Chapter 898 Turn of Fortune (1/2)
The Batbike drove all the way to the building's entrance, and then stopped with the sound of screeching brakes. Batman sat on the motorcycle and looked at them and said, ”What about the Joker?”
Bruce and a couple of his buddies reflexively responded and pointed at the back where they lived. Batman nodded and started the motorcycle. Just as he was about to pass Bruce's path, he stopped and stared at him. Bruce looked directly into his eyes and was dazzled. It is Batman, it is Batman! Batman is right in front of me!
After staring at each other for a moment, Batman turned off the bike and asked, ”What's your name?”
Before Bruce could speak, Mini Donkey shouted again. ”His name is Bruce. He's Batman, too. He's the Batman of Salem Harbor.”
Upon hearing this, Batman nodded and reached out his hand. ”Hello, my Batman.”
”What?” Bruce asked in surprise, looking at the hand stretched out in front of him.
Batman said, ”You are the heir of Batman, and I see in your eyes the justice, the toughness, and the wisdom that you possess to be Batman.”
Bruce was stunned. He took Batman's hand and murmured, ”Ah, I heard you correctly. Do you think I could be Batman? Oh God!”
The two shook hands, and Batman said, ”The Joker is doing evil. I have to deal with him. I will make sure he pays when I catch him.”
”You certainly will,” Bruce finally responded with tears in his eyes.
Batman said, ”But the joker is not a simple guy. He's not going to be caught with his pants down.”
Batman took off his cape and his Batman armor, and put it all together on the motorcycle before finally taking off his mask to reveal a handsome face. It was Christian Bale, the new Batman, the superstar of the DC comics universe!
He handed Bruce the keys to the motorcycle and said, ”Hey, Batman, this is the last time I'm going to be Batman, so the world of justice will depend on you.”
Bruce looked at the key in his hand and cried, ”What does that mean? Mr. Wayne, what does that mean? I don't understand, I don't know what's going on here.”
Christian Bale smiled. ”It means you've got the Batman legacy, and from now on, you will be the real Batman. The Batbike and Batsuit belong to you now.”
Rex Latin said, ”Cool, it's the new Batman! Bruce, congratulations!”
The teenager, looking at the scene blankly and excitedly, repeatedly asked, ”Am I inheriting this? It's not a dream, it must not be a dream, right?”
He turned to Mini Donkey and said, ”Mini Donkey, come and punch me so I know I'm awake.”
