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

From the time Lucian met Batman to the time the Joker committed suicide, at least the Batman Who Laughs was not completely laughing.

He thought of what Batman once said: "Trust me"

Perhaps Batman and the Joker will team up much sooner than Lucien imagined.

……

What are the laws in the DC world?

If Batman were born, there would definitely be a Joker.

There is also a more obvious yet more subtle law: there is only one Batman and Joker in a world.

At least on the surface, there is only one pair of Joker and Batman who are fighting against each other.

Now both of them are on Lucian.

So who is laughing wildly?

Whether he is the Joker or Batman, he is the redundant one, which may also mean that he is neither the Joker nor Batman.

What does this mean?

Laughter will no longer have the aura of Batman or the Joker.

Lucian was a time traveler, and he thought from a macro perspective.

Perhaps no one except Batman from the main universe can defeat the Maniac Who Laughs head-on, but -22 also has its own advantages.

This is where laughter is born.

It can weaken the existence of laughter at the level of rules.

Especially with both the Joker and Batman still alive.

This is a time and space paradox that makes people laugh.

Chapter 52 This is the plan, this is the plan, this is also the plan

"So this nuclear explosion is also part of your plan?"

This time it was Batman who answered his question: "High concentrations of radioactive dust can weaken dark energy."

In the Dark Metal comics, Radiation is able to resonate with the Tenth Metal, which repairs and creates the universe.

But Lucian still thought it was crazy that a nuclear explosion could save the world.

"Then why isn't the battlefield set in Fukushima, Japan?" Lucian thought for a moment:

"Or Sellafield, England?"

He didn't need an answer after asking, he quickly nodded in understanding: "I understand, I understand. Either we need to create more radiation sites to stabilize the universe, or it's too late."

"Speaking of which... where are we going?" Lucian said jokingly, "I don't know the topography of Gotham. I wouldn't know it if you took me to Wayne Manor."

"By the way, the Riddler took advantage of my lack of knowledge and led me to Arkham Asylum."

After Batman and the Joker reappeared in Lucian's consciousness, he relaxed a lot. Not only did he stop smoking, but he also became a bit more talkative. He said to the Joker:

"That jerk, the Riddler, actually framed you. He said you were a pervert and broke his arms and legs."

"Hey, kid, he certainly didn't tell you that I broke his life value device." The clown laughed softly and joked in cooperation.

But Lucian narrowed his eyes: "Did you really do it?"

His original theory was that Joker had traveled through time and space to commit the horrific crimes he had committed in the past... Such a ritualistic and anti-death method really didn't seem like the Joker's work.

But now it seems...

This means that there is another culprit behind the series of abnormal and unreasonable events that happened to -22 before the birth of Laughter.

……

Lucien thought about how the Riddler had described those people's deaths.

Bane died from blood drain, Catwoman died from excessive blood loss, Killer Croc died from leeches...

Why is it all blood?

Blood Cult?

……

The Joker said in a persuasive tone: "You know, we... already have a plan."

Lucian: “…”

He felt a sense of suffocation, unable to swallow or exhale.

So he changed the subject: "So the price of your plan is Zatanna's death, the birth of the Superman Who Laughs, Damian's betrayal, Gotham's economic blockade and nuclear explosion, and those superheroes whose whereabouts are unknown and whose life or death is unknown?"

"This is just the necessary price." The clown tilted his head slightly, not thinking there was anything wrong with it. "Besides, how do you know this is the price?"

Could it be that these are all hallucinations?

Or is -22 going to be restarted?

Lucien interrupted his instinct to think along the lines of the clown's words. He felt that if he continued to think about it, he would be deceived.

……

Arkham was surprisingly flat after the nuclear explosion, with only some black objects that were difficult to identify piled up like water.

They did not go far from Arkham, and Batman led them to the D'Angelo Wastewater Treatment Plant.

This is the closest business or building to Arkham Asylum and the only other factory on the island besides Arkham Asylum.

The liquid in the original huge reservoir had long since evaporated, and even the suspicious hair and bloodstains hanging on the pool wall had disappeared. What was left here was almost the same as in Arkham.

"Is there anything special here?" Lucian asked, not understanding.

"There's nothing special here," the clown replied.

"That?"

"This is just stalling for time, dear." The clown laughed again: "Our clever children are still too trusting."

Batman turned his head and looked at him through his goggles: "I need your body."

"so?"

"So there's no point in refusing, dear." The Joker walked back into Lucien's body, controlling him to hug Batman.

Batman didn't refuse, and together they took control of Lucien's body.

"Your inference is correct. As the number of deaths increases, your control over your body becomes less... Let me count how many times you have died so far." The clown counted on his fingers seriously.

“But if you tell me directly, I won’t refuse…” Lucien still didn’t understand.

"Oh, of course you can, kid, but then we won't be able to see your look of shock and disbelief... This is the most delicious appetizer."

The clown dog couldn't speak human language, so Batman explained in a quiet and low voice:

"We need to minimize your presence to prevent you from making mistakes due to fear or instinct." He paused. "I apologize for this."

?

Lucien laughed and said to the Joker, "Did Batman ever apologize to you, Joker?"

clown:……

……

To be honest, this situation was beyond Lucien's expectations, but to be fair, he didn't feel any resentment or unwillingness.

Maybe he's used to being tricked by the Joker, or maybe it's because this is Batman.

Lucian lay down and let himself be poked with blind trust in the setting.

……

The Joker and Bruce Wayne are both decent people, at least more decent than Lucian. As soon as they got the body, someone tidied up its clothes and brushed off the dust.

"You are such a messy kid, you need to pay attention to hygiene~"

Lucien knew that this was the clown's dust.

He didn't say anything either, just watched quietly as the radioactive black ash fell on his clothes like raindrops.

"Oh..." The clown stopped and said, "It seems that the clothes you are wearing today are not suitable. You should wear black."

"Yes, not only black, but I should also wear a helmet with two pointy ears and a black cape hanging behind me. Then I have to put on makeup... powder my face, black paint around my eyes, red lips, take off my colored contact lenses, and wash off the hair dye..."

Lucian scoffed, "I should have worn clown makeup and a bat costume!"

The Joker agreed: "That's the coolest outfit I can think of... Remember the one I wore when I took you out of the Batcave? You should have worn that."

"But before now, how could I have known that my clown mother would be resurrected?" Lucian's voice choked with sobs. "I was even saddened by his death for quite a while."

"Oh... my poor child." The clown was moved. "I should have told you a white lie before I left."

……

If someone saw Lucian from a third-person perspective now, they would have no doubt that he was the psychopath on the run from Arkham.

He was talking to himself, his voice was sometimes loud, sometimes soft, sometimes sad, sometimes calm, his eyes were wandering around, sometimes looking down, sometimes looking straight ahead, and sometimes looking up.

The most abrupt thing is that no matter how jumpy and outrageous the upper body is, the legs and feet always move quickly, rhythmically and with a clear goal in one direction.

Chapter 53 I am the Joker, I am Batman, I am the Flash

The Joker Hallucination is a personality formed when the Joker virus enters Lucian's body.

So what about Batman?

What is his carrier?

……

After walking for a while, Lucian saw a humanoid solid, which was completely covered by radioactive dust.

Batman walked over and smoothed away the black goo.

The survivors who were still breathing no longer had the strength to lift their eyelids.
