And obviously this time the Batman Who Laughs can be considered to have failed.

If one has to review the reasons for his failure, Schiller believes that one is due to insufficient information, and two is due to the persona of the Batman Who Laughs who anticipates the anticipation, he pays too much attention to anticipation.

The first point has nothing to say. This plan looks like just an attempt by the Batman Who Laughs, because anyone can see that the information in his hands is insufficient. Whether it is about Schiller or Marvel, he knows too little. This time it can only be considered blind fighting.

The second point is what Schiller gradually discovered after coming to this universe, because there are indeed destiny trajectories and time flows, and magic and prophecy also exist, which proves that things in the future anchored by prophecy are not impossible.

But all the characters Schiller has encountered who have the setting of being able to predict the future, or are simply future visitors, have an ambiguous attitude toward this.

First is the future Barry who returned to the present through the Speed Force. It seems that he is very familiar with Schiller, and may even have owed Schiller a paper at some point in time.

But he didn't come up and tell Schiller what the future is like. Even if someone was curious to ask, he basically answered vaguely, only saying a general direction.

The Time Variance Authority and He Who Remains are also like this, especially Kang. Because Schiller communicates a lot with him at the Sanctum Sanctorum, every time he mentions the future, he shakes his head and says some things that he is not very sure about.

And what makes Schiller feel most obvious are the David and Franklin he met this time. These two are clearly written on paper as being able to predict the future, but they have never said very firmly that the future is like this or that.

This makes Schiller believe that anchored futures do exist, but it is also possible that because of various choices and accidents, different branches are produced, and which one is the main trunk in the end is also uncertain.

So this leads to the fact that existences headed by the Batman Who Laughs, who actually don't have the paper setting of being able to predict the future, but engage in some strange reasoning and anticipation, believe in the future they inferred more than those who can truly see the future.

Because those who can truly see may be able to see the complicated future branches from another perspective, but people who don't have this ability but insist on reasoning don't have such a God's perspective. Their cognition is limited to their own perspective. One is one, two is two. The more rigorous the logic, the less uncertainty there is.

This is also one of Batman's characteristics. If you tell him there is only one murderer, he nods in agreement. If you tell him the future is blurred and unpredictable and always swaying, even if there are facts to convince him, he doesn't like it in his heart and cannot feel a sense of security from such facts.

The biggest weakness of the Batman Who Laughs is that his anticipation is always right.

It can be said that he does all multiple-choice questions effortlessly. Even if he doesn't understand the principle at all, he can always choose the right one. This gives him an inherent constant logic, that is, this question must have a correct answer, because only if there is a correct answer can he choose the right one.

But if you suddenly tell him that the answer to this question is actually performing quantum swaying among three options, and before a certain moment, or even before every moment, the results are completely uncertain, and it is even possible that the question and the answer collapse and disappear together, then his choice is by no means to accept his fate, but to start talking about possibilities and probabilities and other precise data, insisting on choosing a correct answer.

Previous successes will make him too superstitious about making the right choice, which will make him believe that as long as all the choices I make along the way are right, I can achieve the best result in the sense of probability. This is also the main reason for the failure of his plan this time.

First of all, the Batman Who Laughs set up at least three layers of dolls for this plan. The egg of the Batman Who Laughs in Bruce's body is used to paralyze Schiller. The egg in Batman's body is used to divert Batman's attention. The aggressiveness of the Speed Force Death itself is used to cover the eyes and ears of the Marvel crowd. And the real killer move, that egg he wanted to throw into the Marvel universe, was wrapped under all these shells.

In all these doll plans, the Batman Who Laughs has basically done his best, because even Schiller and the main universe's Batman failed to truly investigate anything along these clues. He didn't leave any clues, and the head and tail were cleaned up very cleanly.

The failure of the first layer of shells lies in the arrogance of becoming deeply bound to the Joker and Batman, so he paid attention to Batman's abnormality too early and dug out the eggs in advance. This actually hasn't reflected the problem of the Batman Who Laughs being too superstitious about anticipation and anchored futures.

But the failure of the second layer of shells can explain the problem very well. The process of these Batmen being discovered and rescued can be said to be a mess. Schiller had no established plan and did whatever he wanted. Bruce played the nature of a street urchin and wandered around. The only thing that was a bit certain was the main universe's Batman. As a result, the wandering Iron Man averaged the probability back to the origin.

