Chapter 430: Batman: The Dark Knight (End)
In this game, Xiao Chou not only posed many difficult problems, but also secretly exchanged identities between his men and the hostages.
If the police rush to rescue, they will see the "criminal" wearing a small ugly mask and the "hostage" wearing a doctor's white coat.
In fact, the two have secretly exchanged identities.
Xiao Chou's plan was cunning, but unfortunately, his position could only take him to such a high level.
The power and speed of development of high technology are destined to dominate the new era. Through Barbara's surveillance contact, Batman and Cassandra can already clearly see the analyzed three-dimensional perspective of the building in their field of vision.
What's more, Batman has a permanent trump card in his hand, and the ace has already been reborn from the dead, returning to its original true face.
"Two bands, two perspectives." Barbara's voice came from the invisible earphones, "Alpha band is the first perspective, Beta band is the panoramic perspective, I wish you good luck."
Through the feedback from surveillance, whether it is the rescue team ambushing on the roof, or another rescue team moving up from the bottom of the building, or the "criminals" and "captured doctors" distributed on two floors.
The appearance of this comprehensive 3D perspective image of the building immediately made many comic fans and passers-by show astonished expressions: this section of special effects is really well done, handsome and cool, making people can't help but also follow the plot and pictures to get excited!
In order to prevent the rescue team from accidentally killing good people, Batman and Cassandra each went to the first floor to stop the rescue team's actions.
After discovering Xiao Chou's trick, Gordon immediately began to emphasize in the communicator: "Please pay attention, 'Xiao Chou' is the hostage, 'Doctor' is the target! Repeat, please pay attention..."
By the time the rescue team began to react and Cassandra had already taken control of the situation on the other floor, Batman immediately continued to go up, chasing after Xiao Chou's location and detecting the report directly in front of him.
Xiao Chou knew very well that Batman never kills people. When he saw Batman coming in front of him, he was not afraid but became more excited. He held the crowbar in his hand with a smile on his face and drove the hound to attack.
Batman had suffered from hound attacks in previous crime-fighting operations, so he was naturally prepared this time - when he saw the ferocious hound rushing towards him, he immediately activated the dog-repelling equipment loaded on his belt.
A long time ago, Su Yun's master Lu Shaolong said that the only thing that Hong Kong can surpass Hollywood is probably action movies.
Therefore, every fight scene in this movie was designed by Su Yun using all her connections to contact Hong Kong's best martial artists. Both the movements and the presentation effects are the result of the hard work of almost all the martial arts talents in Hong Kong. It can be said to be a classic fight scene with both posture and reality.
The close combat scene between Batman and Clowne was especially important and took a long time to design, but it didn't tire the two actors out enough - of course, the final effect on the big screen was also extremely shocking.
After the defeat of the hound, Xiao Chou, who overestimated his fighting ability, repeated the scene of being interrogated before.
But even when being beaten unilaterally by Batman, Little Chou, who thought he was a high-quality criminal, still laughed crazily and wantonly while enduring the pain, which formed an incomparable contrast with the self-control and forbearance of Batman next to him.
However, Chou is a madman who does not care about his own life or the lives of others. Facing such a brutal attack, his crazy counterattack even made Batman hesitate to act - there is still the problem of the two ferries waiting to be solved.
During the fight, he finally began to realize that Batman had gradually broken some of his bottom lines in his calculations. He gritted his teeth and looked at the clock not far away. The pointer was approaching midnight.
Even if Batman and the police can rescue the hostages in the building, they will not have time to relieve the crisis on the two ferries.
If I just hold on a little longer... I will be able to see a gorgeous fireworks show in the night sky tonight.
The camera moves from a close-up of the little ugly girl to the interior of the ferry. Both the ferry with normal citizens and the ferry full of criminals are plunged into a tense silence.
In view of Xiao Chou’s previous tricks and malice, both in and out of the play, there are complicated suspicions about the controllers in the ferry.
If what Xiao Chou said is true, then the person who presses the controller will become a sinner, but he can save himself and the corresponding people on the entire ferry.
