Chapter 2878 Bat Stew (Part )
The Batman of the main universe actually discovered before that although the Batmen are generally the same, there are still some differences in details, such as different ages, temperaments, and many appearances.
The Batman of the main universe classifies the appearances of all Batmen into several categories. The first category is those who are almost exactly like himself. The second category is those who should look like himself, but are slightly different due to age issues. The third category is those who should also look like himself, but have different temperaments and are not very similar. The fourth category is those who don't look like him at all.
That bastard belongs to a combination of the second and third categories, which means that, theoretically, they should look exactly the same, but because of their different ages and temperaments, they do not look alike.
Regarding Bruce's age, the main universe Batman actually also found a problem. In the past few years, he did not seem to have aged. He suspected that this might be because Bruce obtained a mysterious power that kept his appearance in his twenties forever.
Of course, it may also be because no matter how old this guy is, he looks like an uneducated second-rate person, so people feel that he is very young.
At this time, the other Batman who was having a good chat with the Waynes belonged to the third category. That is, he actually looked exactly like the Batman in the main universe, but because their temperaments were so different, they did not look very similar.
The biggest difference in temperament is that this guy is a bit more sunny, and not as crazy as Bruce, but a very normal and healthy sunshine.
How far has it gotten? Whenever the main universe Batman stands next to him, he always feels that he is the one who is wrong.
The last person who made him feel this way was the newly debuted Superman. Note, it was the small-town youth who had just debuted. The later God of the World was still a little short of that. Years of working as a reporter in big cities made him lack a bit of simplicity.
But at this moment, the Batman in the main universe saw this kind of temperament in a Batman that combined positivity, simplicity, clarity and open-mindedness. He saw the same temperament in Tim, so he felt that this might be their adoptive father.
There's something magical about looking in the mirror at someone who looks exactly like you, especially when that person looks just like you but is completely different in every way.
It's hard for the main universe Batman to resist observing him.
The guy who looks exactly like him, the main universe Batman now calls him Sunshine Batman, showing a sunny smile that is completely worthy of his code name.
It was not Bruce's slightly evil laugh, nor was it the pretentious laugh of Batman, but a very normal smile, even a warm smile full of nostalgia.
"That was a long time ago," he said. "I was hiding in my bedroom and Alfred said he made my favorite cookies, but I was too depressed to move, so he opened the door and put cookies and milk by my bed."
"I slept for more than ten hours. When I woke up, my stomach ached as if it was going to swallow me, but I found that the milk was still warm. Alfred must have been watching over me."
"I know he's old and can't stay up all night like this. To reassure him, I ate some cookies and sandwiches, drank a large glass of milk, and pushed him back to his room."
"When I returned to bed, I found myself unable to sleep, so I sat there sorting out your belongings. It took me about half the night to put them all in a box."
"The next morning, I drank a cup of strong tea and cheered myself up to attend your funeral. The MC skipped the viewing of the remains. I guess Alfred was afraid of scaring me."
"But then he found a psychologist for me, and in the following years, I had to fill out forms almost every two months. Fortunately, I passed all the assessments."
The nostalgic look on this Batman's face became more and more intense, but almost all Batmen are not nostalgic, as there is almost nothing worth remembering in their first half of life.
But when this Batman showed a nostalgic look, the other Batmen suddenly understood what he was remembering.
"The first child I adopted was named Dick. He came from a gymnastics family and some bad things happened to him. But when he first came to Wayne Manor, I will never forget the surprised, terrified and slightly suspicious look on his face."
"He seemed to be wondering if he was dreaming. My only regret was that I didn't record it so I could show it to him every time I caught him running around the estate."
"Once he found the box and opened it, and I walked in, and he had that look on his face again, like he'd done something wrong, but I knew he hadn't, because it wasn't something that was taboo, and I would never teach my kids that death was taboo."
The main universe Batman tightened his hands slightly, but he was not holding anything in his hands. The moment his fingertips touched the palm of his hand, he bounced back as if he was electrocuted.
"We looked at the pictures in the box together, and I told him about the time I spent with you, and how even though it wasn't very long, there were still many good memories, and then he told me about his."
"We both don't mind that the other person has very little to say. When I see him sitting on the bed holding the box, it's like I'm seeing myself back then. There are biscuits and warm milk on the bedside, and he can sleep for more than ten hours."
