American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

Chapter 270: Fear the Laughing Devil (Part 1)

Popular recommendation:

In DC comics, there are many origins about the role of the clown. At first, when the clown was not popular, he was just an ordinary acrobat, that is, the real clown.

Then there was the version that fell into the chemical pool, of course, the most famous one is the clown of the deadly joke, as long as anyone has a bad day, he will become a clown-like crazy.

One of the most controversial is the setting of three clowns in a universe. In this setting, the clown is no longer the only character, and the three clowns begin to kill each other.

Putting aside those attractive gimmicks, it is possible to have multiple clowns in a universe. After all, there is no shortage of lunatics in Gotham, and some of them are just crazy, thinking of themselves as a crazy clown, Nor is it impossible.

On the night of Schiller's first day in Gotham, he determined that there should indeed be multiple clowns in this universe, because on that night, his personality in controlling the body underwent a certain degree of mutation.

At the beginning, this kind of mutation was not obvious, but when Bruce appeared in front of him and looked at him, Schiller became one of the selected clowns. Therefore, Bruce was interested in him, and he also Interested in Bruce, the inevitable mutual attraction between Batman and The Joker.

Schiller quickly noticed this mutation, his "superego" created another personality to replace the clown Schiller, and threw the clown Schiller into the lower level of his mind palace, allowing him to climb up. , in order to suppress the danger that this crazy personality may pose.

The evolution of the clown is irreversible, so this personality eventually became one of many clowns, but because he was trapped in Schiller's thinking palace and has not yet climbed up, it is not harmful for the time being, but he does Also a clown.

When it comes to the Joker, another controversial character has to be mentioned, that is, the Laughing Bat.

When this character first appeared, his origin story was very interesting, that is, the clown in a certain universe was amazingly powerful. He not only killed Catwoman, Gordon and other people who were very important to Batman, but also captured the entire All the parents of the only child in the city, in front of Batman, repeat the tragedy that happened in Crime Alley again and again.

This cruel and inhumane behavior finally drove Batman into madness. He twisted the Joker's neck with his own hands, but at the same time, the laughter virus in the Joker's heart infected Batman.

That is to say, the Laughing Bat is actually a combination of The Joker and Batman. So far, the story can be regarded as a rather creative plot, because many DC audiences have thought, if the Joker and Batman As one, what will happen?

But later, this setting began to run further and further away. In order to reflect how powerful the combination of Batman and The Joker is, the screenwriter began to recklessly add many settings to the Laughing Bat that can elevate him.

Among them, one of the most detrimental to the story and the DC comics style is that the Laughing Bat is a no-brainer.

In fact, whether it's Batman or The Joker, their intelligence settings are quite high, especially Batman, as a plan madman, he has a backup plan against almost everyone, and the Joker's crazy jokes are implemented one after another. , but also reflects his wisdom and executive ability beyond ordinary people.

In order to show the effect that one plus one is greater than two, the screenwriter made the Laughing Bat almost omniscient and omnipotent. Unfortunately, the plot to show this ability can be called far-fetched, and the Laughing Bat's wit plot can basically be summarized. For, the Laughing Bat expected something the other party did, the other party expected that the Laughing Bat expected something he did, and the Laughing Bat expected that the other party expected something he expected the other party to do...

All in all, I prejudged your prejudgment, I prejudged your prejudgment, I prejudged your prejudgment, and I prejudged my prejudgment, and then performed infinite nesting dolls.

Therefore, here, I have to solemnly introduce to you-

The crazy destroyer of the DC combat force restraint system, the super dragon Aotian in the American comics setting, the intelligence and combat power are amazing, but he never forgets the original goal and his simple wisdom God, always one step ahead, almost never misses, but It is the great sage prophet who does not do business, the soulmate of Zhuge Kongming, the good friend of Edogawa Conan, the only designated father of the DC editorial department - the bat of the wild laugh, Wei Yixiao!

Someone always joked before that Bat Master is the father of the DC editorial department, but now, Wei Yixiao's setting has let people know that the editorial department is probably just Robin adopted by Batman, and the real father has just appeared.

You can't say that the character of Laughing Bat is not good, because its origin story is indeed very interesting, and it satisfies many fans' fantasies about the relationship between Batman and the Joker, but as more and more settings are added, the plot becomes more and more outrageous , The character of Laughing Bat began to gradually break away from the most appealing style of DC comics, the dark humorous style, and turned to the line of Shuangwen.

