A/N: if you are planing to play Arkham City, then don't read this. It's a spoiler to the ending of the game's main story.

Anyways, hope you like it.

'You have one new missed call. Call received two hours ago.'

'Hey Bats! Bet you wondering what is this all about, don't you? Oh well...it just feels like I owe you an explanation. You know, for poisoning you... or maybe not. Hehehe - (cough)

Okay lets face it, you didn't deserve that. But hey! Who else could I have depended on? You are my BFF after all! Yet here I'm regretting it. Not that I don't trust your resolution! Oh no! It's these damn bodies that I hate! What if your body has crumbled down while you were searching for my cure? If that ever happened I would... You know actually... Hohoho - (cough) - that would have been kinda funny now that I'm thinking about it! Hehehe!

But still, I would never have forgiven myself. Well, not never, but maybe for a while.

Oooh Batsy! Were would I ever find someone to dance with me if you died?! One of your little baby bats? Ack… that actually makes me feel even sicker than I already am! You are irreplaceable Batso.

No. One.

No one can understand me but you. As I always say, you and I are the same, and no one can complete us but one another.

(cough)

Anyways darling, I'm just glad that you are still alive. So far. Hehehehe.'

"Batman?" Oracle called through the transmitter. "Can you hear me, Bruce? You know it's not your fault. The Joker..."

Batman switched off the transmitter, not willing to hear the rest of the sentence. It had been almost an hour since he left the Joker's body on the hood of Gordon's police vehicle. Yet he could still feel how cold the clown's body was even through his thick gloves. So cold and lifeless. Almost human once again. How ironic that it was death that brought what few human traces were left in the Joker.

The Dark Knight might have came out alive that night, yet a part of him had died in that theater. Along with his greatest archenemy. His self-proclaimed other half.

Batman laughed bitterly at his thoughts before he was interrupted by the sound of a new message.

'My dearest Bats, if you are listening to this it means that I have already kicked the bucket and got myself a oneway ticket on the Hell Express. Which is unbelievably hilarious! Hohoho! Who knew I would end up as the punchline of my own joke? Ehehehe - (cough)

Whatever happened, I'm positive it was't your fault.

Thank you, Bruce.

(cough)

I love you, my Batman.

Goodbye.'

A/N: I just have a love-hate relation with Arkham City's ending. It's somehow perfect yet hateful. So I just had to add something to it. Hope you enjoyed this, though it's pretty much simple. Please do leave your review and show your support for the Jokes!
