On Apping into maskormenace

[thebatbutler]

Dearest Mundane,

I suppose we are past the stage where you might consider reason over tossing me into another one of your games. While I do agree that they certainly haven't been entirely horrific in the past, I can't say I'm looking forward to what you've planned for me this time around. However, I do appreciate your attempt to ensure that I'll have company in my new home and I most certainly look forward to seeing Master Bruce again.

Kindest regards,

Alfred Pennyworth

Bruce seems like a nice guy. A bit of a downer, but he means well. Shame he isn't around in my universe.

[Eyebrow.]

I'm sorry, sir. Do I know you?

[jokester_not_joker]

Not exactly. I'm the Jokester. Where I'm from I've got to deal with a menace to Gotham and fashion named Owlman.

I do know the Wayne family though. When a supervillain wants to mail your various organs to the police commissioner you tend to learn the guy's name. Commissioner Thomas Wayne is a good guy, but being a good guy in Gotham means you've got a target on you.

I suppose it should be something of a comfort to note that Gotham itself never seems to change. [Sarcasm]

Although I must say that your version of the city seems to have some significant differences.

[jokester_not_joker]

Not just the city. The entire world is flipped from what you know. So it's even worse than you think. A guy with poor fashion choice and some fancy gadgets is one thing, but people like your Superman and Wonderwoman are on his side too.

[thebatbutler]

Ah. That is most unfortunate. I presume there are also those who fight against them?

Along with myself there were three other people. Riddler, Threeface and my darling daughter Duela.

Didn't hear anything out of the other cities so I'm guessing if there were others they weren't feeling chatty.
