the Joker Batman he's gone what a dis agent he told a joke Oh God Batman he told a joke damn no matches on the fiber trace massive boosts he must have known he be back sometime yes I know he stayed away so long this time I imagine I allowed some part of myself to become hopeful we'd seen the last ship but I suppose a fat pack of vials you have there there's evidence of anything it's it's evidence that I've stopped him before Alfred and then I'll stop him again of course you will forgive me sir it's simply that when it comes to him I suppose I give myself and you more license to hope and fear fear come on pennyworth maybe Joker used to be some great adversary of my father's but he's over now I mean he allowed some second-rate dr. Frankenstein to get the better of him and cut off his face then he slunk off for a year to lick his wounds come back and steal his old rotten face from the GCPD icebox so what don't underestimate him Damien whatever he was doing this past year he wasn't licking his wounds he allowed his face to be cut off he left there for us like a message a message meaning what right now I'm not sure Batman Nightwing calling it go ahead dick is it true back it seems so yes have you told that girl I thought she might rather hear it from the commissioner Robin so how'd he do it he's one of the GCPD zone pulse guns they Institute them a few months ago disabled cars in pursuit he removed it from a squad car amplifier it put it in the sewer under the department a named often used the police's own weapon against them it's almost funny the generator he blew it up from the inside hold on Batman it's Batgirl why didn't you say anything I thought the Commissioner would know about the commissioner why didn't you tell me that piece of trash came after him what do you have on him nothing so far he took his face and disappeared but in the years since he disappeared you have to have something all year I've had an eye out for any sign of him but there's been nothing so where the hell has he been and what does he have planned next master Bruce look it's local news sir Batman I'm hearing Gotham I'm seeing it trying to run facial voice recognition to be back what don't you recognize me it's me Joker I was the arms master boobs it's me Joker I was away for a while yes but now I'm back good I'm not

from afar mayor Haiti dies at midnight but not just because he's mayor don't think he's may or may not die he's a baby bird oh the voice recognition has come through so who is he John Claridge son of the late Henry Claridge at the diamond magnate Henry Claridge was also the first person the Joker ever murdered seems he's reenacting his old crimes for some reason Batman we can help you with this one no you're all doing crucial work of your own but Batman I'll handle it Commissioner Gordon has sent a battalion of police officers to protect mayor Haidee there's no way in everything is sealed up windows are bulletproof and walls are three feet thick Haidee feels safe but the police looked at each other terrified that damn clown has no way in Gordon you've tested enough my blood to drown a vampire and you filled me with enough of that vigilante antidote to turn me into a bat myself I understand all this mr. mayor I still want my men inside this room with you fine if it makes you feel better but keep them over on the other side of the room I just had these floors cleaned and I don't need your officers shoes scuffing them up got it I'm going to go check the elevators good evening Batman evening Jim I'm almost afraid to ask how long you've had eyes on the mayor's office so don't do you have anything his Bloods clean scienter normal waters clean bent you tighten security so no how are you holding up terrible but I imagine you see that what did he mean about the calling card was he talking about his face Batman I don't know okay I'm going back it doesn't show does it you

Deadshot Waller it's a military burial once your marine your always a marine even if you're a dirtbag well you've got to give the dirtbag credit didn't think he had the stones to do something like this don't confuse stupidity with bravery Captain Boomerang you can't even cut him a break when a Six Feet Under death does not excuse Boyd from his duty to the squad it would be one thing to be killed on a mission it's entirely different to kill yourself I'd be the last person to stand up for him Sheila but he got his target as far as we know that's all you wanted Floyd Lawton was a highly trained assassin who chose the easy way out of the situation that makes him weak in my book what's happening something in the raindrops me and everybody knocked out but me [Music] yes I did but I seem to be something on the face got it I think it was just small touch of hubris but it's gone now my my my Holly you have changed funny I was about to say the same about you and how I missed you really

