Chapter 2537 The Battle for the Cloak (Sixty-seven)
Chapter 2511 The battle for the cloak (sixty-seven)
When talking about his experience in this show, the Riddler also sheds bitter tears. Bruce just brought Superman in and ignored him, hoping that he would disappear for such a long time in the main plot. I can only say that the Joker virus is really a killer.
Batman's brain is burned out.
Superman has lost his superpowers, not his memory, and his personality has not changed. He is still Clark Kent. How could he do nothing?
In order to prevent Superman from interfering with the main plot, the Riddler's task is to hold him back. Theoretically speaking, it shouldn't be a problem for the Riddler to deal with a Superman who has been weakened to the extreme. In fact, the Riddler did hold Superman back.
.
But this process is too painful.
Although Batman and Superman have similarities, it is their differences in personality and philosophy that cause them to have frequent conflicts and always cause confrontation and conflict.
As a human being, Batman believes that he is a supplement to the legal system of human society, and those criminals who cannot be punished by the law or cannot be completely punished are his targets.
As a non-human being, Superman believes that he is another system of human society. This system is called Superman's justice. He uses his own three views to judge whether this matter needs to be corrected. If so, he will
Do it.
What is somewhat counterintuitive is that Batman presupposes that the world is in order, and he is just a supplement to order, while Superman presupposes that the world is in chaos, and he is the savior.
Therefore, the two of them can never completely reach a consensus. As long as such concepts conflict, conflicts will inevitably occur.
In action, Batman focuses on establishing a supplementary order, the so-called Dark Knight's deterrent force, to deter and punish super criminals who want to stray outside the normal order. Superman uses himself as the order, and he
He praises those who think they are right, and punishes those who think they are wrong.
Therefore, Batman's psychological activity in fighting crime is "You are a criminal", while Superman's psychological activity in fighting crime is "You did it wrong." One is materialism based on social standards, and the other is idealism based on one's own moral conscience.
Therefore, the two men dealt with the Riddler's crimes in completely different ways.
Most of the Riddler's criminal processes are like this. He first creates a continuous crime, such as kidnapping someone, planting explosives, or threatening how he is going to commit a crime.
Then he will leave a riddle, and the answer in the riddle is the key to his crime, such as where the hostages and explosives are placed, what are the important steps in the crime, where is he hiding, and how does Batman catch him.
The Riddler will definitely let Batman see the riddle, and when he sees the riddle, Batman will know that the Riddler is committing a crime, so he will crack the riddle and catch the Riddler.
Because Batman will count the Riddler's act of creating riddles for him as part of the crime and a clue in the early detection work, so he will solve the riddles to stop the crime.
But Superman is not. He looks at these two things separately.
When you kidnap or plant explosives, you are hurting others, so you are wrong. But you are not hurting anyone by making riddles, so you can make them if you want. You have not made any mistakes in this matter. Why should I do it?
Are you held responsible for this matter?
If your riddle affects the appearance of the city, or brings trouble to others, then you should simply pay the price for this mistake, and it has nothing to do with whether you are working on a bigger case behind your back.
If I catch you scribbling, I will give you a verbal education, reform through labor, or at most you will be sent to the police station. When I catch you kidnapping or bombing, I will then impose justice.
In a normal world, the Riddler would find this game boring at most, but in the dream world, he has a mission, and he has to hold Superman back.
He must let Superman, like Batman, pursue clues to the case based on his riddles. Otherwise, Superman would only give him a few warnings when he saw the graffiti, so how could he be held back?
If you ask the Riddler if he has any good ideas, he actually doesn’t have any. The Riddler is different from the Penguin and Two-Face in that he does not have sufficient real-life experience. He is an unemployed vagrant most of the time. Unlike the Scarecrow, he does not have a major in practical subjects such as chemistry.
Skills, you can do scientific research papers when necessary.
He is probably the only pure liberal arts player among all Arkham criminals who fast forwarded to majoring in journalism.
This caused him to be very passive in the face of this situation. He did not have enough social experience to take advantage of social rules, nor did he have enough professional skills to do something behind the scenes.
What's even more tragic is that the Riddler is a real mental patient, and his behavior of sketching riddles is completely a manifestation of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Severe obsessive-compulsive disorder will prevent him from changing his behavior pattern and leaving little room for flexibility.
So the thing becomes that the Riddler draws a riddle on the road that Superman must pass. If the road that Superman must pass is not a very important main road, or if someone specifically complains to Superman, then Superman will pretend that he didn't see it at all.
If this riddle is indeed too obtrusive and affects the cleanliness of the wall, Superman will choose to find a way to erase it or cover it himself, doing the job of a city cleaning volunteer.
