The next day.
The Daily Bugle's news report went viral online, and the newspaper was once again in high demand among New Yorkers.
ALIEN INVASION!
These large words occupied an entire page.
The background image was the spaceship that had been hovering in the sky during yesterday's battle.
Or, to be precise, an alien spaceship.
Everyone was stunned by the Daily Bugle's news report!
Whether it was the citizens of New York, or the entire United States, or even the whole world, everyone turned their attention to New York because of this news report.
As everyone knew, Batman had a close relationship with the Daily Bugle.
With Batman's backing, the Daily Bugle's daily operations have, for a long time, been under a lot of scrutiny.
In short, the Daily Bugle wouldn't shoot itself in the foot.
This means that the news of an alien invasion, this shocking outcome, was definitely something the Daily Bugle confirmed after investigation, and only revealed the truth after receiving firsthand information from Batman.
Regardless, the news about the aliens, with the Daily Bugle's release, instantly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Not only was it known nationwide, it even shocked the world.
Washington D.C.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
The Director's office.
Back in Washington, Nick Fury looked at the news report from the Daily Bugle and realized he had underestimated Anton and Batman.
"They've got a lot of nerve!"
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought that this might not be a bad thing.
Since Aliens were targeting Earth one after another, it was hard to guarantee that similar situations wouldn't arise in the future.
He thought much like Anton.
It was better to let people know beforehand and accept the truth.
This way, they'd avoid bigger disturbances later on, and prevent people from blaming the authorities for concealing information.
Moreover, with the backdrop of the alien invasion and the support of the World Security Council, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions appeared more justified.
Hoover Dam.
Similarly, Secretary of Defense John Keller also received news from the outside world.
The Daily Bugle had exposed the alien invasion. The government could have issued a statement to refute the Daily Bugle's news.
However, since the situation was already set, going with the flow was actually a good choice.
In Keller's opinion, the aliens had completely set their sights on Earth, leaving no room for negotiation.
Faced with the aliens' covetous gaze, humanity could only fight back.
John Keller looked thoughtfully at the robot in front of him.
Besides the explanation from Nick Fury, a secret government unit called "Sector 7" had also contacted him immediately after the alien attack in New York.
They judged that the spacecraft that appeared in New York was likely a companion of the robot in front of him.
The basis for this judgment was that not long ago, the space agency had lost the Beagle 2 Mars lander.
On the surface, it was a mission failure, but in reality, it wasn't.
The Beagle 2 lander sent back a 13-second video, and it discovered… living aliens.
Mars wasn't just rocks!
And through detailed comparison, the living alien was almost identical in appearance to the robot in front of Keller.
Secondly, the alien invasion that occurred in New York yesterday, the enemies on the spaceship! That humanoid mech that fought Cyborg!
There are similarities between the two.
Currently, Sector 7 is working hard to track down information about the aliens.
Through communication with Sector 7, John Keller's current mission is to hold his position and see if he can find some clues about the mysterious aliens hidden on Earth from this robot-like, non-biological alien.
Daily Bugle.
Anton heard Eddie's report and knew that the news reports released today had caused a huge sensation.
The outside world.
Some people were terrified.
But others, those obsessed with the universe, were extremely excited about the appearance of Aliens.
Of course, this wasn't Anton's focus.
Besides announcing the truth about the alien invasion, the Daily Bugle also uploaded a rather long video to its website.
In the video, Green Arrow led the Justice League to the TCRI experimental building, and Spider-Man, Daredevil, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, several major heroes, wiped out the Foot Clan.
Among them, the influence of S.H.I.E.L.D. was basically erased by Eddie.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was, after all, a mysterious organization.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. was exposed to the public's view after Captain America: The Winter Soldier, this was before that time period. S.H.I.E.L.D. was still that special agent department, almost unknown to the public.
Eddie still needed to give S.H.I.E.L.D. some face.
It's worth mentioning that after S.H.I.E.L.D. was removed, the Justice League naturally became the strongest superhero group in the eyes of the public.
Green Arrow's fan base skyrocketed.
Spider-Man, Daredevil, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' fame also spread throughout New York.
Even citizens from other places felt favorably towards these names.
The only regret probably belonged to Eddie.
In the video, Venom only showed his face at the end, seemingly not playing much of a role, and rarely attracting people's attention.
If the superhero rankings were to be redone, Venom would probably be at the bottom again.
However, Eddie had achieved great success in his career, which could be considered a consolation.
Knock, knock, knock!
The office door opened.
Betty walked in.
She nodded at Anton, "Jim's here. He has something to discuss with you."
"Jim?"
Anton was taken aback. "He's downstairs?"
"Yes."
Betty nodded. "It seems he's here about the Superman movie."
"The Superman movie..."
Anton's eyes lit up, and he perked up instantly.
A Superman movie!
There was no better news!
Soon.
Anton went downstairs and arrived at DC Comics.
He met Jim.
"Anton, long time no see."
Jim warmly embraced Anton: "I saw the news today. It's truly incredible. The cause of yesterday's incident was actually an alien invasion! The Daily Bugle is a truly impressive newspaper. No one dares to question your source of information."
"Of course."
Anton nodded, then asked eagerly, "You're here for the Superman movie?"
"That's right."
Jim nodded. "Production on the Superman movie has been in its final stages for months. We've just been polishing the details, and we're basically done now. The reason I'm here in such a rush is because of the news report the Daily Bugle published today."
"Oh?"
Anton was surprised. "About the alien invasion?"
"Yes, Anton, Superman is a superhero from outer space!"
Jim was beaming, a little excited. "Isn't that the perfect fit for the current trend?"
"You're right!"
Hearing Jim's words, Anton suddenly understood and immediately grasped the former's idea.
The truth about the alien invasion would spark public discussion about aliens.
This would greatly increase people's interest in aliens, which perfectly aligned with Superman's setting.
Related to aliens! This was obviously a huge advantage for the release of the Superman movie.
The reason Jim came here was also to discuss the release of the Superman movie with him.
"I plan to release Man of Steel ahead of schedule!"
Jim laughed, "Riding this wave, as long as the promotion is done properly, the Superman movie will definitely be a hit!"
