Name, member check plan.
I am Batman. To prevent any of our members from turning against us, we need plans and weapons to restrain each of us; we cannot become a threat.
The league members are my teammates. But the more this is the case, the more we need to prepare for the worst-case scenario, at any time.
Member restraint plan, file code:
Kindergarten nanny.
Batman is a powerful warrior and a master strategist, although this strategic ability stems from his acquired knowledge and unspeakable intelligence network.
He is the core and soul of the Justice League; however, if he betrays us, his strength, speed, and intelligence will make him a formidable adversary.
He knows almost everyone in the world, which to some extent compensates for his intellectual deficiencies, making him almost infallible. At the same time, he has almost no weaknesses in the conventional sense, especially his parents—a common weakness of other Batmen in the universe, but a joke for our target.
Batman possesses the superpower to summon parallel universe Batmen to possess him, which puts a great strain on his body.
To alleviate this burden, Batman has a device installed on his body that allows him to quickly connect with his prisoners, the gorilla Groud and the turtle man, at any time.
This allowed him to unleash unexpected power without regard for the lives of the two men, a burst of power so powerful that it could threaten even ordinary opponents.
For Batman, his transformations are divided into two types: what we call synchronization and loading.
Synchronization causes Batman to be possessed by his counterparts from other parallel universes, much like logging into someone else's game account. During this time, any damage sustained will only be reflected in the original Batman after desynchronization, and will not remain in the synchronized counterpart. The synchronized counterpart's power will not increase through training or other enhancement methods.
Once activated, the abilities of the Batman from the parallel universe will become an integral part of Batman. Batman can enhance these abilities through experimentation, training, or other means.
His parallel universe Batman transformations encompass most of the powers we know of:
Superman, Green Lantern, Wolf, Speedster, Brainiac...
No one has the opportunity and time to deal with so many different transformations simultaneously in a short period of time.
These transformation abilities complement each other and can be activated simultaneously, making Batman almost a hexagonal warrior, the most perfect killing machine—if he decides to kill, almost no one can stop him.
If Batman becomes a threat to Earth and even the entire universe, we need to establish the following agreements to ensure our survival:
Although Batman seems completely insurmountable, the problem is that Batman is ultimately a human being, and even the Anti-Monitor has weaknesses.
Batman's weakness comes from the spirit of metal.
...The spirit of metal is...
Although the metal spirits were quite weak at this time, and did not even form a spatial world like the Red of All Beings or the Green of All Things, they were similar in nature in terms of power.
This also means that many methods used against the Crimson of All Beings will be equally effective against the Spirit of Metal.
The Island of Decay is a common method used by the Black of Decay to invade the Red of All Beings. This isolated island that emerges on the Red of All Beings allows the Black of Decay to transmit its power and pollute the Red of All Beings.
Correspondingly, the Crimson of All Beings also possesses this ability, but at this time, the Crimson of All Beings is weakened and unable to create its own "Crimson Island of All Beings" from other natural forces.
The creation of the Decaying Island triggers a kind of immune system-like response in the Crimson of All Beings, and the same is true for the Spirit of Metal.
Folder number 52B contains a handbook of irony magic, which records a single ironic spell specifically targeting Batman:
Batman becomes a block of iron (Batman turns into a block of iron)
This is the ironic magic that Batman created himself after synchronizing with the Bat-Sorcerer.
This is a hidden ironic spell; its specific method of activation is different from its surface description, but its effect is the same as a spell.
In addition to his metallic spirit, Batman also serves as a low-level representative of the Red of All Beings, an authority derived from the human-faced bat serum and the loading of the bat dragon.
Through the power of irony, we are able to force the red of life to invade the metal spirit through the Red Authority of All Beings on Batman's body.
This will trigger the Metal Spirit's instinctive counterattack, but it won't be enough to subdue Batman. However, under the effect of the irony magic, the Metal Spirit's counterattack will be amplified.
Just as the immune system causes a fever to kill a virus, but ultimately leads to death from the fever, the Metal Spirit will spontaneously enhance Batman's powers in order to protect the sole representative of the Metal Spirit.
If it were the 31st century, with artificial intelligence and metal robots all over the world, the spirit of metal would have the ability to temporarily transform Batman into a real robot Batman.
But now it's the 21st century, and the richest source of metal on Earth isn't giant industrial robots or artificial intelligence, but iron ore buried deep underground, yet to be fully mined. This spell will turn Batman into a real lump of iron, a polymer of metallic spirits, thus directly stripping him of his mobility, turning him into a lifeless, unconscious, and thoughtless iron ore.
In such a situation, telepathy, the Lamp Beast, the Joker's toxin that could turn Batman into the Batman Who Laughs, or any other foreseeable means of control would all be rendered ineffective, because the object of these methods would be a living being, not a mindless piece of iron ore.
Batman will also lose the ability to actively transform into other parallel universe Batmen, because no matter what kind of transformation it is, whether it is loading or synchronizing, it requires Batman's subjective activation. Apart from some abilities that are already fixed in Batman, most transformation methods will not be automatically triggered when he is harmed.
In such a situation, no matter how dangerous or powerful Batman's transformation is, he will immediately lose the ability to resist.
However, this method is not fatal. Essentially, it triggers an overreaction in the Metal Spirit's instincts through a spell. Since it's a spell specifically created to target Batman, once dispelled, the Metal Spirit returns to normal, allowing Batman to be released quickly.
