Peter was taken aback, then he slapped his forehead, realizing that his thinking had been limited.
His previous plan to resurrect the Joker involved resurrection from nothing. Peter had participated in Helen and Venom's power-stealing plan before. The Red Bee in him had consumed a fair amount of magic power, giving him some understanding of magic.
So in his view, resurrection was like drawing an array and performing some operations, then resurrecting the person out of thin air.
Therefore, when considering Batman's resurrection plan, he didn't realize that if resurrection involved a host, it would inevitably raise some ethical and moral issues.
If you resurrect the Joker in someone else's body, isn't it equivalent to killing that person? To kill an innocent patient to resurrect a super criminal completely crosses the moral line. Not to mention superheroes, most ordinary people wouldn't be willing to do this either.
"Wait a minute." Poison Ivy, who apparently knew more about the criminal Joker, spoke up: "This is the Joker's real scheme."
Poison Ivy quickly analyzed: "In fact, after the Joker completed the Joker virus infection experiment, he could have killed the test subjects. He is not a merciful person. Killing is simpler for him than drinking water."
"But he didn't do that. It's very likely that he knew Batman wouldn't ignore these patients. Moreover, the clues of these Joker virus infectees could have been intentionally left by the Joker to Batman."
"So what was the Joker's purpose?" Gordon asked.
"This would put Batman in a dilemma." Poison Ivy held up two fingers, put one down, and said: "Either endure the Joker living in his own body, or kill the innocent soul within the infected, allowing the Joker to resurrect in another person."
"Or the Joker just wanted to provoke Batman into killing the innocent to escape the pain."
"And the Titan virus is not the start of this plan, which likely began when Joker kidnapped Jason Todd."
"Because only by continuously playing images of Jason's torture in Batman's mind can the Joker cause Batman real pain, pushing him to take drastic measures to get rid of the Joker."
"Whether it's the disappearance of Jason Todd, the outbreak of the Titan virus, the appearance of the Joker virus infectees, or the present fear gas disaster, all are aimed to make Batman choose."
"Sacrifice himself and remain trapped in painful memories forever, maybe even become the next Joker, or harm others, kill an innocent person with his own hands, and at the same time, resurrect his nemesis?"
As Poison Ivy finished speaking, Peter and Gordon were at a loss for words.
"What a lunatic!" Gordon cursed, even now he was still discovering new facets of the Joker's madness.
"What if someone else resurrects the Joker?" Peter thought aloud, "Not using those infected with the Joker virus, but resurrecting from nothing as I had initially planned."
"How do you plan to resurrect from nothing?" Poison Ivy asked with surprise, "Do you have the related powers?"
"I possess some magic energy, but I'm not sure if it can be used in this world," Peter said seriously. "But I know magic also exists in this world."
Poison Ivy nodded and said, "Indeed, if you use magic, you might be able to resurrect from nothing. But the problem is, the essence of magic is borrowing. Who are you going to borrow from?"
At this point, a revelation struck Peter.
"Wait a minute, madam, does the magic in your universe also rely on borrowing?"
Poison Ivy nodded again and said, "Mostly so, or we would make a contract. For example, after I made a contract with certain mysterious beings, I can use their power. However, I also have to work for them."
"It seems to be similar to my universe then." An intricate look crossed Peter's face as he continued.
"So what if, just if, I borrow their debt and then go to a place they can't reach, what will happen?"
Poison Ivy was taken aback, answering instinctively: "Go where they can't reach? Where could … Wait a second, you are not planning on dodging the debt, are you?"
Peter gave a bitter-smiling expression and said, "It's not me wanting to dodge the debt, it's someone wanting me to."
He held his forehead, thinking that the biggest difference between himself and Batman's assistants and acquaintances was that he was not a local resident but came from a very distant universe.
Batman couldn't possibly be unaware of the magic in this universe. He would naturally know that resurrection requires a price, and the price for resurrecting a person out of thin air must be high. Forcing anyone to pay the price for his plan would be unfair.
But is the price unavoidable?
It might have been unavoidable in the past. After all, no matter how far the locals fled, they would still be chased by these powerful beings.
But not Spiderman.
Then Peter realized that this Batman had been watching Doctor Shiller, Iron Man, and others' universe existence game from the beginning to the end.
No matter if it was Doctor Shiller, Mr. Stark, Lord Loki, or the Supreme Magician, all had some connection to magic and did not appear to be easily messed with.
That is to say, from the beginning, Batman planned to spend money to recruit Peter here. His goal was to let Peter borrow from those powerful beings and then return to the city after resurrecting the Joker from nothing. The idea is to dodge the payment of the debt.
Then there would be two consequences. One is that the creditors have no means to chase to another universe and the debt would completely rot. The other is that the creditors chase after it and end up getting a good beating from those tough characters, or even end up getting thrown into a cauldron.
Wait, Peter had another thought. Batman had seen Doctor Shiller's performance in a game and had haggled with him. He must know that Shiller's style is more about money than life.
So, if Peter brought a group of creditors back to the city and Peter goes in, while the creditors were locked out,
Had Batman already thought there would be a group of people who were tough and diligent, who would kindly pick up the creditors knocking on the door?
And as Batman, who designed this plan and delivered it to the door, should he also receive a little reward?
Upon thinking this, Peter couldn't hold back his admiration.
The Joker and Batman, these two madmen, each of their confrontations was like using time as a line, emotions as a spindle, observation as a needle, reasoning as a button, to weave a seamless heavenly robe.
They dressed up and stepped into the limelight, sharing a dance with each other, creating a double marvel of human wisdom and madness.
