Disclaimer: Dont own anybody.

A/N: I love Bat-Mite, wish I could find more of him out there. R.I.P. being what it is, the crazy of this little piece might just work. R and R please friends.


The world changes when I open my hand, the orderly rearranges itself into third-dimensional chaos. Poor little third-dimensional beings, they haven't a clue as to what the world really looks like, their loss I guess.

My mortal, that is, the man I've chosen idolize and annoy for all of his short existence, has summarily taken a leap off the deep end. It's not entirely his fault, there's Dr. Hurt and his merry band of "evil", the Joker, writers and editors, taxes, the whole of this backwater dimension is enough to drive anyone insane. It's just his turn really.

I've been waiting for this moment. Time isn't as linear as "3D" people think. More like a book really, you ought to read from beginning to end and you won't really understand everything unless you do, but let's be real, everybody skips to the good parts.

"Uh, oh." Well, it looks like he finally got that stuff out of his system, wonder if it'll do him any good. Nice choice of colors Bat's, way to make lemonade out of lemons and all that. Now that you're a little on the more focused side, the fun can really begin.
