American comics: What kind of evil intentions could Batman have?

Chapter 1095 Papetua, The End

Chapter 1095 Papetua, The End

Yes.

Stories always end like this.

It will always be the story of Bruce and Batman.

I am the Bat of Laughter, and I know all of this.

I finally reached the end of the joke, just like a stand-up comedian standing on stage, with everyone waiting for him to tell the joke that would make everyone roar with laughter.

Tell me, what else can I lose? What else can I pursue?

After wasting so much of my life, when I see the truth through the clown virus, knowing that all life is just a repetition, knowing that all suffering will never end, tell me, what else can I do but laugh out loud?

"You're doomed."

I am the Batman Who Laughs, and as I tell Batman Dragon, it's as if I'm telling my past self.

The Batman Who Laughs turned his head and looked at the Batman Dragon that had grown out of his body. He knew that this was because of the Batman Dragon's share in the Quantum Bat.

However, the Quantum Bat had been in the Batman Who Laughs's possession for a long time, so he quickly suppressed Batman Dragon's control over the Quantum Bat.

Papetua was finally in despair. She had been hoping that Batman Dragon could suppress the Batman Who Laughs in control of the Quantum Bat, creating an opportunity for her.

But it all came to nothing.

"No! No!"

She racked her brains, trying desperately to think of another way out. And she did find it: she evaded the monitoring of the Batman Who Laughs' will within the Quantum Bat Force and found the part controlled by Batman's Dragon.

She tried to get closer, thinking that Batman Dragon would intervene and allow her to stand on equal footing with the Batman Who Laughs, but all she sensed was Batman Dragon looking down at her with a hint of disdain.

Idiot, idiot! What good do you think the Bat of Laughter can do after defeating me?

Perpetua couldn't understand what Batman Dragon was thinking, and he no longer had the chance to ponder it. He would be transformed into amber solidified in resin, forever sealed in the past of the trans-timeline, just like Parallax Morhal and many other dangerous characters who had nearly destroyed the DC multiverse and were once trapped in the trans-timeline.

As time goes by, Perpetua will be forgotten like the Emperor and Gauss, with no chance of ever making a comeback.

She calmed down.

"This world will be destroyed. My kin will destroy me along with you erroneous creations."

She declared it to be true, like a noble queen, but no one paid her any attention.

She did everything she could to hinder the Laughing Bat. The Laughing Bat, who hastily swallowed her, would suffer a backlash and indigestion, but in the end, that was all.

This is your end.

Until the very last moment before the Batman Who Laughs completely replaced Perpetua in this body, the Queen who created the multiverse held her head high with pride.

But as she herself feared and as everyone knew:

No one will remember him anymore, the creator god. He should have faded into obscurity after creating the world, not indulged in fantasies of eternally ruling over everything he created.

But whatever she did in the past, it's all over now.

Papetua — The End.

"You see. All this time, I've never actually told you that I've never really liked you."

Chen Tao heard the sound of the laughing bat.

"You can't even call yourself Batman, you're just a fan-made Batman, understand? The only difference between you and those Batman imitators is that they wear hockey masks, while you have some kind of superpower that you gave yourself through time travel."

The Bat Who Laughs said, "You know, the funniest part of a joke is the buildup, the buildup, understand? The buildup makes the joke funny, the story captivating."

He went on and on, saying, "But you didn't lay the groundwork. You didn't have Crime Alley, you didn't learn those skills, you didn't have the League of Shadows. You never questioned yourself. You were just someone who stole the power of the Quantum Bat, then made a wish to your future self and gained superpowers that ordinary Batmen don't have. Then you read a couple of comics and started pretending to be Batman."

His voice lowered.

"But you were never Batman."

The Batman Who Laughs did not receive a reply from Batman Dragon.

He remained silent, a silence that seemed to disdain to answer.

"Oh."

The laughing bat fell silent, his expression returning to calm.

"Void Hand, my dearest ally, please help me hold off Batman Dragon."

He said, "The next one is Dr. Manhattan."

Chen Tao looked at the hand of nothingness blocking his way.

He already knew what the Bat of Laughter was going to do.

He finally sighed, looking at the Void Hand: "Are you sure you want to do this now?"

"Obviously."

"That's what the Bat of Laughter said."

Papetua was making a final struggle inside his body, demonstrating his indigestibility through his actions.

"I am definitely not Batman, Bruce."

Then he laughed wildly as he heard Batman Dragon say something.

This appears to be the first time Batman Dragon has publicly admitted that he is not Batman.

"I just dreamed of being Batman—but wasn't Batman also the dream of 8-year-old Bruce?"

He looked at the laughing bat.

"But as long as he lives, the Laughing Bat—"

He said slowly, "Dreams never end, isn't that right?"

The maniacal laughter went unanswered.

"If you're not going to dream anymore, forcing you with my dreams seems like an option."

He heard Batman Dragon say, "If you're ready to fight me, then you should be prepared for this."

"Yes." He laughed wildly, a smile spreading across his face.

"Alright then, we should all get started, right?"

Chen Tao said.

"right."

"OK."

He laughed wildly and made a gesture to leave, while Chen Tao also turned his gaze to the Void Hand, attracting its attention.

He had no doubt about his judgment. The Void Hand knew nothing about the Batman Who Laughs, or rather, Batman. Batman would never challenge another character to a fight unless he was absolutely certain of victory, and if he did, he would always win.

If the Batman Who Laughs wants to win his duel with Doctor Manhattan, the prerequisite is to swallow and digest Batman Dragon, Void Hand, and Perpetua.

So now, even the Void Hand himself doesn't realize that the situation has changed from an alliance against Batman Dragon to a fight between two tigers, with the one who sits on the sidelines watching the fight being killed first.

This is the kind of witty banter that Batmen exchange with each other—how could he possibly understand it?
