*                 Opening                  *
********************************************
Batman: I'm getting an
emergency signal
from Gotham
Air & Space.
*****************************
Guard: Who the--?
Stay back!
Woof: GRRrrr...
We're Jokerz, Pal.
Say 'G'night'!
********************************************
*                 Level 1                  *
********************************************
Batman: Bruce, you read me?
Something's going
down at Gotham Air
& Space.
I'm going to check
it out.
Bruce: Be careful, Terry.
That's strange,
that lab is only
Research and
Development.
There's not much
a common thief
could do with any
of that.
Batman: I guess we'll
find out.
*****************************
Jokerz#1: I heard he's
planning to make
all of Gotham City
into--
Jokerz#2: Shhh...
You never know
who might be
listening.
*****************************
Jokerz#1: How much longer?
I'm getting bored
just standing
around.
Jokerz#2: Keep your shirt
on.
I'll tell you what
I do know, this is
not like any job
we've ever done.
We're really
aiming high this
time.
*****************************
Jokerz: Holy Cow!
It's Batman!
What do we do?
Bonk: Calm down.
I'll take care of
Batman.
Keep working!
You got a death
wish, Batman?
Come on, just try
and stop us!
*****************************
Jokerz: Uh-oh, Bonk.
We busted the
console.
Bonk: Wh-What?!
You're useless!
You blew it!
Jokerz: Well, we got the
memory board....
Bonk: I guess that'll
have to do.
Let's get out of
here.
********************************************

********************************************
Bruce: Rough night?
Batman: You know the
Jokerz are going
in for Splicing
now?
A crazy Hyena-boy
nearly took a bite
out of me.
Bruce: Well, it seems
like the Jokerz
have a new boss.
Terry: Third time this
month they stole
high-tech
components.
What are they up
to?
Bruce: It's the Jokerz
so they can only
be up to no good.
*****************************
Chucko: Batman showed up
so we had to ditch.
Joker: Uh-huh. And?
Chucko: We busted the
console so we had
to leave it.
But we got the
console's memory
board.
I know it's not
much but--
Joker: It's not much?
It's nothing!
You losers.
Now old Joker will
have to try.
I'll stage a
comeback at the
Wayne Enterprises
building and
distract security
while you steal
what we need.
It'll be a blast!
*****************************
Bruce: Ladies and
Gentlemen,
it's a pleasure to
see you all again.
As you know,
I've resumed the
leadership of
Wayne Enterprises
and I hope to--
Joker: Hello, Gotham City!
Joker's back in
town!
Bruce: Joker?!
It can't be!
Oh, no, your old
eyes do not
deceive you,
Brucie.
After all, who'd
know me better
than you?
********************************************
*                 Level 2                  *
********************************************
Terry: Bruce!
Can you hear me?
He's not
answering.
I've got to get
him out of there.
Barbara: Terry, can you
hear me?
It's Barbara.
Terry: Barbara, Bruce is
in trouble.
Barbara: I know.
I moved all the
guests to safety.
But the Joker has
Bruce.
Hurry!
Terry: I'm on my way!
*****************************
Joker: The building is
ours!
I'm king of the
world!
Ha ha ha!
Jokerz: Everything is
proceeding as
planned, Joker.
*****************************
Joker: How's the other
team doing?
They better do
the job right
this time.
Jokerz#2: They've disabled
the security
system.
Anything Wayne
Enterprises has is
ours for the
taking.
Chucko will get
what you need,
count on it.
*****************************
Joker: So you're the new
Batboy, eh?
I heard you
stopped my boys
last time.
It won't be so
easy now.
Woof: Grrrr!
Joker: Woof, he's all
yours!
Keep him busy
until Chucko gets
the part we need.
*****************************
Chucko: Boss,
I got the
component.
Joker: All righty then!
Let's go, boys!
As for you,
Batfake, I guess
you win the grand
prize:
old Brucie
Wayne himself!
Ta-ta!
********************************************
*               Cut Scene 2                *
********************************************
Terry: Heck of a night,
eh, Bruce?
The Joker looks
pretty spry for
a guy who's gotta
be in his
mid-eighties.
Bruce: ...
Terry: Bruce?
