Your favorite family of oddballs

0:02

is back. In doom patrol season

0:04

four, the team travels to the future

0:06

and must decide once and for all which

0:08

is more important. Their happiness or

0:10

the fate of the world. DC's doom patrol

0:13

season four part one is now

0:15

streaming on HBO Max.

0:19

Batman: The Audio Adventures.

0:32

Where am

0:32

I? Where are

0:33

you? What kind of question

0:36

is that, son? Father? You

0:37

didn't fall asleep. Did you bruise?

0:39

Mother, mothers. It's

0:42

dark. Well, it is a movie theater,

0:44

Bruce. Welcome to the Monarch Field. Sit

0:46

back and enjoy the show. Oh, no. Bruce,

0:48

settle down now, dear. It can't be. A

0:50

cartoon short, the starting Bruce. Who knows

0:53

what evil dwells in the heart of

0:55

the dark of the city? One alone,

0:57

the fender of the night. Look

0:59

in the shadows. All the rooftops.

1:02

Dispected. It's a shade. It's

1:05

bad night. August

1:08

due to this consolidated cartoons presents

1:10

backlight in the Thomas

1:12

and Martha Wayne

1:13

murders. Wait. What

1:16

is this? What's happening? I

1:17

saw the bike bike commissioner go down.

1:19

What can I do to cross the city's malefactors

1:22

tonight? Oh, bad boy. Final.

1:24

I need you to escort the Wayne family

1:27

from the Monarch Theatre, Ru

1:29

cry Valley. And when I get back,

1:31

I'd better not find them in a puddle

1:34

of

1:34

blood. Is that clear? You can

1:36

count on any commissioner.

1:37

No. What's wrong, Bruce?

1:39

Something that matters. Yeah. Sitting a

1:41

man over here, see? What?

1:43

You'll hope. I'll get on a screen

1:45

back. What's a

1:46

man? Don't you like the cajun? This

1:49

is happening. This didn't happen.

1:51

Yeah. Patrick president have gone all

1:53

screwing here and Bruce's Dean, haven't

1:55

they? It's just Scratco's

1:57

theater, of course. But

1:59

don't worry. Just like I told

2:02

the commission, I got everything

2:04

on the Alright. Choose

2:05

mugs. This is a stick up. Yeah.

2:08

I'll take that necklace you're wearing late. Save

2:10

us backlight. Never fear. Backlight

2:13

is here. I invented I

2:16

am judgment. I am right

2:18

to stress this. I am originally

2:20

from upstate, but small tab life doesn't

2:22

really suit by style. So a few

2:24

years back, I sold everything I owned,

2:26

and I bought a van. And I said, if you don't

2:28

do this

2:29

now, you're gonna wake up one day full of regrets

2:31

that night. Yeah.

2:36

See you around, Sally.

2:41

What what is this? Don't

2:44

you dare say the wait.

2:49

Hey, Lucy. It looks like you were right.

2:51

It looks like your parents are daisyful

2:55

again. This isn't happening. Focus.

2:58

This is just convulsions and your subconscious.

3:02

So so me. I just invented

3:04

to that I know, baby. If

3:06

you're so sure, you could do a bit

3:08

again. Well,

3:08

Thomas, that cartoon was dreadful. I've

3:10

seen enough

3:11

I agree Martha, gather Bruce,

3:13

and let's leave discreetly. We'll use

3:15

the exit onto the alley.

3:16

You're about to get your chance to

3:18

prove it. Gotham,

3:21

an oil slick on the road to salvation.

3:24

Join us now for another tale of life

3:26

and death in Gotham City. March

3:28

eighth. Bruce Wayne is lost

3:30

in the midst of his mind and at the mercy

3:33

of the scarecrow. Meanwhile,

3:35

the Penguin mounts an aggressive effort at

3:37

damage control. His fearsome reputation

3:39

eroded by imprudent ambition.

