"I'll do a 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 good job!"

"You can have 'em.
Just so long as you remember to feed him and take him for walks.

Don't want our little bird 𝒅𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 from neglect."

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

He's on the prowl!

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

He just dropped the brutalised corpse of a jaywalker off at the GCPD.

"Another scumbag off the streets.
You're welcome, Gotham!
Heh heh."

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

"Oh, Batman!
It is I, Batman of another Earth!

Heh heh. . .

Take me to your cave so we may exchange notes."

This whole Batman thing, for one.
And then there's— Oops! Almost spoiled the surprise.

Talk to you soon.
Haha!"

End of message.

Start of message:

"Hello?
Can you hear me?

I've been sat here building a few things for a certain special mayor and it gave me a minute to think a few things through.

Oh but what things, Joker?!

"Somebody burnt down an orphanage!
Come, Boy Wonder, we must investigate."

It was him.
He burnt it down.

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

What's the clown doing?

He's currently coming up with a new look for his newly acquired batmobile.

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

Connects with the 'criminal's' head.

"YOU.
NEVER.
NEVER.
EVER.
REMOVE.
BATMAN'S.
MASK!"

The crowbar was now slick with the blood of Joker's captive, chunks of their brain sliding off the cool metal and splatting against the concrete.

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

"What's the one thing we must never do?
The one line that shall never be crossed?

We mustn't kill."

The Bat dusts his hands, bending down to pick up a crowbar.

"Unless the person we're fighting RIPS OFF MY MASK!"

There's a sickening crunch as the crowbar

"This old thing?
It's one of a kind! There's not another like it in the whole universe."

The Halloween store a few streets down.

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

By day, he's The Joker. Running a very noble criminal empire.

By night, he's The Batman! Brutally beating criminals into submission.

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

"Tactical shmactical, it's all about 𝒔𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆 in this business!"

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

He definitely doesn't have a room full of old Batman villains on display.

Even if he does, would Batman miss them?
Probably not.

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

"Where's my engineer gone?
I require her services."

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

Evil-doers beware!

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒏 is on patrol!

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

"What's that?
A crime!?

This will not stand!"

The hero grabs a teen by the neck, pinning them against the wall.

"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to loiter?"

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

"Hehe!
Come for front row seats, Cobblepot?
Y'know, I normally have people pay for tickets but—"

Drives the crowbar through the goon's chest.

"— I'll make an exception."

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

Hope she's enjoying the joyous squelching sounds of his crowbar connecting with the goon's brain!

[𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 @0fMinxClaws]

Selina is watching from the rafters. Eyes glowing like two yellow orbs.

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑨𝑻𝑴𝑨𝑵. . . ? @HEROofARKHAM]

Make sure to take notes.
He wants to read about this later tonight.
