Spider-Man's words brought back many bad memories for Jason. For example, that night, Spider-Man almost destroyed Gotham twice, and even ran in front of him to provoke him. Then he retreated and talked nonsense in front of Batman.
Spider-Man even said that someone bullied him at school. Come on, who bullied whom? I had a grudge against Batman, so I came back as Arkham Knight to take revenge, but you jumped out and said, "Who is the Bat now?"
Who is your favorite Robin?"
You said you're not good at words, but who is it that puts the blame squarely on Batman's head in front of Batman?
Of course Jason could tell that the little spider in front of him was not the same person as the Spider-Man at that time, but at least in terms of strength, how could Spider-Man be weak?
Spider-Man didn't seem to know how to explain it. He could only sigh and said: "Well, people like you won't understand. Staying here all the time is not an option. I think we can go for a walk on the street."
"What to do?" Jason asked.
"First of all, my bathtub duck exploded. I have to buy a new one. I can't take a bath without the duck. Secondly, you said that the person chasing you hasn't given up yet, so let's see if we can
He leads it out."
Jason also felt a little confused. He looked around the scene in the bedroom and said, "It's strange, why didn't he catch up here?"
"Come on, there's no place for him here." Spider-Man said self-deprecatingly: "Not to mention a whole hand with a dagger, he can't even put a finger in now."
Jason couldn't refute, because the entire bedroom was indeed a bit too full now. It was like trying to stuff an eagle into a sparrow's nest, and his neck hurt from staying here.
With no other choice, Jason climbed out of the window first and waited on the balcony. Spider-Man didn't change his uniform, but just put on a coat and slipped out from the balcony with him.
The two walked on the street and found that the reality here was almost like a dream. All the streets and windows were filled with suitable products. The lawns, shrubs and trees were also normal, and they did not look like they were about to jump at any time.
It looked like a monster.
"What did you mean by that?" Jason asked Spider-Man.
"What's going on?"
"It's just you saying I don't understand or something like that."
"Oh, this." Spider-Man sighed and said: "I mean, I have always been a pitiful little person, a nerd and a doormat in the eyes of my classmates. I lived like this for more than ten years, from elementary school to middle school.
"
"Yeah, so what? Didn't you gain a very powerful spider power?"
"But I survived without this kind of power. Do you expect me to become a person like Thompson as soon as I gain power? How is this possible?"
Jason seemed to understand a little bit, and he said: "So you are still used to living as before."
"It's not that I'm used to it, it's that I can only live like this." Spider-Man spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, how about using the newly acquired power to beat Thompson up?"
"why not?"
"Of course not." Spider-Man raised his voice and said, "Let's not mention that it's wrong to hit someone. I'll beat him up, and then what?"
"Then you feel relieved?"
"But I will be called a parent, and I may be expelled. To say the least, even if I become a popular person, wouldn't I be the second Thompson? I will only show off my power and threaten others with violence. Then
It’s just so annoying and I don’t want to end up like this.”
Jason opened his mouth but was speechless. The truth is indeed this. As a victim, Peter should know best how annoying people like Thompson are. So if he directly beats Thompson after gaining strength, it will also change.
He has become a person like Thompson.
"So you are going to continue like this? Continue to be a pathetic little doormat?"
"Of course not." Spider-Man said: "If he wants to continue to bully me, I will run. I didn't run before because I couldn't run away, but now I can leave him far behind, even if his
Nickname is 'Lightning'."
"Then you have no intention of doing anything to teach him a lesson?"
"He will always learn a lesson." Spider-Man said: "You don't think he can live his whole life by throwing fists, do you? This is not how this society works. Maybe it works in school, maybe it works for a while, but
There will always be someone who will let him know how powerful he is, and even then, it won’t be something he can solve with a beating.”
Jason felt that what Spider-Man said made sense, but he would occasionally hallucinate himself in the gaps between words.
He was a pitiful little boy at the beginning. It doesn't mean that he was picked up by Batman and he really became Batman II. He was so powerful and smart. In fact, compared to the criminals he dealt with, he was really powerful.
of the weak.
And his condition is much worse than Spider-Man. No matter how arrogant Thompson is, he doesn't dare to kill Peter, but the criminals he faces not only want to kill him, but doesn't the Joker kidnap him and still torture him?
So he wants revenge, which is natural and appropriate. He is not a saint, so why can't he take extreme measures to take revenge?
