Chapter 481 Only the Joker can kill the Joker
Barry believed the Joker would get involved in the turmoil in Gotham, but in the original storyline, the Joker would actually be captured by Jason and used to blackmail Batman.
This former Robin wants Batman to choose between him and the Joker to live, which is actually quite terrifying. Jason is deliberately forcing Batman to break his no-kill policy.
So when the Joker saw that Jason was the one who came to arrest him, he immediately understood everything and surrendered. Whether Batman chose Jason or himself, he could enjoy the show.
This is the daily life of the bat family; they are always tormented, both physically and mentally.
Of course, this is all part of the original storyline. Rune is unsure whether this part of the storyline is under the control of that blue-haired guy, and therefore cannot confirm whether this part of the storyline is the same as in the comics.
However, this will not prevent Rune from replacing a Joker in the main universe with a clown. It is said that those who kill the Joker will eventually be assimilated by him, and Rune will never allow the Batman of the main universe to become the Batman Who Laughs.
That's too terrifying.
Therefore, the way Rune could kill the Joker safely was to use the Joker to kill the Joker.
Both the Joker and Martha from the Flashpoint universe are excellent choices for this role, but the relationship between Batman and Rune in the main universe is only that of trading partners, so—
Rune, I'm sorry to trouble you to make do with the main universe's Batman, but your parents' voucher is still temporarily expired.
Martha and Thomas from the Flashpoint universe have already been cast as Bruce in their own universe.
Poor Flash, unaware of Rune's scheming, simply sighed and stretched out his hands. "Grab my hands, you three. Rune, remember to cook me something good to eat when I take you back this time!"
The Speed Force does indeed violate the laws of physics, and its energy consumption is ridiculously small compared to the energy required for true faster-than-light travel. However, this energy consumption is relative to the spacecraft.
For an ordinary person like Barry, using the Speed Force still consumes a tremendous amount of energy.
This is why Barry likes to eat high-calorie foods such as pizza and hamburgers; he is really starved for calories.
The clown casually tore off a sticky note and wrote "I'm going out to play!" on it, adding a few clown faces and ribbons along the edges, making it look quite playful.
Harley Quinn excitedly grabbed Barry's hand, giggling as she did so. It was clear that this psychopath was full of anticipation for the upcoming dimensional journey.
Soon, the clown came over and shook Barry's hand, and he even tried to grab the golden energy that was scattering around the Flash.
But this is destined to be a futile effort, as without compatibility with the Speed Force, it is impossible to access such a cosmic-level power.
But Rune couldn't catch Barry for a long time. Barry looked at the mage in confusion and saw that a vortex-like portal had opened in front of him, with twinkling lights at the edges. He could also see the scenery on the other side from the center of the portal.
That's Gotham.
"You—you can open interdimensional portals?" Barry's expression made Rune feel somewhat ashamed. But there must be something wrong with this, right?
Barry should know that he has the ability to teleport across dimensions, otherwise how did Rune leave the main universe in the first place?
"Oh, I forgot, hehe————" The Flash shyly scratched the back of his head, while Rune just wanted to use his X-ray vision to look into the Flash's brain and wonder why someone like him would become a scientist.
Having just arrived in the DC universe, the Joker took a deep breath.
"The stench of urine, feces, blood, and some strange compounds—" He closed his eyes, carefully inhaling the bizarre smells in the air, then exclaimed with ecstasy, "That's it, that's it! Even the air has something that can get you high, God, this is Gotham!"
After the Great Purge, Gotham in Earth-Three became clean and tidy, and those strange smells naturally disappeared. For ordinary people, this was certainly a good thing, but for the clown—
Tsk, not authentic.
Harley Quinn was also happily dancing in the rain, and Rune could clearly see that the girl's dance moves were—
In the song "Song in the Rain," the baseball bat in her hand—a weapon enchanted with runes—serves as an umbrella.
"Singing in the rain, I sing in the rain~ What a wonderful feeling————"
Look, she's even singing!
"Well, Batman is still poisoned. If we don't hurry, he'll never be able to patrol at night again, so—" Barry looked at Rune, his troubled expression evident.
Rune knew what Barry meant, so he coughed lightly, a magical sound that drew the self-glow of the clown and Harley Quinn.
The monk tossed out a few pieces of gold, saying, "I have other things to do. You can go and have fun on your own. This is the starting capital. Have fun!"
""
The clown instinctively caught the gold, and when he saw what it was, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, then held the precious metal high.
But after laughing, the enigmatic hero looked at his lover and said with a cold smile, "It seems this world also likes to use gold to embellish a false order. Fine, fine, let's use their rules to ruin their capitalist game."
Harley Quinn responded with an excited laugh. They skipped and hopped away into the rain as if they had never been there.
But both Rune and Barry knew very well that these two twisted superheroes would turn Gotham upside down at some point.
"Oh my god, I just brought them both to the main world and I'm already starting to doubt whether I did the right thing," Barry wailed. "If Batman knew about this, he'd kill me!"
Rune patted Barry on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we all know Batman never kills."
"Is that the point?" The Flash's eyes widened. "No, you're an accomplice too. We'll share Batman's wrath, won't we?"
Rune nodded hesitantly.
Well, he won't stay in the main universe for long, after all, Rune and Doctor Manhattan have a prior agreement. Besides, he's already helped Batman solve the thorny problem of Barbara, so whether Batman will actually get angry with him is still uncertain.
As for the Flash, although they are comrades-in-arms, this means Barry has more opportunities to interact with Batman, and Barry also has a close relationship with Green Lantern Hal.
Fun fact: In the New 52, Hal often teases Batman, and Batman is actually quite cat-like—obsessive, vengeful, and controlling. Therefore—
Well, let's wish Barry good luck!
