Batman:dark Joker

Darkness...everywhere.....filling the alleys,the rooftops,the streets with gloom and despair...it was quiet tonight, but this is gotham and evil never rests, on top of wayne tower,the cities every present guardian stood watching over the city...waiting,there...an alarm..time to go to work.
He jumped off of the tower gliding to the cracked and broken streets beneath landed next to a what looked like a huge black tank,a door rose open as he slid in and the door closed just as the batmobile shot off towards the alarm on the upper side of town-a break out at arkham.....or a break in..it would't be the first time.
He sped past city hall,gaining speed with every second..damn it not fast enough,he knew what kind of manics were held within arkham and he knew how quick this situation could spin beyond all control.
Nearly there....better activate the weapons systems he'd learned the hard way in the past that it pays to be prepared, he hit the brakes..hard, the batmobile responded instantly with engineered ease, batman jumped out and activated the security on the batmobile, as he walked up to the gates of arkham he noticed the lights where all off and there were no signs of a break in....what was that?..he heard something..a sound he had grown over the years to dread..that insane laugh..the joker...batman easliy scaled the wall and approched arkhams doors..they swung open easily to his touch.
He walked into the dark corridor and there they were..joker and his newest group of lackeys-killer croc,grundy,scare crow and his ever constant compainion harley quinn.
"AHHHHH,batsy old boy,we've been waiting for yooooooou,i got you a gift.CATCH!" laughed joker as he tossed a small grenade at batman which he easily kicked and sent flying back into grundy..it exploded..grundy did't seem to even notice.
Killer croc ran forward at batman hissing madly batman removed a small dart gun from his belt and shot croc sqaurely in the head,as the chemicals sunk into him, he fell to his kness,asleep.
"it's so hard to find good help theses days grundy,crow,quinn get him!"the joker shouted obviously getting annoyed.
Batman pulled a small microphone from his belt.
"attack manouvere 376..now" mutter batman into the mike as he he juumped up towards the ceiling clinging to a pipe on the wall as the batmobile came crashing through the wall and drove straight into grundy who was sent flying backwards,tearing through several walls before coming to a stop..grundy was unconscious, it seemed harley and crow had been buried by some falling debris, after making sure they were still breathing, batman began to give chase to the joker who had run off while batman was in the ceiling.
"ohhhhhh someone help!theres a strange man chasing me!"screamed the joker in mock terror as he turn the corner ahead of batman.
As batman turned the corner there was joker grinning that same stupid grin,in his hand was another one of his huge revolvers and it was point at batmans face.
"well this is a sticky wicket ain't it my winged friend?" joker asked as he smoothed down his hair with one hand and began laughing again.
Batman grabbed the gun in the blink of an eye-breaking the jokers hand in the process and lifted the joker into the air by his collar.
"it's over joker"batman snarled
"tut tut tut,silly you forgot her!"joker shrieked as he pointed excitdly at harley who was clutching a huge hammer which she promptly brought down on batmans head,knocking him out cold.
"sorry about the delay mistah j!i was kinda napping" she explained in her usual high pitched voice giving joker a thumbs up as she lifted him to his feet.
"yes yes,lets blow this candy stand...ohhhh i have a little idea, pass me that little toy of yours honey" joker ordered
As harley handed him the huge hammer,he quickyl swung it round and smashed it into her head sending blood everywhere.
"sorry honey, i think we just need to go our seperate ways and now on to the bat"joker exclaimed triumphantly as he steadied the hammer above his head and prepared to bring it down as batman rolled to the side jumped up and delievered a swift uppercut to the jokers chin which sent him sprawling backwards, his head hit the opposite wall with a crunch as the joker was knocked out,batman tied him up and alerted the authorities and waited as they arriveded and took the crimnals away one by one.
"thanks batman but i can't help feeling that we've lost somehow today" commissioner gordon sighed as the last of the armoured transports drove off.
"how so?"asked batman confused.
"it's the damn feds, those dirty snakes have declared that joker is too dangerous to be left alive so the president has given special permission for him to be handed the death penalty without trial" gordon explained grimly.
"WHAT?the jokers a madman thats for certain,but i don't hunt him down just to hand him over to his death,i'm not the governments bounty hunter,i did't capture him so they can hand him vengence,i wanted justice...you can't let this happen" batman growled.
"it's out of my hands...i'm sorry...."gordon replied as he walked over to his car and drove off.
Batman stood there as it began to rain and wondered why he cared so much...becasue i'm not a killer.......and whether i like it or not i'm responsible for this...... batman stood there and questioned the very reason he kept fighting..........................................................

