When Batman tells the Joker that the city is full of people who believe in goodness, the Joker doesn't care at all.
“Until their beliefs completely crumble, until they see Harvey Dent's true colors and the heroic deeds he has committed, do you think I would just focus on fighting you and lose this battle for the soul of Gotham City? Of course not. You need an ace to win, and Harvey Dent is that ace.”
The Joker tells Batman that he turned Harvey Dent into a freak like them.
"Actually, as you know, it's not difficult. Madness is like an apple falling to the ground; all you need to do is give it a gentle push."
After saying that, the clown burst into maniacal laughter.
Batman quickly left to find Harvey Dent.
Only then did Yura realize that something was wrong with what she had sensed earlier.
In the battle for souls, Batman has already lost.
Harvey Dent has been dragged into the abyss of darkness.
He has already killed someone.
The city's faith crumbled completely when the people learned that the Gotham Knight of Light, who was supposed to be fighting crime, had taken revenge by vigilante justice, killing many people and targeting Gordon and his family.
If this happens again, the other side will probably just activate the switch to detonate the enemy ship.
Not only Yura realized this, but everyone in the tavern realized it.
Is the Joker about to win...?
They couldn't wait to continue watching; two storylines had already concluded, leaving only the Harvey Dent storyline.
However, they had no idea how Batman could turn the tide.
Harvey has completely fallen from grace.
He held the gun and pointed it at Gordon's son.
No matter how much Gordon pleaded, it was to no avail.
Seeing this, everyone fell even more silent.
If Harvey Dent killed his predecessors for revenge, the current Harvey Dent simply wants to inflict the pain he suffered on Gordon.
After Harvey Dent flipped a coin and shot Batman, Harvey Dent flipped two more coins.
The first time is the one that determines your fate.
The second time, however, was the one that determined the fate of Gordon's children.
However, before the second attempt could yield results, Batman tackled Harvey Dent off the building.
After Batman pulled Gordon's son upstairs, he himself, having been shot and suffering numerous injuries from his previous fight with the Joker, was also severely exhausted and fell from the high building, crashing heavily to the ground.
Harvey Dent is dead.
Batman was also seriously injured.
"The Joker won. All of Harvey's lawsuits, everything he fought for, has been for nothing. The hope you gave us to rebuild the city has also vanished with Harvey's disgrace. We placed all our hopes on him. The Joker twisted a good man into a bad one, and people will lose hope."
Gordon was desperate.
Her voice was trembling with tears.
All the readers present fell silent; the situation was truly desperate.
Just when everyone thought that the second volume, "The Dark Knight," would end with Harvey's death leading Gotham back into darkness, Batman spoke up.
"No, we absolutely cannot let people know what he did."
"He killed five people, two of whom were police officers. This kind of thing can't be hidden."
"That's right, but we must not let the Joker succeed. Gotham needs real heroes."
Batman, dressed in black, walked to Harvey Dent's body, straightened Harvey Dent's head, and turned it so that the unburned side was facing upwards.
"Do not……"
Gordon realized what Batman was about to do.
"Either sacrifice yourself for righteousness and be remembered for generations, or live on until you witness yourself becoming a villain and blame it on me, because I am not a hero, unlike Dante, I can bear the guilt of killing them."
"No, no, you can't, you're not a bad person."
"I am whatever Gotham needs me to be. Call the police to arrest me."
The scene changes.
Gordon gives a speech for the deceased Harvey.
"He is a hero. We don't deserve such a hero, but we need such a hero. He is like a knight who shines with light."
They smashed the Batman warning sign on the police station roof.
Alfred also burned Rachel's letter to Bruce Wayne.
The scene returns to the present.
Batman turned and ran away, with police swarming in pursuit.
Gordon's children were puzzled and didn't understand why they were hunting Batman.
Gordon told his children.
"He is not our hero, he is the silent watchman, the ever-vigilant protector, he is the Dark Knight."
With Gordon's narration, Batman disappears into the night while being pursued by the police.
The Dark Knight, Volume 3.
Chapter 581 He really... I'm crying my eyes out
silence.
Inside the tavern, both men and women fell into a deep silence.
"Gulp, gulp."
The silence was broken only by the constant sound of drinking.
Although the Joker did not win, the criminals tried by Harvey Dent will still be imprisoned, and Gotham's hope remains.
But Batman also lost.