The Waynes sitting at the table listened quietly, as if making up for the decades they had missed in their children's lives. The other Batmen seemed to be doing their own things, but if their pointed ears really had hearing, they would definitely be standing higher than the other, because they had more to make up for.
"My second adopted child was a troublemaker who stole the tires of my Batmobile, which showed his passion and talent enough that I called the disaster that followed his death the jealousy of God."
"We went through a disaster together. We were both not very well during that period. He fell asleep and didn't eat when he was depressed. When he woke up, he was overly irritable and smashed everything to pieces."
"When the drugs were not taking effect, he would have nightmares constantly, then wake up with a start, and lie on the side of the bed vomiting, even though he couldn't vomit anything. When the drugs were taking effect, he would sit by the window in a daze, as if he couldn't think at all."
"This situation lasted for half a year. I was very glad that the group didn't have any urgent work and Batman was a freelancer. I took a half-year leave and nothing serious happened. Dick helped me share those trivial tasks. At that time, I realized that he had grown up."
"Then Jason gradually got better. Frequent psychotherapy and medication, even twice a day, took effect. His sanity began to return gradually. I felt that the communication with Dick was very effective, so I showed him your photos."
"But unfortunately, he still acted very confused. It seemed that parents were a very strange concept to him, and he had no sense of reality for the details of parent-child relationship that I described."
"I realised it was a problem so I started working on it, restoring the play area in the garden which had been abandoned for more than a decade, making swings out of tyres, burying the brackets for the uneven bars in the soil, making seesaws and slides, just like Thomas did for me."
"Jason seemed surprised when he saw all this. He felt embarrassed, panicked and in disbelief. Then he told me that he was too old to play with these things."
"But he didn't refuse." Batman laughed and said, "Because he just likes tires, even if it means sitting on them and swinging back and forth."
"We spent a lot of boring time there. He sat on the tire, swinging with his hands on the rope, I sat in the sand pit, writing and drawing with branches, talking about some interesting chemical reactions, and Dick jumped steadily from the tree to the uneven bars with his amazing balance like a gymnastics expert."
"Every afternoon was like this until the weather turned gloomy, it started to rain, and it was hot and muggy, and we would go back to the pavilion in the garden and have afternoon tea prepared by Alfred."
"Of course, there was also a little guy I would never expect, old Drake's son. He discovered my identity and quickly joined our gang, squatting in the sand pit with me."
"I always feel that he is the one who is most like me. His father always complains to me that he gave Wayne's family a son. I won't say it, but I laugh in my heart every time."
"Because if I have one more, he will have one less. If Tim uses the energy he puts into the Wayne Group's business on the Drake Group, the Wayne Group will have another formidable competitor."
"Of course I'm only talking about my sons. As for my daughters, Cassandra is my favorite. She is the most skilled of all and the girl I admire the most. She is like a superhero."
"But maybe that's how fathers and daughters are. If I had met her earlier, she would have been the sweetheart who understood me the most. But now it's a bit awkward. She has some little secrets of her own that she doesn't want to tell me, and I can't always ask about them. I just hope that one day I won't hear bad news about her dating."
"I have to mention Barbara, but she is too independent. Her father taught her very well. She often plays the role of hostess in the Bat Family. She is a little more reliable than Catwoman. At least she has never taught anyone pickpocketing skills."
"And Duke, the sports kid, came along and we were finally able to play ball games in the backyard. Unfortunately, Damian came along and I had to stop all competitive sports because he would play until he won."
"Damian really looks 80% like his mother, and of the remaining 20%, one-tenth looks like his grandfather. Every time I meet Talia, she complains. I admit that I have never paid her child support, but that is no reason for her to let Damian demolish Wayne Manor."
"When I first met Damian, I thought I would finally have the chance to raise a real child instead of a half-grown teenager, but alas, at the age of four, Damian's grammar is better than mine."
Batman kept muttering to himself for a long time, but no one interrupted him. The atmosphere in the cave was so quiet.
No Batman looked over here, and no one seemed to care. They suddenly became busy, as if there was some century-old problem that had to be solved at this moment. If they were really doing academic research in this atmosphere, this short period of time would be enough for them to master controlled nuclear fusion.
But they all knew whether they were thinking about the topics they had thought about in the past. At least the Batman in the main universe knew that he had just been thinking about where he had put the relics of his parents that he had sorted out many years ago.
Even now that he came to his senses, he just felt a little funny - "Protecting a Batman like this? Me?"