Harleen Quinzel just good ol Harley and here I thought we didn't have any secrets from one another a girl always has a secret or two mr. J so why don't you hang out and tell me just the two of us we can finally have some quality time Harley Quinn loses consciousness when she awakes she is in a straitjacket above a bawling vat of acid wakey-wakey sleepyhead mr. J I was having a horrible nightmare you had that four year but when you came back you were different different yeah you one month so Molly what I am is finally fully realized and now you're about to join me this way we can be together for first order of business a chemical peel bon voyage don't forget to write you know I hate to go anywhere without you both wait no this isn't part of the plan I don't remember this position the Kama Sutra do you good seeing you I'll let myself out not so fast darling you haven't even said hello to the kids they miss their mommy I've helped them reach their full potential something I could never accomplish with you like me they are not free to be what they really are your animal instincts it's a beauty as you are about to find out pain is removed as is emotion you're able to be something more than what you were the bath we both took was only the mystic I see that now but when I removed my face I got rid of any trace of humanity I still held on all my weaknesses dripped away and all I wanted to do was share it with you well aren't you a peach there are a ton of things I hate about myself but my face isn't one of them so I think I'll keep that you say that like you have a choice I do good by them and by my special boy I'm sorry I'm going to kill you for this do I have to give this speech again you're not going to kill me let's test that theory out you know what they say there's a thin line between love and hate oh how I filled you my dear I take all the blame you never really changed did you Halloween the chemicals didn't change you like they did me they gave you an excuse I think they doth protest too much oh you bit my ear they were right tastes like chicken it seems I've lost my face huh now what part of I don't feel anything anymore aren't you getting you on the other hand feeling a little bit woozy the ear bite it was just a diversion it poisoned me you're just another disappointments in a long line of them I guess I'll just have to go back to the drawing board I'm going to lock you down here with all the others otherwise the other Harleys what you thought you are the first one I can tell you this you won't ever be the last meanwhile in the back now there's no heat signatures I've got to get back to the cave vodka there's my little guy I've been looking everywhere my god now mr. penny would stop me if you've heard this one [Music] alfrid there was nothing on Harley at the plant but I send you the images of the tire tracks outside there's Alfred Alfred are you here no master Bruce I'm sorry mr. genin apparently Joker's next target is James Gordon Bannon paste the Commissioner another visit Jim I'm sorry Batman come in what do you have last night Joker kidnapped Bruce Wayne's Butler he said he was planning something a celebration and he needed someone to help him serve Alfred Pennyworth seems no one's off limits this time not that anyone ever is I suppose no to what I hate the most about that lunatic with everyone else there's some sense of logic some motive that makes sense even the deep Arkham crew Riddler freeze if you're a good enough detective you can get some inkling of what their next move might be but with him all you can do is react see was that started as god help the man who can think like him that's why I'm here you were the next target there's no company called Gordon that has any connection to the recording industry I'm taking you to a bunker I keep Jim the hell you are only way I'm coming with you to some safe house is if you a tranquilizer Batman just come with me Jim no damn it no I'm not going to hide away while my men die on the front line don't do it don't take me out I need to face him even if it means opening old wounds the worst jim-jim hold on it'll be all right how is he Batman he's lost a lot of blood I gave him a coagulant to stop him from bleeding out in time but the thinner the Joker used as a derivative of heparin that's rough stuff luckily Jim's stable for now he should be alright I got your message Joker's after all this time a family affair so he said and Commissioner Gordon is the person who was Nightwing earlier today the Joker he took Bruce Wayne's Butler Alfred what do you mean he took Alfred boom where how seems that Joker lured him to the front door of Wayne Manor and abducted him there I've seen the security footage there's nothing to go on the van he used is unidentifiable and same with the hammer he hid pennyworth with hammer my god what are we going to do is penny worth will you stop with the coated talk please no one's here this is Alfred we're talking about God is this why he wanted to talk about it here in public so we'd have to talk in code so you wouldn't have to deal with you think this is easy for me dick that man raised me he's been a father to me for as long as I can remember and right now that's like a bat has it I asked you to meet here to save time every minute we lose every second Alfred is in greater danger you don't want to use code fine I don't give a damn about code it's just it's Alfred I know which is why I've made the decision not to tell the rest of the family yet what why the here Alfred is missing and they'll want to come out with Joker hard and they'll let their emotions get the better he'll go after him and he'll have the advantage because they will be in control you don't know that just let them in Bruce I can barely keep control of myself dick can't take the risk that's can you keep it to yourself for now I'm asking you to help me protect them Bruce is there something you're not telling me I know where he's going to be next Joker why didn't you say so let's go no I'm going alone like hell you are if you think I need you to go to the aqueduct dick he's re-enacting his crimes picking and choosing from our early encounters and redoing them but in new ways inverting them you think he's going to poison the reservoir I don't know but I need you at the pipeline how do you know he'll be at the reservoir because I know call me when you're in place hello darling where's pennyworth what no hug hello no how you been not even a Batarang to the head you're holding a remote I make a move and you start pumping poison