Chapter 1393 The Battle of Ideas
Bruce has been having a terrible time these days. The massacre of criminals on the streets of Gotham and the series of crimes committed by his rebellious son are enough to give him a headache. If it weren't for his tenacity, he would have been exhausted and emotionally broken.
He could bear all these blows, but when he heard the news that his old friend Gordon had defected, it was hard for him to accept it for a while, and he was stunned on the spot.
"Even after suffering inhuman torture from the Joker, he did not lose his mind. He still asked me to bring the Joker to justice instead of killing him privately." Bruce muttered absently: "Why, why would he support you to make it happen?" A massacre of criminals!"
"Maybe it's because the rule that police officers have the right to kill criminals who violently resist the law is reasonable and legal, right?"
Bredlow said calmly: "As the police chief, he knows best how many police officers will die on the job if they are prohibited from shooting the thugs who shot at them. Once such a ban is issued, the next day police officers across the United States will There will be a general strike, because that would be tantamount to sending law enforcement officers to serve as targets for criminals."
"Or maybe..."
As he spoke, Bredlow's expression became gloomy, revealing the evil side of human nature: "He is not as noble as you. Between principles and relatives, he will choose to stick to his principles without hesitation and watch his poor daughter sitting indifferently. Tortured in a wheelchair. You may be a close friend that he admires very much. Well, you are the kind who has slept with his daughter, but Barbara is his daughter after all. You are not willing to be his son-in-law and give him his daughter. Lifelong happiness, as a miserable old father, he can only fight for his daughter."
Bruce was horrified. He didn't know where his son had dug up his scandalous history, and even told it to ridicule him.
Two years ago, after Dick became Nightwing and left Batman, before Barbara was shot by the Joker and broke her spine, she briefly served as Batgirl and partnered with Batman.
During this period, the two fell in love for a long time, and they failed to live up to Barbara's tenderness. The two broke up peacefully, and Barbara chose to quit the Bat-Family and no longer partner with him in action.
Poor Barbara had just come out of love, when the Joker, who was seeking revenge on Batman, broke in and shot her, breaking her spine and paralyzing her lower body.
The Joker did this to lure Bat out of the cave by hurting Batman's relatives and friends and angering him, leading him into a preset trap and playing a "fatal joke" with Batman.
The ending of this incident was the same as before. Even though his old friend Gordon was almost tortured mad by the Joker, and his old friend's daughter Barbara, who had a romantic relationship, was beaten into a cripple, Batman still adhered to his principles and forgave the Joker and sent him away. He was sent to Arkham Asylum for recuperation, and he sincerely offered to help the clown cure his illness so that he could change his ways and return to society.
After being disabled, Barbara was strong, without any resentment, and picked herself up again. With the help of Batman, she became the "oracle" of the home girl, using computer network technology to provide information support to superheroes. Of course, the relationship between her and Batman ended here, without any follow-up.
"Mr. Wayne, as the same scumbag, I am not qualified to judge your behavior of finding a baby mother for me and then giving up. But please at least be realistic and mature. As a big entrepreneur, you should understand Politics, don't be so idealistic.
The police are not justice incarnations or moral models. The essence of the Gotham Police Department is a state violence agency. Its fundamental role is to maintain class rule and national order. It has no emotional color or political tendency, and there is no need to punish the most vicious criminals. Criminals have mercy. "
Damian, the rebellious son, instead educated Bruce like an elder: "Respecting law enforcement officers is common sense for citizens of every country. Once you violate this common sense, you will pay a heavy price. Instead of accusing the super police of being ruthless, it is better to persuade Criminals should be afraid, don’t raise their guns when they see the police next time, and kneel down immediately to surrender to save their lives, which is good for them and others.”
Walking forward, Bradlow jumped up and patted Bruce on the shoulder: "Out of filial piety to my biological father, I issued an order to the super soldiers not to take coercive measures against Batman. You don't have to worry. When you were walking at night, you were inspected by patrolling super soldiers. If you want to save the lives of those criminals, be diligent and go out at night to talk to them and convey the news to them - no more weird bats will play with cats with them. It’s a game of rats, the government is starting to get serious, if you don’t want to die, put down your gun and put your tail between your legs and be a human being.”
"You are trying to turn Gotham into a prison city. The surface calm maintained by harsh punishments is not real peace! Gotham is just the beginning. Your ultimate goal is to transform the Kingdom of Hope into your ideal and strictly guarded city. A police state of order! You have also reached the bottomless abyss. Unlike me who crawled out of it, you indulge in it and enjoy the pleasure of controlling the fate of the weak!"
Bruce said bitterly. He had never been so angry with a person, even the clown. In his heart, he felt more pity for the lunatic who was driven crazy by fate, but the son in front of him really touched his skin. Trying to overturn the beliefs he had held all his life.
In the Injustice branch plot line, after Superman took power, he also dispatched armed special police to Gotham and implemented a blockade and curfew on the city. The citizens of Gotham seemed to have an unusual pursuit of freedom, but they did not like to live with their tail between their legs. During the curfew, they stay at home obediently, but they must cause some trouble and commit crimes to offend the authority of law enforcement to demonstrate their free will to do whatever they want.
The special police dispatched by Superman to such a sensitive area were not properly staffed. They were generally a little too irritable and out of their wits, and they resorted to unprovoked violence against citizens who committed petty thefts or went out at night in violation of curfew orders. This intensified the conflict and angered Batman, making him Decided to form a team to resist the tyranny of Superman.
"Is it so difficult to ask the honest citizens of Gotham not to shoot at the police? This kind of request is a joke to the truly honest people of China."
Bredlow frowned and asked: "Even in the Hope Country, public opinion is generally supportive. As evidenced by the law enforcement recorders carried by the super soldiers, any counterattack is based on the premise that the criminals shoot first, and there are even many The super soldier only took out his gun to kill him after he was shot. What’s even better is that almost all the criminals who were shot were white, so there was no issue of racial discrimination. After the release of the law enforcement records and videos, all the people in the country were shocked. You believe that the criminals who were shot were innocent of their deaths, so why do you and the Gotham citizens you protect feel that it violated the criminals’ human rights and restricted the freedom of the people of Gotham to commit crimes?”
The ideological battle will never come to an end. Bruce concluded that his ambitious son was lost in the pursuit of supreme power. Sooner or later, he would step on countless corpses and be crowned a dictator who relied on supreme power to control the destiny of all people. What's even more frightening is that, unlike many straightforward villain bosses, his methods are more subtle and deceptive, so much so that even in face-to-face confrontation, Bruce can't defend his heresies.
In a sense, he really knows his son better than his father. Bradlow is not a good bird to begin with. As Batman's keen intuition predicts, he is the man who wants to become the master of the earth!
However, even if Bruce is anxious, he is currently being eaten up by this cunning traitor, and he can't think of a way to expose his mask, let the world recognize his ambition, and bring him to justice and send him to Arkham for acceptance. Thought transformation.
There is no doubt that the ranking of the blacklist of Bruce's mortal enemies has changed. The clown has dropped one place, and his son who was born out of nowhere has climbed to the top.
