For Batman's sake, and due to the pressure from Jameson, the New York Police Department immediately released another announcement, stating that they had captured the mastermind behind the Wayne Enterprises explosion.
In addition, Jonah Jameson instructed Wayne Enterprises' legal department to issue a lawyer's letter, severely warning the most vocal people online.
Public opinion on the internet gradually began to shift.
The undercurrents of this event didn't interest the netizens; they were more concerned about the battle between Cyborg and a certain criminal that had been revealed on major online forums and news websites. The incident had occurred on the streets of Manhattan, New York, just moments ago.
The incident happened during rush hour, and there were quite a few onlookers.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes had witnessed Cyborg mercilessly beating the criminal on the ground. Finally, to prevent the criminal from escaping, he even severed the criminal's limbs.
At the same time, during the battle, the criminal displayed abilities beyond human limits, and his body seemed capable of emitting intense heat, like lava. The surrounding temperature was enough to distort the air and melt everything.
Someone recorded this scene and uploaded it online.
The footage showed Killian breaking through the bricks, melting them, and then charging forward to fight Cyborg.
On one hand, people once again witnessed Cyborg's power.
On the other hand, people became extremely interested in the mastermind behind the Wayne Enterprises explosion.
The all-knowing netizens even used the faces in the video to find out the person's true identity.
The owner of Advanced Technology.
Aldrich Killian.
While Advanced Technology wasn't considered well-known in the public eye, it was still a considerable company.
What was especially worth mentioning was their research direction.
Regeneration!
Biotechnology!
People conjured up a good show in their minds, as if understanding why Killian sent people to blow up Wayne Enterprises.
At the same time, people also began to take Wayne Enterprises seriously.
They didn't overlook the fact that although the announcement came from the New York Police Department, the person who actually solved the problem was Cyborg from the Justice League.
Who is Cyborg?
Batman's acknowledged underling.
The second in command of the Justice League.
This shows that Wayne Enterprises is really closely connected to Batman!
Maybe the Regeneration technology is actually advanced technology that Batman provided to Wayne Enterprises.
The netizens didn't know that they had accidentally guessed the truth.
However, the next day, a revelation from the Daily Bugle added fuel to the fire.
The Daily Bugle stated that Killian himself was a bad guy from the underworld. This guy had huge ambitions, and he kept a lot of wanted criminals under him. He even brainwashed those retired disabled veterans and used them for his own purposes, causing great harm to society.
After getting accurate information from the Daily Bugle, the netizens' investigation speed was no slower than that of the New York Police Department.
They quickly dug up the related hidden content of Advanced Technology.
Including Maya Hansen.
And these guys, closely related to Advanced Technology and Killian, were all rounded up by the police at the first opportunity.
However, during this process, the police were attacked by the test subjects within Advanced Technology who had been injected with the Extremis Virus.
The Task Force finally came into play.
The four little turtles were incredibly excited and contributed greatly, helping the police clear obstacles, severing the limbs of these guys, and arresting them one by one.
As for those who desperately resisted, they all died by self-explosion due to the side effects of the Extremis Virus.
The next day, at the end of the workday.
The New York Police Department welcomed a guest they couldn't exactly say they were happy to see.
"Chief Stacy, we meet again!"
Coulson smiled slightly.
George stared at the man with the receding hairline in front of him, feeling a bad premonition.
Sure enough.
"Please hand over Killian and his accomplice, Maya Hansen, to us," Coulson said. "S.H.I.E.L.D. has more experience dealing with these kinds of extraordinary events than the New York Police Department."
"I haven't received any orders yet!" George said expressionlessly. Creak—
Suddenly, the police officer under George burst into the office.
"Chief, a call from the mayor!"
George's face darkened.
He could completely disregard the mayor when he got serious, even though the latter had more power.
But it was conceivable that the person at the top of this phone call wasn't the mayor.
The mayor was just a messenger.
"I hope S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have to clean up the mess from the police department next time."
George didn't bother to answer the phone and looked coldly at Coulson: "If S.H.I.E.L.D. could appear before the Justice League solves the crisis, I would be very grateful."
"I hope so too."
Coulson was helpless.
A little over ten days had passed.
Things gradually calmed down.
The constant stream of new stories buried the incident.
With Jameson taking care of things, Wayne Enterprises quickly re-established itself at a new location. Under Jameson's preparations, they reopened online reservations.
Orders exploded instantly.
After Killian from Advanced Technology stirred up trouble, everyone understood that Regeneration technology wasn't as unreliable as some people thought.
On the contrary, Regeneration technology must be quite reliable, or Killian wouldn't have felt threatened enough to destroy Wayne Enterprises with an explosion.
This outcome even surprised Jameson.
Wayne Enterprises was developing rapidly. At DC Company, where Anton was located, the newly released film, The Dark Knight, was also widely acclaimed. In just half a month, it had surpassed $800 million in global box office revenue. If things continued this way, the film was estimated to gross $1.3 billion by the time it left theaters.
Adding in merchandise sales and the growth of DC Company's related comics, animations, and other content driven by the film, the company had reaped huge rewards.
Through the system panel, Anton had a very direct assessment.
On average, the success of The Dark Knight had increased the fan value of DC Company's currently announced superheroes by nearly one-fifth of their original numbers.
What surprised him even more was that Superman's fan value had exceeded 35 million.
"What movie should I make next?"
Anton stroked his chin, beginning to brainstorm his next project.
He opened the system panel and looked at the remaining superheroes he hadn't yet exchanged.
Superman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Constantine, Shazam, Atom, and so on!
Relatively speaking, Superman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Atom are more conventional superheroes.
The remaining Constantine and Shazam belong to the magic side heroes.
As things stand, the magic side heroes are all "useless," so Anton immediately ruled them out.
The remaining, relatively cheap Atom conflicted with Cyborg's conditions and could also be excluded.
Superman is too expensive!
It can't be done in a short time, so it's excluded again.
So, looking at it again, the only remaining options are Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman, the four choices available.
Aquaman is worth 50 million Fan Value.
Flash is worth 50 million fan points.
Green Lantern is worth 40 million fan points.
Wonder Woman is worth 30 million fan points.
Anton pondered for a moment, realizing he seemed to have no choice.
"Damn, am I supposed to film Wonder Woman next?"
