[Zhongyingmei] The clown is actually me

The Laughing Bat.It first appeared in the dark metal event of DC, and it is the fusion of Batman and Joker.

On Earth -22, Batman finally killed the clown, but got too close and was infected by the nano-scale clown virus. The brain was integrated by the virus into a shape closer to the clown. Destroy the Justice League and his world, and finally respond to the call of Barbatos, look for the fallen and deformed Batman in various dark multiverses, and form the famous Dark Knights.The Batman in the main world gathered all the metals and became the door to the dark multiverse. The Laughing Bat took this opportunity to lead the Dark Knights to invade the main universe.

The final outcome is of course that he failed,? Justice defeated evil, and there was no b-style in the fighting process. In the final battle, no one was found hiding in the Batcave, and he was beaten back by the clown and Batman together,? The clown beat He was still holding a bat-shaped kitchen knife. DC's traditional craftsmanship, the beginning is full of gimmicks, and the later screenwriters are doing a lot of work. What stands out is the idiom anticlimactic.

As the product of the combination of the No. [-] decent guy and the No. [-] villain in American comics, the Laughing Bat has its own halo traffic since birth, and after the big event, it became the only one in the Dark Knights.

However, the relationship between the Joker and the Laughing Bat is actually very delicate.Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Joker hates this crazy laughing monster.In "Dark Metal", he and Batman teamed up to chase and laugh wildly, which was a just gang fight; in "Justice League V3", he explained directly to Luthor that "with him but without me, with me without him", and later Luthor secretly Go find Laughing,? He was very annoyed to use poison gas to wipe out the Legion of Doom,? Just to get revenge on Luthor; Heart's blood to Batman.When Jack watched it, he felt emotional, clown, you are the person who hates the Laughing Bat the most in the main DC universe.

In fact, the clown's aversion to laughter is not difficult to understand. The clown likes the process of driving Batman crazy. He appreciates Batman's unshakable will very much, but he hates seeing a really crazy Batman.In the eyes of the clown, the Laughing Bat is a defective product. He has a plan and is not completely crazy; he is Batman, but his heart is full of evil.In short, the Laughing Bat is the failed product of his combination with Batman. After seeing the existence of Laughter and knowing that Batman would become that kind of ghost after losing, he even stopped looking for the main universe bat for a long time. Hero's trouble.

In fact, the Bat Who Laughs is the concretization of a concept, that is: "Batman must win".

"Joker..." The Laughing Bat was hiding behind the gap at such a close distance, his terrifying, deformed, and pale face was facing Jack, uttering words that made him shudder, "Oh, you're still alive... "

Jack took a sharp breath and told himself to calm down.According to the calculations just now, the speed force of Rampage connects the three worlds, but the passage to the Laughing Universe is not stable, and it cannot accommodate a person through it. As long as it persists for a period of time, the space-time crack will heal and disappear on its own.This was just an unexpected glimpse from the Laughing Bat.

He forcefully pulled his hand out of the bat's palm of Laughing Bat, and at the same time shouted: "Bat, help me!"

Batman moved one step faster than him. He rolled up his dark cloak, protected Jack in his arms, and tried to grab Jack's shoulders and step back.But the hands of the Laughing Bat were as strong as iron pliers, tightly gripping Jack's palm, and the sharp black nails sliced ​​open his wrist, leaving long thin wounds and large bloodstains, the wet blood gurgling down the cuff It dripped down, soaking the palms and backs of the Laughing Bat's hands red.Batman shouted: "No, he's too strong, and you'll be dislocated first!"

A huge force suddenly came from the palm of his hand, Jack couldn't control it, and he rushed forward. At that time, the crack in space was pitifully small, only as long as a man's forearm, and as thick as two English dictionaries stacked up, with dreamy lights shining on the edge. The luster seemed to be an upwardly curved mouth connecting the two worlds, trying to swallow Jack whole.His arm was pulled to the other side by the Laughing Bat in an instant, and his whole body was tightly pressed against the opening of the passage. He heard the sound of breathing from another time and space, and the Laughing Bat almost stuck to his ear, murmuring To himself: "Clown, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much."

