Hello!
Today we will talk about what Batman has experienced after becoming a vampire and becoming Batman.
The action takes place in an unknown universe. While patrolling Gotham, Kirk learns that someone has kidnapped an 8-year-old girl, Anna Hernandez. After conducting a secret investigation, Langstrom realizes that she was taken from her own home in the dead of night and raped. Having calculated the address where Anna is being held, Batman moves into place.
The main character finds a crying girl tied hand and foot on a table in the basement. Calming and untying Anna, Kirk takes her into hiding. When the kidnapper returns, Langstrom attacks him. The rapist turns out to be Adrian Jacobs, the owner of a chain of hardware stores and a former volunteer in soup kitchens for the homeless. Adrian also coached the high school softball team, and at night kidnapped little girls and bullied them in various ways. Beating Jacobs, Batman once again makes sure that monsters appear in images that you don't expect, and evil can hide inside, or rather, behind good clothes and a cute face. When Adrian tries to shoot the main character, he breaks his arm, and then drinks all his blood.
Kirk returns the girl to her mom and watches them hug. Returning to the old church, under which the base is located, Langstrom again struggles with hunger. After some time, his old friend Hernan Guerra, known to everyone as Superman, arrives to Batman. Losing, the main character attacks the latter. Hernan calms Kirk down and gives him a test tube with blood, saying that friends should lend a helping hand when they can. Langstrom says he doesn't want to know where Guerra got this blood from.

While at the docks with a rat in his mouth, the main character meets Superman for the first time, who helps him get back on his feet. After that, Kirk makes inquiries about Hernan.
NOW
Guerro asks Langstrom for help with Jackson Alpert. Batman says that at the University of Gotham, everyone thought he was either a visionary or a freak, but in fact they were just jealous of his talent. Superman tells how Jackson, using his improvement technology, founded his own city "Forever" and turned sick old people into young Forever People. Thinking that these technologies can cure Kirk, both go to look for Alpert. Along the way, Langstrom tells Hernan that he is more worried about Forever People - those who, in theory, are equal to him in strength.
Later, while Guerro penetrates into Eternity as guests, Batman, having learned that Howard Barrison - a very successful man in the world - knows something about Jackson, then goes to San Francisco. The main character kidnaps Howard from his own apartment and begins to brutally interrogate him. Kirk decides to beat out all of Barrison's blood, but stops and asks him only to tell him everything about Alpert and the man people call "Dr. Psycho".
A few hours later, Langstrom infiltrates the "University of Gotham", where he finds his former idol Dr. Alexander Luthor. It turns out that Alexander knows everything about Batman and believes that he is driven not by noble motives, but by primal hunger. Removing the mask, the main character reveals his identity to Lex. Unfortunately, he doesn't recognize him. Kirk asks Luthor to help stop Jackson. Alexander sees no reason to stop Alpert, but Langstrom reports that about 40 years ago this guy was a dangerous fraudster - an underground chemist "Doctor Psycho". Jackson's path of experimentation is littered with dozens of corpses, and some have suffered worse than death. Lex declares that Dr. Psycho officially died in 1967, and sees no reason to arrest Alpert, after which he electrocutes Langstrom. According to Luthor, the main threat to Earth is heroes, and Jackson will bring peace and order. Batman says that he and Superman have saved many lives. Also, the main character learns about the existence of the superheroine "Wonder Woman". Alexander continues to stand his ground, which is why the frustrated protagonist quietly escapes and decides to visit Forever on his own and possibly save Hernan and Wonder Woman.
As Kirk approaches the city, he is stopped by combat drones. The latter hit Langstrom with a powerful electric discharge. When the drones, mistaking Batman for a corpse, bring him inside, he penetrates the complex and turns it into his hiding place, after which he hacks the systems of the "Forever Institute" and makes inquiries about Wonder Woman.
A few days later, the main character finds and recruits a heroine whose real name is Bekka.