However, this does not mean that this is not a plan that could kill Batman.
If we were to destroy Batman's body while he was petrified, it would most likely kill him outright. If Batman were reduced to pieces, even if the curse were broken... it wouldn't necessarily save him.
But before you do this, I fucking advise you to think carefully about the consequences. You can treat it as a sharp threat.
Batman, recording complete.
……
……
……
I am Batman.
Uh... I'm Chen Tao.
Okay, that's not important.
But all in all, the feeling of being possessed by the parallax monster... might be a little beyond my imagination.
Chen Tao is now beginning to understand why someone like Hal Jordan, who is almost among the top tier of DC's willpower, can still be controlled by the Parallax monster after being possessed by it.
Previously, when the Ion Shark possessed him, he was still able to act by his own willpower because the Ion Shark did not want to control him, but Parallax is not so lenient at all.
Chen Tao also tried to wrest control of his body from Parallax, but to no avail. Indeed, he was not Sinestro; even when he transformed into Batisto, he could only barely regain a small portion of control under Parallax's control, unable to alter the movement of his entire body.
Even Sinestro is not the same Sinestro who enslaved Parallax using his knowledge of the Yellow Lantern in comic book history. In that parallel universe, he was already possessed by Batman during the "War of Sinestro's Legion" era, and he never had the experience of Sinestro in the later "Wrath of the First Lantern" era.
"Hahahaha!"
Chen Tao's mouth stretched from ear to ear. He had finished transforming into a dinosaur, and his face had now completely turned into an obsidian form like Darkseid.
However, at the same time, three pink dots appeared on his head, proving that Flaniak's telepathic abilities were manifesting in him.
With his hysterical laughter, his eyes shot out curved rays of the Omega effect, striking Bane, who was not far away, again and again.
Without the protection of the ion shark, Bane would have been obliterated by the Omega effect long ago. Even so, he still dared not let his physical body directly confront the Omega effect. Instead, he continuously used ion power to create a sufficiently thick and powerful protective shield to explode together with the rays of the Omega effect, perishing together with the Omega effect.
That is, the power of the Ion Shark is almost inexhaustible, which is why it can be wasted so recklessly.
"Have a drink! Hello!"
As Batman, now under the control of Parallax, let out a scream, blood gushed from Bane's mouth and nose.
The cry was filled with a Brainiac-like psychic shockwave, which, given Parallax's almost limitless energy supply, became a deadly weapon.
Not far away, Atositas's head, which was unfortunately caught in the blast, exploded like a brilliant firework.
If it weren't for the Red Lantern Ring granting him the characteristic of being almost impossible to kill, Atositas would have been killed on the spot.
Even more unfortunate are the yellow and green lights that are affected below.
They don't have the special ability of the Red Light Ring to be difficult to kill as long as they're wearing the ring. For most creatures, the head is the most important organ, and no matter how good the Red Light Ring's medical effects are, it can't repair a creature that has lost its head.
"Damn it..."
Hal Jordan, hiding beside Bane, watched his colleagues below, tragically killed in the blast, his eyes reddening: "What's going on with Batman right now?"
In a fit of extreme rage, Hal fired a green energy laser at Batman, who was being controlled by Parallax, and then perished along with an Omega ray. However, the next ray nearly pulverized him, and he was saved by Bane's Ion Shark Tail.
"Can't you see for yourself?"
Bain, panting, fired another beam, which collided with the opponent's attack. He grumbled irritably, "Can you shut me up? I need to concentrate on him!"
Before Bane could finish speaking, he was nearly slashed open in the chest by Batman at close range.
Batman was enveloped in dark red Speed Force, his eyes emitting Omega Effect rays as he ran faster than the rays themselves. Bane, the Ion Man, erected a protective shield, and Batman relentlessly struck him at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye. Each powerful attack caused Bane to bleed like a fountain.
"Damn it, where are the Guardians of the Universe?" Hal cursed. "Are those stupid little blue men cowering in the back again, sending their Genie gang out to their deaths with us?"
After repeated attacks proved ineffective, the Inspector Batman, whose high-speed attacks had become a blurry mess, finally stopped attacking.
He stood outside the green light barrier, staring intently at the two people inside. Just as Hal caught his breath and was about to say something, he saw the ravager's spikes begin to grow from Batman's body, whose eyes were glowing red.
"Damn it," Hal said, "What do we do, Bane?"
Hal has never liked Bane, and he and Bane didn't have much of a relationship before. Although Bane has a government pardon, Hal has never liked Batman's use of criminals.
But he's not in the mood to think about that now.
boom!!!!!
With a deafening roar, Bane's body exploded like a firework, spraying a large amount of blood, before being quickly repaired by the ionic power of the Ion Shark.
"Is this Parallax? Where is Sinestro? I need to talk to him; only he can help Batman break free from Parallax's control—"
"The Guardians of the Universe are long dead, and so is Sinestro, whom you're so obsessed with." Bane wiped the blood from his face and said irritably, "Can't you shut up if you don't know what's going on? I always feel like answering your nonsense. If it were me now, back when I was a villain, I would have ripped your head off long ago. Damn it, I never imagined I'd be fighting Batman, the villain, as a superhero. Green Lantern, you'd better get out of the way, I…"
He withstood another attack from Batman, then raised an eyebrow.
Hal actually shut up and didn't say another word.
"Bane." But then he heard Hal's voice: "Batman seems to have sent me something called the Batman Secret Files."
