Chapter 2510: Battle for the Cloak (Sixty-Six)
Seeing the funny posture of the Penguin, the room was filled with laughter again. It was unclear whether they were laughing at Bruce's stupidity, thinking that he grew up safely on his own, or at the Penguin's bad luck, following this giant baby around all day long, and the Penguin was still so smug, thinking he was doing a good job.
"Let's talk about the main storyline now." It was Scarecrow's turn to speak. He said, "You don't really think that Batman and Jason are the kind of people who reflect on themselves first when encountering something, and become hesitant, cowardly, and start to have wild thoughts as soon as they change the environment, right?"
"If they were this kind of people, how could they have survived in this city for so long? How could so many criminals fear them like tigers?"
"Superheroes are all egomaniacs. They reflect on everything else but themselves. Otherwise, how could you be the one to crush their spirits?"
Everyone in the room was silent, as if they didn't know what to say about the Laughing Bat's arrogance.
The Batman Who Laughs is indeed a combination of Batman and the Joker, but he is just a combination of Batman and the Joker. He is not a combination of Batman, the Joker, the Scarecrow, Two-Face, the Penguin, the Riddler, Harley Quinn and all the lunatics in Arkham.
But the real Batman has to face these lunatics 24 hours a day.
This is especially true for Batman in the Arkham Universe, because this is a game universe and it takes about 20 hours to complete the game. Even if you are a little clumsy, you can still complete the whole process in 30 to 40 hours, and it will only take 60 hours to collect all the platinum trophies.
In other words, no matter how ups and downs the game is, no matter how many villains and accidents appear, Batman only takes 1 to 2 days to solve everything.
In the game's plot setting, Batman only spent one night to complete the city-destroying operation, thwarting all conspiracies and finding all the trophies.
After hearing these experiences, Batman in the main universe thought that it would not be a problem for such a person to deal with a Batman and a Joker. Even if the two sides joined forces, it would not be said to be very difficult.
Even if Batman and the Joker merged into one and had a telepathic connection, he would not be completely powerless to fight back, especially mentally.
Batman's strength is directly proportional to his level of paranoia, so if the combination of Batman and the Joker can weaken Batman so smoothly, wouldn't that be the same as curing him?
After so many comics, so many villains, and so many gods as background characters, Batman is still the same Batman. How can the combination of the Joker and Batman cure him?
Of course, Scarecrow didn't know that laughing wildly was the editorial department's real father's business. He just used common sense to infer that if his inference was correct, the genius director was planning to put the seriously injured and mentally irritated Batman into a dream world, and also planned to bring Jason, the key figure who caused him serious physical injuries and mental irritation, in front of him.
The most important thing is that he also plans to bring in two more Batmen and let this Batman deal with those two Batmen.
Scarecrow Jonathan laughed when he guessed this. He really didn't want to care about it anymore. He just wanted to see the director's expression when these three Batmen and an Arkham Knight beat up the director.
But Schiller said no, because if Arkham Batman really entered the dream world while awake, he alone could burst this fragile bubble.
What is even more shocking is that this genius director did not make any preparations for Jason and Spider-Man who entered the film, as if he was planning to influence them with his touching and tear-jerking plot.
What can Scarecrow do? He can only do his old job, risking the risk of angering Batman again in the short term, answering chemistry questions on the test paper of the subject of drama performance and using chemical means to do something bad.
Another problem is that Jason went in first and Arkham Batman went in later. When Scarecrow received the task, Jason had already gone in, but Arkham Batman had not yet.
That is to say, he has to poison the dream world and the real world at the same time, and the poison has to take effect immediately and have a good effect, otherwise the whole play will collapse.
So the question is, how could he create a toxin in both worlds in a short period of time that would cause Batman and Jason to collapse?
Or if he had the ability, would he have waited for this idiot to do these things? If he had the ability, would it have been the Joker's turn to kidnap Jason?
But this has to work, so what to do? Roll!
Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Firefly, Dr. Phosphorus, Hugo, Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, Kite Man, in short, all the well-known and highly educated villains in Gotham formed a temporary scientific research team under the leadership of Dr. Jonathan, and carried out an emergency attack on this extremely difficult scientific proposition.
To be honest, the effect was not very good, and in the end it was the wizard who contacted Constantine and used his authority to manipulate the dream level, causing Jason to get a serious illness in the dream and forcibly weakening his mental energy. Then all kinds of neurotoxins that could cause hallucinations were released in the real world, combined with the weakening at the moment of entering the dream, and only then were Jason and Batman barely held down.
