bother recalling. Those villains had no creativity at all. Was there really no major villain who chose to deal with Arthur first?
Uh,
