Hi!
Disclaimer: I don't own Batman. I own his Unit manual though. XP
Inspired by something I came across in TVTropesdotcom, where someone wrote something about the whole crime-fighting and stuff being all in Bruce's head, and that the villians and allies are based on his fellow patients. That really struck me, so here's the drabble!

Insanity
"Bruce? Bru-uce?"
"Whhaaaddd?"
"It's dinner time. We're having meatloaf today and there's apple pie for desert."
"Apple pie. Apple-apple-apple-paaiii. But I'm Batman. I'm busy. Joker ran away."
"Jack is already at the table, Bruce. He's waiting for you."
"No. NO. Jack – Joker ran away. I'm Batman. I must catch him now. No time for dinner."
"Okay then, Bruce. But we've already caught him. He's in the dining hall. But you cannot hit him, Bruce. You cannot hit him."
"B-b-b-but, why? He's bad."
"Jack is not bad, Bruce. He just has problems."
"He killed Rachel. Must hurt him. I am Batman."

This is probably somewhat confusing. Basically, Bruce, Rachel and Jack(Joker) are inmates in a mental asylum. Bruce suffers from delusions and schizophrenia, making him believe that he is a crime fighting hero named the Batman. Because he and Jack don't get on well, Jack naturally becomes the 'bad guy'. This drabble happens after Rachel dies (of natural causes) but Bruce belives that Jack killed her. The poor nurse is trying to stop him from jumping off a table and go eat dinner instead.
Feel free to ask questions!
Have a nice day!
