American manga: Batman after graduating from the madhouse

Su Yu opened his eyes, surrounded by his childhood cabin. He gently opened the door and slowly looked at everything around him.

The fire in the fireplace burned quietly, crackling from time to time.Mother and father were chatting and laughing while drinking afternoon tea in front of the coffee table. When they saw Su Yu walking out of the room, a smile appeared on their faces.

Su Yu rushed forward excitedly. His parents stood there and smiled, but gradually moved away from him as if they were moving in parallel.

Su Yu hurriedly chased after him, but when he raised his foot, he fell into a dark void.He fell heavily on the sofa.

"Master Jason, it's dinner time." Ah Fu stood tall in a butler's suit. Bruce was reading the newspaper at the dining table. When he heard Su Yu's voice, he put down the newspaper and a smile appeared on his serious face, "Come here. Jason." "Okay...Okay Mr. Bruce."

Su Yu subconsciously responded, just sitting at the dining table, "Why did I return to the manor..."

"Of course I saved you." Bruce smiled, "How are the criminals in Arkham?"

Su Yu shook his head. He was still a little dazed now. "They are all dead." Bruce replied with a half-smile. "What?" Su Yu almost jumped up, "What's going on?"

"Of course I killed him." Bruce wiped his mouth elegantly with a napkin, "And..." He slowly raised his head and showed a weird smile, "You will go to accompany them soon."

His face suddenly distorted and turned into the pale and terrifying face of a clown. "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

The clown opened his arms and his body suddenly became huge. The whole world seemed to be darkened. He slowly approached, "My little bird... we still have a long time... hahahahahahahahahahahahaha..." Su Yu Falling to the ground, "No...no!"

"Haaaaah..." Su Yu opened his eyes suddenly, sweating profusely, and was immediately followed by a burst of severe pain.

He wanted to stand up, but found that he was tied to a chair.It seemed to be an abandoned factory, with only a little light not far ahead.

"It is reported that the last Arkham fugitive patient, the Riddler, was captured by Batman at seven o'clock this morning. So far, Gotham has suffered a total economic loss..."

“In addition, Mr. Bruce Wayne, the leader of the Wayne Group, announced early this morning that his adopted son Jason Todd had been confirmed dead, and his murderer was the super criminal Joker who had been declared cured not long ago.

The clown, whose age is unknown, is a major suspect in the recent TV station bombing. His..."

Bang, the figure on the sofa slowly raised the remote control, and the old-fashioned TV dimmed.The clown slowly turned around and looked at Su Yu with a lazy smile.

Su Yu broke into a cold sweat for a moment. The pressure he felt when facing the Joker was far beyond what other criminals could compare to. The crime prince who had been confronting Batman in the dark brought pure malice.

What's worse is that Su Yu knows what he is facing.

The Joker tortured Jason Todd for more than a year in another world, breaking his psychology. He also broke into Gordon's home, shot Batgirl and took photos, and even kidnapped Gordon and performed various acts on him. Inhuman torture.

Su Yu felt despair at the thought of falling into his hands.

"My mother always taught me not to forget to smile and put on a happy smile. She said my mission in life is to bring joy to everyone."

The Joker slowly approached holding a crowbar.

"I have been trying to do this before, but they just watched indifferently..."

"I'm very confused...I keep asking myself what's wrong with the world. Is there something wrong with me or is the world too crazy?"

Su Yu looked at the clown approaching step by step and struggled desperately, but to no avail. He was unable to break free from the clown's binding techniques using any method he knew.

"But look, I'm pretty sure everyone is paying attention to me now. I once thought my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it's actually a comedy." The clown laughed and waved at Su Yu Got the crowbar.

Suddenly, Su Yu fell heavily to the ground along with the chair, "Go to hell..." Su Yu roared in a low voice.

"Hahahahahahahaha...it's obvious...you plan to have a good day with me, little bat~" "Just like this." The clown laughed wildly and waved the crowbar again.

"You are special, kid...you are not like that bat..." The clown rubbed his chin with his hand, pretending to think. "You are destined to cross that boundary." He approached Su Yu, "Before that...I want to leave you something...special..."

He took out a small knife and slowly drew a smiling face on Su Yu's chest. The blood slowly flowed down, as if the smiling face was weeping...

"Take your time, Jason Todd." He wiped his hands.

"You know me?" Su Yu was shocked, "Oh... of course... I also know that Bruce Wayne is Batman. It's not difficult to deduce at all."

