American comics: Random transformations

As the Joker's gas spread, the corners of their mouths involuntarily turned upwards, and their throats became increasingly itchy. The only way to alleviate it, besides coughing, was to laugh, to laugh maniacally.

Experienced Gothamites had already recognized it: Joker gas, the terrifying gas that makes people laugh uncontrollably, until they suffocate!

"Hahahaha, the Joker! Hahahaha, the Joker is out! Haha…"

"Hahaha, help me, hahahahaha…"

"Haha, haha…"

"Batman, hahahaha, save hahaha me, hahaha…"

These terrifying scenes erupted in several public places, and the citizens present had virtually no escape!

But that wasn't the most terrifying part. The Joker Talons removed their hats and masks, and those poor souls poisoned by the gas suddenly realized they were surrounded by Jokers!

Instantly, their minds shattered…

… … … … … …

The GCPD's police station phones were ringing off the hook. Gordon led all his officers to deal with the Joker.

They split up, and the most support they could provide at any given location was three to four police cars, a maximum of twelve officers.

However, their intelligence was clearly insufficient. When they arrived at the chaotic scene, they saw a large group of Joker Talons, herding the poisoned crowd like ducks.

They were driving them towards a single location, trying to gather the crowd together.

However, when the crowd saw the GCPD officers, the group of laughing, poisoned people ran towards them.

To the police, the scene was extremely bizarre.

A group of unstable "bombs" with a myriad of expressions, rushing towards them. Knowing they were innocent civilians, they couldn't open fire to stop them.

The officers were in a tough spot!

Moreover, some veteran officers had already realized something was wrong. Could Jokers be mixed in with this crowd? If the Joker infiltrated their rear, they would be truly finished!

These veterans were well aware that they should never provoke opponents that weren't theirs to handle. Madmen like the Joker were always Batman's responsibility!

"Commissioner Gordon, have you contacted Batman yet?! The citizens are charging our defensive line, we can't hold them back much longer!"

"F*ck, can't you see I've been on the phone the whole time? Damn Batman! Why isn't he answering the phone!!!"

A CEO trapped inside Wayne Enterprises frowned as he watched the Talon Jokers. These lunatics were dropping Joker gas canisters on the floors with the most people.

Now the entire building was filled with Joker gas.

Bruce Wayne, who had rarely come to work lately, was trapped in his office!

… … … … … …

At Wayne Manor, Alfred the butler also received his master's distress call and immediately prepared an antidote for the Joker gas. (Which was actually a small amount of fear toxin. Joker gas causes people to laugh to the point of oxygen deprivation, but fear toxin forces the inhaler to take deep breaths, supplying oxygen to the brain, causing them to experience terrifying hallucinations.)

After preparing the necessary items, Jason Todd, the second Robin, made a dazzling appearance in his Red Robin suit.

He would pilot the Batplane, carrying Batman's equipment and the Joker gas antidote, to support Bruce Wayne!

Chapter 12: Tian Xiaoban: I...Am I on the wrong set?

The Batplane's speed was unquestionable, reaching the airspace above Wayne Tower in three minutes.

Jason Todd fired a grappling hook, jumped out of the plane, and using gravity, kicked through the top floor's floor-to-ceiling window, forcefully entering Bruce Wayne's office.

Alfred remotely controlled the Batplane, launching a small equipment pod through the broken glass, containing the latest model of the Batsuit.

The huge commotion on the top floor naturally attracted the Talon Jokers downstairs, and they all rushed towards the top floor.

Bruce Wayne quickly began putting on the Batsuit, while instructing, "Robin, take care of them, buy me some time!"

"Hey! Got it! Watch me!"

Jason drew two escrima sticks from his belt. After extending them, he secured the buckles, rotating and locking the two handles of the sticks, instantly turning them into a long staff.

In the past few days, Alfred had taught Jason a lot of combat knowledge. Given Jason's strength, comparable to that of an adult, Alfred suggested he learn staff techniques, which would maximize his strength.

"Yaho!"

The long staff created afterimages as Jason excitedly charged towards the Talon Jokers who had just emerged from the elevator.

The twelve Talon Jokers coldly attacked Jason. Compared to the ordinary people below inhaling the gas, Batman and Robin were their true targets!

The Joker had ordered that anyone who tried to stop them should be killed, especially Batman and Robin.

Ding ding ding ding ding…

The flying Talon darts were all swept away by the long staff. Jason felt incredibly cool!

Immediately afterwards, the sound of metal claws colliding with the long staff rang out continuously. Each time, the metal claws almost injured Robin, but Robin always narrowly avoided them.

As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, let alone a gang fight from professional killers.

Jason didn't block for long before three Talon Jokers ambushed him from behind, the suit sparking from the claws.

The force caused him to become somewhat unsteady and slow to react, failing to block the frontal claw attack in time.

Jason was directly punched in the face by two fists, sending him flying and knocking over several desks.

"Tch!" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, "Looks like being a hero isn't so easy after all! This is much harder than a street brawl!"

Jason could feel his face burning, already starting to swell.

"F*ck! You guys really deserve to die!"

With his face swollen, Jason was about to go berserk. The staff danced in his hands, anger increasing the power of his swings, the staff whistling through the air.

With this force, a hit on a bone would definitely break it! Possibly into several pieces!

The power Jason unleashed suppressed the twelve Talon Jokers, their hands and feet all broken by his blows!

If Batman hadn't warned him not to kill, the Talon Jokers' necks would have been broken just now.

"Huff! Huff!"

The outburst of power wasn't without a price. Jason felt a little exhausted.

"Careful!"

