The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 2538 The Battle for the Cloak (Sixty-Eight)

Chapter 2512: The Battle for the Cape (Sixty-Eight)

Some people may ask, why must the riddle be drawn? Can't we use other ways to inform Superman without destroying the city appearance? For example, send a letter or something.

In the original comics, the Riddler has many ways to send riddles to Batman, but the premise is that it is Batman.

First of all, he has a fixed address, at least a fixed patrol route, and a proper contact method, so whether the Riddler is sending letters, emails or shooting fireworks, he can at least find a fixed place.

But Superman can't find a proper job because of his weak body. He has been wandering in the dream world. In the early days, he could go to the shelter. Later, because the shelter owner kept harassing him because of his appearance, he simply stopped going to the shelter.

The Riddler can't use normal means to send a letter to a homeless person, so he can only ask someone to run errands, which is too troublesome. It is possible that the errand runner arrives and Superman doesn't know where he has gone. It is possible that Superman is there, but the errand runner takes the money and does not do the job.

Speaking of getting paid, the Riddler wants to cry even more. He is neither a lawyer with a brilliant career resume like Harvey, nor a successful businessman like Penguin who can get along anywhere, nor even as flexible as Harley Quinn. But they also need to eat in the dream world.

The source of Riddler's income in the real world is more confusing. Comics rarely portray his personal career experience. At most, he has worked as a courier and consultant. In the TV series, he has a stable job in the Gotham Police Department, but it doesn't look like he can support all kinds of crimes.

In the dream world, the Riddler earns income mainly by providing articles for major newspapers. Superman becomes a street urchin, and the Riddler becomes a reporter, which can be called the reverse of the heaven.

However, because of his mental problems, he can't pass any formal job interviews. Very few people ask him to write articles, and his income is very meager, barely enough for him to eat.

So he can't take out extra money to do riddles other than street graffiti, and sometimes his life is as poor as Superman wandering on the street.

The situation worsened afterwards, because time jumped 20 years. Although Superman became very weak, he at least did not age. But Riddler could not. He turned into an old man in the dream world. Because of his long-term dealing with spray paint, his lung function was seriously affected.

Now he has no ability to make money, and can only live on the streets like Superman. Until one day, when he was drawing his riddles on the street again with his weak, tired and terminally ill body, Superman caught him and sent him to the hospital.

Superman has been taking care of him.

Riddler was actually very confused. Even if the time skipped in the middle was not what they really experienced, he had caused trouble for Superman even before this jump. Why did Superman save him?

As a result, Superman told him that many people do not understand that society's view of people will also shape people. People only say that you are committing a crime, and you will become a criminal. If I regard you as an artist, there will be one more artist in the world. Graffiti is a hobby you have persisted for decades. Your persistence itself is part of artistic creation and has aesthetic value in the sociological sense. I think an artist should be respected enough.

The Riddler was really moved.

Although he knew it was not the time for him to be moved, please, Batman and everyone else thought he was just a mental patient, and they never praised him as an artist.

The Riddler's nose was broken by this straight ball, so for most of the rest of the time, he pulled Superman to the hospital bed to tell him the ideas of his riddle design, and he could talk for two hours.

Finally, the Joker made a terrorist attack, and Superman planned to fight for the last time, but he knew that the bomb placed by the Joker was more important than the Joker. Only by defusing the bomb could so many lives be saved.

At that time, Superman had a premonition that he could break through the limitations of kryptonite, but he knew that this madman was not so easy to deal with. Even if he could fly into the sky and use lasers to destroy the bombs, he had to determine the location of the bombs first, otherwise the few seconds of delay in finding the bombs would be enough for the madman to detonate all the bombs.

At this time, the Riddler, who was so weak that he had to rely on a ventilator to breathe, still took out paper and pen. On the city map, he guessed the location of the remaining five bombs based on the location of the TV and radio stations where the Joker appeared.

"Now, who is the real master of riddles?"

The movie ended after this sentence. Although the expression on the Riddler's face was sad and tired, he was also thoughtful. He seemed to have found a new way to prove his genius and wisdom.

Everyone applauded. The Riddler stood up, took off his hat, put it on his chest and bowed to everyone, like a big star. The atmosphere in the room became happy again.

Schiller cleared his throat, and the room became quiet again. It was obviously time for the last character to appear.

"Are you the Claw Killer?" asked the Laughing Bat.

