Western Crossover: Am I Wrong to Be a Cool and Aloof Batman?

Eden Wayne was born prematurely and was sickly from an early age, so his father, Thomas, gave up the name "Bruce" he'd originally planned to use and named him "Eden" instead: the Garden of Eden, a name meaning light and happiness.

For their child Eden, Thomas and Martha rose to the challenge. Thomas took a page from the ancients and endured hardship in silence, playing nice with the forces of darkness until he finally rose to the top and took control of Gotham's "night": the Court of Owls.

To protect his frail child in the "criminal city" of "the land of the free," Thomas sacrificed a great deal of hair. Whether it was the economy, politics, or those incorrigible villains, a cold glint flashed in Thomas's eyes. Pen in one hand, gun in the other, he was ready to take on anyone.

Martha supported him. It was as if she had become the young lady of the Kane family once again, cutting through Gotham politics with swift, decisive action.

Of course, this was also thanks to the "Owls" at Thomas's disposal.

The more they learned about this criminal city, the more horrifying it became. A few brief lines on paper could never capture the chaos and the sea of corpses behind Gotham's fearsome reputation.

Everything seemed to be back on track, and Thomas and Martha continued working for the sake of beautiful Gotham.

You handle the killing, I'll handle the cheering.jpg

Eden tilts his head innocently and coughs. Somehow, I feel like I don't fit in with their vibe...

Here are the confessions of Gotham's new villains, who are all over the place and have a completely different vibe.

Mr. Joker: Little Bat is so cute, hehe!

Professor Snow: I said I'm not Mr. Freeze. Call me Professor Snow!

Riddler: Oh, oh, oh, riddles really are my favorite!

Penguin: Shh... Batman has a huge background. We can't afford to mess with him!

Then, one day, at one particular time, in one particular place...

Eden broke through the fourth wall and fell into a Marvel and DC crossover world, where everything was thrown into one big pot.

"...Heh." Eden wraps his coat tightly around himself. The Wayne family is one of Marvel's biggest benefactors, and he does like the superheroes and the morally ambiguous supervillains in that world... But that doesn't mean he wants to go up against them in person!

And besides... Eden pulls out a newspaper and falls into thought.

The muscular man on it, built like he could punch three Edens to death, is Gotham's prince, Bruce Wayne?!

What the hell, a playboy?! An extreme sports enthusiast?

OMG...

And his parents are... both dead (with difficulty)?

Eden Wayne is a little angry. He doesn't know why, maybe because his plan to seek out his parents in a parallel world has fallen through. As for going to his own alternate self... Eden's gaze turns scornful. Doesn't he know what kind of person he is? Even with his parents practically spoiling him and keeping him safe, he's still this "rebellious." This Bruce's personality must be even more suffocating than his! Don't believe him? Ask ACE. It would definitely shake its head too.

Another way to look at it:

Eden Wayne, AKA Batman, is a cool, aloof detective. He has absolutely nothing to do with certain people who enforce the law violently. Eden nods, certain of it.

One day, he's tricked into a mixed Marvel and DC universe.

Eden: ...Keep smiling.jpg Smile your way through life.jpg

I'm a brains-over-brawn type who can't fight, and you want me to save the world.jpg

Still, Batman can do anything.jpg

In short, he, Eden, AKA Batman, needs to cause trouble in this world to earn a currency called "emotional points"... No, energy, so he can save his own world... Oh, right, he can also use "emotional points" to redeem all kinds of oddball minions to help him "make money."

Why call them "oddball minions"?

When Eden first heard about it, his eyes lit up. "Too young, too simple" to know better, he immediately asked the world's consciousness if he could bring his parents over to help. He found out that the energy needed to bring each person over varies, depending on how much they like him and how close they are to him. In other words, the stronger someone is, the more energy it takes to bring them across, while a higher level of affection makes them more likely to come over and help him. That means his parents, Thomas and Martha, need the most energy... but they're also the most likely to come help him. All he needs is the energy.

And the easiest people to summon aren't his "incredibly powerful" superhero friends, but his "Arkham fan club" (gritting his teeth).

What the heck! Eden is almost furious enough to curse. Are these weirdos really coming over to help him, or just make things worse?! More importantly, why the hell are all their affection levels so high?! Did someone mess something up or what?!

Eden feels a little down. If his parents came, they'd definitely do a better job than he could.

Note: There are a few secret identity elements. At first, the others can't come over, but the show must go on.