RA, I am sorry that, I did not get to this like you asked but, I have read it now and I like it so far. The usual grammar and spelling errors are there but, That is fine. I am not perfect either. I was able to follow it with no problem. Your detail is getting better too. You might slow down just a bit though and read it back to yourself. If it does not seem to flow, Then just relax and try to reconnect some of your sentences. I do find it a bit hard to voice my opinion even if you asked because, I don't share my stories with anyone but, I hope this helps you a bit and it is good hon. Keep it up.

Bruce stood motionless in his study,staring blankly outside as the rain poured down outside,in the dimly lit oak style study,bruce was deep in thought..wondering.
I've saved so many lives...saved the city countless times and stopped inumerable crimnals and mad men from destroying gotham...but why...why keep fighting...what was he fighting for..how much more would he have to give..when would this end..how would this end...
"Master wayne,what seems to be the matter?"alfred questioned concerned,bruce loved alfred like a father,he had always been there for him,through it all..good old alfred,but bruce was increasingly concerned for his friends ailing health.
"no alfred,i'm fine,listen i'm not going to need anything futher tonight,go get some rest..i'll see you in the morning"bruce replied as he moved to sit on the huge leather chair in the middle of the room.
Alfred sighed.
"fine sir,but keep in mind no man is an island,i'm always here if you need me"alfred said as he strolled out of the study.
As soon as alfred was gone bruce jumped out of the chair and activated the hidden doorway to the batcave and walked down the long and winding metal staircase.
When he came to the bottom he surveyed the batcave,the batmobile,the batsuit,the batwing,the robo bat armour and various other instruments of destruction he had relived various criminals of over the years.
Then he walked past it all and went up to the huge glass display case that housed the costumes that he and various other crime fighters had used over the years..so many meomories...so many deaths..so much sacrifice.....why...why godamnit.WHY???
Bruce punched the glass,his fist tearing right through it,he grabbed the mask of his first ever batsuit and pulled it out,it was covered in blood.
And he stared into the mask............at the darkness inside....it was time to go to work.......................but he would need help this time...

A tall man in a striped black and white suit was standing in a dark,dank alley way,in one hand he held a long cigar and in the other he was rolling a small silver dollar across his knukles,his face was truly a sight to behold,one half of it was perfect,handsome and youthful,not a wrinkle in sight however this perfection was matched only by the complete horror of the opposite side of the face,it was dark purple as if the flesh had been seared off and his mouth was nothing more than a twisted gap and his hair was perfectly combed and slicked back on one side and long and course on the other,this was the average look for the psychotic crimelord Twoface.
He turned to face the street as a long black limo pulled up beside him as the window nearest him came down a notch.
"mr twoface,mr ghul is most pleased with you're efforts,please get in,mr ghul is waiting" a short man in a business suit said as the dorr swung open and twoface slid in,his eyes immediatly opened wide in shock as the man in the suit pulled a small gun from his pocket and pointed it as two faces's chest.
"goodbye mr twoface" the man said as he shot twoface 5 times in the chest.,he then turned to the driver and nodded,the door swung shut and the car sped off into the night.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Batman was standin on the roof of the newly built stone within research centre,he was beggining to have doubts about saving the joker,he was torn between his oath to never kill and his need to hunt down and stop evil,he knew for certain if he rescued the joker,he would only brake out yet again and wreak havoc on gotham,but it was too late to go back now.
Behind batman,a short hunched figure came out of the shadows and leaped over batman's head and landed in front of him.
"who are you?were's creeper?"batman asked suspicous.
"calm down buddy,chill,creeper sent me,he's tied up in a previous engagment,you know how it is,anyhow i'm here call me jack." the hunchback replied in a light and breezy tone of voice.
Batman looked disdainfully at the hunchback,he had long green hair and black bushy eyebrows and he had huge feet.
"jack?"batman asked somewhat put out.
"it's coz of my feet see,i can jump real high,the full names spring heeled jack but,that can drag on a bit,so just call me jack,ok good buddy?" jack said as he flipped backwards and landed a couple of feet away from batman and then bounded high into the air and landed almost on top of batman.
Batman grabbed him and hefted him up into the air.
"stop the aerobatics you little hobgoblin before i get mad,now i take it creeper already brang you upto speed on what i'm doing,so you think oyu can help?"batman growled.
"sure sure,but come on,enough of the rough treatment,we're on the same team here buddy"jack half joked half wimpered.
Batman dropped him to his feet and ran towards the edge of the roof.
"well hurry up and get moving,oh and try to keep up" batman sneered as e jumped off the roof and landed on top of the batmobile as the door slid open and he jumped in.
"ohhhhhh nice toy,mind if i grab a seat" jack laughed as he jumped on to the roof of the car and sat down as it shot off down the street.

