I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 55 Answering some questions from book friends

In the comment area, I learned some questions in the minds of some readers. I think it is quite typical, so I will send a single chapter to explain it.

1. Seeing Sannomiya, Stranger, and Shazan, "weak" Harley is really just a familiar face, and she didn't get any benefits?What's the use of writing like this?

First of all, Harley is not weak, she can kung fu, not as good as Shiva and Master Ninja, but also better than most ordinary people.She is proficient in spear art and has certain tactical skills (trained with her grandfather since she was a child, her grandfather is not an ordinary person, which will be introduced later), she also has golden fingers, and her physical fitness exceeds that of ordinary people, worse than the death knell, but it is enough to become Gotham Little bully.

She doesn't need to follow the steps step by step and find low-level teachers too much. With her golden fingers, she can easily surpass DC's mortal heroes and villains.Just like Batman needs to practice more than 100 kinds of martial arts, while Superman never practices martial arts. The two approaches are different.

Now she looks weak, just because her enemy is too strong, you let the ninja master go to the crusade, and not even ash will be left.

Secondly, the benefits are not absent, but not as obvious as power upgrades and magic weapons.

In the end, these contents are not useless, and many of them are pits that follow.

For example, in the Sangong area, Rachel lost it. After Harley has the ability, should she search for it? In this way, there will be a plot of hell and Lucifer that follows.

For another example, the mark Rachel left on Harley's eyebrows is also something more precious than any treasure.

Anyone who has read the comics knows that the magic of the DC universe is a tiankeng, the kind that kills people without paying for their lives.

Let’s just say it directly, all the magic power in the DC universe now belongs to the hidden bosses. Whether it is irony magic or the most orthodox magic, their power comes from the bosses behind the scenes.

You think you are practicing magic, but in fact, you are constantly being assimilated by the boss, and your magic power ultimately belongs to the boss.

In essence, it is no different from the black magician borrowing the power of the devil. What about the joy that is borrowed now?

It can only be said that there are too many pits in DC magic, which is much more complicated than the Marvel Universe.

If there is no Rachel, if you follow the advice of some readers, first follow the plots of Master Ninja, Ms. Shiva, Mrs. Shangdu, and Zatanna, and follow them to grow and learn step by step. If Harley takes the martial arts route , that's no problem, as the teachers of the novice village, they are very suitable.But Harry was going to learn magic, so he was with them from the beginning.In the end, there was only one result, and they were killed by them.

Don't talk about them, even if Harry followed Diana to Paradise Island, he would be killed.

Why, because their level is too low compared to the real big guys of dc.To use the plot analogy in Xianxia, ​​that is, following Zatanna, Harley will condense a golden pill of the next ninth rank, the kind of hopeless Yuan Ying.

Therefore, before officially practicing magic, Harley must have one or even more knowledgeable friends like Stranger and Raven - equivalent to Ma Yu, who gave Guo Jing's inner strength in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

2. The content is confusing and there is no main line.

This question, in fact, I explained in "Work related - the main line of this book", Harley is taking a relatively partial magic side plot.

However, a reader's question is this - I don't know how the author unfolds the plot, his father died inexplicably, and he went to an orphanage inexplicably, and many plots feel inexplicable
I have to say that compared to most of the American comics, my article is indeed a bit non-mainstream.

If Harry's father Andy wasn't in Gotham, would he be scapegoated by the black police and killed?

Most likely not.The reason for this ending is because he is in Gotham.

Why didn't Halle grow up happily, win the Olympic gold medal, and become a big star according to the predetermined trajectory, "be a big banknote, speak for the National Bank of China, and write a book to be a talented woman", "within a week, there is a wealthy and kind-hearted family." She was taken away from the orphanage", and she was going through those bad things instead?

Because this is Gotham.

Why is Halle smart enough to call Jim Gordon and Harvey Dante, and make clever recordings, but she's still a wanted vagabond?

Because this is Gotham, it's too dark.

Why did Harley encounter those things while she was homeless?

Because this is Gotham.

So, do you understand?

These plots are actually serving a theme - Gotham is outstanding.

Even netizens who haven't watched "Batman" can say that "Gotham City has a simple folk customs, and Arkham is full of talents", but have you ever thought about it and why?Why is there such a stalk, can you tell the reason?

Is it because Gotham has Joker, Two-Face, and Penguin?

Did they make Gotham go bad?

Thinking that way is a bit shallow.

It was the city of Gotham that made them Joker, Two-Face, and Penguin.

There has always been only "oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and those born in Huaibei are oranges", but there is no "oranges born in Huainan, Huainan becomes Huaibei".

So, I want to go through the first volume, describe a "normal" Gotham City, and now it's just the beginning, and there are similar plots later, and that's my theme, my purpose.

Everything that happened to Halle is a life that every ordinary Gotham person may experience, but in different ways, and their reactions to these darkness are also different.

The Joker faced the real Gotham, and he became the most sober psychopath.

The reason why Batman is great is not how rich he is, how much kung fu he can do, or how many criminals he has defeated, but in the face of this real dark world, he persevered and did not compromise with reality like Double Face and Penguin. Not as crazy as the Joker, nor as see-through as the future Harley but only cares about herself.

He will never compromise to challenge this dark world, he wants to make the dark city bright, even if he becomes a lone knight in the dark, so he is Batman, so he is great, so he can become a well-deserved Justice League III giant.

Just imagine, if I don't write these plots, the whole Gotham will give readers the feeling that it seems to be similar to the metropolis in our real world, then, will everyone still think that Batman is a hero?

For example, there is a Bruce character in the magic capital. Do you think he is mentally ill or the greatest hero?
I have also seen a lot of dc fanfiction, not commenting on the content and style, only talking about Batman, some authors even ridicule Batman as unreasonable, and the "no-kill concept" is even more ridiculous and absurd.

Suffice it to say, he may be right, but his Batman lives in a Gotham City that's not Gotham.

******
Well, let’s go a long way. To sum up, in this volume, I am writing a fan of “Gotham”, not “Justice League vs Darkseid” in the DC universe. The current plot has not deviate from the theme.

3. Harley is laissez-faire, has no character, no goals, and no life plan?

In fact, her life plan is very clear. In the previous article, "becoming an Olympic champion, winning medals, and enjoying a rich life" appeared many times, followed by "hard work to upgrade".

This is her life plan.

It's a pity that God doesn't follow her wishes (I won't let her get her wish).

After going through the events of the monastery, her main life goal is only one - to survive.

In order to survive, she has to improve her strength.

In order to survive, in order not to be killed by the police, she had to restore her innocence.

In order to survive, when she is strong enough, she has to overthrow the church and the Crusaders.

Everyone thinks that she is not promising because everyone lives very easily in reality, but Harley lives in Gotham City, where the folk customs are simple and honest!
According to her situation, being able to live well in Gotham City without changing her personality is already a remarkable achievement.

Some readers compared Harley to the dragon mother and Maya of my last book.

Indeed, Harley seems to be lower, Long Ma and Maya have great ideals, Harley has always been just a mortal character, and there is no big pursuit.

This is the difference in character setting.

Can Harley Quinn have great ideals?
Wouldn't everyone feel awkward if the clown woman seeks welfare for the common people?

In this book, Harley can be regarded as the neutralization of the two personalities of ordinary people and Constantine.

Uh, yes, I wrote Harley, to a certain extent, with reference to Zhakang, not the original Harley.

Many times, Jae Kang is a selfish bastard, but when faced with a choice, he doesn't lose his integrity (in fact, Jae Kang has been a hero many times).
