Later the next night at Wayne Mentor the party had started.


Everyone was wearing fancy tuxes and dresses enjoying themselves. Alfred was serving Bullock and Montoya some pork only for Harvey to take the whole plate much to the butlers annoyance.

"Hey thanks fancy pants." Said the chubby detective who then left to see if there was anything else to eat.

"You are what you eat a suppose." Said Alfred

"Sorry about him." Said Renee. "He doesn't know about proper etiquette or even knows how to spell it."

Meanwhile, Babs and Dick who were standing next to the punch blow.

"Ssssoooo..." Said Barbara awkwardly "When was the last time you and I danced?"

"A while." Said Dick who just stood there not knowing what to say.

After a moment of silence, Dick then finally spoke up.

"Look Barb I...Know this have been a long time coming but I'm just going to come out and say it..." Dick swallowing his pride. "I'm sorry."

Barb then looked at Dick in shock.

"About the whole me being upset with you when I quit being Robin." He said with a sad voice "I was angry at Bruce during the time and while he and I are cool now.. Well I was hoping that you and I..."

"Hey guys!" Said Tim interrupting them while holding his cell phone. "How's the signal here?"

"Lousy like your timing." Said Dick with an annoyed face.

"Sorry Dick." Said Tim while putting his cell phone in his pocket "It's just that ever since the party started, my signal has been a little shakey."

"Well you're not the only one Tim." Said Dick while taking out his cell phone and looking at it. "Weird, but I'm sure Alfred will take a look at it later."

"Well this going to be a boring...Party." Tim stood in a silent shock as he saw none other then Selina Kyle in a stuning gown.

The cops were a little shocked to see her too. "It's Catwoman," Harvey said "let's go cuff her."

"Wait Harvey." Said Jim Gordan "She was cleared of all charges when she helped Batman stop that cat cult a while back."

"That and I invited her." Said Bruce as he passed Jim and Harvey and approached her "It's been a while Selina."

"Yes it has Bruce." Selina then said with a smirk. "Look, sorry I haven't been in contact ever since I went full on theft. I didn't know how you would feel."

"I'm was disappointed." Said Bruce "But I'm over it."

"And I was hoping that we could start over." Selina said when she offered her hand. "I've been giving some thought after I left Gotham and well it got me thinking... Do I want to be a thief forever? Now that I've gotten my 'retirement' from crime I could go for something else like maybe work for you?"

Bruce looked at Selina and thought this could be another trick, but then he thought she hadn't been stealing anything for a long time, and she did just help him take down The Joker and Harley Quinn. Still this could be a trick and she could be planning to steal something from him. Then he though of the old 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer' tactic. If she was up to something, having her as his employee could help him keep and eye on her.

"Alright how about a desk job?" Said Bruce "You can start next week."

"Good enough for me." Said Selina she was about to walk off but not before she said "Looking forward to working for you Mr. Wayne."

She then walked off leaving Bruce standing there watching her walk out of the party.

"You still have feelings for her do you?" Said Dick who was standing next to him.

"What makes you think that?" Replied Bruce

"What other reason would you have for inviting her an then hiring her." Said the former Robin

"So I can keep an I on her." Bruce said to him quickly. "We all know that she's a really good con artiest."

"Well If you ask me." Said Dick "I think she's really means it this time."

"This coming from a guy who almost fell for her trick?" Said Bruce

"Well we all knew of her scam from the start remember?" Said Dick

"Yeah and I guess she does mean it this time." Bruce said "But it still wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on her."

"Well if she is up to something I'm sure Batman could stop her again." Said Dick

But little did they know that another women in the party saw the whole thing but with Bruce and Dick not knowing that she was watching. It was Talia who was getting really jealous.


Meanwhile at Arkham Asylum

The Joker and Harley were being escorted to their cells by the Asylum guards. While doing so they were passed by the cells of other Arkham inmates each one giving their own comments about The Joker and Harley's recent defeat. Each of the cells had the names of the inmates on them.

