Meanwhile, in an entirely different city not too far away on that same little blue planet, a man in a suit took in a refreshing view of the city skyline from an outcropping on one of its' tallest buildings, the skyscrapers all around dazzlingly lit by the afternoon sun like jewels as a pleasant sea breeze blew in from the nearby harbor and accompanying warehouse district. It had been a long haul all the way up to the top but it was worth it.

Yes, everything was perfect. Just him, a glorious afternoon-

[b]"AAAAAAAAAH!~ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!~[/b]

-and of course the music of terrified screams from the man he was currently dangling by the ankle over a one-hundred-and-four story long drop.

"You know, I used to only do this sort of thing at night, but working during the day does give a man certain advantages. In the daylight you can really get a good view of the ground, even from all the way up here. Notice how the cars just look like ants? You'd never get that amount of detail at night. Of course, you're about to see it all even more clearly..." The Batman said all of this in an almost deadpan or casual tone, as if discussing what time was best for hanging a man off of a skyscraper was about the same as discussing what time was best to meet someone for lunch.

"Y-you won't kill me! B-batman doesn't kill people!" The man insisted, almost begging for it to be true.

"Are you really sure of that? It's a long way down. You'd have plenty of time to regret making the wrong guess before you hit the ground, and frustration isn't doing wonders for my grip." Just as he said that he loosed his hold on the leg just enough to let the other man feel it without coming close to dropping him. Years of practice meant he could catch the poor fool easily enough if he did too, but that wasn't something the other man needed to know.

"OHPLEASEGODNO! DON'T DO IT! DON'T DO IT!"

"Then [i]talk![/i]"
