In a certain plane, there is such a saying.

"Those who fight with evil dragons should be careful not to become evil dragons. When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you."

This passage sounds mysterious, cool, magnificent, and vague. People just read these words together and feel the breath of middle school that is coming, but they rarely truly understand the meaning of this sentence.

Because this is not a statement, but a question...it is asking: What is the difference between a brave man and a dragon? Is there really a difference between inside and outside the abyss?

The same sentence structure can also be replaced with millions of different doubts.

What is childishness and what is maturity?

Are there any right or wrong between the two parties who abuse each other?

In the eyes of wild beasts, are humans also wild beasts?

What is the difference between a person who uses violence to punish criminals and a criminal?

......

Well, these questions are too profound and too hollow, so let's return to Gotham, to the night of this sin capital, to many years ago, a guy who was also named "Freak"...Batman.

......

Everyone knows that Batman won't kill anyone.

He may smash your limbs, beat you to dementia, and throw you into a Black Gate prison where you can be disabled alive, and may make you suffer from lifelong disability... but he will not kill anyone.

You can think of this as a middle-aged paranoid who upholds the false heart of the Virgin. Of course, you can also understand him with a simpler idea, because not killing people is his bottom line. Because he wants to save the city... Although it has been filled with sin, he always believes that as long as there is still someone who can uphold the so-called justice, then the city will be saved.

Well, in fact, from a certain perspective, this is a very distorted and deformed psychology, because the so-called justice is simply a fictional illusion, but it is this psychology that makes him a "hero" full of sins.

Yes, the sins were all over the body, as I said before, Gotham City is an abandoned city, there is only sin here... Everyone here is a sinner. Of course, Batman is too. He is an extra-law sanctioner, no police officer certificate, no warrant. He shows violence in the night, everything he does is not allowed by the law. Like all those weirdos, he wears strange clothes and looks without a look, and he is even more strange than those weirdos, because his outfit is much cooler than any super criminal. In this way, except not killing or robbing... he seems to be no different from the criminals he attacks. And he doesn't rob because he doesn't need to rob. So not killing seems to have become the only kite string that can hold him down and not fall.

Yes, he can indeed kill people, and he even wants to shoot the criminals every minute and every second.

But...what afterwards?

Kill the next one?

Next one?

This is Gotham. If you want to eliminate sin, then there is only one way, which is to blow up the entire Gotham... Don't leave anyone left.

It's not salvation, it's slaughter.

So as long as Batman kills people, he will no longer be Batman, but a murderer with no bottom line. He is a more terrifying existence than any criminal...

So that night... all the super criminals in Gotham were stunned.

They saw the girl named Harry Quinn lying in a pool of blood, her graceful figure could make any normal man swallow saliva.

Next to her was a monster, a monster wearing a black cloak, almost integrated with the night.

...Batman, killing people!

At that moment, the sins accumulated for a whole life began to pull this self-righteous person to fall into depravity, resentment, hatred, madness, and thousands of emotions swallowed him up the moment the kite string broke.

A demon was born...

At that moment, all the super criminals realized that they had to kill Batman and there was no other choice!

But...how to kill?

He disappeared into the darkness again, and no one knew where Batman was. Usually, he always appeared from the darkness, then broke someone's bones and sent him to prison, but from this moment on, no one knew whether he would tear someone's throat directly after he appeared next time.

The entire Gotham City was in the most terrifying panic ever. All the super criminals hid, some disappeared, some left Gotham directly, and some were ready to surrender and hide from Batman in prison.

......

......

The penguin sat in front of Ziliang and told these things in a casual manner.

"So...this is why you criminals suddenly disappeared eight years ago?" Ziliang frowned and said, "No, if it was just like this, then Gotham shouldn't be what he is now."

The Penguin nodded: "Of course it's not just that simple, because there is not only Batman in Gotham, but another person...joker!" he said, and then seemed to be trapped in another memory.

After that night, Batman hadn't appeared for a long time, but everyone knows that it was because he had too many sins. The birth of a hero was extremely difficult, and the birth of a demon naturally took time.

At this moment, the clown appeared.

No one knew what he was thinking. In short, he did not hide like other super criminals... Instead, he appeared at the main entrance of Wayne Building with great fanfare...

It was a noon, and he was frantically shooting towards the crowd at the door of Wayne Building. No one had ever seen a clown like that. He did not laugh wildly, but was angry and roaring. He was swearing wildly, calling Batman a coward!

That day, he placed a bomb in the city. No one knew how much he had put, but it was certain that the clown was in a bad mood that day, and a clown in a bad mood was enough to blow up the entire Gotham.

The method to stop an explosion is very simple, because the clown has a device to detonate, just a light press.

But... the madman swallowed the release device in front of everyone.

It was then that people finally realized that he was luring Batman out... and seducing Batman to kill himself.

"What afterwards?" Ziliang seemed to have finally aroused some interest. His eyes quickly passed by the notes. It was hard to think about how fast he read. In short, he seemed very happy. His sleepy eyes were completely opened, his breathing was a little tight, and his face was flushed after excitement.

"Then..." The Penguin continued, "Then Batman appeared, and he came out of the Wayne Building... in broad daylight, in the sun... but he was not wearing that gear, nor was he wearing a mask... I was there at that time. Maybe the ordinary citizens and policemen didn't understand what this meant, but at that time, I already knew that Bruce Wayne, was Batman."
