Bab 416: Batman 'No Killing' Rule
Peter Parker said, "Didn't Mr. Stark voluntarily reveal his identity as Iron Man during a press conference back then? And, in fact, it was the authorities who wanted him to conceal it, but he chose to disclose it himself."
"Iron Man?" Gordon shook his head, indicating he wasn't familiar with this character, definitely not a figure in Gotham.
In the video, Harvey Dent also disagreed with Batman's proposal to turn himself in, shouting angrily, "You can't do this, you can't give up!"
Batman didn't place as much importance on winning or losing. He put on the Bat-cloak, not to compete with anyone but to change the corruption in Gotham and uphold justice.
As long as this goal could be achieved, whether Batman existed or not didn't matter.
The camera shifted to the press conference, where Harvey Dent solemnly announced Batman's intention to surrender. He also openly stated that this was another way of bowing to criminals and terrorists like the Joker.
However, this made the people who had come to the conference angry. They accused Batman of being an illegal vigilante, claiming that because of him, the safety of the citizens of Gotham was in danger. Of course, the authorities should side with the majority and apprehend Batman!
"Ha, it's ridiculous. Everything Batman does is to protect these people, and yet they despise him. This Gotham City is truly rotten from top to bottom!"
"They are so foolish. If they lock up Batman, who will deal with the Joker? I haven't seen any Superman or Wonder Woman in this Gotham City, only Batman as a superhero, and they want to put him in prison?"
"I suspect these citizens have been influenced by some wicked individuals!"
"No, Batman is illegal. We live in a modern civilized society; we don't need these so-called vigilantes. What we need is justice under the law!"
Under the live broadcast screen, the audience became agitated once again. There were both Batman's fans and supporters, as well as those who disapproved of Batman.
Of course, the former outnumbered the latter, especially in the various worlds radiating from the Quiz game. Batman had appeared before in these worlds.
The audience was not unfamiliar with him and was very supportive of this cool superhero. However, in the newly selected world of Gotham and Joker, the people there had not yet experienced the baptism of the Quiz game.
Ordinary people did not know how dangerous their world was, and these superheroes and vigilantes were their only protection.
In the video, Harvey Dent continued his speech. He spoke well, mentioning that it was always darkest before the dawn and that the dawn would come eventually.
"Batman will one day descend from his pedestal for the sake of us, not that madman!"
Applause rang out in the audience. People seemed relatively satisfied with Harvey Dent's speech, but at the same time, they continued to demand Batman's arrest and wanted him taken into custody.
Harvey Dent had just said so much, but it seemed that people weren't really paying attention. This was quite normal, as Batman was a good person, while the Joker was a bad one, an unscrupulous man whom even the gangsters feared, let alone ordinary citizens.
Moreover, there was a saying that made a lot of sense: good people should be held at gunpoint.
On the stage, Harvey Dent seemed somewhat helpless. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Well, go ahead and arrest Batman."
Was Batman really present at the scene?
The people in the audience looked around in surprise. The real Batman, Bruce Wayne, was among the crowd. He was just about to step forward when Harvey Dent, on the stage, suddenly said, "I am Batman."
Bruce Wayne halted in his tracks, staring at Harvey Dent, who was being handcuffed by the police.
Outside the video, Peter Parker, Gordon, and Arthur all seemed a bit surprised. They hadn't expected this turn of events. Batman had promised to turn himself in, so why did Harvey Dent step forward?
Peter Parker shrugged, "I am Batman." Really, when I heard that, I thought of Mr. Stark... Mr. Bruce, is this a good idea? People have now seen this video, and they might vilify you."
Bruce Wayne merely glanced at him, his attitude clear - would I care about people's vilification?
As the person involved in the video, he naturally understood his future self and Dent's thoughts or plans, or should I say the strategy.
The authorities quickly approved Batman's arrest and decided to transfer him to a central detention facility. Clearly, this was meant to lure the Joker.
Soon, a convoy was prepared and set out on its journey. When the convoy passed through a tunnel, it indeed encountered an ambush. The Joker, leading a group of henchmen, began shooting at the police cars.
Finding that ordinary bullets couldn't penetrate the armoured transport carrying Harvey Dent, the Joker simply carried an RPG and fired a shot. It was at this moment that Batman, driving the Batmobile, arrived in the nick of time.
He used his own vehicle to block the missile, causing the Batmobile to be instantly disabled. However, from it, another motorcycle was released, and Batman rode it to pursue the Joker.
In the end, he caught up with Joker, who was driving a large truck, and used his Bat-grapple to traverse beneath the moving truck, entwining it to flip it over.
Joker stumbled out of the overturned truck, holding an SMG. At the same time, Batman, riding his motorcycle, charged straight at him.
Joker showed no fear whatsoever, muttering, "Come on, come on!"
While continuously pulling the trigger towards passing vehicles, he nervously stared at Batman, saying, "Come on, I've been waiting for you to do this!"
" I've been waiting long enough. You should have done it a long time ago. Come and hit me, and kill me!"
He stopped in his tracks and stood in front of Batman's motorcycle like he was looking for trouble as if he genuinely wanted to die.
Seeing this scene, many viewers found it very strange. Why did these villains, one after another, hope that Batman would kill them? Why were they more determined to uphold Batman's 'no-killing' rule than Batman himself?
However, Batman ultimately roared and swerved urgently, avoiding Joker. This caused his motorcycle to lose balance and flip over, and Batman rolled off the bike, taking quite a tumble.
