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

He couldn't help but sneer: "You should choose to make the Joker the hero and Superman the villain... instead of letting a clueless unlucky guy like me become the so-called Joker."

Lucian couldn't figure out what his connection was with Batman or the Joker, and he couldn't understand why these two people who had such a tacit understanding chose him to be the next Joker. He looked at them and laughed wildly:

"I'm just an ordinary person... an ordinary person! I don't have a principle of not killing. I don't kill people because it's unnecessary. It's just that the cost of killing is not equal to the benefits I can get... I even killed the group of people who killed the Joker Gang."

"But this cannot hide the fact that you are a kind child." Kuang Xiao took two steps back, distanced himself, and looked at him:

"You're killing people with good intentions. It's very... simple. In fact, you have to kill people with good intentions."

"I'm not a pervert!" Lucien continued to talk, debating with Crazy Laughter about the differences between him and the Joker.

In fact, Lucian was stalling for time. Of course, Kuangxiao must have guessed that he was stalling for time, and Lucian also guessed that Kuangxiao guessed that he was stalling for time. Kuangxiao must have guessed that Lucian guessed that Kuangxiao guessed that Lucian was stalling for time...

But anyway, they chatted in tacit understanding, and on the roofs of the two buildings, Julie and the group of children were shivering.

"Shh!" A man with wild laughter interrupted Lucian's "I'm not a clown" argument. He pointed to the sky and said, "Look, the Superman you've been waiting for."

Not just Superman, but also Red Hood, Nightwing, Red Robin, Damian, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Flash, and Zatanna.

They came down one by one wearing their signature costumes.

The Gotham sun shone down obliquely, shining on this group of heroes. Lucian looked at them and smiled.

The next battlefield will no longer be one he can participate in.

Lucian is aware of his own fighting strength. Unless the Joker comes back to life and possesses him again, it would be best for him not to cause trouble.

……

He thought they would have a touching conversation or discuss their respective ideas.

But in reality, it was faster and more silent than Lucien had imagined.

……

Zatanna used irony magic to open the cube dimension, dividing the battlefield into 9 independent spaces.

The frequency of Steel's hacking into space maintains the stability of basic physical laws.

The Flash uses the Speed ​​Force to create a time dome, accelerating the speed of magic formation by 400%.

Wonder Woman throws the God-killing dagger, infused with the concept of death blessed by Hades.

Maniacal Laughter activates the Batgold Resonator, changing spatial parameters 17 times per second.

……

In fact, Lucian couldn't understand their moves, but his instinctive theory told him that this was the case.

He consciously moved away from the battlefield, dropped the strange green button, and then ran towards Julie's building...Lucian is not a superhero. He chose someone he is familiar with in the trolley problem - this is also what an ordinary person would choose.

As he ran, many stones exploded at his feet, but perhaps it was the tacit understanding between the two sides, or perhaps it was the ability of "immortality" that Lucian himself began to doubt... In short, when he climbed to the rooftop of the building, only the corners of his clothes were slightly dirty.

……

"Honey! I knew it, I knew you would come to save me!" Julie was so moved that she almost burst into tears when she saw him.

But Lucien couldn't laugh. He looked at the words on the sign facing the stairs:

[You can go through, but the moment you step over, those children will explode... This time it's not a trolley problem, this time you kill them with your own hands.]

Lucien watched silently, retracted his foot, and walked away under Julie's pitiful and puzzled gaze.

He didn't want to make any damn choices, that's what only superheroes would do, nor did he want to be morally kidnapped, that's what only saints would do.

But as Lucian turned around, a sign suddenly fell from the sky, with red painted words flashing:

[Of course, kind-hearted children can choose nothing, but unfortunately, the moment you step into this building, you are destined to make a choice - in three minutes, our second-generation Harley Quinn will explode.]

...This was also within Kuangxiao's expectations.

Damn.

Lucien anxiously pointed his finger at his trouser pocket, unable to control the urge to smoke a cigarette.

Outside the shattered glass window was a struggle that he could not understand.

"This isn't something I should be worrying about. I'm not some fucking superhero."

Lucian leaned against the window and shouted, "There are hostages in this building and the other one!"

"If you rescue this side, the bomb over there will explode! If you don't rescue them, this side will explode in two minutes!"

The scene was chaotic and Lucien couldn't guarantee that anyone could hear him.

After waiting for half a minute by his watch, he walked to the rooftop, untied Julie's rope, and thought indifferently.

Now it’s not his trolley problem and moral dilemma.

Lucian was a bit confused: "After all, I'm just an ordinary person. This is something that a superhero should consider... If it really explodes, I shouldn't be the one to be morally condemned."

