Superman lifted off with a wave of his hand and left The Batman to ponder
his next course of action, A sound in the background did not startle the
dark knight and he already knew who was coming up to see him, The man stood
next to Batman high above the street, looking over the smouldering wreck of
the warehouse.
"You know who did this" Jim Gordon asked the Batman, who answered with a nod. "Vincent Cadrioni is a plague on the city, Gothams DA wants to offer his old partner a full pardon for his crimes in exchange for his testimony."
Batman turned his head, "The Joker is not fit to be released, and He is just going to kill people until I put him back in Arkham." Gordon nodded, "Probably but we have no other witnesses, Cardioni is currently the bigger threat."
Batman pointed to the paddy wagon picking up the thugs the Batman had taken apart, "You have more than enough."
As if on cue the paddy wagon exploded killing the criminals and the driver, The Batman scanned the area and took off with his grapple gear across the street. Gordon screamed out after him, "Meet me at my office, I need to talk to you."
Arriving across the street, The Batman found a dead man laying on his stomach with a rocket launcher lying next to him. Batman rolled the man over revealing the man was of Mexican descent. The Batman scanned the area there was no more danger.
The Batman headed to ground level, to hand over the little girl he had saved to a paramedic. It was going to be a long night.
Jeremiah Arkham wiped his head with a tissue; it was not overly hot in arkham hospital, however his guest scared him. "You understand, I am not supposed to let you of all people see the Joker, and I will not be responsible for anything that may happen to you."
The man answered with audible anger. "You WILL let me see the joker, or I will not clean up your messes the next time you drop the ball."
Dr Arkham opened a door, it was pitch black, only the occasional rustling of chains and soft laughter was audible. The man went in and the door locked itself behind him.
The Joker looked up, his sweaty forehead plastering his green hair. Laughing he spoke "Of all the people to visit me, you where the last person I expected to see. HOW is your little sidekick anyway.ยป?
The man lunged at the Joker grabbing him by the throat choking his air supply but not his laughs. He spoke, in a tone more like a growl. "You are receiving a full pardon for your crimes, in exchange for your testimony against your old boss. I wanted to let you know, screw up just once, and this time I will kill you."
The man released his grip and knocked for the door to be opened, The Joker began to laugh as the door opened the laughs got louder. Dr Markham was waiting to meet him on the other side of the door. "Try to have a nice night Commissioner Gordon." Gordon said nothing as he left Arkham hospital.
The Joker left the courthouse a free man, Vincent Cadrioni was convicted of several counts of murder. Massive media coverage attempted to ask a few questions. The Clown Prince of Crime ducked into a waiting van, which pulled away quickly. The Joker leaned back into the back seat and relaxed only to be tackled by a shrieking woman in the front passenger seat who planted several kisses on him.
The Clown pushed the woman off and wiped his face with his sleeve. As he caught a look at the woman he spoke surprised, "Harley! What the devil are you doing here."
Harley Quinn settled into her seat and giggled before answering, "I got parole thanks to good behaviour, plus I had some help on the outside."
The Joker lost interest as he looked out the window, several piles of money falling on his lap sparked his interest again, and He looked over at Harley who pointed at the driver. The driver smiled "Compliments of mister Cobblepot" He adjusted his mirror to get a better look at the clown. "Our organisation hopes that you held up your end of the bargain. The Joker laughed "Oh don't worry Vincent Cadrioni is dead already." As he said this the radio confirmed it, The Joker continued to laugh. The driver nodded and spoke once again "Excellent, Mister Cobblepot desires to see you right away."
The van pulled into a massive mansion, five stories tall, The driver stopped in front of the main doors rushed around and opened the door allowing the Joker to exit without effort, Standing up he dusted off his coat in a cartoonish fashion and headed toward the door opening it as if he owned the house.
The Penguin waddled to meet his guest, "Ah my humorous ally I am so glad you met me, and I have a special treat for you."
The joker jumped his gun, "Let me guess, the death of Batman... The Torture of Batman, or dare I even say the castration of Batman."
The Penguin rolled his eyes, "Not quite, I give you." He pressed a button on his umbrella lowering a television from the ceiling. "The fall of earths greatest hero, Superman."
The television flickered on and it showed Superman flying over metropolis, The Penguin pointed as his challenge arrived.
The parasite, Mettallo, Clay Face and Livewire attacked, Superman blasted the parasite with heat vision. However livewire laid her hands on the Man of Steels neck electrocuting him severely. "Sorry Superman I know your one true weakness." Superman grinded his teeth reaching over and punching Livewire off of him.
Clayface wrapped himself around Superman containing him, Mettalo blasted him with Kryptonian radiation, rendering him powerless. Finally the Parasite leeched Superman's powers and memories he smiled and pulled out a cellular phone.
The Penguins phone rung and was promptly answered "Your kidding, no I'll tell him right away, he is right here with me." He snapped his phone shut and turned to the joker laughing.
"Batman is in reality Bruce Wayne."
The Joker cackled madly, sweat falling from his forehead; he clutched the side of his head as if a migraine had hit him.
The penguin pressed a different button on his umbrella allowing a nearby wall to revolve, revealing The Flash, Green Lantern, Plastic Man, Aquaman and the other members of the justice league stuck in suspended animation.
"And with the justice league on ice, nothing can stop us..."
The Joker finished Cobblepot's thoughts. "I don't care what your plans and Penggy, Just guarantee that the Batman's death will be mine and mine alone." He clutched the Penguing by the neck with bout hands, the veins in his eyes where a blood red. "Promise me' He screamed.
The Penguin nodded, The Joker snapped back into reality letting go of his grip, Cobblepot coughed "I Promise"
"You know who did this" Jim Gordon asked the Batman, who answered with a nod. "Vincent Cadrioni is a plague on the city, Gothams DA wants to offer his old partner a full pardon for his crimes in exchange for his testimony."
