Truth of Joker

Chapter 12

In a Cell in Arkham The Next Day:

A man wearing an orange suit looked at a plain white wall. He had a lean face, a skinny build, and long black hair that reached just past the top of his back. He looked at the wall and said: "I wish I knew about your betrayal earlier, Julie, then I would've just sued you... and then tried to kill you," as he noticed a slip of paper on the ground. He picked it up and read it out loud "What's loud, comes with jokes, and is smoking? This one is easy... it's Joker!" he said

"Knock, knock!"

"Oh great, I DO RIDDLES! NOT JOKES! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEADS!"

"I said, knock, knock, so answer!" shouted a voice

"*Sigh* Who's there?"

"Joking,"

"Joking who?"

"YOU!" replied the voice as the door of his cell was blown off. The man covered his face as he looked at the doorway and saw Joker standing there "Joker... what do you want?" the man asked

"Ahh, Riddler, got nothing to say to the clown that's busting you out?" Joker said with a grin

"Wait, what?" Riddler asked

"Yup, now hurry up, I don't want to be in this place more than I have to,"

"You two are going to be staying here a little while longer," said a voice behind them as Joker turned around to see Batman and Robin

"My, my, Batsey, about time you showed up," Joker said as he placed his hands in his pockets. Batman got ready as he said: "I don't know what your planning, Joker,"

"But you're going down!" Robin shouted as he was the first to launch at him. Joker grinned he pulled out two cans and sprayed them. Robin was caught as he fell to the ground in a cocoon of silly string "W-what's this stuff made of?!" he asked as he tried to escape

"Oh, just an old family recipe, now hurry up or else you want to stay here," Joker said as Riddler slowly walked out of his cell. But Batman attacked Joker, who threw down the cans and a wall of foam appeared in front of him. Batman bounced off the wall as he ran around to get a kick in the gut and a punch to the face. Joker tried to punch him again, but he caught it and punched Joker in the chest. He then headbutted Joker as he fell to the ground, Batman stood over him as he said: "You're not getting away this time, Joker,"

"I b-beg to differ, but first... what's surprising and shocking and the same time?" Joker said

"I'm sorry, Batman," said Riddler as Batman was knocked out from behind. Riddler stood over an unconscious Batman as he helped Joker up "Thanks-you for the assist... kill stealer," Joker said as he walked over to Robin "make sure he doesn't drop the soap, okay?"

"Where do you think you're running off to? Get back here!" Robin shouted as Joker walked away with Riddler

"Running? No, no, I don't run... I just move my feet more quickly than I normally do, HAR!" Joker replied as a large explosion opened a hole in the ceiling. Harley stood in the open side of a helicopter with some rope as she tossed it off. Rope hung in front of Joker and Riddler as Joker bowed and said: "After you, my guest of honor," as Riddler cocked his head

"What's this about? Why did you help me escape?" Riddler asked

"My, my, are these riddles or actual questions? But it doesn't matter which, just hang on," Joker said as Riddler shook his head and grabbed the rope. The two left as Joker laughed in the distance, leaving Batman and Robin where they left them. Batman was just waking up as he rubbed his head "Urgh, what happened?" Batman asked
