Chapter 597: The Last Smile

On the top floor of the Prevet Building.

The Joker presses on Batman, waiting for the long-awaited fireworks.

Unfortunately, the river was extremely quiet, and there was no sign of an explosion on the two ferries.

He licked his lips and the scars on his face in disappointment, like a child who had lost his candy, looking at the two ferries in the river aggrievedly.

Batman breathed a long sigh of relief and said coldly to the Joker: "What do you want to prove? Is everyone as ugly as you are deep down? It's a pity that you miscalculated, you are the loneliest person!"

The clown looked at the two ferries, his cold eyes were enough to freeze everything in the world, he looked into the distance, and muttered to himself: "In this world now, no one can rely on it, and everything has to come by itself, doesn't it? It doesn't matter, I have two hands to prepare!"

With that, the Joker took out an infinity detonator and turned on the cutout on it.

He said helplessly to Batman: "This world is so hypocritical, speaking of hypocrisy, do you know where these scars on my face come from?"

Batman replied coldly, "I don't know, but I know you're going to have a few more scars on your face soon!"

With that, Batman took advantage of the Joker's attempt to press the detonator, opened the mechanism on his forearm armor, and ejected three darts towards the Joker's head.

The Joker subconsciously dodged, and was directly overturned by Batman out of the window, falling from a dozen stories high.

He had no fear, laughed uncontrollably, and threw downstairs as if being killed by Batman was the greatest achievement and most satisfying thing in his life.

The Joker's crazy and hearty laughter echoes in the night sky of Gotham City.

Batman didn't let his wish come true, and directly tied the Joker in the air with his own catapult rope, and didn't let him fall into a meatloaf.

Soon, Batman pulled the Joker up with a rope, and he was speechless for a long time looking at the madman hanging upside down in front of him.

The clown was still hanging with a happy smile on his face, and he was very satisfied with everything except that he didn't die just now.

The Joker looked at Batman in front of him, as if he were looking at his lover, and said to him in an extremely fanatical tone:

"Oh, you, you, you, you just can't let me die, right?

That's the way it is, no matter what I do, you won't waver! You're the kind of person who never falls, you don't sink, right?

Well?

So, you're not going to kill me... It's because you have a self-righteous sense of justice!

And I'm not going to kill you... Because you're so much fun!

I guess the two of us are destined to fight each other like this for the rest of our lives!"

Batman didn't eat him at all, and said angrily: "You will be locked up in a mental hospital for the rest of your life!"

The clown didn't care about his attitude, brushed his upside-down green hair, and complained, "Then we can live in the same house." You see, there are more and more lunatics in this city... There will be a day when two madmen will share a room!"

Batman retorted, "This city has just shown you that there are countless people here who believe in light. ”

The clown waved his arms and smiled confidently, "But when their spiritual pillars crumble, there will be no one with a heart for the light." When they see Harvey Dent for themselves, and his "heroic deeds", they will be completely devastated.

You don't think I'm going to put my fight for the "soul of Gotham City" on punching and kicking you, do you?

How can it be?

Everybody needs a trump card, and my trump card is Harvey!"

Batman angrily asked, "What did you do to him?"

Like an artist who has completed a work of art, the Joker says in a very smug tone: "I put Gotham City high above the Knight of Light... Reduced to the level of the two of us freaks. It's the kind of level that is unseemly. It's not difficult at all, as everyone knows, "madness" is like gravity, just a gentle push of it, and people will make up their own madness. ”

After saying that, the Joker's incomparably presumptuous, poignant laughter resounded throughout Gotham City again.

He was so proud, because he knew that Harvey had to become a "two-faced man", and even if he was caught, Gotham City would still fall into madness and chaos.

He's still the winner!

Hearing this, Batman quickly disappeared into the darkness, handing over the clown hanging upside down in mid-air to the SWAT who had just arrived to deal with it.

……

250 Fifty-second Street, in the building where Rachel was killed.

What was once a warehouse is now only a ruined wall.