Did you hear me?
Bruce: I heard you.
Terry: What's on your
mind?
Any theories?
Bruce: Drop it.
Just drive, Terry.
Terry: Yes, SIR.
********************************************
*                 Level 3                  *
********************************************
Bruce: Where are you,
terry?
Terry: In Arkham Asylum,
Bruce.
When you were
Batman, you put
all the worst
criminals here,
right?
Bruce: Terry, that was a
million years ago,
there's nothing
left there now.
Get back to the
cave.
Terry: The Joker spent
years here.
I may find some
clues--
Bruce: Terry, get back
here NOW!
Terry: Okay, okay,
but this place is
a wreck, there's
no threat here.
*****************************
Jokerz#1: What's the boss
want in a spooky
place like this?
Jokerz#2: Memories, I guess.
He used to live
here.
*****************************
Jokerz#1: Man, I don't
understand what
went on in the
heads of those
crazy oldtime
villains.
Jokerz#2: Me neither.
But we can sure
use some of the
stuff around here
to take care of
the Bat.
*****************************
Jokerz#1: So when does the
boss start the
fireworks?
Jokerz#2: Maybe there's
still a component
missing.
*****************************
Joker: You again,
Batfake?
Don't bother me,
kid, I'm
reminiscing.
I have such fond
memories of this
place.
In fact,
I BECAME a memory
here.
Batman: What do you mean
by that?
What are you up
to, Joker?
Joker: Ask the old man,
Batboy.
But you're
intruding, brat.
Young people have
no manners these
days.
Ghoul, teach him
some manners.
Ghoul: School's in
session, Batman!
Today's lesson is
about PAIN.
*****************************
Joker: Ooops, I guess
Ghoul is the one
who needs more
education.
Batman: Now it's your
turn, Joker!
Joker: 'Fraid not,
Batfake.
I just wanted to
visit my final
resting place
before I burn
everything to
ashes.
Batman: What do you mean,
"ashes"?
Joker: You'll find out
soon, Brat, but
not soon enough,
I'm afraid!
Ha ha ha!
********************************************
*               Cut Scene 3                *
********************************************
Terry: Bruce, I'm back.
Bruce, you here?
(Bruce is unconscious on the floor)
Terry: BRUCE!
What happened?
Who did this?
*****************************
Terry: Thanks for coming,
Barbara.
I didn't know who
else to call.
Barbara: Did you say you
went to Arkham?
Terry: Yes.
Joker was there.
He called it his
"final resting
place" and to ask
Bruce why.
Obviously I can't
now.
Barbara: He said that?
Terry: Yes.
Bruce has been
acting very
strange since
Joker reappeared.
What happened
between them?
Barbara: Some hurts never
go away.
You deserve to
know the truth.
It was forty years
ago...
Robin was out
alone one night
when he fell into
a trap.
When we realized
he was missing,
Bruce and I
scoured the city.
We pressed every
underworld
connection, but
there was no word
on Robin.
Then one night we
were sent an
invitation by the
Joker--
-- to the ruined
Arkham Asylum.
Joker had Robin.
Bruce and I were
able to save him,
but it was too
late.
Robin was never
the same.
Joker had altered
Robin's
personality,
creating a hideous
"Joker Junior."
It took a year but
we were able to
recover his
memory, restore
his sanity.
Bruce blamed
himself for what
happened.
He forbade Tim to
be Robin again.
Tim didn't like
it.
He felt he had
earned the right
to make that
decision for
himself.
Tim left soon
after that.
Tim now leads an
ordinary life.
He's a top-level
communications
engineer.
********************************************
*                 Level 4                  *
********************************************
Batman: Mr. Tim Drake?
I need to ask you
a few questions
regarding the
Joker.
Joker has stolen
several
components from
Gotham Air & Space
and Wayne
Enterprises.
I was hoping as an
communications
engineer you could
tell me what he
might be able to
do with them.
Mr. Drake? Sir?
He's a hologram!
********************************************
*               Cut Scene 4                *
********************************************
Joker: Good work,
Batfake!
You tracked me
down!
The disgruntled
Tim Drake is
indeed in my
employ.
Batman: What's your crazy
scheme, Joker?
