Laughing American comics, I am becoming more and more like a clown

"Batman, you're late. I've already 'liberated' another person. Do you want to be next?" He said calmly, his black eyes like some kind of whirlpool.

Victor Zsasz.

An exhibitionist, sadist, murderer, and masochist.

A complete villain.

Batman didn't speak. Except when they were alone, he could be described as silent.

"Tick-"

It sounded like raindrops falling from the sky, but heavier and thicker. It was the wound on Zas's chest, flesh turned inside out, blood seeping out and dripping onto the iron sheet.

This is his killing habit. After killing someone, he will cut a scar on his body to record it... a masochist.

"Why kill Reuben?" Batman said.

"Relief. This poor man is obsessed with guilt. I'm giving him relief," Zas replied.

……

Guilt, it seems Bruce's inference was right, Lucien thought.

……

They started fighting.

The time was short, but during that ride surrounded by dripping stone beasts and Gothic buildings, Bruce became basically familiar with this body with abnormal fat content.

It's strange. Whether from a scientific point of view or just from the appearance point of view, Lucian should be considered a seriously ill patient with difficulty getting up... But he is always energetic, and the abnormality of his body is completely different from what he shows. He even has much more strength than ordinary people.

...This is also what Bruce doesn't understand the most.

……

From a distance, it looked like a fair 1v1 battle between a stick insect pretending to be a bat by inserting dragonfly wings onto its body and a monkey that had become a kangaroo's apprentice.

But putting himself in their shoes, Lucien found that there was a bit of a headwind.

The character of Victor Zsasz was originally created to give Batman an opponent with strong fighting power.

His fight with Batman is aesthetically pleasing and extremely entertaining.

...but a head-on fight with Batman might mean a weakened Batman can't defeat him.

"You're not Batman... who are you?" Zsasz asked while engaging in close combat with Lucian.

"I'm a little mouse that flies in Gotham at night, a sugar glider that's about to get pregnant and carry a baby, and a bombardment that carries a quiet night needle in an attempt to make all female creatures pregnant... Yes, you guessed it right, I'm indeed not Batman." Lucien saw that he had hit him in the face with an old punch.

But Zas's leg also kicked Lucian in the chest.

……

Honestly, it kind of hurts.

……

In the stacked containers, the two sides distanced themselves and began to confront each other.

"Maybe you really are not Batman...but it doesn't matter. I can make you into a bat specimen and give it to him," said Zsasz.

Lucian bit the tip of his tongue to clear his mind, and then he felt his tongue moving: "Actually... I am Batman." Lucian took control of his body - this was a planned thing, allowing him to become Batman, rather than letting Batman hide in his body and become Didi Kuai Da.

He put the Green Lantern Ring on his hand.

……

Now it really has become a contract ring.

……

This man, who is proficient in fighting, mingles with the dark side, and believes that fists are everything, was shocked to see a green object like an inflated balloon appear in front of him.

It's a hammer with a sign that says "1000kg".

Zsasz:?

Obviously, there is something terrifyingly pure about the people of Gotham who have not been contaminated by super-powered people.

"I remember a theory... the so-called theory of criminals and heroes." The hammer fell down: "You didn't say that. I'm afraid your philosophical thinking hasn't reached this level." - It was said by the Joker.

"Detectives don't kill people because they see themselves as non-law enforcement officers... They are below the law."

The hammer fell, and Zas quickly ducked and fled. Another chain was swung at him, but he dodged it again.

Lucian whistled, "Look here."

Zas started to run away and saw a green Gatling gun out of the corner of his eye.

"Of course, I remember your theory... Killing is a way to liberate yourself, right? Then, you poor exhibitionist donor, the Bodhisattva is determined to give you the opportunity to ascend to heaven here."

"Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, six roots of pure depleted uranium bombs, one breath 3,600 rotations, great compassion to save the world!"