Joker was being led down a drab corridor by ten tall and musle bound prison guards who were all wearing body armour and armed with tasers.
"i'm innocent i tell ya,INNOCENT,i never did nothing,you've got nothing on me,NOTHING!"screamed the joker as the guards dragged him down the corridor.
They turned a corner and led joker into a big room with a chair in the middle of it and they was a huge glass screen,behind it were the familes of vitims of the jokers crimes,commissioner gordon was at the front of the audience.
Gordon was infuriated that the Feds had taken this course of action,part of him was glad that the joker would be gone once and for all,but Gordon has learnt that revenge and death only led to more pain.
The guards forced joker down into the chair and strapped him down.
One of the guards began to wet a sponge and stuck it onto the jokers head and tied down the head piece.
"Do you have any last words?" asked one of the guards his face was a piture of grimness.
Joker looked over the faces of the victims families,then he looked up to the face of the guard.
"You fellows need to cheer up,smiles folks,smiles,big grins,after all if you gotta go,GO WITH A GRIN!" laughed the joker as he shook with laughter.
The guard sneered.
"roll on two" he signaled to the other guard as he prepared to pull the switch that would send hundreds of thousands of volts coursing through jokers body,frying him.
Suddenly one of the people sitting in the audience jumped up and smashed though the screen seperating the joker from the audience.
The man pulled of a mask to reveal it was none over than spring heeled jack.
"hey J man me and batsy are here to save you" jack annonced as batman came smashing through the ceiling,but it was too late,the guard pulled the switch,joker began to laugh maniacally as he body shook uncontrollably.
Batman and jack could only watch in horror as smoke began to pour off joker,then with a final vicious spasm,the last bit of life faded from the jokers eyes as his body gave out.
Dead.
"MEN!BATMAN IS HOSTILE!! FIRE AT WILL!" yelled the captain of the guards to his men.
Batman was shocked,he could't believe that the joker was actually dead.
"bats,snap out of it"shouted jack,who was extremely worried about the amount of guards that were pulling out guns.
Batman pulled his grappling gun from his belt and shot it upward,grabbed jack as he went flying up towars the ceiling and jumped out of the hole in the ceiling he had come crashing through.
As he and jacked raced away in the batmobile,batman was torn.
No....i failed....... that thought kept playing itself through his head over and over and over each time inprinting it's self deeper and deeper into his mind.
____________________________________________________________
24 hours later.
It was the middle of the night,it was still pouring down with rain,batman was kneeling in front of a freshly dug grave,deep in thought.
Why has this effected me so much?....i need to clear my head....gotta find some answers. he resolved as he got up and walked off back towards the batmobile,as he drove off,the sky rumbled as thunder growled followed by a flash of lightening.
The soil on the grave began to shake....the thunder got louder...the lightening got brighter and brighter...the rain became harder and harder,then a white hand shot out of the soil.
barely audible from underneath the soil,a high pitched voice came from the grave.
"jokers back in town kiddies...and he's got a whole new bag of tricks!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Hmm,anyone got any comments on the newest chapter?

I like your story RA. From fanfic writer to fanfic writer a couple suggestions (got those from my beta-reader on another site):

1) Easier reading by breaking up long paragraphs and separating dialogs with a double spacing before and after the spoken sentences like this example:


I've saved so many lives...saved the city countless times and stopped inumerable crimnals and mad men from destroying gotham...but why...why keep fighting...what was he fighting for..how much more would he have to give..when would this end..how would this end...

"Master Wayne,what seems to be the matter?" Alfred questioned concerned.

Bruce loved alfred like a father ; he had always been there for him,through it all..good old Alfred, but Bruce was increasingly concerned for his friends ailing health.

"No Alfred, i'm fine, listen i'm not going to need anything futher tonight,go get some rest..i'll see you in the morning" bruce replied as he moved to sit on the huge leather chair in the middle of the room.

Alfred sighed.

"Fine sir, but keep in mind no man is an island, i'm always here if you need me" Alfred said as he strolled out of the study.


... and so on.

2. Spelling...

3. Settings. The more you describe the environment, sometimes through the eyes of one of your characters, the more alive it will become for your readers.

I hope you don't mind that sort of feedback...

Thankz FOTH,i'm working on ze next chapter as we speak.

and where is the next chapter?

good things come to those who wait,here it is FOTH
_____________________________________________________
Bruce sat in front of the tv,he was numb inside,but he was still shocked by what he had just heard on the news.

"And in a surprise move a relatively unknown businessman known as ra's al ghul has bought wayne enterprises and now has total control of it,it is not yet known what bruce wayne plans to do,now back to mindy in the studio..." the newscasters voice trailed off.

Ra's al ghul.

Still alive?

Or just another trick?

Bruce got up and ran out of the room,almost running straight into alfred.

"sir,have you seen the news?" alfred asked

"yes alfred,i need you to search for all traces of ra's,see what you can dig up,i'm going to patrol." bruce replied.

