It wasn't until the two of them were about to run into Canada that Arthur realized that Bruce had come to see him to perform a talk show at the opening ceremony of the music festival.
In fact, Arthur didn't take this promise seriously at all at that time, because it was obvious that no matter which universe he was in, Arthur would not be a master of comedy. Why would Bruce Wayne invite his unknown self? In the end, he still
It's really here.
What's embarrassing is that Arthur can't go back to the mental hospital now, because if he just shot a comedian in public, he would still have the chance of lifelong treatment, but attacking the Federal Reserve system would really be like shooting himself eight times in the back.
Arthur could only say that it was lucky that he was not Thomas's illegitimate son. It was hard to imagine how the little bean he saw at Wayne Manor could become so crazy after 20 years.
But Arthur knew that he had to go this time, otherwise the FBI would chase him to the ends of the earth, and without Bruce's help, he would not be able to escape alone.
So he followed Bruce to the transit station of Doujie, but here Bruce suggested to him to see a psychiatrist, but of course Arthur refused.
But from this, Bruce introduced his college major and study history to Arthur. It was also from here that Arthur learned that Bruce almost failed to graduate from college.
In order to convince this crazy teenager, Arthur had to reveal some of his own life to Bruce. He actually didn't expect Bruce to understand, because people of this age look at everything as if they can be saved.
Unexpectedly, Bruce did not ask further. Arthur thought that the matter would end just like that. This was not because he was low on vigilance, but because in the movie era in which Arthur was living, Bruce Wayne was still a child.
, it has nothing to do with Batman at all.
Although I have seen Batman before in movie theaters in the fighting world, after all, I have only heard it in vain and have not experienced it personally so I cannot understand what Batman is like.
Then Arthur was knocked down by Bruce's injection. When he woke up again, the operation was completed.
As mentioned before, Arthur has been a mental patient since his appearance, but his mental illness is not congenital, but caused brain damage due to the abuse he suffered from his adoptive mother and her adoptive mother's lover.
As for his illness of always laughing suddenly, not only because his adoptive mother didn't like hearing little Arthur's cries and forced him to laugh non-stop, it was also caused by brain damage causing disorder of the emotional mapping system and uncontrollable facial muscles.
reason.
Arthur didn't know what Bruce had done, but anyway, he saw a perfect brain on the brain CT scan after the treatment, and Arthur had a hard time describing his feelings.
Of course, he is a little bit angry because Arthur can be said to be the closest to ordinary people among all clowns. He has his own joys and sorrows, and he does not do anti-social things because he is born crazy. He is more like
He is an ordinary person who is oppressed, so he will naturally be angry.
But can Bruce still not understand clowns? He told Arthur on the spot that when he first saw Arthur, he felt that he would be a great comedian in the future, so he invited him to perform at the music festival.
After coming to this universe, before going to bail Arthur, Bruce even found a TV video of Arthur's performance to watch. As a result, he found that Arthur's topic selection and performance style were both very good, but they only affected his performance.
The effect is uncontrollable twitching and laughter.
Many people are disgusted with canned laughter that can appear at any time. People go to comedy theaters to buy tickets to watch performances not just to watch the actors laugh uncontrollably and awkwardly in some places that are not funny.
I can only live and laugh on stage.
This is actually the reason why Arthur's performance is not popular. Arthur's laughter syndrome is equivalent to adding too much unnecessary canned laughter to every talk show performance. You can't say it is not a good meal.
Rice, but with so much rat droppings in it, no one wanted to eat it.
And Bruce healed Arthur's brain, to a certain extent, at least preventing him from laughing uncontrollably. This means that Arthur has a chance to become a real comedy master.
Arthur was a little angry, but not much, because he turned around and went back to writing the script.
Although the clown in the movie looks very cruel, if you look at the details of several of his murders, it can be said that he has revenge. Even Franklin, who has nothing to do with him, was on a TV show at the time.
Arthur is treated as a joke, so Arthur's image is closer to a tragic ordinary person, rather than a natural madman full of crazy and cruel ideas.
Naturally born psychopaths do not look at their own age or the identity of the other person when they kill. But if it were a clown in another universe, whenever he could carry a knife, his adoptive mother and his lover would be in bad luck, even if they didn't care.
Did they abuse him?
Precisely because Arthur is more like an ordinary person, he understands the joys and sorrows of ordinary people better, and is more suitable to become a comedy master, rather than a clown who just wants to make another mentally ill Batman laugh every day.
