Chapter 25 Alfred
Saying goodbye to the young now, pretending to be Batman's vulture, Ethan takes Tony back to the desolate planet.
This time they are going to the Dark Knight trilogy to see how Bruce Wayne went from being a young man who died of both parents and had countless billions of property waiting to inherit, becoming a superhero walking in the dark.
"Actually, these Batman worlds are a bit interesting."
Although Ethan herself doesn't like the "style" of this world very much, the heroine's appearance is good in the four Batman filmed from the 1980s to the 1990s.
However, when he thought of the Catwoman in Batman's return, the first-generation Waspwoman who rescued from the quantum field a while ago, he suddenly felt that it seemed like a good thing that he couldn't get over?
Otherwise, Tony would be unable to control himself and something happened to Catwoman. How could he work with Dr. Hank Pim after he went back?
"I think you're thinking of something bad."
Tony didn't say anything, just watching Ethan in a daze, and intuition told him that Ethan must have said bad things in his heart.
"You're thinking too much, I'm 'locating' the specific location of that universe."
"So the location was found?"
"I found it, let's go now."
Although he has the name of Batman, the Dark Knight trilogy has little to do with the entire DC universe, and it can even be said to have nothing to do with it. It can be regarded as a completely separate universe.
In this world, Batman is just an ordinary person, not the so-called ordinary person with various human limits in comics, but a real ordinary person.
Bruce Wayne, who has received strict training, has not been strong enough to the limit of the human body. He is just generally strong and cannot gain the upper hand when fighting with some villains. He relies more on combat wisdom and various weapons and props to achieve his goals.
"Should you make a plan this time?"
When the plane shuttle was completed and standing in the chaotic Gotham, Ethan and Tony looked at each other.
This time Tony will definitely have contact with Bruce Wayne and will not always hide in the dark and peep in the dark like before.
In addition, the background of the Batman world was in the last century and the Internet was not completely popularized. Tony and Ethan did not even "implant" their identity. They just wandered around Gotham anyway, and the city was extremely chaotic, so no one would check their identity in normal times.
This time, the Batman world background was in the first decade of the 21st century. At this time, many technologies were no longer far from the times when Tony lived. He could do something he was familiar with and created two real identities for Ethan and himself.
"At this time, Bruce Wayne shouldn't have become Batman yet, right?"
When creating a new identity, Tony also checked some information, including Bruce Wayne who had been missing for several years. According to the "information" he knew, Bruce Wayne should be traveling everywhere at this time.
"Batman will be born after he comes back, and now Bruce Wayne is still experiencing life everywhere."
In the Dark Knight trilogy, in order to "understand" some criminals' psychology, Bruce Wayne travels around the world and even truly participates in criminal operations.
At the beginning of the film, he was arrested by police from a certain country and was imprisoned before being found by the Ninja Master of the Shadow Dancer League. Then he entered the Shadow Dancer League for more "high-level" training. It was also the training in the Shadow Dancer League that laid the foundation for the birth of Batman.
"What are you thinking?"
The two of them randomly found a coffee shop and sat down. When Ethan saw Tony suddenly not saying a word, he was curious about what this guy was thinking about?
"I'm wondering if I'll go find Bruce Wayne who's still wandering now, or find a place to wait for him to come back?"
According to normal circumstances, it is much easier to find Bruce Wayne at this time, because at this time he is not a famous rich man, but a penniless homeless man. It is very easy to get in touch with him at this time.
When he returns to Gotham and takes back his identity he once placed beside him, it will not be that simple to get closer.
"It's okay to go find him now, right?"
"I was just thinking that finding him at this time doesn't seem to answer my questions."
During this period, Bruce Wayne was full of questions in his mind. He was looking for various answers himself. How could he answer Tony?
"Actually, even if he became Batman, I don't think he can answer your question now. At most, just talk about his current thoughts..."
The one who can really answer Tony's question should be the Dark Knight who has been a Dark Knight for several years, and even has experienced countless hesitations, strengthening the mature stage of Batman in his heart.
