Justice in the universe, justice on earth.
From big to small, the next thing to talk about must be...
National justice!
And when it comes to national justice.
We have to talk about Watchmen itself!
Watchmen!
The Superman type of joint organizations in the current world first appeared in the middle of World War II.
In World War I, 33 million people died.
During World War II, 200 million people died.
It was such a bloody battlefield and such a dark haze of war that the organization Watchmen was born!
They may be ordinary people, but at least they are extraordinary ordinary people.
They are willing to put on masks and put on fancy clothes for the justice in their hearts.
They are also willing to work hard for the justice in their hearts.
The arduous training and constant fighting in the process of punishing evil have given Watchmens an extraordinary physique.
And among them, the first generation Watchmen.
Joker is the strongest one!
In the first generation Watchmen, there is no cheating like Doctor Manhattan.
Although many people disagree, no matter the trial Butcher, it is still the Mothman.
None of them are Joker's opponents!
As for why?
It's not that they used different medicines, or that they experienced different mutations.
Just because, in the first generation Watchmen, no one insists on his own justice more than Joker!!!
Time flies, with the explosion of nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, World War II officially ended.
The first generation Watchmen, which created evil due to war and existed because of evil, was finally completely immersed in the joy of peace.
And peace will make Watchmen look bad!
In 1946, member Watchmen was once again fighting crime. Because Cloak was stuck in a shopping mall revolving door and unable to escape, he was shot dead by criminals!
In 1947, the original Silk Spectre Sally retired due to pregnancy.
In 1949, Mothman was sent to a mental hospital due to excessive drinking.
At this point, Watchmen people gradually lost the justice in their hearts.
Although at that time, the Watchmen organization never disbanded.
But in fact, they are no different from disbanding!
But among those people, among those heroic Watchmen.
There is also a man who will never give up on his justice.
No matter how you view Joker's crimes, whether he raped, murdered, or tortured prisoners.
No matter what, Joker always insists on his own justice.
And his justice is...
All for the country!
When the generation Watchmen gradually fell apart due to their respective problems, Joker officially joined US Government and began to perform various secret work for US Government.
Joker originally thought that his work could make his country safer and more peaceful.
But he was wrong.
Also in 1949, the Soviet Union successfully developed the atomic bomb.
From then on, even if Joker tried his best, the pattern of the Cold War gradually took shape.
Until 1960.
In 1960, US Government had a trump card that was far more threatening than a nuclear bomb.
Doctor Manhattan.
Suddenly, the god-like Doctor Manhattan appeared and participated in the Vietnam War. He brought United States a complete victory.
But his appearance further stimulated the Soviet government. For this reason, the Soviet Union launched a new round of arms race that was far superior to the past.
In such an atmosphere, war-weariness gradually broke out, and this sentiment greatly slowed down the ongoing processes of US Government in the Cold War.
In order to reduce the war-weariness, Joker has done a lot of work for this purpose.
These include...
Assassinate Kennedy!
After Kennedy died, Nixon took office.
But no matter how hard the government tries, war-weariness is still growing among the people.
Anti-government elements began to march one after another, and violence in the name of freedom intensified in the area of United States.
It was also in the same year that Joker and Owlman suppressed demonstrations from anti-government mobs.
This situation lasted until 1965.
During this period of time, Zhengdu gradually transferred citizens' dissatisfaction with the government to the Watchmen Group.
Finally in 1965, Nixon introduced Keene Act, completely announcing the destruction of the second generation Watchmen group headed by Doctor Manhattan!
From then on, superheroes became criminals, and their actions became illegal.
Superheroes have completely fallen off the altar and become existences that people shout about to fight and kill.
And after that...
Pharaoh King disclosed his identity and created his own group based on it.
The capital-led government destroyed the Watchmen team that Pharaoh King originally planned to risk his whole life, so Pharaoh King chose... to become capital!
Doctor Manhattan and the second generation Silk Spectre started a love relationship that was not sour or sweet, but both of them enjoyed it.