it to the reservoir isn't that how it went last time oh you remember that is how we did it last time it's such a shame you can remember that but never remember to send a Christmas card year after year what's this about Joker all of this see that's the thing it's always business with us lately so this time I took care of all that early so we can relax and have ourselves a nice chat face-to-face took care of what why the business we would have had here of course what are you talking about see in a moment you get the call you're waiting for and you'd make your decision you decide to throw that battering from behind your back just like last time and Wham I get hit but being fast I'd pushed my remote and poisoned the water and you'd call your little friend the one who used to be Robin Nightwing isn't it I'm arriving at the aqueduct and he'd blow up the aqueduct and then we'd fight and you'd save the city but I get a few people again funny you know they tore down the housing projects last time and put in condos for the young and uppity seeing as they're the ones I'd like Lee gets I'd already went ahead and got them look see it's all done the water is poisoned the aqueduct is blown the people are dead now we can talk you sick maniac now that's I said I came here to talk see now we can chat old friend you're nothing to me but don't do that don't pretend not here not to me find your faithful courts gesture and my job is often to entertain but I also have a much deeper job to deliver bad news to the king and boy do I have some news for you tonight so let's cue the music and the lights I'm going to say it clearly and loudly so the bad family can hear it too are you listening little kids good because I know who you are all of you Batman and company beneath your little mask names addresses hell I know what kind of soap you used and now I know why Nightwing always smells so good I was just toying with Gordon but you all I'm coming for you one by one because you're the true villains you're lying Oh am i I guess we'll see won't we but I'll tell you this bats and birds within 72 hours you all be dead you're nothing but degenerate he'll get angry get listen to me Bullock get your man out of here now the Malone is between you and me no um a little help you boys now that's what I call a what it's over Joker tell me where pennyworth is and I'll only hurt you a lot hug me but bats after everything I've done for you this past shut up where is Alfred Pennyworth now he's away following part of a special celebration for me you and your little family you'll thank me when you see it bats you might even kiss my hand just like I kissed yours my lord dachshund oh yes my kiss captivates you stops you in your tracks besides there's no way I'd let you ruin the celebration not after all the blood and tears shed to make it happen shed by others of course but that's beside the point here's your invite fathers we have company we need to talk all of us the Joker what happened to him he got away in the confusion and the toxin and the water we neutralized it that has lingering effect I'm fine I need to get back out there I have a leave no Bruce We Need to Talk we need answers is more like it who invited you Todd I did we all need to be here Damian you have to tell us Bruce once and for all is what Joker said true does he know who we are no he doesn't how do you explain out for this kidnapping how could you not tell us because I was afraid because I believe did you let your emotions get the better of you and by doing so you give him the upper hand let me get this straight telling us he took Alfred meaning he knows who we are wouldn't help us understand what we're up against yes because he doesn't know he took Alfred because of Bruce Wayne's connection to Batman incorporated the Joker needed someone to help him prepare a celebration Feuer joker Alfred would be your first choice that's what you said at the hospital Bruce but there's been more evidence since then come on Bruce what aren't you telling us damn it you're not understanding how he thinks then explain it I saw the footage from GCPD what did he mean you have his calling card and what's this secret he was talking about the one you're keeping from us what is he getting at Bruce go on no father it was a long time ago soon after I became Batman before all of you and not long after my first battle with him at the reservoir used a blimp and tried to guess the city I knocked him into the bay and I used the bat boat to drag the gas cell out into the water before it infected anyone I rushed back to look for him but there was nothing I was just beginning to understand understand what that he was different Tim that he was about something else willing to do anything to make his point what point he's chaos Bruce what else set up go on Bruce after searching the bay I took the boat back to the cave through an entrance I've since closed off after surfacing I went to the manor and slept or at least tried I came down a couple hours later and when I got to the cave I found something found what father his card the same card that I have a replica of here in the case I tested it in every way possible no homing devices or toxins just a simple playing card whoa whoa you're saying that Joker might have gotten into the cave that he might have been lurking around in here no you must have attached the card to the boat after falling from the blimp using a water-soluble adhesive that washed away that's just a theory and if he did make it in he didn't I'm just explaining what he was referring to but if he did he'd know you're Bruce Wayne and if you figured that out it would be easy enough by association overtime to figure out who all of us are how