Chapter 486 486 The clown who doesn’t laugh
“Ha~ha~”
The clown’s smile began to shrink the moment he laughed, until the sound fell completely, he The smile also disappeared.
The face was only pale and serious, and Batman could no longer see any trace of the Joker from this face.
Batman looked at the Joker, his muscles tense.
He had never seen the guy in front of him show such a serious expression, a clown who couldn't laugh?
This means strangeness!
Why does Batman feel strange to the Joker?
Chaos arose in Batman's heart, and chaos also brought fear!
Is the Joker powerful enough to crush him?
Could the Joker have already implemented some conspiracy, and everything dangerous is happening under his nose?
Is the clown planning to play another game, just like that line in the movie? I want to play a game with you?
A series of questions kept arising from Batman's heart, and the sense of confusion made his brain a little hot!
"Batman, how long can you stay true to yourself?"
If the clowns in the past saw Batman like this, they would definitely have a good laugh.
But the tone he spoke at this time was like a serious dean of students, and the cruelty in his eyes had been replaced by a sense of responsibility.
There is nothing clownlike about this look!
It’s not funny at all!
Not even fatal at all!
With such seriousness, Batman even suspected that everything he met today was an illusion, a dream!
But the courage and anger that grew along with panic and fear reminded him that he was no longer that ordinary person.
Even though he still retains the pure and noble heart of an "ordinary person"!
Although his status as the owner of Wayne Group has made him extraordinary, his position has never changed!
"I can hold on until the day you all die!"
Batman was a little nervous, feeling as if everything about him had been seen through by the guy in front of him.
That look made Batman feel uneasy for a long time!
There seemed to be sparks flashing in his eyes under the mask, but it was too deep for him to see, and the clown acted as if nothing happened!
"Are you afraid? Honestly, when have you ever felt fearless?"
The Joker took a few steps forward and faced Batman, who was taller and stronger than him. Face to face.
The Joker wants to know why Batman thinks other people are crazy?
As he often says, he thinks a guy who stays up all night wearing a bat suit and fights around is a psychopath!
At least such people are not normal!
A serious clown?
"Who are you?"
Batman's heart began to beat wildly and unsatisfactorily. He felt from the clown what he had felt from the gate of the Holy Mountain. , similar to the aura of Azmodan!
Isn’t that a clown in front of me?
This is impossible!
The clown has known him for too long!
The guy in front of me can be seen from both his appearance and his little movements, that he is undoubtedly the Joker himself.
That pale face!
That skin full of traces of chemical dye residue!
And the hysteria in the chaos!
"I am the clown, I can be Joe Cole, or Jock, or Jack!" ①
The smile on the clown's face was gone, and these words were originally It's time to show off with a crazy smile.
The tone should be arrogant and full of inexplicable feelings!
Instead of just stating the facts coldly like now!
It’s just that this sentence seems to be unfinished!
Batman really felt the panic in his heart!
He even admitted that he was panicking!
Will the clown who can’t laugh become the clown’s favorite joke?
Although his body did not tremble and his eyes did not become trance-like, he knew very well that he had lost his usual calmness.
The clown in front of him is the one he is familiar with!
Including the purple suit and the dark green hair! And that tone full of bewitching power!
But the clown is not laughing!
The fear caused by this abnormality began to spread!
"How long have we known each other?"
The clown leisurely arranged his suit and tie like a gentleman on the street.
The tone of speech is as natural as the British talking about the weather!
He gently took out a comb from his pocket and arranged his hairstyle elegantly.
“I don’t know, maybe several years?”
Batman said this, his expression became a little ugly.
He was even silent for a while before speaking!
He has never been like this before. Even if he is a villain who cannot be convinced, he will just find another way to convince him.
Instead of being silent like this now!
The Joker looked at Batman in front of him and twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to smile. But the corner of the mouth finally returned to its original place!
"So you are now, Batman! Do you know how old you are?"
The Joker put the comb back into his pocket and said in a godfather-like tone.
That kind of condescending, graceful, elegant and leisurely tone!
