Kapitel 410: The White Knight
The video playing within the light curtain naturally focuses on the main character, the Joker.
In this segment, after Joker robs a mob bank, he attracts the attention of Batman, prompting him to go to the police station to inquire with Commissioner Gordon.
However, in the video, Bruce Wayne, not yet recognizing the Joker's threat, believes that their top priority is to find a way to eradicate the mob organizations in Gotham City.
To eliminate the deeply-rooted mob presence in Gotham, they must search and destroy mob banks, both to cut off their funding and collect evidence of mob criminal activities.
In the video, Batman has also formulated a plan to have Commissioner Gordon circulate specially marked bills in the black market, which will help locate the mob banks.
Seeing this, some of Gotham's criminals start cursing. They don't appreciate Batman's interference with their money-making schemes.
Spider-Man, on the other hand, praises Bruce Wayne's intelligence: "Mr. Wayne, this plan is brilliant!"
Bruce Wayne simply gestures for him to be quiet and watch the rest of the video in silence.
In the video, Batman suggests launching a raid on these mob banks first, cutting off their funds. As for the Joker and his criminal activities, they can be dealt with later.
Commissioner Gordon has no objections but mentions that they need the approval of the newly appointed District Attorney, Harvey Dent.
Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, is different from his predecessor. He's tough and takes a hardline approach against criminals.
He has a habit of making major decisions by flipping a coin, deciding whether to act or not.
For instance, during a courtroom confrontation with mob boss Maroni, Maroni's henchman pulled a gun on Harvey Dent. Unfazed, Dent swiftly disarmed him, impressing the courtroom audience.
Outside the video, Gotham citizens watching the live broadcast can't help but applaud.
As locals, they know how corrupt and sinful Gotham is. While Batman has stepped forward for justice, relying solely on him might not be enough to change Gotham. Batman's vigilante status also poses issues.
Now, the new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, is different. He has an official position and can combat criminals within the legal framework.
If Batman is the Dark Knight, then Harvey Dent is like the White Knight. If they support each other, they might truly change the sinful Gotham.
Many Gotham viewers watching the broadcast share this sentiment.
In the video, after leaving the courtroom, Harvey Dent meets with Commissioner Gordon. Gordon requests a search warrant but can't reveal the details of the operation.
Harvey Dent approves it and hopes that Commissioner Gordon will trust him.
Commissioner Gordon shrugs, "Dent, now everyone knows you're Gotham's White Knight."
The police prepare to launch the operation, and Batman, the Dark Knight, meets Harvey Dent, the white Knight, for the first time. Both bring their significant others, with Harvey Dent accompanied by Rachel, and Bruce Wayne with a well-known ballet dancer.
Observing this, Peter Parker thinks to himself, "Mr. Wayne and Mr. Stark have quite a few similarities. They both usually act as playboys."
Publicly, Bruce Wayne indeed appears as a playboy. He wants to share a table with Dent and Rachel, which Dent doesn't mind, although he's concerned about the restaurant's policy on sharing tables.
However, Bruce Wayne confidently moves his finger and says, "They'll allow it. This place is mine."
In the Avengers universe, Tony Stark watches and comments, "Look at this guy, he's quite a show-off. He usually keeps up appearances!"
Money sometimes works better than superpowers.
Bruce Wayne and the others sit together at the table and discuss the security situation in Gotham, naturally including the Dark Knight.
Bruce Wayne's significant other also joins the discussion and believes that Gotham doesn't need a vigilante who operates outside the law but a hero chosen by the people!
This statement represents the thoughts of many viewers as well.
"That's right, that's how it should be. Why do I always feel that these superheroes and vigilantes aren't as good as they seem? Because they act above the law! That's not true freedom and democracy!"
"Yeah, I think we should elect who becomes a superhero, not just rely on their wealth or mutations. That's not true freedom!"
"Come on, electing superheroes? That's the funniest thing I've heard today. If everyone gets to vote, comedians might become presidents!"
The viewers argue, and in the video, Harvey Dent also disagrees with Bruce Wayne's significant other. He believes that in such a critical moment, Gotham needs Batman, a selfless vigilante, above all.
He also thinks that perhaps Batman has been waiting for someone to take over his burden, and he, Harvey Dent, is willing to take up that mantle.
In the video, Bruce Wayne is pleased to hear this and immediately proposes to organize a charity event for Harvey Dent!
Outside the video, Commissioner Gordon glances at Bruce Wayne and comments, "Indeed, everyone loves hearing good words, even Batman."
Peter Parker reflects, "I think this District Attorney is really good, courageous, and willing to change a corrupt city. It does require someone like him to step up."
Bruce Wayne says in a deep voice, "People need the light. When the night falls, they just want to sleep peacefully."
After this brief interlude, the police officially launch their assault on the mob banks.
At the same time, the scene shifts to a group of mob bosses who have gathered for an urgent meeting. They have already learned about the police's top-secret operation.