"very good sir"
___________________________________________________________

Penguin sat at the head of a huge table in one of the towering skyscrapers that lined the sky of gotham.

He was waiting for a business associate,he wasn't sure who,but he had been assured that it was going to prove very profitable to him.

Suddenly the doors flew open and in strode the Joker,in his trade mark purple suit,penguin noticed the jokers eyes were glowing bright red. . .penguin wasn't scared of anyone. . .but joker was enough to give anyone the creeps.

"ahhh,i'm glad you've finally arrived,please have a seat." penguin welcomed every bit the gracious and hospitable host.

Joker sat down and glared at penguin,then he pulled a small revolver from his pocket and shot him directly in his forehead,covering the wall behind him in brains.

"Penguin went POP!" joker said to himself,still glaring at penguins corpse "what a fat fuck,CROC,get in here."

Killer croc came charging into the room snarling,he stopped and stood to attention next to the joker.

"croc,dispose of that body,then get that silmey stock broker finn in here,i wanna ,make a little purchase,daddy needs some new toys" he laughed.

"yes sir" croc growled as he ran over to penguins body and began to carry it out of the room.

"oh and croc,leave it somewhere our winged friend will find it"

"Mr. . err,joker, it's just you can't expect me too just. . . i mean.." the skinny looking accounted called finn was standing before joker,visably shaking at the jokers very presence.

"oh no my good man,i assure you,i have the funds for this,buy up gothcorp,lets give Ra's a run for his money! this city is mine!!!" joker laughed, spinning around in his seat at the head of the table,the wall still covered in penguins rancid brains. "whatta stink,hey finn?"

Finn's face turned green as he ran from the room as fast as he could,almost tripping over himself.

_______________________________________________________

"we have no idea who did it,but first twoface,now penguin and jokers dead,i's almost like someones trying to clear gotham of all it's crimelords" Gordon mused.
"yes and thats sure to leave a power vacuum,perfect for Ra's to make his move,don't you think?" batman replied staring intently at penguins corpse.

"yea,don't worry though,i've got him under surveilence,he so muchs as sneezes and we've got him." gordon said confidently.

"don't under estimate Ra's,he's more dangerous than you could imagine"

Batman turned and climbed back into the batmobile and sped off to penguin's business sky scraper,see what he could dig up.
___________________________________________________________

Alfred heard the door bell ringing madly,someone was really anxious to see mr wayne.

"yes,yes,i'm coming" he called down to the door.
He pulled it open and stumbled backwards in shock as he saw who was standing there.

"hello,is the detective in?" asked the tall,powerful criminal master mind known only as Ra's al ghul.

"you have no place here,leave!" alfred demanded.

"so he is not in?i see,well pass this onto him,i'm sure he'll be very interested" Ra's sneered as he handed alfred a big brown envelop "good day"
Ra's turned and walked off back towards his limo.

Alfred stared at the envelop in his hands and then ran to the phone.

"sir,i suggest you return as soon as possible"

Batman climbed through an open window on the side of penguin's skyscraper,he looked around the room and noted that one of the walls was covered in rotting brains,he could feel the smell filling his nostrils.

"now that I own gothcorp,I think it's time i make a few adjustments,Harley,get in here" joker shouted in the room opposite.

Joker?

Still alive????

This day just got worse.

Static blasted over batmans comlink.

"sir i suggest you get here as soon as possible"

Joker turned around and kicked the doors open and glared at batman.

"ahh a gatecrasher,i'm gonna splat me some bat!" joker shrieked as he span through the air and kicked batman sqaurely in the chest sending him reelling backwards onto the desk.

He grabbed batmans ankle and dragged him off the table,then hefted him into the air and pinned him against the wall and began to relentlessly pummel batman.

CRACK.

CRUNCH.

Batman could feel his ribs breaking one by one,he could't hold out my longer.
He ducked and delivered a devasting blow to the Joker's abdomen,it should of brought Joker to his knees but. . .

"Is that the best you got?" Joker mocked

Joker once again lifted batman high into the air.

"lets see if you can fly!" Joker laughed as he threw batman out of the window he had came through. "crazy kids"

Batman hit the floor with a sickening crunch.
________________________________________________

"Sir?SIR??" alfred shouted into the phone,he had heard the battle and feared the worst.

He stared at the phone for a second and redialed.

"Master grayson,Bruce needs you"

"Ubu,take care of our friend,the riddler,his usefulness to me has ended" Ra's commanded the giant of a man named Ubu.

"Yes,my master,it shall be done" said Ubu as he stomped out of the room.

Ra's looked over gotham city from the top of wayne towers,he laughed at the pathetic inhabitants of gotham going about their lives,unaware they were just pawns,pawns for people like him to manipulate and kill.

