486 The Clown Who Doesn't Smile
"Ha~ha~"
The clown's smile began to shrink the moment he laughed, until the sound completely fell and his smile disappeared.
The face was only pale and serious, and Batman could no longer see any trace of the Joker from this face.
Batman looked at the Joker, his muscles tensing.
He had never seen the guy in front of him show such a serious expression, a clown who couldn't laugh?
This represents unfamiliarity!
Why does Batman feel strange to the Joker?
Chaos arose in Batman's heart, and chaos also brought fear!
Could the Joker be powerful enough to crush him?
Could the Joker have already implemented some conspiracy, and everything dangerous is happening under his nose?
Is the clown planning to play another game, just like that line in the movie? I want to play a game with you?
A series of questions kept arising from Batman's heart, and the sense of confusion made his brain a little hot!
"Batman, how long can you stay true to yourself?"
If the Joker in the past saw Batman like this, he would definitely have a good laugh.
But the tone he spoke at this time was like a serious dean of students, and the cruelty in his eyes had been replaced by a sense of responsibility.
There’s nothing clownlike about this look!
It's not funny at all!
Not even fatal at all!
With such seriousness, Batman even suspected that everything he met today was an illusion, a dream!
But the courage and anger that grew along with panic and fear reminded him that he was no longer that ordinary person.
Even though he still retains that pure and noble "ordinary person" heart!
Although his status as the owner of Wayne Group has made him extraordinary, his position has never changed!
"I can keep it until the day you all die!"
Batman was a little nervous, feeling as if everything about him was being seen through by the guy in front of him.
That look made Batman feel uneasy for a long time!
There seemed to be sparks flashing in his eyes under the mask, but it was too deep and he couldn't see it himself, while the clown acted as if nothing happened!
"Are you afraid? Honestly, when have you ever felt fearless?"
The Joker took a few steps forward and came face to face with Batman, who was taller and stronger than him.
The Joker wants to know why Batman thinks everyone else is crazy?
As he often says, he thinks a guy who stays up late at night wearing a bat suit and fighting around is a psychopath!
At least such people are not normal!
Serious clown?
"Who are you anyway?"
Batman's heart began to beat wildly and unsatisfactorily. He felt from the Joker's body the aura similar to that of Azmodan that he had felt from the gate of the Holy Mountain!
Isn’t that a clown in front of me?
This is impossible!
The clown has known him for too long!
The guy in front of him can be seen from his appearance and his little movements, and it is undoubtedly the clown himself.
That pale face!
That skin full of traces of chemical dye residue!
And the hysteria in the chaos!
"I am the clown, I can be Joe Cole, Jock, or Jack!"①
The smile disappeared from the clown's face, and these words should have been expressed with a crazy smile.
The tone should be arrogant and full of inexplicable feelings!
Instead of just stating the facts coldly like now!
It’s just that this sentence seems to be unfinished!
Batman really felt the panic in his heart!
He even admitted that he was panicking!
Will the clown who can't laugh become the clown's favorite joke?
Although his body did not tremble and his eyes did not become trance-like, he knew very well that he had lost his usual calmness.
The clown in front of him is the one he is familiar with!
Including the purple suit and the dark green hair! And that tone full of bewitching power!
But the clown isn't laughing!
The fear caused by this abnormality began to spread!
"How long have we known each other?"
The clown calmly arranged his suit and tie like a gentleman on the street.
He spoke as naturally as an Englishman would talk about the weather!
He gently took out a comb from his pocket and arranged his hair style elegantly.
"I don't know, maybe a few years?"
Batman said this, his expression became a little ugly.
He was even silent for a moment before speaking!
He has never been like this before, even if it is a villain who cannot be convinced, he will just find another way to convince him.
Instead of being silent like this now!
The Joker looked at Batman in front of him and twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to smile. But the corner of the mouth finally returned to its original place!
"So now you, Batman! Do you know how old you are?"
The clown put the comb back in his pocket and said in a godfather-like tone.
That kind of condescending, graceful, elegant and leisurely tone!
This question is not difficult for anyone. Even if you can't remember the exact age, you can still have a rough idea.
But Batman's face turned pale at this moment!
"Over forty? No!"
Batman's brain is running fast, and he is mumbling like a murmur!
He is constantly retrieving his memories from his mind!
He still remembers the day his parents died! They watched the movie "Zorro" which had just been released, and the tragedy happened on the way home!
Such a deep memory makes it impossible for him to forget it!
"The movie "Zorro" was released twice in 1920 and 1925. So Batman, answer me a question, how old are you now?"
The Joker's voice was full of a sense of coercion in an instant, and he seemed to be able to express his emotions and thoughts without any emotional changes.
It was more like being able to hear those questions from Batman's heart, and directly gave the standard answer!
This year is 2011, and Batman is at least close to a hundred years old! ②
It seems that the Joker doesn't need to continue introducing more things.
Batman finally realized these things were wrong, and finally knew the truth about how old he was!
The fear was unprecedentedly strong, but it immediately merged into Batman's body!
He is the pinnacle of human will! He is a hero who never gives up! He is the existence that truly defeats the gods of the world with a mortal body!
Fear has long been integrated with him during this long period of time!
And the Joker watched the fear being absorbed by Batman's body bit by bit, and finally there was a little smile on his face!
Then madness appeared in his eyes again!
At this time, in the kingdom of the dead.