But if what Xiao Chou said was false... then, whether this controller is a detonator that only controls its own ferry, or can control two ferries at the same time, it is a terrible test of humanity for the people on the ferry.
They didn't even have a chance to jump into the water to escape - according to Xiao Chou's character, he had said early on that if he saw someone jumping into the water, he would immediately think that they were "not following the rules of the game" and then "not following the rules of the game" by blowing up the two ferries in advance.
"The other ferry was full of criminals. They had already given up on themselves and society. Why were they still hesitating?!"
"We vote!"
Under the prisoner's dilemma, the darkest side of human nature finally surfaced.
Even though the military controlling the scene required paper ballot signatures to delay time, as the clock above approached midnight, the panic in the hearts of both the military controlling the scene and the citizens who had already begun signing to vote had spread to a disaster.
At the same time, on another ferry full of criminals, as the deadline approached, aroused a growing wave of calls.
“Why don’t you press the button?!” Compared to the one-third of the citizens’ ferries who still chose not to press the button, the criminal ferries were filled with shouts.
"Why don't you press it? There are only five minutes left!" On the other side of the ferry, the citizens knew that two-thirds of the people agreed to press the controller, but they still couldn't see the person holding the controller actually press it, and undercurrents began to build.
"We're still alive, which means they haven't pressed the button yet..." the man holding the controller murmured.
"You don't want to die, but you don't know how to take someone else's life. Give it to me." In the criminal ferry, watching the time pass by second by second, finally a strong criminal who looked poor and vicious passed the others and came to the person holding the controller, "You can say that I took it from you."
"I'm here to do what you should have done ten minutes ago."
The man holding the controller stared at the muscular criminal closely, cold sweat and movement coming to his face at the same time. With trembling hands, he handed the controller to him.
The next moment after taking the controller, the muscular criminal threw it out of the window.
When people in and out of the play saw this scene, a huge stone in their hearts seemed to slowly fall down.
Both ferries held on until the last moment, which may prove that in addition to the brilliance of humanity and the fact that "no one wants to get their hands dirty", there is also a little trust in Batman and the police that is almost as light as a feather.
Besides the two possible outcomes of harming others to save oneself and selfishness leading to mutual destruction, there may be another possibility with a small probability.
That is, Batman and the police work together to defeat the Clown before the deadline, so that even if the time is up, no one will die.
That little bit of light born from the darkness finally, at this moment, finally extended its tentacles of hope in this chaotic and disorderly city of Gotham.
At this time, Chou realizes that he cannot enjoy the fireworks show he had been looking forward to. With his mentality already broken, he forces himself to try to find a chance to activate the detonators of the two ferries under the attack of Batman.
Such a fight and scramble at the edge of the building would undoubtedly easily lead to accidents, and after a counterattack, Clown was thrown out by Batman.
But falling at such a high speed, the little clown just laughed even crazier and more wanton than before, until he was caught by Batman with a grappling hook and pulled back.
"You can't cross that bottom line. It's too difficult for you." The reason he was happy was because he thought he could use his own life to break Batman's rule of not killing.
"No, it's because it's too easy." It's easy to cross this bottom line, perhaps just a matter of a thought.
But after crossing it, that little bit of light that was just beginning to grow and spread will be extinguished again by the person who ignited it.
Batman never kills anyone, but he definitely has the ability to break the bones of criminals.
Xiao Chou has played all the cards in his hand, and this "gamble" between light and darkness should have come to an end.
"Do you think it's over?" Facing Batman's cold eyes, the bound Xiao Chou still looked nonchalant, "There are more and more crazy people in this city. What you see is the budding of kindness, but what I see is the coming of collapse..."
"Because the Knight of Light in this city is about to reveal his side that should be hidden in the dark..."
Realizing the problem in Chou's words, Batman immediately contacted Gordon, and only then learned that Dent, who had just come out of the hospital, had completely changed his appearance. He took the coin that really required luck and went to find the police officers who protected Cassandra one by one.