Harvey, the "two-faced man", put a gun to Gordon's wife Barbara, and in Barbara's arms, there were also Gordon's two children.

Gordon walked into the ruins and saw his wife and children on the rooftop, as well as Harvey behind them.

"Harvey, I'm coming!" said Gordon, with guilt and concern.

Harvey looked at him coldly, suddenly rushed up and smashed him to the ground with a fist.

"Gordon, it was your people who took Rachel and handed her over to the gangsters, who brought her here and blew her up here. Harvey said to Harvey with a tone of despair and anger.

Harvey regretted: "I know, I was here at the time. I tried to save her, but I failed!"

Harvey said angrily, "No, you could have saved her. If you had listened to me earlier, if you could have stood up and cleaned up the corrupt police officer instead of going to that devil to cooperate, you would have saved her!"

Gordon lay on the ground and loudly defended, "I want to fight the gangsters first!"

Harvey replied angrily, "If you knew what I had lost, you would never dare to justify your crimes." ”

Speaking of this, Harvey walked up to Gordon's family and said coldly as he walked: "When you know that the person you love the most is going to die, will you tell her that it will be okay and that everything is fine? If not, then you will feel it immediately, Gordon." Then, you can stare me in the eye and tell me you're "sorry!"

With that, Harvey pointed his gun at Gordon's wife.

Gordon said in horror, "You can't hurt my family!"

Harvey sneered, "Of course not, I will only kill the one you love the most." ”

He then put a gun to Barbara's temple and asked, "Do you love your wife the most?"

Barbara trembled with fear.

Harvey pointed the gun at Gordon's son again.

Gordon screamed in despair, "Put the gun down, Harvey, Harvey, put the gun down!" I beg you, Harvey, please! Enough, fuck! Can you not point a gun at my whole family?"

Harvey sneered: "It seems that you love your son more, someone has chosen someone now!"

With that, Harvey pulled Gordon's youngest son to the side and put the muzzle of the gun on the little boy's head.

Barbara shouted in fright, "Don't, Gordon, stop him!"

Gordon roared, "Harvey, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, please don't hurt my son!"

At this moment, the barking of countless police dogs and the sound of sirens suddenly came from outside the building.

Harvey looked at Gordon and asked, "You brought your men here?"

Gordon explained: "They just know there's a situation here. But they didn't know you existed, they just laid out a line of defense outside to keep people from going out. ”

Harvey laughed bitterly, "Do you think I want to run away?

With that, Harvey turned his gun on Gordon's son.

Just as Harvey was about to toss a coin, a dark figure suddenly appeared across from him.

Batman's deep voice came: "You can't really hurt a little boy, Harvey!"

Harvey looked at Batman and roared angrily: "It doesn't matter if I want to or not, what I care about is fairness or not!"

You always think that we can be heroes in troubled times? You are wrong! This world is cruel, a cruel world, the only morality... It's luck! No favoritism, no prejudice, always fair! His son, like Rachel, has a chance to survive, half to half. ”

Batman angrily retorted, "Rachel's death is not because of chance, we risk going to save her, the three of us together!"

Harvey asked in despair, "Then why am I the only one who loses everything in the end?"

Batman wanted to say "I lost Rachel too", but he couldn't really say it, and finally could only whisper: "It's not just you who lost everything!"

Harvey said frantically: "The clown ended up hurting me!"

Batman replied, "Because you are the most righteous among us, he just wants to prove that even a righteous hero like you can fall!"

With a hint of guilt, Harvey said in despair: "It turns out that he is right!"

Batman advised, "You're the only one with a gun, Harvey!

Harvey sneered, "That's fair!

With that, he tossed the coin, this time with the back side up.

The next moment, Harvey shot Batman in the stomach, and Batman fell in response, as if he had completely lost his breath.

Then, Harvey said coldly: "It's my turn!"

He aimed the muzzle of the gun at his head, then tossed the coin again, this time face up, and removed the muzzle from his own head and pointed it at Gordon's son.

