[Zhongyingmei] The clown is actually me

"lover?"

"Yes,? We are in love."

Of course Batman didn't believe it, he just thought the Joker was talking nonsense: "That's not what I want to ask."

The clown intentionally expressed exaggerated surprise and meaning: "Don't you want to hear the details of our kiss?"

The Green Lantern and others who were eavesdropping outside the door almost spit out a mouthful of water.

"You know what I want to ask."

The clown smiled, lying on his back on the comprehensive treatment table, his green pupils illuminated by the shadowless lamp: "Of course I know,? How could I not understand you. You just want to ask me, 'Who the hell is Jack'? My split personality, the soul that unfortunately strayed into my body,? Me deteriorating under the influence of drugs? You have received my letter, but you still want to hear me confirm it yourself. And my answer is——It's not important, it's important What’s more, he’s already here.”

As he spoke, he nodded his heart: "What you got wrong is just some simple causal relationship,? It wasn't the psychotropic drugs that made him born, but that he existed first, and the drugs can help him maintain a long-term sobriety."

Batman was silent for a while: "Jack is your split personality,? I don't understand your purpose of doing this."

The clown raised his eyebrows, with a look of nostalgia on his face, like a dream: "I remember the last time we talked, it was in an abandoned amusement park in Gotham? It was raining that day, and you beat me to the ground In the mud,? Tell me,? 'We don't have to kill each other' 'Let me help you',? Then I turned you down,? Told you a joke about a flashlight and two madmen. You can't save me , but I repented,? Why not? Maybe I should give you a chance,? Like you gave me countless times,? And so there was him.”

Batman stared at him, as if going back in time, the two returned to the abandoned circus, looking into each other's eyes through the rain: "You want me to save you?"

"No, I just want to torture you. You are a noble man, and tormenting a noble man is simple: hurt himself, make their blood suffer; take his family, let a heroic will wither in loss; defile him heart, turn him into a bullet for his parents; prepare a new soul, give him hope, and let him relive the powerlessness that nothing can save." The green-haired man stood up and stroked the bat There is an indescribable light shining in the eyes, like persistence or obsession, maybe both: "Batman, how many times have you dreamed about the ACE chemical plant? In your heart, you must think that It was a major failure, like if you could catch me, the clown wouldn't show up. The world—or this city, Gotham, there's always going to be a clown, there's always going to be a clown, so I'm hopeless. The end was doomed from the beginning."

Batman was silent, he should have held the Joker down, stuffed his insane words back down his throat, and given him a shot to bring Jack back.But what the clown said just now hit his heart.Yes, he and the Joker both know each other, in a sense, they really are a pair of confidants, but they don't know each other, because they only know a part of each other.

The Joker knows all about his madness and darkness, and he likes to play the trick of driving Batman crazy, but he doesn't understand-and doesn't want to understand Bruce Wayne, let alone why Batman is a hero.He thinks these are necessary parts that he doesn't know about, and he is not interested in the childhood shadows and trivial matters of the rich second generation.Batman knows him too, he is heartless, hard-hearted, fearless, a fog of illogical chaos, without emotion, without purpose, and without boundaries.His perverted brain is full of distorted thoughts and extremely weird logic.

"There is no reconciliation between us, there is no compromise, the reconciled us are no longer us", the clown once said with a maliciously affectionate kiss.

Clowns are hopeless, never have been.

"There's never 'the end is meant to be at the beginning,'" Batman said.

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to." The clown shrugged. "But, bat, the love that bursts out a second before death is charming."

The blood biochemical report has come out, Batman finished chatting with the clown, took out the locking agent from the freezer, pulled up his sleeve and gave him an injection, then grabbed his handcuffs, led him out of the consultation room, just pushed The door, the people hiding outside the door suddenly dispersed.Batman was not surprised by their eavesdropping behavior, he just coughed a few times: "Stop playing, we still have a lot to deal with."

He dragged the clown's neighbor to the conference room, and pushed the clown on a chair.The Unrighteous Bat seems to have lost weight again, with black and blue circles under his eyelids, obviously he has not slept for a long time. The betrayal of the Unrighteous Flash Barry Allen obviously gave the Rebel camp a sigh of relief, but it is not enough to fight against the Superman regime. He needs to prepare more.Everyone saw that Batman didn't mean to blame, and they all returned to their seats and sat down. The clown sat on the office chair and turned around a few times, laughing like a child. Aquaman pointed to him who was the noisiest in the entire conference room. , said: "Why is he here?"

Batman brings a plate of cookies: "He can't leave my sight."

