A/N: I am sorry that this took so long! I promise it won't happen again. For all those who waited and reviewed this story, here it is! The conclusion! I hope it isn't too anticlimactic!

The other Jokers stared at the newcomer with dumbfounded looks on their faces. This was not a part of the plan.

The Joker walked toward the four men his evil grin still in place.

He stopped about a foot from them.

"Well?" He asked, expectantly.

Carl looked terrified and completely confused.

"Well what?" Ben responded angrily.

The Joker got right up in his face.

"Why aren't these imposters tied up yet?" He said with a deadly sneer.

"How do I know they're the imposters?" Ben boldly queried.

The Joker walked over to the other Jokers, who had remained speechless.

"Simple," the Joker snorted.

He reached toward the taller of the two "Jokers", and ripped off his green wig before anyone had time to react. Carl and Ben grew more infuriated as it dawned on them that they had been had.

The Joker again reached over and relieved the other "Joker" of his wig.

"Gentlemen, allow me to introduce Nightwing and Robin!" The Joker shouted with a dramatic bow.

While the other men recovered from their shock, The Joker reached into his coat pocket with a satisfied smirk.

He turned back toward the Dark Knight's proteges.

"Goodnight, boys." He said and pulled out canister and doused them in its contents.

Well, that didn't go the way I had planned , Nightwing thought as he drifted into unconsciousness. Bruce is going to kill me.

"Wakey, wakey!" The Joker cackled gleefully.

Robin opened his eyes and squinted at his surroundings, already listings the possible escape routes. Nightwing stirred beside him. I am going to kill him! I told him this would never work and now we are both in trouble. Robin glared at the now fully conscious Nightwing, causing him to wince. I'm sorry, Nightwing mouthed apologetically.

The Joker cleared his throat loudly and both heroes snapped their attention back toward him.

"Since you are both finally awake, I can decide what the best thing to do with you two would be." The Joker tapped his chin thoughtfully.

"Hmm...it has to be humiliating..." He mused.

Nightwing cringed inwardly, he knew whatever the Joker had planned would be unpleasant.

The Joker snapped his fingers.

"I got it!" He shouted with a broad grin.

Robin twisted in his bonds, testing their strength. His efforts proved useless, whomever had tied them up had done his job well. He didn't foresee an easy way out of this one.

The Joker leaned down toward as if sensing Robin's intent.

"I only have more thing to say to you two," he said with a conspiratorial grin on his face. "Gotcha!"

Robin and Nightwing shared a confused look between them before again looking at the Joker.

The Joker started to laugh as if he had just told the greatest joke in the world.

He reached up and removed his wig and wiped off his makeup with his sleeve, revealing the broadly grinning face of the Batman.

Nightwing and Robins' jaws dropped. They had not expected the night to end this way.

Shocked looks, however, soon gave way to sheepish ones and both boys sighed in defeat.

"All right, Bruce," Nightwing stated sheepishly as Batman untied them, "you win."

Batman chuckled and helped both young heroes to their feet.

"Never try to pull one over on a detective," he said, "because he will always get you first."

That was the first time Robin had ever seen the Dark Knight look smug.

One day, he told himself with a grin, we will get him back.
