Chapter 128

"Don't be nervous, I just have one question… where is Harvey Dent?"

The Joker even casually grabbed a skewer of grilled bird on his way out, as easygoing as if he were at a buffet.

A magnetic, captivating villain, standing in stark contrast to the panicked socialites around him.

This scene was also improvised by Xu Can on the spot; Nolan's shock on set was no less than Zhang emo's.

Batman hurried to hide Harvey Dent and switched into his batsuit.

Only Rachel faced the Joker on set; the Joker grabbed her and shoved a knife into her mouth.

Watching this clip, the actress Katie can still recall the terror on set to this day, and can't help but shiver.

During the shoot, she was terrified Xu Can would suddenly snap and just slash her with the knife.

So the suppressed panic in Rachel's eyes in the film wasn't acting — it was her genuine, gut-level feeling!

How did the sunny, handsome Spider-Man turn into this?

When it comes to acting, Katie has to admit Xu Can's performance has already surpassed her husband Tom Cruise.

"You must be Harvey Dent's little sweetheart, right? Pretty cute."

"You're nervous? Scared of the scars on my face?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you how I got these scars."

"I once had a wife, as beautiful as you. She always said I was too gloomy, she said I should smile more…"

"Why-so-serious?"

"Why-so-serious!!" The Joker's deep, eerie voice was like the whisper of a demon!

It rang in everyone's ears, making the whole theater shudder in unison!

"Later she was disfigured. I didn't care about the scars on her face — I just wanted to see her smile…"

"So I took a knife and shoved it in my mouth… just like that, I put a smile on my own face."

"You know what? She actually looked down on my scars! She ran off with someone else!"

"Now I always wear a smile… oh-heh-heh-heh-heh."

At the critical moment, Batman's hoarse voice finally rang out.

"You won't be laughing anymore after this!"

Bang!

Batman burst from the shadows, knocked the Joker back with a single punch, and took on multiple thugs alone.

The Joker didn't fight him with flashy moves the way a traditional villain would.

Instead, in a thoroughly underhanded way, he kept exploiting Batman's openings to launch sneak attacks,

even going so far as to hurl his own henchmen out as human shields, hiding behind them to play dirty tricks.

This fight scene left the audience not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

In Spider-Man, Xu Can did all kinds of flips, triple aerial kicks, circus-like flashy moves;

In John Wick, likewise fluid Gun Kata, clean and practical mixed martial arts, the suited thug vicious and dashing;

But here as the Joker, Xu Can's fighting style was straight-up street thug — and yet you can't help but admire his brains.

Batman just couldn't do anything about him! So frustrating!

At the critical moment, the Joker took Rachel hostage, dragging her to the edge of the tall building.

Batman warned: "Let her go!"

The Joker laughed: "Oh-ho-ho, you asked for it…"

The Joker decisively let go, and Rachel plunged from the tall building!

The sudden twist made the whole audience's eyes go wide again — this villain never plays by the rules!

He has completely stolen the entire spotlight!.