The first cell had the name 'Cobblepot, Oswald aka The Penguin'

"Well the two clowns have gone down again, huh." Said the Bird loving villain. "Why isn't that a surprise."

Then they passed the cell of 'Dr. Crane, Jonathan aka The Scarecrow'

"It would seem he's scared that Batman might just get board with him and moved on." Said the fear crazed baddie said. "Just a hunch."

They then passed another cell that said 'Nyqma, Edward aka The Riddler'

"Riddle me this." Said Edward "Why did The Joker get been beaten by Batman yet again?"

The next cell as the name 'Isley, Pam aka Poison Ivy'

"Well We all lost to Batman." Said the green and beautiful villainess. "But even I must adamant that he can be very 'dangerous' when he's like this."

Then the next cell had the name 'Dent, Harvey aka Two-Face.'

"I get the feeling that it was more then luck." Said the coin flapping villain. "That he keeps putting us in Arkham."

Then the next cell had the name 'Hagan, Matt aka Clayface'

"Well I don't know why he keeps stopping me from trying to find a cure." Said the shape shifting villain. "And getting revenge of the man who turn me into this."

Then another cell was being passed and it was "Dr. Fries, Victor aka Mr. Freeze"

"It just what he does." Said the ice themed villain. "It's just like when stopped me from seeking vengeance upon the one who did this to me and almost took away the women I loved."

The next cell that was being passed was named 'Jones, Waylon aka Killer Croc"

"What ever the reason." Said the reptile rouge while he was bearing his sharp teeth. "It's annoying."

Next there was a cell that had the name "Tetch, Jervis aka The Mad Hatter"

"Oh these are sad days for crime." Said the short villain. "As long as Batman is around there can be no way for a dis-honest buck."

Next there's a another cell that had the name 'Lynns, Garfield aka Fire Fly'

"If only he wasn't around." Said the pyromaniac "We'd be free to do what ever we want and we'd running this city."

Last but not least the cell that had the name 'Wesker, Arnold aka The Ventriloquist and Scarface'

"You said pal." Said the puppet "That flying rat always keep getting in our way."

"Well mister Scarface." Said Arnold. "Maybe if we were given a new honest line of..."

"Shut-Up Dummy!" Said the angry puppet. "No one was talking to you!"

"Alright that's enough all of you!" Said the one of the guards as he and the others were placing the clowns in their cells. "It's Light's Out."

"Well With everything that when on today." Said Harley "I could use some Z's."

"I'm hoping to dream about another plan to kill Bats." Said the clown prince,

"Oh come on Mr. J." Said Quinn "When are you going to get over B-man and just settle down."

"When a certain Dark Knight is deader then disco." Said the clown prince as he was lying down for rest. "But that would take a miracle."


Meanwhile at Black Gate Prison

Professor Achilles Milo was sharing his cell with fellow inmate Warren Lawford aka Fox, leader of the Terrible Trio.

"It's been months ever since Batman send me here." Said the mad doctor. "I've lost my lab and everything."

"Trust me Milo I know exactly how you feel." Said the former rich guy. "Me and my partners, Armand and Gunther lost our fortune because of that flying rat. We'd give anything to get even with him."

"Well good luck." Said Milo "Many had tried, but failed."

"If there is only some why we could take him down a peg." Warren said with an angry voice. But then he turned to Milo and thought of something. "Say Milo your into splicing Animal DNA with Human DNA right?"

"Yes but of course." Said Milo

"Then we might have something." Warren said with a smirk. "But first we need to get out of here...But how?"


Meanwhile back at the party.

Bruce Wayne was now speaking thought a micro phone and said "Attention hard working men and women of the Gotham PD, I'd like to say how horned I am to host the Policemen's Ball."

Everyone started clapping after he said that.

"I just wanted to say thank you for keeping the streets of Gotham City safe for it's citizens." Bruce continued as he gestured to the Commissar and Mayor. "And a special thanks to Commissar James Gordan and Mayor Hill for attending the ball."

