"I just want to tell you one thing, if you still can't become stronger, then you will definitely die in my hands."
 The clown put away his frivolous smile and suddenly became serious.
His words sounded like he was sincerely admonishing Wayne, but the malice contained in them was enough to make people shudder.
“I know what you want. Although I had this idea earlier, it was only when I saw you that I realized how strong I can become.
But it’s not that time yet.
 The power of fear?
 Fear is just a means, my goal is always justice under order!”
Batman said this, with no expression on his face hidden under the mask.
 But what he said was already very dangerous.
 “It sounds like I’m trying to excuse myself.”
 The clown smiled again, and he felt a little uncomfortable with the current Wayne.
There may be a being in this world who can bring more fear than Wayne, but there is definitely no being who is better at exploiting fear than Batman.
But letting Batman completely surrender to fear is not the result he wants, even if that Batman would be much more interesting.
“I was shaken, not because of fear, nor because of your appearance!
  But after seeing a being like Leoric encounter Diavolo and being unable to maintain himself, I was shaken.
  Has been shaking!
Who can guarantee that they can survive Diavolo's corruption?
 I think I have a strong will, but I am not so arrogant as to think that no one has a stronger will than me!
 At least, Leoric is no more fragile than me."
Batman's tone didn't change at all when he spoke, and you couldn't even hear any fluctuations.
 Even he himself didn’t know why he was telling the clown these things at this time.
Even though he was aware of his falter, he was still helpless in the face of powerful forces!
 “Ha, that’s cool. But what’s the use?”
The clown guided the conversation forward like a qualified flatterer. In order to prevent this interesting conversation from ending abruptly, he even used a lot of power to interfere with Rorschach, who was transforming into the Archangel of Justice.
 This is not easy at all.
The time that allowed him to obtain this power was still too short.
Even though he killed Belial by his own means and obtained the power of lies and truth, in the field of frontal combat, he was still far from reaching the level of Belial, the Demon King of Hell.
Especially when Belial faced Tyrael alone, he could only be beaten violently.
“I just figured out one thing before, that is, I have already grasped the rope to become stronger, and there is no need to focus on becoming strong ‘immediately’.
Whether it’s Diavolo or you, there is an invincible being above you!
 That was the most vivid flag, but maybe because he was too close to me, I ignored him intentionally or unintentionally.
 Do you think I can be that strong?"
Batman is still talking, and he doesn’t know whether his purpose is to delay time or what.
“Of course I admit his strength, but whether you can be that strong, what does it have to do with me?
 In other words, your future has no value at all to your present."
 The Joker finally appeared in front of Batman, no longer hiding in the corner of this field talking to each other.
He still looks thin now and is wearing the same purple suit.
The most eye-catching thing on the bright white face is no longer the eyes that reveal infinite cruelty and cunning, but the bright red lips that look like blood just smeared on them!
“Tell me your purpose. Although I understand you, I am also the last person in the world who cannot guess your thoughts.
 Who can know what you are thinking except yourself?"
Batman took out his hands from under his cloak, holding two axes in his hands, but he showed no intention of fighting.
 He was not stupid enough to ruin the opportunity to finally talk face to face.
Besides, regardless of whether the clown in front of me is himself or not, he doesn’t believe that I can defeat him on my own.
 And the situation has not yet reached a point where we have to fight to the death.
 “Huh, it looks good.
 What would you do if I said I wanted to work with you?”
The Joker blinked at Batman, and there was no indication from his appearance that what he said was somewhat true.
“After all, there are three demon gods above the Demon King of Hell, and the most powerful one among the three demon gods has become a great demon god. Now I am also his prey.
How about it, do you want to cooperate?”
 The Joker continued, and Batman fell silent.
  Admittedly, what the clown said makes sense.
 But this is not the reason why he can be believed.
Perhaps this guy just wanted to say "it's just a joke" at the moment Batman agreed, just to see a joke.
 Normal people’s thinking cannot keep up with that of a clown.
"I reject."
Batman looked directly at the Joker in front of him and uttered these words firmly.
Collaborating with a clown?
 No matter how good a plan it sounds, it will turn into a comedy during the implementation process.
 The clown is always the director, or the audience member who can make a cameo at close range.
 Those who are bullied become the butt of jokes, while clowns laugh more cheerfully.
“Gee, it’s really boring. So what if I hope you can replace Diavolo? I think it’s better to play with you than with that guy. After all, you are much more interesting than the Dread Demon.”
The Joker looked at Batman expectantly, his movements deliberately stiff.
Even his stance is a little distorted.
 The Joker's eyes moved restlessly, and even Batman could see the tremor of the other person's eyes.
 “I don’t find it interesting at all.”
“Of course! Of course! I know how someone as boring as you can have even a little sense of humor.
 It’s just that I can’t help but enjoy it. Will you one day be able to understand that the world itself is a theater?”
 After hearing Batman's answer, the Joker seemed a little irritable, and the smile on his face became distorted.
“Can you do this kind of thing? If you really and completely master the power of lies, then according to my guess, you will be able to make ‘lie’ become ‘truth’, but why didn’t you do this?
Perhaps you are hesitant because of your own strength, or that you are no longer able to distinguish what you call ‘the real appearance of the world’?”
Batman suddenly became a little aggressive.
In this world, clowns are not the only ones who can figure out other people's hearts, nor are clowns the only ones who can provide "treatment" to psychiatrists.
 Crazy?
 In addition to the clown, anyone can be a madman.
 The list of “madmen” will definitely include the names of these “superheroes”.
 Batman has weaknesses, but he is also the one among the "superheroes" who has made the greatest compensation for his weaknesses.
It’s just a joke to say that he doesn’t understand psychology or anything like that.
The clown stopped in place like a twisted puppet, as if the puppeteer was in a daze.
The weird postures of his hands and feet make the clown look a bit scary. He looks like everything but a human being.
“Now, you are a little more interesting. But we are still too familiar with each other. How can you say that? The most familiar stranger?”