"Then why did you..." "Don't just kill him? What a joke! That's not fun at all!" The clown looked bored. "Bruce behind the mask means nothing, Jason. It's Batman who completes me... not fucking billionaire Bruce Wayne, you know that?"

Su Yu vaguely understood what the clown was thinking... "You lunatic..."

"Crazy? Maybe... But you know, people will always go crazy if they have a bad day." The clown hummed, "Now... let us put a smile on your face..."

...............................

My name is Su Yu, or Jason Todd, it doesn't matter.

I am Batman's partner and Batman's heir.But I almost forgot about those times.He imprisoned me, he tortured me.How long have I been in this dark hell?

I don’t know it myself, I only remember that I have tasted all kinds of pain that those forgotten prisoners suffered in the dungeon.I was proud at first because I had hope, and then I began to doubt myself and my adoptive father, the man I thought could do anything.

This suspicion somewhat confirmed the Joker's belief that I was the one who was insane.I fell down from the top of my arrogance, and I began to plead, not to God, but to people. I even hoped that the clown would show mercy.

I began to pray, not out of passion, but out of hatred.I prayed out loud as he left, and I fell into a trance-like state.I seemed to see Batman listening to every word I said.I also saw my parents who had long since disappeared.

Gradually, my heart was filled with gloom.

...............................

"Relax, kid. Batman won't come looking for you." The Joker gently put his hand on Su Yu's shoulder.

"It's been six months and it's time to face reality, Jason."

"Fuck you."

"Hahaha, this is the spirit, very good, very good, Jason! I really love you to death!

You really look like that bat, but that won't do you any good. "

"Why don't you just kill me?"

"What? No, no, no, no... I have no intention of killing you, not at all. You are my partner now~ Imagine you and me walking down the street, starting fights, leaving the weak unable to do anything Strike Back ~ A dynamic duo in crime! Just like old Bat and his new boy."

"Fuck you."

The clown burst out laughing. He walked up to Jason and made a swing like a baseball player, "I know this will hurt, but, you know, sometimes being cruel is for your own good! Haaaaaa Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

He hit Su Yu hard on the chest...

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up, my little boy~" a sharp voice hummed.

Su Yu opened his bruised eyes in a daze and found that his hands were tied with ropes and he was hanging in the air with his wrists as the fulcrum.

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? What are you afraid of...Don't be like this, my dear Jason, I won't hurt you, I'm not a bad person, oh, no, no, no, no..."

The Joker turned around sharply, "It's been almost a year...Jason. Who do you think is the real bad guy? It's Batman! He abandoned you like an unwanted puppy."

He raised his hands in a pretentious manner, "Please, Dad, let me raise him! Please, please, please! I will take good care of him."

Su Yu was unable to react and could only watch the clown perform to his heart's content.

...............

But he couldn't accept it calmly, he couldn't do it.

His past life was short, his present was gloomy, and his future was hazy. The light of 19 years is too weak to illuminate the endless darkness.

He had no means of relieving his sorrow.His abundant energy, which could have been enlivened by reminiscing about the past, was imprisoned like an eagle in a cage.Efforts of self-control were followed by rage.

Su Yu struggled so violently that he and his chair fell to the ground. His curses echoed in the abandoned factory, where the clown would leave him here to be with darkness and loneliness after completing his daily routine.He turns his anger on everything around him. He vents his anger on himself and on the smallest thing that provokes him, such as a grain of sand, a blade of grass, or a breath of air.

He punished the clown with the most terrible tortures he could imagine, but felt that none of them were severe enough, because after torture comes death, and after death, if not rest, at least something close to rest. A state of numbness.

Because he always thought that death was rest, and because he wanted to invent a punishment more cruel than death, he began to think of suicide.It was really unfortunate that he had this thought again while he was in pain.

But the mysterious survival instinct fought against him in his heart and shook his determination from time to time.

At that time, the abandoned factory did not seem as gloomy as before, and he was not as desperate as before.

He was still young, only in his early twenties.Over that long period of time, who could say that nothing unexpected would happen to restore his freedom?

Day by day passed like this.Su Yu gradually began to become numb, and he only felt in a trance.

The pain disappeared, the thirst also lessened, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I seemed to see something flying randomly in front of me.

The clown still played different "games" with him every day, including electric shock, waterboarding, ice cubes... He became another teacher of Su Yu, the best teacher of torture and torture.

Su Yu learned many skills from him that Batman would not teach him, cruel skills...

The clown told him his thoughts every day, and every time he was afraid of peeking into the tip of the iceberg in his chaotic and dark mind.