Joker: Wouldn't you like
to know?
I guess it can't
hurt to tell a
caged bat what
else is flying
tonight.
This is one of
Uncle Sam's
orbiting defense
satellites.
A handy little
laser gadget for
shooting down
missiles --
-- or giving
someone a world-
class hotfoot!
Batman: You gained control
of it with a
computer you built
with the parts you
stole!
Joker: Ding! Ding!
Correct answer,
brat!
Tell him what he's
won, Johnny!
A sneak peek at
the giant smiley
face I'm going to
laser-carve into
Gotham City!
Batman: You're crazy,
Joker.
I'll never let you
get away with
that.
Joker: You're too late,
Batman.
Drake has already
provided me with
the communication
codes.
Just stay right
there and you can
be the first
cinder on the
block!
ha ha!
(The laser starts firing at Gotham City)
THEEEEEEE........
Batman: You counted me out
too soon, Joker,
but I'm not the
Batman you know--
as you'll soon
find out.
*****************************
Batman: The jelly bean jar
that Joker had was
from the Jolly
Jack Candy
Factory.
That's got to be
where's he's set
up his
headquarters.
********************************************
*                 Level 5                  *
********************************************
Terry: Bruce, can you
hear me?
I've located
Joker's hideout.
Bruce: Be careful, Terry.
He'll have plenty
of deadly traps
set for you.
Terry: I know, but I
can't let him set
fire to the city.
I'm going in.
*****************************
Jokerz#1: Does Joker have
full control of
the satellite?
Jokerz#2: He's working on
it.
The Computer he
built is amazing.
Jokerz#1: Yeah, and
Batman'll never
get deep enough
into the factory
to stop him.
Ha ha ha.
*****************************
Chucko: Leave Batman to
me.
You'll only slow
me down.
Jokerz: Okay, Chucko, he's
all yours.
*****************************
Jokarz#1: Batman is coming
this way!
How's the
Satellite coming?
Jokerz#2: No problem.
Gotham City's
goose is almost
cooked!
Jokerz#1: The police are
surrounding the
factory!
Jokerz#2: Don't worry.
The boss has
things under
control.
They'll never
reach us!
*****************************
Joker: Ha ha ha!
Now I control the
satellite.
There's no need
for Mr. Tim Drake
anymore!
Tim: Wh-What are you
doing?
Ughnnnnnn...
Joker: Now the fun
begins!
Ha ha ha ha!
*****************************
Batman: Drake!
where's the Joker?
Tim: Joker?
What are you
talking about?
Batman: Snap out of it,
Drake!
Tim: Drake? Joker?
...Oh no...
Batman: Drake, YOU'RE the
Joker?
Joker: Not quite, Batman!
I'm here in his
brain and he
doesn't even know
it!
Utilizing
top-of-the-line
genetics
technology,
I encoded my DNA
on a microchip and
set it into Tim
Drake's brain
forty years ago.
It took decades to
rewrite his
cellular makeup,
but now Mr. Drake
is Mr. J!
An my comeback
party is going to
set the town on
fire, Batfake!
Do you think
you're BatMAN
enough to stop me?
********************************************
*                  Ending                  *
********************************************
DOOO............M!!
Z............Z...............Z...............
Barbara: The laser beam has
stopped!
Go! Go! Storm the
factory!
*****************************
Tim: The nightly news
reported that I
was hurt helping
to put an end to
the Joker's plan.
And that both
Joker and Batman
have disappeared.
But you and I know
the truth, Barbara.
Barbara: It'll remain our
little secret,
Tim.
No one but the
team will know.
Tim: Terry, I owe you
big-time.
Bruce couldn't
have chosen anyone
better to put on
the mask.
Terry: Coming from you
that means a lot.
*****************************
Terry: Hey, what are you
doing here?
Bruce: It's where I
should be.
You saved
something precious
to me, Terry.
Thank you.
Terry: What can I say?
Being Batman gives
me a chance to
make a difference.
Bruce: It's not being
Batman that makes
you worthwhile,
Terry.
It's the other way
around.
Never tell
yourself anything
different.
*****************************
Bruce: Hello, Tim.
Tim: Hi, old man.
