The Dark Barbarian Arrives in American Comics

"Joker, how dare you do this! How dare you do this!"

There was a burst of angry words coming from Rorschach's mouth, but both the clown and him knew that this could at most be considered the opening salvo of this confrontation of wills!

Although even Rorschach himself did not know how much of this series of questions were his true emotions.

Rorschach's mother was a somewhat unspeakable past for him.

But at this time Rorschach even suspected that he was not the real target of the Joker at all! Even though he had been attacked to this extent, Rorschach still thought so!

The clown is full of danger all the time, and he is experiencing emotional fluctuations almost every moment.

The authority of justice brings Rorschach not only pure power, but also the ability to discern people's hearts!

There has to be a judgment on whether justice is right, and justice itself is both the participant and the arbiter!

This is unfair, but this is the power of justice! This is also the reason why Bele often avoids Tyrell.

In fact, the Joker's first target is indeed not Rorschach, the new justice. After he solved Billie, he certainly knows how powerful the power of justice can be.

It is also very clear that such an influence on Rorschach will not be so simple as to make Rorschach give up.

Maybe one day things will develop to that extent, but that's definitely not what the Joker wants to do the most.

Who is Rorschach? To him, he is a stranger. Whether the stranger is strong or not is of no value.

He only focuses on what he can see.

The Joker's eyes rarely leave Gotham City, and he rarely leaves Batman.

Although other heroes may occasionally become the target of his jokes, those guys are no strangers.

After all, there are some obsessions in the Joker's heart, such as the existence of Batman and the concept of fear guiding people.

This is a great irony for the clown. When did a "madman" turn to guide the people's ideas?

Whether it's trying to provoke Batman into giving up his bottom line of "not killing", thereby turning Gotham City's savior from a hero into a murderer. Or it's trying to pose some difficult problems to Batman to make this guy's spirit become...

A bit more unstable.

Which of these is interesting without being at odds with Rorschach?

Batman on the side has not escaped this baptism of "laughing gas" and lies. At this time, he is constantly struggling like a fish out of water!

But if you want to defeat Batman, this is not enough!

If Rorschach's will is a solid stone that is almost indestructible, then the bat's will is the darkness that covers everything!

No matter who you are, don't think about tearing apart this dark night that can accommodate all sins, just because this guy wants to make all sins become a thing of the past when the sun rises!

But obviously, this laughing gas is not as easy to get through as the ones in Batman's memory.

This is no longer as simple as poisoning someone and leaving a smile on the corpse!

"Bruce Wayne, when do you think I became aware of your name?"

The clown's voice sounded from Batman's ears, and the power that penetrated his heart made him a little uneasy.

The clown's voice was very frivolous, as casually as if he was chatting with an acquaintance in a bar.

At this time, Wayne's heart felt uneasy to describe it as uneasy. This feeling should be called "fear"!

Batman himself didn't know what he was afraid of. He had actually been mentally prepared for his identity to be exposed early on.

At least that's how it was when he decided to become Batman.

He was just an ordinary person at the beginning, just an ordinary person who might fall in battle at any time.

If he falls, all the villains will know that the one who is constantly working against them is Bruce Wayne.

He even thought about what would happen after his mask was knocked off, and his group was besieged by all the villains.

He couldn't find anyone in Gotham City who could help him.

He had planned all of this a long time ago, and the plan was even detailed enough to compile several books.

He shouldn't be moved by this, but the fear is spreading.

"I guess you already knew that when you wanted to play those dangerous games with me."

Wayne said this, and then pricked up his ears, trying to locate the clown's movements in this environment.

"Of course, any guy in this city who is a little bit more prominent can think of the name Bruce Wayne if he is willing."

The clown spoke with a bit of playfulness, and judging from his actions, he seemed to be constantly suppressing Wayne's heart.

"It's not difficult to find you in this city at all. Although your height is not accurate because of your two ears, it is definitely around 190 centimeters and your weight is about 95 kilograms. Also

With capital to manufacture these strange equipment, you are better equipped to learn these messy fighting techniques.

The most important thing is that you are a white male. And you do absolutely nothing every day.

So if such conditions are placed in front of you, wouldn't you guess who this is?"

The Joker's words left Batman speechless.

With this condition put in place, the only thing left to do is to directly tell the house number of the Wayne family's mansion.

Batman began to reflect. If his identity was as obvious as the Joker said, how could the battle between the two sides continue for so many years?

"Guess who I am?"

A large cloud of smoke gathered in front of Batman to form a clown's face, and that fond smile made Batman's uneasiness begin to grow.

"Boring question, what do you want from me?"

Batman Wayne answers one question with another in order to seize the initiative of the conversation.

I have to say that although this method is very old-fashioned, it can always have some effect.

But not when facing the Joker!

"What if I say this? Master, your superhero pretending game is over. You are no longer anxious!"

The clown's voice turned into that of the butler Ah Fu in an instant. Such a change made Wayne's heart almost stop beating for a moment!

To be honest, if Ah Fu is really the Joker, then all the difficulties Batman encounters when facing the Joker seem to make sense, because the person who knows him best in the world is his butler Ah Fu.

.

"Bad trick!"

Batman said calmly, his muscles already tense under his suit.

Obviously he is not as free and easy as he said.

