Chapter 70

Nolan was a little helpless, you are the Joker, not the Riddler!

The theater darkened,

*Batman: The Dark Knight* is now showing!

Los Angeles, Chinese Theatre.

*Batman: The Dark Knight* is now showing!

Stewart is a comic book store owner. The small shop doesn't make much money, but he likes to chat about comics with customers in the store.

The popularity of *Spider-Man* not long ago made Marvel comic sales in the store increase significantly,

Stewart felt a little regretful. As a fanatical DC fan, he hoped more that Batman's popularity could return to the peak from the trough.

*Batman Begins* warmed up a little after its release, but not much.

I heard that Xu Can will play the Joker this time and appear in *The Dark Knight*,

Stewart queued at the ticket window for a whole night and finally grabbed a premiere ticket.

He wanted to bring his new girlfriend over to introduce the comic world he loved to her.

However, his girlfriend Katie didn't seem to be interested in superhero movies.

"Will this movie flop like *Batman Forever*?"

"Don't know, the trailer is quite good."

"I feel that superhero movies are all like that, fighting back and forth, heroes defeating villains."

Katie pouted indifferently.

"Suspense movies directed by big directors are better; I prefer movies with depth."

On this point, Stewart found it difficult to refute his girlfriend.

Previous Batman movies were simply disasters,

*Batman Begins* could only be considered good, and he didn't have much confidence in *The Dark Knight* himself.

"If you don't believe in Nolan, can't you believe in Xu Can? He will definitely bring surprises."

At this time, the theater suddenly darkened, the IMAX opening appeared, and everyone became quiet, waiting for the film to start!

Tick tock tick tock—

Tick tock tick tock—

At the beginning of the film, Hans Zimmer's score rendered a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

Like the sound of clock hands accelerating, it kept pulling the audience's emotions, and the camera slowly moved to a building.

Bang!

The glass shattered, and the movie opened!

A robber wearing a Joker mask fired a hook.

On the other side of the street, there was a back figure full of oppression, also holding a Joker mask in his hand.

The camera kept approaching slowly, and this back figure became bigger and bigger, and with the IMAX giant screen, it actually made people feel breathless.

Five robbers wearing masks were working together, entering a bank from different places, preparing to implement a robbery.

Looking at the style of the mask, everyone already knew it.

The person planning behind the scenes must be the Joker!

At this time, one of the robbers also began to mention this name.

"Why does everyone call him Joker?"

"I heard he has strange makeup on his face... like war paint, used to deter enemies."

The robber wearing a mask swaggered into the bank and fired a burst at the ceiling.

"Raise your hands, bow your heads and kneel! No one is allowed to move!"

"We're here to withdraw money!"

The bank lobby was controlled by the robbers, and the people on the roof cut off the circuit at the same time, interrupting the alarm.

Where did this technician just finish the work, but was shot and killed by the robber behind him!

The movie just started, and it brought a little surprise to the audience!

In the bank lobby, when the robbers were controlling the civilians, one of the managers picked up a shotgun and killed a robber.

"Who do you think you're robbing?"

This bank is not a regular bank, and the boss behind it is the underworld boss Falcone!

However, his shotgun jammed and he was shot down by the robbers.

The robber responsible for opening the vault opened the door successfully, but was shot and killed by his accomplice behind him.

It turned out that the Joker told them to kill that person after completing the task, and the remaining people could get an extra share of money!

Such an insidious plan of black-eating-black made the audience widen their eyes,

the Joker hadn't appeared yet, his evil had gradually overflowed the screen.

Finally, after the bags of banknotes were packed, only two robbers remained.

One of them was very smart, pointing his gun at his accomplice.

"The Joker must have told you to get rid of me too, right?"

He was just about to pull the trigger, when a school bus broke through the wall and directly knocked him to the ground.

The school bus driver was also a Joker accomplice, and he wanted to help load the money after getting off, but was shot and killed by the last surviving robber.

However, the robber wearing the Joker mask came to the bank manager and put a grenade in his mouth.

"I believe that whatever doesn't kill you..."

Usually this sentence is, whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

However, the line was:

"...makes you stranger!"

The moment the robber took off his mask, the whole audience almost let out a low exclamation at the same time!

Joker! He is the Joker himself!

Xu Can had weird makeup on his face, revealing a creepy smile!

Since Warner Bros. announced the news that Xu Can played the Joker, the media had been discussing whether his Joker was qualified.

In the first version of *Batman*, Jack Nicholson's Joker was already a classic on the screen.

Film critics didn't believe that anyone's performance could surpass Jack Nicholson's Joker.

There were more and more such arguments, and even many of Xu Can's fans were doubting whether he could challenge Jack Nicholson and challenge for the Oscar for Best Actor.

Until this moment, when Xu Can's Joker appeared officially for the first time,

everyone instantly forgot the old Joker,

it seems that the Joker character is what it looks like now!

However, the Joker took the money and jumped onto the school bus, driving the school bus out of the bank,

and there was a team of school buses connected together outside!

The Joker mixed in it and successfully avoided the police's sight!

From the beginning of the film to the current 6 minutes, the whole robbery plan was watertight, thoughtful, and ruthless!

The Joker's image was established instantly!

People even forgot that this was a Batman movie, and their minds were full of the Joker's performance just now.

On the roof of the Gotham Police Station, Commissioner James Gordon turned on the Bat-Signal, and the Batman logo appeared in the clouds in the night sky.

This is how he summons Batman.

It's just that Batman is busy dealing with criminals.

Scarecrow and gangsters were trading, and ordinary people dressed as Batman wanted to act chivalrously.

As a result, both groups were tied up by the real Batman,
