In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 270: Fearful Laughing Devil (Part 1)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
In the DC comics, there are many origins of the character of the clown. At first, when the clown was not popular, he was just an ordinary acrobat, that is, a clown in the true sense.
Later, there was a version that fell into the chemical pool. Of course, the most famous one is the clown of the deadly 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 one universe. In this setting, the clown is no longer the only character, and the three clowns start killing each other.
Aside from those attractive gimmicks, it is possible to have multiple clowns in one universe. Crazy clown, not out of the question.
On the first night when Schiller came to Gotham, he confirmed that there should indeed be multiple clowns in this universe, because on that night, his personality that controlled the body underwent a certain degree of mutation .
At the beginning, this mutation was not obvious, but until Bruce appeared in front of him and looked at him, Schiller became one of the selected clowns, and therefore, Bruce was interested in him , he's also interested in Bruce, an unavoidable mutual attraction between Batman and the Joker.
Schiller quickly noticed this mutation, and his "superego" created another personality to replace the clown Schiller, and threw the clown Schiller into the lower layers of his thinking palace, letting him Climb up as a way to contain the dangers this crazy personality can pose.
The evolution of the clown is irreversible, so this personality eventually became one of the many clowns, but because he was trapped in Schiller's thinking palace and has not yet climbed up, so he is not harmful for the time being. But he is also a clown.
When it comes to the clown, one has to mention another controversial character, that is the Laughing Bat.
When this character first appeared on the stage, 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 parents of all the only children in the whole 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 twisted the clown's neck with his own hands, but at the same time, the laughing virus in the clown's heart infected Batman.
In other words, the Bat Laughing is actually a combination of the Joker and Batman. The story ends here, and it can be called a rather creative plot, because many DC audiences have thought about it, if the Joker What will happen when you become one with Batman?
But later, this setting began to go further and further away. In order to show how powerful the combination of Batman and the Joker is, the screenwriter began to add many settings to the Laughing Bat that could enhance his character.
Among them, one of the settings that destroys the story and the style of DC Comics the most is that the Bat Laughing is exhaustive.
In fact, whether it is Batman or the Joker, their intelligence settings are quite high, especially Batman, as a planning madman, he has a backup plan against almost everyone, and the Joker's crazy jokes The implementation process also shows that he has wisdom and executive ability beyond ordinary people.
In order to show the effect that one plus one is greater than two, the scriptwriter made the Laughing Bat almost omniscient and omnipotent. Unfortunately, the plot showing this ability can be called far-fetched. Basically, it can be summed up as, the bat who laughed wildly expected something the other party did, the bat who laughed wildly expected something he did, the bat that laughed wildly expected the other party to expect something he expected the other party to do ...
In a nutshell, I predict your prediction, I predict your prediction, I predict your prediction, and I predict your prediction, and then do infinite matryoshka.
For this reason, here, I have to grandly introduce to you——
The crazy destroyer of DC's combat power restraint system, the super dragon Aotian in the setting of American comics, his intelligence and combat power are amazing, but he never forgets his original goal and his simple wisdom God, always one step ahead and almost never The great virtuous prophet who didn't miss but just doesn't do business, the soul mate of Zhuge Kongming, the best friend of Edogawa Conan, the only designated father of the DC editorial department-the bat of laughter, Wei Yixiao!
In the past, some people always joked that Master Bat is the real father of the DC editorial department, but now, Wei Yixiao's settings let people know that the editorial department is probably just Robin adopted by Batman, and the real biological father just debuted .
You can’t say that the character design of Bat Laughing is not good, because its origin story is indeed very interesting, satisfying many fans’ fantasies about the relationship between Batman and the Joker, but as more and more settings are added, the plot gets better More and more outrageous, the character of the Laughing Bat gradually deviated from the most attractive style of DC comics, the quiet black humor, and turned to the cool line.
Therefore, Schiller does not have a good impression of this role. If he had to choose among Batman, the Joker, and the Bat Laughing, Schiller would rather be surrounded by ten pairs of clowns and Batman than run into one. The Laughing Bat, not because of his super-standard combat power and intelligence, but because he is really boring.
Schiller is very clear that once this kind of character with editorial father attributes appears in this universe, his peaceful life will be completely over. Although his current life is not very peaceful, but the surrounding He was surrounded by at least moderately interesting characters.
Coppert's inferiority and conceit are like twin vines, the reasons for the emergence of Evans' two personalities and their subsequent development, Alberto's emotional entanglement with the godfather, Victor's unswerving love until his death, etc. Even Jack the Clown, who has no source and no backstory at all, used a stage performance to tell Schiller that he was interesting enough.
The Laughing Bat may be very strong, but he is really boring, because everything about him is dark for the sake of darkness, and there is no mention of any psychological struggle, black and white opposition, human standpoint and emotional changes, he is like A piece of paper that is thousands of kilometers long and can even circle the earth may be very long, or it may be called 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 purely disgusting.
Not long 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 positive transformation, while the dark multiverse is just the opposite. Everyone will eventually fall into the abyss.
Therefore, at the beginning, Schiller did not consider the possibility of the birth of the Laughing Bat, because the conditions for his birth were not met here, except that the universe here is biased towards the light, and the current timeline is too early Well, Batman has just finished his freshman year, and the Joker has only been on stage for a few days, the two of them have only passed one trick, and the victim still deserves the court of owls, and it didn't even affect too many onlookers.
Even if Batman has not become the wise and suspicious old man he later became, and the clown has not exerted his genius to create all kinds of troubles for Batman, the two of them are far from To the point of life and death enemies.
Maybe it was the arrival of Schiller that added more order to the city, or maybe it was the youthful clown who should have been matched with the youthful Batman. All villains and decent murderous clowns are unlikely to appear, so the Batman who killed the clown after being tortured insane is also unlikely to appear.
This is Schiller's inference. Even if the clown really appeared later, he did not shake his judgment. He believes that there is no soil in this universe that the Laughing Bat can produce.
But when Jack approached Schiller and told him that there might be a dangerous thing hidden in Batman, Schiller was still shaken.
The most critical point is that if there is even a slight possibility that the thing Jack mentioned is the Laughing Bat, then who would dare to bet that he is not?
When Jack said that he felt that something was hatching in Batman's heart~IndoMTL.com~ Schiller's vigilance was pulled to the highest level, no matter what, the Laughing Bat must not appear in this universe.
When Schiller had doubts about the Sandman because of his own situation, he had the urge to start a new topic, that is, "how to use dreams to reach the depths of people's hearts".
This subject is not only to study how to find the Sandman, but also to dig out the possible danger that Jack said.
After obtaining clues about the immortality factor and successfully producing crazy wine, the clown and Schiller knew that it was time for them to act.
At that time, Schiller and Mrs. Miller said that the clown made an appointment on his personal phone, in fact, because they needed to confirm the next plan on the phone.
Everyone knows what happened afterwards. Schiller, who was drinking with the clown in the consulting room, deliberately asked the elevator attendant to release the clown Schiller who was still climbing the stairs, and had the first contact with the clown Jack. The clown Schiller's first reaction was to trick Jack into the room of Schiller's thinking palace and put him in prison for him, but after failing, he also determined that this would be a good partner for cooperation.
The next step is to put other people into your 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.
There is another more important reason for the clown to enter the kingdom of dreams, and that is to allow the clown to enter the dreamland of Batman through the kingdom of dreams.
Digging down from Batman's dream, just as Jack expected, on the edge of Batman's dream, in Bruce's body, there is indeed a monster that no one has ever seen.
