Chapter 3458
A novel picture of a Justice League meeting slowly unfolded in front of the Injustice Batman.
First, the host of the meeting is Oliver Queen. He is responsible for controlling the direction of the entire meeting, raising questions in the general direction, such as "who is responsible for what," "where exactly to engage in battle," "aftermath handling matters," etc.
And, the meeting assistant is Clark. He is responsible for raising questions based on possible situations, such as: "how to determine the landing orientation after the spaceship enters the atmosphere," "how to evacuate the people at the landing site at the fastest speed," "how to quickly set up traps," "in what order do superheroes enter the field," etc.
Then, the second assistant is Arthur, who is responsible for asking some questions about details, such as "how to divert traffic at that time," "how to arrange vehicles," "where local police and firefighters are on standby," etc.
Finally, those responsible for answering these questions and considering the possibility of landing are Lex and Hal. Lex proposes using the Luthor Group's satellites to lock the spaceship's position, setting up explosive traps at the landing site to destroy the spaceship's landing gear to prevent secondary take-off, sending text messages to the public in advance to arrange evacuation points, and once a disaster occurs, directly evacuating personnel, etc.
Also, Diana is responsible for the meeting minutes, raising questions in aspects closer to humanistic care, such as "how to write text messages to minimize public panic," "whether to use exercises as a cover to completely cover up the fundamental purpose of this operation," etc.
Considering that generally speaking, all the above work is done by Batman alone, it is even more novel.
It's not that Green Arrow can't host the meeting, but Metropolis is not his home field, and he is not a superhero who can engage in cosmic warfare, and has no connection with Krypton. It really doesn't make sense for him to host this meeting.
It's not that Clark's super brain can't be used to raise questions, but he usually thinks that raising questions is meaningless, because all problems have a unified solution, which is "Batman."
How to determine the landing position of the spaceship? Batman will have a way.
How to quickly evacuate the people at the landing site? Batman will have a way.
How to set up suitable traps at the landing site? Batman will have a way.
In what way do superheroes enter the field to deal with the enemy? Batman will have a way.
Batman always has a way.
Also Aquaman, although Arthur's personality is not lacking in delicate and emotional aspects, overall he is still a rough person, and he usually doesn't consider too much when doing things, let alone consider the arrangement of civilian police in an alien invasion war.
He also doesn't have any experience in this area. He dares to arrange, but others don't dare to execute.
Finally, there are Lex and Hal. Batman is not surprised at all that Lex can come up with a solution. Lex Luthor has always been known as the smartest person on Earth, even a little smarter than Batman.
The Injustice Batman had long discovered that Lex Luthor of this universe had strong control over Metropolis, and combined with his alliance with the KGB, it was not surprising that he could come up with various solutions to the problem.
The question is why Hal also stood on the side of solving and executing. Although Green Lantern energy is quite convenient, in the Injustice Batman's impression, Green Lantern is not a person who is very good at thinking about solutions; he is better at executing.
If you have to say he has any thinking process, it's probably: think, can't think of it, and then shout "Batman!"
Then the question comes, what about Batman of this universe?
The Injustice Batman couldn't help but look at the figure across the table. From the beginning of the meeting to now, he hasn't woken up.
After more than three hours, the meeting finally ended. The sky was bright, and Metropolis entered the morning rush hour. Bruce, who had slept for half the night according to his biological clock, finally woke up.
"You finally woke up," Diana said.
Diana is right, the Injustice Batman thought. If you don't wake up, Zod will have gone home.
Bruce stretched, let out a long breath, put his arms on the table and said: "Have you finished discussing? Let me see."
Diana handed over the meeting minutes. Bruce scanned it, thought for a while and said: "Too few people. I think we should call more people over."
"I think so too," Diana waved to Hal, Arthur, and Lex who were leaving the office to eat breakfast, stood up herself, packed her things and said, "There aren't many people in Metropolis. If we want to call people, we have to call from Cat Getan. We are all waiting for you to wake up to contact them."
"Alright, leave it to me," Bruce said, "I'll ask in the group who is free. Pamela should be able to come, she doesn't have to work recently."
Diana also stood up and left to eat breakfast at the cafeteria downstairs. Oliver, Clark, and Bruce didn't go. Oliver was looking at the Metropolis map, Clark was writing the evacuation text message content, and Bruce was chatting in the group.
"Clark," Oliver called, "Let's go to the office over there, you tell me the history of Krypton."
"Okay," Clark nodded, carried his computer and went out with Oliver.
Only Bruce and the Injustice Batman were left in the large office. Bruce chatted attentively. The Injustice Batman glanced at his screen, there wasn't much useful content, it was all emojis.
"Ahem." The Injustice Batman coughed twice, wanting to remind the other party of his existence.
