Robin Pov:

After walking around and zip lining across a beam me and Batman continue through this giant death trap to get to the Joker and quite possibly Bane, which I'm kinda worried about because Bruce knows what Bane is like in a fight and the only way we could beat him would be to get him in a two-on-one situation - but if I didn't know any better he's going to face Bane by himself - and I was right. We walk around more until the Joker's voice once again appears on our communicators.

Joker: Incredible. They really outdid themselves with this penthouse suite. The bathroom has three kinds of soap! I mean, who has time for all that cleaning? I usually just hop into a vat of acid and call it a day.

We walk over to a door and as we walk through I see something horrible.

Batman: What is this?

Joker: Like what I've done with the place? I know, I know, it's a bit much. What can I say? I can be a tad... compulsive... from time-to-time.

We go down a drop and land on the floor directly under us and start fighting more thugs and Joker keeps opening his mouth.

Joker: Where did I get all of this you ask? Well - I got a great deal on an out-of-service amusement park. You should have seen the look on the real estate agent's face when we shook hands on the deal!

We go to a hall with four thugs strapped to chairs and a timer going off, which means bad news for them. Batman goes up above and finds a security box and uses the cryptographic sequencer to turn off the electric floor which he succeeds.

Joker: Hmm... well technically that was cheating, but... ah, what can I say? I have a soft spot for cheaters! So bravo Batman and Robin. Bra-vo.

We keep going on and the trap just gets even more difficult as we're inside the head of the clown and look around.

Joker: HA! Nice try. No way out of there! Guess you'll just have to wait right where you are until I start sending the hotel guards through. That'll be a scream.

Robin: So - how are we getting out of this?

Batman: Like this...

Batman grabs a remote batarang and chucks it through the eyes of the clown head making it through both and hitting a control panel to the surprise of myself and maybe even Joker.

Joker: Givin' it the ole college try, are we? Your optimism is surprising, given that frown you're always wearing. I mean - can't you be like Mr. Boy Blunder next to you?

Robin: I'll show him Boy Blunder.

Batman: There's a hatch above us - let's go.

*Timeskip because this part is long*

After finishing the Joker's little 'game' through the Royal Hotel, me and Batman continue through the building to the overview bar and the penthouse to finally put an end to this little game.

Robin: Bruce - I've got an idea.

Batman: You go to the overview bar and I'll get to the penthouse.

Robin: That's my point, how are you going to fight Bane?

Batman: I'll think about it when I get there - besides I don't want you getting hurt.

Robin: Wasn't that the whole reason you gave me this? You're like a father to me Bruce and I don't want you to die, but what happens when you don't defeat Bane?

Batman: Y/n - I need you to trust me...

Batman puts his hand on my shoulder hoping to be the father in this situation and reassure the very worried son.