Gordon pleaded, "Harvey, you're right, I'm at fault for Rachel's death! Please don't let my child take the blame! If you want to punish, punish me!"

Harvey said indifferently: "You will be punished immediately!"

With that, Harvey pressed the firing pin of the revolver down, leaving the pistol in a state ready to fire at any time.

He looked at Gordon and said, with the last shred of humanity, "Tell your son that he'll be fine, lie and lie!"

Gordon looked at his son in tears, trembling and said, "Child, it's going to be fine!"

Then, Harvey tossed the coin in his hand, and just as he was about to take the coin, Batman, who just seemed to be dead, suddenly pounced and rushed out of the floor with Harvey and the boy in his arms.

Harvey fell straight from the roof.

Batman gripped Gordon's son with one hand, and struggled with the other onto the exposed steel bars of the cracked floor.

Gordon hurriedly ran over, and now pulled his son up, and before he could pull Batman, Batman fell because he couldn't hold his body.

He managed to fall from the top of a 4 or 5-storey building to the ground.

Gordon immediately ran down from it, gently picked up his head, and checked on him.

Fortunately, with the protection of the armor on his body, although Batman was injured, he still slowly got up.

Gordon looked at him and said gratefully, "Thank you!"

Batman replied, "You don't have to thank me!"

Gordon sighed, "I should thank you!"

He looked at Harvey, who had fallen to his death, and said in despair: "The clown still won." Harvey's painstaking fight against crime, and everything he fought for, is now gone.

Our chances to restore order and justice in the city will also be lost with Harvey's disgrace. We put all our hopes in Him. The clown has twisted a good guy into a villain! People will lose all hope!"

Batman argued, "They won't lose hope! they'll never know what he's done!"

Gordon said angrily: "He killed five people, and two of them were policemen, this kind of thing can't be hidden!"

Batman gasped and said, "I really can't hide it. But the clown can't be allowed to succeed. ”

He walked up to Harvey and gently revealed the normal half of his face.

Batman muttered, "Gotham City needs real heroes!"

Gordon had already guessed what he wanted to do, and stopped: "No, it can't be like this!"

Batman ignored it and continued, "Either you die to become a hero, or you live to see yourself become a demon!" Because I'm not like Harvey, I'm not a hero. I killed those people, and I always have been in the hearts of the citizens anyway. ”

Gordon loudly refused: "No, absolutely not, you didn't do this!"

Batman looked at Gordon and said with the last of his strength, "For the sake of Gotham City, I can be any kind of person." Call the police to chase you!"

Gordon looked at Batman, and finally with a bitter and sad face, he called the police outside the ruins.

……

At Harvey's memorial service, Gordon reads the eulogy from the podium.

"He's a hero, maybe we don't deserve it, but we do need it. He is like a knight in shining armor, and his spirit will always guard the city......"

As Gordon read the eulogy, he thought about the last conversation he had ever had with Batman.

"You will hunt me down, condemn me, let the dogs chase me, because that's what has to be done.

Because!

Sometimes, the truth isn't too good;

Sometimes, people are entitled to more good things;

Sometimes, people's faith has to be rewarded!"

Gordon also remembered his son's question: "Dad, why did Batman run away?"

Gordon sadly explained, "Because we had to arrest him!"

The son wondered, "But he didn't do anything wrong?!"

Gordon looked at Batman's back and muttered in a voice that only he could hear:

"Because Gotham City should have heroes like him, but now people don't need him. So we have to hunt him down, because only he can withstand all this, because he is not the kind of bright and majestic hero in the popular mind. He is the silent guardian of the city in the dark night, the guardian of the city who is always vigilant.

He's a knight in the night!"

……

In the Gotham City Psychiatric Hospital.

When the Joker heard the news of Batman's murder, he coldly showed a mysterious smile!

Just as there is always light and justice in this world, the chaos and darkness represented by the clown will never go away!
