Ukuphinda ubuye kwakhona kwi-Gotham: Ukunyuka kwabahlali: Woyisiwe Ukuba Wenza…

Ngaba IGotham Ngaba kufanelekile ukubukela ngaphandle kweNtlanzi Mooney? Mhlawumbi akunjalo. Kodwa itiers ezihamba phambili zeli xesha lonyaka, ezibandakanya uBarbara enxibe ilokhwe yasejele kunye neproto-Joker ehleka kakhulu, kubonakala ngathi kubonisa ukuba mhlawumbi eli xesha liza kuba ... elikhunjulwayo. Kodwa mhlawumbi akunjalo mnandi , ubuncinci hayi ngokwesiqhelo segama. Ndiyathemba ukuba kubi kulungile.

Ukuba ngenako ukuma ujonge IGotham kwakhona, ndiyathemba ukuba le mpinda isaza kukuonwabisa. Abaphangi ngaphambili, ewe!

Masicinge ukuba uyekile ukubukela IGotham kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, njengomntu oqhelekileyo onencasa elungileyo kwaye engonelanga xesha lasimahla lokuqhubeka nokunika lo mboniso ungathandekiyo elinye ithuba. Ndikufumene: nantsi impinda yokubuyisela kwakho.

Inkulumbuso yesizini ivula ngokusikhumbuza ukuba ekupheleni kwesizini ephelileyo, usana uBruce Wayne wayephezulu kumanqanaba eBatcave okufumana imfihlelo katata wakhe oyimfihlo… ndiyathetha, ewe, utata wakhe wayengenayo iBacave, wayengekho ' t noBatman (okanye ngaba yena ???). Utata kaBruce uyenzile unamagumbi afihlakeleyo angaphantsi komhlaba afikelele kuwo kwilayibrari yakhe, nangona kunjalo loo ndawo iya kuthi ekugqibeleni yiba iBatcave.

Ucinga ukuba kukangaphi uHarvey exelela uJim Gordon ukuba ukulandela into eyonakeleyo kukuzibulala? Njenge, isigidi sezigidi? Masiqhubeke nje kwaye siqale ixesha lelo xesha lesibini ngoku. Ndibala oku njengeyokuqala nangona ikwicandelo le-Previously On.

Amaxesha angakumbi kwiCandelo elidlulileyo liquka: ukukhanya ngokukhawuleza kuhlaselo lukaRiddler xa eqonda ukuba uNice Guy persona uyawa, isikhumbuzo sokuba usana uJoker (ogama linguJerome) wabulala abazali bakhe, emva koko waba sisikhumbuzo sokuba uBarbara naye ubulele abazali bakhe. Ewe, ubuchwepheshe, umbulali obulalayo wanceda uBarbara ukuba enze loo msebenzi, kodwa uthatha lonke ityala. Ilunge kakhulu; Umsebenzi wabasetyhini uhlala ungabalulekanga.

Nantsi intlanzi iwela kanye apha IGotham ekubhujisweni kwakhe… okanye sicinge njalo, unikwe ukuba uJada akazange atyikitye isizini yesibini. UPhengwini wayityhalela le ncwadi Ukufa kweDisney Villain .

Kulungile, nantsi ke siyahamba.

Sibuyele kumanyathelo eBatcave. Ewe, ayikabi yiBatcave. Usana lweBattave?

Emva kokuba uBruce noAlfred bebaleka beyokungena ngocango olutshixiweyo olufuna ikhowudi yokungena, usana uBruce ngokungenamsebenzi uphosa igxalaba lakhe ngokuchasene nalo, emva koko aqikelele ukudityaniswa okumbalwa, konke okungalunganga. Zilungiselele ixesha lokuphila ngokujonga ngamehlo abukhali kwinkani engachazekiyo kaBruce, uAlfred.

Emva kwalo mboniso, sifumana imontage emfutshane engenamazwi yomculo wento eyenzekayo edolophini eGotham. ULeslie ulungisa iqhina likaJim; UJim ujonge kancinci kunomdla wothando. U-Penguin ubulala enye yeebhithi zentlanzi phambi kwabanye ukubonisa ubungqina, njengawe. UBarbara okrelekrele uhamba ezantsi kwiiholo zase-Arkham Asylum, ebangela ukuba amanye amabanjwa angamadoda amnike i-ol-up-and-down. Ewe, iArkham Asylum idityanisiwe, ungakhathazeki ngayo.