could you have kept this from us he didn't get into the cave Barbara I'm sure all years Bruce why because it would have been impossible Jason the bat would have picked up the extra weight and if he did manage to evade the center he'd still have to make it through the tunnels we need to have to hang on for about five miles at nearly 50 miles an hour if you manage to do that then there'd be traces of him evident from the sensors there's no record I'm telling you there's no chance none that he made it in here no offense Bruce but the Joker's been pulling the impossible left and right I asked if there was something you weren't telling me and you said no because there wasn't damn it Joker did not get in here the closest he could have gotten is the cave juncture miles from here which is still in the cave system yes and there are hundreds of homes the tunnels could lead to from that point unless he made it past the dive didn't he doesn't know who we are and he doesn't care he's playing us against each other this conversation is exactly what he wants well looks like you're doing a lot of his work for him Bruce you kept secrets from us not from him you should have told us about the card if he knew if he knew I was Barbara than the time he came to my father's house Barbara don't who's after your father and not you you know that look all of you up to now he's only come out to you tangentially but now he's going to come after he could you head on and when he does he will go for everything you love everyone you care about and destroy it please understand I'm trying to protect you by doing this myself stay away and stay safe if you have to leave Gotham you trained us to be heroes Bruce let us in on the plan let us help you take him down no not with him you can't protect us father we want to fight with you what should you have us do stay here in the cave when I get safe its secure tell that to Alfred Jason I believe to follow but Bruce we have to stop talking everyone went their separate ways and left the cave Batman went to go investigate his lead Nightwing went back to building an amusement park hosted by Halley's circus Red Hood went back to his apartment Red Robin went elects towers back go and back home soon it was only Robin left into cave they pointed their fingers at him play the blame game as if mistakes never happened on their watch selfish ingrates forgetting everything fathers done for them forgetting who the enemy really is even just for a moment I'm the one who took his side against the family I'm the only one who stood by him and what does he tell me again please sit this one out sure after everything we've been through I did it he's my father and he wants to protect me from the big bad Joker but if anybody needs protection it's the wing Reds and girls we have to find Alfred in the first place to start is a scene of the abduction looks like there's no tire treads or physical evidence no fingerprints hairs or even shoes with discernible soles the Joker is a twisted freak not a ghost he had to leave something behind looks like he was sloppy though he left a urine sample one that matches a hyena and there's only one place they keep those I hate the zoo no wonder we don't remember anything about it because it's not all cracked up to be pennyworth where is what the hyenas were having the butler for dinner I dreaded the first Robin so much but I'm happy to see you so much that I've turned my frown upside down repeated high note when you scream it's going to my ears dear boy and your shrill scream is going to be music to mine when I make you tell me where pennyworth is Jeeves feels so much more than just an English gray I can see it in your eyes that was all craze - find him - why you've grown accustomed to his face or what I imagine is left of it I'm going to break a solemn promise for that I'm going to use you will be whole your talk of healing me is making me crazy that's way down on the list of things to do when there's so much more important stuff to chat about I've got nothing to say to help you manipulate me clown clown clown that's always been the misconception I mean have I ever made you laugh without a little help or a pharmaceutical push I don't think so with the bats yes I hate them laughs just once we laughed and laughed at the merry-go-round squealed and the painted horses glared at us good time if your idea of good times paralyzing an innocent girl why do you insist on going negative when I'm in a glasses have full state of mind and I'm in a glass smashing your disgusting face state of mind so different from the others I like that I'm here to bring illumination to your life a little clarity cyclists don't have much use for clarity look at that boy what is that my shadows no no no its darkness it's like the Eclipse the other day don't you see the bad at the Sun fiery star you and the others are the moon looking his lights he can shine on me and me on him if you're all in the way I was ray you know it's true you believe it just as much as I do I bet you think you're taunting to his Lone Ranger Watson to Holmes you don't know what the hell you're talking about and who the hell are Tom telling the Lone Ranger look at me still bad managed such a horrible you must be hungry only the best little beetles drugs earthworms fruits berries caterpillars and grasshoppers from the good old US of A you think the mated bastard heat up plenty of iron of protein for Robin just out of the less-than yearning to fly what I always found funny is that Robin's are most active in the day and Beth of course at nights so it always seems you're punished it was doomed from the start in such a simple way didn't it don't worry about answering if your mouth is full