Bruce looked at the ballroom in horror and saw that joker had turned it into some kind of funhouse, then he heard joker's voice on the speakers again," like what I've done with the place? I know, I know. it's a bit much, what can I say? I can be a tad... compulsive ...... from time-to-time" Bruce stared following the maze of madness fighting thugs and solving puzzles, after solving it he landed on a zip line and started making his way to the 25th floor of the west tower, " so you've made it to the end of my little carnival ride. unfortunately you're supposed to be dead by now" joker said over the speakers as he laughs before it dyed down, " will you excuse me while I just go shoot the architect. come here .... you little....." " boss please, don't AHHHHHH". Bruce made it to the overview seeing Gotham below him, the wind pushes past him making his cape blowing in the air. he takes a deep breath before climbing below the overview making it to the vents that lead him to the middle of the room, he takes out his hacking tool and hacks the camera before looking around the room where he saw some of joker's men holding some men hostage. " the bat ain't showin' up. you alright if we ice these guys?" one of the thugs asks his friends as he got his gun ready. the man surged his shoulders before saying " yeah, what the hell, let's do this". the hostages shake in fear as the thugs walked closer to them, then one of them turned to face two thugs who were near the glass wall at the edge of the overview. " he says we can kill'em" he said to them, one turned to face him and pointed at a news helicopter the was outside " I know but guys, look I'm on tv, hi ma" he said as he waved to the camera attached to the helicopter. then another thug walks up to the window and said "hey Vicki, c'mere. baby get a shot of this!" he then sticks his middle finger up at the helicopter. Bruce puts his hacking tool away and takes out the thugs before freeing the hostages.
Bruce walks up to the smashed window and grappled up to the 28th floor on the east tower, once he was inside he stood still in shock, what he saw was not normal. the whole room was covered in wires and bombs that were covered in snow and Christmas decoration, as well as snowmen. Bruce slowly walks past the bombs and over the wires that were scattered every was, " I've never seen anything like this. " Bruce saw a big-time counting down until new year, " these bombs are set to detonate December thirty-first. I should be able to disarm them with my cryptographic sequencer". he gets to the timer and started hacking as he hears jokers voice over the coms, " oh no! you found my snowman bombs!". after a while the bombs timer stops, Bruce looks up at the timer, waits, then.......... 20 seconds remained ! " hahahahahaha oh you just couldn't wait till new years? huh? guess the fireworks are going off early hahahahahahahah!" Bruce looks around for an escape but could find anything. 10 seconds remained. Catlin looks around the room on the hotel cameras and yelled out " Bruce the window jumped!". Bruce turns to face the window.