It is precisely the use of other means that shows that this group of scientists has completely failed, because these narcissistic and mentally ill people will never admit that they can't do something.
"Wait." When the video reached this point, the main universe Batman said, "So those horrific hallucinations I saw in the sewer..."
"You are most likely poisoned." Scarecrow said bluntly, "We have put the same amount of poison into each safe house. Although the fog will cause certain hallucinations, the poison gas will undoubtedly greatly amplify them."
This finally resolved Batman's doubts, because in the subsequent journey with Poison Ivy, most of the enemies they encountered looked like murderers, tangible and real, but the previous hallucinations were not quite the same.
"The snail is real," Schiller said aloud, "and so is the hallucination you saw."
"That whirlpool town?"
"Yes, but if you have any other ideas, I don't know."
Batman immediately realized that the monsters and hallucinations were real, so the problem might be the experience that made him doubt his common sense and memory, which is very scary to think about now.
Generally speaking, Batman will not doubt himself first when he encounters difficulties. This is the same as Arkham Batman. If they were this kind of people, they would not be so paranoid today.
But when he encountered those hallucinations, Batman actually began to doubt himself first, and Scarecrow also said that the purpose of this poison was to make Arkham Batman doubt himself in his dreams so that he could cooperate with the script to complete the task. Then the Batman of the main universe has every reason to suspect that he has also been tricked.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Scarecrow with lingering fear. He knew that the criminals in this universe might be very strong, otherwise the Batman of this universe would not have to make himself so strong, but he did not expect that this group of lunatics had reached this level of strength.
Again, no matter which universe, if Scarecrow had the ability to use such a direct method to shake Batman, he would have become a villain on the same level as the Joker.
Even if this is a group research project, it only means that they are all roughly on the same level as the Joker.
Even Batman in the main universe was sweating a little.
The Riddler also sighed. He was a very lively person and didn't usually sigh much, but this time he pretended to support his head with his hands and sighed deeply like a child imitating an adult.
"I hate playing games with that guy called Superman." He deliberately made his voice very sharp for emphasis. "You don't know how many times he found me and beat me up. I finally managed to hold him off for so long!"
The Riddler's tone was very aggrieved, and his mission finally began to play on the screen.
To some extent, his task is the most difficult. Others at least break through their limits within the business scope they are familiar with, but he made a direct leap and changed careers, from playing Batman to playing Superman.
Some people may say that Superman has been weakened by Kryptonite and has become an ordinary person. He does not have super physical strength, nor a super brain, and cannot fly. He even suffers from various weak states. It should not be too difficult for the Riddler to hold him back.
But isn’t this just a coincidence? As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Is it really normal for someone to have a “hand and glove” relationship with Batman?
In fact, if we analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to see that many of Superman's actions are inseparable from his powerful abilities. That is to say, when Superman is Superman, some of his actions seem relatively normal. If he were an ordinary person, then I am afraid that truly ordinary people would not think he is normal at all.
For example, the oft-mentioned super brain is not super at all, nor does it look like a brain. In essence, it is because Superman's superpowers give it a large enough tolerance rate. It doesn't matter if he doesn't use his brain, as long as he can achieve his goal by using force to overcome cleverness.
But if you put aside all his superpowers and look at the logic of his actions, you will find that he also has strong personality regression. For example, he thinks in a linear way, asks for opinions when encountering problems, does not listen to the opinions, and punches again when he fails.
His behavior follows a logic that is more like that of an infant, that is, I want it, I get it. It is too primitive and superficial.
Although Superman's spiritual core is not as complex as Batman's, he has nothing to carry and nothing to prove. His theme is absolute justice and righteousness. Although it is unlikely that any real person would be so simple, it more or less shows that his spirit is not that healthy.
To be precise, Superman and Batman are the same in terms of paranoia. It's not that there is any essential difference between one for justice and the other for revenge. In fact, they are still both heroism, but Superman is strong enough, so it seems reasonable.
When the waves recede and it becomes clear whose spirit is running naked, we can discover that the one who should be directed at the laughter most is not Batman and Jason, the two super paranoids, but Superman, the latent paranoid. Because the smoother things go, the more he feels that he is right, the more paranoid he becomes, and the harder it is for him to give up.
The Riddler had speculated that Superman without his superpowers would be difficult to deal with, but he had never imagined he would be so difficult.
Superman's paranoia makes him want to call the police many times, but more often if the Riddler had a bat lantern, he could really call Batman over and grab his collar and shout "Take your gloves away quickly!!!"
There is always a villain who carries the burden for Long Aotian