Everyone began clapping again this time for Gordan and Hill. Bruce then gave them the micro phone.

"Well it's all thanks to the efforts of my fellow GCPDs." Said Jim with a smile. "You guys have worked very hard in keeping the city safe from the worst villains that have ever lurked in this crime ridden city."

As he continued his speech Harvey Bullock whispers to Renee. "Yeah and by our hard work he means the Bat's."

"Oh will you knock it off Harvey." Said Renee whispers back. "You're lucky that we got some recognition at all, and are lucky that all of the real wackos are behind bars so they can't hurt anyone again or worse."

"Yeah whatever." Said Harvey. "I'm just saying I bet that there's some big problems that not even Batman can't handle."


Meanwhile inside a Helicopter, Bane and some League of Shadows members were locking and loading some Bazookas.

"Here comes phase one of my plan." Said the masked fiend. "We break out all of the rouges in Gotham and have them wreak havoc in the City. Enough to have the Bat come out so we can not only analyze him, but wear him down. Then when he's exhausted I will break him both in body and in spirit."

The members then load the bazookas and took aim at Arkham.

"Fire." Bane said

Then almost instantly they took fire at the Asylum, leaving a giant hole in the place. The explosion was so big that it woke up the entire building.

"What the?" Said the clown prince himself. "Can't A guy get some sleep around here!?"

But then the glass cells started to break all around, and seeing the opportunity the villains started to make their escape. While they were doing so Bane and the League of Shadows were dropping crates of guns and other weapons at the escaped villains, who were grabbing them left and right.

"Hahahahahahaha!" The Joker laughed as he turned to Harley while knocking out a guard who was trying to stop him. "Looky here Harl! We've only been here a few days and we already made parole!"

"WE sure did Mr. J!" Said Harley Quinn who was now kicking another guard in the face.

The Penguin, who got a hold of his weaponized umbrella, useed it to shot at some guards. "Well Doctor Crane It would seem that these guards are afraid of us."

The Scarecrow showed up besides him and whipped out his fear gas while saying. "Well then let's give them something to be really be afraid of."

The next thing the guards knew that they were seeing their worst fears and were scared out of their wits.

"Riddle me this..." Said the Riddler as he got a hold of his cane and used it to smack around some guards. "What's green and purple but is as free as a bird?...ME!"

Then big vines came up from the ground and started to grab a hold of the guards, and Poison Ivy was the one controlling them as she made her way. "Sorry guards but I'm not going back in my cell."

Then we see Two-Face armed with guns and was shooting at the guards, "A big hole in the wall and falling weapons Christmas must have come early of us."

"Well Ho Ho Ho!" Said Clayface as he was used arms as hammers to smash some armed guards.

"Freeze!" said a guard who pointed a gun at Mister Freeze. "That's MR. Freeze to you!" He then shot his cold gun and froze the guard.

"Stop Jones!" Said A guard to Croc who grabbed him, and pulled him into the shadows. He bit his arm off and ate it.

"I hate to eat and run." He said while coming out of the shadows. "But I will." He then ran passed the other guards, their weapons proven ineffective.

"Sorry men but I'm late, I'm late for a very important date." Said the Mad Hatter as he toss a bomb at them. "No time to talk hello good bye I'm late, I'm late, I'm late."

Then the next thing the guards knew, the place was catching fire. It was Fire Fly in his suit flying above and sending flames to anything he could. "Burn baby! Burn!"

"Mister Scarface!" Said The Ventriloquist "How is this happing a giant hole in the wall and boxs of guns and weapons are falling from the sky!"

"Who cares how this is happening dummy!" Scarface said while slapping him. "This is our ticket out of here!"

The puppet the grabbed an machine gun and started shooting at the guards. "Come on we're getting the gang back together."


Meanwhile back at Black Gate the same thing was happening, and Warren now in his Fox mask with Milo was catching a ride on a stolen car with Armand and Gunther, who were are also wearing their Vulture and Shark masks escaping from the prison.