A husky voice with phlegm in the throat sounded behind Jason, it was Batman's warning! By the time Jason turned his head, a Talon Joker with a grimace was already stabbing at him with a dagger.

Shoo—shoo—shoo—shoo—

"Robin, heads down!"

Four throwing knives chased after them at tricky angles, just as the Joker Talon was about to kill Jason, in that critical moment.

The throwing darts exploded!

The shockwave of the explosion instantly sent the two flying! The Joker Talon suffered the most impact and damage, so he flew further.

Batman immediately chased after him, twisting all the Joker Talon's joints in a few moves, basically crippling him for life, rendering the Talon unable to move.

Then, Batman rushed to Jason's side and helped him up from the ground: "How are you, Robin? Are you still conscious?"

Jason rubbed his head: "Ugh... I'm okay! I'm fine! Just a little weak, haven't recovered yet."

Just as Batman was staging a touching father-son scene, the Joker Talons, whose hands and feet had been broken by Jason earlier, all stood up again and charged towards Batman and him.

Jason was immediately stunned. He felt that the medical knowledge he had learned was being frantically rubbed by reality.

"Impossible! I clearly broke their hands and feet, there's no way they could stand up so quickly!"

Jason began to doubt his life, wondering if his earlier feat of taking down twelve opponents single-handedly was fake? Were these people all acting?

Batman narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and then said to Jason: "Robin, you rest first, watch my moves next!"

On-site teaching always allows people to learn the fastest!

After Batman finished speaking, he turned around and threw a straight punch, hitting the Joker Talon hard in the stomach, followed by a whip kick, sending it flying.

Before Batman could turn around, two Joker Talons had already pounced on his back, both holding small daggers in their hands, hidden and dangerous!

Their goal was to kill Batman.

Batman seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, reaching back with both hands, grabbing the two hands that were stabbing at him, and suddenly exerting force, performing a double over-the-shoulder throw!

The two Joker Talons were directly thrown into a daze. Batman took the opportunity to twist all their joints.

"When encountering enemies with strong healing abilities, breaking their limbs will be more effective than breaking their bones..."

Before Batman could finish his lecture, the two Joker Talons, whose joints had just been broken, had already recovered strangely, and they attacked Batman again.

"My judgment was wrong, their recovery ability doesn't seem like a superpower!" Batman easily blocked the attack, calmly analyzing the Talon's recovery ability.

"Agile movements indicate nerve reflexes, we can try electrocution!"

Opening the utility belt around his waist, Batman took out a powerful stun gun, 12 button-like gadgets.

Each of these small, button-sized things can release an electric shock strong enough to paralyze an elephant in an instant, and continue discharging for five minutes.

With Batman's top-notch agility, he placed the stun guns on the bodies of the twelve Talons amidst their attacks.

Electric arcs instantly appeared on their bodies, and the high-voltage electricity paralyzed them.

"It seems that electrocution still works!"

"Wow, why don't I have that thing?" Jason rummaged through his utility belt but couldn't find this cool gadget!

Batman calmly replied:

"Before your basic training is up to par, I won't give you those dangerous tools. Are you rested enough? Next, we're going to help..."

He was only halfway through his sentence when those Joker Talons, who had been paralyzed by the electric current, actually endured the electrocution and removed the stun guns from their bodies.

"Holy crab, what kind of monsters are these!" Jason was dumbfounded. Are these still Earthlings? Could they be aliens in disguise!

Batman: "..."

His fists clenched tighter and tighter, he was getting angry, his fists were getting hard!

This was the most times he had messed up! Every time he confidently said it was resolved, the other side just wouldn't give him face! This made his teaching very unsuccessful!

Just then, Alfred sent a voice message: "Master, they can't be killed. Several officers in some areas have already shot at them. But even if they are shot, they can still recover quickly!"

"Can't be killed?" Batman's eyes began to turn dangerous!

His no-kill principle only applies to ordinary people. Once non-humans appear and cause chaos in Gotham, he can kill them wantonly!

To verify Alfred's statement, the arm blade of the Batsuit popped out, and he went up and slashed at the Joker Talon's arm.

Several other Joker Talons wanted to attack together, but Batman, who was no longer holding back, threw out ten batarangs in an instant and hit them!

"Bong!" × 10

The explosions blew them away, leaving two behind for experimentation!

Batman chopped down with a hand knife, and one of the Talon's arms fell directly to the ground, and foul-smelling bruised blood flowed out from the wound, which was extremely strange...

As a professional detective, Batman could tell at a glance that this person had been dead for at least a month!

But strangely, even though it was a corpse that had been dead for so long, not only did it not rot, but its movements were agile, unlike a dead person! Scientific potions definitely wouldn't work!

This kind of weird situation is probably the magic that gives him the biggest headache!

The one-armed Talon swung his other arm at Batman again!

"Crack!" The other arm also fell!

The Venus Talon was only left with that grinning face.

At this moment, it had a somewhat mocking feeling!

"Alfred, notify Zatanna and tell her that we have something that appears to be a magical creature here."

… … … …

Tian Xiaoban, who had just returned to Gotham, was very confused. Was there a traffic jam at the entrance to Gotham?

Moreover, the cars were not jammed towards the inside, but towards the outside. This feeling was like escaping for your life!

"Hey, excuse me, uncle, can I ask, what's going on here?"

Seeing a tattered little beggar approaching his car, the uncle in the car impatiently honked the horn and drove him away, saying:

"Don't bother me, kid! The Joker is out in Gotham again! That super bad, super bad Joker!

He's causing chaos throughout Gotham, I'm leaving here and I'll come back after he's locked up again!"
