"Joker. This is not our plan."
Bain said:
"you… "
"Ahhhhhhhh—"
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the clown waving his hand.
He hummed softly, his face falling like a wronged puppy.
"Plans, plans, plans, hmmmm. Always plans."
"Everybody has plans. Everybody loves plans. Oh my god, look at me."
He rubbed his hands over his pale face again and again, then patted them quickly and showed his smiling face to Bane:
"I'm a lunatic, a lunatic! Look at me, do I look like the kind of person who would follow a plan?"
"You are the dog chasing the car." Chen Tao answered him, giving the standard answer.
Before he crossed over, many analysts had already analyzed the Joker's nature thoroughly:
"Even if you do catch up with it, you don't know what to do with it. You're just... doing things for the sake of doing things."
Of course, Chen Tao is well aware that these deconstructions of the clown are essentially the result of a blind man touching an elephant, and all the conclusions are just a glimpse of the whole picture. No matter whether one touches the elephant's legs or the tail, it is only the tip of the iceberg.
Chen Tao warned himself in his heart.
These conclusions cannot make people fully understand the Joker. He is a disordered, pale man. Even someone as smart as Luthor cannot fully predict the trajectory of his actions.
Therefore, we must respond to each situation as it arises and make decisions based on the circumstances.
"Oh, sweetheart. You still understand me."
The Joker made a touched expression: "You are more considerate and lovely, unlike Bane, who is a reckless man - although you are also always making plans."
He said:
"Oh, I'm almost fed up with plans lately. The Court of Owls has a plan, the police have a plan, and even Bane has a plan."
"You are a bunch of annoying schemers. You always hold your own little world tightly in your hands."
"Yeah, but you know~"
He said briskly: "I'm not a conspirator—"
Then, without any warning, his tone suddenly turned gloomy and violent in the second half of his sentence:
"I'm trying to make those conspirators realize how pathetic and ridiculous their efforts to control everything are! Hahahahahahaha!"
He bent over with laughter.
Then, he quickly straightened his body like a spring and continued as if nothing had happened:
"Oh, I apologize for my indiscretion. I wish I could stop myself from laughing like crazy, but he's really special... the way it plays in your head."
"Clown. I've had enough of your useless bullshit."
Bane said, "Where's that nuke I gave you? You were supposed to inspire him, you pale buffoon. But you ruined everything. You did a stupid thing, Joker. Way below your villain level."
"We could have completely crushed Batman."
He concluded: "It was a betrayal. I expected more from you."
"You expect anything from me?"
The Joker said, "No offense."
The smile disappeared from his face in an instant: "You are worthy?"
Bane pressed the button on the back of his hand, and the venom behind him began to flow into his body again:
"Batman, I'm sorry, but there may be an unexpected situation that I must clear up before we begin our final confrontation."
He even apologized to me, he really did, it made me cry.
Chen Tao felt like he had suddenly become a gift that was being fought over. It was a very weird feeling.
He squatted beside and quietly observed the development of the situation. At the same time, he silently gave orders to the many people outside through the communicator in his hand:
Be ready to intercept any nuclear bomb that may be launched!
"I never liked you, clown, hahahaha..."
Bain said, "Do you think I won't be on guard against your betrayal? Hahahaha!"
"But I had thought that you could at least help me attract some of Batman's attention—Puchi! Hahahahahahahaha!"
"What's going on?"
Bane covered his mouth, he began to realize something was wrong.
"How could that be? I clearly guessed that you would put laughing gas in the Titan Venom that I used to strengthen myself, so I was on guard against it, hahahahaha!
…precautions, and made sure that the venom I poured into the bottle was pure, how could you ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”
He couldn't control his laughter. "I carefully checked every glass of water and every edible thing you touched. I never ate them. You would never have the chance to do anything to me—"
"That's enough, stop laughing!"
But Bane was completely helpless against his uncontrollable laughter.
"I'm going to kill you. Puff, hehehe..."
Bane said, "I'm going to kill you. I'm going to cut open your brain and make sure every nerve burns in endless pain and suffering, and make sure you never go into shock - AHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Oh, I'm so scared I'm almost hiding in my little boots. Hang in there, Bane. Maybe you can imagine something really scary, hehehehe..."
The Joker revealed the answer: "It's the air. Remember that time you came to me? That funny little pre-war plot? You came to me to tell me your 'plans' that were so funny that they made people's stomachs ache?"
"Impossible." Bain said, "I am proficient in pharmacy. I understand the composition of drugs. Even if you can concoct a poison gas with a delayed effect, it is impossible to accurately control the physical condition of each individual."
He said: "Logically speaking, the stronger the individual, the longer the drug will take to take effect, hahaha! If... if you really mix a delayed poison gas, the soldiers in the same room with you should definitely take effect before me, unless this poison gas is..."
"That's right, smart Bane!" The Joker laughed:
"It seems that you have also realized it. I have designed a brand new formula for you! You know what? It is the love and care in the clown gift package that will make you a repeat customer! Of course, the premise is that you can survive tonight."
"Jesus, Bane. I'm a well-educated buffoon, and I know you. We've been together for so long, haven't we? We've been through thick and thin together."
The Joker squatted in front of Bane, who was grinning from ear to ear and lying on the ground, holding his stomach.
"You may be wary of me, you may never have trusted me in the first place, but you're always Bane. How boring, how predictable, how you try the same thing over and over again. How funny.
Do you really think you are pursuing something meaningful?"
"You've tried so hard to come up with all sorts of new tricks, but in the end it's the same old tricks that the Romans and Maloney used, Bane.
Defeat Batman, rule the city, build your own underworld empire, threaten the hero with hostages... it's so predictable, it takes away all the humor."
