That night they were in the Bat. They weren't really going to an exact place, just riding around looking for trouble. As soon as they had turned on Main Street, all the electric billboards were blurred and pixelated. Bruce, I mean Batman, slowed down the vehicle and he and Catwoman watched the signs. All the billboards soon changed showing a man with green hair and a face covered in white makeup with a creepy smile from ear to ear drawn with lipstick.

The man's picture stayed on the screen for a while then the billboards changed showing words. They read,"Hello, you're probably wondering who I am. I'll tell you that later, but I see that you brought your pussy cat along for the ride." The billboards changed again,"You seem confused, that's the point. That's what makes me interesting. I know you and your little girlfriend, but you don't know me."

The billboards changed again to show a video of the man laughing. Then quickly changed to show more messages. "You didn't even know that you came right into my trap. Ha! Jokes on you Batman! I know everything and you know nothing. You think your fancy cars equip you for what I'm going to do. Think again."

The billboards changed once more and showed an address with this strange, creepy man laughing in the corner. Batman had typed in the location and the billboards went back to their original state. They drove to the location and got out of the car cautiously. The address led them to an abandoned mental hospital. They walked into the building quietly and Batman whispers,"Maybe we should split up. This is a big building, we won't be able to find him if we don't split."

Catwoman nodded and walked down the hallway to the left and Batman walked down the hallway to the right.
