According to the description of people who have watched the premiere of "Joker" at the Venice Film Festival, the relationship between "Joker" and "Fatal Joke", although the plot is different, the temperament and mood are completely consistent. In 1988, Alan Moore wrote one of the most classic comics in DC history, "Batman: The Killing Joke", which tells the story of the birth of the seemingly real clown and also expounds the crazy philosophy of the clown.
The rain continued to fall in the middle of the night, and the raindrops fell on the ground, like countless bullets hitting the bullseye.
Batman brushed shoulders with Chief James Gordon. He passed through the rusty iron gate and stepped into the Arkham Asylum. Director Gordon looked at Batman's back. For some reason, his heart suddenly felt uneasy. The intuition given to him from years of police experience drove him to quickly catch up with Batman and enter the lunatic asylum with him.
The two walked through the cells. The iron door kept the lunatics, perverts, and high-IQ criminals isolated from the outside world. It seemed that they had eliminated the danger and crime from Gotham, but the lunatic asylum was cold, gloomy, and desperate. Isn't the breath what these people desire?
The two came to the deepest room in the lunatic asylum, where the most frightening and the most unknown criminals were held, and this was the goal of Batman's trip: the Joker.
The Joker was sitting in the lonely light, playing cards on the table, Batman sat down opposite him: "I want to talk to you, about you and me, about life and death, we all want to kill each other, don't we ,but……"
The Joker didn't respond. Batman found that something was wrong, and asked him again, and the other party immediately showed his feet: The real Joker has long since escaped, and the one sitting here is just a ghost.
On the other side, in an abandoned amusement park, the real clown occupies everything in the originally deserted park, carefully planning his latest plan, and at the same time the deadliest joke.
The real estate salesman here has become another victim of the clown's just "following". The clown was thinking about his crazy plans and great ideas, and his thoughts inadvertently slipped into his remaining memories.
"Do you think I don't want to feed this family? Oh my god, I performed so desperately on stage, and no one laughed off the stage, oh my god..." the desperate comedian shouted to his wife in the run-down home, venting I have accumulated a day of depression.
But soon he knelt down in his wife's arms again, begging her for forgiveness: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be like this, I will take you out of here before the child is born, we want to move into a decent community." He knew. I love his wife very much, and his wife still loves him, at least for now...
Bruce Wayne searched for all the information about the clown in his bat cave. However, he gained very little, and no one knew who the clown was. Alfred brought refreshments, and Bruce sighed: "For so many years, I don't know more about the clown than he knows me. I can't guess what he is thinking or what he is going to do, how could he hate him so much. How about two people who know little about each other?"
Director Gordon also returned home. He was also collecting information about the clown, and was putting the news about the clown's escape from Arkham in the archives. The doorbell rang, and her daughter Barbara turned her head to talk and laugh with her father, and walked to the door.
The door opened, and Barbara only saw the black hole's muzzle facing herself, and the huge explosion of the firing pin echoed in the room, and then she felt a burning pain in her abdomen, followed by unbearable pain in her back. . She fell on her back and smashed the glass coffee table.
Barbara was lying on the floor with her hands weakly covering the wound on her abdomen. She turned her head to look at her father with the only remaining consciousness and strength. He was hit by a heavy blow, and the clown's laughter lingered in her ears: "Oh poor. My dear, I’m afraid you won’t be able to participate in the first performance of your father, it will be wonderful, but we are not friendly to the disabled, hahahaha!"
Barbara quickly lost consciousness, and she felt a lot of flashes, flashes, flashes in the dark...
The comedian and two men with smirking faces were sitting in the bar. He peeled the crayfish and said nervously, "Hey, I did this for my wife and the child who was about to be born. Let me tell you something. A joke, I was originally an assistant researcher with a good income, but I quit and went to be a comedian, so look at my current virtues, you can guarantee to help escape after finishing this ticket..."
The man in the side seat filled the comedian with wine, patted him on the back and said, "Relax, man, you can move out of here next week to live a good life. We know that you were a researcher, so I found You went to sneak into the chemical plant, but no one would doubt you, because you would be wearing this at that time." As he opened the bag to show the comedian what was inside, it was a red hood.
When the comedian made up his mind to do this vote, several police officers walked into the bar: "Excuse me, sir." They said to the comedian, "Madam had an accident this morning, unfortunately, we were killed. We are very sorry for this kind of thing. Come to disturb you... But if I were you, I would have another drink and then go to the hospital to see your wife for the last time."
In Gotham Hospital, Batman and the detective stood by the bed and looked at Barbara, who had just been rescued. "The spine was penetrated by a bullet. I am afraid she will be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life." The detective said to Batman. Said, "The neighbor found her lying naked on the floor and immediately called her to the hospital, but it was too late to repair her spine." "Naked?" Batman asked. "Yes, didn't anyone tell you, after she was shot, they stripped off her clothes, and then...it seemed...taken a nude photo of her...this pervert."
