Ch.309Spoiler Frenzy

“Lightweight, you mean?”

“Yes, I need a suit that’s portable enough to wear.”

“It really needs to have only the most minimal functions.”

“Still, what’s important is that it’s better than wearing nothing.”

“I understand.”

A brief memory flashes through Jin Wayne’s mind.

The saying about famous feasts having no food.

Perhaps it’s because they’re full of troublemakers.

That thought had been with him for a while, which is why he prepared the Bat Suit.

He never dreamed it would see use so quickly.

“I really hoped I’d never have to use this.”

Bang!

Jin Wayne, or rather Batman, after changing into his suit,

first dropped the chandelier.

First creating a major disturbance to draw attention.

Then immediately cutting the lights so the clowns couldn’t maintain perfect control of the situation.

Stupidly, the lights on the vehicles they arrived in were off.

If people moved carefully enough, the hostages might be able to escape on their own.

And finally, most importantly.

“Looking for me?”

Wham!

Taking a hostage himself to focus attention.

His target from the beginning was just one person.

The white clown with green hair.

Grabbing him by the scruff of the neck and instantly flipping him over.

Click.

He pressed the gun barrel against the back of his head.

A perfect ambush using the darkness.

A successful takedown exploiting the lack of dark adaptation.

“Unfortunately, you won’t be able to see my face.”

“Wohoho! Haha! Batman! How exciting! Hot!”

However, the green clown didn’t seem bothered.

Like a terminal patient who believes he won’t die.

Without losing his smile, he continued talking.

“So you’re going to make yourself a hostage this way? If you target me… hmm, instinctively our stupid cards will only look at you, right?”

“Cards?”

“Yes, cards! You saw them too. Um, I think what you were issued was… the Clover King? The King of Fortune!”

Since he had no intention of playing along with this nonsense,

Batman kept quiet, while the Joker seemed to enjoy even this situation, fidgeting.

“Are you stalling? It’s meaningless! The others are high on drugs! Hmm, they’ll probably try to light up the place with gunfire!”

To those words that spilled out like a well-scripted play,

“I know.”

Crack!

Batman grabbed the Joker’s hair and slammed his head to the floor while simultaneously,

Ping!

He threw a flash grenade into the air.

“Get down!”

The clowns, high on drugs and unable to properly assess the situation.

And the hostages, who were already crouching.

That difference split the effect of the flash grenade.

Those high on drugs, unable to come to their senses, floating in the air.

Though the flash grenade was relatively weak, it would be enough to temporarily blind them.

“Aaaaargh!”

“My eyes! My eyes!”

“I can’t see!”

“Just shoot! Shouldn’t we be shooting?!”

“Don’t shoot! Will you take responsibility if you hit us?!”

Sudden chaos.

Batman didn’t miss this moment.

Click.

He grabbed two pistols.

They were fitted with silencers that extremely reduced their power.

But that was actually an advantage in the current situation.

Pick!

Pick!

Using the only clear vision in the darkened sight to the extreme,

he accurately fired bullets at the clowns’ shoulders and around their ribs.

If he carelessly hit other parts, they might still be able to fire their weapons.

So he aimed to prevent them from pulling the trigger at all.

Of course.

Pak!

“Ugh…!”

He couldn’t dodge all stray bullets during the firefight.

The bullets hitting his armor cracked his bones, but

he couldn’t stop because of that.

Stepping on the part just below the Joker’s neck to keep him down,

he used the two pistols to take care of the drug-addled clowns.

Two faint lights,

methodically clearing the surroundings.

As bullets ricochet,

and the clowns’ gun barrels intermittently spew light,

the fear etched on their faces becomes visible.

Even the courage manufactured by drugs couldn’t properly repel

Gotham’s deepest darkness once again stealing the clowns’ laughter.

“Hahahahaha!”

The only one laughing is the Joker.

Except for him, no one else can laugh anymore.

Thud.

As soon as the last clown was confirmed down,

“Huff… huff…”

Rough breaths poured from Batman’s mouth like vomit.

-This is Alfred. I’ll restore power.

“…Please do.”

With the butler’s help, the lights in the party hall came back on,

revealing the mess the charity party had become.

“That was a really fun party, Batman.”

“Shut up. You’re going to be taken in as is.”

“Hmm, hmm… yes, that’s right, I should be, I’ll go to prison.”

Humming an unexpected tune,

the Joker wriggled and pulled something from inside his clothes.

A sudden movement.

Batman thought it might be a suicide attack, but what came out was a card.

“Batman, can you count?”

“What?”

“Numbers, I mean… how many trump cards there are… something like that.”

“…What are you talking about?”

“Because some are missing, hahaha! You know what I mean? Get it?”