“他一直都對我說警方裏面有內鬼，如今他也迫使着警員成為‘內鬼’，讓我的妻子帶着孩子去了他的身邊……”戈登如是解釋道，
“因為卡珊德拉的‘死亡’，他的意志防線已經徹底被小醜擊破，成為了真正的‘雙面人’……”
“如今他報複的目标，也已經從‘傷人的狗’，轉移到了‘松了狗繩的人’那裏……”
這是一場你來我往的争鬥。
在這個過程裏，代表着正義的蝙蝠俠破壞了自己原先的許多準則，也失去了許多。
為了對抗小醜逐一打出的牌，釣魚執法、暴力審問、全城監聽……甚至是讓自己看好的繼任者，最終成為了處于光與暗之間的雙面人。
得知這個消息，蝙蝠俠就第一時間和卡珊德拉趕去了丹特那邊，預備從他手裏救下戈登的小兒子。
“‘芭蕾舞者’的身份讓我受到了一定的限制，所以，我們就将計就計，利用卡珊德拉的‘死亡’，讓‘黑蝙蝠’再次誕生在哥譚……我很抱歉。”面對卡珊德拉的解釋，丹特幾欲崩潰。
他這段時間的所作所為，完全印證着小醜的話語：瘋狂，來源于人類的原始本性。
即使是被引誘着墜落深淵，這些完全背離了自己從前作為的行為，那幾條曾經鮮活卻又悄然寂滅的生命……都是他親手逐一犯下的罪孽。
小醜打光了手裏所有的牌，但他這一張從“敵方”轉化過來的牌，卻是為他贏回了一局。
逼瘋一個人，只需要生命中最糟糕的一天，而經歷過那一天之後，到底是從此墜落與無底深淵，還是選擇用頑強的意志繼續堅守底線……都是自己親手選擇的道路。
哥譚的光明騎士，已經隕落了。
“我也曾經做錯過……但在選擇後續道路之時，有人給了我回頭的支持和可能。”所以，這也是卡珊德拉為何會說她可以為蝙蝠俠獻出一切的根由。
看着雙方的對峙，不知何時起逃離警方束縛前來此地的小醜，也是總算看出了真相：“我認得你了——刺客聯盟曾經最為出色的刺客，所培養的人形兵器……”
“你的親生父親，從來就沒有把你當成一個孩子。”小醜哈哈大笑道，“因為，沒有哪一個八歲的孩子，可以悄無聲息地暗殺掉一個成年人……”
“但理智，卻是人類的最終選擇。”蝙蝠俠回應道，“在可以發自內心地選擇之前，她并沒有‘自我’——因此，現在可以自主作出選擇的她，不再是殺人的兵器，而是真正的‘人’……”
在黑暗騎士的籠罩之下，再也沒有被瘋狂侵染的受害者。
而隕落的光明騎士，在最終醒悟之時，也是為了保護被瞄準的人質，而墜落進了黑暗的夜色之中。
再次追蹤而來抓住小醜的戈登，看着丹特那被燒毀的一面嘆息道，小醜最終還是贏了，哥譚的光明已經被他毀滅。
“不能讓小醜得逞。”蝙蝠俠搖頭，随後俯下将丹特翻轉出那完好的一面，“哥譚需要真正的英雄。”
為此，生于黑暗的騎士，可以抗下一切的罪惡。
不顧所有人有聲或無聲的勸阻，他已經做好了決定。
在坐上蝙蝠摩托之前，蝙蝠俠又看到了卡珊德拉的目光，無言地傳遞着她的意思：她始終尊重他的選擇，并希望陪同他走完最後一程。
從此之後，黑蝙蝠複歸香江；而蝙蝠俠，永遠屬于哥譚。
在結尾裏，面對不得不給“犯下多項罪責”的蝙蝠俠發出通緝令的戈登，他的小兒子不明所以：“為什麽……救了我們的人，反而成為了壞人？”
“因為他不是我們心中的英雄，只是一個……隐于黑暗之中的扞衛者。”戈登如是回答道。
“你逃不掉的，蝙蝠俠！”
“死期到了，蝙蝠俠！”
“到此為止了，蝙蝠俠！”
這樣的話，反反複複無數遍，在每一個夜晚，一次又一次，一年又一年。
但每個該死的夜晚裏，那個高大的身影，依然在這裏，依然在哥譚的夜空之中，伴随着蝙蝠燈的信號和随風飄蕩的披風，成為這一代人心中永恒的記憶。
正義的陽光所溫暖不到的地方，仍有來自黑暗的騎士在守護。
至此，一部時長超過2個半小時的電影，終究是落下了尾聲，随即，煥發出如山崩如潮湧一般的熱烈又漫長的掌聲。
當然了，在大範圍的好評和熱潮之中，也不是說沒有人，覺得蘇韻在拿蝙蝠俠給她的蝙蝠少女鋪路的想法。
唯粉的心理，就是只希望看見自家偶像最強大、最厲害、戲份最多。
可惜在現實之中，唯粉人數再多也不足以和廣大的路人觀衆比拟，因此這一版本雖然也有着各種各樣的異議，但好評始終都還是占據着更多的數量。
而在後來，總是喜歡将蝙蝠俠塑造成孤家寡人的各種新版本出來之後，那些曾經心疼自家偶像戲份不夠多的唯粉，才是開始在夜幕下更顯孤獨寂寥的高大黑影之中，回憶起了昔日曾與他并肩而立、全心信任的嬌小黑影。
孤膽英雄固然惹人憐愛，不過在這樣艱難的路上永遠只可孤身一人，又實在是令人嘆息。
而那一張永遠的底牌和王牌，是他面臨終局最終的底氣，也是他內心深處最深的救贖。
唯獨令人惋惜的是，卡珊德拉只在這一版號稱是“人設最完美最還原”的《蝙蝠俠》裏面出現，在此之後翻拍版本衆多不乏同樣優秀者，卻再也沒有出現過，那個與蝙蝠俠并肩而立的香江黑蝙蝠。
若未曾接觸過溫暖和陪伴，那麽方才可以承受冷清與孤獨。
在“一切都是蝙蝠俠的錯”之前，曾經有人這樣和這個承受了無數責任和責備的男人說過：“沒有人要求你必須完美無瑕”。
你已經全力以赴過，如果失敗了，那麽争取下次做得更好——就是這樣。
做一個“好人”很困難，人們總是會用放大鏡去一點點地揪他做得不夠好的地方；而“壞人”只需要一秒鐘的猶豫，就會有人開始認為他仍然“良知未泯”。
這樣的想法和做法，不止是來自于戲裏的劇情，更是來自于戲外的生活。
