The Bat-Troll Vs Dracula

Curing Joker

Bat-Troll brought Joker to the Batcave in hopes of interrogating him for Dracula's location.

Clay: Anything?

Bat-Troll: Joker's not talking. He won't reveal Dracula's resting place, not so long as he has Vampire blood in his veins.

Joker: Batsy!!

Floyd: Joker has suffered a fate crueler than death. And I should know that.

Bat-Troll: I intend to bring him back to the land of the living. With a little blood work.

Branch was working on a cure while the others did some more Vampire research. Meanwhile in Trollstopia, everyone hides in fear that they'll be the next lost ones. A man finds a little girl all by herself.

Man: Hey, little girl. You shouldn't be out here.

The girl is revealed to be a Vampire who bites him. Back at the Bat Cave, Branch is still testing Joker's DNA for a cure by using the solar generator.

Clay: Solar generator prepped and ready, Branch.

The first try fails.

Branch: Joker's blood didn't withstand the sunlight.

Meanwhile, a senior citizen becomes the next victim to some of the Vampires. Branch's second try fails.

Joker: I know you're near, Batsy. I can smell the precious nectar pumping through your veins.

Branch's third attempt fails.

Branch: Find anything of value?

John Dory: To be quite honest, so much Vampire lore exists, that it is difficult to separate fact from fiction.

Clay: But take a look at this. Carmilla Karnstein, the bride of Count Dracula. According to legend, her bloodthirst rivaled even his own.

Poppy: It seems they were-

Branch: Meant for each other?

Poppy: Glad Cupid's arrow was able to penetrate your heart.

The doorbell rings and was revealed to be Vikki Vale.

Viva: Ms. Vale? What is she doing here?

Branch: Probably another interview on me.

Floyd: Don't worry. We'll politely ask her to leave. Right now, you've got problems of your own.

Joker: (screams) The horror! The horror!

The team heads upstairs to answer the door.

Poppy: Vikki, good to see you again.

Vikki Vale: Well, you know me. Always after the latest scope.

Down in the Batcave, Bat-Troll tries interrogating Joker again.

Joker: Why do you torment me, Batsy? I thought you cared.

Bat-Troll: Trust me, Joker, I'm trying to help you.

Joker: Then feed me!

Joker grabs a Bug off the ground and eats it.

Joker: Got ketchup?

Upstairs, Vikki starts learning more about Branch.

Vikki Vale: The grief must continue to affect Branch. I mean, no one ever really gets over a trauma like that.

Viva: Like me, Branch has his outlets.

Vikki Vale: He must fear losing those he cares about. Which would explain his difficulty in letting others get close.

Poppy: Trust me, it took me a while to get close to him, but with a little patience. You'll get to know him well.

Vikki Vale: (sniffs) Do I smell garlic?

Spruce: Uh, that would be our dinner cooking. It's my special recipe.

Vikki Vale: I should be on my way. Thanks for giving me some more facts for my story.

Vikki leaves, meanwhile Bat-Troll was still looking for a cure.

Joker: Thirsty. Burning up inside. I can't take it anymore! Have mercy on a sad clown.

Bat-Troll offers Joker a bag of his blood.

Bat-Troll: Dracula's resting place, where is it?

Joker: Don't you see? The choice isn't mine to make. I am his vessel.

Bat-Troll gives Joker the blood.

Joker: Batsy, you complete me.