As soon as he heard those words, Batman hurriedly looked around,

and only then did he belatedly realize.

“…Where are they?”

The mayor and the police commissioner were nowhere to be seen.

“Oh, did you find them?”

“Where are they?!”

“Woah woah woah! Don’t push so hard, if I get too scared and wet myself… hmm, I don’t even want to imagine what would happen next?”

That they were not visible.

++++++

Just as they say the most dangerous moment on a journey is right before returning home,

the greatest threat came when everything seemed to be over.

The police who arrived late took the Joker into custody,

but in their relationship, the Joker had the upper hand.

‘He’s crazy.’

‘He’s really at the level of a lunatic?’

‘What exactly… no, how can his acting get even better?’

The audience forgot how to close their mouths watching this.

A perfect dual role using lighting, CGI, and stand-ins.

The most chilling point was that Batman and the Joker

truly seemed impossible to have been played by the same person.

-“Haha, if everyone looks at me with such anxious eyes, it’s burdensome, should I throw out a joke?”

No matter how many police officers growled and used violence,

the smile on the Joker’s face didn’t disappear as usual.

Still smacking his lips,

not even caring about his messy green hair,

he showed a bright appearance under the dark prison lighting, finding something amusing.

-“Are you afraid they might die? Heheh, hahaha, hahahahahahaha!!!”

In the interrogation room that smelled of musty mold,

the Joker enjoyed even that smell as if it were fragrant, looking around.

-“No good cop, bad cop routine? I think it’s about time you gave me a cheeseburger.”

-“…Our thinking is different.”

-“What?”

-“We only have worse things.”

Slam!

As soon as Commissioner Gordon finished speaking, the Joker’s head was slammed to the floor.

The lights suddenly went out.

In the darkness, merciless violence rained down.

-“You don’t have to talk, instead I’ll make sure you can never speak again.”

-“Oh, ooh! Ohohohoh! Hahaha, yes, you’ve come!”

So that was the good cop just now, why didn’t he bring a cheeseburger?

Even while being beaten, his expression didn’t waver.

There was grimacing from pain, but no distortion.

Perhaps because he was already distorted.

The sensation of facing chaos itself.

The audience was instantly captivated by the madness the Joker displayed.

And with that, the story began to develop rapidly.

The police commissioner and the mayor.

The Joker, happily playing in the holding cell with the two as hostages.

And Batman pressuring him.

But the pressure doesn’t work properly.

How can you intimidate someone who has lost all fear of death and pain?

-“Ah, um… I’m not good at making quizzes, so I’ll just give you a hint.”

-“That orphanage where you became the King of Fortune… don’t you think there might be new fortune there?”

New fortune.

Batman immediately understood that this phrase wouldn’t be heading in a positive direction.

-“You’ve taken children hostage too?”

-“Just one…! I’d like you to choose just one, the mayor who will present the future, the police commissioner who will pave the future, or the children who will brighten the future.”

Just, just because I’m not good at quizzes.

I can only list the options.

Sorry, Batman.

Next time I’ll approach you more wisely.

With those final words, the screen goes dark,

and the hostages appear.

And in front of them, a small TV shows the Joker moving.

-“Let’s start the game… how was that, was that line okay? I really wanted to say it. The reason is… well, because it’s famous?”

-“It’s nothing special, I’m not good at making games… just, yeah. It’s a choice game! Ladder climbing! Odd or even! That kind of thing!”

-“The trolley… trolley, what was it? Some kind of dilemma? That’s what we’re doing… you or the orphans.”

Only the mayor and police commissioner have TVs.

No news is delivered to the orphanage.

As if the children never had a choice from the beginning,

in front of them was a bomb ready to explode at any moment.

-“Don’t worry, no one will know about this… um, of course.”

-“Because the bomb in front of you has a time limit! Exactly 10 minutes! Like Cinderella’s shoe, right? You know?”

-“Like magic, the bomb will go boom!”

Between himself with a bright future and the orphans,

whose lives would he save?

The Joker in the TV offered the choice,

and as soon as the video ended, the mayor and police commissioner began to struggle frantically.

But the restraints showed no sign of loosening easily,

and the screen slowly panned back to the Joker in prison.

-“Tell me where they are!”

-“Of course I should tell you, I will tell you… um… but right now? I’m not sure.”

The Joker, who treated all this like a joke,

didn’t lose his smile even under violent abuse.

Wiping something mixed with blood and sweat from his face,

his true appearance was briefly revealed under the partially removed makeup.

-“Wait… you?”

-“Ah, oh… did it come off a bit? A familiar face, right? Jin Wayne… the face of a very famous tycoon. Not the actual person, of course, haha!”

You look exactly like me?

Batman showed momentary confusion in his eyes,

but soon regained his composure.

