[Comprehensive British and American] HE saves the world

Chapter 72: "Why so serious?"

If you want to ask who is Batman's worst enemy, ten out of ten Gotham people will report the name of the Joker.

Not even Batman himself can deny this.

The craziest criminal in Gotham doesn't have any logic in his actions. If we say that other super criminals - Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Killer Crocodile, Penguin... even Harley Quinn - have their own ways of acting. Logic, there is something they want to seek.Money, fame, faith... even love.

But only the clown, he commits crimes as he pleases, as if crime itself is his purpose, destruction is his greatest desire, there is no idea in his crimes, even if he lays out an extremely huge conspiracy involving all aspects, Maybe it's just because he "wanted to try it."

He treats it all as a joke and, like a bad comedian, treats crime as a comedy show.

—even if he was the only one on the field laughing about it.

It is precisely because he acts illogically that he is unpredictable.

The only thing that is certain is that the clown has a special sense of ritual for festivals, and "joking" with everyone on the day when everyone is celebrating is his favorite thing to do.

With the Joker around, Batman doesn't have a peaceful holiday.

April Fool's Day, Halloween, Christmas... As soon as the holidays come, Batman's nerves are tense to a certain level.

Today is no exception.

Bruce Wayne has always had a very bad feeling today.Even if Dick kept telling bad puns into the communicator in his ear that weren't funny.

Yes, that's right, Nightwing, who has gone solo to Bludhaven to be a vigilante, is back in Gotham today.

In his words, "Even the gangsters and criminals in Bludhaven give themselves a holiday for Christmas, but the guys in Arkham are different. As we all know, Arkham Asylum and brother The Tan Crime Unit is open all year round, so I decided to come back and help Batman."

Of course, stopping by for Alfred's special Christmas dinner and special cookies is also a reason.After all, although Nightwing's culinary skills are a little better than Batman's, but only a little bit better, he doesn't want to spend Christmas alone in a rented apartment with a turkey he roasted himself, God, that would be too miserable up.

Bruce is grateful for Dick coming back to help, and it would be nice if the ex-Robin didn't keep whispering those deadly cold puns in his ears.

Of course, no one thinks that the Christmas clown will be out of trouble.Anyway, the clown is an old acquaintance of the people of Gotham. When Dick was still Robin, one Christmas, the clown was still locked up in Arkham, so he would sit on a Christmas tree rocket and break through the ceiling to escape. Come out and do something for Batman.The mood to do things can be said to be very persistent.

So when Bruce Wayne and the others learned that the clown ran to attack the Gotham police station, Dick was still in the communicator with a long sigh of relief.

"It's finally here." He said in a complicated tone, "If this guy doesn't do something, we all don't need to sleep tonight."

"Don't take it lightly."

With a frivolous smile, Bruce Wayne found some excuse to disappear from the boardroom. As soon as he entered his dressing room, his face suddenly sank, and he warned the communicator with Batman's voice. Nightwing.

"With the character of the clown, if he reveals his hole card so easily, it only means one thing, he still has a bigger bomb buried behind him."

Jason's voice suddenly broke into the communication: "I've arrived at the police station. The clowns shot and killed one police officer, and broke the arm of another policewoman... Chief Gordon and the serious crime team have already The situation was under control, 3 of the clown's subordinates were killed, and the remaining 2 were arrested together with the clown... Wait a minute, B, the clown seems to have been seriously injured before he came, and I think something is wrong."

Something was wrong, even from such a distance, Bruce could still hear the clown laughing hysterically, he was laughing so hard that bursts of high-pitched laughter drilled into his eardrums like electric drills.Bruce frowned, put on the bat helmet, and jumped into the Batmobile that had been prepared underground in Wayne Tower.

"I'm going there now. Before that, Robin stays put, Nightwing, you sneak into the police station to monitor the situation, and negotiate with Gordon if necessary."

"Understood. Nightwing is in position," Dick replied curtly, cutting off the communication.

"...Robin is in place." Jason paused for a long time before saying reluctantly.

Batman frowned. He should have explained to Robin that he didn't trust his ability to wait for orders, but hoped that he could monitor the external situation and cooperate with Nightwing. Robin was their last line of defense until the villain arrived - no amount of caution could ever be too prudent when it comes to the Joker.

But the lingering sense of disturbance in his heart made him press the accelerator blindly, galloping on the streets of Gotham at high speed, passing several cars in a row in a serious violation of traffic regulations, and then remembered what his girlfriend said about him getting along with his adopted son Bruce was silent for a few seconds after repeated orders from the mode, and found a gap to reply to Jason's communication.

"I believe you can complete this task, Robin."

Just such a brief sentence immediately revived Jason, who was a little depressed. The boy replied "Yes!" forcefully, and cut off the communication.

The corners of Batman's tight mouth relaxed a little, but a few seconds later, a new communication was connected to his communicator.

"The clinic was attacked, and 'Dr. Lampelucci' is missing." Alfred's voice sounded in his ears like a thunderbolt.