Indoda enkulu enxibe iimpahla ekhangeleka ngathi yeyomnyama yonke igiya yehokhi iguqe phambi komnye umfana ongacacanga onxibe isuti ekhangeleka ngathi ngumlobi wombulali kaBarbara wesizini edlulileyo, kodwa mhlawumbi ayinguye (sine uninzi lwabantu abambethe isuti ukugcina umkhondo kulo mboniso). Indoda e-Suit ibeka ihoki-indoda ibhotile entle yokukhanya kweGatorade kwaye imxelele ukuba ayisele. Uyenza kwaye kubonakala ngathi uyayithanda. Lo ngumbono ochukumisayo malunga nobuhlobo bendoda.

Indoda yaseGatorade iyaqhubeka nokudubula isitrato sedolophu apho uJim Gordon enje ukuba aqondise ukugcwala kwabantu (uthi igama lakhe nguZaardon, kodwa uGatorade Man ubonakala elungile). Linda, uqondise ukugcwala kwabantu? Owu, akunjalo, wafumana enye idemokhrasi kwisizini ephelileyo yokuba ngumcaphukisi, akunjalo? Okanye… ngaba ndicinga ukuba iyakwenzeka ngoba iyavakala? Akukho nto ifuna ukuba nengqondo apha. Ukuthetha ngokungenangqondo, kukho umzuzu kulo mlo apho uJim ubeka umpu wakhe ngaphandle kwesizathu ukuze ubandakanyeke ekulweni ngesandla neGatorade. Kwaye iyasebenza .

Emva koko elinye iphoyisa liyabonakala, litya umrhumo, kwaye lamkela umntu owonileyo xa ehlekisa ngoJim ngokuthatha umsebenzi wakhe ngokungathi sína. Emva koko, ukwahlulwa kwesibini kamva, uJim ujika emva koko akhwelise ulutsha ukuze aphange inqwelo yesitalato ekufuphi. UJim Gordon, ikopi kuphela eGotham.

Emva kokubhala iZaardon, uJim ubalekela ku-Ed (aka Baby Riddler) kwigumbi lokuhlambela. Ubonakala emhle ngokwenene ngaphandle kweendondo zakhe, kodwa ababulali abayontlobo yam.

Emva koko iproto-Riddler yethu iqala ukuthetha yodwa kwisipili. Ngokucacileyo uneempawu ezininzi zobuntu ngoku, ezi… kulungile, ndiqinisekile ukuba ayisiyiyo indlela Disassociative Identity Disorder esebenza ngayo, kwaye, andiqinisekanga nokuba kutheni IGotham sive isidingo sokunika i-Riddler imeko enjalo yokuphambana. Bekuya kuba kuhle - koyikeka, nokuba-ukuba ebengumbulali obandayo, obalayo enentloko ekrelekrele emagxeni akhe. Akudingeki ukuba abe nobuntu obahlukileyo, naye. Ke, kunjalo, lo mfanekiso mibi kwaye unokuya kuphela kwiindawo ezimbi. Yayyyy!

Lo mbono uphela ngokucinga ukuba isiqingatha esibi seRiddler sinokuzama ukuhlasela u-Miss Kringle, ongu-Riddler's crush - i-gal eyabulala umntu. Ohhhh, zihlobo, andithandi ukuba eli bali liyaphi.

Ukubuyela kukaJim kwindlu yezinja kwakhona, ukufumana intetho-yokwenza nje umsebenzi wakhe. U-Loeb, u-Bad Guy In Power, ukhumbuza uJim ukuba wehlisiwe (oh, kulungile) kwaye iqabane lakhe, u-Harvey, wayeka (besesazi ukuba? Eh, u-Harvey wakhululwa ngebheyili ngaphambili, u-Jim wayehlisiwe ngaphambili, ngubani okhumbulayo). UCaptain Sarah Essen unyathela ukukhusela uJim ekufumaneni izembe, nakwilixa lesigidi kulo mboniso. Kodwa ngeli xesha, akaphumeleli. UJim ujika kwibheji yakhe nompu. Lindani, ndiziva ngathi le nto yenzekile ngaphambili. Nceda ungandenzi ndiyijonge, IGotham .

Ngapha koko, khumbula iGatorade? Usesesiseleni sakhe. Kwaye ujonge ukhetho lokuphosa amaqabane akhe amathathu angalinganiyo apha. Ngaba ucinga ukuba le yesine iza kudibana kwaye ibe lipolisa elifanelwe nguGotham? Nah. Abazange babuye. Kodwa, hee… umsebenzi olungileyo, isebe elinxibe impahla.

