BAT
Hello I'm Bat, and I'm an alcoholic. I thought it started when Wayne Enterprises went down the tubes but it started earlier. See I don't kill anyone, I just beat them up and they get locked up in Arkahm Assylum. Then they sneak out and it repeats. Why was I doing it?
Then I realised I could only beat up villains, when I was wearing tights and a mask, or rubber. I was a hopeless addict to sadomasochistic violence, long before I was an alcoholic. And when the villains caught me, they'd tie me up, beat me and torture me. I liked that, liked that(beat)even more.
When Joker beat Robin to death I masturbated all evening, crying with shame.
WE SEE THE JOKER NEXT TO HIM.
JOKER
So not the Batman eh Bats, more dnna dnna Batty Man!.
SUDDENLY BURSTS INTO TEARS.
Oh Bats I only carry out crimes, because the only time you show me you care. The only time you touch me is when you're giving me a savage beating. It takes a bottle of vodka a day to keep this smile on my face.
BATS AND THE JOKER HUG.