……

……

……

Batman drives to Nunnally's clinic.

In the clinic, he saw corpses lying on the ground, with ferocious smiles on every face, and the horrifying remains were the marks left by the clown's laughing gas—and those who had appeared to him over the years The Joker's victims are all alike.

The body of Saki Shiko, who was shot more than a dozen times, fell at the gate, and there were two corpses wearing clown masks lying at her feet, and the corpses that died of laughing gas fell behind her. Stop the intruder, but here she was attacked by many people. Although she tried her best to kill two people, she failed to prevent the cold guns from behind, and finally fell under the random guns.

Batman knelt and closed his eyes for the taciturn guardian.

He stepped over her pool of blood and walked towards the consulting room.On the beige floor of the clinic, a row of reddish-brown footprints walked through the corridor and walked towards the gate.Batman closed his eyes, forcing himself not to think about whose blood it was.

He followed the line of blood and walked to the familiar meeting room.The wooden door, which was mostly destroyed, was open, revealing the scorched interior of the room. There were traces of battles everywhere. Batman could even tell from the traces on the floor and walls that they belonged to Nunnally's wheelchair. which kind of weapon.

She fought as hard as she could, but she still couldn't beat the Joker.

...how could she have won the Joker.

Batman stopped in front of the blood-spattered wheelchair, unable to move.

For dozens of seconds, he even forgot to breathe.

"B?"

Nightwing's voice regained his sanity, and Batman slowly rolled his eyes, turning his eyes away from the blood-spattered chair back and armrests, and turned down.

Those bloody locators were left in the wheelchair, posing in a twisted smile.Batman could even imagine the Joker humming and laying them out on the chair, like a giant taunt.

"The GCPD (Gotham City Police Headquarters) officers seem to be trying to extract a confession from the Joker and ask him what he's up to. Chief Gordon stopped them for now, but I think the situation is getting out of hand."

Ye Yi didn't know what was going on here, but from his deep voice, he could imagine the critical situation at the police station.

"I think you'd better come and have a look."

"...I'll be right there."

Batman's voice was as low as it came from hell.

……

……

……

Batman burst into the GCPD like a black storm.

In the past, Batman has maintained a tacit understanding with these police officers. They pretended not to know that Batman was secretly inquiring about their investigation progress and physical evidence, and Batman would not openly interfere with their law enforcement or openly enter the police station.

But today the situation has changed.

All they saw was that Batman smashed open the door of the interrogation room like a whirlwind, grabbed the clown by the neck and forcefully lifted him up against the wall. The loud noise made all the rookie policemen present tremble and their necks ached. .

"Where is she?!" he asked sharply.

The clown laughed frantically.

James Gordon frowned and gestured to the other police officers. The door of the interrogation room was locked immediately, and the power supply was cut off, forming a perfect secret room.No one can spy on the situation in the room, which ensures that Batman can torture the clown to his heart's content, and also guarantees the "ignorance" and purity of the police present.

In the dark room, the clown stared at Batman with his eyes wide open, his smile widened, almost cracked, and his eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Why so serious?"

He said with a smile.

"Tell me—where is she?!"

Batman grabbed the Joker's head and slammed his head against the table with such a loud noise that it almost cracked his skull.

"Hiss—it's boring to react like this, Bat."

The clown sighed pretentiously, but the corners of his mouth were still raised high, his cunning black eyes rolled around in his sockets, and he squinted reflexively because of Batman's arm suddenly pressing down, and shouted repeatedly "Relax, relax", the clown let out intermittent twitching laughter as the pressure became heavier and heavier, almost to the point of crushing his skull.

"Please, Bat, don't be so boring - it's just a joke, why so serious?"

"Don't make me ask again - where the hell did you take her?!"

"Oh——are you talking about that poor lamb? She resisted so fiercely. She is indeed your woman, Bat. I thought she was a white sheep, but I didn't expect her to be a black sheep... I have to say that the wound she left me is really painful, it seems that it is wrong to underestimate the lamb too much, if you want me to say, she is much more interesting than your little birds."

Batman's breath stopped for a few seconds, and then he snapped the Joker's arm and kicked his leg bone.

Rao was a clown, he couldn't help screaming after being tortured suddenly, but after screaming, he twitched from the severe pain while laughing intermittently.

"It seems that you care more about that lamb than I thought, okay, okay, if you keep teasing me, I will probably be killed by you—"

The clown paused for a few seconds, pretending to be mysterious, before continuing.

"I'll tell you where she is."

He reported a list of locations.

But before Batman turned to leave, the Joker called him again, and the devil, whose face was messed up with sweat, turned around and smiled scarlet at him.

"But how do you choose? Your city and the woman you love."

At this moment, Batman suddenly understood the Joker's sinister intentions.

"What do you want to do to Gotham?"

He turned his head abruptly and stared at the laughing monster on the ground.

The clown finally had enough of laughing, and he squinted his eyes to look at him, laughing almost to the point of tears.

