Chapter 2431 The Weird Bat Family (XI)
The Iceberg Restaurant was indeed still open at this time, and even the restaurant's owner, the Penguin, had not yet left work. He was not surprised to see Batman coming. Batman came here several times a month anyway, and basically checked everything except serious issues such as taxes and hygiene.
However, the three people he brought this time were a little strange. One looked like a smaller version of himself, and the other two looked bitter and vengeful, with ferocious expressions as if they were ready to mess things up at any time.
This was finally a chance to work, the Penguin thought, but considering that he didn't attend the welcome ceremony that day, it was understandable that Batman came to cause trouble for him. He decided to ignore them, finally check today's revenue and leave.
Who knew that Batman didn't seem to want to pay attention to the three people he brought with him. The three sat down on the right side of the bar, and Batman walked to the left.
Penguin leaned against the bar and said, "It looks like you want to talk, what's up?"
Batman looked up at him. In fact, he and the Penguin had nothing to talk about. If it were any other criminals, Batman would have made a few sarcastic remarks to them, but the Penguin was an exception. What was the difference between chatting with the Penguin and reading a real estate report?
So Batman remained silent, staring at the clock on the bar, but the pattern on the clock happened to be a cat. After a moment of silence, Batman finally said, "Do you know Catwoman?"
"That thief?" The Penguin said, holding a glass of wine. "She is a girl from downtown. She is quite capable. She specializes in stealing jewelry from rich people, but she never sells it. Sometimes she returns it after playing with it for a few days, and sometimes she keeps it for her own collection."
"Did she ever provoke you?"
The Penguin sneered and said, "I don't collect jewelry. Those things can't be eaten or drunk. If disaster strikes, I can't even exchange them for money. I'd rather get some gold or guns, which are at least hard currency."
Batman thought to himself, See, this is why I don't want to talk to him, this guy's pragmatism is a bit annoying.
The Penguin rolled his eyes and immediately realized what Batman was asking, so he leaned forward, put one elbow on the bar, stared into Batman's eyes and said, "Information about picking up girls is not free..."
"You know if I look, I can find it."
"But that's different, man. It's one thing to hear from a restaurant owner about a beautiful woman hanging out at a bar, and another to stalk her and find out where she is every night."
"what do you want?"
The Penguin immediately rubbed his hands and said, "I heard that the land next to the beach was taken over by the Waynes. Of course, I don't have any intentions on that land. I can't afford to eat there, but the hotel in the resort next to it..."
Batman narrowed his eyes.
The Penguin paused for a moment, then said fluently: "I was thinking that Bruce Wayne is your sponsor after all. If you go talk to him, I think we can discuss this matter..."
Batman retracted his gaze, took the paper handed over by the Penguin, wrote a series of numbers on it, handed the paper to the Penguin and said, "I can give you a piece of information. Now there is an old fox eyeing that place. If you want to take over the management rights of the hotel, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
The Penguin wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Batman, "Okay, tell me more."
Penguin glanced at the number on the paper and said nothing. He put it away silently and said, "This girl relies on her skills and courage to hang out in low-end bars. But she probably goes to the Gold Cup Bar every Sunday to have some fun."
"Since you gave me the attached information, I'll give you one too." Penguin tapped the table and said, "Put down all the red wine, ice wine and gin that are on your mind. This kind of girl likes whiskey the most, and it's a very strong kind. I think a glass of water cut would be a good choice. I know you wouldn't be stupid enough to order that kind of sweet wine."
With that, the Penguin walked behind the bar, while Batman sat there thinking.
There is no need for anyone to teach you how to chase girls. He asked the Penguin for a legitimate reason. Just as the Penguin said, Batman couldn't suddenly show up at the bar where Catwoman often appeared and tell her that he had conducted a comprehensive and thorough investigation on her, just like investigating a criminal. If that happened, his only reward that night would be a slap in the face.
It would be reasonable if he heard it by chance when he was investigating the crime clues in the Penguin's restaurant. The important business clue was not just a few words from the Penguin. It was for the purpose of helping Batman to give a confession when Catwoman came to trouble the Penguin and admit that it was indeed he who leaked it.
Originally, after receiving this news, Batman could choose to take the initiative, but in the current situation, there is an insurmountable gap between him and Catwoman, that is, the troubles in Wayne Manor.
It is conceivable that Martha and Thomas will not let him get away with it. Even if he is just wandering around Wayne Manor like a ghost, he must appear where he should be on time, especially at the dining table, otherwise his parents will suddenly appear behind him like they did when he was a child and carry him back.
Batman couldn't get out of Wayne Manor, so it was naturally difficult for him to find Catwoman, but his mind was now full of that graceful figure.
