SHOWDOWN
JOKER
He plans to hold the Wayne Fusion Generator hostage and blackmail the city. "We have ten guys on the inside so our team will be made up fifty. The rest will stay here and guard the base" Joker says laying out his plan to his lieutenants. "We move out in five." He had made his trucks to look like utility trucks used by Wayne Energy.
They drive up the street towards the power plant. The guard at the gate is working for Joker. They enter the facility and park at the truck dock. Meanwhile two men in the main control room kill their coworkers and contact Joker so that he and his people can move in. Unbeknownst to Joker a Bat-drone is watching.
When he has control of the facility and holds fifty hostages he broadcasts a signal across Gotham. "Good evening socialites, Government officials, ladies and germs of Gotham…Joker here…I have taken control of the Wayne Fusion generator…The Mayor of Gotham has twenty-one hours to drop off ten million dollars in cash…Everyone else has half that time to call in or log on to following web address and say Hail Emperor Joker…If you don't, well this will happen!" He nods and the power in the narrows is shut off…Then it comes back on. "And to the Batman! I double dog dare you to come down here and stop me…I've got fifty hostages just begging for you to try.
Hahahahahahahahahahaaa!"
BRUCE
"How in the hell did he hack my system?" Bruce says over the phone to Lucious Fox.
"Someone high ranking Mister Wayne…He cut the system off from the Wayne Network…"
"Get a count on who is missing and who got out and then do another background check on all employees."
"Yes Sir."
"I'll be working from home and coordinate with Commissioner Gordon."
He has Richard assume his roll as Bruce Wayne and goes down to the Batcave. "Barbara."
"I can't hack into the system. He cut off the Power plant from the Wayne network."
"What about using the phone system to reach the network."
She nods, "That could work, but then someone would have to pick up the phone and leave the line open long enough to get through."
"I'm going down there."
"You know this is a trap!"
BATMAN
Bruce dawns his bat-suite and hops into the Batmobile and drives off. When he reaches the Power Plant a helicopter is flying off with Joker's face on the side. "Barbara!"
"I here."
"Twenty-one of Joker's goons is not moving. I think they are dead." That is when the hostages run towards and a woman screams. "What happened?"
"Some crazy woman in a ninja suite killed the Joker's men and freed us." A man says.
"Get out of here all of you." Some of them have severed heads, a few are missing arms and legs, and a couple have arrows or ninja throwing stars in their bodies. "What in the world did this?"
"Hello Batman." He turns to find a woman dressed in black with a red sash on her waist and some type of demon symbol on a chain around her neck. "We finally meet."
"Who are you?"
"I am the heir to the League of Shadows…"
"I have heard of you…"
"This is what should be done to all those break the law." She says kicking one of the dead bodies.
"We have laws!"
"And when those laws fail Batman…Then we must take the law into our own hands…"
"You killed these men! That makes you know better than them."
"Such closed mindedness…After witnessing the death of your own parents…One might think you would do what must be done." He keeps his emotions in check, "Yes I know who you really are, but your secret is safe with me…"
"I'm afraid I am going to have to take you in."
"Good luck with that Batman." She throws a gas pellet on the ground and escapes.
"Run I will find you." He says and returns to the Batmobile and watches as the drone follows Joker's helicopter to the Old Axis Chemicals Plant.
He calls Commissioner Gordon, "Batman!"
"I know where the Joker is operating from…Take me off speaker." He hears a click, "I'm going to take down the Joker…You can send your men to clean up…An email will be sent to inbox…Be ready."
"I will be."
"One other thing do not respond in anyway or look at her when I say this…You need to keep an eye on Doctor Harleen Quinzel…I think she has developed Erotomania for the Joker…I think she freed the Joker and may have been reinforcing his psychosis." He hangs up the phone and drives at full speed through the streets of Gotham. When he arrives Batman presses a button activating his car's battering ram, smashing through the gate and then the wall. Joker's men start shooting at the bullet proof car. He presses another button and releases Bat-stingers into the air. The stingers are similar to the Drones, but are armed with shock sleeping darts.
JOKER
He watches the monitors as his men are incapacitated. A drone shoots Bob and his bodyguards. "You stinking fucking party crasher!" He yells shooting the Drone. "I got something for you Assman! Hahahahahahaha…That's funny Assman." He takes out a rocket launcher. Then he leaves the office, "Come out! Come out wherever you are!" His rocket launcher is taken away by grapple hook.
"Son of…Come out and fight like a man!"
"Okay!"
Joker turns and is punched in the face. Down the steps he goes with a busted mouth and nose. Batman lowers himself down with his grapple and walks up to Joker, "Okay I surrender." He says after Batman forces him to his knees. "Want to hear a joke?"
"No!"
"What did the Bat say when he got squirted with acid?"
"AAAHHH!"
As Batman stumbles backwards his armor melts around his right shoulder, chest, and neck. Joker gets to his feet and pulls out his gun, but he is shot in the back with taser dart from a drone.