Although Doctor Manhattan was powerful at the time, his humanity had not completely disappeared. He was very happy that he could still be loved by the second generation Silk Spectre who was also a superhero in his current blue fluorescent appearance.
And the second generation Silk Spectre.
The vain superhero is also deeply proud that he can capture the heart of a man as powerful as a god like Doctor Manhattan!
The second generation Watchmen has only six members in total, excluding the three mentioned above.
The second generation Owlman completely took off his battle clothes. He chose to return to society and became an ordinary... social animal.
And Rorschach, the second-generation Watchmen group, is the most unique existence.
He never compromises and continues to carry out justice.
He fights crime and punishes criminals. Even if he is not allowed by the government, he continues to bring new blood to the prison.
At this point, there is only the last person left in the second generation Watchmen, and that is... Joker!
Because Watchmen is no longer recognized by the government, Joker also ended its cooperation with the government.
But in some ways, Joker is just as persistent as another version of Rorschach!
He never gave up his determination to contribute to the country!
Therefore, Joker, who kept thinking about how to continue to improve United States, got an invitation from Pharaoh King.
From this day on, Joker joined an extremely huge plan!
This plan continues until the end of the plot of Watchmen.
And Joker.
What kind of person is he?
He is not a good person, he is ridiculously bad, but he loves his country deeply!
Finally, on the night when Heisenberg arrived, Joker was dead.
Of course, the country is not black and white, but it is a country, a collective body shared by countless human beings and consciousnesses.
And people...
People can almost be said to be divided into black and white!
Ninety-nine percent of people who do things under the banner of gray are just pure black and have no meaning.
And Joker.
He is a wicked person.
But he who completely dedicated his body and mind to the country can no longer be called a human being.
He is part of the country!
Joker worked hard for the country all his life, and eventually died due to his own efforts.
During this process, he was afraid and panicked, but he still had no hesitation!
And how strong is Joker?
It can be said that when Joker was at its peak, he was the number one in the world even stronger than Pharaoh King!
Don't think that he is Joker, just a funny the Joker.
When Joker was at his peak, no one could truly defeat him!
Just like at the end of the plot of Watchmen, Rorschach, the second-generation Owlman, and the second-generation Silk Spectre can only be evenly matched with Pharaoh King, and even the three of them are at a disadvantage.
Joker was just one person, and he fought an evenly matched battle with Pharaoh King before he died!
You know, Rorschach, the second generation Silk Spectre, and the second generation Owlman, they are the same generation as Pharaoh King!
They are younger!
And Joker...
When the first generation Watchmen appeared, Joker was one of the members.
That was 1940!
At that time, Joker was already close to thirty!
When Joker died that night...
Joker is nearly seventy-five years old!
What kind of power is this, that an old man in his seventies can still face off against Pharaoh King who is in his prime and at his peak.
You know, the first-generation Owlman, which is of the same generation as Joker, is so old that he can hardly run!
The first generation Owlman died at the hands of a group of gangsters, but Rorschach can easily deal with those gangsters.
However, Rorschach, second-generation Owlman and second-generation Silk Spectre cannot compete with Pharaoh King.
He could only slightly suppress the seventy-year-old Joker!
It is conceivable that for the justice of the country in his heart, Joker has made unimaginable efforts!
As long as the country needs it, Joker will do it, whether it's killing the president or himself!
At the last moment of his life, Joker had already seen through his destiny.
But no one in the whole world can hear the voice of Joker.
It's as funny as the Joker going to see a psychiatrist, only to be recommended to watch his own the Joker show.
Joker finally even found his old rival, the octogenarian Death who can urethra the bed.
He cried and sat next to Death, repeating that this was a joke.
Joker knows everything, he knows it all.
But he doesn't care!
Ah, national justice.
Behind every country, there are countless people like Joker.
They may be good or bad, but no matter what, they have paid too much for the country.
And at this point, we have already talked about the justice of the universe Doctor Manhattan, the justice of the earth Pharaoh King Veidt, and the justice of the country Joker.
The remaining Watchmen naturally has three other kinds of justice.
Here, the second generation Owlman and the second generation Silk Spectre must of course be discussed together.
