"He's already incapacitated, you don't need to kill him at all..."
But Catwoman didn't wait for him to finish speaking and fired directly. The bullet struck Batman's suit, sparking several lines of fire, but it didn't even leave a scratch.
Catwoman emptied her bullets in a fit of rage, then threw the pistol away.
"You can't protect him forever, Bruce, and I have something else to tell you: from now on, the Joker Gang has nothing to do with you anymore!"
With that, Catwoman turned and left.
Owlman's low laughter echoed from behind: "You should know, Bruce, once the Court of Owls is gone, the Joker Gang will be the biggest destabilizing factor in this city. You should understand that."
Batman slightly tilted his head and glanced at Owlman: "I know."
With that, he punched Owlman in the face, instantly knocking him unconscious.
Just then, his suit's communicator rang; it was a call from Dane.
"I guess you're done now."
"Actually, not yet."
"This isn't your Gotham, Bruce, you must understand that. You can't even manage your own city; do you really think you can manage this city's affairs too?"
As Dane said this, Red Hood jumped down from the rooftop, carrying a paralyzed Dick.
Batman looked at Dick, who was also unconscious, but said: "Regarding this, I have a good idea..."
Of the Crime Syndicate's leaders, only Martian Manhunter and Ultraman remained.
Ocean Master was automatically ignored by Dane for being too Suck.
These major figures still had a considerable number of henchmen and superpowered subordinates.
Superwoman had informed Dane that Owlman created three clones called The Shazams, but he didn't reveal them during the battle in Gotham.
Something abnormal must be evil, and Dane took note of this.
A few days later, through the mediation of Vixen and Waller, Dane met with Rose Wilson.
"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Rose."
In their World, Dane had never met Deathstroke's daughter, so this was his first time meeting her.
Dane glanced at Amanda Waller, surprised that in this World, Waller was also working for the government. Was she tied to this country?
"How should I address you?" Rose politely shook hands with him, then sat down in front of Dane.
This was the location chosen by Rose Wilson and her side, and Dane knew that many plainclothes bodyguards were hidden nearby, and many snipers were lurking in high-rise buildings, setting up sniper positions.
It seemed they didn't fully trust Dane and the others.
"Miss Rose can call me Shazam."
Rose nodded: "Then, Mr. Shazam, please forgive my directness, but I'd like to ask if Green Lantern of Coast City, Flash of Central City, and the You-Know-Who of Gotham are all your people?"
There was no harm in admitting this. The Crime Syndicate's leaders were almost all captured, so there was no need to hide anymore.
So Dane nodded in confirmation: "Yes, they are all our people."
Rose was excited: "Then..."
Dane raised a hand, signaling her to calm down.
"Please, Miss Rose, listen to my statement first."
Rose calmed down slightly, trying to compose herself. She still didn't know the other party's purpose and absolutely couldn't lose her composure.
Then Dane began: "First, I want to tell you that we are not natives of this World. We come from another parallel Universe similar to yours, another Earth."
Dane's opening sentence immediately stunned Rose and Waller.
He continued: "In our World, an extraordinary criminal appeared. He called himself Outsider, and his true identity was Alfred, Little Thomas Wayne's, or Owlman's, butler and assistant..."
Rose instantly stood up, her chair falling backward.
Her movement made the surrounding hidden bodyguards and snipers tense up.
Fortunately, Amanda Waller reacted in time, immediately whispering into her earpiece: "All units, hold your positions, everything is safe!"
Vixen saw her small gesture and couldn't help but scoff. She and Kida Miyo had already discovered those people. If Dane hadn't said not to mind, she would have truly wanted to turn around and leave then.
Rose was a little embarrassed; she realized she had been overly emotional.
Dane lightly tapped his finger, and the chair behind Rose flew back, placing itself behind her.
Rose was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Thank you."
