As soon as the muzzle was raised, Gordon's eyes widened in disbelief; the gun in his hand suddenly twisted strangely with clicking sounds.
In an instant, a perfectly good gun instantly became an unrecognizable piece of junk.
Gordon instinctively let go and dropped the 'gun' in his hand, staring dumbfounded at the young man who had already picked up Miranda.
"You--"
Samuel turned his head and glanced at him; with just one glance, Gordon's eyes rolled back, and he fainted directly onto the ground.
"You, you knew I would fail long ago, didn't you?" Miranda, in Samuel's arms, was bleeding from her body, her face pale, and she looked at him with an unwilling expression.
"I know everything."
While using Qi to stop Miranda's bleeding, Samuel teleported back to the city hall.
As for Batman, who was preparing to sacrifice himself to save Gotham by flying the Bat-fighter?
Heh heh, he won't die that easily!
"Bang!"
Not long after returning to the city hall, a ground-shaking explosion suddenly sounded from a distance.
The Police, the citizens of Gotham, including the criminals who were forced into the containers by Super Catwoman, were all stunned.
It's over, everything is over!
Samuel had Selina shrink these containers, along with the people inside, and then took her, Miranda, and Bane, and directly teleported back to Madripoor in the Marvel Main Universe.
White Queen, Dottie, Matsumoto Maki, Nine-Spider Maiden, they were all there!
Samuel briefly introduced them to each other.
Then he found the Eye of Agamotto collected in the Zombie World and the Time Stone of this timeline, and used time reversal to heal the injuries of Miranda and Bane.
Immediately after, he took Selina and Miranda to the Na Du Tong branch in Manhattan, New York.
Bane was suitable to stay in Madripoor, while Selina and Miranda could play a greater role in the Na Du Tong branch.
First, Miranda, although she is Ra's al Ghul's daughter and has excellent skills and strength, her business and management abilities are equally outstanding.
Without this talent, she would not have been able to work undercover at Wayne Group for so long, gain trust, and become the new President of Wayne Group!
Then there's Selina, although she doesn't have strong management talent, don't forget, she's a jewel thief and has a knack for identifying jewelry or valuable items.
Na Du Tong is a legitimate express delivery company; whether it's pricing valuable items or someone trying to pass off fakes for compensation, they need experienced, sharp-eyed experts.
Selina is perfect!
Samuel settled them down and returned to the World of [Batman: The Dark Knight Rises].
Wayne Manor, Batcave.
As soon as Samuel appeared, he saw Alfred helping Bruce Wayne pack up Batman's gadgets.
Bruce Wayne stopped and looked at Samuel, who was not surprised: "As expected, I couldn't hide it from You."
The Bat-fighter had no autopilot function, and the nuclear weapon exploded at sea; with Gordon as a witness, it wouldn't be long before everyone in Gotham knew that Batman had sacrificed himself to save Gotham!
In the movie, Bruce Wayne did exactly that!
Samuel glanced at the packed gadgets and said with a light laugh: "Aren't you going to leave these things to John Blake?"
Bruce Wayne was stunned: "Did You read my mind?"
"Is such a small matter necessary?"
"Indeed!"
Not long after Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham from Deep Well Prison, he had planned to fake his death, or more accurately, he had chosen a successor.
This successor was John Blake!
John Blake was young and upright, full of a sense of justice, and very smart; not only could he guess that he was Batman, but he also rose up in resistance when the entire city fell, fearlessly trying to rescue Gordon and others.
Although without Bruce Wayne's timely appearance, he might have died, his actions made Bruce Wayne believe that even if he wasn't there, someone would still step up for this city.
If he succeeded in the end, he would fake his death and entrust this city to John Blake to protect; Alfred and the wealth he left behind would help him.
If he failed, then he would definitely be truly dead, and there would be nothing more to say.
Bruce Wayne zipped up the suitcase and said with some emotion: "I only took a part as a souvenir; when he comes here, he will see the gift I left for him."
After a deep look at the Batcave that had accompanied him for many years, Bruce Wayne turned and forcefully hugged Alfred, who had always taken care of him.
The two hugged each other tightly, neither spoke, but their eyes were red!
Alfred was old, and this might be their last meeting.
Silence was more eloquent than words at this moment, and the atmosphere was very touching.
"Cough cough, actually, you don't need to act like you're saying goodbye forever; first of all, I have many good things that can make people live for decades longer, and even if you really die, resurrection is not without hope!"
The touching atmosphere of farewell instantly disappeared without a trace.
Bruce Wayne released Alfred, looking as if he had expected this: "I knew You wouldn't really let me go; I was always among the targets You mentioned before, wasn't I?"
Samuel smiled and said a few names: "You, Selina, Miranda, Bane."
Bruce Wayne was not surprised; in Deep Well Prison, he had plenty of time to think about the purpose of some of Samuel's actions.
For example, Selina, who stole his fingerprints, was Samuel's person; after Selina's original planned transaction failed, why did the fingerprints appear in Bane's hands?
Because Bane was also his target.
The reason he brought himself back to eight years later was because he knew Bane would destroy Gotham; from the way he gathered people from different Universes for the Void Free-for-all Arena, it was clear that Samuel liked to watch people fight.
That's why he gave his fingerprints to Bane, allowing Bane's plan to be implemented, so that he could enjoy the fight!
Bruce Wayne just didn't expect Miranda to also be Samuel's target, but now that he knew Miranda was Ra's al Ghul's daughter and that she was the real mastermind, it was normal and reasonable for her to be targeted by Samuel.
"Not just me, You didn't plan to let the others in the Free-for-all Arena go either, did You? Even if they become champions and return home in the future, You will follow them like You are now, and eventually bring them back!"
Samuel smiled nonchalantly: "Don't think of me as so dark, and don't think of yourselves as too important; if You don't agree, I can find another You."
"You need to know that parallel Worlds are actually almost infinitely many; as far as I know, there are various versions of Batman!"
"By the way, do You know which Batman I'm more impressed with? His name is The Batman Who Laughs, Bruce Wayne from Dark Multiverse-Earth 22, one of the members of the Dark Knights under Barbatos, the ruler of the Dark Multiverse!"
"The members of this Dark Knights, heh heh, are all versions of Batman from the Dark Multiverse!"
