UK:GSW Chapter 349 – Batman Sasuke's Humiliating Journey
If someone from Earth who had seen director Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy were to witness this scene, they would immediately start mocking it, saying this was straight out of the classic The Dark Knight — except heavily altered. After all, the Joker here had been upgraded to the Batman comics' supervillain "The Batman Who Laughs," which was truly absurd.
If Sasuke were a transmigrant from Earth, he would definitely complain right now: "Kids, this isn't funny at all."
Without a doubt, this was absurd to the extreme.
And this "Batman Who Laughs" wasn't just a surface-level skin swap — he truly possessed formidable combat power.
Because next… Batman made his dramatic entrance.
Originally, Batman could easily overpower the Joker in terms of combat ability. In the original plot, the Joker relied on hostages to threaten Batman, forcing Batman to take a loss in that scene. But in the current situation, things unfolded very differently.
After spending a few days as Batman, beating up criminals and supervillains alike, Sasuke had gotten cocky, thinking he was invincible in this world. But now, he was about to be humbled.
When he confronted the "Joker," Batman was shocked to find that his attacks — the same ones that could easily break the bones of a muscular brute — were effortlessly blocked. And the "Joker" simply grinned with that terrifying mouth and laughed maniacally, shouting in a frenzied, hysterical voice:
"Yes! Yes! Hahaha~~ That's right! That's right! Hahahaha! The Bat is here! The Bat is really here! Hahahaha!"
"Bat, Bat… I heard you're strong? I heard you're brutal? I heard you're terrifying?"
"But why? Why? Why… are you so weak?"
Then, all of a sudden, the "Joker" drew a dagger — and before Sasuke could even react, he stabbed it straight into Batman's abdomen.
The Batsuit — capable of stopping assault rifle fire — failed to block this cold weapon's thrust. Blood poured from Batman's abdomen, forcing the Dark Knight to retreat, glaring at the "Joker" with grave eyes.
The "Joker," now holding a dagger stained with Batman's blood, was beside himself with excitement and madness, dancing in place and emitting a chilling, terrifying laugh — like a lunatic who treated the world as his stage and fed on the pain and fear of others.
No, not like — this man truly was such a lunatic.
The "Joker's" henchmen were thrilled, each wearing a bloodthirsty grin, as if watching their boss beat Batman was worth dying for. They shouted his name in excitement, offering heartfelt praise to their brilliant leader.
As for the hostages, their faces turned ashen. Many were in disbelief — these bigshots knew things the public didn't. They were well aware of how terrifying Batman was: a man so powerful he could suppress all of Gotham's chaos in a single night if the city suddenly erupted into anarchy.
And yet… this almost superhuman figure was injured so easily by a madman. Worse, during the fight, it was obvious the "Joker" was holding back.
That was truly terrifying — enough to make these bigshots despair. If even Batman can't beat this madman, who's going to save us? The useless Gotham police?
Meanwhile, some of them began having other thoughts.
The "Joker's" crazed excitement upon seeing Batman made it clear this attack on the banquet might not have been aimed at the elites at all — it was a trap to lure Batman out and hunt him down.
Which meant… they were just unlucky collateral damage, dragged into this mess because of Batman.
So here came the question: could they just switch sides to the "Joker" to save their own skins?
Don't talk to them about bowing to crime or losing their sense of justice. In America, how many elites truly held justice in their hearts? How many weren't of the "After I'm dead, let the flood come" or "As long as I live, who cares if millions die?" mindset?
Since this disaster was brought here by Batman — and Batman couldn't beat the madman — then let Batman die.
As for those who didn't want Batman to die? Let them die with him. Better them than me!
With that thought, their ugly faces surfaced. They denounced Batman, blaming him for everything, and expressed their support for and willingness to cooperate with the "Joker," shamelessly switching allegiance.
This left the "Shining Knight" Naruto and his companions stunned — they never expected these people to pledge loyalty to a criminal.
Even more ironic, those who defected were the ones who outwardly appeared brave, principled, and full of justice — the kind who, by appearances alone, you'd think were righteous men.
Meanwhile, those who looked cunning, cowardly, and likely to surrender at the first sign of trouble didn't defect at all. In fact, they glared at the turncoats with anger, cursing them.
The "Joker's" men just enjoyed the show. They had no intention of interfering or accepting the defectors.
After all, only the "Joker" could decide such things — and he clearly didn't care about these people. His eyes remained locked on Batman.
Though the cursed headgear covered his eyes, everyone could feel the insane gaze fixed upon Batman.
Laughing at the scene of betrayal, the "Joker" mocked Batman — the people he protected were ridiculous clowns, even more laughable than himself. And Batman was no different — dressed in black, masked, and running around Gotham "fighting crime," yet ultimately making no real difference. In the "Joker's" eyes, Batman was the biggest clown in Gotham.