He rose from his seat and walked over to his bar and poured himself a drink

"With the new dawn,comes a new end" he said to himself.

Yay, thanks RA I like it :-D

The new presentation is way easier to read too and even if there are couple commas missing ;-) it's looking great now. Ooops pop goes the penguin (always hated that guy lol). One thing though... how can Joker break Batmans ribs just by boxing him? I thought that guy had body-armor?
And Ras al'Gul rocks!

Hurray someone is reading this!
Thanks FOTH,tis nice to be appreciated,the Joker has become much stronger since his ressurection thats how he broke batmans ribs,pure brute strength and now he's got a few other new tricks up his sleeves and Ra's does indeed rock.

Ha I like it! Hey is that the Joker like J. Nicholson did him? (Did you like Nicholson as Joker btw?) .. I thought he was truly evil and all ... but just a bit too short and fat and flabby lol. Can't help the way he looks lol. I just imagine him bigger... like in the comics...

This joker is a mix of joker from the old animated series and the new animated series,yeah,jack nicholson was great as the joker,although you're right,he did't quite have the perfect look,the joker is meant to be slightly taller than batman ans he's also almost as strong as him,but in the movie he was a wimp!
Plus one of the things i truely love about the joker are he's homcidal mood swings,he looks really evil when he gets mad,oh yeah and he's got that kool suit.

Nightwing laid bruce's beaten and battered body on to the bed.

"Alfred,he really needs to see a doctor,he's in terrible shape" Nightwing commented,hiding how much he was truly worried.

"yes,yes of course..."Alfreds voice trailing off he he fought back the tears welling up in his eyes.

Nightwing watched alfred turn and walk up the stairway.

Poor alfred,it can't be easy for him to see bruce like this.....I think i'll try my hand at taking the joker down,but i'll get some back up first.
___________________________________________________________

"Query,echo,get him" Riddler commanded his female sidekicks,the beautiful and dangerous,blond query and the brunette echo,they jumped up and similtaneously kicked Ubu in the head who merely grunted and snatched them both out of the air,one in each hand and smashed their heads on the wall,like china dolls.

Their skulls were cracked,Ubu dropped their limp and lifeless bodies to the floor and glared at the riddler who was cowering in the corner.

"Please....don't do this....i can pay you..PLEASE,NONONONONNON ARRRGH" Riddler screamed as Ubu snapped his fragile neck like a tooth pick.

"Done" Ubu stated simply as he surveyed his handiwork and turned to leave but found his way blocked by the vigilante Azrael.

"I don't think so" Azrael said as he punched Ubu in the head to no effect.

"You a great warrior?Ubu not think so" Ubu chuckled

"Second time lucky" Azrael retorted as he struck again this time cracking Ubu's battle mask in half and rendering him unconcious.

Nightwing landed behind Azrael silently,like a shadow.

"Hello my friend,we have not met in a while,what seems to be troubling you?" Azrael greeted without turning around.

"I need your help Azrael"

Yay! More please!

"So the Joker has become even more powerful?I find this intresting,if he his indeed as powerful as you say my friend,then you will indeed need my help,come" Azrael motioned to the roof "Lets go"

Azrael shot a gattling gun upon to the roof as did nightwing,they then began to jump from roof to roof.
Azrael laughed.

"Care to race" he smirked as he shot off even faster,becoming a blur.

"Damn showoff" nightwing frowned
___________________________________________________________

"Alfred....Alfred..." bruce groaned his mind groggy from the painkillers and the pain that was shooting through him.
Alfred ran over to the bed.

"sir,please,do not expend yourself,you were very nearly killed,you need rest"Alfred said worried.

For a second bruce looked as if he was going to argue but his exhaustion and pain overcame him and dragged him back to the darkness of his dreams.

"Very good sir" Alfred muttered as he walked off to prepare bruce's next dose of painkillers.
________________________________________________________

Commission gordon sat at his desk writing furiously.

"Damn reports,a cop should't have to go through all this crap,oh well" he grumbled to himself.

Suddenly the door of his office flew open and in walked. . . . .

"Hush" Gordon gasped as he fumbled to pull his gun from it's holster.

Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.

"Good day comissioner"

Azreal smashed through the window of the sky scraper,with Nightwing in tow and stood shocked as he saw Joker dancing on the other side of the room with Harley who was. . .

Dead.

"Oppps! Harley we have company,please dear,let. . . . go!" he shouted the last part as he threw the corpse at Azreal who easily dodged it.

"So boys,hows the bat?" joker began to laugh uncontrolably at this.

Nightwing could feel the anger boiling over inside him.

He ran toward the Joker who easily caught Nightwings fist and twisted it swiftly,breaking Nightwings arm,then he kicked his knee cap,smashing it completely.