Damn it, this "thinking" is definitely not a good idea!

Torture scenes such as car splitting at the waist and five horses and quarters flashed through Jack's mind. The cracks in the space-time door twitched more and more frequently. It was obvious that the passage was collapsing. If he couldn't break free when it was closed, his arm might be chopped off. down!However, at this moment, a huge force suddenly came from his arm, breaking the extremely embarrassing tug-of-war. Jack was driven back by the inertia, and unexpectedly bumped into the arms of a man behind him. He raised his head Look, and see a handsome statue-like face, Superman smiling at him with his signature little curly hair.

"Thanks...thank you, it's the first time I feel that a man's chest muscles are so warm and amiable." Jack glanced at Superman's waist, there was only a red belt, which seemed to be their Superman, not underwear/pants Injustice super.His heart dropped, and he gasped for breath.

The space-time channel made a shattering sound, and a dazzling white light erupted from the edge, causing a tiny ripple in the void. Just when the crack completely collapsed, Jack looked at the Laughing Bat, and was bumping into the Laughing Bat He looked at him coldly.It's really strange and frightening, that monster with a metal ring full of spikes can make people feel the "gaze" clearly, and tremble from the depths of their souls.He saw the Laughing Bat stretch out his pale fingers and tap him from the air, the fingers were still covered with his blood.

"What is that?" Unrighteous Bat obviously saw the pale monster's movements.

Jack raised his arm, the Laughing Bat's nails were as sharp as a bird's claw, his wrist and forearm were injured during the pulling, blood stained most of his sleeves red, and he was unable to lift it up anymore.Harley, who had just been frightened, hurriedly brought the medicine kit and bandaged her little pudding's wound with a happy face. Jack gasped in pain and said, "Although it sounds outrageous, I have a feeling , that's Batman."

"Batman? Us, Bruce Wayne?"

"Yes, you've already seen what a Superman driven mad by a clown looks like. The one just now is probably... Batman driven mad by a clown." Jack said, "His voice, tone and accent are all too familiar, The method of grasping and unloading is also what you usually use... Batman, that's you."

Batman was silent.After a while, he said to Jack, "He saw you."

This time it was Jack's turn to be silent. That's right, the action of the Laughing Bat before he left showed that he had already set his sights on Jack.

God, it's really creepy to be remembered by such a monster. Who knows when he will suddenly tear the space and take Jack away. The Laughing Bat definitely has this ability. In some publications, he used something like Given Dr. Manhattan's method of creating worlds, traveling through them must have been easy for him.If he had served his sentence obediently in Arkham back then, there would have been no such thing. A flash of remorse flashed in Jack's heart. Of course, he knew that this might keep him safe for a few months, but when the time came, he still had to come out to play. .

Superman looked at the grinning Jack and the bat that had turned into a wall of pointed ears again, and sighed: "So someone explain to me, what's going on now?"

While everyone was exchanging information, Unjust Flash quietly left the universe treadmill, patted the shoulder of Unjust Batman, looked at Harley, Jack, Superman and Batman, and couldn't help but sighed , tilting his head to look at Unrighteous Bat's tightly pursed lips, Gotham's Dark Knight did not show the slightest sensibility, which made Unrighteous Flash a little frustrated: "Seeing our world rotten into a pot of porridge, I am so sad." The more I look at them, the more I envy them, and you are jealous too, right? The best Superman and..."

Unrighteous Bat lowered his head slightly: "The best clown."

On the other side, on Earth -22.

The Laughing Bat sits on the throne made of withered human bones, looking thoughtfully at the closed space-time crack, he is sure that something guides the rampant speed force and acts as an "anchor". Only then did the other two worlds connect with his world.But that kind of guiding power is too weak and too short-lived. It is hidden in the chaotic turbulence, passing in a flash, and it is extremely difficult to detect.