3:42

Without Harvey Dint, he stands to

3:44

lose his grip on the underworld. And

3:46

without the Joker's head on a pike, will

3:48

lose his precariously situated influence

3:51

over the police department. Oswald

3:53

CABELVOT has badly miscalculated. And

3:56

his only hope is that catwalk can

3:58

adjust the final tally. Arkem

4:02

asylum for the criminally insane,

4:04

superintendent of operation, Dr.

4:06

Jeremiah Arcum has a problem.

4:08

Nurse, has anyone seen the new

4:10

nurse? He came into work today to find someone

4:12

had changed the entry code to his office.

4:15

This is irritating but not unusual.

4:17

The security keypads are known for their

4:19

glitches. The unusual part

4:22

is when entered his code incorrectly.

4:25

The basement of the asylum's flooded.

4:27

And every time he enters his

4:29

code incorrectly, The

4:31

water rises another twelve

4:33

inch. That does it. Doctor

4:35

Arcum knows well, and a problem of

4:37

this nature has

4:38

one. And only one possible source.

4:41

Riddler. Question.

4:43

Where did Noah find a leak of

4:45

the answer? In the bottom

4:47

mother's r come Not

4:53

funny. Not funny. You what's not funny.

4:55

I put the room in a sanatorium. This

4:58

dump is clearly a sanitarium.

5:00

Do you think I would notice?

5:04

Their synonyms with different Latin

5:06

roots. Why do I think you'd get that? You're

5:09

a plug in from a diploma mill. How is

5:10

it every time I take away your

5:13

privileges, life gets harder for

5:15

me. Well, the military terms

5:17

that's called getting your ass kicked

5:19

on the battlefield, Jeremiah. Is

5:21

it really that hard to understand? I'm

5:24

getting I know that it is. What's it gonna take?

5:27

Tell me. Well, you'd have to go back to

5:29

school and attend a real college

5:31

this

5:31

time. And then what you

5:33

mean? About me?

5:34

You know, I thought I'd taken everything that I could

5:36

from you. Well, you certainly

5:38

try. Indeed, alone

5:40

in a bare cell, Ridley is bound

5:42

tightly in full restraints. Double

5:45

straight cruff to a gurney,

5:47

legs in irons, unable to

5:49

even scratch his

5:50

nose. It's a nigh unbearable

5:53

suppression of basic personal freedoms

5:55

that is known in the asylum as

5:57

full Joker Protocol, and still

5:59

you escalate the Juggernaut. Now

6:01

I realize I've taken everything except the

6:03

only thing you care

6:04

about. The true meaning of Christmas.

6:06

Your precious intellect.

6:08

Wait. What are you saying? I'm saying three hundred

6:10

c c's twice daily of a hallow paradigm

6:12

diagram content will have you struggling

6:14

to finish the junior crossword puzzle.

6:17

In me clocking out at a decent

6:19

hour for once. You wouldn't yeah. You're a

6:21

talk term. Yes. But you know what I finally

6:23

realized? My job is just to turn

6:25

you into a FECTABLE CITIZEN. NOBODY'S

6:28

PAY ME TO DELIVER YOU UN

6:30

DAMAGED.

6:30

RIDDLER IS MOMENTARILY WITH THAT A

6:33

READY boss. Where is that

6:35

nurse?

6:36

I'm sorry doctor. Finally, give me

6:38

the syringe. I'm sorry he's coming to

6:40

this ad word. Well, no one not.

6:42

I'll admit it, this is personal. And

6:44

ever since I made this decision, I

6:46

felt an indescribable lightness

6:49

and

6:49

serenity. Nurse, I said,

6:51

get me to sedative. If

6:52

you say so, doctor. What are you? Doctor

6:54

Arkham manages to cling to just

6:56

enough consciousness to realize.

6:58

You're not

7:01

nurse. Before crumpling to the flooring.

7:04

I'll be honest. I have no idea what I just

7:06

shot him with or how long he'll be out. So

7:08

let's make this quick. Okay? I have a favorite

7:11

desk.