Green bullets burst out of the machine gun. Zas might dodge them, but Lucian would not miss.

The short criminal weaved through obstacles and did escape for a distance, but it didn't last long before the first bullet exploded in his body, splashing blood.

"Buddhism is boundless, its merits are immeasurable, and it can save all living beings!"

More bullets hit him.

……

Victor Zsasz is set to be just an ordinary person with superb physical skills. Lucian cannot beat him in terms of physical skills, but he cannot rely on his strong muscles to block bullets.

……

He fell in the middle of the leap, landing on the debris with a loud thud.

...It's thunder.

Lucian looked up and saw water dripping from the air, just like when he killed the clown.

…It’s raining.

He approached and heard Bruce's voice—just as he had said it back then:

——"He's dead."

……

At Cape Triangle, where the containers are piled up and where good and bad people gather, under the rain curtain, the green light power enveloped the whole body, emitting a bright light.

"Dawn Lights"

----

Lucian stood in front of Zas's tomb and placed a stack of documents containing his evidence of guilt next to the steamy flowers.

"Falcone is nice to you...at least there's a graveyard and flowers."

After expressing his feelings, Lucien brought up the topic he hadn't finished: "The reason detectives don't kill people is because they consider themselves non-law enforcement officers... They are under the law."

"Of course this applies in a peaceful society, but now, facing people like you, another sentence may be more appropriate - 'Crime is a protest against the abnormality of social organization.' A murderer, a sadist... You protest against the crime in the world, and I protest against your crime."

"...Perhaps you'd say that it's both illegal murder, so there's no such thing as superiority—those underground aren't much closer to the sun than those in the tower."

In the early morning, moisture gathered on the photo and slowly slid down, like tear marks or cracks.

"So, I'm not saying this to justify my actions of taking other people's lives. Okay, it's a reason, but it's just a reason I tell people other than myself... I'm such a hypocrite. I want to be a criminal called the savior."

Lucien lit a cigarette for himself, and the smoke curled up and merged with the morning mist.

No one responded to him.

……

Lucien often didn't know what he was thinking or what his purpose was. He just went with the flow and prepared his actions according to what "a good person would do."

This is inevitable. Having no desire means it is difficult for him to have his own goals. He is like a sucker fish, clinging tightly to large fish and following them.

----

Even if I can't see the sun, I still know it is there.

And knowing that there is the sun - isn't that the whole meaning of life?

"Months of rain... the atmosphere is starting to gather over Gotham. Look, is this scientific?"

Lucian huddled in an ergonomic chair, the Batcomputer's split screen scrolling through Gotham's weather conditions.

……

This is certainly unscientific, but this is DC studies, dark multiversity studies, and Gotham studies.

——The fall of the hero also means a change in the weather. Lucian still remembers his surprise when he saw the sunshine when he first came here.

"This means the plan was successful and 'Batman has successfully turned evil'." Batman said.

……

In the positive direction, there is a strange universe called Night Owl, where none of the superheroes are OOC and have become the dark multiverse... For the more resilient positive direction, superheroes are important, but not everything.

To the fragile dark multiverse, superheroes are everything.

"This reminds me of the classic question: do the times create heroes, or do heroes create the times? There's the question of the moustache and Germany, Napoleon and France, Steve Jobs and Apple... But the graphic impressions and written accounts tell me that, at least in Batman stories, the answer is that heroes create the times."

Placed on the platform, the bat mask with pointed ears was dark like a whirlpool.

……

The world recognized Lucian's identity as Batman and also recognized Batman's fall.

Then things began to develop in an unpredictable direction.

The people have launched a riot... against the bourgeoisie - much like Kill the Clowns, but much more realistic and impulsive.

As Bruce once said - he wanted to create a sense of distrust between the rich and the poor, to provoke conflicts, to add fuel to the fire, and to destroy before there is construction.

Obviously, this contradiction broke out under the stimulation of darkness before the universe returned to normal.
