This particular night was quite cold. He was glad to be inside of the Jokemobile which had air conditioning. Driving down the lone street to a location he didn’t know where just yet. Listening to the police scanner for any potential crimes that could be happening. To relieve his boredom he turned on the radio to a random station.  The voice of a sad-sounding [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRhmogBs-gU]man[/url] filled the Jokemobile. Joker could only stand a few minutes before changing the station. On the next few stations, he found a song he really [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4UpwE1mwKg&list=PLCtV619TXkk5APJW-qMaAxhs0DACrn8U_&index=5&t=62s]liked[/url]

Singing along while he was speeding passed a few honking cars. Singing in a high-pitched and off-key voice while tapping the wheel of his car. Only stopped when he heard a bulletin from the police scanner. There was a robbery going on at a well-known jewelry store. Joker punched in the coordinates speeding faster towards the store. He wanted to catch them with their pants down and get the element of surprise. Although he knew stealth was not his strong suit. Nevertheless, he was going to try his best to not be seen until the right moment. 


Parking his Jokemobile a few feet away from the jewelry store. Jumping out of the seat clicking a button to lock it.  The Joker would be very angry if some hooligan stole his vehicle while he was out fighting crime. He had paid a good amount of money to customize his old car to create the Jokemobile. The clown hero jumped out of the car and started walking towards the store. Going around the back thinking he could flank them. Noticing the backdoor of the building was open. He assumed that was where the robbers had entered. Joker was crouched walking further into the building hiding behind a wall. Watching the robbers trying to wrangle the crowd. 

A figure who he assumed to be the leader was barking orders to the others.  Joker moved from his current position toward a vent. Carefully opening the grate and setting it down on the floor. Moving from the vent towards the offices where the hostages would be. Peeking from the vent grate he could see the hostages being guarded by two robbers.  Leaving a small jack in the box that was timed to fill the room with laughing gas. This was only going to make everyone in the room have the cause of the giggles. This would give him enough time to subdue the robbers. 

The Joker moved further into the vent and to the adjourned room.  Looking at his watch to see how much time he had left on the jack in the box. Putting on his X-ray specs to see both the hostages and the robbers. He could hear the faint sound of “Pop Goes The Weasel” starting to play.  As soon as it finished he could see everyone in the room starting to laugh. This was his time to strike while the iron was hot. Joker put some explosive gel on the wall.  Jumping through the new hole in the wall. Quickly he closed the distance and punched the laughing robber with a hard punch. [b]BIFF! POW! Thud! [/b] He was glad he remembered to bring a pair of brass knuckles.  Pulling out a pair of handcuffs from his utility belt. After handcuffing them he knew that the other robbers would hear the commotion. 

Joker could hear loud footsteps coming towards the room. Joker quickly leads the laughing hostages through the hole in the wall to the other room.  Reaching toward his utility belt and pulling out a few small pellets. As quick as a cheetah the clown he threw the pellets near his feet.  Moved into the large puff of smoke moving towards the main room,  while pulling out a deck of cards. The cards were sharpened so he could use it as a weapon. Throwing the sharpened cards at the hands of the robbers, making them drop their weapons and holding their hands. "[color=39b54a][i]Bad boys like you need a good spanking.[/i][/color]" 

Joker threw some chattering teeth at them. The teeth stuck onto the robber’s legs making them fall to the ground in pain.  He could see the other hostages who were cowering in the corner of the room. "[color=39b54a][i]Don't worry folks this will be over before you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.[/i][/color]"

Noticing four other robbers coming into the room firing their guns at the clown hero. Joker hid behind a display.  Scanning the area of how he could escape this situation. Then all of a sudden someone crashed through the skyline of the building. Everyone seemed to stop what they were doing to stare at the strange person. Joker noticed the person was wearing a costume that looked like a bat. The man looked over at the robbers with a serious glare. And without a moment of hesitation throwing what looked like boomerangs at the robbers.  Disarming them and started to punch them with his fists.  Joker watched as the costume man beat the criminals senselessly. 

Looking angry at the strangely dressed man. He was not going to share the spotlight with anyone. Not now not ever, not as long as he was Gotham's sole protector. 