7:11

Well, well, well, what

7:13

has ears like a cat and

7:15

claws like a cat and

7:18

rude tooth like a cat isn't

7:20

a cat. Oh, shut up, Eddie. Well,

7:23

this is unexpected. Do I have something

7:26

with the toilet is an antique,

7:28

but I don't think it's

7:29

malleable. I told you, I need a

7:31

favor, and I don't have a lot of time.

7:33

I came down here in a simple little

7:35

errand to reallocate some resources. To

7:37

steal something? Don't even call it

7:39

theft. It offends my professional integrity.

7:42

I just need access to doctor ARQM's

7:44

personal

7:44

files, which should be like taking

7:46

candy from a baby. Instead,

7:48

I get here to find What

7:50

did

7:50

you do to his security system anyway?

7:53

Oh, it's a tangled mess for certain.

7:55

But like most hopeless puzzles,

7:57

it has an o, so elegant

7:59

solution if one carefully

8:01

considers the clues. It'll

8:04

be this. I have no form,

8:06

no face or feature Sure. Nope.

8:09

Not doing the riddle

8:09

thing. Oh, come on. I'll

8:11

figure it

8:11

out myself. Thanks anyway. How is

8:14

the lady of the catty? Is not the

8:16

fun one at the park? Are you

8:18

going to tell me how to disarm your ridiculous booby

8:20

trap or

8:20

not? And what could you possibly have to offer

8:22

me as an incentive? Well, riddle

8:24

me this. Which side of the

8:26

cat has the most for her.

8:29

What? The

8:34

outside. You look pretty uncomfortable

8:36

in those restraints ready. I have a

8:38

car waiting. It'll take you anywhere

8:41

you want to

8:41

go. You must be getting time hired

8:43

of the padded cell hotels.

8:45

I escaped this dump all the time.

8:47

What makes you think I need your

8:49

help? I

8:49

don't know, Eddie. It sounds like if you stay

8:52

under arkham care, you're need help with a whole

8:54

lot. Starting with basic

8:56

drool maintenance. And what's in

8:58

arkham's office that's so important

9:00

anyway.

9:00

Evidence bag. Listed contents,

9:03

one switch played, one deck of playing

9:05

cards, red suits only,

9:07

one high voltage joy buzzer, sixty

9:10

nine dollars and counterfeit three dollar

9:12

bills.

9:13

Sixty nine dollars. What a hack?

9:16

What's your interest in that professional

9:18

lowest common

9:19

denominated. Just the price on his head.

9:21

Well, now you have my interest.

9:23

Arcum's file boxes contain everything that

9:25

Joker had on and when the Batman first brought him

9:27

in.

9:27

Bunch at Therese. What could you possibly wanna

9:29

do with that. Nothing. I'm interested

9:31

in the one item doctor Arkom conveniently

9:34

forgot to catalog. A

9:37

personal journal. Get out.

9:39

Filled to the margins with

9:42

deeply personal secrets.

9:43

Good god. You don't mean. If I'm

9:45

going to hunt him down, I need to get into

9:47

his head. To get into his head.

9:49

I need the Joker's Secret

9:50

diary. The deepest, darkest

9:53

secret thoughts of the Joker late bear.

9:55

Surely Pandora had less to fear from her

9:57

box. Stay tuned, as we

9:59

lift the lid on a future tale

10:01

of life and death in

10:03

Gotham

10:03

City. Having

10:09

already grabbed Gotham City? Yes. It's spent Tuesday

10:11

in that meeting. The gotham gas plants

10:13

returned to town for this crucial series

10:15

with central city. Central city

10:17

owner, lucky, Buckeye Sawfield,

10:19

very rich strained on the mound

10:21

today. Dude, I almost wanna say he

10:23

looks spooked. Something has gotten into

10:25

him for sure. We'll probably never knew

10:27

what. Anyway, today's game brought to you

10:29

by Oswald. Couple pots,

10:31

fabulous ice bound lounge,

10:33

and casino. If you know what's good for you,

10:35

you'll play the cowboy way. The ice

10:37

bound lounge, as well, cowboy doesn't

10:39

ask twice.

