It was a dark and stormy night and Bruce Wayne was watching television.
"The Gotham Police has just stated that Joker and just escaped from Arkham Asylum and has a lady being held hostage and is asking for a ransom of $100,000,000. Police state that he escaped last night at 11:33 at night. If any one has any information on the lady he has hostage and if you have seen the Joker recently please call the Gotham Police."
"Alfred," said Bruce, "Joker just doesn't quit does he."
"No sir he doesn't. You know what sir I think he likes getting beat by you," said Alfred.
"Alfred, said Bruce, "I have to be more careful this time. I must protect the lady before I engage combat with Joker."
"Sir, said Alfred, "I have a suggestion. Maybe you should try out the new armor suit I built for you last Tuesday."
"That's a great idea. Alfred suit me up," said Bruce.
In the blink of an eye Bruce shot down through the emergency hatch to his secret lair and got dressed.
"Alfred do me a favor, said Bruce, " I have a date with a girl I met at the library the other day. Tell her I am sorry but we have to move it to next week."
"Certainly sir," said Alfred.
At that time Bruce was out the door and on to the street. He then got a phone call from commissioner Gordon.
"Batman Joker still has the lady hostage. He's under the big bridge on 26th street. Be careful Batman," said commissioner Gordon.
"Will do commissioner," said Batman.
Then Batman reached his destination. As soon as he stepped down he has gunshots firing at him from Joker's henchmen.
"Batman do you expect to get anywhere while your getting shot at by my henchmen. You should know you have no chance against me," said Joker.
"Come over here and fight me like a man," said Batman.
"Why don't you come over here," said Joker.
"My pleasure," said Batman.
