Laughing American comics, I am becoming more and more like a clown

Chapter 31 Because I am Batman

"Bruce, this is sincerity."

On a narrow street in Gotham's Berleley district, the street lights are dim and the exterior walls of the houses are mottled.

Superman takes Batman to a house and leaves.

The room was dimly lit, with the light bulb broken and unable to provide any light. The only light came from the computer, which was clearly out of place in the room.

As Batman approaches, Luthor's face appears on the screen.

Instead of letting Superman continue to act as a messenger, he decided to have a direct conversation. He looked directly at Batman with a serious and solemn look:

"I want to work with you."

"Kill the Joker?" Batman still retains the ability to turn a question into an affirmative sentence.

Luther was a little surprised. He thought he had not revealed such thoughts at all.

"Because I'm Batman."

Well, this sentence is more convincing.

There is no need for trust between smart people, what they have is tacit understanding.

Luthor was about to ask him what he needed, but Batman continued, "Give up. He can't die."

So Luther had to ask: "Why?"

"You can try." He didn't explain.

But Luthor also gave up the idea and talked about the second thing: "Let 'Batman' be killed by the Joker."

That is, Batman died at the hands of the Joker.

"Give me the Joker's spine."

"make a deal."

Batman took the canister from Superman, which contained a clear liquid and a pale spine.

"I haven't figured out anything." Luther said with a look of regret: "Even if I transfer it to someone else's body, it won't work."

He didn't ask Batman what he wanted this thing for, and Batman didn't mean to explain, he just said:

"You're still trying to kill the Joker."

"That's right." Luther smiled slightly. "When Batman dies, the Joker will soon disappear... Of course, it's also possible that a Joker hero will appear in Gotham."

Luthor somehow learned of the Joker's strange relationship with Batman and used this to make the Joker no longer exist.

Batman agreed.

In the current situation, Batman's identity is more of an obstacle, bringing bad luck to Wayne, causing riots in Gotham, and fermenting public opinion.

For a superhero, having his identity exposed is a very dangerous thing, especially when he is already a celebrity who is the focus of everyone's attention.

For Batman, this identity neither allows him to become an agent of fear again nor allows him to cooperate with the government to become a legitimate hero.

Although retaining his identity would give him convenience in some aspects, giving it up is not unacceptable.

The only problem is that when "Batman" dies, the "Bruce Wayne" he is bound to will also die.

"Aren't we going to Arkham?!"

Lucien watched as the clown laughed and drove the car in an unusually bumpy manner.

"Why are you racing!?"

The clown whistled, "I've been wanting to do this for a long time! Such a nice car... I should hit it with something!"

After a loud noise, the Batmobile overturned the police car on the side of the road and drove away without stopping.

"Moreover!"

"Haha! Boy, don't you notice someone is chasing us?"

Lucien wanted to look out the car window, but the Joker had scratched all the glass with props before driving. Lucien couldn't see anything and replied in disbelief:

"How could I possibly find out!"

"You have to see what you can see clearly!" The clown laughed.

"What the hell can I see?!"

"You can see me clearly!"

Lucian looked at "Lucian", narrowed his eyes, and gradually approached, until the pupils of the two people were touching.

"Hey! I can't see clearly!" the clown protested.

"Tell me how to see me clearly and leave immediately!" Lucian threatened bluntly.

The illusion is an illusion because it is translucent and does not even block your vision if you concentrate.

But the clown acted as if he couldn't see anything at all. The car was twisting and turning, but he wasn't worried at all. He smiled and said, "I haven't felt such an adrenaline rush in a long time!"

"Haha! That's it! Let's all be killed!"

Lucien pulled back and frowned at him, shocked.

The Joker today is completely different from the gentleman, weird and elegant one he is familiar with. He has been like this ever since he got on the car. He is more like a madman than a madman and more like a psychopath than a psychopath.

Sometimes Lucien couldn't communicate with him normally.

He could only attribute it to: "Are you so excited to see Batman soon?"

"You don't understand! You don't understand!" The clown stepped hard on the accelerator: "This is a game! This is our last game!"

Lucien was confused.

Did I miss something?

Why did you suddenly become so crazy?

"Baby! Listen to me! When this is over, you will be the real protagonist!"

"I don't understand!"

"You watch!"

"I'm not watching!"

The clown suddenly stepped on the brakes and swerved the steering wheel. With the screeching sound of tires scraping across the asphalt, he successfully completed a drift. "Fun!"

"Your mother!" Lucian was so frightened that he even forgot that he was hallucinating. He was about to pull the seat belt to fasten himself. When he came to his senses, he cursed:

"Haven't you ever played Bang Bang Cars?! No childhood shit!"

But with a huge explosion, Lucien realized he had misunderstood the clown.

"Why the hell are there still bombs?"

"I told you! Someone is chasing us!"

Lucien pressed his eyes to the glass, convinced he could see nothing.

"Isn't it obvious?" The clown stepped on the accelerator and drifted: "You've seen it!"

"What the hell have I seen!"

"Kill the Clown Gang!" The Joker stopped keeping the secret: "They're here to kill the Joker!"

"Hahaha!!"

If someone were to use a drone to take an aerial photo over Gotham at this moment, they would be surprised to find that vehicles from all directions were gradually surrounding them in one direction. They were chasing and intercepting them with artillery shells and guns, while the vehicles being chased were twisting and turning, always keeping a distance from them.

"Why are they chasing us!" In Lucien's impression, this gang had blocked Batman in the Gotham Court not long ago.

"Because I'm Batman." A deep and hoarse voice came from under the bat suit, followed by another laugh: "Because I'm Batman!"

Lucien was still confused: "But how did they know Batman was here?! It's just the two of us, there's no way I'm an undercover agent!"

"Haha! I told them!" The clown laughed even more happily.

Each of those cars has a small radar system, and the small red dot in it represents the position of "Batman". As they are entangled with "Batman", they are gradually approaching one direction.

——Arkham Asylum.

Chapter 32 A Joke

Bethlehem is one of the districts closest to Arkham Asylum.

It is known for its chaos and poverty, and is often the biggest victim of Arkham prison escapes.

Similarly, this is also the place where the members of the Killer Clown Gang, who are deeply affected by the mental virus, live most densely.

Batman stood on the ground and looked at the buildings that were even lower than Crime Alley, and placed the bombs made in the nearby safe houses in the appropriate positions one by one.

He didn't care whether there was anyone living there. Five minutes later, with a huge, sky-high flame as the background, he stepped onto the bridge leading to Arkham Asylum in the Beliley District.

"What exploded again?"

"It seems to be... my home."

"Hey, hey! I knew it!" said the clown. "He'll face the trick head-on!"

He became even more sad and heartbroken, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

The Joker wanted to use the identity of "Batman" to induce the Killing Joker Gang to attack Arkham Asylum again, but Batman seemed to have guessed this idea and chose to steal their old home, forcing their personnel to be greatly weakened.

This is what Lucien thought.

……

"Something's still wrong..." Luther tapped the table with his fingers, thinking.

"How did he kill both Superman and the Joker? The key is that he most likely tried it."

"Batman just doesn't kill humans."

"Superman is an alien, so the Joker...isn't he also non-human?"

Luthor knows of Lucian's existence and believes that the Joker has been resurrected in him - although he also thinks that one has been resurrected in Batman.