10:42

It would be Basil Carlos last

10:45

film and became a notorious place in

10:47

the animals of history and

10:49

the study of criminal insanity. The

10:51

film was titled The Second

10:53

Skin.

10:54

Hey.

10:54

Yeah. I know Bruceie. You

10:57

again. Who knows?

10:59

You are just a construct of my

11:01

mind, a fantasy made

11:03

of psychedelic chemicals and

11:05

surplus brain

11:06

architecture. Oh,

11:07

are we getting poison on now?

11:09

You are the contents of my

11:11

mental waste basket. Doubt

11:14

regret,

11:14

pain. You are nothing but

11:17

broken pieces of defeated

11:19

enemies. Nothing.

11:20

Hey, come on. Can nothing

11:22

do this? Come

11:25

along, Bruce. We're leaving the theater

11:27

or cut through the alley. No.

11:30

Oh, yes. Movie

11:32

night is Oh, and

11:34

that means it's almost

11:36

show time. Father, no,

11:38

don't do it.

11:38

Yes, Thomas. Let's go through the alley.

11:40

Alfred's waiting with the car. Let's so

11:43

go to the rally. Let's

11:45

go to the rally. Let's

11:48

go to the rally. Not

11:54

the Ally mother. Not again. Yes,

11:56

Bruce. Again. But

11:58

this time, you can save them.

12:01

Unless, the fear

12:03

consumes you again. Be

12:08

something you're the vet.

12:11

Let's all go to kind of

12:13

happy. Today is so wiry

12:15

thing.

12:20

So this is it. Crime,

12:22

Ellie, gee, I wonder

12:24

why they Cool.

12:24

Alright. Nobody moved. This is a sticker. Okay.

12:27

Thank

12:27

you. I got no further questions. I'll take

12:29

that necklace

12:29

you're wearing, lady. Leave her alone.

12:32

You. Like, bro. This is the chance you've

12:34

been waiting for. You should bet my

12:36

junior crime fighting

12:37

kids.

12:37

Yes. I have to What is

12:40

this? What's

12:42

it better? When it really counts all

12:44

your precious toys, I just use junk.

12:48

My

12:50

boy, run. You gotta

12:53

hide. That mother was looking to

12:55

finish the job. Don't you feel

12:57

the fish?

12:58

Yes. I have I have to

13:00

run. I have to to

13:03

get it

13:03

in there. You have to hide.

13:06

You'll be after you.

13:09

You're entire white.

13:13

Unless you do something.

13:17

Maybe in here. What

13:18

is this place? It's

13:20

a cave, I think. Perfect

13:22

place to hide? Yes. I

13:24

can hide in the cave.

13:26

Boy, where you hiding? But if you

13:29

find you, what time?

13:31

That guy is a wing killing

13:33

machine. Boy, Audi.

13:35

To really feel safe, you'll

13:37

need a disguise.

13:38

Here, take this. Okay.

13:41

This is a game. Exactly.

13:43

Nice fit, but I still

13:45

see Bruce under there. You

13:47

better take this mask too. Family

13:50

we go? Kaifing. Nobody, whatever,

13:52

guess you're away. You got the

13:54

cape. You got the mask. Congratulations. You

13:57

look really ridiculous.

13:59

Ridiculous.

14:00

Completely absurd, but at

14:02

you. Bah. I shall become

14:04

a bat.

14:05

What a shot. You're the

14:08

end of the weighing legacy. What would

14:10

your father think?

14:12

Father would be proud of me

14:15

of my mission for Gotham

14:17

City. My father was a

14:19

fighter. Think your father was

14:21

a doctor, Bruceie. He

14:23

lived by Doo know him.