Pulling out a long-barreled .44 magnum from his pants aiming it at the bat person. “[color=39b54a][i]There can only be one star of this show, that would be moi.[/i][/color]” He said with a big smile on his face. Firing the pistol which only shoot out a sign that said [b]BANG[/b]. “[color=39b54a][i]Oops. Oh right.[/i][/color]” This action got the attention of the man who turned to grimace at him. Clicking the trigger again made the sign shoot out like a projectile at the man. 

“Are [b]YOU [/b]retarded [b]OR [/b]something, your [b]GUNS[/b] can’t [b]HURT[/b] me [b]I’M [/b]the [b]GOD[/b] damn [b]BATMAN!!![/b]” He bellowed as he got out of the way of the sign, he lunged forward towards the Joker.  Laughing the Joker now found the situation has become more interesting. 

“[color=39b54a][i]I got something better than a gun to take you down.[/i][/color]” Joker grabbed hold of Batman’s arms and threw him backwards into a display case. The burly man crashed loudly into the display utterly destroying it. Quickly he put away his gun and brought out a crowbar. The Batman was rushing towards him like a charging bull. 

“[b]YOU[/b] cannot [b]BEAT[/b] me [b]SCUMBAG! [/b] I'm [b]THE[/b] night [b]I'M THE GOD DAMN BATMAN!!![/b]” Batman was stopped in his tracks by Joker slamming the crowbar into the vigilante’s face. He was laid on his back, but he seemed to quickly get back onto his feet. 

“[color=39b54a][i]If you want to work for me so badly, You only need to ask nicely.[/i][/color]” Moving out of the way of a punch or two. It seemed to him that Batman would not stop until he punched out a few of Joker’s teeth. 

“[b]YOU’RE[/b] a [b]FILTHLY[/b] animal, [b]WHY [/b]would I[b] HELP[/b]  a [b]CRIMINAL [/b]like [b]YOU[/b] rob [b]THIS [/b]store!” Batman kept punching. They were slow so Joker could easily dodge it. 

“[color=39b54a][i]I’m not helping them rob this store, I am trying to stop them from stealing. Don’t you know who I am? I’m the gosh darn Joker. Protector of Gotham[/i][/color] ” This made Batman stop and glare at Joker with the same intensity he gave to the criminals. Stepping closer toward the Joker who had to cover his nose. This guy smelled like a mixture of garbage and sour milk. 

Their conversation was interrupted by police sirens and a voice speaking Joker turned his head toward the sound of the voice. “This is Harvey Bullock of Gotham PD, put your guns down and your hands up. The building is surrounded.” The man’s voice was gruff and echoed thanks to the bullhorn he was using. 

“[color=39b54a][i]Look you must be new around here, but like I said before there can only be one protector of Gotham. That person is me…[/i][/color]” He turned his head back towards Batman. Being perplexed that Batman had suddenly disappeared. Joker was glad that costumed freak was gone, so now no one would steal his spotlight. "[color=39b54a][i]Oy Vey.[/i][/color]" Rubbing the bridge of his nose.Putting away his crowbar. Walking out of the building with his arms outstretched with a big smile on his face. “[color=39b54a][i]It’s so nice to see you again Harvey. I gave those bad boys a good spanking.[/i][/color]” Pointing a gloved thumb behind him referring to the criminals.  

“We didn’t need your help clown, we could’ve got these bastards.” Bullock looked annoyed signalling for his men to secure the hostages. “GET THOSE SCUMBAGS IN THE VAN!!!” Screaming into his bullhorn again while walking past Joker. 

“[color=39b54a][i]How rude Harv, should you at least say hi good Joker? Besides the only thing you could get is a box of donuts.[/i][/color]” Joker was now fully ignored by Bullock. This was commonplace between him and everyone in Gotham PD.  He was sure that one day he would get the recognition he deserved. Joker walked away from the building and got into his Jokemobile. 

“[color=39b54a][i]I’m going back to HQ Harley. Would you like anything to eat?[/i][/color]” He said through the communicator that Harley had made for him. Starting the Jokemobile and starting to drive down the lonely dark road. Harley was happy to know that Joker had gotten out okay. She suggested some Taco Whiz, which was something Joker wouldn’t mind having.
