PHASE 1: Infiltration

At 10:00 A.M., Clayface entered the Gotham Museum of History disguised as a guard. In his "pants pocket" was a bug, courtesy of the Riddler. Within 30 minutes, the bug was transmitting data on guard patrols and security measures back to the hideout.

PHASE 2: Waiting

Around 6:00 P.M, the assorted criminals took a dinner break. The heist was to be pulled off in about 5 hours, so all that they could do was wait.

"I don't trust this Pagilacci dame." Scarface piped up.

"She's smarter than you, dummy!" Two-Face snarled.

Two-Face's scarred side was hit by a flying tomato.

"Mr. Scarface, you shouldn't be throwing food-" The Ventriloquist sputtered.

"Zip it!" Scarface responded.

Soon enough, a brawl broke out. Dishes, utensils, and Clayface were thrown all over the room. The racket was enough to disturb Pagilacci.

"BASTA!" Pagilacci shouted.

The brawl ended.

PHASE 3: The Heist

At 11:00 P.M, the heist began. First things first- Clayface had to break in, open up an entrance, and then the heist would move on. The band was currently in a utility tunnel beneath the museum.

"Get in the tubo, Clayface." Pagliacci ordered.

Clayface entered the utility pipe, slowly snaking his way into the museum. About 90 minutes later, he was inside the museum proper.

"Clayface to Pagliacci. I'm inside the museum." Clayface radioed.

"What are you waiting for! Disable all the security measures!" Pagliacci responded.

Just then, a guard approached Clayface's position. To make sure the heist worked as planned, Clayface shapeshifted into another guard.

"Mac?" The approaching guard asked the disguised Clayface.

"Yes." Clayface answered.

"Since when do you work nights?" The first guard asked.

"Just started." Clayface answered.

Clayface then knocked out the guard and tossed him into a broom closet. Next stop: Security Office.

In the Security Office, Clayface went straight to work in disabling the laser tripwires, cameras, microphones, and motion detectors. Pleased with a job well done, Clayface went to let in his companions. End of Step 1.

Pagliacci's next move was to open the Hall of Gems. The museum schematics revealed the the security doors were made reinforced steel. Solution: Break the door down.

SLAM! SLAM! SLAM! That was Killer Croc ramming into the security door over and over again.

"Keep going, Croc!" Two-Face shouted.

SLAM! SLAM! SLAM! THUD! That was Killer Croc breaking down the door.

THUD! That was Killer Croc falling to the floor.

"I don't to go to school, Mommy!" Killer Croc muttered.

"A prime example of a non-sequitur." Riddler commented.

"It was a big rock!" Killer Croc muttered again.

Two-Face and Ventriloquist grabbed Croc's arms and dragged him across the museum floor. End of Step 2.

Now, it was time for the heist of the century- the theft of King Victor's Bane (mistakenly labeled King Vincent's Bane) from the Gotham Museum of History. The security surrounding the diamond itself was on par with that of Fort Knox and Monte Carlo combined. Due to Clayface and Riddler's meddling, the security was mostly down. Pagliacci rubbed her hands with glee- soon, all of Gotham's criminal underworld would know her name.

Pagliacci raised her crossbow, loaded in a throwing knife, and shot the case surrounding the diamond. That solved the problem of getting past the case. Now, the problem was the CCTV camera overhead. A blast from Mr. Freeze's gun disabled the camera. 10 minutes later, the diamond was in Pagliacci's pocket.

"Bene! We have pulled off the heist of the decade!" Pagliacci exclaimed.

"Your celebration is a little premature, Pagliacci." A monotone voice announced.

Just then, Mr. Freeze kicked down the other door.

"It's Batman!" Two-Face exclaimed.

Batman jumped out from the shadows.

"It was relatively simple, Pagliacci. Out of all the Joker's associates, only you would be sane enough to plan out a heist of this magnitude." Batman told the scared woman.

"What's with Freeze?" Two-Face asked.

"There is an old adage- the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Mr. Freeze replied.

"Besides, what are you doing here?" Clayface addressed Batman.

"One of Two-Face's associates told me that you were going to steal King Victor's Bane." Batman answered.

"GET HIM!" Two-Face exclaimed.

Mr. Freeze took on Killer Croc and Clayface. A mighty punch sent both of them flying backwards across the room.

"Not so fast!" Two-Face exclaimed.

Two-Face produced a Tommy Gun. SLAM! Batman delivered a haymaker punch to the villain.

"Si muorte stanotte, pipistrello! Lo ti rompere!" Pagliacci exclaimed.

"No, I will break you!" Batman replied.

"How?" Pagliacci asked.

"I am vengeance. I am the night. I! AM! BATMAN!" was the reply.

"GET HIM!" Pagliacci yelled.

Mad Hatter and Scarface/Ventriloquist charged…only to be sent flying back when Batman countered.

"THIS IS THE GOTHAM CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT! WE'VE GOT YOU SURROUNDED!" A man yelled.

"It is all over, Pagliacci." Mr. Freeze monotoned.

"Good morning, Gotham. I'm Summer Gleason, and here's what's happening. The GCPD apprehended some of Gotham's worst criminals at the Ezekiel Kane Institute Museum of History, Natural and Human, better known as the Gotham Museum. According to Commissioner James Gordon, they were planning to steal the diamond known as King Victor's Bane. Surprisingly-"

Batman turned off the monitor.

Meanwhile, at Arkham Asylum, Pagliacci was being transported to Intensive Treatment with a police escort.

"Porco! Non si può mai mi tenere!" Pagliacci shouted.

"Shut up!" Harvey Bullock replied.

"Ingrassare bastardo!" Pagliacci yelled.

"Montoya, deal with this one." Bullock ordered.

"Cagna!" Pagliacci yelled at Officer Montoya.
