Chapter 829 The Charm of Education (Part 1)
Can DC really use the political correctness halo?
This is indeed a question, and it should be divided into several aspects. In the early DC comics, political correctness basically did not exist. Not only did there exist plots of children dying and being abused, but there were basically no heroes with certain special attributes that are well known now.
Of course, the DC editorial department did not make compromises for commercialization. Later, people of color had privileges, and the personality and appearance design of female heroes were also partially adjusted. In the movie universe, some characters of other races were also specially set up to increase the sense of presence.
But in general, it is more difficult to use the political correctness halo here than in Marvel, because the overall tone of DC is darker, and some operations that break the fourth wall like funny characters are not feasible.
However, there are other ways to use the political correctness halo, but just like the propositional composition, it must be used in accordance with the worldview style of DC comics.
Schiller knew that to deal with the Laughing Bat, it was still not enough to just put a shell on the world and make Batman laugh.
Another very realistic problem is that Bruce is always an ordinary person. His physical fitness and skills are not much better than ordinary people, and he does not have any terrifying self-healing ability or very powerful strength.
But the Laughing Bat is not like that. After being infected by the Joker, he also possessed the Dionysus factor. At the same time, he also transformed Robin into a sharp-toothed hound. Moreover, he did not appear alone. He also had a whole Batman team, and everyone in it had special skills.
Of course, if it is a later master Bat, he will generally choose to temporarily avoid his edge and then defeat him by fighting with wisdom, but Schiller is not sure whether the little bat in his universe can tolerate such a disgusting character shitting on his head.
Even if they are all Batman, the older they are, the more mature they are. Bruce is only 20 years old this year. Who hasn't been passionate when he was young?
Putting aside the laughter, Barbatos is also a big problem. When the time comes, Batman from other universes comes for help, will Bruce go or not?
According to his personality, he would definitely go, but those Batmans who have lived for 40 or 50 years have been hung on trees, and he has only lived for 20 years. He has not finished many courses and has not completed many degrees. In terms of hard power, he is definitely not comparable to those shrewd old bats.
In this case, Schiller felt that he could use the political correctness halo to add a layer of insurance for him, in simple terms, to put on a resurrection armor.
After becoming a formal angel in heaven, Schiller did not do nothing. In the past few days, he read the Bible and all the gospels over and over again, and he has reached the point where he sees who has a halo on his head.
After all, no matter how other political correctness factors are defined, in the European and American environment, religion is always the big daddy, and all actions and speeches must be cautious.
Violating other political correctness factors will at most be scolded, but if it is stained with certain religious factors, it is likely to disappear directly.
Isn't this equivalent to people putting the clearance strategy and the chicken stealing template in front of you? If we don't conduct a careful study, wouldn't it be a waste of the good intentions of the Bible writers?
When Schiller met Bruce in the slums, he found that Bruce's behavior actually coincided with the story of Jesus' birth.
In order to atone for the sins of mankind, God sent his favorite son to the world. After experiencing suffering, he was voluntarily crucified and shed blood for mankind.
Bruce has already experienced suffering, and what Schiller has to do next. Is to guide him to be crucified voluntarily.
Schiller is not asking Bruce to donate all his assets immediately, become a pauper, and then use all the money to improve human society. This matter is not so high in priority. After all, whether it is the entire human society or Gotham, the current situation can still be sustained.
In order to keep this best card, Schiller must first give Batman a halo.
Therefore, he exaggerated the current severe situation in Gotham more seriously, and sent Constantine to inform Batman of the cause of the darkness in Gotham, giving him a sense of urgency that the storm is coming and he has to move.
In the end, Bruce made a choice that only God would make. After stripping away the negative emotions and shortcomings of his own humanity, he regained most of his divinity.
Similarly, when he made the decision to bring absolute fairness to mankind and let everyone get ultimate happiness, it meant that he was willing to sacrifice everything he had to atone for the sins of all mankind.
This coincides with the story of the Son of God Jesus who voluntarily was crucified, bled and died to atone for the sins of mankind.
Of course, this is not enough. After Jesus died, there must be angels to guide him and saints to preach him. Coincidentally, Schiller is a real angel.
When he told the whole story in the church, it became a story that coincided with the behavior of Jesus in the Bible.
Suffering, baptism, temptation, sacrifice... Batman gained the same glory as the Son of God Jesus because of his behavior.
Then, in some dangerous events that follow, this character has a special meaning. He shed the last drop of blood for mankind, and when he died, he became the real Son of God Jesus.
