The Batman waited for little over three hours for his visitors to arrive.
Finally he heard a key turn in the doorknob and the Batman placed himself
in the middle of the hall, the first thing the Joker saw was his nemesis
waiting for him.
The Joker was not smiling as he say the Dark Knight. However he did break out a smile as he said "Hello..... Bruce." Batman's eyes went wide but he collected himself, "Your wrong Joker." The Clown laughed, "Imp not so sure, a big blue bird told me so."
Batman walked up to the Joker, close enough so that they were nose to nose. "Im not here to discuss Bruce Wayne, im here to discuss you."
Batman grabbed the Joker by the coat collar and threw him against a wall; "You're planning something, with Cobblepot, with Clayface and even with Livewire and Metallo" The Batman looked the Clown Prince of Crime over. "I know you arranged the murder of Vincent Cardioni." Batman fixed the Jokers coat and turned away leaving by the window he had entered in. "Enjoy your freedom, it wont last."
The Joker looked back at Harley Quinn, "I hate it when he does that."
The Batsignal shone brightly in the sky as the Batman left the Joker's government paid condo, He followed it to the police station where Jim Gordon awaited on the roof.
Gordon didn't wait for the dark knight to speak. "We have a problem Batman." The Batman listened and offered only that as his answer.
"The girl you saved in the warehouse... She has no belly button, No fingerprints.... We are not sure but...." Batman answered, "She's a clone, She has no birth marks or any original characteristics."
Gordon looked over the streets below. "The problem is, the United States government has placed a ban on human cloning, and it seems obvious that the clone will be terminated..."
Batman's voice answered with impatience and anger. "Im not a politician Jim, I don't have time to waste on politics." Jim Gordon pulled out a photo from his jacket, handing it to the vigilante. "The girl was kidnapped about a hour ago, the police protection she was offered was killed... The culprit it's."
Batman answered not taking his eyes off the photo. "Bane."
The APB was blasted over all communication channels, as the Batman listened in the batmobile, he heard the challenge. A thick Spanish accent came over the radio.
"This message is for Batman, by now you know I have taken something from Gotham City, Now if you want it back, you will meet me in Gotham Park for a final battle." The Voice paused; the Batman pulled a 180 and headed toward Gotham Park.
"If any police activity is detected I will execute the child, and my associates will unleash more chaos."
Bane paced Gotham Park for several minutes waiting for his rival to arrive; Hanging from a tree was a red camping bag, closed shut containing the kidnapped child.
The batmobile rolled to a stop at the front gates of the park, Bane kept his eyes on it. Nothing... As a minute went by Bane calmly side stepped and the Batman whizzed by him feet first. Bane laughed. "You need to do better than that my friend." He cracked his knuckles and charged the Dark Knight with several punches that were all blocked by the Batman. The final punch was caught in the Dark Knights hand who did not release it. "Who are you working for..." Bane seemed puzzled by the question as he himself caught a punch by the Batman locking them in a test of strength. "I don't know what your talking about Batman." "You're the last person I figured would come looking for a fight with me, Your too... Smart for that Bane." "Compliment taken" Bane simply said as he released the Batman's fist and punched him in the chest. The Dark Knight fell to the ground momentarily and bane caught him in a headlock chokehold. "Kidnapping the girl was just part of the deal Batman, in the end you will lose one way or another." The Batman reached over his shoulder and snapmared Bane, he then mounted his chest and began to punch in an angry fury. Bane used his arms to defend himself, and when the moment was right he rocked the Batman with another punch to the head, Blood trickled from both men's faces.
Bane let the Batman get up, he seemed almost relaxed as he got out of his fighting stance the Batman grunted "Im not beaten yet Bane." Bane wiped his face with his gauntlet as his hand pulled away he say the blood shimmering on the black texture. "I've done all I was paid too do." He made his way to a nearby tree and untied the red camping bag from it and tossed it to the Batman who caught it with ease. "You win. She's yours."
The Batman didn't take his eyes off of Bane as he opened the bag, as small body was indeed inside as he carefully removed it. As he felt the child's weight he knew something was wrong.
A doll, it was a doll, The Batman threw it to the ground but it served it's purpose as a thick cloud of green gas engulfed the dark knight who quickly fell to the ground laughing.
A voice in the cloud chuckled. "I have injected you with my joker so many times im surprised you haven't grown immune to it yet." The Joker became visible in the gas as he looked down at his nemesis; he kneeled down and grabbed the Batman by the neck. He looked in the Batman's eyes and began to laugh removing a gun from his coat pocket.
He aimed it at the Batman's face, The Joker was not smiling anymore "It's over" The Joker taunted. His eyes squinted a little as he continued "Bruce."
A small metallic sound was heard somewhere close in the distance, The Batman hoped his luck was about to change.
The Joker began to pull the trigger, but as the final ounce of pressure hit the trigger his aim was kicked away by an unseen figure.
Two Face pulled the clown prince of crime away from the Batman, "Cobblepot needs him alive, you can have him after we are done with him.
Bane picked up the Batman and slumped him over his shoulder as he followed the two Batman villains away.
