The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman - Chapter 3487 Research on Cats and Dogs (35)

"Here it comes." Bruce said excitedly.

"I repeat, I have no interest in the twisted relationships between these people." Hal threw a potato chip into his mouth and said, "Besides, aliens are about to invade the earth, but we are sitting here watching Batman's excitement. Is this really okay?"

"That's great," Harley said. "To hell with the aliens, Batman's fun is the best."

Although Hal said so, he didn't close his eyes. On the contrary, Oliver was obviously not interested. He drank a cup of hot chocolate and then fell asleep on the sofa.

Lex was distracted. After a few dozen seconds, he came back to his senses and said, "Professor Xavier read Superman's memory. He told me that this is what happened..."

Lex briefly explained the situation of Injustice Superman's universe, and everyone was amazed.

"Do you think we can come to an agreement with Professor Xavier?" Diana said, somewhat worriedly. "Batman is really hard to deal with. And if you ask me... I'm not wise after the event, of course. If I were the Wonder Woman of that universe, I would probably say the same thing."

"What?" Clark turned to look at her and asked.

Just as Clark was about to speak, Diana interrupted him and said, "I mean the aftermath. The Joker is of course the culprit, but Batman's poor aftermath is the main reason why the situation has developed to this point."

"Do you think Batman should have forgiven Superman at that time?" Bruce asked.

"I don't like the word 'tolerance'." Diana shook her head slightly and said, "Batman is just a vigilante. He is not a judge in a court, let alone a jury. He is not qualified to be lenient to anyone."

"He's just Superman's friend, so he should do what a friend should do. For example, take the time to comfort your friend when he loses the most important person in his life."

"Superman lives in human society and enjoys the emotional feedback that human society brings him. It is his duty to follow the rules of human society. So he should abide by the law, there is no doubt about that."

"If Superman is willing to accept the trial of the law and pay the price for his illegal behavior in a human way, then we should treat him the way humans treat criminals. Let him stand in court, be tried, and then go to jail."

"If this is the case, then although we cannot call him morally noble, there is no need for additional moral judgment, because he has already paid the price within the scope of universal values."

"The problem with Batman is that he didn't ask Superman whether he was willing to accept legal judgment, but directly conducted a moral judgment. Because the procedure was wrong, even if the result was right, he was wrong."

"But it seems that Superman doesn't need to obey the law, right?" Hal said, "He is so strong. Would he really be willing to be arrested and thrown into jail?"

"He may not want to, and that's when Batman will take action," Diana said, "but no one can assume he doesn't want to until he makes it clear."

"What if he did something that proved that he had no intention of obeying the law?" Hal said again, "The version we heard was too brief and lacked a lot of details. Maybe Batman was sure that Superman would not be willing to accept legal sanctions through Superman's various actions, so he directly initiated the moral judgment?"

"That makes sense." Bruce said, "I think Superman was already crazy at that time, and he did more irrational things than just killing people, and Batman had to stop him first, which was taken as a accusation by Superman."

"I think it's the former," Clark said. "If a tragedy happens, I can't guarantee that I will be able to control myself. Maybe I will do a lot of irrational things."

"If I try to stop you, will you be angry with me?" Diana asked.

Clark was silent for a long moment before he said, "Rather than stopping me physically, I'm trying to calm me down on an emotional level. I think Batman made the wrong choice."

"But how can I calm you down if I don't physically stop you from doing that?" Harry asked.

"Then it seems like this is a dead end," Diana concluded. "Batman will definitely try to stop Superman's actions, and the sad and angry Superman will feel that he has betrayed him, so he will take more extreme actions to fight against Batman, which will make Batman even more exhausted..."

"They never had time to calm down and talk," Lex said. "There were a few opportunities, but apparently their version of the Justice League is... I don't know what to say."

"It looks like my counterpart has done something stupid," Diana said, having anticipated this.

"So now that they have a chance to talk, do you think they will give in to each other? Or..."

"It's really interesting," Bruce said. "In a relationship between two people, if one person is a cat that looks non-threatening but is very manipulative, then the other person is a dog that is strong but simple-minded. Cats and dogs work very well together."