Of the two of them, one represents the justice of mortals and the other represents the justice of women.
After Watchmen officially disbanded in 1965, Owlman took off his clothes and became a complete mortal.
He hid in his home, gradually came into contact with society, found a job, and lived an ordinary life.
The reason why he cannot be called a man of justice is because he did not continue his righteous actions.
He even did not marry and have children for the next sixteen years, which is obviously not a man.
It's not that if you don't find a woman, you won't be a man.
He is a man who does not need to bear family responsibilities and life pressure.
Of course they are dandies...
Ahem, okay, not necessarily necessarily.
In short, he is obviously different from ordinary men, right?
Then why should he be called the righteousness of mortals?
Just imagine, in the fifteen years since Owlman took off his suit, he has never done anything that violated the law.
Although the ordinary work he does is not very important, it is still contributing to society.
So, isn't this justice for mortals?
And the second generation Silk Spectre...
She has never been a successful female superhero!
As a female superhero, it is her mother, the first generation Silk Spectre, who truly becomes the spokesperson for women and improves the rights of women in the world Watchmen!
But even so, after the first generation Silk Spectre got married, he always felt painful because of family disharmony.
Women's rights started with her and have been greatly improved since the end of World War II.
But she herself, the first generation Silk Spectre, hardly enjoyed any benefits.
Even the second generation Silk Spectre can join the second generation Watchmen...
Just relying on the connections of the first generation Silk Spectre and the second generation Silk Spectre can only be regarded as slightly stronger abilities.
The second generation Silk Spectre is reluctant to join Watchmen!
If it weren't for the biological father of the second generation Silk Spectre...
Ahem, that is Joker.
The second generation Silk Spectre is the product of Joker which has enhanced Silk Spectre!
In short, the second generation Silk Spectre does not have special justice in her heart. She cannot be called a righteous representative of women's rights like her mother.
She only has a little bit of justice as a woman.
What she wants to do, what she is doing, has always been just what ordinary women do and want to do!
She has the most powerful man in the world, Doctor Manhattan.
She chased first!
After enjoying the marriage with the strongest man, and thus gaining the respect and fear of everyone.
She successfully cheated on another man with a high net worth, strong financial resources, and who is also a superhero.
Second generation Owlman!
Silk Spectre and Owlman are indeed superheroes, but they are also ordinary people.
They regard fighting crime as a pastime and saving lives as a puzzle to enrich their inner world.
Just like in the future, the two of them come together to fight crime again, and then are excited about their occasional acts of justice.
They immediately got off the bed.
Are they really happy with each other?
So why have you been unhappy over the past few decades?
Just like ordinary people, when they do something good, they get very excited about it and feel satisfied in their life.
Now that we are satisfied, it is natural for men and women to do something they love!
In short.
As heroes, they are qualified.
Because they will really save others seriously.
But the salvation they brought had no special purpose or persistence.
They don't seek to make the world a better place.
They are just enjoying it.
Enjoy your own actions and enjoy the satisfaction of your inner world.
That's all.
Just like countless other mortals who follow the crowd.
It is also like the rolling tide, countless societies that finally gather together.
The justice of these two people can be called the justice of mortals.
But more, they belong to social justice!
At least Heisenberg doesn't want to name them mortal justice!
Because apart from their bodies being stronger than ordinary people, there is nothing else extraordinary about them!
And in Heisenberg's heart.
Of course the only person who can be called the most righteous person is Rorschach!
Only Rorschach is the real mortal, and only Rorschach is the real justice!
And this is the justice of Rorschach.
Maybe there are several other names.
Such as absolute justice!
and...
Justice that never compromises!
After the second generation Watchmen fell apart, everyone was wandering in different lives for different purposes.
Only Rorschach.
He continues to fulfill his mission uninterruptedly and even harder!
Of course, he has no mission, and even his status as a hero was revoked by US Government headed by Nixon.
But so what, no one, no government can stop Rorschach's determination.
Not even God, not even Manhattan can stop it!
And this kind of justice is what Heisenberg appreciates most, the justice of mortals!