"He's still alive and well after taking medicine?"

"It takes a while for the drug to take effect from the injection." Batman said succinctly, "Now we have to find a way to defeat the Superman in this world."

The clown jumped up from the chair: "I have a way! I have a way!"

All eyes were on this lunatic with ADHD.

"Aren't his parents still alive? The adoptive parents who kidnapped him threatened him. If the defense is too strict and there is no chance to attack, then find another target, such as the biological mother of the princess of Paradise Island. Or use your former friendship as a pawn." Bait, say 'my best friend, I want to sit down with you and have a heart-to-heart talk', coax him into the appointment, and then use a kryptonite bullet to punch a hole in his celestial cap." The clown reclined on the chair, crossed his legs, "Don't tell me you can't do it, Bat, it's so easy to kill a man."

Not to mention the unjust bat, even Batman can't stand it anymore: "I won't do such a thing."

"Oh, don't you want a more dramatic solution, then I have it too. For example, the superhuman serum developed by the Technology Star Laboratory can allow you to temporarily gain strength comparable to Superman. The side effect is that it will become a day of destruction. Willpower The stronger the person, the longer it lasts. My suggestion is to give this Green Lantern a drink. He can last for about 5 minutes. Then you just kill Doomsday. Anyway, Doomsday is not a human, and he is easier to deal with than Superman. "The clown said with a grin, "You can use the space treadmill as an engine, and tie the Flash to your car. The super high speed will allow you to gain the speed force. If the Flash can't survive, he will be torn apart by the speed force. crack."

Batman was unmoved: "Shut up."

The clown shook the handcuffs and continued with a smile on his face: "Bat, do you know why you can't beat Superman? Because you are a good person, you have high morals, and you have a bottom line. And that Kryptonian has become a bad person, he Break your own bottom line, so you can't win. If you want to end the war, you have to be like him, break the bottom line and become a bad person, only then can you win against him."

"Hal Jordan, gag him."

Green Lantern stands up. "Happy to oblige."

The clown was tightly bound by the straitjacket transformed by the green light ring, and finally he could no longer jump up and down and wag his tongue. Everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.Listening to the clown is really torture. It's not that his voice is ugly, but he always has a strange tone, the tone of a sentence fluctuates back and forth, and his morbid desire to perform makes people sick, like a spirit who has sucked too much LSD Patient-like.Green Arrow rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, he finally understood what Luther felt when he heard the clown singing, no wonder Luther said he couldn't stand the clown, not even a second: "It's been less than a week since I've been separated from Jack, and I've already started Miss him."

"Okay, let's continue the meeting." Unyielding Bat tapped on the table with the side of the document, "We decided to bring the superman from your world over."

After the meeting.

Harley carried the drowsy clown to the infirmary, and the others began to make preparations. Aquaman went to gather the army of Atlantis, and Wonder Woman went to prevent the female warriors of Paradise Island from invading the outside world. Green Arrow and Green Lantern assists them respectively.Unrighteous Bat watched them leave the conference room one by one, but finally held Batman back.The two identical faces stared at each other in the darkness, and the four blue pupils looked like broken diamonds sunk into the bottom of the sea.

"You trust Jack?" The Unrighteous Bat asked softly.

"No trust." Batman shook his head. "He has mental problems and can only be locked up in Arkham Asylum for the rest of his life. Let him feel 'trusted', which can effectively appease him."

"At that time, in Wayne Manor, we all saw that the kryptonite missile was activated, the trajectory was warmed up for a few minutes, until he found that the magazine was empty, and then he deleted all access logs. , Trying to hide this matter. But he can't hide it from me, my authority is above him." Injustice Bat said, "The only one who can control the Bat computer, your Jack wants to kill Superman."

"Your Superman shattered Jack's shoulder." Batman stared into his eyes, eyes that matched his own.

"I didn't condemn him." The Unrighteous Bat sighed, turned around, and just as Batman was about to leave, his voice came faintly from behind, like some kind of curse followed "If the clown in our world can survive, will Jack be born in the future?"

Batman glanced back at him, and for a moment he remembered Jack's words.

——"...I don't really want to pour cold water on you, bat, maybe I'm the only exception, the others will still be so bad, and they won't improve in the future."

"No, although it sounds a bit absurd, but..." Batman was silent for a while, "Jack will appear, it may be just an accident, he is the third option, a possibility of reconciliation...or the one about the flashlight and the two A madman's joke, another answer, which is why the Joker is so fascinated by him, what he represents is a hope that breaks the Sisyphus cycle."
