Batman: The Burdening (Part 3)

Cold

(Mr Freeze held an ice cream factory hostage until Batman brought Nora to him)

Mr Freeze: "Nora..?"

Batman: "She's cured, Victor."

Mr Freeze: "Nora! You're..you're finally.."

Nora: "You're awful, Victor!"

Mr Freeze: "Wha..wha..?"

Nora: "Did you think I'd approve of all this murder you've done??!"

Mr Freeze: "I suppose..I.. did not really think about.."

Nora: "No you didn't. Fuck you, Victor. I never want to see you again."

(She angrily walks passed Batman, slipping him her number)

(Freeze collapsed to his knees, in defeat)

Mr Freeze: "Arrest me..I have nothing to fight for anymore."

Batman: "I empathize with you, Victor."

Mr Freeze: "Really?"

Batman: "No."

(Throws thermal batarang at him which heats him up before Batman punches him hard through an ice wall)

Batman: "Jim. Freeze is down too. Get yourself some ice cream while you're here. On me."

(Tim snuck up on Mad Hatter at the hat shop)

Mad Hatter: "Alice?"

Tim: "Nope!"

(Knocks him out with a staff to the head, then crushes his hat)

Batman: "Nice work."

(Tim turned around to face him)

Tim: "Don't even think about..!"

Batman: "I'm not here to fight you."

Tim: "Then what..?"

Batman: "You've shown great skill. Intellectually and physically. With the proper training you could make a great Robin."

(Tim smiled with surprise)

Tim: "That's..that means so much. I know I can do it! I promise I'll..!"

Batman: "And if you hadn't told Crane my identity...I would have agreed to train you...but now You've broken my trust."

(Batman starts walking away)

Tim: "No..no please..I promise I'll do better...please don't leave.."

(A knife through his neck silenced his final words)

(Batman turned back but he was too late)

(Tim collapsed dead, revealing The Joker behind him)

Joker: "If anyone gets to be your sidekick, Bats...it's gonna be me.."
