A/N: This sketch story is extremely inconsequential, and there's no special point to it. It basically sums up what Batman and his greatest nemesis, the Joker, are all about in one humorous parody of their serious history. It's inspired by the Monty Python sketch, "The Fish-Slapping Dance." I'm an amateur at this type of humor, so no flames or heavy criticism, please.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Dark Knight trilogy, director Christopher Nolan does; I'm just playing around with it.
The Joker's Dance
"Mwhahahahahaha!"
The Joker danced. Batman stood nearby and watched him stonily.
As he danced, the Joker hummed to himself, "Da, da, de duh duh, duh, duh, duh, duh! Da, da, de duh duh, duh, duh, duh, duh!" as he merrily skipped from victim to victim. He was dealing out joker playing cards to each of them.
Gambol fell with a delightful card scar on his mouth.
Lau was set ablaze by a lovely conflagration of hot-headed jokers.
A similar fate awaited Rachel Dawes as she magically poofed out of this world.
Harvey Dent lost half his face to the gaiety of another ahead-of-the-curve comedian.
All the while, the Joker continued to hum happily, while Batman clenched his fists and waited for the right moment.
Harvey Two-Face danced and flipped his coin and it came up white. Disappointed, he flipped again. Again it was the white side. He kept flipping and flipping until he came up black, and he turned his gun on Sal Maroni and the cops.
Wuertz and Maroni dropped off like flies, but Ramirez was merely dazed and traumatized. The Joker laughed.
Finally, the Joker and Harvey turned on Batman. Two-Face tossed his coin from hand to hand like a trinket while joining the Joker's maniacal dance. The Joker slapped his razor-sharp cards against Batman's body armor. Batman felt the stinging pain, but he just stood there and did not falter.
Two-Face kept flipping his precious coin, and the Joker continued to gleefully play his joker cards on Batman, smiling his Glasgow grin every time he scored a hit, until he ran out of cards, and Two-Face flipped black again, only to realize the gun was empty.
The two twisted crooks stopped dancing and looked at Batman. The Joker stopped humming.
Then, the Caped Crusader displayed his own weapon, a batarang as large as a halibut. Glaring, he whacked the Joker on the head with it, causing the Clown Prince of Crime to fall off the roof to his apparent death. Two-Face soon followed.
The Joker laughed his triumphant laugh. Harvey screamed.
A flock of bats came from... somewhere, and caught the Joker in his fall, eating him within their group. They missed Two-Face, though.
Harvey screamed until he died. The Joker laughed once more, but in defeat.
"Maybe you and I are destined to do this dance forever," he shouted as the sated bats shuttled him off to the underworld prison called "Arkham Asylum."
Batman actually smiled. "Not this time."