在《蝙蝠俠：黑暗騎士》熱播之時，蘇韻受到了許多來自于漫畫粉絲以及影迷的信件，但唯獨是一封出自于一個八歲小男孩的信，讓她以及許多人都感受到了一絲基于電影所要傳遞的思想、繼而帶來的一些誕生在現實中的影響。
在信裏，小男孩先是表明了他和他的父親都是《蝙蝠俠》漫畫和電視劇的粉絲，很喜歡這一部真人電影，接着就話鋒一轉，開始用稚嫩的筆觸，去描繪起一個差點破碎的家庭。
小男孩的母親是一名警察，在一次案件之後被罪犯的家屬記恨，因此這個罪犯家屬就去劫持了和同學回家的小男孩，以此來報複小男孩的母親。
得知這個消息，小男孩的母親拼盡全力去救援，最終成功救下了小男孩和他的同學，但小男孩也是在罪犯家屬的垂死掙紮裏傷到了腿，從此就只能在輪椅上生活，哪怕能拄着拐杖重新站起來，亦是再也不能像以前一樣活潑地奔跑在陽光之下。
為此，小男孩的父親在仇恨罪犯家屬的同時，也是免不了對“促成”這個結局的妻子心懷不滿。
“爸爸媽媽都比以前更疼我了，也有更多時間陪我了，但我不想這樣……”
“我很害怕……他們一直在争吵，在我看得見和看不見的地方，我不想看見他們這個樣子，我鄰居妹妹的一家從前就是這樣，然後她就沒有爸爸媽媽了……”
“明明傷害我的是那個可怕的叔叔，為什麽爸爸卻要罵媽媽不能保護好我呢？媽媽已經盡全力來保護我了啊……”
“他們争吵之後，會不理睬對方，然後又對着我哭……”
轉機是某一天的出門，為了讓不知何故越來越沉郁的小男孩開心一點，父親就帶着他一起去了電影院，看他們最喜歡的《蝙蝠俠》的電影版。
時年八歲的孩子還不懂何謂“換位思考”，但在信裏寫到，他的父親在看到蝙蝠俠只能選擇前往一邊救援時，他就再次提到了那個令他從此不能奔跑的事故的內情：“當時我和小約翰就是這樣，那個可怕的叔叔把我們放在了兩邊，小約翰的哮喘發作了，我讓媽媽先救他……”
“爸爸也是知道這個的，但他一直都覺得，這是媽媽還沒有盡力。”
“直到他憤怒地在罵完小醜很壞之後，才慢慢開始露出了一個奇怪的表情，然後就抱着我哭了起來……”
“等電影結束後，回到家裏，我終于能看到……爸爸媽媽不再吵架，而是擁抱着對方道歉、哭泣的場景……”
At the end of this long letter with crooked handwriting and childish yet extremely touching handwriting, the little boy expressed his love and admiration for Batman and wrote hopefully: "Maybe I will never be Batman when I grow up, but maybe I can be an assistant like Barbara and provide Batman with all the help I can..."
This touching story was spread and the media dug up the details of the incident. People then realized that since the police switched to more powerful weapons after the Miami incident, the police's success rate in operations has increased, but they have also encountered more retaliation than before.
When people think about how, in unknown places, people who provide security for everyone are deliberately retaliated against and their families are broken up, many people have changed their mindsets and have gradually stepped forward to provide comfort and care for those who have been retaliated against, and to speak out for them, hoping to infect more people to understand, tolerate and support them.
Don't let heroes shed tears after bleeding - this seemingly simple sentence requires extremely difficult mutual understanding and empathy.
But at least someone has taken the first step and started to lead others to continue.