"Gentlemen." Said Warren "The Terrible Trio rides again."

Vulture then said while driving and gesturing to Milo. "Yeah but what about this guy?"

"Don't worry boys." Said Fox. "He's the answer to our Bat problem."

"Revenge on Batman how can I say no to that?" Said Milo with an evil grin, but it quickly turned into a concern face. "But unfortunately we still have one more problem. If this project you have planned needs me in on it, I need a lab." Milo then sat there and though. "But fear not I know just where to get one. An old friend of mine, Dr. Kirk Langstrom.. He wouldn't mine if we 'borrow' his."

Meanwhile back to one of the guards one of them said to the other. "Some call Gordon!"

"I'm trying but his not answering!" Shouted the other.


Back at the party in Wayne mentor everyone was still enjoying themselves. But the Bruce saw Talia in a dress and thought to himself "first Selina and now this."

He then approach her and then said "Hello Talia."

"Beloved." Said the daughter of the demon. "It's been a while hasn't it?"

"Since you left me in the middle of the desert." Said Bruce

"It was nothing personal beloved." She said sly smirk "You were trying to send my father to prison."

"He was trying to kill millions of people Talia." Said Bruce with a look. "He need to be locked up."

"Well now my brother have got a new plan." Said Talia as she continued.

"Brother?" Said Bruce shocked.

"And I didn't want to be a part of this one." Talia said quickly. "But...Then I saw you with that thief and now I suddenly don't feel guilty anymore."

"what plan are you..." Said said but was unable to finish as she then press a button to a remote then as soon as she did all the cell phones of cops when off.

"What the?" Said Gordan who then pulled out his cell phone and answered the call. "Gordan here...What! What do you mean they all escaped!?" He then turn to every cops there and said "Everyone there are major break outs at both Arkham Asylums and Black Gate Prison we need to move now!"

Then ever cop was getting ready to gear up, but back with Bruce he turn to Talia but she was gone.

"Bruce!" Said Gordan who got his attention. "Sorry that we have to cut this party short but we need to go!"

"I understand someone needs to stop them." Said Bruce.

"Barbra make sure you are at home as soon as you can okay?" Gordan said to his daughter.

"Sure dad." Barba said

Gordan said as he ran off with the cops and mayor Hill who was taking his leave anyway. "Thanks Bruce and I hope Batman knows about this."

"I get the feeling he knows." Said Bruce was he whispers to himself then as the gust left he turn to Alfred, Dick Babs, and Tim. "Suit up and gear up, Alfred hold all my calls."

"Yes sir." Said the loyal Butler.


Later was Batman and Robin were in Batmobile and Dick and Babs were riding the N-cycle on the streets on the Streets of Gotham.

"So let me get this straight." Said a very confused Robin "Talia was at the party and she was the one messing up the signals?"

"Yep." Said Batman "And if she's here Ra's can't be too fare behind."

"Well him and Talia's brother." Said Nightwing was he was talking to Batman thought his build in phone in N-cycle. "How'd a thought that Ra's had another son."

"Okay how many kids does this guy have?" Said Batgirl "And know Talia done this with pleasure out of joyously right Batman?"

"No time for relationships talk Batgirl." Said Batman as he put the peddle to the metal. "We've got scum to round up, we'll split up Robin your with me we're taking the east side. Nightwing, Batgirl your taking the east side."

"Got ya!" Said Nightwing as they spit up at the next intersection.


Meanwhile at one of the Joker's hideouts.

"Pudding why are we here?" Said Harley "You do know this is were B-man found us the last time?"

"Just getting a few things Harl." Said The Joker as he pulled out some bombs and Joker toxics. "Ha here they are."

"Yeah but Mr. J who broke us out of prison and why?" Said Harley.

"Right now Harley I don't care." The the Joker with a sinister grind. "Now we're going make a big coming out of Arkham party! Hahahahahaha!"

Then there was a crash from the top window and Batman and Robin when thought it making a nice landing.

"Party cancelled Joker!" Said Batman.

