Chapter 2 - Drives Him Bats
The villains and heroes do the cancan towards the flames. Batman has a choice let the villain get away or let the other villains and heroes burn. Batman uses his roped batarang to wrap around the dancers and shots another roped batarang at the tower. He ties the two batarangs together so the dancers don't get any closer to the flames. A ladder drops from the batcopter from above and he climbs it and gets in the copter. He shots a rope at the dancers and pulls them away from the rocket that's about to take off. He drops them on the ground and the heroes kick the villains in the face.
"Something tells me this is only the beginning of Music Meister's evil orchestration," Batman stated, staring into the distance.
"Sounds like you could use a pal to track him down," Green Arrow offered walking forwards, with Canary awkwardly trailing behind.
Batman took a hold of his hand and Arrow could feel himself blush. 'He's holding my hand! Why is he holding my hand?'
Batman thought that Arrow looked cute when he blushed. 'Wait cute? What am I thinking? Arrows as straight as an arrow and even if he liked boys, he would never like me. I'm too serious and focused on my work, he could never know that I'm Bruce Wayne and he deserves someone that could fit him in their schedule. I have too many matters that need my attention, plus how could I do that to Alfred? He practically raised me. So there, Arrow and I will never work.' Batman unlocked the handcuffs and leaves a pair of earplugs in his hand.
'Oh, of course, he just needs to take the handcuffs off. It's not like he likes me anyway, besides he doesn't swing that way. I've been spending way too much time with Speedy.' Thought Arrow embarrassed. He tuned in when Batman started talking.
"These ear plugs will protect you from the Meister's lethal lyrics." Batman tosses a pair to Canary and Aquaman. He grapes the ladder and is carried away.
"I could use a pal," Canary offers.
"I'm not giving up that easily Batman," Arrow stated.
In an abandoned opera house in Gotham, Music Meister is playing the organ. Once he finishes his last note he stands up, tips the chair backwards, stands in front of the cut out cardboard audience and throws his black coat off, to reveal a humongous white fur cape. He looks out to the audience and bows. "Thank you, thank you! Oh ho ho, you're too kind!" Music Meister straightens up and speaks about his devious master plan to the silent adoring crowd. "With the satellite in my control, soon all the world will be singing my praise and making me rich. Though there is one thing that could still get in my way-"
He cuts off when he sees a shadow of someone loaming over him.
Batman brings his cape up in the shape of a bat in front of the lights. "Your shows about to have a long intermission, Music Meister. 20 years to life." He jumps down in front of the stage light.
"Batman, always Batman," Music Meister complains, running to the organ and playing some notes. Smoke comes out of the organ. The smoke covers the entire opera house, allowing Music Meister to get his bike.
"He always has a sidekick
Some boy wonder at his call
His utility belt holds everything
Can't find that at the mall
The batmobile is superfast
There is no car that is surpassed."
He reaches the civilians and the civilians grab Batman by the cape and drag him down.
"It's a good thing we've got Arkham
'Cause he really drives us bats."
Music Meister drives pass Arkham and the inmates join him in singing.
"Drives us bats
Drives us bats
He really drives us bats
Bats
Bats
He drives us bats."
Batman finally gets free of the civilians and grabs onto Music Meister's bike. His bike breaks in half and they're forced to ride them like scooters. Music Meister pulls his green cloak off and his entire outfit changers to a marching band outfit.
"When dancing with the bat you see
Or using an array of tools
He's always got the answers
He makes us look like fools."
Batman makes a leap for Music Meister's bike but Meister flies into the sky and changes his outfit again into an 80's pop outfit and flies past Irongate Prison, while Batman misses his target and falls to the ground below.
"He's got no super powers
He's just a flying rat
It's a good thing that we've got Arkham
'Cause he really drives us bats."
Irongate's inmates join in.
"Drives us bats."
"World's greatest detective."
"Drives us bats."
Gorilla Grodd joins in, pouting on his tire swing.
"Foiling every evil scheme."
The inmates join in again.
"He really drives us bats
Bats
Bats
He drives us bats."
Music Meister shoots open the gates to Irongate Prison.
"Even without shark repellent," Black Manta sings in his giant fishbowl.
"He's tougher than he seems," Clock King sings, as he lifts weights.
"Other heroes often ask-" Aquaman cuts off as he gets tackled by the 18 prisoners around him.
"Why is he always the top cat?" Black Canary sings before getting tackled down as well.
"He drives us bats
Drives us bats
Drives us bats."
Green Arrow stands on a rooftop overlooking the chaos. He tries to stay away from hand to hand combat because he knows he isn't that good.
"Look at him
Save the day
Keeping evil far away." He punches someone in the face and kicks a person holding a knife, throwing him away.
"A brave man
Like no man
Be my man
Batman," sing Arrow as he stares at Batman. He does a 360 back-flips over the mob of crooks behind him. He backhands all of them, sending them tumbling to the ground.
"If only he could love me
He could love me
If only he could love me
Like he loves fighting villainy."
On a lower rooftop Music Meister looks at Arrow with lust.
"How he sings
Sweet as day
I could take him away
An enchanter's voice, sparrows, my hero, Green Arrow." Spotlights shone on Arrow kicking some poor stranger off the rooftop. Music Meister stared at him.
"If only he could love me."
"If only he could love me," Arrow started singing again.
"If only he could love me."
"If only he could love me."
"If only he could love me."
"If only he could love me."
"Like I love…"
"If only he could love me," as Arrow dragged out the last two words, Music Meister continues singing.
"Villainy!"
Green Arrow only just notices that Music Meister is behind him.
"Our voices may be in tune
But you sir don't make me swoon!" Green Arrow runs to Batman who was getting overwhelmed by the prisoners.
"Our voice's the perfect match
But your life I'll now dispatch!"
Music Meister shots music bars at Green Arrow.
"Aaahhhhhh aaahhhhhh aaahhhhhh!"
Green Arrow gets hit by Meister's beam, the same time Batman is taken out and falls unconscious.