"It's just a joke."

The clown's voice continued to sound, and this purposeless conversation made Wayne gradually become irritable.

He is Batman, the protector of Gotham City!

But Gotham City is being enveloped bit by bit by that "laughing gas".

Even if Batman himself did not feel any threat from the smoke, he would not believe that the Joker spread the smoke just to make Gotham City a foggy city like London.

"Qiang Qiang! What about this!?"

The clown suddenly shouted in surprise, and the somewhat erratic head formed by the smoke now turned into Wayne's own face.

It’s just that the smile on the corner of his mouth is like a hyena trying to choose someone to devour!

"Silent? Or Thomas Elliot! Do you think my real identity is this guy?"

The clown's voice sounded again, and the rich mockery made Wayne pull out the mace from his hand!

Batman's temper has never been very good, not to mention that his mental state has actually been swinging into madness for a long time.

If there is anything the Joker said that was right, it was definitely the one about Batman being a madman!

As for Silence, he's just a lunatic who is jealous of Wayne and wants to be Wayne.

Perhaps he can be regarded as a smart man and an excellent doctor.

But because he wanted to be like Wayne, he killed his parents directly. There is really no other adjective to describe this guy except crazy.

But if we really talk about it, Silence is probably the first guy to know the identity of Batman.

After all, in Wayne's own memory, he used his identity as Wayne to frighten the idiot Silence.

"Whatever you want from me, just say it!"

Wayne could no longer endure this meaningless teasing.

His sense of humor is far from the clown's thinking, and he won't give in to it.

"I just want to ask you, how many people in this city do you think deserve a future?"

The Joker's voice became calm for an instant, and his tone was like that of a far-sighted dreamer who was worried about Gotham City, which made Wayne feel a little bit in danger.

Just before Wayne was about to speak, the Joker answered his own question first: "The answer is that no one deserves a future! We who were born in the sewers should not expect anything.

It should be used as a toy for those of you who are capital. It is just a warm embellishment on the background board that is not even a toy.

So Batman, come on.

The antidote to these poisonous gases is in my heart. You have only one condition for victory, which is to pull it out directly from my chest while my heart is still warm!

The moment I die, my heart will shatter, so you only have one option: tear out my heart while I'm alive.

Then you can save these backgrounds that have no future, why not dream earlier!"

The clown said this, and his figure finally walked out of the mist.

Wayne looked at the clown and still didn't take any action.

It's not that he doubts the authenticity, but the first thing he should doubt is whether the clown in front of him is actually him!

As he spoke, the clown trembled from time to time and looked at Wayne with sinister eyes, seemingly eager to try.

It's like a jerk waiting to be treated roughly.

In this atmosphere, there was silence for a long time. Wayne was still not sure whether what the clown said was true.

The previous series of "jokes" have consumed a lot of Wayne's energy, and now Wayne is acting a bit slow.

Fortunately, when he appeared as Batman, he was always taciturn.

The Joker won't find out.

It's just that Wayne is a little unsure about what the Joker's real purpose is.

Is it just to make him break his bottom line of not killing people?

What is the special significance of this?

Or is this just the most basic part of the Joker's huge criminal plan, because he is afraid of Batman's existence, so he wants to make Batman a joke?

But if Wayne is not killed, even if Batman's vest is shattered, Wayne still has other ways to save Gotham City.

After all, he had already been searching for the heir to the Bat-cloak.

Wayne kept thinking about these things in his mind, and the dark color on his face became increasingly strange.

It's all a mystery.

It is very difficult to guess the thoughts of a madman.

Because "normal people" simply cannot understand the logic of a madman, and naturally cannot guess what the other party is doing.

Unless they become the other party!

The clown looked at Wayne in front of him blankly, and gathered all his strength.

In the humidity brought by the fog, the clown's body was thin and "skinny", like the skeleton mold that was put on clothes in medical courses.

And the clothes that didn't seem to fit tightly clung to the clown's body, making them full of unseemly wrinkles.

The Joker tilted his head and looked at Batman with his eyes, something seemed to be reflected in his eyes.

The long green hair seems to have become a mirror, reflecting the firelight somewhere!

Maybe it was the mixture of anger and fear in Wayne's eyes!

The clown defeated Billie and got almost everything from Billie!

But a lunatic will not let the memories of a hell demon pour into his body just because he can get more benefits.

This also allowed the clown to avoid the last conspiracy before Belial's demise, but the clown was still affected to some extent!

At best, a soul that is more than a hundred years old, even if it is the soul of a madman, cannot be compared with the countless years of accumulation of the devil of hell.

The clown's madness allowed him to survive Billie's deadly plan.

But the remaining influence is most obvious in two aspects. One is full of awe for fear itself.

The other is to hate the fire of wrath.

Among the demon kings of hell, except for the other three demon gods, who is not afraid of Diavolo?

Fear comes from the heart. So the clown realizes that he is afraid of "fear" itself.

The closest Bile came to success was when he was burned to death by the wrath of the barbarians.

These two experiences also happened to the clown.

This "joke" may be deadly enough, and it is also designed to target Batman.

But there are also steps that this madman plans to use to "cure" himself!

As long as Batman makes his choice!

The Joker either redeemed himself or Batman.

But there are never all those who are eligible to be "saved" by the Joker!
