Chapter 415 Batman Surrenders
The joker's crazy behavior in Gotham City made even the gang bosses feel fear and panic.
Batman finally realized the dangers of this madman. As the butler Alfred once told him, not all evil people do bad things for profit. There are also some madmen who simply enjoy the process of destruction and chaos. and feeling.
Their purpose is to drag the entire world into a chaotic purgatory.
Now, Batman in the video is facing a very difficult choice. At the same time, Attorney General Harvey Dent is using lynching in an attempt to torture more information from one of Joker's captured men. intelligence.
It's just that the name of Harvey Dent, the Bright Knight, has also spread, and villains all know that it's not difficult to deal with such a righteous good guy.
Even if he is caught, he will at most be beaten, but he will not lose his life.
This is why gangsters like Maroni would rather be tortured by Batman than reveal the specific information about the joker. Gentlemen can bully them.
However, Harvey Dent, the Knight of Light, was already cornered. He took out his revolver and excitedly pressed it against the criminal's forehead.
The dim light shines on his handsome face, half of it is bright, and the other half is hidden in darkness.
"You think I won't kill you?"
He repeated a few words with a gloomy face, and suddenly retracted the gun, "No, no, it's not me who decides your life or death."
Harvey Dent said and took out another coin. It was obvious that he planned to use the coin to decide the life and death of the other party. If it was the head side, the criminal would live, but if it was the numbers side, the criminal would have to die. die!
From his gloomy face, it was easy to see that Harvey Dent was definitely serious. Under the horrified and inexplicably excited eyes of the criminal, Harvey Dent threw the coin into the sky, took a glance at it, and saw that it was Head.
When the criminal saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile on his face, but he heard Harvey Dent add coldly: "Do it again."
He immediately collapsed and cried: "I don't know anything, don't come!"
"This game is not up to you, friend." Harvey Dent gave him a cold look, and then threw the silver coin into the air again.
Seeing this scene, many viewers sighed.
When Harvey Dent used the law as a criterion to curb crime and uphold justice, many viewers, especially Gotham viewers, were inexplicably excited and felt that he was indeed the Bright Knight of Gotham City.
What Batman does can only be called a vigilante, and the system and mainstream public opinion cannot recognize it. But Harvey Dent is different, because people naturally succumb to authority, so top-down reform can Gain recognition from elites, middle and upper classes of all parties.
As a result, it now seems that this bright knight within the system has embarked on the same path of no return as Batman?
No, Batman at least still adheres to the principle of not killing people, but Harvey Dent is already planning to kill people.
Harvey Dent was unmoved by the criminal's cry and threw the coin into the sky indifferently, but this time it did not fall. There was someone in the darkness - Batman, who grabbed the coin first. .
Gubi "You want to bet a human life?"
Batman said in a deep voice: "His name is Shiv Thomas. He suffers from schizophrenia and was once a patient in a mental hospital. The Joker specially chooses this kind of person to work for him. What can you get out of him?"
Harvey Dent frowned and said: "Joker killed Gordon, and now he is planning to kill Rachel!"
Batman stared at him seriously: "You symbolize hope and light, but I will never be able to. Your resolute attitude in fighting criminal groups is the first light of law in Gotham City. Once someone sees this scene, what will you do?" Everything you do will be in vain, the criminals who fell into your hands will be acquitted, and Jim Gordon's blood will be shed in vain."
His reminder was serious and thoughtful, and it really hit the point.
In fact, just now, many gangsters or people with evil intentions who watched this video began to clamor. Harvey Dent, as the Attorney General, actually surrendered. This is undoubtedly the sacred The law is underfoot.
Some people who don't know the reason are really susceptible to similar confusion. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the distinction and debate between procedural justice and consequential justice.
Batman's justice is the justice of the result. It doesn't matter what the process is. Of course, except for the commandment to kill, even the commandment not to kill can be flexibly swayed.
But for ordinary people and the masses, procedural justice is more important than result justice, because you have no idea how the result came about.
Think about it, if the laws in society were based on the justice of the results, what would the world look like?
Scenes like those where you are beaten into a trick will continue to happen. If you were taken away by the police one day without doing anything, and after a severe beating, they directly charged you with a felony and sentenced you to ten or twenty years, would you accept it?
Therefore, procedural justice is actually to ensure that the interests of most ordinary people are not violated. This is why Batman still encounters some resistance and disapproval when fighting crime in Gotham.
But having said that, Gotham is already as bad as this. Does it really make any difference whether the procedure is just or the result is just?
The most important thing is to see the dawn of justice. Even the most basic conditions are not met and they are still picky. Some regional cities with equally bad security environment wish they could have a vigilante like Batman. Guard their safety.
However, Bruce Wayne himself also realized that the existence of 'Batman' might be inappropriate, and he planned to end things with Joker.
Let Harvey Dent host a press conference tomorrow, at which time Bruce Wayne will publicly announce that he is Batman and surrender.
"The future of Gotham City is in your hands."
Batman said as he handed the lucky coin back to Harvey Dent.
When Commissioner Gordon saw this, he frowned and said, "Is there no other way? Is Batman really going to be forced into this by Joker? Bruce, I respect and admire your choice, but to be honest, you Really surrendering may make some people feel relieved, but at the same time it will definitely make other people angry, because justice finally lost to crime!”
Before Bruce Wayne spoke, Peter Parker was a little surprised: "It's just a press conference, why would it have such serious consequences?"
