(Arkham Batman landed on the observation deck and joined the others)

Arkham Batman: "I've got the blood, Freeze. Finish the cure."

Arkham Catwoman: "Sorry, handsome. But he just murdered his doppelganger so we had to subdue him. I doubt he'll help you anymore."

(Arkham Batman went to Freeze's unconscious body and scanned him for the cure and found the rest in his suit's arm)

(Arkham Batman quickly poured the blood into it and gave it a good shake)

Telltale Batman: "Uh..do you know what you're doing there?"

Arkham Batman: "Not exactly. But there's no time. I've got to test the cure. Now."

(He noticed Joker coughing on the ground)

Arkham Catwoman: "Batman no! Don't do it. Saving him will only doom thousands more."

(Arkham Batman looked between her and Joker, torn between which decision to make)

(Harley snatched the cure out of Batman's hand and poured it into Joker's mouth)

(For a moment time stood still...then Joker's eyes shot open as he took a gasp of breath)

Harley: "Puddin!"

(Hugs him)

Telltale Batman: "You did it!"

Arkham Batman: "I'll arrange for the cure to be mass produced and sent out to every hospital in the state."

(Telltale Catwoman hugged Telltale Batman)

Telltale Catwoman: "Haven't even had the chance to say this yet but..hi."

Telltale Batman: "...hi."

(They kiss)

(Arkham Catwoman walked up to Arkham Batman nervously)

Arkham Catwoman: "Hey..I'm sorry I asked you not to save him. I know it's a difficult thing for.."

Arkham Batman: "I understand, Selina. It'd be all too easy to simply let these horrible people die. Ra's and Strange nearly wiped out every criminal in Gotham..but that's not the way. Saving lives is what matters most. No matter who they are."

Arkham Catwoman: "Well..if it helps..you save my life...every day. Just knowing you're out there. It's..some days it's all that keeps me going."

(They shared a long look)

Arkham Batman: "..you expecting a kiss?"

(Catwoman giggled)

Arkham Catwoman: "Nope. But I sure as hell want one."

(They kiss as their doppelgangers continued to do the same)

(Harley looked around and kissed Joker too)

(Ra's woke up and saw Batman kissing Catwoman)

Ra's: "Nooo! That is not Talia! I have failed!"

(Stabs himself)

Arkham Catwoman: "Shit. Failed to save one more."

Arkham Batman: "I'll toss him in the Lazarus pit later."

(Kissing resumes)

(As the sun came up, both Batmans shook hands before Telltale Batman and Catwoman teleported back to their world, Joker and Harley snuck away into the elevator while they were distracted)

Harley: "So puddin, ya got yourself a clean bill of health. How do you wanna celebrate?"

Joker: "What a good question, Harley...I'm sick of being stuck in this prison city. Let's get out of here and remind Gotham who really runs this town."

(Chuckles menacingly)

(Robin met up with Batman on a rooftop later)

Robin: "I did it. I got all 243 Riddler trophies! It took me 18 hours but I did it!"

Batman: "There's 400."

Robin: "..wut?"

Batman: "440 counting Catwoman's."

Robin: "Oh for the love of..!"

Batman: "Did you remember the hostages?"

Robin: "...there were hostages?"

Batman: "..never mind I'll do the rest. You get home and help Oracle oversee the cure production."

Robin: "Yay!"

(Telltale Earth)

(Bruce entered Wayne Manor and saw Alfred packing up a suitcase)

Bruce: "Al?"

Alfred: "Oh Bruce. I'm glad you made it home."

Bruce: "Where are you going?"

Alfred: "I'm leaving, Bruce. Those hours..waiting to hear back from you..they were...difficult for me. Too difficult. I'm afraid I..cannot do this anymore. There's lasagna in the freezer. I'm sure you'll manage."

(Alfred steps towards the door...)

Bruce: "Alfred wait!"

(Alfred stops)

Bruce: "...have a safe flight."

(Alfred sighs)

Alfred: "Thank you, Bruce. Good luck and...goodbye."

(The door closes as Bruce sees the Bat Signal through the window)
