Chapter 503 Batman is out to catch the criminals

After the bandits ran far away, the crew members dared to come out one after another.

Seeing the batmobile and the model of Batman being smashed and flaming, everyone was terrified. Even though Chicago is known as the capital of crime, no one had ever seen such a scene.

"Is anyone injured? Is everyone okay?" asked Little Gilbert.

"It's okay, Director. Everything is safe."

"This scene has been destroyed. I guess we can't shoot the movie anymore."

"Alas," Little Gilbert sighed, "The set design team and art team have worked hard, so let's all help out and restore the scene in the next two days before we start filming!

We're done for today, the crew is on holiday, and we'll be back to filming after Christmas."

After something like this happened, I guess everyone should go back and take a few days to rest. Let’s just take a holiday first!

Little Gilbert said to Charles Rowan again: "After something like this happened, Chicago needs to give us an explanation. Charles, go talk to them."

Charles Rowan was old, and he was frightened by the scene, and only then did he recover.

"Okay, asking for some compensation is not a problem, at least you have to give us the Batmobile." Charles Roven said as he looked at the Batmobile whose fire had been extinguished.

Little Gilbert stroked his chin and thought, "We can make use of this incident. Why do you think the robbers shot at Batman and the Batmobile?"

"Because," Charles Roven thought, "they were suddenly frightened by Batman, so they stopped shooting."

"That's right," Little Gilbert clapped his hands and said, "Although we didn't hear clearly what they said, it doesn't stop me from making up a story. It would be better if I could add a video to it for a better effect."

"Who has the video?" Charles Rowan asked.

A camera assistant raised his hand and said, "I'll secretly record some of it."

Gilbert Jr. nodded to Charles Rowan, and the footage shot by the photography assistant became a publicity tool.

Charles Roven and the rest of the crew said that the robbers panicked when they saw Batman, which delayed their escape and led to their capture by the police.

This is actually true, and this is what everyone sees.

After reaching a consensus, the crew announced a holiday, allowing them to quickly rest and soothe their wounded hearts.

This bank robbery, known as the Chicago robbery, was not a big deal because it happened so often that North Americans were no longer surprised by it.

But because it was related to the much-anticipated "Butterfly Shadow" crew, it immediately became a major case that shocked the entire United States.

Although all five robbers were captured, the details were like a Hollywood blockbuster and the twist at the ending was so surprising that it attracted the attention of the entire United States.

The morning after the bank robbery, the Chicago Sun-Times reported the robbery on its front page. Other media outlets quickly followed suit, including the morning news on Chicago's local TV stations.

Major North American television stations such as CNN, CBS, and ABC have all reported on this incident and interviewed the parties involved.

As everyone knows, the five robbers were eventually caught on a highway in the suburbs of South Chicago.

But according to police, they failed to track the robbers for more than ten minutes before catching them.

Because the South City is a complex area and gangs are rampant, the police do not have strict control over the area.

But later, the crew of "The Dark Knight" provided information about the robbers, which enabled the police to finally obtain the robbers' location and track them down again.

Therefore, the public is curious about what kind of conflict happened between these five gangsters and the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes"?
Is anyone injured? Is Director Gilbert Jr. okay?
But what is strange is that on the second day after the incident, no one from the crew came out to respond to the incident and they remained silent.

This strange silence has intensified all kinds of wild speculation from the outside world.

Some said the crew was attacked by five thugs, causing heavy casualties. Others said Gilbert Jr. was shot several times and was admitted to a hospital in Chicago.

Even more coincidentally, a reporter was not allowed to enter the intensive care unit of a well-known Chicago hospital. So the reporter suspected that a big shot was dying, and that person was Gilbert Jr.

Looking at these reports, little Gilbert, who had already returned to Los Angeles, was laughing like a pig.

The same is true of the comments online, where most fans and viewers are worried and praying for the crew. A few people pretend to be different, or simply dislike someone, and hope that something bad will happen to the crew.

There are also those who just want to watch the fun and hope that the bigger the incident, the better.

"You really haven't been out and about?" In Cantaloupe Manor, after learning that little Gilbert had returned, Doug Walter hurried to visit him.

Doug Walter finally felt relieved when he saw with his own eyes that little Gilbert was fine.

He knew about the Chicago robbery and had a conflict with the crew, and he felt like the world was falling apart. If something happened to Gilbert Jr., what would happen to Warner Pictures?

Fortunately, not only was Gilbert Jr. fine, but no one in the crew was injured, not even a sprained ankle.

Little Gilbert drank his tea, looked at the distant coast and said: “It is not effective to show up at this time. I will show up when public sentiment is at its highest point.

