The Joker glances out the window. Outside of the building, cops are everywhere. Excellent just as I wanted. I want them to see this. Joker thinks to himself. Joker then turns back to the hostages that he has tied up to chairs.
There are two of them, a teenage boy and girl who were going out. "So kids having fun?" Joker asks them, smiling, trying to seem nice. "Go to hell," the boy says. The Joker laughs, not knowing how soon that is to happen.
Joker turns to the girl, "What about you, how do you feel about this, sweetie?" "Please let me go!" the girl pleads, crying. "But if I were to do that then you would miss the fun!" Joker says, with excitement.
The girl starts crying even more. "What do you want with us?" the boy asks, trying to sound brave. "I want to play a game," Joker says. "A game?" "Yes a game."
Before the boy could respond, Commissioner Gordon talks with a microphone, "Joker let the hostages go!" Joker walks over to the window, "We're kinda in the middle of something right now, flat foot but don't worry you have a part to play to."
Joker looks back at the hostages, "Now where were we? Oh yes, a game! So how do you kids feel about spin the bottle?" Neither one of them respond. "Yeah your right, you guys must already be at second base," Joker says.
"Oh I know!" Joker exclaims. "What?" the boy asks. "Let play Ice Breakers!"Joker states. "Ice Breakers?" the boy asks, confused and annoyed at the same time.
"Yes and I'll be the one to break it," Joker reveals; "Now without further ado, Katherine is it?" The girl nods, crying. "Well, Katherine I understand that you listen to Tailor Swift and you write romantic music and you're in a band. Is that correct?" Joker asks. Katherine nods.
"Now tell me what do you expect in a guy?" Joker demands. Katherine looks at him confused, "What?" "Answer the question or I'll blow you damn head off," Joker says, sweetly.
The girl cries harder. "I won't ask again," Joker says, this time rougher. "He has to be romantic, sweet, good looking, "Katherine answers, still crying.
"Non- perverted?" Joker asks. Katherine nods. "Well I gotta shock for you, sister!" Joker says laughing. "What?" "Your boyfriend masturbates twenty times a day! His friends call him, what was it called? Oh yes! The whacking off king!" Joker says laughing.
Katherine looks at her boyfriend, "Brian?" "Oh and wait till you here the best part! Oh well video speaks for itself," Joker says before pulling out a tape and placing into a VCR and turning the TV on.
The tape shows Brian in his bedroom with another girl. Joker laughs as the tape rolls. "Brian? What did you do?" Katherine asks him, angrily. "What? Your concerned about that? When we're being held hostage by the world's most notorious criminal?" Brian argues.
"We're waiting, Brian," Joker says, "Tell her how you want to get laid and that it annoys you of how religious you are. Or wait even better! Tell her what you said about her music and her dream to become like Tailor Swift! Or should I play the other tape?"
Katherine turns to Brian, "What did you say?" "I didn't say anything, he's lying!" Brian argues.
Joker laughs, "And they call me a liar!" Joker pulls out a tape recorder and pressed play. A voice is heard, "So Brian why is your girlfriend in a band?" Brian responds by saying, "Oh cause she has a shit dream of becoming like Tailor Swift."
"Brian? Do you really think that?" Katherine asks him. "What? No! I…" Joker cuts Brian off, "Don't worry, Kathy you'll get your revenge."
Joker then unties her. Katherine gets up, confused. Joker pulls out a gun and hands it to her.
"What do you want me to do with this?" Katherine asks. "I want you to kill your shitty excuse for a boyfriend," Joker orders.
"What? I can't do that! I'm not a murderer!" Katherine argues. "Think of how much he's hurt you then. All that pain! How angry does he make you feel?" Joker reasons.
"It's still not enough for me to want to kill him. Even though he's not the kind of boyfriend I thought he was," Katherine says. "Well how touching! You teenage girls are overly romantic. Unfortunately this is real life and we're not living in a fairy land," Joker says before pulling out his gun.
Katherine looks at him shocked, "What are you going to do to him?" "I'm gonna shoot him in his face, silly," Joker says as if he was talking to a five year old girl about Santa Clause.
Katherine aims her gun at him, "You can't I won't let you!" Joker turns to her surprise, "Oh no! Can it be? Does innocent, virgin teenage girl actually have guts?"
Katherine pulls the trigger and a flag that says "Bang!" comes out. The Joker laughs hysterically at these turn of events.
"You've got spirit, kid, I'll give you that. That's why I'm going to let you live," Joker says before turning back to her boyfriend.
Before he can do anything, though, the lights in the room go out. "I was wondering when you were going to show up, Batsy!" Joker gleefully says. "It's over Joker! Let them go!" orders Batman. "Come on Bat breath, you know me well enough to know that will never happen," Joker retorts.
Batman kicks the Joker, knocking him onto the wall. Joker retaliates by firing several shots. An unseen fist then slams the Joker in his face. Joker grunts as Batman continues to hit him.
Batman continues until he eventually grabs Joker by his collar and slams him against the wall, "It's over Joker!" "It hasn't even begun," Joker sputters, coughing up blood.
A knife falls out of Joker's sleeve and into his hand. Joker shoves it through Batman's armor and into his chest. Batman groan and lets go of Joker before falling to the ground.
Joker unwittingly steps in front of the window and begins to laugh hysterically. In fact he's so busy laughing that he feels to notice a sniper dot on his shoulder.
Joker is then hit in his shoulder. Joker screams in pain before getting hit several times in his back. Joker loses balance and falls backwards, out the window, laughing all the way.
As he's falling several stories, Joker laughs so hard that he can hardly breathe. Joker keeps it up until he hits the hard pavement below…
