Okay, so instead of making this like a Chapter-by-Chapter story, this'll be a one chapter per update for the game, Poppy Playtime. There's only two chapters on Poppy Playtime (currently), so there will be two chapters on here, until we get another one, and it'll keep going until Poppy Playtime ends. Let's see how Arkham Batman deals with Poppy, Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs.

Here's credit for where credit is due.

Poppy Playtime belongs to Enchanted Mob.

3rd Person P.O.V.

Batman was investigating an abandoned toy factory. The disappearance of the workers of this facility is an enigma. You could say that this investigation was rather pointless for someone like the Dark Knight, but given to the fact one of his greatest enemies, the Joker, often uses factories that produce party items or party gags as hideouts, it wouldn't be unlikely that the Joker is using a toy factory as a hideout and definitely fits his MO. 

But not this factory...

Batman parked his Batmobile just outside the factory. He used the computer in the Batmobile to research the history of this factory.

"Playtime Co?" Batman said to himself in the car.

He hasn't heard of it in such a long time. He remembered when he was a child, back when his parents were still alive, his father once took him over there to see all the lovely toys there. There was one toy that Thomas didn't want Bruce to get, and that was the Poppy doll. 

It didn't make sense to the young Wayne, as she was the most popular toy there, and the most intelligent one, too. It looked expensive, yet Thomas insisted that Bruce wouldn't want her. He defended his reasons by saying she was a 'girls toy.'

Batman found a commercial clip that was dated many years ago, perhaps before Bruce Wayne was even born. Batman could see a man walking towards the camera.

"You are about to see the most incredible doll ever invented. Her name is Poppy, and she is the first truly intelligent doll in the world. A little girl can talk to her, Poppy gives her answers. She is the first doll actually able to have a conversation with a child. Hard to believe? Just watch."

The screen went dark before showing a picture of the doll.

"Poppy Playtime!" 

Batman heard children on the screen cheering. A woman is speaking to the audience to inform them about the doll.

"Poppy is as lovable as a real girl, and she talks like one, too."

Someone pulled the string on Poppy's back and let it go, allowing the doll to speak.

"Hi, my name is Poppy! I love you. Can you help me polish my shoes? "

Poppy lifts her leg up.

"Why, of course, Poppy!"

The woman polishes the doll's shoes.

"Just like a real girl, Poppy always wants to look her best."

"Perfect! Thank you!"

Poppy thanked the woman. The woman is now brushing Poppy's hair.

"Her hair is sturdy and won't' come out when you brush it, and smells just like a Poppy flower. Is there anything else you'd like to say, Poppy?"

"I'm a real girl... Just like you." 

Batman caught a quick glimpse of Poppy turning her head to look at the camera before it cut to a different screen.
