Which DC Hero is miserable? Gotham in the United States is looking for Wayne.
In Sin City, Batman's lonely figure weaves over the heavy buildings, while questioning and criticism, sin and intrigue are like nightfall.
Being an idol? Speaking for terror, he could only walk alone in silence.
Looking for a partner? Unfortunately, the fate is tempered, and the father and mother are the wife of the mother.
After watching Batman, those abusive TV series will no longer be able to touch your tear glands.
However, in the Batman series, there is a person who has the courage to compare with him, and even in a movie, he is blue and mentions the title of "the most miserable".
This guy's name is Jason Todd, and this movie, it's—
<h1>Batman Red Shadow Trail</h1>
Although Batman was abused all day in the comics, there were many fans in reality, and everyone was worried about him.
But this Jason classmate, he was even more miserable: he was voted dead by fans.
It all started with a comic strip.
At that time, Batman's good friend, the first Robin Dick Grayson, flew alone under the pseudonym "Nightwing", leaving Batman alone.
In order to make up for the position, DC arranged for a teenager named Jason Todd to become Robin, but due to Dick's presence, coupled with Jason's rebellious personality, it caused dissatisfaction among readers.
So in 1988, dc newsroom serialized a comic strip in which Jason fell into the hands of the Joker and was beaten to death with a time bomb around him.
By the time Batman arrives, the bomb has exploded, and Jason is unaware of his life or death.
At this point, DC initiated a vote: Jason live or die, decided by the reader's telephone vote.
The bell of the enthusiastic call rang wildly, and the vote result was 5343 dead and 5271 live.
In this way, the opening event of "Red Shadow Trail", the death of the second Robin, became a thorn in Batman's heart.
It hurt so much that even the fight with Superman in "Super Bat Wars" did not forget to give a shot.
However, although Jason is dead, DC's evil capitalist nature is still there.
Isn't it death? Resurrection continues to help Dad earn money!
So in "Batman Red Shadow Trail", the dead Jason was resurrected with an immortal fountain, and his temperament changed greatly, becoming a red hood.
In terms of ability, the red hood is not much different from Robin.
Well-trained physical skills, tinker cat-like black tech gadgets, and a brilliant mind.
It's like just changing from forgiveness green to stock market red.
But from the route point of view, the red hood is quite rebellious.
The Batman faction's philosophy has always had two of the most prominent features:
Incarnate the most feared appearance of criminals and frighten them.
Don't kill.
The red hood, on the other hand, believes that it is useless to rely on intimidation, and criminals are frightened.
To stop killing, you have to become the masters of evil and control them.
So he put on a red hood and briefly unified the drug scene, so that the drug lords of Gotham City fell under his umbrella.
Why would a drug lord listen to him?
Because the red hood is different from everyone else—
He will leave a certain living space for the drug lords, and if he does not listen to him, he will really be killed.
On the surface, this is a simple blackening story: the young dragon slayer is resurrected as a dragon after being killed.
But one thing doesn't make sense:
How can the red hood that has been fighting with the underworld for many years not understand the dark tide of the underworld?
If you force yourself in the battle of interests, you will inevitably be counterattacked, not to mention the sin city of Gotham.
There is only one answer -
All of this is actually a bureau he has carefully set up.
After the Red Hood muddys got the waters of Gotham City, three key figures jump into the Red Hood incident:
The leader of the underworld, the Black-Faced Man, plans to assassinate him in order to get his share back.
(Not to mention, it's a bit cute)
The Dark Knight Batman, in order to stop the red hood bloody "violence against violence".
Of course, there is also the jailbreak professional clown, who was simply invited by the black-faced man to help (play) fist (play).
Careful friends may have discovered that these three people are no strangers to Robin.
The Black-Faced Man is the boss of the underworld forces and an enemy of Robin.
Batman pours out his skills and is Robin's father and partner.
The Joker, on the other hand, is Robin's killer.
It's no coincidence that the Red Hood has long been calculated, and as long as he gets involved in the drug trade, it is bound to lead to the BlackFace and Batman.
And the only way to deal with Red Hood and Batman at the same time, the Blackface man is to sacrifice Gotham's big killer, the Joker.
Arkham Asylum is both a prison and a protector for the Joker, and only when he comes out can the red hood have the opportunity to accurately attack without hurting the innocent.
Dominates sin, but limits it.
