Gotham is a city shrouded in clouds all year round, with towering chimneys emitting waste gas and pattering raindrops.
Under the surface of the bustling city, there are narrow alleys and filthy drainage ditches, posing street girls and homeless people with numb expressions.
"If you add colorful billboards and render the effect of light pollution, it can be used as a cyberpunk game map."
Luke crossed his arms and stood above the clouds.
Such a city with simple folk customs and outstanding people can definitely be regarded as a special attraction of DC Universe.
There are so many places to visit.
For example, Blackgate Penitentiary and Arkham Asylum once housed various super criminals.
Batman's classic solo show, Crime Alley and the two gunshots that were whipped every time.
There are also Joker's fallen chemical factory, Poison Ivy's botanical garden, Robin's circus, etc.
If there is a chance, Luke would like to arrange a Gotham City five-day tour for himself to fully appreciate the wonderful scenery of this city.
Of course, he does not recommend that ordinary people do this, as the risks are relatively high.
If you are unlucky, you may encounter an obsessive-compulsive disorder that stalks you and makes you guess riddles.
Tossing a coin alive will ask you heads or tails with a disfigured face.
The most unlucky thing is to meet a madman in a purple suit who asks you "Why are you so serious?"
"What a fun place."
Luke converged his divergent thoughts, Super Vision spread all over the city, and soon found the location of Flash.
Batman in the Flashpoint world did not build himself a lead safe house.
Otherwise, his Super Vision may not be so useful.
"Who was this guy... beaten by?"
Luke raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised.
Barry-Allen seemed to have been beaten severely. His face was bruised and swollen, with the corners of his mouth cracked. Even if his girlfriend came over, it would be difficult to recognize him for a while.
"Tsk, tsk, Dr. Wayne is too cruel."
Luke reacted quickly and was a little gloating.
After a little analysis, you can guess that the person who did it must be Batman's father, Thomas-Wayne.
After all, no matter which time and space Batman is, he will be more or less suspicious.
It is difficult for them to trust a stranger, especially a stranger who talks nonsense.
Boom, boom, boom!
Superman accelerated his steps, and in just a flash he crossed half a seat of Gotham and came to the door of the Wayne Manor.
He did not choose to fall from the sky, but walked from the front.
An overly high-profile appearance will inevitably arouse others' vigilance and disgust.
The secret passages and secret rooms in the mansion were completely uncovered in front of Super Vision.
This once again fully proves that Batman in the Flashpoint world does not know the existence of Superman at all.
Not even the most basic insurance measures have been arranged.
"Barry-Alan, you are more delusional than Joker. I have said before, Arkham Asylum is your destination."
Thomas-Wayne digested the information mentioned before by Barry, whose brain was stimulated and whose expression was complicated.
This guy just told him that he was actually a superhero and had a mortal enemy with similar abilities.
The origin of the other party is even more amazing. A future scientist in the 25th century can travel through time and space at super speed and change history.
"Dr. Wayne, I'm not crazy, and I'm not lying. All of this is true."
Barry-Alan held a ring with a lightning bolt symbol that fell out of his pocket.
There should have been Flash's battle uniform there, but now it has turned into Reverse-Flash's yellow uniform.
This was like a silent mockery, mocking Barry's current situation.
He felt that his old enemy was entangled with him again.
"When I was eleven years old, my mother was murdered and my father was convicted. In order to prove his innocence and to catch the murderer of my mother, I studied hard and joined Central City Police Department to become a forensic examiner."
Barry-Alan clutched Reverse-Flash's yellow suit tightly and said through gritted teeth, "But I never found any clues. It wasn't until I became Flash that I discovered that my life had already been locked up by an enemy I had not even made a grudge against."
"Dr. Wayne, that is revenge in reverse. Reverse-Flash comes from the other end of time and space. He is the murderer of my mother!"
"But in this world, my mother is alive and well. There is no doubt that she and I have rewritten history again."
After initially determining that Barry was a non-threatening intruder, Batman did not beat him up anymore.
"You said history has been rewritten, but what about Bruce?"
Compared with those weird plans that require imagination to understand, Thomas-Wayne cares more about the name Barry blurted out when he broke into Batcave.
"I remember, you called me 'Bruce' before, right? Do you know him?"
Barry hesitated for a moment, his broken finger still hurting.
Considering that he was not good at lying and could not deceive Batman, he said truthfully, "In the world I lived in, you and Mrs. Wayne were shot instead of him. Bruce became Batman and fought against the criminal forces of Gotham City. He was a superhero and the brain of Justice League."
"So, you mean...Bruce survived?"
Batman, who had been angry and violent from the beginning, suddenly trembled in his voice.
The only thing that can be touched, apart from the crazy wife, is probably the only dead son.
"Yes, Dr. Wayne, your son was once one of my closest friends. We fought side by side and fought against the darkness together."
Barry seems to realize that if he wants to get help from Batman, he must use Bruce to impress him.
Playing the emotional card is the most effective way!
In turn, he felt ashamed of the thought.
Taking advantage of a good friend's father doesn't seem like a very honorable act.
After receiving the answer, Thomas-Wayne's tough face hidden under the mask softened.
He saw through Barry's thoughts, but didn't care.
What If...?, everything this crazy guy said is true.
Then, maybe there is still a chance! You can still save this terrible period of your life!
"Barry-Alan, tell me, can you change this world back to the way it was before? Back to... the way it was when I was dead and Bruce was still alive!"
Thomas-Wayne asked seriously.
He stared hard into Barry's eyes, trying to judge whether the other party showed any signs of lying.
"He can do it, and he's the only one who can."
A magnetic voice with a smile suddenly sounded in Batcave.
From the dark shadows, a tall figure stepped out.
It is Luke!
"It seems I need to improve the security equipment here."
Thomas-Wayne pretended to be frustrated, sighed, and then threw out two Batarang without blinking.
call out! call out!
The sound of breaking wind hit me head on.
Target thighs and shoulders.
It seems that Batman doesn't want his life either.
"Those who play tactics have a dirty mind."
Luke thought silently.
His eyes were slightly focused, and Heat Vision melted the two Batarang instantly, turning them into a wisp of smoke.
"Superman! Clark! Is that you?"
Barry, standing aside, shouted with surprise on his face.
His tall figure and iconic Heat Vision made him regard Luke as Superman!