Death was leaning against his throne in a girlish posture, and a smile finally appeared on his face!
That smile from the beauty of life after the balance between life and death!
She gave the extra power of death to Tyrael, and she also reached the original appearance of the power of life!
She waited!
Waited for the existence that can be truly relied on among those who recalled that battle!
Even though the Superman with golden light all over his body has been swallowed by eternity! Even though Darkseid has become a part of the destruction in the hands of Annihilation!
But she still waited!
The death of the DC world and the death of the Marvel world live together for similar goals!
To make life truly free, they chose the same path!
At this moment, she waited for the awakening of a powerful hero!
From this moment on, she no longer needs to be like a scavenger, collecting souls who recall the past everywhere!
Batman, can do better!
And there is a clown beside him!
The clown is an out-and-out lunatic. Most people will remain skeptical of his words except for his little pumpkin!
Just like Rorschach, all his truths will become lies in the operation of some guys, and become the unwarranted delusion of a madman!
And the clown is not facing the power of SHIELD to erase the traces, but death has been silently doing the finishing work there!
Now it is finally not needed!
At this time, in the interrogation room of the Gotham City Police Department, waves of illusory power spread from the clown!
Shrouded the entire Gotham City Police Department!
At this time, the only people who can stay awake are the Joker and Batman!
"Batman, or Mr. Bruce Wayne! We are both nearly a hundred years old, but have you ever realized it before?
You never thought that there was anything wrong with you from only being able to use a phone booth to carrying electronic products with you now, and you never thought that there was anything wrong with you coming back from traveling from time to time.
You never even thought that your butler Alfu had reached the limit of normal life. But he is still alive! Now, are you finally awake?"
The Joker's voice was hoarse, and it seemed to have an echo!
"Joker, you know all this but you didn't tell me even a word before!"
Anger began to emerge on Batman's body, and the red flames enveloped the dark black bat suit, and the cloak kept shaking with the wind!
"It's just a joke, but I didn't expect you to take so long to think about such a joke, and even need me to give a reference answer!
If you were so stupid when facing the Riddler, then the Riddler would have gotten what he wanted long ago."
As the Joker said this, a huge demon shadow slowly emerged behind him!
Wayne knew that guy!
In the knowledge given to him by his ancestors!
The King of Lies! Billy!
"Are you still the Joker? Or have you already fallen into another deadly enough joke!?"
Wayne took out a thick hammer in his hand and hung the legendary Fear Cast Iron on his waist!
Rage penetrated his high-tech bat suit and rose from his body with aggressiveness!
"Haha, that guy's joke is too old-fashioned, not funny at all."
The Joker showed a very forced smile on his face, as if he was annoyed by Billy's "joke", so he was a little helpless about what happened during that time.
As the devil of lies, Billy's words certainly have a strong ability to seduce, and are full of logic, and are good at guiding in various aspects.
But the lies of normal people can only deceive normal people, smart people will see through the lies and sneer at him, and fools sometimes won't listen to him.
And the madman will go in another direction!
The clown is one of the craziest people in the world!
Billy's consciousness and soul were killed in a fatal joke!
Who made Billy a liar?
Lies can never deny the existence of lies, otherwise he would deny his own essence!
And the truth and falsehood confused by lies are meaningless to a madman.
The clown is chaotic! True and false, good and evil have no value to him!
He only wants an interesting and the most "real" world!
But madmen can deny everything! Admit everything! Because this is how they perceive this world!
They are all the kings of their own worlds!
So in this philosophical struggle, Billy only has the status of the devil of hell and the authority of truth, falsehood and lies!
The new king of lies is not a smart man who is extremely rational, but a guy who is both smart and crazy!
The Joker!
"That guy was quite interesting when he was with me. At least he could always tell some jokes to make me laugh, although the more he said, the less interesting it became. Until I couldn't get a smile out of him anymore."
The Joker slowly explained to Wayne in front of him, and the shadow of the devil behind him solidified little by little!
He has done what Billy has always wanted to do, which is to confuse truth and falsehood.
Truth and falsehood have become one, and such power is strong enough.
"He always said that he would put away the humble illusion and show the true body of the devil of hell. Look behind me, that guy is what he called the 'true body', which almost made me laugh!
This was the last joke he told me, which made me laugh heartily.
He is just a lowly ant, but he always dreams of becoming a god? In my opinion, he is not as interesting as you. Bruce Wayne, I will invite you to participate in a game. Will you choose to stop me at that time? Or will you stand on my side?"
The corners of the Joker's mouth slowly opened, and the wound at the corner of his mouth began to ooze blood slowly!
And Wayne put the hammer in his hand on his waist, slowly bent his knees, and raised his right leg.
With both hands clasped on the belt, the anger has begun to transmit high temperature!
In Wayne's perception, he and the Joker have left the Gotham City Police Station, and there is no bystander around at this time!
And he will defeat the guy in front of him as usual!
Trampling the earth·Trembling trampling!
The moment his feet stepped on the ground, his anger erupted again!
Landslides and volcanic eruptions!
The legendary power of cast iron!
Trampling the earth is the key to activating this power, and after opening the door, the surging power of landslides and earth-shattering surges out!
But these two powers are only a flash!
Because a barbarian with blue wings on his back is standing here with a nut hammer!
Rorschach!
The watcher, justice, and uncompromising Rorschach!
