Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Struggle of Ideas
Bruce has been having a terrible time these days, with the massacres of criminals on the streets of Gotham and the rebellious son creating a series of headaches that would have been exhausted and emotionally broken if it weren't for his nervous tenacity. m.
He could bear these blows, but hearing the news that his old friend Gordon had turned against him made it difficult for him to accept it for a while, and he was stunned on the spot.
"Even after suffering the clown's inhuman torture, he did not lose his mind, and still demanded that I bring the clown to justice instead of killing him privately." Bruce muttered distractedly, "Why, why would he support the murder of criminals that you single-handedly facilitated!" ”
"Maybe it's because police officers have the right to shoot criminals who violently resist the law, and this rule is reasonable and legal?"
Bredrow said calmly: "As the chief of police, he knows best how many police officers will die on the job if they are forbidden to shoot and kill the rioters who shoot at them." Once such a ban is issued, the next day there will be a general strike of police across the United States, because that would be tantamount to sending law enforcers to target criminals. ”
"Or maybe ......"
As he spoke, Bredrow's expression became gloomy, revealing the evil side of human nature: "He is not as noble as you, between principles and relatives, he will not hesitate to choose to stick to principles, and indifferently watch his poor daughter being tortured in a wheelchair." You may be a close friend whom he admires very much, well, or the kind that has been to his daughter, but Barbara is his daughter after all, and you refuse to be his son-in-law to give his daughter lifelong happiness, and he, a hard-working old father, can only fight for his daughter himself. ”
Bruce was shocked, he didn't know where his son dug up his scandalous history, and even said it to mock him.
Two years ago, after Dick left Batman as Nightwing, Barbara briefly served as a Batgirl for a while before being shot in the spine by the Joker, acting alongside Batman.
During this period, the two fell in love for a long time, and finally fought a field battle under a can't help but develop a super friendly relationship.
For a variety of reasons, Bruce came to pull out the ruthless sword to cut the love thread, and failed Barbara's tenderness, and the two broke up peacefully, and Barbara chose to quit the bat family and no longer act with him.
Poor Barbara has just come out of love when the Joker, who seeks revenge on Batman, breaks in the spine and breaks her spine, paralyzing the lower half of her body.
The Joker does this in order to lure the bat out of the hole by hurting Batman's relatives and friends by angering him, leading him into a preset trap and playing a "deadly joke" with Batman.
The ending of this incident is the same as before, even though his old friend Gordon was almost abused by the Joker, and Barbara, the daughter of an old friend who had a dewy marriage, was beaten to a cripple, Batman still forgave the Joker with his principles, sent him to Arkham Asylum for recuperation, and sincerely offered that he was willing to help the Joker heal so that he could reform and return to society.
Barbara, crippled, was strong, without any resentment, and regained her spirits. With the help of Batman, he became an otaku "oracle", using computer network technology to provide information support to superheroes. Of course, the relationship between her and Batman ended there, and there was no follow-up.
"Mr. Wayne, as the same scumbag, I'm not qualified to judge your behavior of finding me a little mom and giving up all the time, but please at least be realistic and mature, as a big entrepreneur, you should understand politics and not be so idealistic.
The police are not the embodiment of justice and moral models, the essence of the Gotham Police Department is a state violence agency, its fundamental role is to maintain class rule and national order, and it does not have any feelings and political tendencies, let alone pity for the most vicious criminals. ”
Instead, Damian educated Bruce like an elder: "Respect for law enforcers is common sense for citizens of every country, and if you violate this common sense, you will pay a terrible price." Instead of accusing the super SWAT of being ruthless, it is better to persuade the criminals to be afraid, and the next time they see the police, don't raise their guns, and immediately kneel and surrender to save their lives, which is good for them and others. ”
Walking forward, Bredrow jumped up and patted Bruce on the shoulder: "Out of filial piety to my biological father, I gave the super soldiers an order not to take coercive measures against Batman, you don't have to worry about being inspected by the patrolling super soldiers when you walk at night." If you want to save the lives of those criminals, you should go out and talk to them more often at night, and pass on the news to them that there will be no more bat monsters playing cat and mouse games with them, and the government is starting to take it seriously, if you don't want to die, put down your gun and put your tail between your legs. ”
"You're trying to turn Gotham into a prison city, and the apparent peace maintained by harsh laws is not really peace! Gotham is just the beginning, and your ultimate goal is to transform the Nation of Hope into your ideal police state! You have also reached the bottomless abyss, and unlike me who crawled out of it, you indulged in it and enjoyed the thrill of controlling the fate of the weak! ”
Bruce said hatefully, he had never been so angry with a person, even if it was a clown, and he had more pity for the madman who was driven crazy by fate, but the son in front of him really touched his backlash and tried to subvert the belief he had held all his life.
In the plot line of the Injustice Alliance, after Superman took power, he also sent armed special police to Gotham, and launched a blockade and curfew on the city, Gotham citizens seem to have an unusual pursuit of freedom, but they don't like to be a man with their tails between their legs, and they stay at home obediently during the curfew, and they must cause some trouble and offend the majesty of the law enforcers to show their free will to do whatever they want.
Superman's dispatch to such a sensitive area was misappointed, generally overly irritable and insane, and unprovoked violence against citizens who committed petty theft and violated curfew orders at night, which exacerbated the conflict and angered Batman, who decided to form a team to resist Superman's tyranny.
"Is it so hard to ask the citizens of Gotham, who have a simple folk style, not to shoot at the police? This kind of demand is a joke in the eyes of the truly simple Chinese people. ”
Bredero frowned and asked, "Even in the country of hope, public opinion is generally supportive. As evidenced by the law enforcement recorder carried by the super soldiers, any counterattack is on the premise that the criminals shoot first, and even many super soldiers only pull out their guns to fight back after being shot. What's even better is that almost all of the criminals who were shot and killed were white, so there was no issue of racial discrimination, and after the release of the law enforcement record video, the people of all hope countries thought that the criminals who were shot and killed were innocent, so why did you and the Gotham citizens you protect feel that the human rights of the criminals were violated and the freedom of the Gotham people to commit crimes was restricted? ”
The battle of ideologies will never come to a conclusion, and Bruce concludes that his ambitious son is lost in the pursuit of supreme power, and sooner or later he will step on countless corpses and be crowned as a great dictator who relies on supreme power to control the fate of all beings, and what is even more terrifying is that unlike many rectal villains, his methods are more concealed and deceptive, so that even in the face of confrontation, Bruce can't argue with his set of fallacies.
In a sense, Bradero is not a good bird in the first place, as Batman's keen intuition predicts, he is the man who wants to become the master of the earth!
However, even if Bruce is anxious, he is now eaten to death by this cunning rebel, and he can't think of a way to expose his mask and let the world recognize his ambitions, so as to bring him to justice and send him to Arkham for ideological reform.
There is no doubt that the blacklist of Bruce's sworn enemies has changed, the Joker has dropped one place, and his son has risen to the top. u
