Chapter 449: The Idol’s Taunting

Hot Recommendation:

Obviously, cutting social basic welfare is a stupid move, and Sheriff Gordon thinks it shouldn't be done.

Peter Parker agrees with him, "Yes, basic welfare facilities can make people see hope and have a positive attitude towards life, rather than choosing more radical ways to retaliate against society.

Arthur... If the people and environment around him could be better, maybe he wouldn't have fallen into the joker, which is really a pity."

Bruce Wayne frowned and said, "The government cuts the budget, there must be a financial problem. If Thomas... my father becomes the mayor, these basic welfare facilities will definitely continue to exist."

Sheriff Gordon nodded and said, "At least in our world, Thomas has indeed made a lot of contributions to Gotham. Many of Gotham's basic welfare facilities were built with his financial support."

Of course, he can only be sure of Thomas Wayne in his world. As for whether Thomas Wayne in Arthur's world can do these good things, judging from the video just now, I'm afraid there is a question mark.

In the video, Arthur is preparing to perform on stage, but he has not forgotten his dream-to become an outstanding and successful stand-up comedian.

His girlfriend Sophie was also among the audience. When Arthur came on stage, he had no time to introduce himself before he suddenly fell ill and laughed non-stop.

There were also scattered laughter from the audience, but more of the audience was still puzzled. Even if you are a comedian, what's the big deal if you can't stop laughing before you tell a joke?

Arthur laughed so hard that his throat hurt. He tried hard to suppress the impulse and slowly calmed down after a long time. He finished the first joke, which was not funny. The audience was very quiet, but Arthur himself laughed happily. This time he was not ill, but he really thought his joke was funny.

His girlfriend Sophie was very considerate and smiled at him. Arthur was encouraged and took out his notebook and turned to a certain page: "Let's do something funny. I was just thinking the other day, why are rich people always..."

The video did not give the specific joke Arthur said, but the audience was very enthusiastic, with constant applause and laughter. It seemed that Arthur's performance was very successful, perhaps because he grasped the point that the people of Gotham City are concerned about at the moment - the reason for the gap between the rich and the poor.

After the performance, he went on a date with his girlfriend. On the way, Arthur saw a newspaper about the subway shooting case, which said that the murderer was still at large. Arthur made a face at the wanted bounty portrait of the Joker in the newspaper.

His girlfriend Sophie noticed this and asked him: "Do you believe what they said? Go to hell, I think this person is a hero!"

This person is of course the murderer. Arthur was very happy to hear this. He longed for the attention of others, and even more longed for the recognition of others, especially the people he loved.

Then, Arthur saw people wearing clown masks on the side of the road. They were obviously imitating the murderer of the subway shooting. This case was a trigger. The huge gap between the rich and the poor in Gotham eventually triggered some problems, making the lower-class people support the murderer rather than the victim.

In any case, Arthur was in a good mood that day. After returning home, he danced with his mother, but soon, his good mood ended because he peeked at the letter his mother wrote to Thomas Wayne.

The audience had already watched this video in advance. Someone immediately shook his head with regret: "Arthur is so miserable. He finally got a little better in life, but he always encountered bigger problems."

"To be honest, I feel like I'm going crazy. I actually think that a madman like Joker deserves sympathy and understanding... Maybe Joker is right. Madness has gravity. It only takes a slight push for a person to fall."

"Arthur was not pushed gently, he was kicked into the abyss with force. To be honest, if his situation could be better, the tragedy that followed would not have happened."

"Can you stop being a saint? In any case, this is not an excuse or reason for Joker's madness and terrorist behavior! In my opinion, he should be killed and not put in a mental hospital!"

"Batman didn't kill Joker, so why do you kill people? If the legal procedures are followed, Joker will really be put in a mental hospital!"

The audience had a heated discussion. They also knew some subsequent plot developments. Arthur went to Thomas Wayne to verify his life experience, but he got a more tragic lesson.

During this process, the impact of the subway shooting case has intensified. Many people marched and protested against Thomas Wayne.

When watching this video before, many viewers did not quite understand it, but now they can fully understand it. Thomas Wayne's remarks in the TV interview and his cold attitude towards Arthur show that he is not a good person worthy of hope.

Arthur's mother suddenly became seriously ill and was sent to the hospital by 120, which may be related to Arthur's previous questioning of her about her life experience.

Arthur followed the car to the hospital to take care of his mother. His girlfriend Sophie accompanied him and gave him comfort and support. When his girlfriend left, Arthur saw the Murray Show on the TV in the ward.

When he heard Murray's jokes, Arthur also laughed, but soon, he couldn't laugh anymore because he saw himself on the show.

Murray dug out a video of Arthur performing on stage at a comedy club. At that time, Arthur had a seizure on stage and couldn't control his laughter.

This video should have attracted some attention in the circle, so Murray brought it up on the show and took the opportunity to mock it.

Arthur looked at the TV screen silently, expressionless, and his eyes seemed to have a cold murderous look, which frightened even the audience outside the light screen video.

They found that this part was not included in the previous video about whether Arthur was Batman's brother.

In addition, the audience also found another point: "Look, don't you think Arthur's childhood photos look a lot like Bruce Wayne?"

After Arthur got his mother's medical records, there was information about her adoption of Arthur, and there were also photos of Arthur when he was a child. The previous video did not show it. This time, watching it again, it really looks like Bruce Wayne!

"Is it possible that Arthur is indeed Thomas Wayne's illegitimate son, but because of his bad influence, he was abandoned by Thomas Wayne, and then Arthur's mother was given a mental illness certificate?"

"Wow, this is really not impossible. Thomas Wayne is rich and powerful, he can do this!"

"Come on, the previous video has made it very clear, don't think too much, Arthur's mother is just delusional!"chaptere