It's not like he had never seen Selina before when he was in Schiller's universe, but that was completely different from the Catwoman in their universe. There was no similarity between them from head to toe, even though they looked almost the same and had similar temperaments. Anyway, Batman just felt that they were different.
Therefore, any known experience is unreliable. This battle must be fully prepared and all-out, but this is obviously impossible with so many monsters and demons interfering around. How can we get rid of them?
Batman pondered this question for a long time, until Charles and Eric parted unhappily, until Green Lantern Batman came up to him and started mumbling, as if trying to convince him.
Until the end, Batman returned to Wayne Manor to rest, and slept until dawn for the first time in his life. Finally, he was awakened by the noisy noise in the manor, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Breakfast time at Wayne Manor was still noisy and cheerful. The Robins jumped up and down, shouted, and quickly shuttled through the living room, kitchen, dining room and garden, looking for everything they could find. They were as chaotic as three vicious dogs that had just returned from hell.
Barbara and Gordon also came. They were obviously also very interested in these Batmen, so they came to visit at this time, but they obviously came a little too early. Red Hood and Red Robin were arguing about who stole whose pajamas.
"Jason, I'll say it again. If you were not blind, you would have seen that you can't wear my pajamas, and I can't wear yours either. You might as well suspect Batman instead of me holding your clothes the wrong way..."
Red Hood leaned against the railing unhappily, staring at Red Robin's back with a death stare. Nightwing originally came out in his pajamas, but when he saw Barbara and Gordon were there, he went back to the bedroom and changed his clothes before coming out.
Thomas and Martha had already changed their clothes. They greeted Gordon and introduced the situation of these Batmen. After Batman changed his clothes and came out, they took him aside to talk to Gordon about the situation in Gotham on the ground.
"Thanks to that huge maze, Gotham's underground has become a hot spot in the news. Many tourists come here to visit. Many experts and archaeological teams are also stationed here. All the hotels are full."
"I think you have also discovered that there is great potential for tourism, especially in recent times. I don't know what happened, but the groundwater pollution has disappeared, the ocean pollution has disappeared, the beaches have become clean again, and the beach areas that no one wanted before are now extremely popular."
Of course not, Batman thought to himself, because everything polluted is flying in the sky.
"I'll go see how Alfred is doing," Batman said.
But he obviously didn't really go to see Alfred, because with the mechanical Batman, Alfred didn't need any help. He came to the garden and found Green Lantern Batman who was strolling around.
Green Lantern Batman learned that there was a protection system throughout Wayne Manor. Even if the lamp stove did not hit his helmet, it would most likely be knocked down by the protection system, so he is now looking for an exit in the garden to escape from the manor.
Of course, the wall being torn down to let the Batmen in would be a good opening, but only if Batman doesn't block it right away.
Green Lantern Batman turned around and saw Batman leaning against the door frame staring at him. He turned his head and cursed inwardly. It was too difficult to get rid of this guy's damn lingering surveillance.
But things soon took a turn for the better. Batman called his adopted son over, and seemed to be saying that he and that weirdo named Charles were going to investigate some radio waves that night, and asked Nightwing to keep an eye on it.
Green Lantern Batman immediately realized that the opportunity had come. In his opinion, the guy wielding two sticks was not as difficult to deal with as Batman. As long as he seized the opportunity, he could easily escape from the manor. As long as he could call for the Green Lantern, Batman would not be his opponent.
The busy day passed quickly, Batman and Robin were all doing their jobs, little Bruce's teacher came over to eat, Red Hood, Red Robin and Nightwing planned to make a new spare tire for the Batmobile, Batman Doom grabbed Clark from the universe of Mechanical Batman, and the two seemed to be discussing what happened to Superman from Batman Doom's universe.
Cyborg Batman has been circling around Alfred, while Flash Batman has been studying the mysterious radio waves with Batman-Rex in the Batcave. Batwoman made the first call and said that she had found a house and moved in.
Batman and Diana are still in love, but this makes Martha and Thomas very happy. This actually makes Batman realize that if he tells Thomas and Martha directly that he wants to date Catwoman, he can leave immediately, but Batman still doesn't do it.
Because of Catwoman, he had an uncertain premonition. Batman had never thought that he would lack confidence in the aspect of gender relations, but he was indeed not sure, not even sure whether the emotion surging in his heart was love or just a momentary passion.
Night soon arrived, and Batman stood at the bedroom window and watched with his own eyes as Nightwing pretended not to notice and let Green Lantern Batman jump out of the gap. He then pretended to suddenly notice him and kept chasing him until Green Lantern Batman appeared on a street in the downtown area.
At this time, the person standing in front of the window that suddenly lit up upstairs had turned into a figure with green hair.