14:25

Not exactly your info.

14:27

Mister Benjens of the night, You

14:30

crippled way more people than hate them a

14:32

say. No. What would your dear old

14:34

mama think of this dark thing you

14:36

made yourself into? She'd

14:38

blame herself, of course.

14:40

What a dope she

14:42

was. She thought she taught

14:44

you kindness. No.

14:48

Boy, I thought you were afraid of the

14:50

mother, but we found what

14:52

you were really afraid of. Didn't

14:54

we Bruce? You're

14:57

afraid you disappointed them.

15:00

You're afraid you've dishonored

15:02

them. And

15:04

you're right, Brucey. It's

15:07

kind of funny when you think about

15:09

it. Ever since that night

15:11

in the alley, you've been trying to do

15:13

right by old mom and dad

15:15

to be the justice they

15:17

never got, but

15:20

get this Your

15:22

entire life's work.

15:25

All it's done

15:27

is

15:28

turn you into some think your

15:30

parents could never love.

15:33

No. No.

15:42

Gotham, where foul play

15:44

always scores the run.

15:46

Join us now for another tale of life

15:49

and death in Gotham

15:50

City. Forbes, tell him

15:52

a heads up over in Gotham Heights.

15:54

Because that one is out of hand.

15:56

Sold out Gotham's stadium on a

15:58

bitter cold march evening. Perfect.

16:00

Gotham City baseball win.

16:03

TONIGHT A HONKA FOR TWO TIME

16:05

WINTER LEAGUE CHANCE, THE GATHERINE

16:07

GASLIE AS THEY FACE THE DOWN

16:09

AND DIRTY DEMONS OF CENTRAL

16:10

CITY. Star slugger's

16:13

SWAT Flashack has hit his first

16:15

homer of the nut. Unbelievable. And

16:16

one more armor will break the league

16:19

record. The crowd goes wild.

16:21

And the penguin crows knowingly to the various

16:23

nefarious gathered in his luxurious

16:25

box seats.

16:26

See, what did I tell you, frenchie?

16:29

Swatfly shaker is

16:31

hot tonight. Wow. Yeah.

16:32

Funny because it sure looks like it's the

16:33

picture who sweats. So I feel bawling again,

16:36

Namap sweat from his brow. Very sweaty

16:38

for a cold night, isn't it? Oh,

16:40

old lucky, bucky sawfield. Or

16:42

indeed, must have a lot on

16:44

his mind. Wonder

16:46

what it could concern. I

16:49

told you the fix was in.

16:51

Over here boy, who did

16:53

sustenance? I'm positively depleted.

16:56

Maxi. Well, you got a weenie

16:58

old boy. That's one,

17:00

homa, or swelled, you promised us

17:02

two. I got long green at stake. Enough,

17:04

but you're peaceful. Patience. Tonight,

17:06

your lucky night boys. Let's

17:08

die subdue always fall

17:10

luckily. That's still.

17:12

Bidding on double taters is very risky

17:14

as well. Stop

17:15

fidgeting, Maxie. You eat your hotdog like a good

17:17

little God. Trust me. There's

17:20

plenty of game left. The fix

17:22

is

17:22

in. But despite his ample

17:24

assurances, it's now the bottom of the ninth,

17:26

and SWAT has yet to hit that

17:29

second

17:29

dinger. Strike three in Hobart

17:31

is adamant. Lucky

17:33

Bucky is on fire, and I think

17:35

the crowd has sour delivers it. That

17:37

they have in room.

17:40

Here comes the central city mask out. Speeding the

17:42

demon dog or rubbing it.

17:45

Speeding the demon

17:47

dog feeling pretty jesty. You have

17:49

sense of Lampi, the gas lamps mask out. Lampi would

17:51

never have tolerated this kind of

17:53

disrespect from a visiting mascot and may he

17:55

risk him

17:56

how. Yes. The demons have taken the

17:59

swagger out of the hometown team.

