Superman was also very high-profile. He often pulled cars, planes, rockets, buildings, and so on, but that was mainly to save people.
The Dark Knight, on the other hand, was a little different.
He appeared at the scene of a violent crime every time, but he wasn't a CSI.
Whether the criminal had just started, was in progress, or was already over, the Knight would cripple them the moment he appeared, treat the victim, and call the police.
Only when the police arrived did he leave. Every time the police arrived, they could see the color-changing cape fluttering in the night sky, disappearing into the night.
Superman liked to save civilians more than he was interested in fighting crime.
The Knight's behavior of starting with a disabled person was undoubtedly very cruel.
But compared with Batman, who didn't approach ordinary people and only liked to "talk" with criminals face-to-face, the Knight's behavior had an additional theme of saving people.
Compared with disabled criminals, the victims who were physically injured and whose lives were in danger were truly worthy of sympathy.
In America, where the crime rate was much higher than in their hometown, ordinary people didn't dislike these "vigilantes" at all.
Anyone who had lived to adulthood who hadn't been robbed, beaten, or injured three or five times definitely wasn't at the bottom.
For example, Lord Wei was infamous in Gotham City, but the GCPD police were still willing to clear his name. This was the mentality of "self-preservation."
Who knew, one day, they might be the ones to be rescued — that was what the frontline police thought.
Thus, Victor, who had "infiltrated the enemy's ranks," realized that no matter what he said, public opinion was always lukewarm, rendering the second half of the "shadow plan" useless.
He asked Luke for advice. Luke found that odd. "Why the second half? The second half of the plan is a last resort when things get serious. It's best if it doesn't happen in this lifetime. "
Victor thought for a moment, and had to admit that he really wanted to show off his abilities.
After fooling Victor, Luke murmured to himself, Would I have had to investigate for so long if I could incite a national backlash just by casually making up points?
The reason that public opinion couldn't rise at the bottom was largely because these bad guys could stop children from crying at night.
Unless the TV station hired professional actors or used locals as extras to brace themselves and lie, there was no way they could wash away these people's crimes.
Of course, the TV station would do that.
Then … there was no then.
A large number of online chat logs from the staff of the TV station that hired the actors were leaked. Over the years, they have created fake
There was no doubt about the facts.
Discrediting the knights was just one of their recent 'businesses'.
What was even more serious was that it involved the creation of evidence that the previous owner of the White House, X, had bribed his opponent. This news was even more delightful for the lower class.
This was the "traditional skill" of the American media in three worlds, but such a quick slap in the face still dealt a heavy blow to the reputation of this major TV station.
Most importantly, the competitor who had been scammed was not having a good time at the moment. He could not wait for someone to pay attention to him so that he could make a comeback.
[Integrity] That's right. The politicians are very good at it.
This person immediately jumped onto the show and announced that he would participate in the next election, not allowing those despicable people to continue on stage.
It was his fault for representing a faction that had already lost three times in a row. If he didn't seize the opportunity to counterattack, his faction's title as the "Existence Fleet" would never come to an end.
For a time, the Dark Knight's limelight was no longer as great.
All kinds of black material from both sides flew around the internet. Although the level of the people involved was not high, the density was not small.
Of course, it was Luke who fanned the flames and helped both sides throw out some news that wasn't big but was particularly "explosive."
Were American politicians pulling strings behind the scenes and trading power and money considered news? Barely, but it was definitely the least fresh for the general public.
If they didn't do these things, how could they call themselves American politicians?
Thus, Luke specifically released eye-catching news like XX talking about sisters-in-law or XX persuading his daughter-in-law.
Strictly speaking, these actions were moral issues at most, and weren't illegal or against the rules.
But those people's reputations would be tarnished, and people would talk about them over and over again.
How many people still remembered the "socialites" who had been called "socialites" with Hilton back then?
Well, probably only the other Kardashian who had "replicated" Hilton's rise to fame.
Even the basic impression ordinary people had of the word "socialite" had been changed beyond recognition.
Luke had no qualms about doing this at all.
In a situation where there were so many "talents," the American government's control here was really too weak.
The economic situation wasn't good, and the lives of the people at the bottom were generally a level lower than in their hometown next door. They were very resentful of the government, and it was easy to cause chaos.
So what if Batman broke the law? So what if the Dark Knight broke the law? At the very least, these two were dealing with criminals and bad guys.
Which of the officials didn't make money illegally? If anyone wanted to oppose them, they would be the first to be targeted.
After Luke made such a big fuss, Lord Wei couldn't sit still anymore.
It wasn't that he was jealous, but that Luke was too skilled, and he felt uneasy.
He could easily toy with the people at the bottom, the top, and the government in the palm of his hand, while he carried out his own chivalry. Lord Wei was all too familiar with this kind of method.
However, Lord Wei's method was mainly successful in Gotham City; it wasn't as good in other parts of the country.
After all, he was still a human being, and one who was almost forty years old. How could he compare to a super "liver king" who forced himself to sleep for two hours every day?
Thus, when Lord Wei called Luke back to the base for a chat, he had mixed feelings when he saw the young, handsome, and fair-skinned Lord Wei.
But their conversation was still very peaceful.
As a big capitalist who had been in the business world for many years, Lord Wei's emotions could be considered stable on the surface. He was just testing Luke with words that were neither too light nor too heavy, hoping that Luke wouldn't make such a big fuss.
Luke didn't agree right away. Instead, he laid out the facts and said that it was difficult, making it clear that he didn't want to cause trouble in Gotham City and the metropolis.
Lord Wei was a little annoyed, but he couldn't really let Luke do this in his own base, could he?
The reality was that America's overall economic situation wasn't good. The financial industry was developed, the manufacturing industry was sluggish, and there were only a few jobs that could make money.
Without jobs or stable and suitable jobs, a lot of people at the bottom naturally relied on illegal means to survive.
If he really wiped out all the gangsters in Gotham City overnight, it would be another group of people fighting for money and power the next day, and everything would return to normal after killing them all.
Many of the people who were implicated in this kind of fire would definitely blame it on the Knights.
Thinking that way, Luke felt that spreading his energy to all the major cities in America really was the only feasible plan.
It wasn't like Luke couldn't do what Lord Wei did in Gotham City in other cities, right?
After arguing for a while, the two of them finally reached a consensus.
At that moment, Xiao Ba, who had come back early for the "meeting," was already a little smoky, and he could only stuff himself with tea to keep from dozing off.
Victor only listened for a few minutes before he decisively left.
He was a more traditional African American, and wasn't interested in this kind of scheming at all. There was no way he would get involved in the quarrel between these two bigwigs.
While he was pouring tea for Lord Wei to moisten his throat, Luke's phone rang.
His expression changed as he picked it up and looked at it. He exclaimed, "No wonder Arthur hasn't contacted us recently."
