In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1014: The scarecrow is bad luck (Part 2)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
Jonathan was choked again, and froze in place. His real environment told him that what Batman said was true, but there was another set of imagination in his mind, which was his original plan.
The villains in Gotham all have a characteristic, especially a series of high-intelligence criminals headed by the Joker, Scarecrow, Two-Faced Man, and Riddler. They are very good at creating a contradiction between two ends to allow Batman to break through.
To put it simply, it is the trolley problem, choose one or two? Choose the rich or choose the poor? Choose male or female? Choose the old or choose the young?
Of course, there is no correct answer to this kind of question, no matter which one you choose is wrong, or in other words, no matter which Batman chooses, these villains have their own set of fallacies to point out that Batman mistake.
This is why, many readers of comics will feel that Batman always seems a little powerless when faced with such multiple-choice questions, and his handling methods are also a bit rough. In fact, it is because Batman has long known that this It's a trap from beginning to end, and it doesn't make sense which one to choose.
This is actually just a one-sided torture, not a duel, and this time, Jonathan also intends to do so.
He knew that Batman would definitely be able to find out that someone had poisoned Gotham's drinking water source, and with Batman's means, sooner or later his residence would be tracked down, so Jonathan was waiting here for him , waiting to start this feast of torture.
At the beginning, the disappearance of people in the Mawson neighborhood allowed the fledgling Batman to see the cruelty and inhumanity of these serial killers. Jonathan knew that this must have left a deep impression on him, so, His first move is to mobilize Batman's nerves and drive him into a rage.
If it was the original Batman, after hearing Jonathan's proud and proud speech instead of shame, he would definitely feel angry, even if he didn't show it for a while, the anger would definitely gather in his heart.
Then, Jonathan will tell Batman the truth about Gotham's rain. Regardless of whether Batman already knows the truth, Jonathan must emphasize it, because the next step is the beginning of the real show.
Because of the anger accumulated before, when Jonathan provoked Batman and asked him to arrest himself, Batman had a high probability of attacking him, which was very consistent with Jonathan's psychological profile of Batman.
Even if it wasn't this little bat, but the scheming Batman, it would be easy to break his leg in the face of such an arrogant criminal.
【To tell the truth, I have recently followed up and changed, switched sources, and there are many voices for reading aloud, both Android and Apple are acceptable. 】
Jonathan is looking forward to Batman coming to beat him. Of course, he is not a **** like the Joker, nor does he have extraordinary resilience. At least so far, the Scarecrow is indeed just an ordinary university professor without any superpowers. .
And when Batman rushed up and beat him half to death, Jonathan would tell Batman the truth, it was not a poison but an antidote, it was not destroying Gotham, but saving Gotham.
Perhaps psychologists have something in common. They are too good at exploiting the weakness of human emotions. If Jonathan had to name his torture this time, he would definitely say "Guilty, it's a good thing." knife".
The criminals and poisoners that Batman thought were actually vigilantes and saviors just like him. There is no distinction between their actions, but in terms of results, what Jonathan did was more effective. .
The Scarecrow is indeed a genius. The hallucinogenic drug he developed can not only fight against the toxins in the rainwater in the human body, but even establish permanent antibodies for most people.
As long as the toxins in the rainwater do not mutate, after this incident of citizens going crazy, the vast majority of Gotham people will be immune to the toxins in the rainwater, and at the same time, this antibody will be written into the genes Among them, it will be handed down forever.
And if the other party changes the toxin in the rainwater, the scarecrow can also use the same principle to develop a corresponding antidote and build up antibodies again, and then there will be an infinite involution moment.
Based on this foundation, Jonathan knew that if Batman seriously injured him, he might not necessarily feel guilty. After all, those citizens who became experimental subjects were innocent, and Jonathan was indeed a murderer , deserved to be punished.
But Batman will definitely suffer a lot, because in order to save Gotham, he must keep Jonathan to deal with the possible coming mutant toxins, that is to say, he must personally rescue his most hated criminal, and he must rescue Jonathan as soon as possible. , can be called anxious.
A self-proclaimed savior finds that he has done more and better than a criminal.
And for that illusory goal, Batman had to go with the criminals, had to send the half-dead criminals beaten by him to the hospital, and spend money to treat him, and it was because of his impulsiveness and recklessness .
The inner torment that Batman has suffered along the way is the most beautiful music for Jonathan.
But things didn't develop according to his imagination at all.
Batman seemed to have suddenly changed from a tiger to a house cat. From entering the door to sitting down to negotiating, he never raised a fist, and he was calmer than Jonathan.
Even, Jonathan felt a formulaic coping strategy in him, as if he had rehearsed this scenario countless times, or he had really encountered this scenario countless times.
Batman is as proficient as an old farmer sitting in the field breaking a bag of rice, with a kind of self-confidence left in his body movements after repeated work all year round, and a boring expression.
