Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Batman's reputation has reversed and reversed one after another in the past few days. After everything came to light, his reputation did not rise as people expected, but he fell into another public opinion crisis again.

It is indeed Batman's usual low-key style to prepare all the gang members and evidence involved in the murder case and quietly throw them at the gate of the police station, but it does not mean that the public will accept it.

From the praise at the beginning to the doubts later, the entire change of public opinion took only one afternoon.

When the news first broke out, people's first reaction was of course admiration and praise, but after an afternoon, through the detailed analysis of some conspiracy theorists, this behavior that should have demonstrated Batman's selflessness began to change.

Just like what Vera saw in the comment with the highest likes, this strange ID that popped up all of a sudden hit the most critical logical points in this incident, strangling all the pulse of Mr. Heiqiqi The door, so that he can't explain it even if he wants to explain it.

First, Batman is so powerful, why has he been indifferent to this matter before?

Of course, it's not indifferent. Gordon and Batman have been secretly investigating Colum from the beginning, but this matter cannot be explained to the public.

If there is an explanation, the Gotham Police Department and Chief Gordon will be implicated, and the secret cooperation between the two will even be exposed.

Second, since Batman was able to investigate this matter long ago, why did he allow Colum to be scolded by public opinion for so long without saying anything?Did Batman do it on purpose?

Of course...he did it on purpose→_→

This deliberation was not because Mr. Heiqiqi was really narrow-minded enough to take revenge on Columbine, but that he was still investigating several gangster trading channels behind Columbine at that time—he didn’t even have time to investigate these gangsters. How could there still be time to clarify for Ke Lun.

But if he wants to explain, it will directly expose all his plans, even involving Vera, so he will not explain.

In addition, in the subsequent follow-up comments, there is one of the most critical and worst points-the issue of Batman's abuse of criminal suspects.

Newspapers and media have basically reported this point before, but after Vera generously reverse-washed the murder case, almost no one believed the truth in the traditional media reports... But just this morning, Batman personally The incriminating evidence was sent to those people.

Through the live broadcast, almost everyone could clearly see that this group of gangsters... were sent here after being beaten up.

Especially Bob, he was beaten and fractured. When he was taken into custody, the police even called a doctor to treat him.

On the social networking platform, a self-media made a special issue of "Uncovering Batman" on this matter.

He took screenshots of all the cases of "Batman abused innocent citizens" that had been reported by the newspaper before, and at the end, he posted the screenshots of the live broadcast of the news.

——"This is the superhero in your heart."

This "Batman Demystified" reads:

"I don't deny the power of Batman. As a superhero, he does his duty, but no one can deny that his methods are extreme."

"The news reported by the "New York Daily" was scoffed at by everyone, but after I read it carefully, I found that this report is actually flawless. Of course, Batman is not the murderer of the Colum case as the "New York Daily" said , but all the excesses about Batman in that report, when considered, are all true."

"Through the Kelun case, everyone understands that criminals and criminal suspects are two different concepts. A criminal suspect does not mean that he is the real murderer. Before the case is settled, none of us can punish the criminal suspect. lynching.

However, Batman, as a superhero, beats and intimidates those criminal suspects unscrupulously—Excuse me, Batman, how do you know they are guilty?How do you know that your actions are absolutely appropriate?What qualifications do you have to take the lead in punishing those people? "

At the end of the article, the author simply shouted to Batman from the air, and said righteously:

"Batman, you have also been defined as a criminal suspect. Are we right to criticize you?"

Like the "Don't Let Walker Get Away" short essay, this unbiased and right-handed article, of course, caused an uproar.

Although not as intense and provocative as Vera's essay, this level of accountability is already excellent.

You know, the vast majority of people have never been to Gotham at all, and they have no idea what the situation in Gotham City is like. If you just read this article without considering the reality, everyone will definitely stand on the side of the self-media. this side.

Even if there are a large number of people who support Batman, they are undeniable and almost speechless in the face of such ironclad evidence.

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

In just three days, with the popularity of this "Batman Revealed", countless self-media followed suit and released more articles and videos about accountability for Batman. The people of Gotham are heartbroken about the process of being persecuted by Batman.

Interestingly, in this "lynching" movement denouncing Batman, the traditional paper media, such as newspapers and magazines, which were the first to expose these black materials, kept silent, and it was the Internet that rushed to the forefront of the battlefield. These self-media.

…Of course, there are those so-called "average people in Gotham".

Vera looked at them one by one with great interest.

"There's really nothing we can do."

An account from Gotham said bitterly, "Everyone thinks Batman is a superhero - of course, I admit that he has paid a lot for the law and order of Gotham, but I really hope that the law and order of Gotham is maintained by the police , not a masked vigilante."