Too many uncertain factors collide with greater randomness. Everyone is in a mess. There is no clear plan, and there is no accurate purpose. The whole process is mainly about wandering.

It can be imagined that the original process in the design of the Batman Who Laughs should have been chasing the clues of one of the universe's meteorites, gradually finding the various universes where the mysterious pollutants traveled, and then rescuing the various Dark Batmen.

But the actual process is a group of blind cats brushing WeChat steps here, and then respectively encountering the dead mice destined for them.

The Dark Knights were all gathered, and they completed this background story. It belongs to the cause and effect being reversed.

This led to the background story carefully designed by the Batman Who Laughs, those mysterious brainwave dark energy and mysterious blood used to distract attention, from beginning to end, didn't become the main story, but became side missions, each choosing according to their interests, and didn't delay them at all in discovering the egg of the Batman Who Laughs by accident.

And the third layer of shells, that is, the threat of the Speed Force Death itself, was actually a heart disease for Nick and others, but it happened that David was such an accident. This super mutant happened to have a personality that could perfectly manipulate time, which could capture the Speed Force Death alive, which naturally allowed the Marvel crowd to get a glimpse of its essence.

Schiller actually suspects that this might not be an accident either. After all, the suggestion proposed by Franklin, who came from the future, was actually a message passed by a certain doctor in the future. This doctor is either Anatoly or Schiller himself, and perhaps it is a part of their plan.

But if David hadn't broken out at that time, it would have been difficult to easily exchange his help by providing some mechanical clone bodies, and David's loss of control and outbreak can indeed be called an accident.

So after everything is over, from the perspective of looking at the overall situation, the Batman Who Laughs looks more like the protagonist who is good at dancing, calculating everything, formulating all plans, and leading things to the path favorable to him, while Schiller's side is chaotic, each for his own master, and it seems that it is all by luck that they succeeded.

But in fact, it is still the same sentence. People who are too superstitious about their own choices and identify with a certain anchored future that has the most rationality, but do not leave space for countless strange accidents in the world, are almost doomed to fail.

And many organizations that look like a grassroots team, where everyone is broken and doesn't know what they are doing, sliding and crashing in random trajectories on the spot, instead, they may become the final winner, because humans have come all the way like this.

It sounds a bit pessimistic and desperate, but so far, the development trajectory of the human race cannot be said to be steadily following the laws, but it can only be said that it relies on a huge number of blind cats to encounter enough dead mice.

Everyone knows what is right and what is good, but they just can't do it, because some people don't want to do it even if it hurts others and doesn't benefit themselves, some people want to do it full of hope but unfortunately can't do it, some people and others clearly want to do it but crash into pieces because of accidents, and some people and others don't want to do it but are pushed by some inexplicable forces to be forced to do it.

Think about it, if the vast majority of people who want to do it, have the ability to do it, and finally succeed in doing it, would this world still be the ghost look it is now?

The biggest weakness of a person who is destined not to fail is that he cannot accept unexpected success, whether it is his own or others'. Once this success has nothing to do with him and comes from some inexplicable heaven's time, he will be even more inexplicably broken.

Just when Schiller finally finished solving the recent psychological problems of the Robins and started discussing the camping trip with Alfred, he received a call from Batman.

"Doctor, sorry, I can't go back for the time being. The universe I am in now has been invaded. I have sent the coordinates. Please notify them that the Bat-family needs to gather."

Batman's tone was quite serious, and Schiller also frowned. When all the Batmen in Wayne Manor gathered in the Batcave, they saw a photo on the screen, which was the bombed Capitol building.

"My God!" Nightwing exclaimed, saying: "Is this another terrorist attack? What happened to that universe?"

"Look there, in the background of the photo!" Red Robin suddenly screamed.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed. In the sky behind the bombed Capitol building, Superman, fell.

Wonder Woman, who was with the War God Batman, took a few steps back and said: "This is impossible, Superman..."

"Call Batwoman." Flash Batman said immediately: "Let her bring Clark back, right now!"

Nightwing turned to look at the Robins and said: "I think we have big trouble, go prepare the equipment immediately."

Red Hood turned to look at this pile of strange Batmen and said: "I think this is probably the most peculiar Bat-family sortie."

"Don't worry." Schiller said: "Sometimes, peculiar is not trouble, but power. Prepare to set off."
