Jonathan choked on again, his reality telling him that Batman was telling the truth, but that there was another set of imaginations in his head, which was his original plan.

The villains of Gotham all have a characteristic, especially a series of high-IQ criminals led by the Joker, Scarecrow, Two-Face, and Riddler, who are very good at creating a two-headed contradiction to make Batman break the defense.

To put it simply, it is a tram problem, choose one or two? Rich or poor? Male or female? Old or young?

Of course, there will be no right answer to this kind of question, no matter which one you choose, it will be wrong, or in other words, no matter which Batman chooses, these villains have their own set of crooked theories to point out Batman's mistakes.

That's why, many comic book readers will feel that Batman always seems to be a little powerless when facing this kind of multiple-choice question, and the way he deals with it is a bit rough, in fact, because Batman has long known that this is a trap from beginning to end, and it makes no sense to choose whichever one.

It's just a one-sided torture, not a showdown, and this time, Jonathan intends to do the same.

He knew that Batman would be able to find out that someone had poisoned Gotham's drinking water source, and with Batman's methods, his residence would be traced sooner or later, so Jonathan was waiting for him here, waiting to start this torture feast.

At the beginning, the disappearance case in the Mawson neighborhood made the fledgling Batman see the cruelty and inhumanity of this group of serial killers, and Jonathan knew that this must have left a deep impression on him, so his first step was to mobilize Batman's nerves and make him angry.

If it was the original Batman, after hearing Jonathan's proud and proud speech that he was not ashamed of, he would definitely feel angry, even if he wouldn't show it for the time being, anger would definitely gather in his heart.

Then, Jonathan will confide in the truth about Gotham Rain like Batman, whether Batman already knows this truth or not, Jonathan must emphasize it, because next is the beginning of the real show.

Because of the anger accumulated before, when Jonathan provoked Batman and asked him to arrest him, Batman had a high probability that he would do something to him, which is very consistent with Jonathan's psychological profile of Batman.

Even if it's not this little bat, but the scheming Batman, in the face of such an arrogant criminal, it is light to break a leg.

Jonathan was expecting Batman to beat him up, of course, he wasn't a Joker's masochist and didn't have any extraordinary resilience, at least for now, Scarecrow was really just an ordinary college professor without any superpowers.

And when Batman rushes up and beats him half to death, Jonathan will tell Batman the truth, that it is not a poison but an antidote, it is not destroying Gotham, but saving Gotham.

Perhaps psychologists have something in common, they are too good at exploiting the weakness of human feelings, and if Jonathan were to give him a nice name for this torture, he would say "guilt, it's a good knife."

The criminals and poisoners that Batman thinks are actually vigilantes and saviors like him, and there is no difference between the two of them, but in terms of results, Jonathan has done more effectively.

The Scarecrow is indeed a genius, and the hallucinogenic drug he has developed can not only fight the toxins in the rainwater in the human body, but even build permanent antibodies for most people.

As long as the toxins in the rain do not mutate, then after this incident of citizen madness, the vast majority of Gotham people will be immune to the toxins in the rain, and at the same time, this antibody will be written into the genes and passed on forever.

And if the other party changes the toxins in the rain, then the scarecrow can also use the same principle to develop a corresponding antidote, establish antibodies again, and then it will be the moment of infinite involution.

It is on this basis that Jonathan knows that if Batman seriously injures him, perhaps he will not necessarily feel guilty, after all, the citizens who became the test subjects are innocent, and Jonathan is indeed a murderer, and he deserves to be punished.

But Batman will definitely suffer

Torment, because in order to save Gotham, he must save Jonathan for the possible arrival of mutant toxins, that is, he must save his most hated criminal with his own hands, and he must save it as soon as possible, which can be called anxious.

A self-proclaimed savior finds himself unexpectedly no criminal doing more and doing better.

And for that illusory goal, Batman had to go with the criminals, and had to send the half-dead criminals he beat to the hospital and spend money to treat him, and it was because of his impulsiveness and recklessness.

Along the way, Batman's inner torment is the most beautiful music for Jonathan.

But things didn't go the way he imagined.

Batman seems to have suddenly changed from a tiger to a house cat, from entering the door to sitting down, to negotiating, he has not raised a single fist, and he is calmer than Jonathan.

Even, Jonathan sensed a formulaic coping strategy in him, as if he had rehearsed this scenario countless times, or that he had actually encountered it countless times.

Batman is skillful like an old farmer sitting in the field breaking buds, with a kind of self-confidence that repetitively performs work all year round, and remains in the body movements, and the dullness of facial expressions.

Jonathan even felt that some of Batman's speeches were like muscle memory, without any lag, without a thought process, and he blurted out directly, saying to Jonathan inside and outside the words, hurry up and move on to the next link, which is more urgent than the host who urges the process at the wedding.