Jonathan even felt that some of Batman's speeches were like muscle memory, without any delay, without a thinking process, and he blurted out directly, telling Jonathan, hurry up to the next link, than The host who urged the process at the wedding was still in a hurry.
Jonathan didn't understand what was going on, the stage and lines he carefully prepared, the superb acting skills he had practiced in advance, were of no use, and Batman told him with all his movements and eyes, He was already tired of watching this scene.
Actually, Jonathan's level of performance is stable. This performance can be regarded as one of Gotham's high-IQ villains, which is relatively distinctive and perfectly executed.
First of all, he took advantage of his professional characteristics. He used his professional expertise as a chemist to create a chronic toxin and put it into Gotham's water source, allowing the citizens of Gotham to accumulate enough water due to years of drinking. medicinal properties.
After bursting out for a short time, tying the toxins in the rain, creating the chaos that tends to be seen in the climax of comics, and then leading Batman to his place again, here comes A deep dialogue that often appears at the end of comics.
If there is no accident, the next scene should be Batman standing on the roof of the building, looking at the ambulance in the distance. The last scene is fixed on Batman's face. Painful, deep thought revealed in the eyes, a comic is finished like this.
But if there are no accidents, there must be accidents. Schiller caused Batman to have too many accidents. Although it caused him to have accidents now, it also implicated Jonathan, causing him to have even bigger accidents. Accident.
Jonathan's design idea is good, and his level is stable. If I have to say where he is wrong, it is that the power bar is too long and he came a little late.
The clown Schiller and the clown Jack, this pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes, have played mixed doubles against Batman for four years. Coupled with the personal enmity that Arrogant Schiller did not mix a bit of teaching, Batman touched in the difficulty of hell. After four years of crawling and rolling, accidents happen wherever they go, and as soon as something happens, Schiller, the clown Schiller, and the clown Jack will appear on stage in turn.
Even Batman in his late forties would only deal with multiple clowns for a period of time at most, and most of the time, he would only play with one clown.
But the Batman in this world is different. At the same time, there are at least two clowns, and these two clowns not only get along harmoniously, but also cooperate with each other. Not only can they cooperate, but they also complement each other.
The clown Schiller is good at hiding behind the scenes and planning a big event, and then leave a gap for the clown Jack to play on the stage. Performance.
As for the arrogant Schiller, he can always help the scene by the side. Before the event starts, he scolds Batman for a while. During the incident, he finds time to scold Batman for a while. During the interval, he still chased Batman to ask for papers, and if Batman didn't hand it in, he would scold Batman again.
So much so that until now, Batman still feels that the cooperation between Schiller the Clown and Jack the Clown is to prevent him from handing in the paper.
So, up to now, even if Batman has not experienced the baptism of iron and blood in **** and cultivated a cold and decisive military temperament, Jonathan's scene is really difficult to satisfy him.
In the past, the sea was too difficult for water, and Jonathan was not even considered Huanhuan, because Chun Yuan was not only still alive, but also living more and more.
Looking at the self-defense Jonathan, Batman seemed to lose his patience, he said directly:
"Many people say, I am a mental patient, you say that, Schiller says that, and Jack says that too."
"I took a prescription yesterday and went to Arkham Psychiatric Hospital to get the medicine. It is a medicine for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. You should know what it is."
"After taking the medicine, I felt much better, and then I found that you are more abnormal than me. You are like this, Schiller is like this, and so is Jack."
"You always pay too much attention to me, as if my reaction can determine the direction of your future life."
"The reason why you didn't repent and feel no guilt when I caught you in prison is also because ~IndoMTL.com~ was the one that put you in."
"Because it proves that I'm paying attention to you, I'm projecting a lot of attention on you, and you're ecstatic about it, and that excitement masks the anger, frustration, and guilt, making it a reward .”
Batman shook his head and said: "Although this may be a bit late, I still suggest you to take medicine. I tried it, and the effect is good. At least it relieved my hyperactive insomnia."
Jonathan was completely stunned, he just stared at Batman with his eyes wide open and his body bent.
But Batman looked at him with those blue eyes and said: "If what you say is true, that the hallucinogen you put in can detoxify the rainwater, then you really did It's a good thing."
But Jonathan suddenly reacted. In just a few seconds, his eyes were filled with tears. He looked at Batman, stretched out his hand and grabbed his neck, and yelled as he stepped back: "No !No! Shut up! Shut up!!!”
But Batman said to himself: "The citizens of Gotham can't thank you now, but I am also a member of Gotham, so... thank you."
Ten minutes later, Gordon rushed in, only to see Jonathan fainted on the ground, he looked at Batman in surprise, and said: "Your skills of knocking people out are really getting more and more proficient, here even There is not even a trace of a fight, and there is no scar on his head and neck. The skill is superb, Batman."
"I didn't knock him out, he should be in a nervous coma." Batman still stood there, watching Jonathan's posture on the ground, he pursed his lips, and then said to himself:
"Also, I seem to know why Schiller can't wake up."