If we follow Spider-Man's theory, he would use criminal means to seek revenge and become the person he hated the most at the beginning, but so what, the former Jason would of course have thought so.
But later, yes, later Jason met Schiller, and he discovered that criminals are also divided into levels.
In that small room, under the dim light, Schiller pointed at the unconscious clown lying on the operating table and asked Jason to cut him open. Jason deeply realized that he was not as good as he imagined.
So extreme, this method of revenge is too advanced for Arkham Knight.
So this made Jason start to think differently. He didn't care about becoming the person he hated the most, but what about Batman?
Of course Batman hates criminals. If he became a criminal, would Batman also hate him? Of course, Jason felt that Batman didn't like him, so it wouldn't matter if he hated him a little bit more.
But Jason always thinks of Batman's past. A brutal criminal killed his parents. From then on, this criminal became synonymous with criminals in Batman's eyes. Do you want to become such a criminal?
Jason felt sick to his stomach at the thought of being classified as one of the criminals who killed Batman's parents.
Of course he had a valid reason, but what if the criminal did too?
Jason didn't dare to continue thinking about it. One step forward, he looked like Schiller, and one step back, he looked like the murderer of Batman's parents. From this point of view, being a criminal was a dead end.
Spider-Man's words made Jason start to recall how he lived when he was not a criminal, just like how Spider-Man lived before he had spider powers.
Jason raised this question, and Spider-Man really thought about it seriously and answered him: "Let's just make do with it. He can't kill me. If you can, just hide. If you can't, then you'll get beaten. It's just a matter of time."
You have to get through it."
"Have you never thought of resisting?"
"I resisted, but I couldn't beat them." Spider-Man sighed and said, "I didn't want to cause trouble to my uncle and aunt, so I studied hard and was better than them in at least one aspect."
Jason felt that Spider-Man was very similar to himself when he was a child. Unfortunately, he was born in this city, and the child couldn't run away, so he could only wander on the streets. He worked hard to learn a skill, but in the end he was picked up by Batman, right?
Like Spider-Man finally got the spider power.
Jason wanted to ask what happened to the Spider-Man Thompson he met that night, but Jason could actually think that he would either become mature or be destroyed, and this kind of person would definitely be taught a lesson.
So what happened to the clown? Jason thought about it and realized that actually, for the clown, being put on the operating table for dissection was not a big problem.
The biggest problem now is that someone rushed into this universe, claiming to have killed Batman, and beat Batman with injuries all over his body. The Robins were busy fighting back.
The fight between the two parties was lively. Although he had a mental problem and couldn't participate, the clown didn't participate either!
I don't like to join in the fun, and lying on the bed is fine, but that's not the case with the Joker. Just the fact that someone claims to have killed Batman is different from directly slapping the Joker in the face.
Where's the Joker? Where are you? You're not even in Gotham!
Jason then remembered that there was actually no Joker in his universe. Schiller used some technical means to remove the Joker virus from Henry's body. Although there are still some viruses in the blood, as long as Arkham Batman is not Batman, then
These viruses will not turn Henry into the Joker.
In other words, the clown is dead.
So how did the Joker die? It was because of Schiller. Why did Schiller come? It was because of Peter, how could Peter come? It was because Batman was short of people. How could Batman be short of people? It was because of Jason
He became the Arkham Knight, and instead of helping, he acted against him. So how did Jason become the Arkham Knight? Because he was kidnapped by the Joker. Didn’t the Joker deserve this?
In a sense, is this like Thompson, who learned a lesson from some natural social rules?
Therefore, this idea of expecting the perpetrators to learn a lesson is not completely pointless... What about Batman?
Jason already knew that kidnapping by the Joker was nothing. What he really cared about was that Batman found a new love immediately after he disappeared. Why didn't Batman learn his lesson?
Jason had completely forgotten that he had blocked Batman in the hotel room, which could be said to have completely broken Batman's paternal authority. He was now thinking carefully about what lesson Batman had learned.
"Hey, we're here." Spider-Man stopped Jason, pointed to the window next to him and said, "Look at that little duck, dressed up for Christmas, doesn't it look good?"
The two of them came to the window and looked at the rows and rows of little ducks. Jason glanced at the little yellow duck dressed in Christmas clothes with some disgust, but pointed to the side and said, "I think that one looks better."
"Are you serious? How long has it been since Halloween? Oh, I understand, you like that bat, right? But I only have enough money to buy one, so I think this one is better."
The two of them walked into the store while talking. The moment they walked in, they were stunned at the same time.