18:01

And the confines of the Penguin's

18:03

private box is no sanctuary.

18:05

From the pessimism of the crowd. Last chance for

18:07

that Homer approaches citizen

18:09

cobble pot. Drummer,

18:11

gentleman. Drama. We

18:14

have to make it look good.

18:16

Don't we? And what a great finish

18:18

this movie for the

18:20

fans? One for the ages. You'll see. We

18:22

better see Oswald. It would go a

18:24

long way to restoring my faith in your,

18:26

let's call

18:27

it, prominence. What's that

18:30

supposed to mean? It

18:34

means you are stretched thin

18:36

and everyone knows it.

18:39

Was that effect. Too much on your

18:40

plate, they say, taken over the police,

18:42

the merger would dent. Why is there

18:44

any way Oswald?

18:47

I got you crunchy crack attacks at the groin.

18:50

My mind seems

18:52

speedy. The demon dog is the only

18:54

one feeling chesty tonight.

18:57

A frenchie old

18:58

smoke. I think a tail feathers are dragon

19:00

aussie and you're lucky the bat is

19:02

busy with the scarecrow. You're

19:04

gonna try to tell me I'm

19:04

I'm going to try to forget you

19:07

said that frenchie. I

19:09

pick the windows and looses in this

19:11

town. The fools that forget

19:14

that? Those aren't the

19:16

winners. Old b. And

19:18

next up on deck for the gas plants.

19:21

What? Life hacker. Firework.

19:23

Get your free firework. Did

19:25

she say free firework? That's right.

19:27

Happy Marty, everybody. Free

19:30

fireworks for

19:30

everyone. Get to firecrackers. Get

19:33

to roaming candles. What

19:34

the devil is this? It's Harley

19:36

Quinn and her crew decked out

19:38

in full Mardi Gras regalia and

19:41

distributing pyrotechnics to the rowdy

19:43

crowd by the fist.

19:44

I say clown woman, What's the devil do

19:46

you think y'all doing? Hi there, Tuxedo

19:49

Bandida. What's it look like I'm

19:50

doing, Mac? It's Marty, grown. I'm

19:52

here to bring the bed.

19:54

You can't

19:54

give the crowd explosives. There's a

19:57

game

19:57

going on.

19:57

Oh, do not worry about that,

20:00

Pali. I told everyone wicked

20:02

seriously to no matter what way

20:04

till the game was totally over before

20:06

six months. How

20:09

do you like that? Always one wise

20:12

guy. Right?

20:12

And flight checker steps in. Folks, this

20:14

could be for the game and the league

20:16

record. The famously distractible spot

20:19

flightshacker can't let the moment get to

20:21

him.

20:21

Come on, you, guys.

20:23

What did I say? What what did

20:25

you think was going to As burbles with

20:28

agitation, SWAT Fly Shacker steps out

20:30

to the plate swinging the famous

20:32

slagger up. And Harley's eyes

20:34

light up like a slot is

20:35

she. That's a

20:36

bat with the magic fields.

20:39

What steps up

20:39

to the plate? So

20:41

much is riding on this woman. This

20:43

is Harley's thought precise.

20:46

Mine. Now Softgel

20:49

winds up, and a pin.

20:51

What a meatball. Slowing over the plate plate

20:53

I could dig in it.

20:56

Stinger. Right. One moment.

21:00

Focus, you clear here. But the louder it gets in

21:02

the stadium. The quieter it gets in

21:04

Harley's hand. This isn't.

21:07

Now begins. The Harley queen

21:10

egg. Folks, it may

21:12

have hard to see through the snow. The central

21:14

city picture seems a brave to come off a

21:16

mark and sweat, playsheck, it seems

21:18

days. What's going on down there? Well,

21:20

I think he just got in there by

21:22

a female crowd. That is what's

21:24

happening, Steve. A female whale is

21:26

going absolutely gas house gorilla

21:28

on the slugger with his own bed.