Ngaba unokucinga ukuba uthandana noJim Gordon? Sthandwa sam, ndigxothiwe namhlanje. [Encwina kabuhlungu] Kutheni ndisakwazi ukuva enye into ngaphandle kokuxhatshazwa? Nangona kunjalo, ndithathe isigqibo sokuba ndiza kuqala ukophula umthetho. Ke ulincedo kuloo nto ngokuthandana nam. Kulungile, akunjalo? Ooh, ingaba ikofu leyo?

Leslie, umntu ekufuneka eyekile nguwe. Yeka ukuthandana noJim Gordon, ndiyathetha. Unguye isoka elibi kakhulu kwaye ayizukuba ngcono! Phuma apho! Owu, kananjalo, phuma uphume kwesi sixeko. Kubi. Kwaye ubonakala uzinzile ngokweemvakalelo kule nto.

Okulandelayo, yindawo evela kwi-teaser, apho uJerome noBarbara baxhoma kwigumbi lokudlala le-Arkham. Kuyabonakala ukuba amabanjwa afunda kunye amaphephancwadi, apholile, kwaye athethe engajongwanga nantoni na ayifunayo. Oko kubonakala kulungile. Ngapha koko, uJerome uxelela uBarbara ukuba oonogada bazakuvumela izinto ezimbi zenzeke kubantu abangalunganga ukuba akaqali ukwenza abahlobo apha. Ngamanye amagama, uthi ufuna ukuba… azi kakuhle ngamanye amadoda anamandla kwindawo yokukhosela ukuze bamkhusele kwabanye. Um, kulungile, ndiyaqikelela ukuba iyakusebenza njani imeko yasejele ukuba ibibumbene, kodwa loo nto ayenzeki . Kutheni singenayo indawo apho uBarbara afumana i-chemistry yasejele kunye namabanjwa amabhinqa? Kuba IGotham yenza le nto iyifunayo, yiyo loo nto.

UJim uyokundwendwela uPhengwini, kuba konke malunga nokugoba umthetho ngoku. Umntwana waseCatwoman ukhona, kunye nezinye izinto ezingenagama, ukusebenzela uKumkani omtsha edolophini. UJim ufuna ingxoxo yabucala kunye nePenguin, kodwa xa ikati inamathela kuyo, akukho mntu ubonakala ngathi ucinga. Njengawo onke amabhinqa kulo mboniso, nangona kunjalo, unikwe ecaleni kwento yokwenza kwibala uqobo.

Andinguye umlandeli omkhulu wePenguin kulo mboniso, okanye ubuncinci bendingekabikho kude kube ngoku. Kule ndawo noJim, u-Oswald ubonakala ekhululekile ekugqibeleni - ungoyena mntu unamandla kwigumbi, njengoko wayefuna, kodwa eli bali alikho kwi-hubris. Ngokungafaniyo no-Penguin wesizini ephelileyo, oza kuvuka emandleni emva koko ayikhuphe phantse kwangoko, le Oswald ibonakala ivuthiwe, isilumko, kwaye ikwanendawo yokuhlala.

Kule ndawo, uPhengwini uthetha noJim njengomhlobo - hayi ngendlela ababethetha ngayo ababini kumaxesha adlulileyo, xa u-Oswald wayefikelwa ziingcwangu kunokuba akhathalele. Kule ndawo, u-Oswald ngokwenyani ubonakala ngathi unika into engekhoyo ngoJim, kwaye kuyamangalisa ukuba mnandi. Ewe kunjalo, uPenguin usazama ukucudisa ubabalo ngaphandle kukaJim ekugqibeleni, kwaye yiloo nto eyonakalisayo konke kwaye uJim uhamba. UJim akasoze abe yipolisa elikhohlakeleyo elisebenza noPenguin… ngaphandle kwaleyo ebeyenzile phantse kuzo zonke iziqendu ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Ncwina.

UJim uyokundwendwela ibha edolophini, kwaye kuyacaca ukuba usebenza neqabane lakhe langaphambili uHarvey ngoku. UHarvey ubonakale emonti ekuqaleni komboniso, kodwa khange ndimqonde kuba intshebe yakhe inamandla ngakumbi ngoku.

Njengaye wonke umntu owaziyo uJim, uHarvey umxelela ukuba sele esazi ukuba uJim akasoze ayeke, nangona kufanele. Kodwa uHarvey ubonakala onwabile njengebartender. Kwakhona, uphaphile ngoku. IGotham izakumosha yonke loo nto kuye kungekudala, ndiqinisekile. Akukho mntu uhlala onwabile kwesi sixeko.