Jonathan didn't understand what was going on at all, the stage and lines he carefully prepared, and the superb acting skills he had practiced in advance didn't come in handy, and Batman told him with all his movements and eyes that he was tired of watching this scene for a long time.

In fact, Jonathan's level of performance is stable, and this performance can be called a relatively distinctive and perfectly executed villain among Gotham's high-IQ villains.

First of all, he took advantage of his profession, and he used his expertise as a chemist to create a chronic toxin that was put into Gotham's water sources, and allowed the citizens of Gotham to accumulate enough medicinal properties from years of drinking.

After a short burst of outbursts, he made a draw with the toxins in the rain, creating a mess that often appears at the climax of the comics, and then luring Batman to his residence for a deep dialogue that often appears at the end of the comics.

If nothing else, the next scene should be, Batman standing on the roof of the building, looking at the ambulance in the distance, the last scene is frozen on Batman's face, there seems to be pain between his eyebrows, and his eyes reveal deep thought, a comic, just like that.

But if nothing else, it must have been an accident, Schiller has caused Batman to have too many accidents, although it has caused him to have an accident himself now, but it has also affected Jonathan, causing him to have an even bigger accident.

Jonathan's design ideas are good, and his level is stable, if I have to say what he did wrong, it is that the charging bar is too long, and he came a little late.

Schiller the Joker and Jack the Clown, a pair of Crouching Dragons and Phoenix Chicks, have had a four-year mixed doubles against Batman, coupled with the personal vendetta that the arrogant Schiller did not mix with a little teaching, Batman has been in hell for four years.

Even Batman, who is in his forties in the later stages, will only deal with multiple clowns for a period of time at most, and most of the time, he will only play with one clown.

But the Batman of this world is different, at the same time, there are at least two Jokers, and these two Clowns not only get along harmoniously, but also cooperate, not only can they cooperate, but also complement each other's abilities.

Schiller the Joker is good at hiding behind the scenes, planning a big event, and then leaving a gap for Jack the Clown to play on stage, Jack the Joker is good at playing frontal, bringing Batman one wonderful performance after another.

And the arrogant Schiller, who can always help the field on the side, before the event starts, scold Batman, during the incident, take the time to scold Batman for a while, the incident is over, and then scold Batman for a while, and in the interval between events and events, you have to chase bats

Xia asked for a paper, but Batman didn't hand it in, so he scolded Batman again.

So much so, to this day, Batman still feels that Schiller the Joker and Jack the Joker are working together just to make him unable to hand in his papers.

Therefore, even now, even if Batman has not experienced the baptism of iron and blood in hell and exercised a cold and decisive military temperament, Jonathan's scene is really difficult to satisfy him.

Once the sea was difficult to water, Jonathan was not even Huan Huan, because Chunyuan was not only alive, but also living more and more.

Looking at Jonathan, who was taking care of himself, Batman seemed to have lost his patience, and he said directly:

"A lot of people say I'm a psycho, you say that, Schiller says that, Jack says that."

"I took my prescription yesterday and went to Arkham Psychiatric Hospital to get the medicine, which is the medication for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms, you should know what it is."

"After taking the medication, I felt much better, and then I realized that you are more abnormal than I am, you are like this, Schiller is like this, and Jack is like this."

"You've always paid too much attention to me, as if my reaction could determine the direction of your life."

"The reason why you didn't repent and didn't feel guilty when I took you to prison is because I took you in."

"Because it proves that I'm paying attention to you, I'm projecting a lot of attention on you, and you're ecstatic about it, and that excitement masks anger, frustration, and guilt, and that makes it a reward."

Batman shook his head and said, "Although it may be a little late, I still recommend that you take the medicine, I tried it, and it worked well, at least it relieved my hypernervous insomnia."

Jonathan froze completely, his eyes widened, his body hunched over, staring straight at Batman.

Batman, on the other hand, looked at him with those blue eyes and said, "If what you say is true, the hallucinogens you put in can remove the toxins from the rain, then you have done a good thing."

Jonathan reacted suddenly, and in just a few seconds, his eyes were filled with tears, he looked at Batman, stretched out his hand and grabbed his neck, and shouted as he stepped back, "No! No! Shut up! Shut up !!"

But Batman said to himself, "The citizens of Gotham can't thank you now, but I'm also a member of the Gotham, so ...... Thank you."

Ten minutes later, Gordon, who rushed in, only saw Jonathan who had fainted on the ground, he looked at Batman in surprise, and then said, "You are really getting more and more proficient in your skills of knocking people unconscious, there is not even a trace of a fight here, and there are no scars on his head and neck, you are very skilled, Batman."

"I didn't knock him unconscious, he should be in a nervous coma." Batman was still standing in place, watching Jonathan fall to the ground, he pursed his lips, and then said to himself:

"Besides, I seem to know why Schiller can't wake up."