Batman squeezed the Joker's card in his palm, and his eyes shot a terrible rage. Suddenly, Barbara on the hospital bed woke up suddenly and jumped into Batman's arms: "Oh my god, Bruce, my god, what would he do to my father, Bruce, you didn't see his eyes at that time! Too! It's terrible!"
James Gordon woke up in a dazzling light, and three ugly gnomes in circus costumes drove him to the open space outside. Gordon found himself in a desolate circus paradise, where the mottled and shabby rides formed a very strong contrast with the dazzling lighting decorations, which was dazzling and disgusting.
He suddenly felt that he was naked, standing naked in front of a row of deformed show actors. He thought of Barbara, and desperately yelled at the clown sitting on the high platform: "Why!"
"I want you to do one thing, that will make any conscious person... crazy because of being too scared." The clown stared at Gordon, "Don't think about your Barbara, memories are rational If we don’t want to face memories, we have to deny rationality. But, is rationality important? Remember, in the face of horrible memories, you will always have a way out-madness!"
Gordon was tied up on an indoor roller coaster by the gnomes and sent into the boundless darkness.
Batman looked for clues to clowns in the darkness of Gotham, casinos, black markets, dance halls, clubs, prisons... He searched all underground places where crimes were taking place, and there was no news of clowns.
Instead, the clown found him at this time: a ticket to the circus.
Gordon is forced to shuttle through the colorful playground scene. The clown’s crazy grin is intertwined with the roar of the roller coaster. The clown’s devouring words are still invading his heart and nerves: "Don’t be like a coward, Chief! Who is in hell? Everyone is afraid, and the famines, wars, plagues, riots, and disasters in this world are not like the flames of hell? But I have a secret to keep smiling-I'm crazy! Go crazy! Go crazy!!"
The noisy and harsh music sang again, the clowns and the actors of the deformed show twisted and danced sickly, and the nude photos of Barbara appeared on the screens around the roller coaster track, painful expressions, distorted body, cruel bloodstained, silent Moaning, Gordon couldn't bear it anymore, and the roller coaster drove him to the brink of collapse: "Barbara!!!"
Gordon slumped in the roller coaster seat and slowly slid out of the darkness. The clown teased him provocatively: "Mortals! Use deformed values to make up for the ordinaryness of your body! Their inflated and distorted social conscience, Haggard, withered optimism, and their fragile and useless attention to order and rationality, once under pressure and fear... they will be crazy!!!"
The comedian still came to the chemical plant according to the original plan to perform the established criminal activities. He has no wives and children to take care of, but the money he earns can still allow him to organize a decent funeral for his wife. He put on the red hood and followed the two men in the factory.
Although they were familiar with the factory, they were discovered by the security guards. There was a gunfight between the two sides, and the comedians ran around with their heads in their arms. He rushed out according to his memory, but for a moment a dark shadow fell in front of him, Batman, "Hey, Red Hood, we meet again!" The comedian was so scared that he was so scared that he jumped over the railing. He fell into the chemical waste pool of the chemical plant under Batman's gaze.
When the comedian crawled out of the pool again, looking at his funny face that had been eroded by chemical waste, he laughed, he danced, he was crazy-the clown was born.
The batmobile's motor overwhelmed the clown's laughter, and the bat and the clown stood face to face. "I want to talk to you, about life and death, about you and me, what will we do..." As Batman pounced on the Joker, the two wrestled.
He took the opportunity to save Gordon. What is surprising is that Gordon did not collapse into madness due to tonight's events, but still retains his sanity as a normal person. He wants to punish the clown by law.
The Joker introduces Batman into the maze of an indoor roller coaster, where Gordon has just been tortured. Batman tossed between the traps that the Joker set up for him. He would never think of what mechanisms the Joker had prepared for him, and he could always rely on his agility to take a step ahead, just like every time before.
The Joker hid in the dark and attacked Batman with words, and asked him the ultimate doubt: "Everything is a joke, why don't you laugh?" Batman broke through the barrier and went to the Joker's hiding place. "Because I've heard these jokes, it's not funny." He finished, and threw the clown out of the room.
Batman's reason and Joker's madness confronted each other. They were like the front and back of a piece of paper, back to back forever, entangled and inseparable. Batman showed his kindness to the Joker for the last time: "It doesn't have to be this way. We don't have to all go to death. Maybe I can help you. We can work together to help you get back to the right path. You won't be alone." Kneeling on the ground in a daze, he told Batman the only joke that made Batman laugh: "..."
The Joker’s laughter and Batman’s laughter are mixed together, mixed with reason and madness, echoing in the air, the two laughed forward and backward together. As for the reason for the laugh, they may only know the reason, or they may not know the same. .
It rained again at night, raindrops fell on the ground, raindrops fell on the ground, like countless bullets hitting the bullseye.