Emva kokundwendwela uHarvey, uJim undwendwele uBruce, omnika intetho ethetha ukubuyela umva kwaye asebenze noPenguin emva kwayo yonke loo nto. Kutheni wonke umntu esenza njengoJim engakhange enze zonke ezi zinto ngaphambili, ebethwe ngenxa yokubetha? UJim uhlala esenza ulungelelwaniso olungaqhelekanga kwaye asebenze nabantu ababi ukuze ekugqibeleni enze iGotham indawo engcono. Nguwo wonke umboniso. Damn, ingaba le nkulumbuso iyonke nje kukuphindaphinda okwandisiweyo kwiimvakalelo eziphikisanayo zikaJim Gordon?

Ngapha koko, usana uBruce uqhubeka nokuzama ukuqikelela ukuba indibaniselwano yeBattave kwaye akakwazi ukuyifumana. Kwenzeka ntoni kuMcuphi oMkhulu weHlabathi? Akufanelekanga ukuba angayiqhekeza le khowudi? Oku kudlala komntwana! Okanye, eh, ndicinga ukuba akufuneki ibenjalo. Nangona kunjalo, uBruce unquma ukuthatha isando kwi-keypad, kuba ungumfana ovuthiweyo ongenayo i-hormone evuthayo emzimbeni wakhe.

Nangona kunjalo, uJim ujikeleza umva ukuze azalisekise isicelo sikaPenguin: ukulungiswa kuka-Ogden Barker ngetyala elingahlawulwanga. UBarker ubiza u-Oswald njenge-leprechaun yeziqhamo, ekrwada kakhulu. Ngapha koko, uJim ufumana imali esebenzisa ubuchule bakhe bokulwa obuchanekileyo. Njengoko ebaleka nemali, amapolisa kaGotham aqala ukumleqa. Olu lutshintsho lokwenyani lweziganeko, eh, Jim? Abanye abantu benza ubugebenga kuba benqwenela!

Oku kugxotha kuyaphela ngoJim ngokubulala u-Ogden, ngokuqinisekileyo ekuzikhuseleni, kodwa uJim ubonakala emhle ngenxa yayo.

UAlfred ubamba u-Baby Bruce ezama ukwenza ibhombu ukuvula ucango lwe-Batcave. Uzama ukumnqanda, kodwa akukho kumisa usana uBruce xa ebeka ingqondo yakhe kwinto ethile. Kwaye, ewe, uAlfred uyazi kakhulu kunoBruce malunga nendlela yokwenza ibhombu, ukusukela oko IGotham Inguqulelo ka-Alfred yibadass ebandayo ngamatye.

Intoni? Oo, akukho nto, sithandwa. Ndandihleli ndicinga nje ngelixesha xa ndandiba isaphuli-mthetho ndaze ndasibulala ukuze ndibuyisele umsebenzi wam njengekuphela kwepolisa elalingenarhwaphilizo eGotham. Ndiphilile. Owu, kwakhona, eli lixesha lesibini ndiyenza le nto. Ungacinga ukuba ngendikhe ndakuyiqhela ngoku, kodwa andikho njalo, kwaye hayi, khange ndiqwalasele umgca womsebenzi owahlukileyo, kwaye andisayi kuze, enkosi kakhulu.

Okwangoku, kubonakala ukuba abahlobo abatsha bakaBarbara eArkham bamfumana umnxeba. (Kwaye ucinga I-Orenji nguMnyama oMnyama yayingenakwenzeka malunga nento abantu abanokuyifumana entolongweni!) Ke ngoku ubiza uJim, kwaye akaxeleli uLee ukuba nguBarbara emnxebeni, kuba uJim liqabane elihle kwaye ungumntu osempilweni. UBarbara uxelela uJim ukuba akazange abulale abazali bakhe okanye azame ukuhlasela uLee, kwaye uLee wammisa. UJim akakholelwa.

Ukuthetha ngokungakholelwa izinto, uLee angamxelela uJim ukuba uyaxoka xa efika emnxebeni, kuba ulumkile. Okwangoku, uBarbara uqala ukubiza umnxeba kaLee. (Wow, Lee usenomnxeba wasendlini?) Ngapha koko, ubuncinci isikolo esidala esiphendula umatshini sinyanzela uJim ukuba anyaniseke kuLee malunga nobabizayo. Kumnandi ukubona indlela uJim anokunyaniseka ngayo kuphela ebantwini xa benyanzelisa isandla sakhe.

