Chapter 270 The Terrifying Laughing Demon (Part 1)

In DC comics, there are many origins of the character of the Joker. Initially, before the Joker became popular, he was just an ordinary circus performer, that is, a clown in the true sense.

Later, there was a version of falling into a chemical pool. Of course, the most famous one is the clown of The Killing Joke. As long as anyone has a bad day, he will become a lunatic like a clown.

The more controversial one is the setting of three clowns in a universe. In this setting, the clowns are no longer the only characters, and the three clowns begin to kill each other.

Putting aside the attractive gimmicks, it is possible to have multiple clowns in a universe. After all, the most indispensable thing in Gotham is madmen, and some of them are just crazy and imagine themselves to be a crazy clown. It's not impossible.

On the night of Schiller's first day in Gotham, he determined that there should indeed be multiple clowns in this universe, because on this night, the personality that controlled his body changed to a certain extent.

At the beginning, this change was not obvious, but until Bruce appeared in front of him and looked at him, Schiller became one of the chosen clowns. Therefore, Bruce was interested in him, and he also It's the inevitable mutual attraction between Batman and the Joker that takes an interest in Bruce.

Schiller quickly noticed this change. His "superego" created another personality to replace the clown Schiller, and threw the clown Schiller into the lower floors of his mind palace, allowing him to climb up level by level. , in order to suppress the danger that this crazy personality may cause.

The evolution of the clown is irreversible, so this personality eventually turned into one of the many clowns. However, because he was trapped in Schiller's mind palace and has not climbed out yet, he is not harmful for the time being, but he does Also a clown.

When it comes to the Joker, we have to mention another controversial character, the Laughing Bat.

When this character first appeared on the scene, his origin story was very interesting. That is, the clown in a certain universe had amazing fighting power. He not only killed Catwoman, Gordon and other people who were very important to Batman, but also captured the entire All the parents of only children in the city reenacted the tragedy that happened in Crime Alley again and again in front of Batman.

This inhumane behavior finally drove Batman into madness. He broke the Joker's neck with his own hands, but at the same time, the laughter virus in the Joker's heart infected Batman.

In other words, The Laughing Bat is actually a combination of the Joker and Batman. The story up to this point can be regarded as a quite creative plot, because many DC viewers have thought about what would happen if the Joker and Batman What will happen when we become one?

But later on, this setting began to go further and further away. In order to show how powerful the combination of Batman and the Joker was, the screenwriters began to unscrupulously add many settings to the Laughing Bat that could enhance his character.

Among them, one of the settings that most undermines the story and the style of DC comics is that the Laughing Bat has no plans.

In fact, both Batman and the Joker have very high intelligence settings, especially Batman. As a planning maniac, he almost has backup plans to fight against everyone, and the Joker's implementation process of one crazy joke after another , also reflects his wisdom and execution ability beyond ordinary people.

In order to show the effect of one plus one being greater than two, the screenwriter made the Laughing Bat almost omniscient and omnipotent. Unfortunately, the plot showing this ability can be called far-fetched. The plot of the Laughing Bat's wits can basically be summarized. Because, the Laughing Bat expected something that the other party did, the other party expected that the Laughing Bat expected something that he did, the Laughing Bat expected that the other party expected something that the other party did...

In short, I predict your prediction, I predict your prediction, I predict your prediction and my prediction, and then perform infinite matryoshka dolls.

Therefore, here, I have to solemnly introduce to you——

The crazy destroyer of DC's combat power restraint system, the super dragon Aotian in the American comic book setting, the God whose intelligence and combat power are amazing but never forgets his original goal and his simple wisdom, who is always one step ahead and almost never misses, but He is the great sage who is not doing anything serious, Zhuge Kongming's soul mate, Edogawa Conan's best friend, and the only designated biological father of the DC editorial department - the laughing bat, Wei Yixiao!

Some people used to joke that Mr. Bat was the biological father of the DC editorial department, but now, Wei Yixiao's setting has made people know that the editorial department is probably just Robin adopted by Batman, and the real biological father has just appeared.

You can’t say that the character design of The Laughing Bat is not good, because its origin story is indeed very interesting and satisfies many fans’ fantasies about the relationship between Batman and the Joker. However, as more and more settings are added, the plot becomes more and more outrageous. , the character of the Laughing Bat began to gradually break away from the most attractive style of calm black humor in DC comics, and instead developed towards a refreshing line.