21:30

Well, I think we can call the head streak

21:32

in fifty nine games, dude. What

21:34

is not gonna play the next game?

21:37

The ball to the crowd

21:39

is now on the field detonating

21:41

its flown lives and at least one

21:43

hotdog carte is on fire move.

21:45

Okay. There's definitely a propane

21:47

tank on board this. He's gonna need to

21:49

monitor that. Closely. But first oh, boy.

21:51

The clown has thoroughly tenderized

21:53

watch plays out of it and has now turned

21:55

a furi on speed even

21:58

though. City basketball. We're

22:03

gonna say she's dating on

22:05

eleven speed. Oh, but not

22:07

behind burning hotdog, my noble. Get out of there and

22:09

get crazy fucking ass.

22:15

The dog

22:15

is gone in his place, a

22:18

gentle rain of sausages.

22:20

Thus concludes the

22:23

harlequinade. An irreverent

22:26

intermission amidst life and

22:28

death in Gautam City.

22:33

Where are we now? Practically nowhere.

22:35

We're so deep inside your mind

22:37

now, Bruce. It's miles in

22:40

f a redirection. And I

22:42

thought your house was ridiculously

22:44

big and empty. Hello?

22:46

Was that a tumb sweet,

22:50

oh, classic. You know what? The

22:52

cowboy movies when the good guy is just

22:54

a little bitty speck on a horse in

22:56

the middle of a huge desert.

22:58

And it caffeine is empty, and

23:00

then he loses his horse. You

23:03

just lost your horse game is

23:04

epic. Why

23:05

is it so empty? Well, this

23:07

is where norm people keep

23:10

happy memories, Bruce. You

23:12

know, loving and laughing and

23:14

learning a little something along the

23:15

way. The stuff that makes us human.

23:18

So You

23:18

do the

23:19

math. You lied. It's easy math, Bruce. It's

23:21

a lot of zeros. That's not

23:24

true. Alfred, Robin,

23:27

Jim Gordon, Harvey Dent. These

23:29

are not zeros.

23:29

No. Okay. Harvey's a point

23:32

five. Come on, Rosie. Don't kid

23:34

yourself. I end it for Bruce Wayne

23:36

died in the alley with his

23:37

parents. What lived on is a bitter and

23:40

sadistic bag of barely adequate

23:42

golfing mechanisms.

23:44

Couldn't have said it better myself.

23:46

Look, I'm sure this all made sense when

23:48

you were ten years old, you know, the

23:51

back mobile, and the bad computer. whole

23:53

plan must have seemed like a totally

23:56

reasonable way to deal with

23:58

grief. But now You're nothing

24:00

but a broken man who has tailored

24:02

his fear into a mask tied

24:05

behind. What a sad

24:07

spectacle. And girlfriend,

24:09

I am here for

24:12

it.

24:14

That laughter, that Glee.

24:18

Who are you

24:20

really?

24:20

Uh-huh. I'm the bat my

24:23

chief. Don't you read a

24:25

Gazette. Don't you own the

24:26

Gazette? You're not a

24:27

newspaper cartoon. You don't

24:30

want me to know who you really are. What are you

24:32

even talking about? Browsy,

24:34

you're on drugs.

24:36

Like,

24:36

literally, you're on drugs. You mock

24:38

my mask, but you wear

24:41

one too. What are you

24:43

hiding? Oh,

24:47

brosy. Si.

24:50

What a let down. I thought

24:52

for sure you would a guest by

24:54

now. No idea who's

24:56

behind the mask. No. No

24:59

idea who's taken up employment

25:01

and residency in yet.

25:04

No clue about the fear

25:06

that motivates everything

25:08

you Take off the mask. Don't you wanna

25:11

guess? I am ridicule and

25:14

delirium. I'm malicious

25:16

humor. I have depraved and difference to

25:19

reason. Why don't we ring any

25:21

bell? Take

25:22

off a mess. Oh, Come

25:25

on, Bruce. You should know this

25:27

one. I'm all you

25:29

can ever think

25:29

about. Twenty four seven.