………………

A year later, just before Christmas, the clown came to Su Yu again, and this time he was not smiling.

"I've had enough fun." The Joker announced, "I want to completely defeat Batman." He looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu's messy hair covered his eyes, and no one could clearly see his deep and numb eyes.

"You can't do it."

He answered hoarsely, his voice sounding like a dying old man, weakened by the vicissitudes of life.

"No, no, no, Batman can't play a single card in his hand, and I...have you. You see, people always need one or two trump cards, and you are my trump card."

Su Yu raised his head when he heard this and looked directly at the clown, "Let me out and I will kill you." At this moment, his eyes were full of violence.

Unexpectedly, the clown happily agreed, "Deal."

He quickly dragged Su Yu's chair to the rooftop of the factory.Su Yu finally saw the night sky of Gotham again.

Gotham was so peaceful on Christmas Eve, with hymns playing on the streets and children laughing and chasing each other on the streets in the distance.

“I wanted to prove my idea and prove that other people were the same as me.

All it takes is one bad day to turn the most rational person into a lunatic.

And that's how close the world is to me, one bad day. "

"But I failed. Gordon is stronger than I thought... Now, you will prove my idea again. You will be my most perfect creation."

The clown caressed Su Yu's face and slowly reached out to untie him.

As soon as the rope was untied, Su Yu roared and threw the clown to the ground, trying to choke him.

But he was too weak, and the clown easily held his hands down.

"No, now is not the time." The clown said with a smile. He pushed Su Yu away and slowly took out a pistol from his purple suit pocket.

He gently raised his hand and pointed his gun at Su Yu.

"Pong!" He made a simulated gunshot sound, startling Su Yu.

"Here~" He bent down, turned the gun and put it in Su Yu's hand. He held the barrel of the gun and moved it to his forehead.

"Kill me." The clown showed a weird smile, "Kill me for yourself."

Su Yu held the trigger with his finger, his wrist trembling slightly. Now the clown's life was in his hands. He only had to pull the trigger lightly...

In one moment, this embodiment of Gotham's evil would be gone from the world.

What Bruce often told him suddenly flashed through his mind, "Two rules, don't use guns and don't kill."

Many things that could be easily solved with Bruce's marksmanship, he would rather put a lot of effort into bypassing the gun itself...

Batman seemed to be looking at him right in front of him, shaking his head gently, no.

The clown seemed to see what Su Yu was thinking, "Jason, what are you hesitating about? Hahahahahaha, don't worry about me, I won't disappear,

I will be a curse on Gotham, and children will wake up screaming from their dreams just thinking about me,

All I have left is death and madness.I will always live in the dark shadow of Gotham, a place where evil breeds... Hahahahahahahahahaha..."

Su Yu's pupils suddenly shrank. He recalled what the clown had done to him this year. He recalled every time the clown swung the crowbar and every time it left scars on his body...

"Kill one person and save thousands of people...it's just one person...it's just one person..."

He whispered.Bruce's words still echo in my ears, "Boy, everything begins with one."

"Stop!" A hook shot to the rooftop, and a black shadow was approaching quickly.

Downstairs, the police siren rang, and Gordon led a group of police officers to rush upstairs quickly, followed by a large number of people carrying cameras and microphones.

Batman fell to the ground, "Stop, Jason!" Su Yu looked at Batman and slowly lowered his arm.Batman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just one person..."

This sentence rang in his mind like a demon again,

"No more terrorist attacks, no more bombs, gunpowder and poison gas, no more deaths..."

Su Yu glanced at Batman. In full view of everyone, bang bang bang...the gun went off...

The clown's body was shaking wildly after being hit by the bullet. His mouth and nose were bleeding, and he kept retreating.

When he retreated to the edge of the rooftop, he gave Batman a proud look.

"I won!"

He laughed and fell off the rooftop, his laughter echoing in the dark night,

Bang bang, he hit the ground, bleeding profusely, motionless, with a smile still on his face.

On the dark rooftop, Su Yu gasped and put down the barrel of his gun. Batman was beside him with complicated eyes.

Gordon put on handcuffs for him with a serious face, "Jason Todd, you have been arrested on suspicion of major murder..."

He turned and glanced at Batman, who was just silent. "Under arrest."

Su Yu just lowered his eyes, his long hair covering his face, and no one could see his expression clearly.

No one knew, he just suddenly remembered and vaguely remembered that before the first mission, Bruce put on the equipment for him with a smile and said to him, "Jason, you will be my most perfect work."
