AN: One of the Gotham trailers has some poor bastard saying, 'you know when you walk, you look just like a penguin!'
Better you than me! (Although part of me rather hopes he gets impaled on an umbrella. Or something equally unpleasant.)
SwordStitcher-I actually had no idea that the Piper was a Batman character. I just plucked out a vaguely fairy-tale name, applied DC's apparent fondness for evil, bespectacled gingers, and BAM. The more you know...Jervis does creep me out, actually. Far more than Scarecrow. Hey! Sorry. What do I have to do, dismember a three year-old? Well... The things I do for terror...
APieceOfThePuzzle-Edward has fangirls solely because of the Fourth Wall. Which, now that I think on it, is the only reason most Rogues have fangirls. And because you are all, apparently, insane. Insanity is the new sexy. I wonder what Batman would say to that. That I need help. You do. Lie down on the couch and tell me about your problems. NOT FROM YOU. Oh, no? NO.
"Who's that?"
"Who's who?"
"The waddling man outside."
"What waddling man?"
"Get up and look."
Jonathan Crane dragged himself out of his chair and shuffled over to the window. Sure enough, a man dressed in black was, for lack of a better word, waddling across the grounds.
"He looks like a penguin."
"Be nice."
"It's true."
"I know. He's not one of the patients, is he?"
"I don't think so."
The man made his way to the door of the asylum and Jonathan dismissed him. Probably here to see one of the patients.
Five minutes later, his secretary reported that an Oswald Cobblepot would like to see him.
THE END