Therefore, Schiller has no favorable impression of this character. If he had to choose between Batman, the Joker and the Laughing Bat, Schiller would rather be surrounded by ten pairs of clowns and Batman than encounter a Laughing Bat. Bat, this is not because of his extraordinary combat power and intelligence, but because he is really boring.

Schiller knew very well that once this kind of character with the attributes of the editor's father appeared in this universe, his peaceful life would be completely over. Although his current life could not be called very peaceful, at least the people around him were interesting.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Cobblepot's inferiority and arrogance are like twin vines, the reasons for the two personalities of Yin Wens and their subsequent development, Alberto's emotional entanglement with the Godfather, Victor's unswerving love until death, etc. Even the clown Jack, who had no source and no clear background story, also told Schiller with a stage performance that he was an interesting enough person.

The Laughing Bat may be very strong, but he is really boring, because everything about him is dark for the sake of darkness. There is no mention of any psychological struggle, black and white opposition, human nature and emotional changes. He is like a piece of paper that is thousands of kilometers long or even able to circle the earth. It may be very long, it may be a miracle, but it is still very thin.

If the villains around Schiller can add a little fun to his peaceful life, then the Laughing Bat is pure disgusting.

Shortly after Schiller came to Gotham, he determined that this universe should be a member of the light multiverse, because the people here have the possibility of turning to the positive, while the dark multiverse is just the opposite, and everyone will eventually fall into the abyss.

Therefore, at the beginning, Schiller did not consider that the Laughing Bat might be born, because there are no conditions for his birth here. In addition to the universe here being biased towards light, the current timeline is too early. Batman has just finished his freshman year, and the Joker has only been on the stage for a few days. The two of them have only fought once, and the victim is still the Court of Owls who deserves it, and it didn't even affect too many onlookers.

Batman has not yet become the wise and suspicious master he is later, and the Joker has not used his genius creations to create all kinds of troubles for Batman. The two of them are far from being mortal enemies.

Perhaps it was Schiller's arrival that brought more order to the city, or perhaps the young Batman was supposed to be matched with a young Joker. In short, the brutal Joker who killed all villains and decent people in the origin story of the Laughing Bat is unlikely to appear, so the Batman who was tortured and killed the Joker is unlikely to appear.

This is Schiller's inference. Even if the Joker really appeared later, he did not waver in his judgment. He believed that there was no soil in this universe for the Laughing Bat to be produced.

But when Jack approached Schiller and told him that there might be a dangerous thing hidden in Batman's body, Schiller was still shaken.

The most critical point is that if there is a slight possibility that the thing Jack mentioned is the Laughing Bat, then who dares to bet on him?

When Jack said that he felt something was hatching in Batman's heart, Schiller's alert value was pulled to the highest. No matter what, the Laughing Bat must not appear in this universe.

When Schiller doubted the Sandman because of his own situation, he had the urge to start a new project, that is, "How to reach the depths of people's hearts with the help of dreams."

This topic is not only to study how to find the Sandman, but also to dig out the possible dangerous thing that Jack said.

After obtaining clues about the immortality factor and successfully making crazy wine, the Joker and Schiller knew that they should take action.

At that time, Schiller and Mrs. Miller said that the Joker called his private phone to make an appointment, in fact, because they needed to confirm the next plan on the phone.

Everyone knows what happened afterwards. Schiller, who was drinking with the Joker in the clinic, deliberately asked the elevator manager to release the Joker Schiller who was still climbing the stairs, and had the first contact with the Joker Jack. Although the Joker Schiller's first reaction was to trick Jack into the room of Schiller's mind palace to go to jail for him, after failing, he also determined that this would be a good partner.

The next step is to put other people into his own thinking space, and then drag Hugo in to test the stability of the whole process, and finally dig down as planned to find the Sandman.

Let the Joker enter the dreamland, there is another more important reason, that is, to allow the Joker to borrow the dreamland from the dreamland and enter Batman's dream.

And digging deeper into Batman's dream, just as Jack expected, at the edge of Batman's dream, inside Bruce's body, there was indeed a monster that no one had ever seen.