Arthur used extremely humorous language to talk about his life on the stage. He first threw out an extreme explosive point to attract everyone's attention, and used flashbacks to tell how he was so confident and prepared to come to find Thomas.
The description of the confrontation is tense and exciting.
Then he used an exaggerated tone to describe Wayne Manor as a dungeon, and Thomas was like the evil dragon squatting in the deepest part of the castle. The brave man went through all the troubles to get in front of him, but was finally clawed by the evil dragon.
Broken nose bone.
When hearing this, many people were filled with indignation and wanted to complain for the Joker. They felt that Thomas was really rich and unkind. However, Arthur changed the topic and said that he went to Arkham Asylum to investigate and found that his adoptive mother was really a crazy stalker.
Kuang, he was not unjustly punched, and everyone laughed in relief.
Arthur stood up straight in the center of the stage, still with one hand in his pocket, but this time he tilted his upper body back and his chin back, almost creating a double chin.
"The most interesting thing about this is that, in addition to confirming that I am not Thomas's species, I also know why I laugh uncontrollably. What do you think it is?"
Everyone was rustling. They felt that the crazy mother must have been too busy stalking Thomas and neglected to take care of little Arthur, causing him to hit his head. Some also speculated that this was a hereditary mental illness.
"I don't know if you have ever had such an experience." Arthur lowered his head and started pacing, his hands still in his pockets, looking directly at the ground and said: "Your mother told you, you should do this and not that.
This is right and that is wrong.”
"Usually that's useful, because most of the time, it's really in your own best interest to keep your hands off the hot pot of soup. People who extol the praises of encouraging education don't have kids swimming in the pot.
, which proves that they are not encouraging about this matter."
"But children are not such simple creatures. Those cheering people must have the same idea as me. They are the most terrifying bastards in the world. You don't know where they get so many genius ideas to create for themselves.
A new way to die that the world has never seen before.”
"Then you started to take further action. You yelled at them at first, and then maybe hit them twice. Yes, I know this is illegal, but can you take them to the high seas in a yacht and hit them again? Do you think you
Who is it? Bruce Wayne?"
Arthur imitated Bruce's accent and accent and said: "Listen! My dear son Bruce! Look what I have in my hand! UNCLOS!"
"...But we are Americans, so this is a piece of paper! We only claim 3 nautical miles of territorial waters! This means you still have 98 nautical miles before you get beaten!"
Then he smiled and said: "Yes, this is my friend. He is so law-abiding. Rich people always have a way, right?"
There was another burst of laughter from the audience.
"It's okay to give them a couple of good kicks on the butt to stop them from killing themselves, and you'll soon realize how effective it is."
"Threats and intimidation are always the easiest ways to control someone. It's too easy, isn't it? You are an adult weighing nearly 200 pounds. If you walk louder, you can scare these cubs."
"So a trouble in your life is permanently solved, and things gradually become simpler. It will also gradually change from he can't do this so you threaten him, to you don't want him to do this so you threaten him and make a choice.
It’s always you.”
Arthur stopped again, faced the audience and said, "It sounds like I'm preaching, teaching you how to be a good parent, but I have to say, my adoptive mother made a lot of bad choices for me.
"
"Throughout my childhood, she thought my crying was unpleasant, so she chose to make me laugh, and she had to laugh, so I kept laughing, laughing uncontrollably."
The audience gradually became quiet, and people suddenly realized that this was not a talk show actor sublimating his own content, because the heaviness and sadness in it were too realistic, and it did not take a very keen ability to empathize to realize that this was not a joke.
"So we returned to the original topic." Arthur changed the microphone and said: "I was diagnosed with a mental illness, and then I went to see a crappy psychiatrist, and he looked at me impatiently, and
I feel like I'm taking an exam."
"Believe me, I paid an unimaginable price for this uncontrollable laughter, and it made me what I am today. The decisions they made for me in my childhood, and ultimately in my life,
Always making decisions for me."
Arthur spread his hands and said: "I was misunderstood, fired, and the psychological clinic I frequently visited was closed. The decision that society made for me ultimately made me make a decision."
"So if you realize at a certain moment that some of your actions are making decisions for others, always think in the worst direction."
Arthur drawled a long note and looked at Bruce.
"Then when you find that your act of kindness has led to someone making a good decision, you will be genuinely surprised and laugh from the bottom of your heart - just laugh."