Nightwing screamed in agony as Azreal came to his rescue aiming a kick directly at Jokers throat.

Again Joker easily dodged it,he grabbed Azreal and pinned him to the floor and jabbed him in the throat,killing him instantly.

Nightwings eyes opened wide with shock.

"You bastard" he cursed though clenched teeth,the pain of his injuries beginning to get to him.

"oh don't worry my friend,i've reserved a rare delight for you" Joker giggled to himself as he brought his foot down on Nightwing's spine,snapping it into fragments.

Nightwing almost found himself wishing that death would take him there and then,that he could be spared this pain.

Joker's face turned serious as he removed a glove from one of his hands and placed his palm on nightwings face.

"Your gonna love this one. . . . . . .

Alfred walked in to the room bruce was sleeping in and was startled to see bruce standing.

"Sir,please lay back down,you are not ready for this" Alfred said beginning to realise what bruce was going to do.

"Alfred,noone else can stop him except me,he's out theres terrorising this city and i've got to stop him,it's my responsibility Alfred,mine and mine alone" Bruce replied with self righteous anger.

"Very well sir,but may i first say . . ." Alfred was interrupted by the phone ringing.
He strolled out the room and answered it leaving bruce to ponder what he was going to do.

Suddenly Alfred came running back into the room.

"Sir,it's comissoner Gordon. . . .He's in hospital on the critical list,he's been shot" Alfred explained frantically.

Something inside bruce snapped,he was fed up of this,fed up of watching friends,family and loved ones die in front of him.

wasn't I meant to prevent this?aren't I responsible for every nut that climbed out of the woodwork and threatened gotham. . . .yes. . . .yes i ams,i started all this to stop the crime and the bloodshed,but it seems like i only added to it. . well it stops here. . . and now. Bruce thought to himself.

He looked Alfred dead in the eye.

"I've got to go".
________________________________________________________________

Lt.Harvey bullock true to form,was sitting in his office eating doughtnuts,relaxing,a rare treat these days with all the lunatices running around.

Suddenly a young officer burst into the room,almost shocking Bullock out of his seat.

"Sorry sir,but you've got to see this,now! the young officer shouted as he led Bullock out of the room and into the street where a group of paramedics were loading what looked to be a young male into an ambulance,Bullock noticed. . . .

"Thats Nightwing!what the hell happened to him?" Bullock asked somewhat thrown.

"Look at his face sir" the young officer said uneasily.

Bullock looked over the shoulder of the paramedic and instantly turned round and puked all over the street.

Nightwings face had been completely burned off,his skin was all birned off to reveal the muscle tissue and bones underneath,his face resembling that of the grim reaper,twisted into a freakish smile of grim death.

"My god. . . what kind of sick fuck would?. . . "Lt.bullock let the question hang as he realised what a long list of criminals the description "sick fuck" detailed.

"I did as you asked" hush said to Ra's who was sitting in his reclining chair,with a somewhat angry look on his face.

"Hush,why did you agree to work with me for free?" Ra's questioned

Hush was somewhat taken aback,he thought carefully before he answered.

"Because i want my revenge on the bat and you are my best bet of geting it" Hush replied simply.

Ra's's eyes narrrowed.

"My friend,let me tell you what i once told my brightest pupil,if someone stands in the way of true justice,you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart and i'm afriad you and I have very different goals." Ra's said as Hush sank to the floor,blood pouring out of him.

"It is time we take care of our clown friend i think"
______________________________________________________________

RA: Not enough detail! How did he burn his face off damnit? I have to know...

I shall edit it now!

You still have not edited! :-D

TWO DAYS LATER.

Alfred was desperately worried about Bruce,he had been gone for two days and there was no trace of him.

Alfred turned on the Tv and gave it his fullest attention,hoping to hear a mention of batman.

Gothcorp has now been renamed joker inc and their sky scraper has is now the centre of quite a bit of controversy,it's colour scheme somewhat . . errrr. .weird. The news woman reported standing in front of a huge purple and green sky scraper that had a giant joker head mounted on the top.

"How vile" Alfred commented to himself as he switched off the TV and walked off towards the batcave.

As he desended down the stair case,he noticed Bruce laying on the floor,exhausted.

"BRUCE!!!" Alfred shouted running down the stair case and going down on to his knees.

"Just been doing a little training alfred" Bruce groaned as he fell asleep.

Ra's stared up distastfully at jokers personal sky scraper.

"How happy i shall be when this wretched city has been burnt to the ground."He remarked to himself,he got out of his limo,his ten henchmen in tow and walked in to the plaza of the building and entered the lift.

"Wolf,be careful this clown is more dangerous than i though" Ra's warned his second in command.