I can see your silhouette against the skyline bouncing around like the dynamic duo you are and I'm sure a young boy of your tender age has only one truth here if you actually knew anything about me Joker you know I'm not afraid of anything especially you you silly dilly you're not following the bouncing ball here I know all there is to know it's as simple as a smile on my face Robin's greatest fear is being responsible for Batman's death and Batman's greatest fear is being responsible for Robins death would be ashamed to have your father figures blood on your hands in fact it's going to be ashamed you have to beat Batman Batman it's me Robin Batman the Joker's got you under his control thank back push through it Molly I'll shoot here Robbie life and death the only way you escape is to kill Batman Batman you don't know what you're doing we're at the Gotham Zoo it's one of his sick traps I'm not going to fight you it's what he wants girls you better hold on to your boyfriend's this new serum concoction of mine has some surprises like allowing for suggestion so I was thinking we pare it down to two simple words goo Robin you once

truly you almost have the power we got nothing another one make sure you ain't though I don't need to throw a damn thing the police will be here any minute until then I'm just going to stand by and enjoy the view what the hell is happening Joker what's happening is the bad just one you do I don't think so look to your left the magic mirrors on the wall yes yes old friend I'm afraid you blew it if only you kept them close but you never do do you know you send them off you shut them out you dinkle all your kitties like bait well well nicely played huh and that's the point bats the proclamation I made you be as fast and smart as you want but as long as they live and you keep up this boss you'll always lose now that leaves you with only one thing left to do and that is to accept your true role to embrace it and in doing so to take your rightful place on your throne an electric chair Joker that's right sit down my king not bad clown and now I'm so glad I came where are they what have you done to them sit down in you'll find out why chill destiny and you'll never find a single trace of any of them ever you'll grow old wondering what happened to them what I did to each one now sits your cute ass down I find that highly improbable dent I didn't care about the probabilities I just want to get out of here before the police survive couldn't agree more penguin so let's make it a bit more absolute heads we shoot Batman in the cow tails we shoot him in the garden oh you know that's not how this works that's not how this game is played fine then I'll play where do we go next Joker go back to the streets my faithful koteas go back to your cells you played your parts beautifully but now it's over this next bit is a private affair can't cut us out Joker you brought us in we're here till the end so I'll ask again where are we going well when you put it that way I guess you're going nowhere Joker I don't belong in this madhouse Riddler find us a way out now and there's $20,000 in it for you cash gold digital name your coven see Wow Edward whoops guess I hit some teeny-tiny drinks in that lovely green jacket I bought him just to buy myself a little time but anyways the king and I have to get moving we've got dinner reservations with the whole family can't be late for that I wouldn't want to make a bad impression no you're not going anywhere I'm sick of your act clown you don't have any special claim to him we've all been at this for years open these damn bars and we'll follow as long as the bat dies we'll do anything you want we have the right to see this through all right I'm cracking up all over do you realize how pathetic you sound you know why I chose you lady to judge it's because you're nothing copy all it took less it to your face and everything you stood for got thrown out the window and it turns out you were just waiting for the chance to pretend to be one of the cases you used to lock going shut up Joker the kind of justice that's meaningless whether one side of the coin is just as good as here where there's no difference between right or wrong shut up so go ahead glue that sugar but remember one I gave you medicine I gave you that gun you know I already booby-trapped already can you be sure that I didn't see this coming maybe I swapped it with a gun that shoots backwards maybe I'll just give you a big heart stopping shock or maybe just maybe that'll shoot a bullet right through my head you can shoot them all if you once pretend you how to change apart and become one of the good guys again what do you think lot of options there hope your little coin has enough sides to cover them all damn are you two finished I know this sounds ridiculous but you have to listen to reason Joker let me out of here I could give you millions I could give it to you tonight what would I do with all that money no no I think I'll keep things according to plan but how about this for your trouble a little piece of things to come oh you have got to be joking do I it's in the name I suppose but that's the whole thing with a joke you have to play with people's expectations anyway it's time for dinner Batman awakens in a pitch-black room and out of the darkness a skeleton of a bat is inching forward the first time was frightening wasn't it where am I look look here it comes Joker yes joke is here with you in the dark we're watching it come for you as I'm sure it did the first time oh it wants you it wants you bad Joker listen know there is no reasoning with it it was the same for me when I saw it coming when I saw you coming no reasoning stop this now and