He raised his arm, took out a test tube from his waist, carefully cut off the blood stained on his body, and filled a test tube full.Laughing Robin is like a loyal hunting dog, surrounding the master's feet, spit out a series of upside-down laughter, he casually kicks the Robins who are in the way, and walks into the bat cave.

Not long ago, he had just ended his war against the Justice League and destroyed his world. The city he once guarded was curled up like a mass of black ash, the air was filled with a strong rotten smell, and human bones stood layer by layer Together, the blasphemous Tower of Babel was formed, and a blood-red moon was suspended in the dark sky.This is his world, a lower world, completely different from another warm, bright and free Garden of Eden. His world is condensed by the fear of the people living in the Garden of Eden, where every flickering fear would be a world, a world like his home.He and what he guards are the dregs of fear.

In the dark multiverse, there are countless worlds destined to fall into fear and pain.

The universe of the Laughing Bat comes from Batman's fear of the clown. He is afraid that the clown will push him too hard and make him do something irreparable.When the Laughing Bat vaguely remembered that he used to be Batman, he knew how strong his will was, it was like a wall between ordinary people and cross-dressing lunatics, but he was not strong enough, he would still be there The uncontrollable fear in the dream is just a trace of this tiny fear...

Destroyed his personality, family and world.

The Laughing Bat let out a series of upside-down laughter, why didn't he see through it?That's right, the clown was right from the beginning, there is no difference between the noble and the base, the saint and the criminal, everything he knows has been doomed since the birth of the universe, just because of a tiny bit of fear, the giant palm of fate All his persistence and hard work turned into a joke, everything he knew was annihilated, leaving only a pale, misshapen, laughing monster!

He walked over to the console and brushed off the black ash. He hadn't been in the Batcave for several years. Fortunately, the Batcomputer still turned on steadily.He put the test tube into the groove for physical and chemical analysis. He didn't know how long it had passed—on Earth -22, time has lost its meaning—the screen of the bat computer flickered a few times, and a large number of days popped up. The Laughing Bat sat on the chair, tapping the corner of the console regularly with his pale fingers.

that clown...

His blood shows that there is still a large amount of clown toxin in his body, but it seems to be neutralized by some strange substance. The toxic reaction maintains a strange dynamic balance, without showing any external toxicity.Just like the clown seen by the Laughing Bat, he still has pale skin, black-green curly hair, and snake-like eyes, but judging from his and other people's reactions, he is just a little neurotic, and has not shown any signs of following. The Joker in the Laughing Bat's memory was just as crazy.

Strange, why?Is it a deviation caused by the world line?

No... there has to be a clown.

The Laughing Bat has traveled through many worlds, and each world has a clown. Maybe the clowns have different appearances, backgrounds, abilities, and even genders, but their madness is the same. There is no doubt that they are all "clowns".The Laughing Bat thinks when crossing the world line. The so-called "clown" is more like a carrier or concept than a specific personality. It is a kind of chaos, disorder, rebellion or provocation. The destruction and questioning of society, just one bad enough day can shape it.

"Joker" is like a virus called "crazy", every infected host will fall into madness, and the host's life itself is not important, once the host dies, it will infect the next person.So it never dies, no matter how many times you kill the Joker, the Joker will always come back and become something more evil.Like the curse that haunts Gotham, it's a plague that's been around since the first city was founded, a disease that shatters everything, and it's been around longer than Gotham itself.

There has to be a Joker, there has to be a Batman.

But... the clown he met was indeed an "infected person", but he did not show too strong symptoms of infection... That's right, just like typhoid Mary, he is an asymptomatic carrier, and he has the power to fight clowns!

The Laughing Bat suddenly came up with a somewhat absurd idea, like the long history of pathogenic bacteria being domesticated by the human immune system and turned into probiotics. After crazy viruses raged in various worlds, thousands of worlds were screened layer by layer. It doesn't seem unreasonable to violently exhaust antibodies that can antagonize it.If his guess is correct, the "normal" clown he met today may well be the... only hope for a cure for this disease, which victims include him.