"Oh, my dear bat."

He laughed and said with a big laugh.

"Everyone in Arkham can't wait to send you a Christmas gift - thank you for your daily 'contribution' to Gotham."

Outside the Gotham Police Department.

There was a sudden explosion!

The author has something to say:

Not pregnant, the heroine is just very pure and mentally exhausted.

What is going on in such a romantic theme of fan-humanities!Besides, Batman is about to have ten kids!

In this chapter, the scene where the clown fled through the sky sitting on the Christmas rocket tree was from the TAS animation, and I was dumbfounded at the time.

After watching movies, comics, and game animations, I analyzed them. Regarding the image of clowns, there are mainly the following:

1. Serial killer:

Gu Zaoman initially positioned him as a serial murderer, and even gave him a signature clown gas (laughing gas) and a weird smile on the face of the deceased.Much like the calling card of a serial killer.A guy who kills for fun.

In the later period, as the manga progressed, he did more and more things.But there is one thing to say, when he killed Jason in the death of the family, he didn't think about doing any experiments on human nature or philosophical thinking. It just happened that when Jason fell into his hands, he just Killed, he didn't even go there on purpose to kill Jason, it just happened to happen that Jason was unlucky to run into someone when he was doing something bad (poisoning medical supplies for mass murder).

Later, this plot was changed in the animation under the red hood to him and Lars setting up Batman together, but Lars didn't expect that he would really kill Jason.In the animation, Lars took Jason to the pool in order to make up for Batman and make up for this mistake (in the comics, Talia did it without telling Lars in order to restore the resurrected Jason to his sanity).

And adding meaning to the clown's random killing is in the comic "Deadly Joke", he shot Batgirl Barbara, broke her spine and brought someone in to take her naked picture, and then shot Director Gordon Take him to the amusement park, strip him naked, let a group of people make fun of him, and force him into a roller coaster in a tunnel. criminal.The so-called "Anyone can become a bad person as long as they have experienced the worst day."

By the way, Barbara's Batgirl manga got two patches later.

One, the person who suggested the clown to beat Barbara was her younger brother, James Jr., Gordon's son, an antisocial personality who has been perverted since he was a child.

Two, Barbara was saved because after the clown left, his subordinates secretly went to the police. Yes, it was the one who took the photo. He called the police and an ambulance and asked them to send Barbara to the hospital because the clown did nothing. What happened was too much, and his subordinates couldn't stand it.

2. Tom and Jerry, comedian settings:

In TAS and Lego Batman animation, Batman and Joker are cat and mouse. In these two animations, you have never seen the clown succeed in doing bad things.And the painting of TAS Batman and the clown April Fool's Day chase in the factory is really... Especially the cat and mouse, Bruce is a big cat, which is very interesting. If you are interested, you can look for it yourself.Ah B has animation.

Forget about the Lego part, God damn Batman and the Joker are US, there is Tom and Jerry, Tom and Jerry are friends, I laughed so hard.

3. Terrorists:

This is the position in Nolan's Batman trilogy. He said in the interview behind the movie that because of 911, the American people at that time were very afraid of terrorists, so he set the clown as He killed an anarchist terrorist, and his clown acted in many ways, such as shooting celebrities, threatening the masses, and destroying landmarks...all typical horrors .sub-sub-behavior.

This image has also been extended to the comic "Gotham Serious Cases", but the clown's behavior in this comic is mainly to toss Batman. He even made super ugly comic face emoticons for Batman and Robin!Accompanied by super lame bad jokes!He is sick!

4. Evil God:

This is a development since N52, and I think it's all fucking over.What is the Dionysus factor? Jason Todd's life has been manipulated by the clown, including his father's arrest, his mother's death from drug addiction, his encounter with Batman, and his death... just Nima nonsense, it's super outrageous .

I hate Dionysus factor so much that I will never use it!What is the meaning of the role of the clown if it is not a human being? ! !

5. Joaquin Phoenix's version of Arthur:

This version definitely deserves a separate article.

Movies are good movies.The actors also did a great job.The directing skills are also great.It's a decent work of art.It fully tells how a marginalized person at the bottom of society transformed into a "clown" little by little.It is indeed worthy of various awards.

But it's really not DC's Joker.

I didn't know for a while that "Batman and the Joker are half-brothers" and "The Joker has become a cultural symbol of the anarchy. Which is more funny.

It is obviously a tragic literary film, but as long as I think of the above two points, I can't help but laugh like a clown. I laughed for an hour and a half after watching the movie and didn't stop.

JOKER THIS IS THE BEST JOKE YOU EVER SAID

DC, this is the best job you did last year

The Injustice screenwriter's press conference can't be compared with the chair on the spot. It is worthy of you, DC, and it is worthy of you, Warner.

PS: The clown in this article is a deadly joke, Gotham Crime Unit, Arkham Trilogy and the movie version.So, the force value is high, the IQ is high, the fucking chaos, the fucking bad, and the fucking difficult.
