Batman lands on the roof just to be confronted by the Hellucination of Joker again
Joker: Hey Batsy you been holding out on me more than I thought. Who's the cat lady you're swinging along? She's pretty cute in her costume. Grrrrr. You gonna ask her out? Then again you're not two-timing Vicki Vale are you? Whatever happened to her? I haven't seen her since I lend her a hand. Hahaha literally. Still you gonna close the deal with Catwoman? Or are you saving yourself for Zatanna? I saw her at the ally while you were mopping on your parents. She's gorgeous! So who's it gonna be? They're both lovely. Oh I got it why not both? If you know what I mean.....hehe heh.
Batman stared dead at Joker in death in his eyes
Soon Catwoman came on the roof and Batman turns around to her with Joker smiling at her behind him
Catwoman: You ok? You like you seen a ghost.
Joker: He did. I'm the ghost of Christmas future. Ooooooh! But no call me Joker puddin.
Batman: I'll be fine. We got work to do.
Inside the Nightclub people danced chatted and Dagget and Kane sat with cicigars
Kane: You think we can trust that brainless Scarecrow?
Dagget: I'll admit he's off but he hates Wayne as much as we do.
Kane: What about the money? He's gonna burn it all it down.
Dagget: We'll just have to make sure he doesn't. Soon as he gets us to Wayne we put him out of his misery.
Kane: Not if he puts us out of ours first.
Dagget: Relax. The worst thing that could happen is if Batman crashes into our operation.
Dagget might have jinxed it cause down on the dance floor everything was going well till....the skylight shatters
Batman glides down into action
Causing a panic people ran Dagget's men pulled out their guns to shoot him
But some of them got whipped by Catwoman
Batman punches a crook in the jaw and throws a chair at him
Catwoman slashes another in the face
Hearing commotion Dagget and Kane came out and saw the fighting
Batman turns around spotting them
Dagget: THE BATMAN!!
Kane: He's mine!
Kane takes his gun pointing it at him
But Batman shoots his grapple around his neck and yanks him like he did in 89 at Axes Chemicals
Kane falls sliding off the floor and Bruce looked up at Dagget
He makes a run for it Batman throws a battering with a line grabbing his leg and pulls him to him
Kane runs out as Catwoman took some of the goons money without Batman nothing her
Dagget looks up after being pulled back and The Dark Knight lunges at him and pulls him up to him
Dagget: Get your hands off me you goddamn you lunatic!
Batman: It's over Dagget. Where's the Scarecrow?
Dagget: How the hell should I know?
Batman wasn't gonna take lies he grapples him up the broken skylight he came in from
Next thing Dagget knew he was being held by Batman over 30 stories of a building
Dagget: No! Hey! HEEEEY!
Batman: TALK!
Dagget: I don't know where he is he came to us!
Batman: Then who does know? Your buddy Montague Kane?
Dagget: You really want to find this guy?! Just ask Bruce Wayne!
Batman: What do you mean?
Dagget: This guy wants to destroy Wayne for something personal. Said Thomas Wayne destroyed his love life! I don't know if he just drumatic or just plain crazy! Either way you want this guy just ask Wayne!
Batman: Bruce Wayne's reputation does not associate with criminals like you and the Scarecrow. The next time you see him.....
Without Dagget noticing Bruce puts a tracker on him
Batman:....tell him I'm coming for him.
Batman threw him aside but he got something out of him the Scarecrow had a grudge against the Wayne's and made him think back to when Lesley and Lucius told him about his father's rogue colleague Johnathan Crane he was close on fingering out the truth. He needed more answers before going after Scarecrow
Joker comes from the shadows mocking Dagget of what he told Batman
Joker: "Just ask Bruce Wayne!" Haha! If he only knew. Seems this Scarecrow is looking for more than just a brain. Where to now Batsy?
Catwoman comes out with a smirk seeing Dagget unconscious
Catwoman: I take he didn't tell you much?
Batman: He'll lead me to him I just have to wait.
Catwoman: Well hope it comes through. I'll be in touch.
Batman: Wait.
Catwoman looks back
Batman: Help me bring him in and I'll help clear you.
Catwoman: Why would I need clearing?
Batman: You know why.
Catwoman smirks
Catwoman: Right I'm a fugitive again cause I'm wearing this mask again. I said I help but your ward is right about one thing I can't be trusted.
Catwoman blew Batman a kiss and dives back off the roof
Batman looks down to the edge
She's gone
Batman then looked forward and saw a buildboard of Zatanna
After seeing her manager Montague Kane with Dagget he felt visiting her was now long overdue
