Out Grinching the Grinch
Chapter 1: Gotham's Villains' Plans
It was a typical dark winter night in Gotham where a certain Baby Face was plotting to ruin Christmas and take over Gotham itself in the process. Typically enough he invited all the big time villains of Gotham ranging from the Joker to Gentleman Ghost and to Two-Face and others were there as well.
"Alright see, here's the plan we not just take down Christmas for Gotham but also we takeover Gotham, because it's typically the time of the season where people let down their guard see" said Baby Face in a typical Chicago-like gangster style manner.
"Hmm, I never bothered considered messing around the holiday that brought too much fun and don't just say because I look like a clown" said the Joker.
"But you want to make the Batman look like a big fool right?" asked Baby Face to the Joker.
"True" replied the Joker, "but I'd prefer to do this on any holiday, but why Christmas?"
"Yea, what's eating you up Baby Face, my coin always tosses to the other side during this holiday" added Two-Face.
"Look, when I was little I never got what I wanted for Christmas, my parents were although big time mobsters like me didn't even have a heart for me which explains why I continue to have no heart for Christmas either" continued Baby Face.
"But you still have a heart for me" added Ms. Manface to Baby Face.
"Yea I guess I do still have that" said Baby Face.
"So how the heck are we going to ruin the holidays for the folks at Gotham?" asked Gentleman Ghost.
"The mayor is plotting to unveil a new memorial dedicated to the late Thomas Wayne" said Baby Face, "it's the perfect opportunity for us to strike!"
Indeed as the hours went by, a certain Bruce Wayne was greeted by the mayor whom was ready to share a large scissor to cut the ribbon for a building dedicated to his late father.
"I'm so glad that we decided to dedicate an orphanage after your late father" said the mayor.
"Yes, well, I'm sure my parents are probably proud of me" continued Bruce.
"Come, the ceremony's going to start soon enough" said the mayor.
As the two headed to the podium, the mayor and Bruce held the golden scissors ready to cut the ribbon to the building.
"I'd like to dedicate this to be the Thomas Wayne Orphanage" said the mayor.
But as the two were about to cut the ribbon together, a white laser out of nowhere ended up cutting the ribbon and knocking the golden scissors right from their hands.
"I don't think you'll be needing that" said Gentleman Ghost as he showed up.
"Alright see" said Baby Face as he along with his thugs with help from the Joker's thugs ended up knocking down the security guards, "this ceremony's canceled!"
"Who in your right mind do you think you are to impose yourself like this?" asked the mayor.
"I'm Baby Face and this here is a stickup mayor, you have ran Gotham for too long" continued Baby Face.
As Baby Face and his thugs were taking an unconscious police officer's handcuffs and placing it on the mayor's wrists, Bruce typically enough silently slipped out to change himself into the Dark Knight. It was rather chaotic as everyone were running for their lives away from the Joker and other villains whom were happily playing about. But as Baby Face was about to aim his gun at the mayor, a Baterang out of nowhere knocked it right off.
"The only thing you'll ever be disrupting is the peaceful sleep of your fellow prisoners in jail" said Batman.
"Well, well, look who finally showed up" laughed the Joker.
"Gorilla Grodd, take him down!" ordered Baby Face.
"With pleasure" said Grodd.
Grodd leaped right toward the Dark Knight and swung a punch at him sending the Dark Knight flying across the street. The Dark Knight wasn't alone as a certain Bat-Mite whom he had been watching over Batman for awhile noticed the fight.
"I say, that doesn't sound like a fair fight" said Bat-Mite.
Bat-Mite continued to observe the fight below as his hero the Dark Knight was being pummeled by not just Grodd, but also the Joker who ended up using a buzzer on the Dark Knight along with Two-Face whom whacked him with a cane knocking him unconscious.
"You're not getting your hands on my hero" said Bat-Mite with one snap of his fingers, the Dark Knight's unconscious body disappeared.
"I don't know what to say, but Christmas came early this year!" laughed the Joker.
"Knock it off with the Christmas junk, we came here to ruin it!" roared Baby Face.
"Oh come on, seeing the Batman disappear before my eyes is a dream come true!" laughed the Joker.
"I wished he could have stayed longer so that I could decide what to do with him" said Two-Face.
"You're forgetting our main objective" said Baby Face, "now the mayor himself will tell us where we can find the biggest Christmas tree that's already up so that we can tear it down for good."
The poor mayor had no other choice, but as to where Bat-Mite had made the Dark Knight disappear to was to another world where a certain Grinch who was kinder than before noticed the unconscious Dark Knight outside his own cave.
"Come on Max, we got ourselves a visitor to heal up" said the Grinch to his dog Max.
Indeed Bat-Mite had hoped the one who had nearly ruined Christmas in Whovile would be the ironic ally of the Dark Knight as he'd at least need an ally to face off a rogue of villains whom were plaguing the city.
