Chapter 1122 The Bat Who Laughs Appoints Leader of the Justice League, Everyone Applauds

"What?"

Lex Luthor was at a loss for words. Strictly speaking, the reason why superpowered zombies are rampant throughout the multiverse is all because of Luthor's misdeeds.

Although Luthor proclaims himself the savior of humanity and decides to erase the history of these superpowered zombies killing people after the universe reboots, he is not a psychopathic villain like the Joker who kills people and thinks he is "helping them" or "playing with them".

In other words, no matter how bad Luther's actions were, he knew deep down that his own people were worse.

So, after doing so many bad things, is it appropriate for me to run up to the Justice League and act like this?

This is inappropriate. It's like having an affair. If the husband sees it, he'll attack. Uh, what I mean is that Luther is now a red name (indicating a negative reputation), and the Justice League will attack him whenever they see him.

First, break all the bones in his body, then gag him, tie him up in a restraint suit, and throw him into the Star Labs' superpowered criminal prison. Then, Luther will escape using all sorts of methods, such as political pardons, going through round after round, or simply being sentenced to death and having his consciousness transferred to a clone to be reborn. Clearly, this is what Luther will encounter next.

"But all of this is nothing compared to the greatest crisis facing the DC multiverse," said the Batman Who Laughs. "Listen, you're right, I do feel like I'm not the same as before—but the most important thing now is to deal with Batman Dragon. If Batman Dragon completely defeats Doctor Manhattan and takes control of the entire DC multiverse, then he will become an invincible god. At that point, nothing will matter, everything will be over, and nothing will concern us anymore."

Luther could feel the Batman Who Laughs looking at him earnestly through those sharp, dark goggles that resembled a dog collar.

This is fucking bizarre.

He actually thought the Bat of Laughter was sincere?

And the Bat Who Laughs is right.

What is this supposed to be, an attempt at seduction?

Half of Luther's mind was filled with random, nonsensical thoughts, while the other half rationally activated the mind control shield on his body.

Then, as expected, he discovered that the Batman Who Laughs was trying to mind control him.

Very good, very Batman. If a teammate might jeopardize the plan, control the other party to complete the plan first, and then apologize afterwards, right?

The Laughing Bat felt no embarrassment at being discovered, only regret.

Luther couldn't afford to turn against the Batman Who Laugh because of this; they still needed each other. So the Batman Who Laugh was confident that Luther wouldn't turn against them, and thus recklessly attempted to do so—it was truly disgusting.

Luther was utterly disgusted, but in the end he agreed to the Batman Who Laughs's proposal.

“Okay, but we need to discuss what you plan to do after meeting the Justice League,” Luther said. “Our original plan was to enhance you to the point where you could fight Batman Dragon, and then profit from his battle with Doctor Manhattan.”

Luther didn't mention that he would definitely tamper with the Batman Who Laughs' body when he used these crisis and anti-crisis energies to enhance him, and the Batman Who Laughs didn't mention it either. They both understood each other implicitly, and it would just be a contest of who had the more ingenious methods. There was nothing more to say about it.

The winners win big, and the losers lose everything. For the villains, this is actually a more acceptable logic.

No one thought he would lose, even though he was facing Batman—but he was Lex Luthor.

"But would the Justice League really accept an enhanced Batman Who Laughs? Impossible. I guess they'll bring out their own spokesperson, like Diana Prince, an enhanced Wonder Woman, to help them fight the already insane Batman Dragon and save the DC multiverse from its destroyer, Doctor Manhattan, and the terrifying Batman Dragon who wants to rule everything."

Luther gestured slightly: "Both of our groups are building a sufficiently powerful weapon, but with our combined strength, we'll only end up with two relatively weak weapons, which will then be defeated one by one by Batman Dragon. However, if we unite, we can create a third party capable of participating in the battle between Batman Dragon and Doctor Manhattan. And you, as the Batman Who Laughs, composed of X-metal elements, have the potential to become even more powerful than a demigod. But the problem is—"

Lex Luthor spread his hands: "Why should the Justice League believe you?"

"I, a megalomaniac who unleashed superpowered zombies throughout the DC multiverse, attempting to be the sole ruler and erase everyone's history, you, the ever-smiling Batman, will not be so unlucky. The most terrifying nightmare in the multiverse, the Justice League's favorability rating is completely negative."

Luther said, "I haven't even mentioned how you're going to convince them. What makes you think the Justice League will give you a chance to speak?"

What "loser" basically means is, "Dude, what kind of bastards are we? Don't we have any self-awareness?"

"Oh, Luther, Luther, my friend." Then he heard the Batman Who Laughs say, "I am Batman."

""

Luther's eyes showed displeasure and disapproval.

"What I mean is, nobody knows Bruce Wayne better than me. Most of the time, Batman has a terrifying bottom line, but when faced with a real crisis, Batman's limits are much lower than you think. Have you forgotten that before the last retrial, Batman claimed he was going to help Superman dispose of your body?"

Luther's face darkened.

Yes, there was a time when he truly angered Superman, who even showed murderous intent towards him.

Batman stopped Superman, telling him that he could help him kill Luthor without Superman getting his hands dirty. His exact words were, "If you want, I can make this all look like an accident."

"But you still haven't told me how you plan to convince the Justice League of the main universe that we should join forces simply because the multiverse is in trouble?" I think it's more likely that the Justice League, led by Batman, will capture us and use us as tools to save the multiverse; this has happened many times before.

The Batman Who Laughs smiled slightly: "But every Bruce is arrogant, my friend. You still don't understand him—you don't understand me."

He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.

"Tell me, if I were willing to share Doctor Manhattan's power and my mind with the main universe's Batman, given Bruce Wayne's arrogance, would he think he could beat me in a contest of wills?"

He looked at Luther: "And through this—"

"Am I qualified to be the leader of the Justice League?"
