Hotel Transylvania: Johnny is THE BATMAN (Part 1)

Chapter 39

Later at the Police Precinct...
The new and installed searchlight Bat-signal was now placed on top of the precinct's rooftop shining up the large bat emblem at the sky whenever they needed to call Batman/Johnny.

Gordon was at the rooftop talking to his daughter over the phone while hoping that Batman/Johnny would come. After a few minutes, Gordon was startled when he turns around and saw Batman/Johnny was already on the roof with him unexpectedly.

"Sorry I gotta go. I'll see you later tonight, Barbara." Gordon said as he ended his call with his daughter and puts his phone back on his pocket. "I was about to think you weren't gonna show up."

"Captain, that light... it has a bat on it." Batman/Johnny said while looking at the new searchlight while shining up the bat symbol at the sky.

"You give me a number to call, I'll rethink my methods." Gordon said jokingly but he looked at Batman/Johnny like he was in no mood for jokes. "I thought putting the light on to this thing would call you when needed, especially on nights like this. What do you think?"

"You know what, I like it." Batman/Johnny said smirking at his new Bat-signal.

"I also got a call from Detective Bullock earlier. He said he thinks that the Batman apprehended Jay Wilde's killer tonight." Gordon said while turning off the Bat-signal.

"His name is Robert Hanes. He was a former security guard at the playing card company that Wilde owned. After the break in, he was fired then started to join up with Penguin and blackmail Wilde. I'm assume he's already in police custody?" Batman/Johnny asked.

"Yeah. He's already behind bars as we speak thanks to you. The only problem I have left is the Joker." Gordon said.

"What about the Joker? He didn't escape, did he?" Batman/Johnny asked furiously thinking that the Joker would cause trouble again.

"No, it's not like that. His prints aren't in any database, so we'll probably never know who he really is." Gordon replied.

"I guess we'll have to work on that someday." Batman/Johnny said.

"I have to be honest with you, the moment I first heard about you, I thought you might be a crazy lunatic in a halloween costume that we couldn't stop, but boy was I wrong. After the night you took down the Joker, you saved a lot of innocent lives. Including my wife and daughter. Thank you." Gordon said with gratitude towards Batman/Johnny.

"Protecting the innocent lives of humans and monsters from criminals is my top priority. It's what I do, Captain." Batman/Johnny stated.

"So doing it by the book, huh? Glad that we're on the same page, Batman." Gordon said while Batman/Johnny nodded. "This isn't just why I called you. I called you here tonight because I think it's time we take our partnership to the next level.

"The next level?" Batman/Johnny wondered.

"One thing you need to know: if you're going to continue this vigilante thing, you're going to make a lot of enemies. Firefly, Penguin, Freeze, and the Joker are only the beginning. Besides the existence of Count Dracula and the other monsters, you became one of the highest names in this place. Deep down, I know more of these 'super villains' are gonna wanna have to put you on their hit list." Gordon explained.

"If the other criminals out there wants a piece of me, then so be it. I'll be ready for them... and they're going to wish they should've stayed home. I won't let criminal scums terrorize our streets." Batman/Johnny said bravely.

"I know we could count on you, Batman." Gordon felt his phone vibrated and picked it up. "Oh... I gotta take this call. My wife is probably wondering where I am now... See you around, Batman. Don't be a stranger."