Because now wasn’t the time to worry about that.

-“Ah… the makeup coming off means the show is ending… sadly, then according to the rules, I’ll tell you.”

-“But maybe it’s already too late?”

Finally, the address came out.

The police, already spread out everywhere, immediately moved to rescue the mayor and police commissioner.

And Batman.

-“You’re leaving me like this, Batman? Weren’t we going to continue our date?”

Vrooom!

Ignoring the Joker’s nonsense, he got on his motorcycle.

Bang!

With a sound unbelievable for a two-wheel drive,

a streak of light raced roughly.

And in this process, action that couldn’t be missed.

Clowns blocking Batman’s way, as if it were natural.

He thought he had cleared them all.

But it didn’t matter.

Just as you can’t stop night from coming,

the clowns would eventually collapse before fear.

Trucks coming roughly from both sides.

And two sedans.

Ratatatatatatat!

Their only target is the bat’s life.

Kwagagagagak!

Lights flashed on the road.

-“Switch to automatic driving.”

-“Approved.”

The darkness swallowed those flashing lights again.

The bright streetlights went out one by one, as if they had been waiting.

-“This wasn’t part of the deal!”

-“Shoot! Kill him!”

-“We’ve already been paid! Just shoot!”

A wire ejected from the motorcycle tied together a truck and a pillar.

Screech, crash!

It overturned one of the trucks containing clowns.

He doesn’t fall under any oppression.

He keeps moving forward.

To prevent the same thing from happening again.

-“What, he really came!”

-“Blow it up! Just blow it up!”

Tick.

Tick.

-“The detonator isn’t working!”

-“Then just kill that bastard first! Then we can kill them!”

To protect the children from harm,

using his cape as a shield, he dropped his motorcycle in the middle of enemy territory.

-“I won’t kill you.”

Batman revealed himself.

-“…But I’ll make it painful enough that you’ll wish you were dead.”

+++++

The mayor and police commissioner who chose to die themselves rather than let the children die.

Their detonator ultimately didn’t go off,

and the Joker, displeased that there was no news after time had passed,

belatedly tried to detonate the orphanage bomb remotely, but.

Bang!

The violent explosion didn’t create any casualties.

However, the orphanage children clearly witnessed

The image of a hero being thrown violently by the bomb’s impact.

Yet still rising to the end to judge the criminals with an imposing presence.

Hope that contains all light.

The dark figure mixed with various colors of hope.

It was deeply imprinted in the children’s hearts.

After successfully saving everyone,

when the police arrived at the orphanage, only the children remained,

and Batman was permanently imprinted as the fear of criminals.

Therefore.

Click.

Tap!

The police decided to project a bat-shaped light into the sky as a sign of awe and respect.

This was the fear and trauma of criminals,

and evidence that hope existed even in Gotham.

Dong!

Dudududong!

Simultaneously, the ending credits rolled up.

But since the theater lights hadn’t come on yet,

the audience instinctively believed there would be a post-credits scene,

and as if to fulfill that expectation, the first cookie scene played on the screen.

-“Is it okay to use people like this?”

-“Didn’t you need the money anyway?”

-“Yes, that’s right, but… hmm, maybe I need something stronger than that.”

After resolving the orphanage situation,

a post-credits scene showing Catwoman supporting Batman as they escape.

And then.

After another long roll of ending credits,

-“Aha, hahaha! The first time… is always, um, bound to fail. You’re clumsy during your first experience, right?”

The Joker.

-“But you know… Batman, there’s something I didn’t tell you, about the Joker card… actually….”

Locked in Arkham Asylum.

The Joker, laughing while looking at the camera in his isolation cell, plays on the screen.

-“Hmm, telling you in advance would ruin the fun, so I’ll stop here? I think I’ll have a lot of friends here. And also….”

And the camera suddenly moves away from the Joker.

-“Joker, you should be looking at me, not the camera.”

-“Oh, is this consultation time?”

It shows the image of a woman slowly walking from far away.

Without a proper introduction,

she appears dressed as what seems to be a doctor.

-“…It’s therapy time.”

She wore a name tag that said ‘Harley’.

Thud!

As soon as that name tag was visible, “Murciélago” ended,

and since there were no more cookies, the theater lights came on immediately.

But the audience couldn’t get up from their seats right away.

‘Wow… that was really amazing.’

Because the fun had surged insanely,

and naturally, that day,

[Did you know chameleons can change even their sperm color depending on the environment?]

-Batman and Joker are the same person, Joker is Kim Donghu.

-Batman has something going on with Catwoman, saved all the orphanage kids

-But it looks like there’s a spy, probably will appear in part 2

-In part 1 Joker goes to Arkham Asylum and Harley Quinn appears there

A spoiler storm began to blow in the community.