25:33

You.

25:36

No. You. Don't you

25:39

get it? I'd

25:42

be you. Rules except I

25:44

know I'm insane. That's

25:48

why you wear the mask rules

25:50

because you can't bear to

25:53

look at your own face in the

25:55

mirror. Nothing scares

25:57

you more. Because if you

25:59

ever scrounged up a courage to look at your

26:01

own true reflection, you

26:03

know? You would

26:05

see the joker staring

26:08

back at you. Two a

26:10

wood kind. Two

26:12

and a million. Twice

26:14

can be nice. So double

26:16

the trouble. A

26:18

will bear. No

26:21

sale. You're

26:24

wrong. The mask is in my

26:25

fear. It's yours. It's

26:28

theirs. Any who pray

26:30

on the week If I have to

26:33

sacrifice my humanity to safeguard that of the

26:35

innocent people of Gotham, this

26:37

does not scare me. But

26:39

yes, I feel fear

26:41

to live is to feel fear.

26:44

The will to live is

26:46

just fear of death. Amen.

26:48

Bruce, Let's keep it frosty.

26:51

Yes. Fear is my constant

26:53

companion. I felt the power of

26:55

my fear that night in the

26:57

alley. I felt it clenched like a

26:59

fist in my chest, a fist

27:01

of fear. I'm sensing I

27:03

pushed you too hard. Let's

27:05

Then I learned to strike with it.

27:08

Now that fist cracks bones

27:11

and loosen

27:12

teeth. Don't you

27:15

know. You

27:18

can beat

27:19

me. But you're just causing

27:21

yourself a pain. And don't

27:23

you know that's how I

27:26

win. My pain is

27:28

your pain. My fear

27:31

is your fear.

27:44

Call home.

27:48

Alfred. Can you Lost

27:50

it. Alfred. Good. My

27:52

implant is still transmitting. I

27:54

don't know how long been out. I'm in a hospital bed,

27:57

somewhere, unguarded. Sir,

27:58

you

27:58

must come back at once. It's

28:01

too fierce. How

28:01

did you, like, come across me?

28:06

Alfred, a chaotic scene

28:08

at GasLog Stadium. And the probable end of

28:10

the gas lamp season.

28:12

Is this

28:14

package arrived for you, sir?

28:16

It is

28:16

from mister Angie Blake and

28:19

mister Maxi Zusser, security

28:21

open downstairs. And

28:23

I'm to open it now

28:25

It was delivered with urgency,

28:28

sir. Do

28:33

you know what this is, mister de Gander? It

28:36

is difficult to identify

28:38

with

28:38

confidence, sir. Indeed, it is.

28:41

Especially when it's in this many

28:43

bloody pieces, it is

28:46

a

28:46

penguin list of the gondolas.

28:49

That dead. Hang

28:52

on. I had already prepared the

28:54

downstairs meal locker to receive gifts,

28:56

sir. Who shall I bring to

28:58

you

28:58

first? Mr. Loop or

29:00

Mr. Blake, no, Mr. Decando.

29:03

We're beyond that

29:05

now. This isn't an

29:07

insult that's answered few

29:09

broken thumbs. This

29:13

is mutiny.

29:15

Anything they foresee weakness. I'll

29:19

give

29:19

them a show of force.

29:21

I don't want their

29:24

spirits broken. I

29:26

want their spirit burned

29:29

alive in a ceramic skill.

29:31

I want their defiance

29:34

reduced degrees asses.

29:36

I want the flames

29:38

of hail imported directly

29:41

from the shore. Do you mean

29:44

Yes, mister Decando, extended

29:46

in petitions for Santa

29:48

Briskin Cartel, told

29:51

Epilogue. Albert, Harvey,

30:13

Robin, come in. You copy.

30:15

The house is empty. Where are Alfred and

30:17
