Joker's Story
Alarms blare through the halls of Arkham Asylum as a doctor grabs a microphone. Sewage is seen being pumped out of Arkham. In the waters, a purple fingerless glove bursts out as the Joker's laugh echoes through the night. He then starts running while laughing. It suddenly cuts to a bar where a group of criminals is seen playing snooker. They all turn to the man. They all look at each other. The man takes his hoodie off, revealing Joker. The Joker pulls a knife and points it at the criminal's throat. Joker casually points at the other two with his knife.
 * Doctor: Attention everyone, be alert! Patient A15 has escaped his cell! I repeat, the Joker has escaped his cell!
 * Criminal #1: So, have you heard the news?
 * Criminal #2: What news?
 * Criminal #1: Couple hours ago Joker escaped Arkham.
 * Criminal #3: Yeah, heard the guy who was meant to watch him was found with his guts ripped open.
 * Criminal #2: Considering who we're talking about, I wouldn't be surprised if that was true. I heard he killed a man because he called him ugly.
 * Man in Hoodie: That's true.
 * Man in Hoodie: Aren't you gonna ask how I know?
 * Man in Hoodie: I see...
 * Joker: You've heard that one already!
 * Criminal #1: Oh shit.
 * Joker: Tell me, who am I?
 * Criminal #1: You're the Joker.
 * Joker: Wrong, next.
 * Criminal #2: You're the... clown prince of crime?
 * Joker: Wrong, next.
 * Criminal #3: You are a crazy clown bitch.
 * Joker: Wrong! I'm the future king of Gotham! and I want you to be my knights!
 * Criminal #3: What? there's no way I'd--
 * Joker: What were you saying?
 * Criminal #3: Uh... nothing...
 * Joker: Good. Now, what about the rest of you?
 * Criminal #1: We are in.