Doug, please make arrangements and let the reporters interview him when the time comes." Doug Walter understood immediately: "Is this for movie promotion?"

"Of course," Little Gilbert nodded and said, "Although it was an accident, it is also an opportunity for us to use this bank robbery for publicity."

Doug Walter also learned what happened and watched the video.

Although it's a little hard to believe that it was Batman and the Batmobile that blocked the robbers' path, the video recorded it all, and the crew's statements were consistent.

Since there is such an unexpected opportunity, Doug Walter will not miss such a godsend opportunity and will definitely use this opportunity to promote it.

When returning from Chicago, Gilbert Jr.'s safety was the focus of many people's attention.

Little Gilbert first called Naomi Watts and others to report that he was safe and told them that he was fine.

Then he received calls from acquaintances one by one. Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bruce Willis, Sandra Bullock, Elijah Wood and others all called Gilbert Jr. first.

After learning that little Gilbert was fine, these people felt relieved and comforted him.

Some others responded with the greatest malice, speculating whether little Gilbert was dead or not. But the latest result came that little Gilbert was fine, which made these people very upset.

Although I don't understand why Gilbert Jr. didn't come out immediately to tell the public that he was fine, it did not prevent the anti-Gilbert Jr. media from starting to spread rumors, saying that Gilbert Jr. died in the Chicago robbery.

In this way, the incident fermented for a few days, and the Chicago police finally issued an investigation report and held a press conference.

At the press conference, the police described in detail how the robbers committed the crime, including scouting the location, making weapons, escape routes, etc.

"Here, we would like to express our special thanks to the crew of The Dark Knight, because with their help, we were able to capture these criminals in the end."

A reporter immediately asked: "Is Director Gilbert Jr. injured? Where is he now?"

"Sorry, this involves personal privacy and I cannot disclose it." The Chicago police evaded the question, but this led to greater speculation.

Many people are increasingly inclined to believe that something really happened to the crew and that little Gilbert was also in trouble, otherwise he would not have remained out for so long.

Just when the outside world was full of different opinions, ABC TV's special program received a videotape, which showed five gangsters shooting at Batman models and tanks.

So that evening, the TV station broadcast the video on a special program, which instantly spread across the United States. The ratings of the special program became the highest of all programs in the same time period that day, without a doubt.

Only those who watched this video knew that the robbers were delayed that day because they encountered "Batman".

This magical scene instantly gave people the feeling that the dimensional wall had opened and Batman had arrived in the real world.

Although Batman and the Batmobile were shot and smashed by the robbers, and did not look like the comics at all, this did not prevent Batman from catching the criminals in reality, although indirectly.

In an instant, this video once again aroused the public's expectations for superheroes, especially Batman.

This kind of thing is hard to come by, it's rare to encounter it once.

The discussion on the Internet has become even more lively. For fantasy-loving movie fans, there is nothing more exciting than Batman appearing in the real world to catch criminals.

"It turns out that Batman really came to the real world."

"He can even help catch criminals? This Batman is going to be something special. I'm already looking forward to it."

"I had no intention of going to the cinema to watch this movie even if it was directed by Gilbert Jr., but now I have to watch it."

"It's really amazing. If you listen carefully to the video, the robbers are all shouting Batman. It seems that they all take it seriously."

"I don't care about anything else. I just want to know if little Gilbert is okay."

The day after the video was released, Cameron Diaz, the producer of "Batman Begins", came forward for an interview.

"I was not at the scene when the incident happened, but I have seen little Gilbert. He is fine. Thank you for your concern."

Everyone knows the relationship between Cameron Diaz and Gilbert Jr., so her words reassure the fans. Cameron Diaz then recounted the incident in detail, giving the public a general understanding of the incident.

Then, people who were familiar with the crew came forward one after another and revealed the relevant details to the media.

So the Chicago robbery became Batman helping the police capture five fierce gangsters in Chicago, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole United States to the movie "Batman Begins".

The lead actor Christian Bale, who was present on the day of the incident, also came forward and said that he witnessed the entire incident and that the robbers were indeed scared by Batman.

Afterwards, a criminal psychology expert came out to analyze the case.

This is because the robbers were extremely nervous and subconsciously took the incident seriously when they suddenly encountered Batman, the criminal-fighting character in comics and movies.

But no matter what the robbers thought, this robbery allowed "Butterfly Begins" to escape the embarrassing situation caused by the previous seven-year hiatus.

Now, everyone is waiting for Gilbert Jr. to come out and see what he thinks about this matter.