The Joker and Harley turn to the dynamic duo and the clown prince.

"Well if it's isn't Rat man and bird boy." Said Joker with a sly smirk. "Just like you to show up and try to ruin my fun?"

Batman then jump at the Joker and grabbed in by his purple tuxedo and said "Who is responsible for the break out Joker?"

"Oh I wish I knew but sadly I don't." Said The Joker in a fake sad voice. "But I know this something big is coming to Gotham and i get to feeling that it's going to be fun and I'm gonna be part of it."

Then Harley wacked Batman on the side with her hammer making him let the Joker go. "You're ruin date night B-man."

"Sorry about clown girl." Said Robin who was running to her then lands a kick to her stomach. "Maybe you can have a nice quite time with 'pudding' at a different prison."

She then got up and then try to hit Robin with her hammer but he was able to dodge by jumping on a pipe, but then the Joker then spray some acid from his fake flower on the pipe casing him to fall into a dumpster.

Batman then ran to the two clowns, but then The Joker then threw a grenade at the dark knight but he was able to get out of the way before it when off. But unfortunately The Joker and Harley got into The Joker mobile.

"SEE YOU AROUND BATSEY!" Shouted The Joker as he and Harley drove off and lough all the way. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Batman looked on in frustration as they got away, Then Robin who got out of the trash said "I hope Batgirl and Nightwing are having better luck then we are."


Meanwhile at the iceberg lounge.

The Praguian and some of his henchmen are getting their guns and weapons.

"Hey boss why did we come here?" Said one of the henchmen. "Don't you think the cops will come looking for us here?"

"Of course I know that which is way we're getting ready for them." Said the Brid theme villain. "I still don't understand why they send me to Arkham! Was because I killed a man who was mocking me? Well he deserve it! No makes fun of me I had the prefect way from being put behind bars but then that flying rat had to ruin it! But I'll get even with that mask fool!"

But then a wingnut hit the table that was next to The Penguin "What the?"

He then turn to see Nightwing and Batgirl were on the second floor of the lounge. "Sorry did we crashed you club?"

"Guess we knew it was just for low life's only." Said Batgirl

"Get them!" Said The Penguin as the henchmen then pulled out their guns and took fire at them but Nightwing and Batgirl were able to dodge all the bullets. Then Nightwing then landed an upper cut one goon knockings him out and Batgirl was able to kicked another in the face in to the seal lake in the center of the lounge.

Nightwing then confront Penguin and said "Okay flightless bird! Who caused the break out? Was it you?"

"My dear boy." Said The Penguin. "If I was responsible that way would I bother breaking out all those other inferiors?"

Nightwing just stood there and realized that the is right, but then The Penguin pulled out his weaponized umbrella and have it turn into a blade and try to slash Nightwing but he pulled out his Escrima Sticks and blocked it and the two were fighting it out.

Meanwhile with Batgirl she was still fighting some henchmen. But then two was able to sneak up grabbed and gagged her, tied Batgirl up with some rope.

"Hey Bird boy!" One of then henchmen said "Back off the boss or your girlfriend going to be sleeping with the fishes!"

Nightwing turn to see Batgirl being held hostage.

"Well it seems that now you have a choose Nightwing." Said the fowl crime boss. "You can either try and get me or save you lady friend...Toss her in to the lake!" He ordered his men and then they toss her in.

But then Nightwing used his glider wings on his suit and saved her in a nick of time but The Penguin and his goons were able to get away. Then Nightwing was able to get Batgirl to safety and get the gagged out from her mouth.

"That was very embarrassing." Said Batgirl.

"Hey at least your okay." Said Nightwing.

"Thanks for the save." Said Batgirl who looked at Nightwing with smile and he smile back.

"Hey no problem." Said Nightwing who then turn to see the door were The Penguin got away. "It just too bad old fish breather escape."

"Well I get the feeling it's going to be a long time to round up him and all those other escapees." Said Batgirl as she also turn to the door. "And much harder."
