Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 859 Undercurrent
Batman, who always remains calm in the face of anything, is a bit at a loss lately because the superhero magical girl who recently appeared in Gotham seems to be related to him, perhaps by blood. But he has taken good precautions, and even his old butler has nowhere to put his needles. How could she have slipped through the net?

With Batman's methods, obtaining some samples would be effortless, so he returned to the Batcave early, unusually, and stared intently at the instruments he had checked multiple times.

The instruments in the Batcave are naturally top-of-the-line, and the results are quick. But when the results come out, even Batman himself doesn't know what kind of feeling he has. Is it vigilance, suspicion, fear, excitement, or relief?

The fact that his own bloodline continued to exist threw Batman's heart, which was already immersed in coldness and darkness, into disarray, and he seemed to hear the Joker's maniacal laughter in his ears.

"Damian, you're amazing! The crime rate on this street has dropped by fifteen percent, and hundreds of people will be saved every year because of it. You're much better than Batman," the clown girl in the pink apron said, bringing over dinner and praising Damian as he sat there.

To outsiders, the Joker seems even crazier, because he has completely abandoned crime, and doesn't even play games with Batman anymore. Instead, he focuses on raising Damian, cooking for him himself and giving him thoughtful encouragement, just like a caring mother.

"Hmph, I'm not a weak Batman, naive enough to think I can save this city with my fists." Damian is just a child, what does she know? Although she's reluctant to admit it, she already believes that the Harley Quinn understands her needs better than her mother and grandfather, not to mention that annoying Batman.

"I knew Damian was the best. Come on, eat more vegetables so you can get stronger, take down more criminals, and become the guardian of this city." After putting down the vegetable salad, the clown girl sat down, put her hands in front of her chin, and said with a smile.

"I hate eating vegetables." Despite saying that, Damian still obediently ate the loving dinner that the clown girl had carefully prepared, including the vegetables.

After finishing her meal, Damian couldn't wait to transform into a magical girl, full of energy as she entered the night to continue fighting evil. She wanted to prove to Batman that she was the only one who could save Gotham!
What's happening right now is absurd, unscientific, and clownish, especially the clownish kind of thing we see today.

The Joker and Batman represent the opposite of Gotham City, forming a certain balance. Once this balance is disrupted, unexpected major events will occur, such as the Batman Who Laughs, the Pale Knight, or even a reversal of all sides.

In one world, after Batman's death, the Joker even became an office worker out of boredom, which shows how crazy he was.

The arrival of the Batman couple, and their act of abandoning their respective identities, undoubtedly had some impact on Batman and the Joker, adding certain traits to them.

Batman is dark and restrained enough that his changes are minimal, or at least not obvious. But the Joker is more unrestrained. To him, the game of pretend is incredibly fun. If necessary, he would even be willing to die in Damian's arms like Nan's abusive mother, just to plant a seed of hatred for the abusive Batman in her heart.

The Joker is capable of anything, which is why Batman, knowing that Damian is his descendant and lives with the Joker, dares not act rashly, because he doesn't know what the Joker might do.

If it were the Joker of the past, one could still guess what he was thinking based on his crazy behavior, but after he became the Joker Girl, even Batman gave up trying to guess what he was thinking.

The combination of a crazy clown and female psychology is simply unbeatable!

Batman's excessive caution and reactions made his interactions with Damian, who was already not good at expressing himself, a complete disaster. This is why Harley Quinn was overjoyed and maintained her maternal image.

After another unpleasant parting, Damian stormed off in anger. Batman, unable to stop her from using magic without harming her, could only remain silent.

The two Norwegian Forest Cats who had been watching were speechless; these were descendants of the Wayne family.

"Bruce is too young to entrust the Wayne family's descendants to such an extremely dangerous guy as the Joker. If it were me, I would have been better off," Batman said with a hint of nostalgia.

Although they were happy and excited to see their son, Bruce's terrible handling of family relationships was making the two cats so worried that they were almost losing their fur, but there was nothing they could do, since they were just cats now.

After Batman left, the female cat, seemingly lost in thought and growing increasingly angry, suddenly pounced on the male cat, her claws flashing like afterimages. The male cat, feeling both wronged and speechless, could only sigh and bury his face in his hands; what could he do but lament? He had forgotten that his wife had once been the Joker. Batman's unusual behavior was quickly noticed by the city of Gotham, and thus, undercurrents began to stir.

Batman has had his share of mishaps, especially in Gotham, which not only has a group of highly intelligent criminals but also the Court of Owls that are constantly watching him.

The Court of Owls is not the Gotham Clique; they have been rooted in the city since before it was even established, and are deeply entrenched there.

However, the appearance of the Cat God put immense pressure on the Court of Owls, causing it to lose a large number of Gotham elites and billionaires in a short period of time.

There's no way around it; the higher-ups at the Owl Court also need to make a living. Whether they get rich or not is hard to say, but a large portion of their profits will definitely be handed over, and their methods are even more ruthless. "Following the crowd prospers, resisting them perishes" is no joke. Although it might not involve the extermination of nine generations of relatives, the entire family will certainly be wiped out.

The God of Cats is different. He doesn't want money, wealth, or power, let alone women. The divine grace he bestows is real and substantial. Most importantly, he has immense strength. Even the claws that the Court of Owls relies on have become living generators in the hamster cages. As such, who would choose to continue clinging to the Court of Owls?

This not only caused the higher-ups at the Owl Court to lose their sense of superiority, but also a more fatal sense of security, making them increasingly anxious.

The inner unease led the higher-ups of the Court of Owls to try to change things, so they decided to implement a plan to use Batman to please their god, and then use that god against that god.

Just having this idea shows how devout they are, but that's not important. What's important is that they want to regain control of Gotham.

The best person to carry out this plan would have been the Joker, but the Clown Girl, who was obsessed with playing house, didn't care about such things.

Fortunately, Gotham has never lacked criminal geniuses, and so a super rookie with an impressive resume came into the sights of the courts of owls.

Gotham, fraught with hidden dangers, is not an isolated case. In fact, a Kryptonian invasion, coupled with the battle between Superman and Zod, severely stimulated the sensitive nerves of Earthlings.

Having long been accustomed to being at the top of the food chain, they find themselves looking like ants in the eyes of aliens. Who could stand that, especially the U.S., with its persecution complex and compulsive persecution of others?

The cooperation with that bald man was only part of it; all sorts of messy organizations, such as the Sky Eye Society, the Shadow Bureau, and the Interstellar Laboratory, sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Meanwhile, superheroes such as The Flash and Aquaman have gradually shown their presence, and not long ago, an alien spaceship landed in the coastal city.

The Kryptonian invasion, much like Tony's famous line "I am Iron Man," ushered in a new era, which led to Batman's workload increasing day by day.

Anyone who tries to control everything will inevitably suffer from it, and Batman is no exception. Moreover, his weaknesses are equally fatal.

As long as he stirs up trouble in Gotham, it's easy to attract Batman's attention, which is also the beginning of a series of conspiracies. The city's criminals are desperately trying to drain the dark hero's energy, forcing him to enter the final stage in the worst possible condition.

Such a big matter could not be kept secret from Catwoman and Penguin, who were the local bigwigs.

Perhaps the Cat God won't care, but whether or not to report is a matter of attitude. Besides, it's a chance to show off in front of the Cat God, so why not?
