Joker laughed as the broadcast went live.<br/>"Oh Gotham, it must be quite the sight. Though not an uncommon one." There had been times before when the two of them had done similar things, saying they were going to take over the city and every time Batman had stopped them. Joker stepped off screen before walking back on behind the Bat with the blade against his throat.<br/>"But this time, it's going to end a little differently. Anything you'd like to say to the people Batsy?" Joker asked, leaning down slightly. When the man didn't say anything Joker stood back up. "Didn't think so. You never were one for words, preferring to get straight. Down. To. Business." Each word was accompanied by a punch thrown to land mostly on Batman's face, the one area not fully protected by his armor.<br/>"We're going to have fun tonight ladies and gentlemen." Joker turned back to the camera. "Your dear Batman, vigilant saviour, and hero to many. But after tonight..." He smiled at Harley. "After tonight there will be a little change in management." The man moved to the side where the spread of weapons waited.<br/>"Well Bats, where would we like to start?" A little gunpowder?" He picked up a pistol, and aimed at the man's foot. "Oops, how clumsy of me." Joker said, his smile gone as Batman did his best not to make any noise as the bullet lodged itself in his foot. Joker crouched down next to him, one hand on the back of the chair. "Oh, I'm sorry. Was that a little too weak for the big bad Bat?" Joker shot him in the other foot.<br/>"Maybe we can play with an old favourite instead." The man stood, replacing the gun in its spot and hefting a crowbar instead. "Robin sure had fun with this." The man laughed, remembering when he had beaten the Bat's little sidekick with this exact weapon.<br/><br/>This went on for some time, Joker playing with Batman like a new toy. He had shot the man several times in both feet, the shins, once in the side...never enough to kill him though. The crowbar had found its way home, swung at the Bat's ribs and arms, successfully breaking bones. Many cuts and gashes coloured the man's flesh before Joker stepped back to admire his handy work.<br/>"What do you think Harley? Think he's had enough?" Joker placed one hand on his chin, as though thinking this over. "Or do you think I should let him go a round with my girl?" He grinned and walked behind the camera to take it from Harley.