Then his tone shifted. Because Batman was the biggest clown, they were the same kind — and for the "Joker," playing with another clown was the most natural, most joyful thing in the world.
He burst into wild laughter, the shrill, piercing sound grating like an assault on the ears.
The Joker's malice toward Batman wasn't an act to provoke him — it was genuine belief. In his eyes, Batman was just as insane as he was, only wrapped in the disguise called "Batman" to make his madness look rational.
The Joker was Batman's greatest nemesis, the eternal archenemy, DC's official mirror image of him — the rational Batman and the mad Joker were two sides of Gotham's madness.
Once Batman fell into madness, he would become far more terrifying than the Joker. And if the Joker turned good, he could become Gotham's hero — a kind of twist that DC had actually explored in some stories.
Of course, Batman Sasuke's script was even harder than Bruce Wayne's. His "Joker" was a stronger version — a fusion of Joker and Batman, "The Batman Who Laughs" — merely wearing the Joker's identity.
And there was yet another layer to his identity. Once the mask came off, Sasuke would receive an even greater "surprise." At that point, the game's plot background and hidden truths would be revealed.
When that happened, Sasuke would be "filled" — body and soul — entering a "wonderful" new state. Perhaps that "love" filling his heart would finally push him past his limits to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan he'd always dreamed of.

Thus began Batman Sasuke's battle of wits and blows with his nemesis, "The Batman Who Laughs" Joker.
The first banquet confrontation ended with Batman Sasuke taking a loss and the "Joker" leaving arrogantly with his men.
His departure was insane — the "Joker" had planted numerous bombs throughout the building. While not powerful enough to destroy it completely, they left it badly damaged and unstable, with holes everywhere.
If Batman didn't rescue people, many would fall to their deaths through the gaps — a choice the "Joker" deliberately left him: save lives, or pursue the "Joker."
It wasn't really a choice. Though furious, Sasuke's role as Batman compelled him to save people.
He despised the elites, especially those who defected to the "Joker," but among them were the "Shining Knight" Naruto and his companions, as well as those who had stood firm with Batman.
No matter what, Sasuke couldn't just watch them die.
So, he chose to rescue them, glaring in anger as the "Joker" laughed wildly and left, parting with the one-sided promise: "Let's play again next time, my adorable little Bat."
Afterward, the gloomy Batman left, covering for his identity as Bruce Wayne-Uchiha by making a public appearance, pretending he had escaped through a secret passage when the "Joker" attacked.
Though some criticized this as cowardice, most found it understandable. He was the head of the Uchiha family — his life was far more valuable than others. In fact, many were relieved he fled first; if anything happened to him, Gotham would quake.
Not everyone survived the attack — some died in the chaos, others in the final building collapse.
Thus, Bruce Wayne-Uchiha's quick escape was seen as a good thing by most. Inequality between people was simply accepted in America.
But in truth, after making his public appearance, Sasuke immediately returned home, where Alfred tended to his wounds with concern.
No one could know the young master of the Uchiha was injured. In fact, he had to be more active in public to coordinate with Naruto's "Shining Knight" faction in their mission to bring justice to Gotham — the "Joker" couldn't be allowed to hinder that.
Because if justice was obstructed, it meant the "Joker" had succeeded.
Moreover, Batman had to strike back hard. The banquet incident had undoubtedly shaken the fear he commanded among Gotham's criminals. Those who'd been forced to endure under Batman's oppressive watch would now rebel, throwing the city into chaos — something Batman could not allow.
Thus, Batman began a full investigation into the "Joker," preparing to strike decisively next time.
Though the "Joker" was powerful and dangerous, Batman Sasuke believed that with proper preparation, he could defeat him.
After all, Batman's power varied drastically depending on whether he was prepared.
In Sasuke's world, that meant preparing weapons and tools to counter the "Joker" in advance, using the Batcomputer to analyze all the data gathered during the banquet battle — even though he had been humiliated, he had collected much useful information.
Here, Alfred was a huge help, often thinking of things Sasuke hadn't and offering many valuable suggestions, saving him much trouble.
Sasuke grew increasingly reliant on Alfred — even thinking, had he had such a butler in the ninja world, his revenge against Uchiha Itachi would surely have succeeded, and he himself would be far stronger.
But the past was past, and thinking about it was useless now. Sasuke never realized — or perhaps never considered — that his mindset was quite different from the real Batman's. With a proper understanding of genjutsu, he might have sensed something was off.
But since he firmly believed he was the reincarnation of Batman Bruce Wayne from the start, he saw nothing wrong.
After all, it's easiest to know oneself — and hardest to truly understand oneself.
As the plot progressed, Batman Sasuke's trials began. The "Joker's" activity skyrocketed after the banquet, and Sasuke encountered him many times — each time being humiliated, mocked, and beaten. No matter how much he prepared, the "Joker" would always "predict his prediction" and counter him mercilessly.