This question is not too difficult for anyone. Even if you cannot remember the exact age, there is still a number for it.
But Batman's face turned pale at this moment!
"More than forty? No!"
Batman's brain is running rapidly, and the innermost part is muttering like gibbering!
He is constantly retrieving his memories from his mind!
He still remembers the day his parents died! They watched the movie "Zorro" that had just been released, and the tragedy happened on the way home!
This memory is so profound that it is impossible for him to forget it!
"The movie "Zorro" was released twice in 1920 and 1925. So Batman, answer me a question, how old are you now?"
In the clown's voice The moment was filled with a feeling of coercion, and he seemed to be able to express his emotions and thoughts without any change in mood.
It’s more like hearing those questions from Batman’s heart and giving the standard answers directly!
The year is 2011, and Batman is at least close to a hundred years old! ②
It seems that there are more things that the clown no longer needs to introduce.
Batman finally realizes what's wrong and finally knows the truth about how old he is!
The fear was unprecedentedly powerful, but it was immediately integrated into Batman's body!
He is the pinnacle of human will! He is a hero who never gives up! He is the one who truly defeated the gods on earth with a mortal body!
Fear has long been integrated with him during this long period of time!
As the clown watched that fear being absorbed into Batman's body bit by bit, he finally had a little smile on his face!
Then madness appeared in his eyes again!
At this time, in the kingdom of the dead.
Death is leaning on her throne in that girlish posture, with a smile finally appearing on her face!
After the balance between life and death, the smile comes from the beauty of life!
She gave the extra power of death to Tyrael, and she also reached the original form of life authority!
She's been waiting!
Among those who recall that battle, there is someone who can truly be relied upon!
Even though Superman, whose whole body exudes golden light, has been swallowed by eternity! Even if Darkseid becomes a part of the destruction in the hands of Annihilation!
But she still waited! Death in the DC world and death in the Marvel world live together for similar goals!
In order to make life truly free, I chose the same path!
At this moment she has waited for the awakening of a powerful hero!
From now on, she no longer needs to be like a scavenger, collecting souls who remember the past!
Batman, can do better!
And there is a clown beside him!
The Joker is an out-and-out lunatic, and most people, except his little pumpkin, will remain skeptical of his words!
Just like Rorschach, all his truths will become lies and the baseless delusions of a madman in the operation of some guys!
What the Joker is facing is not the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. to erase traces, but Death who has been silently doing the finishing work there!
Now it’s no longer needed!
At this time, in the interrogation room of the Gotham City Police Department, bursts of illusory power spread from the Joker!
Covering the entire Gotham City Police Department!
The only people who can stay awake at this time are the Joker and Batman!
"Batman, or Mr. Bruce Wayne! We are all nearly a hundred years old, but have you ever realized this before?
You have never thought that you have grown from a There was nothing wrong with being able to use only phone booths and now carrying electronic products with you. You never thought there was anything wrong with the fact that you came back from traveling from time to time.
You never even thought about your housekeeper. Fu has already reached the limit of normal human life. But he is still alive! Are you finally awake?"
The clown's voice is hoarse and seems to have an echo!
"Joker, you know all this but you didn't tell me even a word before!"
Rage began to appear on Batman's body, and the red flame enveloped the dark black bat. The battle clothes and cloak are constantly swaying with the wind!
“This is just a joke, but I didn’t expect that you would need such a long time to think about such a joke, and even need me to give a reference answer!
If you face a riddle If only people were so stupid, then the Riddler would probably have gotten what he wanted.”
As the clown said this, a huge demonic shadow slowly appeared behind him!
Wayne knows that guy!
In the knowledge given to him by his ancestors!
The King of Lies! Billie!
“Are you still a clown? Or have you fallen into another deadly joke!?”
Wayne took out a thick hammer in his hand and hung the legend of Dread Iron on his waist!
The anger passed through his high-tech bat suit, rising out of his body with aggression!
"Haha, that guy's joke is too old-fashioned and not funny at all."
A very forced smile appeared on the clown's face, which seemed to be a "joke" "I was annoyed, so I was a little helpless about what happened during that time.