This means that Bruce in this universe will no longer be a backdrop for a major event where he can die at will. His death must be epic, story-telling, heroic enough, and he must be resurrected after his death.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Otherwise, if you have written such a story with religious elements, but arranged the character who represents the Son of Jesus as a minion to be tortured and killed by other characters at will, the editorial department will be somewhat desperate.
As for God? The Lord doesn't care.
Batman, standing in the church, asked: "What was that light just now?"
Schiller, who felt that he had completed all his plans, breathed a sigh of relief, threw the Bible aside and said: "Nothing, okay, you can go back now, just put the paper on the table in the office."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but Batman stopped him. He said, "What about the next transformation plan? How do I turn the Wayne Group and the wealth I own into the power to transform the world?"
Schiller looked at him and said: "Are you in a hurry to do something? Do you think this can be done overnight? You don't think about liquidating all the property of Wayne Group and donating it tomorrow. Then everyone will be happy, right?"
Batman looked at Schiller silently. The atmosphere had already reached this point. He was already planning to be crucified. However, Schiller told him that you still have to wait in line. If you want to be a saint, you have to wait in line for a hundred and eighty years. Then why did he make so many mental preparations just now?
Schiller smiled and said: "This is what happens if you don't study psychology well, don't you know? What I am best at is creating tension and making people forget some very simple common sense."
"But it doesn't matter. You are not the first one. The last fool I fooled was the genius who built the Ark Reactor."
Batman took a deep breath. He was indeed affected by a certain atmosphere. He felt that starting from tomorrow, he would no longer be able to live in that luxurious manor, drive a luxury car, or have endless money to spend. Starting from tomorrow From the beginning, he was a pauper.
But in fact, even if he has the most wealth and the most powerful scientific research capabilities in the world, if he wants to achieve the level that Schiller said, by the time all these transformations are completed, he may be too old to move.
By that time, no amount of wealth would mean anything to him. After all, if you don't bring it in life, you won't take it with you in death.
"Okay, now, let's go back to the office and study where to start the transformation of Gotham. If you still want to see your ideals realized before you die, you'd better hurry up..."
Batman's brain began to work crazily, and he began to calculate how much time it would take to achieve the results Schiller said.
After much calculation, he found that, considering that he could live to be 80 years old, time was very tight now, and it was likely not enough.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and decided not to care about the fact that Schiller had tricked him. But just as he passed Schiller and walked in front, he heard a sentence coming from behind:
"Now, you can act according to your own consciousness. You no longer need to be afraid of injury and death. If you encounter a big problem that cannot be solved, just pray to God."
Batman paused and said, "...I don't believe in God."
"What a coincidence, God's favorite son doesn't believe in God either. Keep this style and you will become his favorite son."
After walking out of the church, it was dusk. Schiller and Batman were walking side by side in the alley near Gotham Cathedral. A truck drove past them, splashing a series of water splashes. Newsboys chased each other on bicycles, and the car bell rang. It kept ringing.
The bakery next to the street smells deliciously. The fat boss is cleaning oven gloves at the door. Gangsters are gathering in groups around the barbecue stall, boasting and laughing.
"Did you read the travelogue I handed in?" Batman asked.
"Of course, I watched it," Schiller said with a nod.
"If I can't accomplish all the things I want to do, do you think I should find a successor for myself?" Batman asked again.
Schiller took a deep breath. The slightly humid air after the rain mixed with the aroma of food, turning into a complex taste. He said:
"Batman. You don't understand education at all. When you see an outstanding child, you want him to be your assistant. After you take him home, you see the next one."
"There are many geniuses in the world. If you raise them up, they may be able to help you, but the only question is, do you love them? Do they love you?"
Schiller stopped at the alley, looked at Batman and said, "I know you think highly of Jason and think he is smart, sharp and talented, but isn't Dick the same?"
"The only difference between the two of them is that I've been teaching Jason, and you just threw Dick into school."
"If the dead little girl hasn't made you understand the importance of correct education, then I can only say that I was right in that report. Batman is a monster who eats children."
Batman narrowed his eyes, looked at Schiller and said, "That report was indeed written by you..."
"But am I wrong?" Schiller said very confidently: "You bring children home one after another, but you don't educate them and let them go down the wrong path. Isn't this worse than what I wrote? ”
"Batman..." Schiller sighed and said, "Sooner or later, you will realize how precious the love of children is. This is the purest feeling you will get in this world..."
"If you waste them all, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Watching Schiller's departing back, Batman thought of Dick and Aisha.
He thought that improving the education problem in Gotham was a great ideal, but before that, could he educate his children well?