After the Light Knight fell from grace, he perished, and the Dark Knight bore all the blame.
draw.
"Batman is really... I'm crying... He's so manly, carrying everything alone."
“He has really lost so much... his parents, his childhood, his love, and now he’s taking the blame for Harvey Dent.”
"This Dark Knight volume is truly amazing. Whether it's the battle between the Joker and Batman or the interpretation of human nature, it's all incredibly brilliant. Of course, the final part, where Batman takes on everything for Gotham, is the most sublime part, truly deserving of the title Dark Knight."
"Yes, so the Dark Knight is a knight who bears all darkness, while the Light Knight is a knight who symbolizes hope and light. At first, I simply understood them as knights who walk in the darkness, but I never imagined they had this other meaning..."
"To be honest, Ms. Fang Qiu's character design is really impressive. I used to think that Batman's character design was overshadowed by the Joker, after all, the Joker was portrayed so well. However, the part where Batman takes on Harvey Dent's sins to save Gotham City's hope directly elevates Batman's character design to the same level as the Joker, making them evenly matched."
"Sigh, it's just a pity about Harvey Dent. He was truly a good person, but he cherished those around him too much. From the very beginning, when Gordon was shot, to later hearing that Rachel was the next target, Harvey Dent already showed signs of turning to the dark side. But at that time, he was just using a coin toss to scare the other side; after all, both sides of a coin are essentially human figures. It's a pity about Rachel..."
After the incident, Harvey completely lost his composure.
The crowd discussed it.
Their eyes were filled with emotion; they felt sorry for Harvey, amazed by the Joker, and heartbroken for Bruce Wayne.
"I wonder what the plot of the third movie will be. If they misunderstand Batman for so long, and finally find out that Batman took the blame for everything, it will be really satisfying."
"Now that you mention it, it's true. Just thinking about such an ending feels really satisfying."
Ultimately, Batman became a symbol of light in Gotham City.
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Fang Qiu also felt a bit emotional.
He carried everything alone.
This certainly creates a strong sense of anticipation.
It's like a story about a dragon king in a past life or a story about a woman who regrets her actions and suffers a "husband-chasing crematorium."
The male protagonist appears to be a good-for-nothing, and the female protagonist looks down on him in various ways, but in reality, he has given everything for her. The reason the female protagonist has achieved so much is because the male protagonist has been silently helping her behind the scenes.
Then readers will look forward to the moment when the female lead learns of what the male lead has done for her, and to the moment when she regrets her actions after he leaves.
Or, to put it another way, there's a female lead who really likes the male lead, but because she's a tsundere, and her tsundere tends to be more arrogant, one time, the male lead invites her to go to the movies. However, because there are other people present, she gets shy and scolds the male lead. The male lead leaves disappointed. But after she gets out of school, she regrets it and wants to apologize to the male lead, only to find out that the male lead, after hearing her insults, was so distraught that he was hit by a car and is now in the hospital.
When the male lead wakes up, the female lead is about to express her feelings, but discovers that the male lead has lost his memory.
As Fang Qiu was thinking this, Yura had also finished reading the Dark Knight volume, her eyes filled with shock.
If the first volume, "The Mystery of the Shadow Knight," only surprised her, the second volume, "The Dark Knight," truly shocked her.
No wonder there used to be a saying in Mondstadt that Fang Qiu was a knowledgeable and experienced old man.
After all, even now, she finds it hard to believe that this seemingly delicate and not-so-bright girl, who is reading a book and drinking a beverage, could not only write a character like the Joker, who is both manic and chaotic yet calm and intelligent.
It's also possible to write a character like Bruce Wayne, who, despite experiencing so much pain, still follows his heart, has only good intentions, comes from a prominent noble family but never thinks about saving the common people of the city, and ultimately bears the burden of guilt.
It is said that even a mortal can only compare to a god.
That's really impressive.
She became even more curious about Fang Qiu.
So she lowered her head and turned to the next page.
Volume 3, The Dark Knight Rises.
……
At the same time, gifts from angels.
Diluc also saw the end of the second volume, and his initial disdain had turned into shock and contemplation.
The Joker in the book is indeed a very troublesome enemy, with his plans linked one after another, and it can be said that he has everyone in mind at every step.
If it were me, I might not be able to do as well as Batman in the book.
But if that's the ending...
I would probably choose to follow Batman's choice without hesitation.