Later, the heroine comes to him, dragging a weakened Guerro with her. Kirk tells the heroes that the real Jackson Alpert died more than 40 years ago, and Dr. Psycho is a former CIA researcher who took his identity. It turns out that Psycho was Wonder Woman's enemy. A second later, a hologram of "Alpert" appears, inciting Forever People against the trinity. They knock out the heroes.
Langstrom wakes up naked in the capsule, like the others, and learns that he has been out for several days. Jackson appears before the trio, who, by adding their DNA to his formula, has become younger, and his consciousness is developing. After a while, Alpert will become something more than Forever People. Psycho says that Forever People have already created their own fortresses all over the world. Whatever the outcome of the war between fans and opponents of the Forever People, Jackson controls them. A second later, a member of the Forever People named Fastback kills Alpert and frees the trio. The broken girl asks the heroes to leave and stop the rest of the Forever People.
The trio goes to Mumbai to stop the new leader of the Forever People - the Big Bear. When the latter knocks out Superman and Bekka, Batman bites him from the back, thereby injecting his antidote from Jackson's formula into his body. As a result, the Big Bear turns back into an infirm old man and falls into a coma. After that, the main character throws his first batarangs soaked in an antidote at each Forever. As a result, the same thing happens to Forever People as with the Big Bear. The heroes return all the cured to the "Forever Institute", where they put everyone in a separate capsule, and gather all the brilliant minds of the world so that they can help them. Lex, who arrived with the rest of the scientists, calls the trinity the main problem of the Earth and threatens them that someday he will eliminate this threat. Having threatened Luthor in response, the heroes fly away. On the way, Hernan says that Alpert's body is missing. A second later, something attacks the trio. This thing says it was once Jackson Alpert/Dr. Psycho. Now it has evolved. Jackson calls himself Imperiex. Kirk concludes that, thanks to the improved formula, Alpert may be immortal. The latter fancied himself a God. With one wave of his hand, Imperiex throws the heroes away like flies. When the latter knock him to the ground, he decides to "remake" them. The likeness of God places each hero in a force field and decides to upload his consciousness into every person on the planet so that "Paradise" will come. By removing the force fields, Imperiex captures the minds of the trinity by brute force.
Upon waking up, Langstrom learns that it was Wonder Woman's "Mother Box" that freed them from the control of this creature. Unfortunately, Imperiex grabs the Mother and crushes her. The escaped energy throws the heroes away, and the creature knocks out. While Bekka is in shock, Batman and Guerro try to stop Imperiex, but he quickly comes to his senses and arranges a powerful earthquake and severely injures her. Superman asks the main character to take Wonder Woman away and he says he will be back soon. Having done this, Kirk brings Bekka to herself. She tells Langstrom that they can use the echoes of the godlike creature's consciousness against him. Returning to Hernan, Batman, using a fragment of the box, makes a huge crack in the Imperiex frontal reactor. Continuing to hole the creature's body, the main character asks Guerro for help. Holding Wonder Woman's sword in their hands, the trio pierces the heart of Imperiex with one powerful blow. The latter is torn to pieces, after which he becomes the same old invalid. Jackson says that, thanks to the improved formula, he will become an Imperiex again in a few seconds. When Alpert's cells begin to regenerate, Bekka cuts off his head, and Superman burns his body with thermal vision. A second later, a US Army military plane lands next to the heroes, from which they exit:
- President Amanda Waller
- Colonel A.R.G.U.S. Steve Trevor
- Counselor Dr. Luthor
The trio follows them.
In the secret headquarters of the US Army, Alexander and Amanda report that the heroes are a global threat. When an angry Hernan decides to leave, Kirk stops him and says he understands Waller's concerns. Agreeing with the president's opinion, the trio becomes a team called the Justice League. The government is also building a bright and shiny tower for them with the latest generation of technology. Steve is now the League's representative in Government. Lex tells the team that this way people will be less afraid of them. Guerra declares that no one can control them.
I hope you enjoy it.