"If your throat is dry, go drink water," Bruce said without raising his head, "Do you expect me to pour it for you?"
The Injustice Batman didn't know how to answer for a while. Just as he was about to say something else, Hal, who went down first, came back with a few breakfasts using Green Lantern energy.
"I asked," Bruce said while standing up to tidy his clothes, "Pamela and Harley can both come, Barry should be able to too. Waylon can come, but it will be late. Constantine and Zatanna are not sure, said they would give me news later."
"Far beyond expectations," Hal smiled and said, "I thought they didn't have any time recently."
"Barry's Speed Force can't carry people, might have to trouble you to go pick them up," Bruce looked at his phone and said, "They can drive themselves, but it's estimated that they have to be divided into several trips."
"I'll go pick them up," Hal said, "I think during the event, a fixed portal should be opened between Cat Getan and Metropolis to facilitate mutual support."
"No problem, where do you plan to open it? Wei En Manor?"
"Isn't your daughter in the manor? Aren't you afraid she'll sneak over?"
"Aisha is very sensible... alright, let's open it in Wei En Tower," Bruce rubbed his eyes and said.
"Are your adopted sons not here?" Hal asked again.
Bruce shook his head and said: "Not here, even if they were, they wouldn't be able to help much. However, Dick's girlfriend has a powerful father, I'll let Dick ask her."
Hal went to prepare the portal, and the others unpacked the breakfast he sent up, preparing to eat. At this time Diana and Arthur also came back.
"Do you want to call some other helpers from other universes?" Bruce suddenly asked.
"Who can you call?" Diana asked, "During the Battleworld mission, the Battleworld portal can't be used. We can't get out, and they can't get in."
"Of course not through Battleworld, we can take a detour," Bruce said, "Other heroes in the same Great World as us can walk through the Dark Kingdom. People from other Great Worlds are more troublesome, but they should be able to come over in another way. I might have to go ask the Professor."
"Did you send him a message? Or did you go directly to the tower?"
"I sent a message, but I estimate he didn't see it so quickly. Or wait until he finishes class and call him again."
"I don't think it's necessary," Arthur said, "No need to call heroes from another Great World, this is a bit too much of a fuss, making it seem like we have some kind of disaster."
"An extra preparation is always good," Diana said, "But it is indeed not necessary for too many people to come, otherwise it will be a hidden danger. It's best to have someone who can make a final decision."
At this time Oliver poked his head at the door and said: "Batman, I think we can talk."
The Injustice Batman actually wanted to stay, because he was very curious about the heroes of another Great World. But when he came up earlier, Oliver said he wanted to talk to him, and he finally went.
The two entered another office, Clark was walking out, nodded to Oliver and went out.
As soon as the two sat down, Oliver showed him a smile and said: "It seems that the situation in your universe is very different from ours."
The Injustice Batman nodded, he had no way to deny this. However, he didn't feel this was his problem, because he had already learned through the Battleworld that most of the Justice Leagues in the universe were more like his universe, and this universe was an exception.
"What do you think is different?" Oliver asked.
"Compared to a superhero organization, you are more like a company," the Injustice Batman said pointedly, "Dividing different ranks and responsibilities, everyone does their own thing."
"Isn't it like that on your side?"
The Injustice Batman shook his head and said: "I am the leader of the Justice League, but maybe only I think so."
"Alright, I'm just a bit curious," Oliver sat up straight and said, "What I want to say is not this, but: you coming here might have a mission, although it may not be mandatory, there should be some rewards after completion."
The Injustice Batman didn't deny it, he nodded.
"Okay, I guess the mission shouldn't be helping aliens invade Earth, it's either helping Metropolis or helping the Justice League."
Batman nodded again, and then shook his head and said: "The Superman of the universe I am in may not be like this."
"I was just about to tell you this," Oliver said, "Lex sent a message telling me that the Superman of your universe is a big trouble. He ruled the world, but he didn't rule well, and you also encountered foreign invasion, so you came here to seek a solution."
Oliver tapped the table surface with his finger and then said: "If you are willing to help us, we can also help you."
"How do you want me to help you?" the Injustice Batman asked, "Dealing with Zod, or protecting the ordinary people of Metropolis?"
"Quite the opposite," Oliver said, "We don't need unstable factors in the plan, you are the one who needs to be eliminated. If possible, we hope you can go to Cat Getan for a period of time and don't come to affect us in executing the plan. It would be even better if you could take your companion away."
The Injustice Batman frowned deeply. He had already discovered that the Justice League of this world didn't need Batman so much, but is this a bit too much not needing Batman?
But he soon discovered that this world didn't need Batman even more than he imagined, because Oliver suddenly lowered his voice sneakily and said:
"Of course, if you can take Bruce back, it will be considered your outstanding contribution to the peace of Metropolis in our universe."