While another posted: "Who knows how he defines a suspect? Who knows if his investigation will go wrong? I saw my friendly and gentle neighbor attacked by Batman in the middle of the night— But how could he be the bad guy? It scares me so much that if I don’t clarify these facts, the bat dart will fall on me.”

The Gotham citizen's speech became popular in the headlines in a short period of time. Several self-media accounts reposted this comment, accompanied by deep sighs and expressions of fear.

After watching the whole trend of public opinion, Vera almost clapped her hands in admiration.

I have to say... the opponent's move is simply extremely sinister and vicious.

Obviously, unlike the previous traditional paper media, these powerful self-media have used another method.

Their point is simple: they admit that Batman is powerful, and they also admit that Batman didn't kill people.

However, they are just afraid, afraid that Batman will abuse the lynching at will-the Collen incident has proved that he is not a saint, and he also has a vengeful mentality, and he will let the other side do nothing because of Collen's previous slander.

So according to this logic, if Batman is dissatisfied with someone, or has a grudge against someone, can he use the reason of "suspect" to lynch the person he is dissatisfied with?

What's more vicious is that this incident can be fermented as a whole again, and it can completely expand to the entire superhero group-that is, everyone in the super seven.

Superheroes are so powerful that ordinary people cannot resist them.

Superheroes can also have selfish motives, just like Batman did with Cullen.

Combining the two, if such a powerful superhero has selfish intentions, will he join forces to fight against dissidents and directly eradicate all "enemies" they don't like or hinder them?

This is the concept that the other party ultimately wants the public to understand and be alert to.

Sure enough, four days after Batman was caught up in the "abuse of criminal suspects" public opinion storm, a political pundit launched an initiative on Twitter.

He called on the government to be vigilant against the uncontrolled superheroes, and hoped that the government could use legal means to curb superheroes and make them abide by the law—at least not like Batman, wantonly abusing their abilities to do evil.

This unknown fire finally burned from Batman to everyone in the Super Seven.

Not long after the political pundit spoke, Clark, who was a daily intern in an advertising company, finally received a text message from Chaoying's contact, Steve Trevor.

The Air Force captain who once brought Wonder Woman from Paradise Island to the United States and served as the liaison of the Super Seven after the Washington War asked seven people including Superman and Batman to rush to a certain place in Washington two days later. The secret base gathers for a meeting.

Clark knew at a glance that this was the result of recent online public opinion.

He has been an intern at the Sterling Cooper advertising company for so long, and after being influenced by Vera, he still has some understanding of the current public's views on superheroes, and he is relatively calm.

From the perspective of a half-professional, at this time, the best way to completely solve the troubles caused by Batman is to hire a professional to conduct crisis public relations for Batman and the Super Seven .

After so many days of practice, Clark has long known how deep the water in public opinion and the media world is - he certainly doesn't think that half a bucket of water like himself can help Batman and the Super Seven solve their problems.

And this professional must have very strong and effective means, at least... half of Vera's ability.

——As for why not just Vera?

Clark, who is unconsciously biased and has some inexplicable thoughts: How dangerous it is to help Batman and us, what if Miss Senna is in danger?

Thinking of this, Clark rarely spared half a day of internship time, made a list of all the capable and powerful PR teams he knew in the PR industry, and sent it to Batman first.

…This kind of list really lists all the famous people in the industry, except Vera.

Out of good intentions, he not only sent Batman a list of recommendations, but also made a special phone call to his colleague in Gotham, and explained to him the current public opinion situation and the situation from a professional point of view. Solution:

"No matter what, I think we still need a spokesperson for the outside world, otherwise, every time we encounter such a crisis of public opinion, the Super Seven will be very passive."

On the other end of the phone, Batman was silent for a long time.

After a long time, he thanked Clark coldly, expressing that he would think carefully about it and carefully choose the public relations personnel, then hung up the phone.

Thinking of the various unfortunate public opinion crises that Batman has encountered recently, Clark can only sigh for this colleague.

...How could Batman be so unlucky that he bumped into everyone in one go?

I hope that Batman can figure it out as soon as possible and hire professional public relations personnel to solve this crisis as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Clark has been kindly considering which public relations team to hire for Batman during the entire overtime work process. He has been deliberating for a long time, and he has checked a lot of information, and even consulted Mary for her opinion. .

Clark, who was still worried about Batman until he got home from get off work in the early morning, saw a familiar figure on the wall of his house who had rushed over under the moonlight.

The black bat cape landed on the balcony on the third floor right in front of him.

There is Vera's bedroom.

Clark: "..."

Batman: "..."