As the Demon King of Lies, Billie's words certainly have a strong ability to confuse people, are full of logic, and are good at guiding in various aspects.
But the lies of normal people can only deceive normal people. Smart people will see through the lies and sneer at them, and fools sometimes will not listen to them.
The madman will go in another direction!
The Joker is one of the craziest people in the world!
Bile's consciousness and soul were killed in a fatal joke!
Who told Belial to be a lie?
Lies can never deny the existence of lies, otherwise they will deny their own essence!
And lies that confuse truth and falsehood are meaningless to a madman.
The clown is chaotic! True, false, good and evil have no value to him!
He just wants fun and the most "real" world!
But a madman can deny everything! Admit it all! Because this is their understanding of the world!
They are all kings of their own world!
So in this struggle full of philosophical meaning, Bile was left with only the status of the Demon King of Hell and the authority of truth, falsehood, and lies!
The new King of Lies is not a smart person who is extremely sane, but a guy who is both smart and crazy!
Joker!
“That guy was quite interesting when he was with me. At least he could always tell some jokes to amuse me, although the later the time passed, the less interesting his words became. Until I didn’t A smile broke out from him."
The clown slowly explained to Wayne in front of him, and the shadow of the devil behind him solidified little by little!
He has achieved what Billie has always wanted to do, which is to confuse truth and falsehood.
True and false are already one, and this power is powerful enough.
“He always said that he would put away that humble illusion and show the true form of the Demon King of Hell. Look behind me, that guy is what he called his ‘true form’, which almost made me laugh out loud. !
This was the last joke he told me, which made me laugh happily
He is obviously just a humble ant, but he always dreams of becoming a god? In my opinion he's not as interesting as you. Bruce Wayne, I will invite you to a game, but will you choose to stop me? Or will you stand on my side? "
The corners of the clown's mouth slowly opened, and the wound at the corner of his mouth began to slowly ooze blood!
And Wayne put the hammer in his hand on his waist, slowly He slowly bent his knees and lifted his right leg up.
He clasped his hands on the belt, and his anger began to spread.
In Wayne's perception, he and The Joker has left the Gotham City Police Station, and there are no bystanders around at this time
And he will defeat this guy in front of him as usual!
Trampling on the ground·trembling trampling!
The moment his feet hit the ground, his anger broke out again!
Landslides and volcanic eruptions!
The legendary power of Dread Iron!
Trampling on the ground is the key to activating this power, and after opening the door, the power of raging landslides and earth-shattering surges out!
But these two parts of power only disappeared in a flash!
Because a barbarian with blue light wings on his back is standing here holding a nut hammer!
Rorschach!
Watcher, justice, the uncompromising Rorschach!
①The origin of the Joker is as messy as Catwoman.
In 1940, the Joker appeared in the first story of "Batman" Issue 1. He was a criminal who used poison to kill people. After the victim was poisoned and died, a ferocious smile would be left on his face.
1942. A villain named Red Hood (not Jason Todd) was stopped by Batman from carrying out a mission to destroy a chemical plant. He fell into a chemical tank and was disfigured and turned into the Joker. This plot conflicts with the original setting of the Joker, and the identity of the Joker becomes unclear.
There is a saying derived from a relative of the clown that the clown should be called Jack. However, in the Joker's own opinion, he prefers to call himself Joseph Kerr, or Joe Kerr for short.
In the subsequent comic story plot, the Riddler claimed that he knew that the Joker’s wife did not actually die in childbirth, but that criminals hijacked the Joker’s wife to coerce him to help commit crimes. According to the Riddler, The clown is called "Jack."
②The Iron Man movie was filmed in 2008, but the time in the play is 2010. Ivan Vanko debuted in 2011. So the time here is tentatively set as 2011.
Batman was about ten years old when he lost his parents. Judging from the first story timeline of the first issue of "Batman", he should have been thirty years old or older in 1940 when he fought as a superhero. .
This is how the setting of Batman being nearly a hundred years old in this article comes from.
