Trish was indeed a suitable candidate, but what happened tonight was a complete coincidence.
The Dark Knight's appearance had long been set in stone.
Now that Batman could no longer suppress the criminals, it was imperative for the second-generation master to make an appearance.
That way, when the Joker made big news, it would only make sense that he would clash with the second-generation master.
Both of them needed to establish a public persona first so that they wouldn't arouse suspicion when they really started fighting.
But nothing major had happened in New York recently, and the Dark Knight didn't have a chance to shine.
Besides, the second-generation master was supposed to keep a low profile, and shouldn't be "jealous" of the "sacrificial" Batman. Thus, it wouldn't be a bad choice to start with the media.
Thus, Luke had used Trish and the hooligans to put on a short video for the second-generation master to make a low-key appearance before he left.
Just as he was thinking that, he heard footsteps.
Looking at the cake in front of him that had only just begun, he put all the raw materials into his inventory and took out two plates of the finished product.
He had only made the cake to relax and put on a show. He didn't want to waste his precious sleep time on it.
Very soon, the key jingled, and Caroline opened the door.
Seeing Luke, she nodded naturally. "You're still awake?"
Luke said, "I just made some cake. I've just finished cleaning up. I'll make the rest tomorrow."
Caroline felt as if she had been fed another mouthful of lemony dog food.
Although she had a share of the profits from selling the cake, it was hard for her to be happy.
Her roommate was definitely sleeping soundly in bed right now, and she even had a pastry chef boyfriend to help her make the cake.
But she had just returned from cleaning up. The contrast was simply despairing.
In the blink of an eye, Luke finished washing his hands and said to her, "Sleep early. Goodnight." He then went back to Max's room.
Caroline sighed and put down her foldable bed. She then closed the "curtain" that had been added after the "maintenance," and started to change her clothes.
Every time Luke said goodnight to her, he wouldn't leave the room, which meant that she could use the bathroom alone.
Picking up her clothes, she exhaled and walked into the bathroom.
In the room, Luke's Elementary Sound Wave picked up some movement again.
He sighed. Although the soundproofing had improved after the bathroom door was replaced with a new one, he still had superpowers.
Letting his consciousness block out the sound of the female sorcerer in the bathroom, he turned around and hugged the chubby Max. Putting his hands in the most comfortable position, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
…
At dinner the next day, Selina was watching a program on her tablet. She suddenly looked at Luke and asked, "Did the Dark Knight appear last night?"
Luke didn't even need to look to know that Tracy was playing today's episode on her tablet.
He nodded. "Recently, a lot of people think that Batman is dead and can continue doing bad things. There were also many cartels in Mexico who wanted to transport illegal drugs to New York on a large scale to make a fortune. It makes sense for the Dark Knight to appear now. "
Selina was confused. "Isn't Mexico in chaos? Do they still have time to do this? "
Of course, she knew about the cartels in Mexico that had been wiped out, and that it was V who had done it. She also knew why someone didn't want her parents to go back to Mexico to visit their family.
It was because her mother had mentioned this that Selina felt that the Mexican cartels should be too busy to take care of themselves at the moment.
Luke shrugged. "When the big ones fall, there's the small ones. Some of them just happened to get a batch of goods. The boss is gone, and the money from selling the goods is all theirs. Now, the wholesale price of the goods in New York is five times higher than before. As long as they're brave and aren't afraid of getting crippled, it's possible for them to make ten million. It's no wonder they're tempted. "
Selina glanced at the blonde hostess again. After confirming that she wasn't the type that Luke liked, she said, "Can we go for a night run tonight?"
Luke nodded. "Sure. But the black catgirl shouldn't appear with the Dark Knight for now. "
Selina asked, "Why?"
Luke explained, "If Batman really is on good terms with the black catgirl, will she accept" another Batman "in a short period of time and replace him?"
Selina pondered for a moment. "That's true. It's only been two months."
Luke, however, added with a smile, "But Black Cat No. 1 can still be with the Dark Knight."
Enlightened, Selina slapped her forehead. "That's right. Black Cat No. 1's appearance has also changed."
Since Luke could transform from Batman to the Dark Knight, it didn't seem strange for her to change from Bastet to a remote-controlled robot, Black Cat No. 1. In any case, it was just a matter of a disguise.
As they chatted and laughed, they decided on the matter, but it stirred up waves online again.
Selina didn't specifically ask Trish to watch it, but Trish said that the latest episode of the special was already on QQ Hot News, and there was a link to the news video.
Like many people, Selina was a little baffled by the title of "Batman Leaves, The Dark Knight Rises," but she couldn't help clicking on it.
After all, one of Batman's nicknames was the Dark Knight. Of course, there were also people who called him Black Angel, Black Demon, and Black Satan, but the Dark Knight was the most widely recognized nickname.
After reading the news, most people were dumbfounded. What did that mean? So this "Dark Knight" wasn't Batman?
Then, a lot of people immediately found the picture, and were even more confused. Wasn't this … Batman? At most, the style of his armor had been changed? But the style wasn't off.
After reading the hot article, everyone subconsciously clicked on the video of the news program.
Although the article had already explained that the new Dark Knight didn't admit that he was Batman, everyone still wanted to see for themselves what the original video was all about.
After watching the original video that Trish had said in several parts and distributed them in the show, everyone was even more confused. It didn't seem like … this Dark Knight had any intention of "impersonating" or "replacing" Batman, right?
He had only said two sentences to the camera. The first sentence was his name, and the second sentence was "maybe."
How did those long-winded keyboard warriors analyze thousands and tens of thousands of words from these two sentences?
Just like that, before the old curiosity disappeared, new curiosity was born, and more and more netizens were drawn in.
However, most netizens were only concerned, and only a small number of Batman fans accused Trish of misleading the audience with the title.
The Dark Knight only had this one video, and according to what he said in the video, this was the first time he had appeared.
Connecting this with the fact that Batman had been gone for two months, many people subconsciously began to imagine the plot of an inspirational "commoner becoming a hero" movie.
Besides, judging from the fact that this Dark Knight had to use a grappling hook to leave, he was obviously not as strong as the original Batman, who was a "god" who could glide into the sky with his cape in a few steps.