Even if this person returns to Gotham, he will at most think of the way to deter evil people with fear.
"In other words, at least how many years will it take?"
Of course he couldn't live in this world for a few years, but he didn't necessarily need to get an answer. He came here this time and wanted to meet the Batman he wanted to meet, and it didn't matter anything else.
"Since there is no difference, let's go find him now."
"If we want to meet Bruce Wayne now, we need to go to Wayne Manor first."
Ethan knew the approximate location of Bruce Wayne, but it was not that easy to find someone in such a large area.
He was not willing to rush around like a headless fly. He was going to Wayne Manor to get a few things that Bruce Wayne had used and then position him.
"Let's go."
Tony thought of the old butler of Batman, who was loyal to serving the Wayne family. I guess anyone envied the Wayne family that there was such a butler.
If Jarvis hadn't been there, Tony would have even wanted to dig the old housekeeper to himself, although there was almost no chance of success.
After the two left the cafe, they stopped a taxi and successfully arrived at Wayne Manor.
The Wayne family is very famous in Gotham. Everyone knows the Wayne family, so it is not difficult to find this place.
However, in the eyes of the locals, the Wayne family is already lonely. After all, the only heir has been missing for several years. In the eyes of most people, the last member of the Wayne family has passed away.
Without descendants, the Wayne family has been destroyed in name only. Even the Wayne group is controlled by the "outsiders", and sooner or later it will become another group.
Taxi drivers basically have their own chattering attributes, and Ethan and Tony learned about these situations without asking them deliberately.
"Bruce Wayne's equity is currently managed by the old butler Alfred. As long as Alfred is not surprised, the Wayne family will not lose their own company."
"What a loyal butler."
Neither of them had the habit of knocking on the door. Ethan waved his hand gently. Without waiting for Ethan's reminder, Tony followed him and directly "passed through the illusory iron gate in front of him.
It looks like two people passing through an illusory image. After the two people walked over, the slightly illusory door returned to normal.
Wayne Manor is a huge manor with a vast area. Although it has a bit old and the owner of the manor has been around for many years, the entire manor has not become dilapidated with the careful care of the old butler. Except for no one seems too quiet, everything is normal. It is as if the Wayne family still lives in this city.
However, the two of them walked in so swayingly without any cover, and Alfred had already noticed the two invaders.
The old gentleman from England walked out of the mansion, then stood at the door with a calm look on his face, quietly waiting for Ethan and Tony to come to the front.
"Traveling into a private residence is not a gentleman's act, gentlemen."
"It doesn't matter whether a gentleman is now, we are here to find Bruce Wayne."
Alfred looked at the two men in front of him with a look of surprise. As an old housekeeper with rich experience, he could see that neither of these two men were ordinary people.
The clothes they wear look ordinary, but they are very particular about workmanship and fabrics. They should have a good background, especially the older one who looks at people. Only those with good backgrounds can develop this habit.
"Mr. Wayne is not at home now, I believe both of you know this."
The shock caused by Bruce Wayne's disappearance is by no means limited to the city of Gotham. As the sole heir to the top major North American groups, Bruce Wayne has received no less attention than Tony in the Marvel world.
"I know." Ethan nodded: "But I have a way to find him, I just need your help."
"Um?"
Alfred did not look so surprised by Ethan's words. He has also encountered many liars who want to use Bruce Wayne to make a fuss over the years. If he hadn't had a pair of sharp eyes, the Wayne's property would have been drained by the liars.
"I need a few things that Bruce Wayne has used, as long as it is used for a long time."
Although Alfred still had the same poker face, he still showed a little disappointed look.
He thought Ethan had some way, but he didn't expect to use this kind of charlatan to cheat money? Did he treat him as a confused person?
Although he is not young anymore and it is normal to be regarded as a fool, Alfred is still very unhappy, so his tone is not so polite.
"I'm sorry, I don't believe you. I have to emphasize again that you are now breaking into private territory without authorization. If you don't leave, I will exercise my due power."
