Chapter 72

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

The Joker also casually took a skewer of yakitori, which was even more relaxed and casual than a cafeteria,

a charming villain with full aura, forming a sharp contrast with the panicked social celebrities around him.

This scene was also improvised by Xu Can, and Nolan's shock on the set was no less than Zhang Yimou's.

Batman was anxious to hide Harvey Dent and changed into a Bat-suit.

Only Rachel faced the Joker at the scene and was grabbed by the Joker, who put a knife in her mouth.

Seeing this, actress Katie can still recall the fear on the set at that time, and couldn't help but shiver.

When she was performing, she was afraid that Xu Can would suddenly go crazy and cut herself directly with a knife.

Therefore, the suppressed horror in Rachel's eyes in the movie was not acted out, but her true feelings from the bottom of her heart!

Why did the sunny and handsome Spider-Man become like this?

In terms of performance, Katie had to admit that Xu Can's performance had surpassed her husband Tom Cruise.

"You must be Harvey Dent's little lover, right? Still quite beautiful."

"Are you nervous? Are you afraid of the scars on my face?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you how the scars came about."

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

"Why so serious?"

"Why so serious!!" The Joker's low and weird voice was simply like a devil's whisper!

It echoed in everyone's ears, making everyone in the theater shiver!

"Later she was disfigured, I don't care about the scars on her face, I just want to see her smile..."

"So, I put a knife in her mouth... just like that, I put a smile on myself."

"Do you know what? She actually disliked my scars! She ran away with someone!"

"Now I always have a smile... oh oh ho ho ho"

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

"I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh later!"

Bang!

Batman suddenly appeared from the darkness, punched the Joker back, and fought multiple thugs alone.

The Joker didn't fight him with all kinds of gorgeous movements like a traditional villain.

Instead, he kept sneaking attacks by using Batman's gaps in a quite insidious way,

and didn't hesitate to throw his accomplices out as meat shields, hiding behind to play tricks.

This battle scene made the audience laugh and cry.

In *Spider-Man*, Xu Can had various backflips, aerial triple kicks, and gorgeous movements like juggling;

*John Wick* was also a smooth gun-fighting technique, concise and practical comprehensive fighting skills, and the suit thug was ruthless and dashing;

By the time it came to the Joker, Xu Can's fighting style was simply like a street hooligan, but he had to admire his brain.

Batman couldn't do anything to him! It was so angry!

At the critical moment, the Joker hijacked Rachel and pulled her to the edge of the high-rise building.

Batman issued a warning: "Let her go!"

The Joker smiled: "Oh ho ho, that's what you said..."

The Joker let go decisively, and Rachel fell from the high-rise building!

The sudden change made the whole audience widen their eyes again; this villain never plays cards according to the routine!

He had completely stolen all the limelight!

"Some people just don't follow logic."

"He doesn't care about money, isn't afraid of threats, has no bottom line in what he does, doesn't listen to reason, and cannot be negotiated with..."

"Some people just want to watch the world burn."

The Joker's few appearances had already dealt a massive shock to everyone at the scene.

Previous villains, even if evil or cruel,

had never possessed the unique charisma of the Joker.

Xu Can's performance interpreted a brand-new Joker for everyone—a Joker who respected the source material yet transcended it!

Now, film critics finally understood why Xu Can didn't film *Spider-Man 2* or appear in his own Marvel roles, but instead went to the neighboring DC to play the Joker...

He was enjoying the performance!

Only the Joker in *The Dark Knight* could maximize the joy of acting.

By now, an hour of the film had passed, and the clash between Batman and the Joker had only just begun!

The Joker continued his killing spree; after finishing off the Commissioner and the judge, he set his sights on the Mayor of Gotham!

Bruce Wayne used high-tech devices to analyze fingerprints from bullet fragments, quickly locking onto his target.

The location was the floor above the site of the Mayor's public speech the next day.

The following day, Gotham police officers gathered to mourn the late Commissioner.

While the Mayor was speaking, the Joker had already infiltrated the crowd below.

During the gun salute, the Joker attempted to shoot and kill the Mayor,

but was fortunately saved by Commissioner Gordon, who took the bullet and sacrificed himself; in the chaos, the Joker escaped.

"Huh? Gordon is dead?"

"No way, just like that?"

The fans gasped in shock.

Those familiar with Batman knew that Commissioner Gordon was a crucial character in the comics.

If he sacrificed himself before even becoming Commissioner, how would the story proceed?

Filled with shock, they couldn't spare the time to think, terrified of missing a single frame.

At the next day's press conference, Bruce intended to reveal to the world that he was Batman.

If he didn't show up, the Joker's killing would only become more excessive.

The iconic scene from *Iron Man* was about to appear in *Batman*.

Unexpectedly, Harvey Dent publicly exposed himself as Batman!

The media below was in an uproar!

Bruce: "It's over, I've become the stand-in?"

The police needed to escort "Batman" Harvey Dent to prison, and inevitably, they ran into the Joker on the way.

He lay on the roof of the vehicle, firing his submachine gun at the cars at will—it was inexplicably cool.

The entire car chase and collision sequence was filmed live by Nolan.

The texture of the real vehicle collisions made the audience feel like they were right there! They couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Harvey Dent.

After a series of explosions, gunfire, and high-speed chases brought wave after wave of excitement to the audience,

Batman appeared in the Batmobile to take out the Joker's henchmen.

Only the Joker remained, driving a massive truck in pursuit of Harvey Dent.

At the critical moment, Batman rode his motorcycle and used a high-tech cable to entangle the truck!

Next came the most shocking scene among all the practical shots in the film!

Xu Can hadn't even been willing to put this shot in the trailer!

He wanted the audience in front of the IMAX screen to experience the intense sensory stimulation!

They saw the 18-wheeler truck, pulled by the cable, flip over in mid-air and crash heavily to the ground!

Boom!

The Dolby sound effects, combined with the massive screen, created an intense impact,

as if a truck had truly flipped vertically in the cinema!

The fans at the scene were pinned to their seats by this scene, their hearts pounding!

They didn't know at the time that this shot was filmed only once!