But this obviously couldn't delay him for long, so the Riddler had no choice but to show up and explain the gameplay to Superman, saying that the answer to the riddle could affect a major case. Superman asked him to carry a bucket of water and rub the paint on the ground while he was free.
clean.
The Riddler has no choice. He can only commit a kidnapping case first, then leave a riddle, and then put the hostage behind the riddle. Then he shows himself again and tells Superman that as long as you crack the riddle, you can open the hostage's hand.
After locking the hostage, the hostage can be rescued. This is how the game should be played.
Superman said: Do you think I am stupid? You tied the hostage. You are in front of me now. What riddle should I try to solve?
The Riddler got a beating.
Yes, even if Superman has been weakened like this, his body shape is still considered strong among ordinary people. After all, the size of the skeleton is there. How can the Riddler, who is considered thin among ordinary people, be the opponent of such a strong man?
? Even in the end, Superman was as thin as a bamboo pole, but he was still bigger than him. The Riddler couldn't defeat him at all.
Finding that this didn't work, the Riddler finally decided to separate the crime scene from the riddle, and leave a loudspeaker, so that he could guide Superman to track him down. After all, Superman can't hear someone committing a crime and ignore it, right?
Superman does intend to take care of it, but before taking care of it, he still has to erase the riddle first.
After all, they have said that these are two mistakes. No matter how big a case you commit, it is not the reason why you affect the appearance of the city. It is impossible for me to see you affecting the appearance of the city and still ignore it, right?
If the person who committed the crime is a normal person, then you can just wipe it. Anyway, in the end, you have to find me based on the clues in the riddle you memorized?
But the Riddler is not a normal person, he is a mental patient, and he has extremely severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. The whole process does not involve you holding a mop and wiping the riddle, so you can't wipe it, and then
The Riddler appeared again, and the Riddler was beaten again.
As I said before, Superman who can become close friends with Batman is not a normal person. There will only be monsters around him, so this matter became a confrontation between two big monsters.
After the Riddler painted Superman, he wiped it. The Riddler refused to let him wipe it while Superman was wiping it. Superman insisted on wiping it, and the Riddler refused to let him wipe it.
In the end, the arm could not twist the thigh, and the Riddler was beaten. After the beating, he was unable to commit subsequent crimes. He had to redesign the crime process and redraw the riddle. After the Riddler drew Superman, he wiped it, but the Riddler did not let him wipe it while Superman was doing it.
…
So the question is, are you tired of drawing riddles or guessing riddles?
Judging from the performance of the street graffiti boys, erasing riddles should be more tiring, because drawing graffiti is a hobby, and erasing graffiti is work. Although it is not easy to draw so many patterns, it is also difficult to erase or cover them.
But this is not the case with the Riddler and Superman. In the real world, the Riddler weaves riddles as a hobby, but in the dream world, he comes with a mission, and is forced to draw riddles repeatedly because Superman is not enlightened.
This is work for him.
After Superman lost all his power, he really had no more effective means to fight crime, but his sense of justice in his heart had not been wiped out. Now there happened to be an illegal and criminal act that he had the means to stop, which just happened to make him
Expressing his inner sense of justice and alleviating the pressure in his heart are his hobbies.
Moreover, the patterns designed by the graffiti boys at most have some visual aesthetic value and do not have any deep connotations. But the Riddler is different. Each of his riddles is carefully created and designed, and must use his brain.
When he used to play games with Batman, he could spend two months designing a wonderful riddle to match a mystery case, and enjoy watching Batman solve the mystery and investigate.
It's better for Superman. After being beaten, he can only spend two hours at most to think about one thing again, otherwise Superman will have to move towards the main line, and he can't be too slow when drawing, otherwise Superman will come over in a short time.
If I get another beating, I won't be able to draw the next riddle, but I won't be able to hold it off at all.
You can imagine the difference in the quality of output between two months and two hours. The Riddler is not a pig on the production team. If you ask him to create original riddles and think about cooperating cases within two hours, he still has to draw
On the wall, even the students at the Academy of Fine Arts did not do this, and the Riddler almost died from exhaustion.
And this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the Riddler's personality is more like an artist than a writer, abstract, neurotic, and eats aesthetics.
But with such a tight creative time, the Riddler is more like making shit in batches than creating art.
He himself knew how bad the riddles he created in such a short period of time were, and he even knew that the patterns he drew were also full of flaws and shoddy work.
Artists can gain happiness from the process of their own creation, and feel the continuous perfection of their works, which can give them a strong driving force, and even reach a state of being content with themselves and enjoying themselves. This is
This is also the reason why outsiders think many artists are crazy.
The most devastating blow to this type of personality is to let them mass-produce low-quality, full of loopholes, ugly and useless assembly line products. The inability to meet their own aesthetic and aesthetic creation needs will make them suffer and become depressed.