Ngapha koko, emva koko uVictor Zsasz kunye noPhengwini bangena endlwini kaLoeb ezinzulwini zobusuku, babulale abalindi bakhe, kwaye bamoyikise ade avume ukushiya isikhundla sakhe. Ndiyaqikelela ukuba kunjalo Nye indlela yokuqinisekisa ukuba uJim ufumana umsebenzi wakhe kwakhona…

Kumsitho apho uLoeb abhengeza khona umhlala phantsi, sidibana nomfana kwisuti egama linguTheo Galavan. Ujongeka njengomntu ofanayo owanceda iGatorade Man ekuqaleni kwesiqendu.

Okuvuyisayo kukuba, uSarah Essen ufumana ukunyuselwa kuMkomishinala endaweni kaLoeb. Ngaphandle koku IGotham ukuze mhlawumbi azizondaba zonwabisayo.

Emva e-Arkham, uBarbara uhleli ngomnye umfana oqhayisa ngeqela lakhe le-polo yekholeji, ngelixa omnye umntu empeyinta iinzwane. Nguye kuphela umfazi kwigumbi kwaye bonke abafana basezandleni zakhe. Um… kulungile… kutheni engekho kwintolongo yabasetyhini? Ndiza kuhlala ndibuza le de iqale ukwenza ingqiqo. Ke, mhlawumbi kulo lonke ixesha lonyaka, emva koko.

Indoda yaseGatorade ibonisa kwigumbi eliqhelekileyo laseArkham, emva koko iqhume ibe yimfumba yegesi eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Emva koko kuthi gqi ibhinqa elihle elinxibe ibhatyi yesikhumba, lidubule oonogada, kwaye lifake umunwe onothando ujikeleze imivalo yegumbi eliqhelekileyo leArkham. Ngandlela thile, uBarbara kunye namanye amabanjwa amahlanu bayakwazi ukubaleka kwakamsinya emva koko, mhlawumbi enkosi ngoncedo lweli nenekazi litsha. NguThabitha, aka Tigress, odlalwa nguJessica Lucas:

UTigress uthatha iqela lababaleki ukuya kuTheo Galavan, ekubonakala ukuba ngumntakwabo. Ku… kuyothusa kakhulu ukubona onke amabanjwa eqala ukubiza iTigress, ngendlela. Ngaba abahlali kwindawo yokutshixa ngokudibeneyo? Ndicinga ukupeyinta iinzwane zikaBarbara kwakungonelanga kwaba bafana.

UTheo uzama ukufumana uManyano oBubi bobubi kunye nengqokelela yakhe entsha yabahlobo abathinjiweyo. Xa elinye lamabanjwa lisithi alifuni nxalenye yalo, uTheo uyamkhulula kwaye uTabitha ambulale. Wonke umntu ubonakala enomdla kakhulu ngokubulala kwesi sihlwele.

Ibhombu u-Alfred kunye no-Baby Bruce bayenzile. IBatcave ivuliwe! UBruce ufumana ileta enobubele ngaphakathi evela kuyise, evuyisana nonyana wakhe ngokufumanisa ukuba ikhowudi yokungena yayingu-BRUCE. (Ewe, ewe, ikhowudi yokungena yayiyi-BOMB, nayo, eneneni.)

Ukuqukunjelwa kweleta kufundeka ngolu hlobo, Awungekhe ube nolonwabo kunye nenyaniso. Kuya kufuneka ukhethe. Ndicinga ukuba siyazi ukuba loluphi usana oluza kukhethwa nguBruce…

***

Ke leyo yayiyisiqendu sokuqala seXesha lesi-2! Ndifumene le-premiere ukuba yinto encinci yokuhlaziya imixholo eyadlulayo, kodwa oko akukubi kakhulu ukukhetha ukwenza inkulumbuso. Kuyinto engaqhelekanga ukubukela lo mboniso ngaphandle kweFish Mooney; Andiqinisekanga ukuba uBarbara kunye noTigress baya kwanela ukujikeleza i-Evil League elawulwa ngamadoda, banikwe ukuba kuncinci kangakanani ekufuneka bekwenzile ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. I-Tigress ayifumani nomgca wokufunda kule premiere, umzekelo, kodwa mhlawumbi xa eqala ukuthetha, uya kubamba iintliziyo zethu. (Kusemva kwexesha lokuba uBarbara abambe intliziyo yomntu, ndiyacinga. Ababhali benkqubo bakubonile oko.)

Ngokubanzi, kubonakala ngathi eli xesha lokuqala lokudlala lidlala ngokukhuselekileyo: Ukulwa kukaJim nezigqibo ezifanayo kanye njengangaphambili, kwaye isixeko saseGotham sibonakala sisisiqholo ekuvuseleleni.

Ucinga ntoni? Kwaye abo bangakhange babukele umboniso kwaye bafunde ukuphindaphinda kwam endaweni yoko, ndingenza njani?
