Prologue

"Ahhh..." Joker groaned as he grabbed for his aching head. He looked around a bit before realizing that he was in a bed at the Arkham Asylum Medical Center. "Batman..." He whispered as he started to think about the events that had happened earlier that day...

-X-

Joker had kidnapped Mayor Hamilton Hill a few hours earlier. He threatened to kill him if the police didn't meet his demands or tried anything "funny". Eventually, Batman found where Joker and his men had set up shop, saved the Mayor, and beat the stuffing out of Joker and all his men. Like always...

He saved the Mayor, was praised by Gotham as a hero, and all that other heart-warming crap... Joker thought to himself before smiling. Batman will pay for this... And I know just the right punishment.

Joker quietly rose from his Hospital bed and ran towards the door. He then opened the door and disguised his voice before shouting, "Joker's escaped!"

As he heard a guard coming his way, he hid behind the half-opened door and waited. When the guard came rushing in, Joker jumped on top of him and began striking him in the head with his fist. He continued until he had beaten the guard to death.

He cackled before taking keys from the deceased guard. Then, he ran out of the room.

After traveling through a few hallways and killing a few more guards, Joker finally came across the Arkham Asylum Exit. He used the keys he had acquired from the first guard he killed to unlock the main door. Then, he turned the door nob and walked out of the Asylum.

As he began to walk further out of the Asylum, he could hear sirens blaring.

"AN INMATE HAS ESCAPED!" Joker heard many of the other guards yell.

When he knew he was out of sight, Joker turned around to see many guards investigating the area. He laughed before yelling, "I think it's about time I visit the Bird Boy in Jump City! HAAHHAHAHHHAHHAH!"

As Joker turned back around to start walking, he saw the Bat-Signal stretched across the blood-red Gotham City Sky.

"This time, Bats, Joker will have the last laugh!" Joker then began walking towards the streets of Gotham.
