“You see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little…push" - Joker

The Joker finally did it. He killed Jason Todd. That was all it took to push Batman over the edge. The immensely guilt-ridden Batman had turned his sorrow and regret into pure rage, something the Joker didn't expect. The Batman would become a cruel, ruthless vigilante, and made it his ultimate goal to kill the Joker.

In his furious rampage to find and kill the joker, Batman had killed hundreds, if not thousands, of men and women who stood in his way. The city was against him. He was fallen hero, deemed a mass-murderer, and a madman. As a result of his actions, forcing Gotham to turn into a police state to control the situation. The Batman would become Gotham's ultimate villain.

The Joker didn't like that. He missed the old Batman - the one who would give his life to protect the people of Gotham. He missed the days when he would have "fun" with Batman, toying around with him and watching him suffer. They were supposed to be destined for each other.

But now, things weren't right. The Joker realized that this "Batman" wasn't the Batman that he loved. 
He had to stop this. He wanted the city to revert back to what it was before, not this hell-hole police state the Batman inadvertently created. He wasn't going to run away anymore. He would face the Batman, and this time, there would be no more fun and games. He would kill the Batman, as much as he didn't want to.

But he had to. He never would have imagined it. For once he, The Joker, had to save Gotham.




This is for the Twist Fate contest of 2016. Not my best work (actually it might be), but I have a few things I dislike about this piece.
I saw the prompt for the contest, then I looked at the submissions. NO ONE did Batman and Joker. So I thought I would be the first...

Anyway, I learnt a lot while making this, and I hope you guys like it!
