Gotham.
The heavy rain poured down.
On the edge of a tall building, two figures darted and leaped through the rain, engaged in a fierce battle.
The figure wearing a red helmet moved nimbly, a flash of cold light in his hand as several darts shot towards his opponent like lightning.
Batman reacted swiftly, raising his black cape like a huge wing spread out in the night sky, accurately blocking the darts.
"Jason, stop, I'm here to help you."
There were few people in this world that Batman couldn't find.
Red Hood was silent for a moment, then removed the mask from his face, revealing a young man.
He threw the helmet on the ground, and it rolled to a stop in front of Batman.
"Help me?
If you really wanted to help me, why find a replacement, why not kill the Joker, why only find me after I died!"
Red Hood's voice echoed in the heavy rain, filled with endless questions and pain.
A bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, the stark white light momentarily illuminating the area.
Jason was stunned.
He saw the rain sliding down Batman's chin.
Was he crying?
A trace of doubt flashed through Jason's mind, but he quickly dismissed the thought.
Impossible.
He was Batman, the Dark Knight who would never be defeated.
After a moment of silence, Batman spoke: "I'm sorry, but I did my best to save you, Jason."
"Save me?
You should save yourself first."
Red Hood sneered and pressed a button.
Beep, beep, beep.
The helmet at Batman's feet began to sound.
He kicked it away and dropped to the ground.
Boom!
The sky exploded.
When Batman looked up again, he saw Red Hood's figure receding into the distance.
He gave chase.
The two continued to fight, rushing from the edge of the skyscrapers into a dim restroom.
In the cramped space, the sound of fists and feet colliding echoed continuously, accompanied by the sound of rain pouring in through the broken window, making it particularly intense.
Bang!
Batman delivered a swift flying kick, sending Red Hood flying.
Red Hood crashed heavily through the wall, falling to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
"I have to say, no matter which world you're from, your parenting skills are as bad as ever."
A strange voice suddenly rang out.
Only then did Batman and Red Hood realize that there was someone else in the room.
"Demon King, why are you here?"
"Who are you?"
Both frowned simultaneously.
One because the Demon King hadn't left this world.
The other, because his safe house had been found.
"Because before I left, I remembered there was one last thing to do."
With that, Kino opened the door to the side.
The Joker was tied to a chair.
"Hahahahaha, Batman, do you like this surprise?
This kid crawled out of hell with great difficulty to hold this carnival party.
Did anyone bring a camera?
Let me take a picture with them first, hahaha!"
The shrill laughter echoed throughout the room.
Click, click, click!
A series of flashes stimulated the Joker's eyes, causing him to squint involuntarily.
"Why aren't you laughing?
You should know that it will be difficult for you to laugh so happily in the future."
Kino looked at the photos in his hand.
No matter how he took them, they were all ugly.
The Joker in this world was really ugly.
"Who are you, a reporter?
Oh, God, Batman, your identity has been exposed, kill him quickly."
The Joker kept instigating Batman.
"Let me see what I should choose for you."
Four points of light appeared in Kino's hand, instantly sinking into the Joker's body.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"
A shrill scream echoed throughout the room.
"Stop!"
Batman took out a batarang to stop him.
"You're the one who should stop!"
Red Hood pounced on Batman, and the two rolled into a ball on the ground.
Soon, Batman once again knocked down Red Hood and went to check on the Joker.
Was he okay?
There were only some superficial injuries.
And he was asleep.
"Don't worry, I won't kill the Joker, never."
Kino smiled slightly.
"What did you do to him?"
Batman found that he couldn't wake the Joker no matter what.
"It's nothing, I just stuffed the souls of a sloth, a koala, a dormouse, and a brown bat into his soul.
I don't know when he'll wake up."
Batman was silent.
The souls of the four animals with the longest sleep times meant he would never wake up in this life.
"Hahaha, Batman, are you going to hire a caregiver for him?
Or are you going to take care of him yourself?"
Red Hood laughed.
What was the difference between this and the Joker being dead?
"Kid, here, this is a gift from your uncle."
Kino threw a tablet over, then disappeared.
Batman raised his hand, wanting to intercept it, then gave up.
Red Hood caught the tablet.
On it was a video of Batman.
(Have you ever cried in your life?
Twice.
Once when my parents were killed by robbers when I was ten, and the second time when my adopted son was killed by the Joker.)
A complex emotion surged in Red Hood's heart.
So, this seemingly indestructible man would also cry because of his death.
"Tch, boring."
Although Red Hood said so, he carefully put away the tablet and walked towards the door.
"Sunday, remember to come home, Alfred misses you."
Batman watched him walk past him and said.
"…"
Red Hood didn't say anything, quickened his pace, and disappeared into the darkness.

The invasion crisis in this world had only just begun.
A swarm of Parademons poured out, rushing towards the heroes of this world.
"FK, Batman, is this how you're guarding the Mother Box!"
Hal Jordan cursed angrily.
He conjured a row of heavy machine guns, and green bullets tore through the Parademons in the sky.
"Focus."
Batman drove the Batmobile, dodging attacks while watching Steppenwolf gathering the Mother Boxes not far away.
Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg were constantly trying to stop the Mother Boxes from uniting.
"Dedicate this world to Darkseid."
The three Mother Boxes in front of Steppenwolf had turned into a polyhedron, rotating irregularly.
Mysterious energy was constantly intertwined, and they were about to completely fuse.
"Barry, action."
Batman pressed the button in his hand.
"Coming."
A yellow lightning bolt shot from the distance like a meteor, instantly passing through everyone and arriving in front of the Mother Boxes.
The Flash, Barry, poured all the lightning he had accumulated into the Mother Boxes.
At the same time, the pre-installed program was also activated.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The Mother Boxes began to tremble.
Cracks began to spread continuously on the surface.
"Damn it, what did you do!"
Steppenwolf swung his axe down, but unfortunately, Barry had already run far away.
His mission had been completed.
"Everyone retreat!"
Bruce gave the order.
The others also saw the abnormality of the Mother Boxes and rushed out without saying a word.
Only the Parademons and Steppenwolf remained in place.
"No, no, no…"
Steppenwolf watched the cracks spreading continuously on the Mother Boxes in panic, his eyes filled with fear.
At the moment when the last crack appeared on the Mother Boxes, a dazzling white light burst out.
A boom tube was opened.
The tube emitted a powerful suction force, constantly devouring the nearby Parademons and buildings.
Hal looked at the collapsing buildings behind him and asked in confusion.
"What did you do?"
Batman drove calmly.
"I just found the coordinates of Apokolips, then switched the positions of the tubes, and left them a little gift, it's very simple, isn't it?"
"Not simple at all, you pervert."
Hal said, but he was also completely convinced by Batman.
The heavy rain poured down.
On the edge of a tall building, two figures darted and leaped through the rain, engaged in a fierce battle.