He took Julie away from the rooftop and saw the blue figure illuminated by the sunlight through the glassless window.

Superman took off his red cape, wrapped the five children in the extremely soft and tough cloth, and held them in his arms.

His blue eyes met Lucian's from afar, and he smiled.

"Superman's self-awareness has been restored!" Zatanna quickly withdrew the magic originally used to control Superman, and once again cast an irony spell on Maniac Laughter.

Kuangxiao's arm was half shattered by this magic, but it quickly recovered with the help of the Dionysus factor. His smile did not diminish, and he even had the leisure to look in Superman's direction, sighing:

"As expected of our God on Earth."

……

There is no place to stay near Arkham, and even the entire Gotham is not safe. Those bat fighters hovering in the air can be shot down at any time... The only safe place now is near Lucian.

So Lucian smiled as he saw Superman speeding towards him.

But his vision, also optimized by the Joker virus, allows him to see things faster than Superman.

…from the green eyes of the children in the cloaks and the green gas that hung in the air.

……

Joker virus.

……

This was within the expectations of Crazy Laughter.

Chapter 50 Let’s turn the situation around!

Lucian thinks that the two most ridiculous sentences in the DC worldview are that the Joker will never die and that everything about Laughing Mania is planned.

So far, both statements seem to be true.

He saw with his own eyes that this god on earth was in a trance for a moment, then his eyes turned green and his gentle smile became sharp. He stood there, looking at Lucian.

Lucien almost shuddered.

……

Superman is controlled by the Joker virus, but this is not a problem. Zatanna restarts the magic circuit in his body and wants to regain control of Superman.

His eyes fell on her with wild laughter: "I advise you not to do this, Xiao Zha." His tone was still very intimate.

But how could she possibly listen to him? Furthermore, no matter how powerful the Joker virus was, it couldn't reach Zatanna through the magic circuit.

Zatanna transferred her magic power to Superman... For Superman, whose magic resistance was extremely low, she didn't even have to spend much magic power or time.

But just when she was about to succeed, a long knife pierced Zatanna's heart before everyone could react.

Lucien looked and saw Damian - the child who voluntarily submitted to the Laughing Maniac in the original plot and was the most blindly and loyal to Batman.

He killed Zatanna.

……

That is to say, everything that has happened so far... is within the expectations of Crazy Laughter.

……

It was as expected by Goucao!

……

Superman hovered between the two buildings and released the cape in his hand. The children fell down due to gravity, making shrill cries for help, but unfortunately no one came to their rescue.

The red cloaks fluttered down, covering their twisted bodies falling from the sky, looking extremely absurd.

"You are worthy of being our...God on Earth." Kuang Xiao spoke again with a hint of sarcasm.

Lucian looked down at the glaring red below, his lips dry.

In the dark multiverse, the Batman Who Laughs can see through everyone and possesses Batgold and Dionysus Factor...how can he possibly win?

-

"This is the instrument passed by Congress... Congressman, the nuclear bomb will be launched in three minutes.

On the top floor of Luthor Corporation, Lex Luthor sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Gotham, which was emerging from the sea level due to the rare good weather.

He swirled his wine glass but didn't drink it. He said to the person next to him, but perhaps he was talking to himself:

"On August 20th, the National Party Congress will formally determine the presidential candidate..."

"The general election will be held on the first Tuesday of November, the Electoral College will vote on the first Wednesday of December, and the president will be inaugurated on January 20th."

"Rich, I'm the most competitive candidate this term, and the most capable one." Luther continued to shake the glass, swirling it around and around, and the red wine formed tiny vortices.

"If I become president, then within the next year, transhumanism will be under national control. Within the next three years, the US economy will increase by at least three percentage points. Within the next five years, people will praise my greatness, and I will truly bring high technology into people's lives..."

"If I become president, racial discrimination will disappear, social welfare policies will be strengthened, and the limit of human life expectancy will be broken... This country will become a true beacon."

Luthor looked at Gotham in the distance, which was crawling on the sea like a giant beast choosing its prey.

"But now, I can't even wait until August 20th... it's too late."

"I had to use my approval rating and candidacy to push this plan forward."

"The moment a nuclear bomb falls on Gotham, my dream of becoming president will be completely shattered."

He closed his eyes, then reset the small computer in his hand: "I have now fought for Superman's control for fifteen minutes at the cost of eighty percent destruction of the device... These nuclear bombs will explode along with the antimatter bombs I installed in Gotham."

"Their core is in the Arkham Zone. The radioactive fallout alone is enough to kill 99% of all living things."