Wolf confirmed his understanding with a swift nod as a loud ring idicated they were at the top floor named "Joker's playroom"

They walked into the room each of the henchmen bearing a katana and an uzi,the room was bright orange,suddenly gas began to fill the room.

Ra's sunk to his knee and began to mediate as his men grasped their throats and screamed in terror and agony as their skin was seared of and they were reduced to dust.

As the gas cleared Joker appeared from behind a corner and was taken a back to see Ra's sitting there unharmed.

"And how in the name of TNT did you survive that???"Joker asked curious despite himself.

"Trade secret" Ra's smirked as he rose to his feet and assumed a fighting position "Now we shall see who is the true fool"

Ra's ran forward and punched the joker sqaure in the chest,but joker easily evaded the punch and delivered his own bone breaking punch to Ra's who recoiled at the force of the punch.

"But how?how do you avoid my punch?noone can move that fast!" Ra's gasped,puzzled at the turn about of events.

"Trade secret" Joker laughed as he stared into Ra's eyes and began to laugh.

Ra's also started to laugh,long and hard,he fell to his knees as utter hysteria shook his body out of control.

"Wh..HAHAHAHA why can't i HAHAHAHAHA stop laughing???HAHAH" Ra's half laugh,half screamed.

Joker stopped laughing and watched intently as Ra's rolled about the floor laughing like a madman until,after a few minutes the laughter stopped and Ra's lay motionless on the floor.

"I've always said laughter is infectious" the Joker giggled as he began to dance about his office.

Great installment! Bahahahaha "infectious" laughter! I like the way you think RA Lol

Thanks FOTH :D ,more should be on the way soon,i just love writing Joker's parts,tis most enjoyable and fun,it's very scary how very much alike he and i are. . . . :lol:

Exactly. Laughter is like a cat's purr, it's not about happiness or well-being. It's just about strong emotions...

*cracks whip*

Write more. NOW. Or else...

Alfred watched as Bruce trained,he had been doing push ups for hours and now he was working on the punch bag.

"Sir,you are,despite what you may think,just a man and you do need rest" Alfred tried to explain for the hundreth time.

"No time for rest Alfred,i've got to keep training,gotta be on top form" Bruce panted.

"Very well sir" Alfred resigned as he turned and walked off.

Sorry alfred,i know you don't agree with this,but i've got to do this,he's grown too powerful now,i've got to end this for good,if i have to die to do it,thats a price i'll pay gladly.

Alfred sighed to himself as the door bell rang.

"Hello how may i..."Alfred was cut off in mid sentence as a knife flew though the air and tore into alfreds neck,silencing him.

Permanently.

The door swung open to reveal a tall bare chested man,his chest was covered in hundreds of little cuts that formed tallies,this sinster killer was known as Mr Zsasz.

In one hand he held his bloody carving knife that he had just used to kill alfred,in the other he held two suitcases each containing huge and extremely potent amounts of explosive.

He walked over to the dining area and set on down and activated it then walked over tp the entrance of the batcave and walked down the staircase,being careful to stay in the shadows,out of bruces view,when he got to the bottom,he layed down the second suitcase.

"I'd love to cut you up myself pretty boy,but orders are orders i guess" Zsasz shrugged as he ran up the stair case and out of wayne manor as the bombs went off.

Mr Zsasz stood and watched as the roof of wayne manor collapsed.

"phew,thats one hot party" Mr Zsasz laughed as he walked off "hey!i made a funny!

You killed ALFRED? How COULD you! :-( :-( :-(
Bad RA! Bad!

Bah,i'll kill whoever i please,my story,my homcidal rampage. anyhow heres the next part.
_________________________________________________________________
Bruce climbed out of the now heavily dented and smashed batmobile,he had jumped into just as he had heard the first explosion.

"Well there goes my car" he sighed then he remembered Alfred had been in the mansion when it had collapsed...that meant that Alfred was...dead.

"Oh no....noo..nooo,no"Bruce fell to his knees,distraught and broke down into tears as he was torn apart by the fact the last and closest friend he had,was dead.

Then bruce felt it,cold yet burning,he could feel it starting deep inside him and screaming out,white hot fury that was like an unstoppable blood thirsty beast,a beast that roared out for vengence,swift and brutal vengence.

Bruce rose to his feet and walked over to his bat suit and put it on.

"Joker...you'll pay" He promised

_________________________________________________________________

"Soooo Mr Zsasz,i take it that the baman is dead?" Joker asked expectantly,almost like a young child at christmas.

"Yes,for sure,he's dead" Mr Zsasz answered with a huge smirk plastered all over his evil face.

Joker let out a whoop of triumph.

"Mr Zsasz,you deserve a vaction!hows the rest of your life sound?" Joker giggled as he removed his gun from his table drawer.

"Yeah that sounds. . . . what??"Mr Zsasz asked shocked,he screamed as the bullets tore through him,until his limp body sagged in the chair.