so you called out there in the dog even though you knew you were seeing it you'll face the real bone and tooth face beneath it all Joker who knew it in your soul but still you called out to someone anyone to pull you up from the darkness and into the lights my god Joker reveals their setting for the Royal feast to Batman around a long table are all of the other members of the bat family in one hand joker holds the deformed lion cub that had been born with two heads his smile is terrifying tada dinner is served oh and don't worry old friends they're all fine and dandy just bound and gagged silent listeners at the table I've kept them entertained though I've been talking to them for hours telling them what do you really think of their ears are burning oh and about six seconds I'll be free Joker and I'm going to break every bone and you're not so fast bats I wouldn't get up if I were you after all do you smell something gasoline that's right they've been anointed and they await your judgement there are Flint's beneath your throne and under your table sire so at any time during our meal should your true feelings get the better of you should you tire their company all you need to do is stand leave the table and they will burn now though it's time to eat to finally lift the lid of this family dish earlier you asked about cheese mr. penny wood where is he oh he's around and ready for service Alfred my god mr. penny now that we're all here will you do the honors of opening our guests eyes to the feast before them Alfred listen to me no listen to me Alfie old boy go on now it's time time for the first course Joker what have you done why the bandages what is I done I've simply dressed them for the party mr. pennyworth would you serve us please I so hope you like it everyone I made it with lots of love how could you their faces how it was easy bats just slice pull chill and serve they come off so easily - there's nothing beneath these pretty things after all they're not like you and me not underneath the skin beneath their faces is just soft tender stuff you could poke your finger through I ate nothing on this earth more than you Joker nothing I beg to differ if that's so then why pray tell do you keep the game of foots oh great detective why have you never exposed me who I really am or was before my coming there's never been any DNA to link you to never mind that's let's just cut through the heart of it shall we why have you never killed me because you'd win I love that one no see this is how I win Batman I win by living by keeping on keepin on what you said is what you tell yourself and then because you don't want to admit the truth the whole slippery slope excuse am i right if you kill me what's to stop you from killing everyone else let me call your bluff once and for all and show my hands let me tell them the real reason you don't end it the one you don't want to admit it in front of the kiddies why he lets me creeping over and over to get you you you again you and you it's what you want to happen it's what you need we help you transcend they make you everything you want to forget that you are now

him you okay Barbara I think so but look it's the deformed lion cub there's something wrong with it you think I'm not being sarcastic I mean there's something in it is everyone okay I said is everyone okay as the members of the extended bat family fight each other in hysterics the darknet tracks down his greatest nemesis yeah hat go in rude blowing out the candles wrecking the whole shut up no more talk I see [Music] no more dances than just a quarrel no more quarrel what what do you mean I mean no more of any of it not this time oh but yes rats this time - I made sure you'll get what you really want right now your precious family is tearing itself apart i gassed them a new concoction which is particularly potent so I would turn back and help before there's nothing left nothing but scraps for penny worth - so you're really going to just let them die sure you are no but I have faith in the well you should they're not your family that hill they're making you they make me stronger liar you know they don't make you anything maybe I was wrong maybe your true faith has changed let's see not that way Joker not by accident everything that happens to you tonight happens by my hand because I've been thinking about what you said back there old friend about why I don't finally just do it so how about it how about tonight I go farther than I have ever gone tonight I stop the game once and for all after all he'll never survive the trouble from you go ahead I did you'd never I'll do you one better because I did it Joker I broke the spell I did what you wouldn't do right here is where you turn back isn't right of this truck where the boat dives not because you couldn't hold on but because you wouldn't want to know let's see me I'm not like you Joker and this year while you were away I finally deduced it who you were before trying to play my own joke on me are you your name you're history all of it I know Joe you really are under there you want they're not you happy we are high well this is the end of that family because I choose them now come a little closer old friend so I can whisper it right in your ears this isn't what you want you know it's high notes and they they'll

cowl and prepares to deal with the aftermath of Joker's madness what's in the heaven's name is that fireballs in the sky you've got good timing Alfred the rain finally stopped a few minutes ago how are you feeling well like hell honestly but I'll be all right soon how are they recovered physically it's strange though there's a tracer radioactive isotope ik material and the toxin they used on you
