Chapter 62: The movie
The Dark Knight was finally released on December 22nd, 2009. And everybody known to John was called for the premiere. This time the premiere was held in New York instead of LA. John even invited Emma and the main crew of Harry Potter but they were busy with their shooting of Deathly Hollows. So they had to reject at the end.
John thought it was a pity but didn't pay much heed. Now almost everyday he and Emma exchanged video calls. John really felt he was the luckiest person alive as the relationship between him and Emma was progressing steadily and they actually had many things in common.
Tony and Bruce too came for the movie and sat beside him in the theater. The movie began. Several masked men appeared on the big screen, in everyone's field of vision. With a few simple exchanges everyone knew that this was a group of robbers, and the only person named, the Joker, is the planner of the robbery.
In the eyes of other robbers, this was a guy who sat high up. In other words, the clown was not among these people. The robbery went smoothly. Dare to plan the robbery of the gang bank, revealed the madness of the clown. In the process of unlocking.
"Where is the kid who broke the alarm?" said one robber in clown mask.
"The boss said, after he got it done, finish him off! One less person to divide the money, right?" said the other guy.
"It's a coincidence, he said the same to me!"
"What? No! No!"
boom! Companions cannibalized each other! Bags of money were taken to the gate. The robber who had killed before took the gun and pointed at the only other accomplice.
"The clown told you that after the money is filled, you need to kill me! Right! One less person to divide the money, right?"
"No, no, he asked me to kill the bus driver."
"Bus? What bus driver?"
As soon as the voice fell, a bus crashed into the bank gate, knocking the talking robber out.
"This guy looks out of breath, it's time to go!" said the last guy left to the bus driver.
"What about the rest?"
The bus driver jumped out of the car and looked around in surprise, not at all ashamed of killing a companion. The remaining robber shot without hesitation and killed the bus driver.
"Do you think you are smart?" said the bank manager who was shot before because he tried to be a hero. He was laying on the ground unable to move.
"The people who pay for you will make you end up like them..."
"The former bad guys were very principled, honorable, respectful..."
"Look at you, what do you believe in?"
Hearing this, the robber looked at the man curled up on the ground, strolling in front of him and squatting down, looking directly into his eyes, and slowly said
"I believe whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you.. "
"Stranger!"
He took off the mask, his green hair scattered around his ears, revealing the face of a circus Joker, his skin was pale, his mouth was painted with big red lipstick, and the corners of his mouth had deep, knife-cut scars. The Joker appeared.
Everyone in front of the big screen was slightly taken aback. Everyone realized that this clown should be the villain that Batman will deal with in The Dark Knight.
However, now it seems that the clown does not have any extraordinary abilities! Compared with the previous villain, the master of Batman, and the master of assassins, the Joker is more insidious and cunning, and seems unable to pose any threat to Batman.
The long-lost Batman finally came out. In a drugs trade, the Batman in the movie was like a hunter, driving a Batmobile and sweeping all the bad guys.
Director Gordon appeared, went to the robbed gang bank, and walked into the vault. After a few words with the assistant, Batman appeared beside them. Gordon sent his assistant away and showed Batman the picture of the Joker.
"It's him again?" Batman's tone was low. "Who else?"
"A gang of mobs." Gordon replied.
During their exchanges, another character appeared, the newly appointed prosecutor. Harvey Dent. He and Batman's childhood sweetheart Rachel became a couple.
Harvey had always admired Batman and hoped to take this responsibility from Batman. The police and prosecutors seized the bank with traceable banknotes, only to find themselves being mocked.
In the party of gangsters, the joker once again appeared with a proposal but was mocked instead. The guy in charge of money laundering fled back to Hong Kong, and after discussing with Gordon and Harvey, Batman decided to go to Hong Kong to capture this guy.
With brand-new equipment, jumped from a high building.The hang gliding wings spread out, flying around the building, like a real bat.
"Wow Bruce you and him have so much similarity with the batsuit" Tony laughed as he said to Bruce in a hushed tone. Bruce didn't say anything.
Finally the Joker took action. The Joker's conspiracy against Batman also began to show up in front of everyone. The body of a man posing as Batman was hung at the window of the DA's office building.
At the same time, a video was posted on the Internet.
"...Do you think Batman makes Gotham better?"
"Look, this is how crazy Batman made Gotham!"
"Batman must take off his mask and surrender. As long as he doesn't surrender, someone will die every day. I am a man of my word...hahahaha!"
The audience felt chills when they heard the laughter of the clown. They finally realized the horror of the clown. This was a lunatic who is distorted enough in his heart to completely ignore order and social morality.
At the political fundraising party organized by Bruce Wayne about the new prosecutor, Harvey Dent, the Joker appeared again and even had a confrontation with Batman.
Under the leadership of the Joker, the villains of Gotham City united, and Batman was gradually forced into desperation.The main theme of this film also began to show up in front of all audiences.
In the movie, people realized that power wasn't everything. Some people just wanted to watch the world burn. He was a special villain, not interested in logical things, such as money. Buying, threats, reasoning, and negotiation all do not work. The Joker was just for fun.
The appearance of Batman made him feel that he had found the best object of fun.
In the movie Harvey used himself as a bait, hoping to catch the Joker. He succeeded! The Joker was arrested by the police and Batman.Then at night Gordon received a call that Harvey was missing.
He immediately went to the prison and found the Joker, and Batman arrived at the same time. Here is what the audience is most looking forward to. Batman and Joker's head-to-head confrontation!
"You want to see me, I'm here!"
Batman punched the table in front of the Joker, giving the Joker a warning first.
"I want to see what you are going to do, you really did not let me down... Batman, you let 5 people die because of you, and then let Harvey Dent take the blame for you, even in the eyes of people like me, It's too cold-blooded!"
The Joker was talking, but was forcibly interrupted by the impatient Batman.
"Where is Harvey?"
"There is no turning back, you changed everything!"
The Joker laughed, madly "You, you complete me!"
