What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 57 Justice
"Fighting with the dragon for too long, you become a dragon yourself; staring at the abyss for too long, the abyss... will stare back."

The amygdala woke up from the severe pain, and he wailed while crying, bemoaning the pain and suffering he had suffered.

Killer Alligator let go of the amygdala.

Chen Tao looked at him, even the chaotic and chaotic brain of mania could feel Batman's gaze.

The sound of crying was stopped by an invisible big hand pinching his neck, and he fell to the ground with a whimper, curling up his body tremblingly.

"It's over, Batman. You, too, are a prisoner of the crimes of Gotham."

The Riddler announced: "Do you remember the Romans? Came Falcone, do you know that the goal of Came Falcone's life when he was young was to end the evil in Gotham?"

"—and he later became the biggest gang leader in Gotham, and so did you, Bat. When righteous people succumb to sin, it's as harmful as a public well being poisoned!"

He said a little madly: "Therefore--Batman is dead!"

He threw the gun in his hand on the ground: "Bat King has been reborn!"

He exaggeratedly bowed towards Chen Tao, like a jester in a stage play: "Batman! You are now a criminal too!
He exclaimed joyfully:

"You are no different from us!"

The Riddler has been convinced by the set of logic he thought out, and Batman, who murdered the Joker head-on, is undoubtedly already a criminal partner like him in his eyes.

And Batman has the same characteristics as him, but is much stronger than him, so——

He surrendered, in every sense of the word.

Chen Tao knew that if he hooked his fingers at this time, the Riddler would pounce on him and lick his toes...

Well, maybe the other party will be more reserved and not be so exaggerated.

But the attitude inside is the same.

As long as Chen Tao thinks, he can immediately get help from the Riddler. If he does this, it will definitely be very convenient to defeat Bane, find the nuclear bomb, save or rule the entire city by relying on the other party's IQ, resources and force. Bar?
but……

I reject!
"I've been a criminal for a long time, Nygma. Violation of personal rights, unlawful possession of deadly force, flagrant violation of the Fort Law, I never denied it. Now it's just first-degree murder added to the charge."

"But you bastard, listen up."

"You said so much, I think it's all bullshit!"

"Your dark coercion theory is just another bad day variant."

Chen Tao said:

"You think everybody's going to be some sort of minion of darkness, like the Joker thinks even Gordon can be a Joker if he's having a bad day. But Gordon didn't become a Joker. Neither did Barbara."

He said these words, but his eyes looked at Jim Gordon who was blindfolded.

"Whether it's a bad day or darkness, it's just an excuse for bad guys to do bad things."

"Law? The law is just a piece of paper to me, Nygma, please don't get me wrong. I used to draw a bottom line for myself. It is not myself that is protecting, but you."

"I've been thinking about whether it's just to sacrifice a little bit of justice for the sake of a greater justice."

"So you have an answer now, Batman?"

Chen Tao sighed.

From the moment Edward Nickmar opened his mouth, he knew that the person he needed to refute was not the collapsed Riddler in front of him at all.

It was another member of Gotham's iron triangle, the chief of police who gave everything to the city, Jim Gordon.

He took off Jim Gordon's blindfold.The other party looked at him with pity.

"Batman, you were once hope."

He said.

Jim's expression was a little dazed, he stared at Chen Tao closely:

"You told us, you told Gotham."

"No matter how rich the knowledge and talent you have, you can't be as superior as Nigma."

"No matter how much you want to save your family, you can't sacrifice the lives of innocent people for your family like Victor did. No matter how cold the night in Gotham is, you shouldn't use other people's blood to warm yourself.

"Judicial efforts will always have results in the end. Society will not remain in a gray area forever. Justice will eventually be worth protecting."

"You told us [the world is worth it], even if you have experienced the worst day, even if you have experienced pain that countless people can't even imagine, but no matter how painful, no matter how crazy, no matter how desperate, it is worth it."

He suddenly said with a nervous breakdown:

"You told us that the greatness of mankind lies in the fact that after facing the incomparably cruel and bloody darkness of human history, we still have hope in him and work hard to heal this human society instead of destroying it with a single shot! This is all You said, this is what you taught us!"

"Why? Why did the clown win? Why did you make such a sudden decision? Why did you make yourself like them?"

"My God, you should have sent the clown to jail instead of shooting him!"

"I didn't crush him." Chen Tao said, "I cut him into meat sauce.

Chen Tao added: "The kind that is crushed. Clown sauce."

"Clown, clown-chan. I'm pretty sure that's some kind of bad Japanese joke."

Gordon said nonsense in anger: "Why, do you still want to make clown sauce into some kind of bat-clown-flavored sandwich?"

"And that's what I did, and I'm sorry, Jim."

"You know that after you do that, Batman will degenerate into..."

"Procedural justice is just a means, Jim Gordon."

"what?"

"I'll just spit on the clown's corpse, Gordon. Murdering the clown doesn't make me some random murderous tyrant or dictator."

"Do you really believe in fallacies like the slippery slope theory? Haven't we been chasing substantive justice?"

Chen Tao said: "Superheroes have abilities, and they should inspire the world to make the right choices.

When procedural justice and institutions can do this, of course I should support the institutions and procedures, but when the institutions and procedures are dysfunctional and corrupt, I should also supervise the institutions and procedures themselves.

In essence, the justice pursued by superheroes should be above the law.Otherwise, why didn't I just join the system and become a police officer? "

Gordon responded with silence.

Chen Tao sighed.He stopped what he was about to say, then shook his head.

This kind of thing is essentially a difference in philosophy and thinking. Jim Gordon has been in the system for too long, and his thinking has been framed.

From the moment he murdered the clown, he had already thought that it would be impossible for the two of them to reach a cooperative relationship like in the past.

This is also the price that must be paid, and he had expected it long ago.

"So now, Mr. Nigma. You'd better tell me where you stole Penguin's nuclear bomb."

"What nuclear bomb? I never stole a nuclear bomb!"