Therefore, Schiller does not have a good impression of this role. If he had to choose between Batman, The Joker and the Laughing Bat, Schiller would rather be surrounded by ten pairs of Joker and Batman than encounter a Laughing Bat. Bat, this is not because of his out-of-spec combat power and intelligence, but because he is really boring.

Schiller is very clear that once this kind of character with the attributes of an editor's father appears in this universe, his peaceful life will be completely over. Although his current life is not so peaceful, the people surrounding him At least they're fairly interesting characters.

Cobot's inferiority complex and conceit are like twin vines, the cause and subsequent development of Yin Wensi's two personalities, the emotional entanglement between Alberto and the godfather, Victor's unswerving love, etc. Jack the Joker, who has no source and no backstory at all, also used a stage performance to tell Schiller that he was interesting enough.

The Laughing Bat may be very strong, but he is really boring, because everything about him is darkness for the sake of darkness, and there is no mention of any psychological struggle, black and white opposition, human stance and emotional changes. Thousands of kilometers of paper, or even a piece of paper that can circle the earth, may be very long, or it may be called a miracle, but it is still very thin.

If the villains surrounding Schiller now can add a touch of fun to his peaceful life, then the Laughing Bat is a pure disgusting person.

Shortly after Schiller came to Gotham, he determined that this universe should be a member of the light multiverse, because the people here have the possibility of positive transformation, while the dark multiverse is just the opposite, everyone eventually will fall into the abyss.

Therefore, at the beginning, Schiller did not consider that the Laughing Bat might be born, because the conditions for his birth were not met here. In addition to the fact that the universe here is biased towards the light, the current timeline is too early. Batman It was just after finishing freshman year, and the clown only appeared a few days ago. The two of them only made one move. The victim was still the court of owls who deserved it, and they didn't even affect too many onlookers.

Batman hasn't turned into the wise, near-monster, and very suspicious lord, and the Joker has not used his genius to create all kinds of troubles for Batman. The two of them are far from being enemies of life and death. to the point of.

Perhaps it was the arrival of Schiller that added more order to the city, or perhaps the young Batman was supposed to be matched with a young clown. In short, the one who killed all the villains and A decent and murderous clown is unlikely to appear, so the Batman who killed the clown after being tortured insane is also unlikely to appear.

This is Schiller's inference. Even if the clown does appear later, he has not shaken his judgment. He believes that there is no soil that the Laughing Bat can produce in this universe.

But when Jack approached Schiller and told him that there might be a dangerous thing hidden in Batman, Schiller was still shaken.

One of the most crucial points is that if there is a slight possibility that the thing Jack mentioned is the Laughing Bat, can anyone bet that he is not?

When Jack said he felt something was hatching inside Batman~www.readwn.com~ Schiller's vigilance value was pulled to the highest, no matter what, the Laughing Bat must never appear in this universe.

When Schiller had doubts about the Sandman because of his own situation, he had the urge to start a new topic, that is, "how to use dreams to reach the depths of people's hearts".

This project is not only to study how to find the Sandman, but also to dig out the possible danger that Jack said.

After getting the clues about the immortality factor and successfully making crazy wine, the Joker and Schiller knew that they should do it.

At the time, Schiller and Mrs. Miller said that the clown made an appointment on his personal phone, in fact, because they needed to confirm the next plan on the phone.

Everyone knows what happened after that. Schiller, who was drinking with the clown in the consultation room, deliberately asked the elevator manager to release the clown Schiller, who was still climbing the stairs, and had the first contact with the clown Jack, although the clown Schiller His first reaction was to trick Jack into a room in Schiller's Palace of Thought and put him in jail, but after failing to do so, he was also sure that this would be a good partner.

The next step is to put other people into his own thinking space, and then drag Hugo in to test the stability of the whole process, and finally dig down as planned to find the Sandman.

There is a more important reason for the Joker to enter the kingdom of dreams, and that is to allow the Joker to borrow from the kingdom of dreams and enter Batman's dream.

And digging down from Batman's dream, just as Jack expected, at the edge of Batman's dream, in Bruce's body, there is indeed a monster that no one has ever seen before.
