Chapter 448: Transformation
Popular recommendations:
Although Spidey respects Batman very much, he does not agree with what Batman's father said in the future video, and he even pointed it out in front of Bruce Wayne: "Mr. Wayne made a mistake. If the order of things is changed, people lose their jobs, or are homeless, and have no hope, they will hate the rich.
It's not because you hate rich people that you lose your way and act like a clown. What Mr. Wayne said will definitely not be recognized by most people. Well, I'm sorry, I offended him. "
Peter Parker is very successful now, but before he became Spider-Man and was not selected as a player in the quiz game, he was also an ordinary young man who was not rich.
Therefore, he is naturally more able to understand how hard and difficult life is for the ordinary people at the bottom of the city. Of course, he does not hate the rich, because he has a rich friend who has been playing since childhood, and Little Spider's mentality has always been He is positive. He will envy his good friend who has a superior family background and a prosperous life, but will not be jealous or hate him.
But the little spider still stands on the side of the ordinary people at the bottom, unlike Thomas Wayne who, when he has money, treats the people at the bottom who hate the rich as clowns who have lost their way. This is both condescending and arrogant. The fallacy also proves the crux of why Gotham City is getting worse and worse.
Bruce Wayne glanced at the little spider, nodded and said: "You don't need to apologize. If it were the father I know, he would not have said these words, and he would not be angry at all because of your 'offense'.
Peter, you said it very well, but I actually don’t agree with what the father said in the video. "
Before becoming Batman, Bruce Wayne realized that his superior family background might blind him, so he disguised himself and went to the bottom of society to experience it in depth. It was only after he returned from the League of Shadow Warriors that he finally understood Human suffering.
Of course, Bruce Wayne knows very well that the words of his father in another parallel time and space in the video will definitely arouse the disgust of most people, and at the same time, it will also anger Arthur, who is already somewhat 'transformed'!
In the video, Arthur was lying on the sofa, smoking and shaking his legs, and couldn't help laughing. Outside the video, Arthur was also laughing non-stop.
"Hahaha, it's really funny. Doesn't anyone think that Mr. Thomas Wayne is more of a stand-up comedian?" Arthur smiled and put on an exaggerated expression: "I even plan to change my idol, really. , I really kind of admire him.”
"Arthur, I suggest you control your emotions." Little Spider reminded kindly: "Regardless of other reasons, we only consider the question and answer game. If your emotions are too excited, it will affect your judgment when answering the questions. ”
"What he needs most is a psychiatrist." Sheriff Gordon glanced at Arthur, frowned and said to Peter Parker: "My child, you have done a good job, but you are not a psychiatrist after all."
While they were discussing, Arthur in the video really went to see a psychiatrist. He was smoking a cigarette, with a strange smile on his face, and told the doctor some trivial things he had encountered recently, as well as some thoughts:
"No one will notice me at all. In fact, I am not sure whether I really exist..."
But the black female psychiatrist across the table always kept a straight face and seemed a little impatient: "Arthur, I have bad news to tell you."
Arthur slowly raised his head to look at her, his eyes becoming sharp: "You didn't listen to me at all, right? I don't think you ever listened to me seriously.
You repeat the same thing every week, ‘Is work going well? ’ ‘Any negative thoughts? ’ My head is full of negative thoughts, and you can’t listen to them anyway.
I said, I am not sure in my life whether I really exist! But now I know for sure... people are starting to notice me! "
When Arthur said these words, the look on his face was unusually serious. The psychiatrist did not understand what Arthur had experienced in the past few days. When the audience knew that Arthur said this because he committed the subway shooting. .
As a murderer, he was supported and sympathized by people who were also at the bottom. This made Arthur find the meaning of life. Of course, it can also be said that this was the final sign of his transformation into a joker.
The psychiatrist didn't understand this and just frowned: "They have cut the budget. We will close next week. The city government has drastically cut the budget, including social welfare. This is the last time we meet."
"All right."
Arthur lowered his head, his expression a little gloomy, and the corners of his mouth curled up to smile, but failed.
Perhaps because this was the last time for psychological counseling, the female doctor did not use the same clichés as before, but said bluntly: "Listen, they don't care about people like you at all, Arthur. Of course, they don't care about people like me either. That kind of people."
Arthur smiled and scolded Falk, put out the cigarette butt, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Then how should I get medicine in the future? Who should I go to?"
"I'm sorry, Arthur." The female psychiatrist just shook her head slightly.
She will soon become unemployed, and she doesn't even have a next job. How can she have free time to help Arthur?
As she just said, they don't care about people like Arthur, nor do they care about people like her. What's even more sad is that both she and Arthur, as people at the bottom of society, also endure more... The oppression from the upper class has to be divided and opposed in various ways, so that they deviate from their own position...
There is no doubt that the reduction of social welfare is another very heavy blow to Arthur, who was already in a bad situation.
Outside the video, Chief Gordon murmured: "Really, Gotham needs more than just an Arkham Hospital, but also these basic psychological counseling rooms. These social welfare measures really shouldn't be cut!"
Seeing this, almost all viewers have equated Arthur with joker, and naturally regarded this future video about Arthur as how joker was born.
Thinking of the crimes that Joker later committed that brought horror to society and innocent people, the audience shouted that Joker should be strangled in the cradle. On the other hand, some people began to reflect on what happened. What problem, where exactly is the problem, that makes Arthur become a joker?
Such reflection is obviously necessary, because there are still many people like Arthur in Gotham. This can be seen from the fact that after the subway shooting, the murderer Arthur received support from the people at the bottom.
If the final problem is not found, even if Arthur is killed, there will definitely be big trouble in Gotham! chaptere
