Chapter 1666: No Time to Die (29)
Facts have proved that the classic allusion of "the wolf is coming" can be passed down for so many years and endure, which naturally has its own uniqueness.
In the years that Batman has been battling the Joker, he knows too much about the Joker's behavior patterns and the methods of arranging intrigues.
There are many fans of DC Comics who find it difficult to understand why Batman is so powerful, why did he find out that the Joker was doing something at the last minute when the Joker asked him to make a multiple-choice question about human nature? Shouldn't it have been the first time he found out about the hostage-taking?
The first reason is that Batman is like an emperor in the feudal imperial system, with seventy-two concubines in three palaces, six courtyards, and countless villains in Gotham taking turns to make trouble, and he is not the only one who favors the Joker.
When the Joker is secretly poking and poking trouble, some villains have already brought those brutal crime scenes to the table, and Batman must have chosen to give priority to stopping the most harmful.
The second reason is that before the Joker decides to prepare a feast, he must come up with some appetizers to attract Batman's attention, or explain the secret set.
No matter which set Batman goes to investigate, the Joker can make another set into a big meal and serve it to Batman at a later time, on the surface, Batman is chasing after the Joker's ass or can't stop the conspiracy in advance, but in fact, he may have solved more than a dozen conspiracies on the way to the chase.
Batman had been through this too many times, so of course he would think that the Joker must have made another two-pronged problem to get his mindset this time.
According to Batman's analysis, the Joker's conspiracy seems to be the victim of Spider-Man, after all, the Joker injected the dark source potion condensed by Gotham's rain into his body not long after Spider-Man's appearance, wanting to see him blacken, and then turned against Batman.
But in fact, this is just a temporary plan of the Joker, and the trap he has laid a long time ago is aimed at the group of Robins who often appear in Gotham.
In this matter alone, Batman has no other possibilities to consider, after all, what reason and motivation do the people of the Bat family have to make a big bomb and come back to destroy Gotham?
What's the point? How could they have changed their temperament in such a short period of time? Whoever thinks about it, this possibility is extremely low, about the same as none.
This is going to talk about Batman's stereotype of the universe where Schiller is located, or it can't be said to be a stereotype, so many universes and so many Gotham, which Gotham is different, even if it is a Gotham of a different universe, how bad can it be?
Since they are all the same, the birds are equivalent to going on a trip, and because the universe where Schiller is located has better sunshine, they should be more cheerful and lively when they come back, how can they suddenly think of destroying the world?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
But most of the coincidences in this world are unreasonable, Robin just went crazy suddenly, and the madness happened to fit the Joker's behavior pattern, Batman could logically put this black pot on the Joker's head, and because the Joker never thought that he might have a day when Dou E was wronged, he didn't leave himself a little room for whitewashing, and he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
He is like a child in the story of the wolf, he shouted too many times, not only did Batman not believe it, but none of the villains in Gotham City from top to bottom believed him, because it was not the first time that the Joker pit villains used them as gunmen.
The Riddler, Penguin, Clayface, Hugo, and Black Mask all smiled coldly and ignored the clown when they heard the voice of the clown shouting wolf, and the corrupt officials, gangsters, wealthy businessmen, and police turned him away when they saw him, and simply disappeared.
In the end, the one who sincerely believes in this "wolf is coming" has to be Spider-Man.
"What? Mr. Clown, you said that a villain made a big nuclear bomb and wanted to blow up the city, why didn't you tell me earlier?! ”
Spider-Man anxiously grabbed the Joker's sleeve, glared and said, the Joker's eyes rolled slightly, and he immediately turned to respond to Spider-Man and said, "Listen, your name is Spider-Man, right?" I have to tell you that Batman is also human, he is not omniscient, so if he tells you that it is okay, it is not necessarily really okay......"
"Of course, I don't think he's a god who knows everything, and he must have something he didn't expect."
Instead, the Joker was stunned, and it was the first time he had seen Robin, who didn't worship Batman as a god.
"So, tell me what's going on, and the two of us can join forces to take precautions in case some super-criminal actually blows up the city!"
Listening to Spider-Man's tone, the Joker thought for a moment, he looked at Spider-Man and said, "You seem to be very experienced in this?" ”
Spider-Man opened his mouth and closed it again, and finally said a little helplessly: "You may not believe it, in the past few years, I have been on the road to save the world, and the city I am in has been blown up I don't know how many times." ”
"Then I think we have something in common." The clown immediately behaved like a philosopher, but instead of describing himself as a good man, he said quite sincerely: "In the old days, I was indeed a criminal, I went to the police station and turned myself in, and confessed to all my crimes, and you heard that, right?" ”
Spider-Man nodded, affirming his statement, and the Joker continued, "You must feel strange, why did I confess my guilt and escape from prison again?" But I'd say if it's for myself, it's not good at all. ”
"Although I am a mentally ill person and will end up in a psychiatric hospital, this kind of behavior of escaping from prison in the interrogation room will definitely make the nurse increase my medication, which is not a good thing for me."
Spider-Man nodded in agreement, what the Joker said was indeed the truth, at least from Spider-Man's point of view, there was no flaw, because he really didn't fight with the Joker like Batman for many years, and he knew his path very well.