Schiller shook his head, took out the last film, and put it into the projector. At the beginning of the film, there was only a vast fog.

Freddy walked out of the thick fog, and as he sneaked into a house, some scenes began to flash back, but this was not a special editing technique of this film, but an illusion that really existed in the thick fog at that time.

The hallucination introduces Freddy's background story, but anyone can see that this is not the point. The point is the abilities that Freddy has after resurrection, that is, the dagger-covered claws and the elusive teleportation ability.

Freddy appears in a bathroom.

He slowly rose from the water and rested his arms on both sides of the bathtub comfortably, but soon, there was a sound outside the bathtub.

"Okay, Auntie, I will be quick, I won't wait for a long time, and I won't delay dinner, don't worry!"

Spider-Man walked in wrapped in a bath towel.

At this time, Freddy had long disappeared, and Spider-Man did not notice that the body of the duck floating in the bathtub was flashing with red light.

boom!

The bathtub duck exploded.

To be honest, this opening is a bit too stream-of-consciousness. The previous films showed the living conditions of the protagonist right at the beginning, either immersed in reading, or still immersed in reading.

In the beginning of this movie, why did you run around in someone's bathtub and blow up someone else's bathtub toys?

Soon, Freddy committed a murder, but the murder object was not a real person, but a doll.

The puppet master appears in this story. The little girl who is the first victim is actually played by the puppet he controls. After all, it is a puppet and can be manipulated into any shape you want. Therefore, the crime scene is particularly tragic, and naturally It has attracted attention from many aspects.

These cases instantly made the front pages of many newspapers, and of course one newspaper also came into Bruce's hands.

But everyone still didn't understand what this was about. The stories of Two-Face, Harley Quinn and Penguin basically revolved around Bruce. The stories of Scarecrow and other academic experts revolved around Arkham Batman and Arkham Knight. Jason unfolds, and the Riddler's story revolves around Superman.

But Schiller or the clawed killer he controls doesn't seem to be planning to revolve around a major character in the show, so what is his mission?

Everyone had no choice but to continue looking down.

The Claw Killer continued to commit crimes, and more and more reports were written about him, from newspapers to radio, and finally to television, to emergency headlines.

Most of the victims are children, so the society pays great attention to it, and it arouses extensive discussions among the people. Everyone is scolding this pervert who kills children.

Except Bruce.

The Talon Killer was the only character Bruce could sense wasn't on his script at this point.

Judging from the timeline, the first Two-Face who entered has now taken control of the American legal system. He is a big shot who is too far away from the bottom life of the city. Bruce cannot feel him at all.

The female police officer Ge Yin was not far away, but she was a psychology major and she disguised herself so well that Bruce thought she was a plot character in the dream world and had no curiosity about her past.

The Penguin took the route of being the mastermind behind the scenes. Bruce knew that there was a very powerful gang boss, but he didn't know that this person was the Penguin, and he thought he was just a plot character.

But the Claw Killer is different. This guy uses a shell that is completely different from all the plot characters in the dream world. He uses his elusive teleportation ability to write the words "I am not simple" on the On his face, he committed crimes again in a high-profile manner. How could Bruce not see that he was here to cause trouble?

This was certainly within the expectations of the Laughing Bat.

It is impossible for any normal person to think that he would run such a large stall without encountering any resistance. Only if everything goes smoothly from beginning to end will he feel that there is something fraudulent.

It can be said that the behavior of the Claw Killer made Bruce relieved. The resistance that interfered with him finally came, but unfortunately, it was in such a straightforward and low-level way. He originally expected the other party to come up with something different. The means.

This is what Bruce thought at the time. He felt that the Claw Killer was causing chaos in the city just to prevent him from completing the show. This logic is sound.

But Bruce doesn't think this perverted murderer can cause much trouble, nor does he think he can force himself to act.

At this time, Bruce felt proud of his idea of ​​designing his own identity, because he was now a pauper with a burden paralyzed in bed. Not to mention you have one murderer, there are hundreds of murderers running around the city. He can't control it, he doesn't have the ability.

So he can completely let this murderer continue to commit crimes and be completely indifferent, because this is his personality. If he really sets himself up as a superhero, he will really get into the opponent's way.

That's why he could openly say "I have no ability, so I have no responsibility" after meeting Jason and the others. He had to show this off. If it weren't for his good character design, he might be chasing the troublemaker again. , so that it destroys the original script and cannot control the overall situation, right?
