[Western Crossover] The Bat Kid Came Back as a Brain in a Vat

Recently, the Bat Family suffered a terrible tragedy.

Elias Wayne, age twelve, was murdered.

The boy lay in his coffin with his eyes closed, as if he were only sleeping.

The examination showed that his brain had been completely removed.

After investigating, the furious Bat Family identified the culprit: a superpowered individual who had recently become famous in Gotham, known as “Brain Matter.”

The same person who had recently become their friend.

Elias Wayne had been born into this world from another.

He had a secret plan.

Elias: Dick is a sweet, good-hearted idiot; Jason ran away during his rebellious phase; Tim's pretty calculating, but he has his own business; and Cass doesn't care about this stuff. Besides, none of them are biological kids, so they're no threat. Hahaha!

That's right! Elias wanted to fight for the family fortune. He wanted to become the richest man in the world and keep Batman!

Batman, Bruce is getting old. You should know who would treat you better. (Smirks)

When Elias was twelve, Bruce brought home a biological son. He was two years younger than Elias, but already had several PhDs. A child prodigy!

At their first meeting, his younger brother, Damian, looked around Wayne Manor. “Not bad. It's a valuable asset.”

Elias's heart sank. This was a formidable rival in the fight for the family fortune!

He quietly set out to compete with him, hoping to crush him...

But he couldn't compete at all. Damian was better than him at everything. Waaah!

Damian had never given him a second thought. “Father, what purpose does he serve in this family?”

Furious, Elias ran away from home.

Just then, he got a golden finger: [Transform into Brain Matter].

By possessing a corpse, he could gain its memories, abilities, and everything else.

Gotham had no shortage of anything, least of all corpses.

He immediately came up with a plan: I'll quietly grow stronger and amaze the whole family!

His skull split open, and a brain with steel-blue eyes leaped out. He looked at his own motionless body.

“I'll show Damian that a poor boy can still make it.”

He bought a coffin, hid his body inside, and set himself a modest goal: run into Batman while he was out on patrol.

Everything went smoothly. In a new body with a limp, he gave Batman clues about a case and even got to eat the late-night snack Batman had specially bought for him. Elias was so moved that he burst into tears.

“I've admired you for years, Batman. When I have money, can I sponsor you?”

Batman: “...No need. I have partners.”

Elias: “No, you don't understand. The Waynes are totally unreliable.” Bruce is old, and that brat Damian Wayne will just kick you out. There's no future with the Waynes!

A few months later, he saw his own death notice in the newspaper.

Elias: “???”

Who stole his body!!!

He still needed it!

Furious, he posted a bounty on the dark web: “One million dollars to retrieve Elias Wayne's body from the cemetery.”

And then...

How did he end up fulfilling the Joker's dream so easily, becoming the person Batman hated most? (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