In Spider-Man's opinion, if the Joker doesn't want to go to prison, then he doesn't need to turn himself in and confess his guilt, but since he has pleaded guilty and escaped from prison, isn't he confessing in vain?
"I escaped from prison because there is something else hidden, there are some things that only I can stop, and Batman is only on the sidelines, and has no reaction to the immediate crisis, man, this is really not me to smear him."
The clown deliberately adjusted his tone to make his words and tone appear more youthful, fully demonstrating his ability to talk to people and talk nonsense.
Sure enough, Spider-Man was aroused, he made a gesture of listening attentively, and the Joker didn't whet his appetite, but said: "Like I said before, there is a group of people who want to restore the gangster rules here, and they got a big bomb produced by the former Soviet Union, which is a nuclear warhead with a super high yield, and it is very likely that they have modified this warhead, you should know how dangerous this is, right?" ”
Spider-Man's eyes widened when he heard the word "transformation", he looked at the Joker and said, "Transform nuclear warheads, how did they transform them?" Can they still have a production line? ”
"That's the problem, it's a whole bunch of crazy teenagers who learned a little bit from Batman, oh, I'm not saying it's Batman's fault, maybe Batman doesn't know how reckless they are, but you should know how crazy and extreme your peers are."
Spider-Man showed a hesitant expression, and the Joker immediately picked up: "To be sure, they don't have the professional skills at all, and they don't have the conditions to modify this thing, but they just did it boldly, so that bomb doesn't know when it will explode." ”
"Listen, Spider-Man, I'm not for Gotham, I'm not for justice, I'm for my own life, I don't want to be suddenly bombed by a nuclear bomb while watching TV in a mental hospital."
This remark is very in line with the Joker's personality, if he says something to save Gotham or justice, Spider-Man will definitely be able to hear it, but when he says this, Spider-Man is a little unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
After all, in Spider-Man's opinion, who wouldn't want to be alive? Even the most vicious criminals have the possibility of saving their lives, and the logic of Joker's behavior makes sense.
"As much as I'd love to have you killed, it's clear that you can't stop the explosion of a nuclear bomb alone, and I don't want you to do any complicated work, you have to find a way to find out where they hid that nuclear bomb." The Joker looked into Spider-Man's eyes and said seriously.
"If that's the case, then I'm ......"
"I mean, let's both find it together."
"But I'm ...... alone"
"No kidding, man." The clown grinned deliberately, gave a slightly sinister smile and said, "The consequences of them getting the bomb are the same as you getting the bomb, how do I know if you won't want to press the button, I don't trust anyone, I have to make sure this thing doesn't harm me personally!" ”
A typical selfish villain's face, even the smiling and eyebrow raising movements are impeccable, so Spider-Man naturally didn't see anything wrong, he stood there and hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, in some extreme case, I will cooperate with the super criminal, but after this is over, I will still arrest you and take you to the police station, you better not have any luck." ”
"We'll talk about it then." The Joker has a confused expression of "I'm going to be disobedient when the time comes", but the logic of all his performances is smooth, and the character design is also consistent from the beginning, showing the image of a criminal who has to stop a bigger disaster in order to save his life, Spider-Man doesn't know the Joker that well, so he thinks it's okay.
In this way, the Joker fooled Spider-Man into going with him to find the big bomb, on the one hand, to solve the looming Gotham peace crisis, and on the other hand, he needed a witness to prove that the madness of Robin this time was not his fault.
But soon, the Joker discovers that Spider-Man uses a brute-force approach to finding everything in Gotham.
There is no subtle reasoning, no rigorous logic, and even no speculation to catch the wind and shadows, it is completely powerful, and he can always find what he wants by checking the past street by street.
If it were an ordinary person, this method might be too time-consuming and not suitable for this kind of imminent bomb explosion, but who is Spider-Man, his day can be used for 48 hours, and it's over.
In the end, the Joker couldn't stand it first, to put it bluntly, he and Batman are the same kind of people, everything can rely on the brain and never rely on physical strength, and can anticipate things like a god and never charge into battle.
But Spider-Man who came here is still a street hero, and he usually doesn't see how he uses his brain, and the dark source potion injected by the Joker into him further strengthens the paranoid aspect of his personality.
The Joker told him that there must be no street in a certain street, and Spider-Man didn't believe it, and he had to go through it himself, according to him, a wise man must have a thousand thoughts, and if you make a mistake, won't Gotham have to be destroyed? What better way to do it than for me to do it myself?
And the good neighbor Spider-Man's nosy ability is simply at the level of rules, search a street, and see the bicycle upside down, right? If you see someone lifting heavy loads, you have to help carry them, right? Watching the drain drip has to be repaired, right?
It's not that the clown didn't persuade him, and he should grasp the main contradiction first when the catastrophe comes, but the answer he gets is always "Don't worry, I can't delay it for long if I move quickly." ”
In fact, it didn't take long to delay, but if it goes on like this, the construction of Gotham civilization is really thriving.
When the time comes, the Gotham Good Neighbor Award will be awarded to Spider-Man, and the Joker who brushes his face behind Spider-Man will also have to come to the stage to accept the award.
What's even scarier is that the person presenting the award has to fuck Bruce Wayne.