Plot revenge, but do not hurt the innocent.
How can the style of the red hood be so contradictory?
The answer is hidden in the three words "red hood".
The once innocent clown was framed and fell into the shape of a chemical poison, that is, wearing a red hood.
Thus, the red hood represents a critical line of madness.
For Joker, the red hood was his last memory before he went crazy.
Taking a step back, it was a poor ordinary citizen, who stumbled and fell, and was Gotham's most notorious crazy criminal.
Similarly, for Jason, who has an extreme personality after being resurrected, looking back, it is still the proud and righteous Robin, and jumping forward is the road to becoming a demon.
For young Jason, the ambiguity and uncertainty of the red hood was too torturous.
He was anxious to make a choice so that he could get out of the confusion, but he was afraid that he would take a wrong step and never recover.
In the confusion, three words appeared in his mind - "Batman".
So, the red hood set up a situation, kidnapped the Joker, threatened to kill the Joker in front of Batman, and shouted out the classic line -
"Choose him, or me?" You decide! ”
This line that can make CP fans happy for a year really looks like "jealousy" at first glance.
When Jason returns from his resurrection, he finds that the man he has so much respect and love will not even kill a vicious madman for his revenge.
Therefore, this sentence is shouted out, and it is false to say that there is no meaning of "proving my weight in your heart".
But this dilemma is not so much about taking revenge on the Joker and lying to Batman as it is about forcing Batman to make a choice for him.
If Batman wants to stop the Red Hood from killing the Joker, he must kill the Red Hood.
Then the red hood will die cleanly, and in everyone's heart, Robin is still the same Robin.
If Batman chooses to let the Red Hood kill the Joker, it means that the "kill" line is no problem, and the Red Hood can go on.
The red hood that is uncertain about the future gives Batman the choice of his life,
Because he believes in Batman unconditionally, in his heart, Batman never makes mistakes.
But the red hood was wrong.
Longing was the most distant distance in the world, and in his eyes, the dark knight in black cloak was almost a god, perfect and tall, with countless moral codes.
Killing people is just one of many rules, and even if you kill the Joker, it will not destroy batman's greatness.
But in fact, Batman, who has been wandering in sin and fear for a long time, has already suffered a lot of holes in his heart.
He looks as solid as iron on the outside, and he can't even be regarded as a "normal person".
Therefore, for Batman, "killing" is the Macedonian defense line of the mind, and once broken, the sanity he has struggled to maintain will be broken in an instant.
The madness, fear, malice, evil thoughts, desires and countless other malice that had been forcibly suppressed would swallow him up, and with Batman's ability, it was not impossible to destroy the world after the storm.
(Batman of various wanderings in other universes also formed the "Dark Knights")
Regarding the contradiction between the red hood and Batman, Jiang Jie has a poem that is very well said:
"The teenager listened to the rain song upstairs. Red candles dim.
In his prime, listen to the rain in a passenger boat. The river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind. ”
In the eyes of the red hood is happiness and revenge, it is a decision of life and death, it is brave and fearless, a small principle, and it is good to break it.
In Batman's heart, it is the mountains and rivers that turn over, the heavens and the earth are impermanent, one step into the air, and the world is buried.
I can't see clearly, but I can't see it.
How can this disagreement be broken? No need to break.
Because that's the norm for fathers and sons.
In "Red Shadow Trail", there is no touching scene of holding a headache and crying, but the laying of father-son feelings is carried out consistently.
In terms of action design, the clean and neat volley of the red hood seamlessly connects with the memories of Robin's time, allowing people to see the time when they once fought side by side.
In terms of narrative, in a few strokes, the tacit understanding between the two people over the years is clearly counted.
In terms of line design, it is even more bloody and tearful.
Revenge or disagreement, in the final analysis, the elaborate revenge chess is actually a huge father-son confrontation.
Can superheroes kill people?
Evil should be deterred, if it should be controlled?
Everyone has their own answer, and no one knows what awaits us at the end of the road.
There is no right or wrong, just that father and son choose different paths.
They can disagree with each other, and they can even fight each other.
But Batman, the Red Hood, and even all viewers know:
The miserable Batman has a very miserable son, and they are all on the critical line of madness, stubbornly clinging to the last of their sanity, looking at each other affectionately on two roads.
And those good times will always remain in the heart.
For a father and son, this is enough.
