Chapter 221 The Clown
Richard taunted Batman, then patted his butt and left. Batman, who stayed behind, took a long time to recover.

After Bruce Wayne got up, he immediately went back to continue studying the new armor. After Richard showed his new abilities, he had to think of countermeasures.

As a paranoid and suspicious person, Batman is suspicious of everyone, including Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, etc. He is a natural persecution maniac.

Bruce now thinks Richard is very scary, and all the Penguin, Riddler, and gangsters have to stand aside. No one can restrain such a powerful person. What if he does bad things recklessly?
Now that such a powerful being has suddenly appeared in Gotham City, he can't even sleep at night. So he has to do everything he can to defeat Richard. Only when he has the power to defeat Richard can he sleep peacefully.
Given Batman's paranoia, if he traveled to the Warhammer world, he would have to pull the Emperor off the golden toilet and sit on it himself. The Emperor would have to thank him.

The current Batman looks about 30 years old, and Richard doesn't know much about the plot of this world. There is no way, because DC's movies are not good and have not formed a coherent universe.

Comics often overturn settings or create a parallel universe.

In Richard's opinion, the city of Gotham is beyond salvation, especially your Wayne Group, which has become a terminal producer in Gotham. All industries that make money and those that don't allow money belong to the Wayne Group.

Even gangs have to rely on the Wayne Group if they want to make money.

Even if Batman works himself to death, he can't solve Gotham's crime problem. Besides, if Batman solves Gotham's crime problem, then comic book writers will have nothing to write about.

To be honest, Richard has been in Gotham for three days, but he feels that the security in Gotham is better than in New York.

He looked through some crime rates published by the Gotham City Police Department. In the past three years, the number of homicide deaths in Gotham City was about 2019, while the New York Police Department reported more than homicides a year (the data is the crime records reported by the New York Police Department in ).
By this calculation, Gotham's public security is obviously better than New York's.

It’s no wonder that the residents of Gotham City are reluctant to leave. It turns out that things outside are even more chaotic.

This is indeed very American.

Richard spent money to buy a computer and began to learn about the information of this world. At the same time, he looked for news about other superheroes and prepared to get to know the superheroes in this world.

Soon, Richard found news about Superman on the Internet. In addition to Superman, he also found Wonder Woman. He didn't see the Flash, perhaps because the news was not very popular. After all, Superman and Wonder Woman were not hidden at all.

Every time these two people went to rescue someone, they didn't disguise themselves at all. They just changed their clothes and went straight there. After saving someone, they could go back to work.

By the way, Superman’s nemesis is Kryptonite. Richard remembered that there were a lot of this thing in the town where Superman lived, and Kryptonite seemed to have some magical powers that could make people rejuvenate and have powerful strength.

Anyway, I have nothing to do now. I am waiting for the infinite gems to charge, so I can find something to do. Oh, and there is also Paradise Island. It is said that there are thousands of Amazons with fair skin, beautiful faces and long legs on Paradise Island. They are all strong and sturdy, and their figures are far better than supermodels. I must go and see them.

Paradise Island, go and see if it lives up to its name.

Richard could swear that he definitely didn't go there for the sake of the women's beauty, he went there to learn martial arts from them. At the same time, he gave them sperm and fluid, bah, to impart experience, so that when the Steppenwolf came in the future, they wouldn't be helpless and be beaten to death by the Steppenwolf.

The weather in Gotham City is often gloomy, which Richard doesn't like. After reading a lot of newspapers and watching TV to search for information about Superman and Wonder Woman, Richard began to search for information about Gotham City.

Gotham City's economy is not good, and the unemployment rate is very high. Richard even found some rumors about several major mafia families in Gotham City on some websites.

Richard didn't care about these. No matter how many gangs there were, Batman was there, right? Let him fight crime. On the other hand, Richard found out that a circus with a long history was about to close down, and it seemed that today was the last performance of the circus. After seeing this news, Richard decided to go and see the last performance of the circus.

The circus was in the city of Gotham City, and Richard arrived here quickly. It was deserted outside the theater with few people, and garbage was piled up everywhere on the street, making it look very dilapidated.

There were only a few people willing to come and watch the circus, so Richard bought a ticket and went inside. The equipment here was very old, but the seats were wiped clean and the floor was swept.

There were only a few people sitting in the more than 500 seats, and the clown on the stage was performing with all kinds of ridiculous and exaggerated movements to make the audience laugh.

Even with their superb acting skills and lots of jokes, they still couldn't stop the circus from closing down.

Soon the performance ended, and everyone went on stage to take their bows. As the last performance of the circus, everyone felt silent and depressed. They looked at each other without saying a word, and the once glorious circus ended silently.

Arthur, wearing a clown costume, walked out of the theater in a daze. He didn't understand why he worked so hard but still got nothing in the end.

"Do you want to know the reason?" A voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Who?" Arthur looked around but didn't see anyone.

"I am here."

Arthur turned around suddenly and saw a man standing behind him, the same man who had just appeared in the theater.

"Don't you want to know why you work so hard, but the money you earn is not enough to feed yourself, your mother is sick and your family is broke, and it seems that everything in the world is against you?"

"Who are you?" Arthur looked at him in horror. How did he know everything in my heart?

"You wanted to create joy and win other people's laughter, you wanted the warmth of family and motherly love, but in the end you got none of that."

"Who are you?" Arthur's expression became more and more terrified.

Richard smiled and said, "My name is Richard. You can call me mentor or Richard. I can give you a lamp to illuminate your life and the future of Gotham."

Arthur looked at him in doubt, feeling very hesitant.

"How about this, you probably haven't eaten yet, let's go have a meal first and talk while we eat." Richard said with a smile.

Maybe because he was hungry or for some other reason, Arthur finally followed Richard to a restaurant. The clean floor, elegant environment and well-dressed waiters of the high-end restaurant made him feel a little uneasy.

But he still forced himself to remain calm. Richard laughed in his heart, thinking that the clowns nowadays were really immature.