"But now Batman, the cat, doesn't know that his dog has changed his mind and still wants to control him. Professor Xavier, as an equally smart cat, has to disguise himself as a dog in order to avoid being exposed, using his own understanding of dog thinking to take the initiative as a dog. Who do you think will win?"

"I bet on Professor Xavier," Pamela said. "He can read minds, which is a huge advantage. Besides, Superman can be considered a victim, so he has the moral high ground."

"I think it's Batman." Harley took a sip of soda and said, "It's too difficult to see Batman's true thoughts. I bet the twists and turns in his mental world are more complicated than the structure of the earth's interior. He may have built an entire universe in his mind, but buried the truth inside an asteroid. Professor Xavier can't figure it out so easily."

"But he won't expose it." Diana shook her head and said, "If an unknown creature controls Superman, it is equivalent to kidnapping Superman. Batman will not rashly provoke the kidnapper."

"I'm confused," Barry said. "So no one wants simple, innocent relationships anymore? Does it have to be like this?"

"Of course not." Clark patted his shoulder and said, "As long as we firmly support healthy relationships, no amount of perverts and lunatics can shake us."

"That's you." Barry shrank his neck and said, "If a lunatic like this were to come after me one day, I really don't know if I could outrun him."

"You really gave him a good idea." Pamela said to Harry, "It reminds me of a joke - a man hid in a bear cave to avoid being struck by lightning."

Harley laughed, and Barry scratched his head, seeming to understand what Pamela was saying. Only Clark and Diana looked at each other helplessly.

"If you must be in a sick relationship, I hope you choose your partner carefully," Diana said. "If you are a dog, then go find a cat, but don't be a lion or a tiger."

"otherwise……"

"I'm definitely not saying that you haven't graduated with your Ph.D." Diana quickly raised her hands and said, receiving Bruce's death stare.

"I'm not saying you're overestimating your abilities, you're just a little unlucky." Clark said quickly when Bruce's gaze turned to Clark.

"Yes, you are always unlucky," Diana agreed.

Fortunately, at this time, the Injustice Batman and Injustice Superman on the screen finally ended their long gaze. Injustice Batman said, "We do lack an opportunity to talk, but I don't think it's now. I need to adjust my equipment as soon as possible."

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The saw blade, spinning like a meat grinder, cut the rope cleanly. Injustice Batman looked back at Injustice Superman.

"You shouldn't be the first to create equipment to prevent falling from heights while fighting alongside me. I can catch you."

"That's right." Injustice Batman turned back and looked at him, "It's just a thing of the past. Should I tell you that I always carry this with me every time I fight with you."

Injustice Batman seemed speechless. Injustice Superman took two steps forward and said, "Batman, you know what? You are a very strange person. No one can see through you."

"Everyone has a set of criteria for measuring others. Those who meet the criteria are considered friends, and those who do not are kicked out. It is easy for us to observe what the criteria are for most people, such as like-mindedness or similar interests."

"But you are different. You hide your standards too deeply. No one can say for sure what position he holds in your heart. If he is very sure, it is just an illusion you give him. No one knows how you actually judge others."

"No, Clark," said Injustice Batman, "You know I have a standard. I don't kill people, and I don't expect my friends to kill people either."

"You ask your friends not to kill, but you don't seem to have such a requirement for your enemies. It seems that being your enemy is much better and freer than being your friend. Is this the purpose of your setting this standard?"

"No, of course not," Batman said, "I expect that from my friends, but not from my enemies."

"Is it a good thing to be expected by you?" Injustice Superman tilted his head and looked at him, "If I were still your friend, maybe I would feel honored. You think I can stick to a principle like you, which proves that you recognize my integrity. It is always an honor to be recognized by Batman."

"But now I am your enemy. You cannot expect your enemy to uphold the same principles as you. Otherwise, we would have reconciled long ago."

"You can't pretend those things never happened, Clark, don't be so naive."

"Yes, so even if I bow to you now, we can't go back to the way it was before. Never."

Injustice Batman noticed that Injustice Superman's tone was a little strange, he didn't sound angry at all, but rather unusually calm, which was very wrong.

He turned to look at Injustice Superman, and sure enough, he didn't see any anger or disappointment on his face. When those eyes were completely cold, they looked like a real glacier. What was exposed above the water was always just the tip of the iceberg, and the real soul became a huge monster submerged under the water.
