Chapter 337

~6 min read 1,161 words

Soon, under the program team's selection.

A shy girl at the scene picked up the microphone.

"Um, um... Hello, Teacher Su Chen! May, may I ask, do you think Batman won in the end, or did the Joker win?"

Countless audience members hearing this question also secretly clenched their fists!

Their hearts jolted!

【Amazing, young lady! You asked the very question I wanted to know in one go!!】

【She looks very shy! But I didn't expect her question to be so sharp!】

【But Big Brother Su Chen played the Joker... He must think the Joker won, right?!】

【..........................】

【I also think the Joker won!!】

【It should be Batman who won! Neither of those two ships exploded!】

【It was clearly Gordon who won!】

【Gordon's heart skipped a beat when he heard this!】

【Enough already! Stop using stale memes!!】

Inside the live stream.

Chaotic bullet comments kept pouring through.

Clearly.

Countless audience members at this moment also really wanted to know the answer to this question!

Because the core of this *The Dark Knight* is still a superhero movie!

Just like in countless martial arts works, most readers will focus on the level of combat power!

And the core of a superhero movie is the confrontation between the protagonist superhero and the villain!

Since it is a confrontation.

Then there must be one who achieves the final victory!

This is a war of justice against evil!

It is also a war of Batman against the Joker!

It is even more a war of Gotham City's hope against the dark side!

And on the stage.

Although Su Chen did not know there was this segment.

But clearly, he had already thought that audience members would ask such questions.

After slightly organizing his thoughts, he raised the microphone and said:

"Regarding winning or losing, what I want to say is, even at the end of the film, the competition between the two sides is still ongoing; there was no final verdict!"

"From the very beginning, when Batman went to the location where Rachel was being held as told by the Joker, Batman had already lost. Batman chose to sacrifice the White Knight to save his own lover. Here, he had already chosen his own selfishness and chose to abandon his principles!"

"And if we determine the winner based on each confrontation, the people on the ferries did not blow up the other ferry, and Batman caught the Joker and saved lives. This saving of lives was Batman's original intention and also his principle. He saved both the people on the tankers and the Joker. The result of the social experiment did not let the Joker succeed either. People still restrained their evil at the critical moment."

"Therefore, in this aspect, Batman won!"

As he spoke, Su Chen walked a few steps to stretch his body.

Staying in the VR pod for a few days and then watching a movie is indeed very tiring.

"And Harvey's death is a plot twist! The White Knight completely falls, Gotham City loses hope once again; from Harvey, we see that evil has won. Gotham cannot lose the White Knight, because justice must eventually prevail. Thus, there was a lie: Batman killed Harvey, and Gotham still has hope. But Batman became a criminal and broke his principles. So in the end, either Gotham City loses hope, or Batman becomes a criminal."

"A choice between bad and worse. No matter how he chooses, Batman has lost!"

"Although he didn't let the Joker completely succeed either."

"But the Joker successfully twisting Harvey was also completing one of his goals!"

"I believe that superheroes don't necessarily have to save everyone! Between bad and worse, bad is the correct choice!"

"For us who know the truth, justice has not failed; the people on the tankers did not die, Harvey is still the White Knight, and Gotham City still has hope!"

"For the citizens of Gotham who do not know the truth, the world is still bright, and justice will surely be upheld. The two sides of human nature—neither has the final victory. Maintaining restraint is upholding justice!"

"Therefore, the Joker did not lose, and Batman did not win."

Following Su Chen's words.

The expressions of the audience at the scene changed from enthusiastic to slightly stunned, and then they fell into thought!

But clearly!

Su Chen's method instantly convinced the vast majority of the audience!

Even if it was the same as many fence-sitting answers!

In the end, he didn't choose to take a side!

But Su Chen's answer... was convincing to most of the audience!

On one hand.

The movie indeed did not clearly explain the final outcome!

Does the fact that the ferries didn't explode mean the Joker ultimately lost?

Does Harvey's blackening mean Batman ultimately lost?

Without a final result.

The Joker and Batman probably won't end their entanglement so easily!

Even if Batman bears the blame and starts being hunted by the police!

Even if the Joker is locked in Arkham Asylum! Under strict guard!

But everyone knows.

Whether they reappear or not depends entirely on their own personal will!

And with the end of Su Chen's first question.

The program team quickly called upon a second audience member! A young man who looked like a college student! Wearing glasses and looking somewhat wise.

"I want to ask a question regarding the plot..."

"That is, why is it that in the series of human nature problems set up by the Joker for the public to choose, such as the mutual slaughter in the bank robbery, the self-mutilation of the gangsters, the splitting of the police, turning Harvey into Two-Face, etc.!"

"He was the winner in all of them, but on this issue of the two ships blowing each other up, the people of Gotham were surprisingly harmonious and coexisted. Even the criminals behaved more brilliantly. This seems out of place with the tone of the entire movie! Is there any deep meaning?"

And when his question was raised.

The scene also went quiet for a moment.

Clearly!

Many audience members had not thought of his question!

Or even noticed it!

At this moment, such a profound question being raised.

Naturally, it made countless audience members recall this scene!

Their hearts jolted!

【Holy crap, this brother is also very detailed!】

【Yeah, I was wondering when I watched it... why did the people on the ship suddenly become good!】

【The Joker's calculation of human hearts has never failed, right?】

【Maybe it's because when facing the threat of death, they discovered the greatness of human nature?!】

【I think it's very likely because there were too many people! If there was only one person, they would definitely choose to blow up the opposite ship!】

【Clearly, when threatened by the Joker, these people showed the evil of their human nature!】

【Is it possible that in a superhero movie, the ending can't be too bad!】

【This batch of audience members is easy to lead! Very savvy!】