Many years later, when facing criticism that most of Su Yun's films were overly focused on box office and popularity, and thus lacked artistic height and depth, some people used these examples and a phenomenon in the scientific community to defend her: "... just like the Carl Sagan effect in the scientific community, people generally believe that scientists who do popular science are not serious scientists. Therefore, the improvement of social reputation and fame and fortune will also bring artistic and academic losses to people like Mary and Carl."
"Carl Sagan, who once hosted the famous TV show "Cosmos", became famous in Europe and America in the 1980s. However, he was also excluded and ridiculed by his "orthodox" colleagues. They believed that his behavior of popularizing science to the public was pandering and lowered the value of scientists... This prejudice caused Carl, an outstanding scientist, to be nominated for the Academy of Sciences three times but failed three times. It has become a historical problem and common problem in the circle..."
"It is undeniable that we need 'orthodox' scientific researchers and filmmakers who strive for excellence, but we also need popular science scientists and filmmakers who popularize and promote science to the general public. The former allows us to pursue higher academic and artistic achievements, while the latter demonstrate and promote relevant introductory knowledge to the world, so that this knowledge gradually becomes common sense, helping adults to complete the transformation of their thinking and helping children lay a solid foundation for their dreams..."
“People are not born with knowledge, but a good movie can guide and change a person’s cognition to a certain extent.”
"This is the duty and contribution of science popularization workers. Even if they cannot become the most brilliant and dazzling figure at the top, when many people are ignorant and confused, they will bring a ray of light to illuminate the way forward for these people."
"Thank you, Carl; thank you, Mary; thank you, all those who have stepped forward to popularize science despite difficulties - thank you for your presence in my childhood, and thank you and look forward to your presence in my children's childhood in the future."