Joker walked over to the window.

"This city is mine".

You are getting better and better at this, do you know that? Some really good things in here this time:

"Then bruce felt it,cold yet burning,he could feel it starting deep inside him and screaming out,white hot fury that was like an unstoppable blood thirsty beast,a beast that roared out for vengence,swift and brutal vengence."

* * *

Joker walked over to the window.

"This city is mine".


Those 2 where VERY good! (Now what you need is a proof-reader...spelling...for example it's 'vengeance' ...;-) )

Thanks for the advice FOTH,you are indeed most wise,glad you're still enjoying it.

Too funny!!


*cracks whip* ...get back to writing...!

Joker awoke with a jolt,he sat up quickly looking around the room

"I've been out for a while,must of been quite a party" He jumped out of the chair and walked over to a dead mr zsasz."Ahhh,look at the poor fellow,dead on his feet. . . I mean seat HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Joker started rolling around on the floor with laughter.

After a few minutes,he rose and strolled merrily over to the window.

"Theres nothing left to conquer" He lamented as he stared out at a gloomy gotham,and for the first time in his life,Joker felt lonely,suddenly he noticed the familar shape of the batwing heading towards him through the clouds.

"Perhaps I spoke too soon?the winged bat doth approach"

Joker waved at the batwing as it got closer and closer,suddenly batman ejected just before it collied with the skyscraper and exploded,sending shrapnel everywhere,smoke poured out of the building but above the noise of crackling fire and explosions,the jokers insane laughter rang out into the night.

Batman looked up and gritted his teeth as he walked over to the lobby door and he marched into the building.

After a few minutes he emerged and shot his gattling gun upwards and began to scale the side of the building,as he flew through the empty window frame,He saw a figure standing hidden in the thick smog.

As it cleared batman glared as he saw joker standing there,defiantly with that same stupid insane grin,mocking him.

"Playtime"Joker growled as he charged at batman grabbing him in a bear hug and crushing him.

"Don't worry bats,the punchlines nearly here"

He threw batman to the floor like a rag doll.

He stomped over to finish him off when batman spun around clutching the Joker's discarded gun in his hand,Joker stopped dead in his tracks.

BANG BANG BANG BANG

The final thrilling chapter. . . . . .
Enjoy.
__________________________________________
Joker stood there,his eyes wide with disbelief,gasping for breath.

"Y...you shot me...but...thats against the rules" He said blankly as he fell to the floor.

Batman threw the gun to the floor as he realized what he had just done.

I've gone against everything I stand for....everything I vowed I would't do...

He walked over to the Joker,his head hung low as suddenly Joker jumped back to his feet.

"You did't think I'd die that easily did you?" He laughed as he once again grabbed batman in a bear hug and threw the two of them out of the window,as they plummeted towards the ground all Batman could hear was joker manic laughing.

They hit the concrete with a thump,cracking it,luckily Joker took the brunt of the fall,but quickly recovered tossing batman into an old statue of the deceased tomas wayne.

Batman smashed into it,with a aloud crack it toppled and crushed him.

Rain began to pour from the sky,splattering over Batman washing away the blood covering him,he looked up at the Joker,expectantly waiting for death.

The he realized he was crying.
The tears cascaded down his cheeks,almost burning him with their intense heat.

Father....I'm sorry for breaking my vow....why....why have you forsaken me?

"WHY?????" Batman screamed into the night as Joker advanced.

"Because sometimes.....good guys deserve to die." Joker replied grimly as he hefted the statue off of Batman who quickly delivered a kick to the Joker's face and charged at him,carrying him into the looby with his momentum.

They stood into centre of the lobby,lightening striking around the building.

Suddenly batman ran up the stairs.

Joker stood there for a few seconds puzzled then gave chase.

"COME BACK HERE YA YELLA BELLY" Joker yelled waving his fist comically.

Batman stopped and grabbed Joker,pinning him to the floor to the floor.

Then batman pulled two small detonators from his belt.

"And sometimes the good guy and the bad guy deserve the same fate" He whispered as he activated them.

The building shook from the force of all the explosions and began to fall apart around them.

Three weeks later.

Alfred stood at bruce's bedside.he was making a steady recovery,but he would never be able to walk again.

"Sir,I have something that may be of interest to you" Alfred said in his new metallic voice,the knife that mr zsasz had thrown into his throat had left him unable to speak without the aid of a special voice box, he handed bruce a big brown envelop. "Courtesy of Ra's al ghul"

Bruce slowly opened it and began reading,his eyes opened wide.

"A secret lazarus pit???" Bruce exclaimed "Alfred,we're going to egypt"

After a few minutes,bruce was finally in a wheel chair and alfred wheeled him out just as the news came on.
