It was.
There was a huge panel with a woman's face on it. Now where others were crying out about her bizarre face make-up, Ashitaka was calm and collect.He had seen women with faces of white rather frequently in his home world. What he didn't connect with was her rather insane context and then the four people bound and gagged. He looked shocked and appalled when she withdrew what looked like some weapon.
"Where is that!?"
"The TV station's been hijacked by some maniac!!" some hysterical man screamed behind him. Ashitaka turned to him, seeing people in fear and alarm, other not paying attention, some looking on in amusement, even pleasure. While taking ( ... )

It was then that the screams were heard. A ripping sound as the silver band was torn from her mouth. Ashitaka watched in horror as the odd looking weapon was jammed into the woman's eye, apparently it was a auger of some kind. It spun and sent her eye-matter flying in all directions. Her screams were piercing and perhaps ones that might stick with the prince for a while. He hated the sight but he couldn't look away... at first.
"Let's go, Yakul!" He tugged on Yakul's reigns and started off. "Tell me where!!" he yelled to the green man.

It had been a day or so since Crane's encounter with Nightwing, and he had been spending as little time in the base as he could- now that he had taken action against one of the 'good guys', he had decided it was best to stay low, to avoid contact with those who knew him as much as possible.
He just wanted a little peace. Was that too much to ask?
Apparantly, it was. That voice, her voice was back again, only much worse than before, since the maniacal (and oh-so-shrieky) giggles were now being broadcast in the open air at a painfully amplified volume. Crane stopped walking across the square and, annoyed, began seeking out the source of the noise. It didn't take him long at all.
There she was- Harley Quinn- on a giant screen, jamming a powerdrill into a woman's eye.
"You have got to be kidding me."

They enter, some wearing cheap clown masks, some with nylons pulled over their heads, others just wearing their usual ugly mugs. The men are, of course, armed and they continue to infest the place, prowling around off screen to take captive any studio management (that are still living). None of the personnel are killed but they are held at gun point to keep the cameras rolling.
The henchmen are not accompanied by their boss, but he will be making his presence known shortly.

The girl was still screaming though they were turning into sobs as the pain subsided. The man kept his eyes locked on Harley's. He was trying to plead with those eyes alone. She ripped off the tape on his mouth and wiped the drill bit off on his shirt.
"Please, don't do this. You must be a sensible young woman, you don't have to do this!" He said in a calm voice, though she could see the fear in his eyes. Harley shoved the drill in his right ear and faced the two other people tied to the left of him. Her smile didn't waver as she squeezed the trigger and pushed in hard. He screamed even louder than the woman as the drill entered through his ear canal, past his skull and into his brain ( ... )

As much as he might hate to admit it to himself (and he would never admit it to her), this was... fascinating. The blatant terror in the captives eyes, the swell of fear and panic in the crowd around him as the events on the screen unfolded- well, in a word, it was irresistable.

Brainy spotted Ashitaka, and then to his right, behind him, another one of the armed henchmen. He extended his right arm and grabbed him by the scruff of the shirt, slamming him down into the ground. His body reached his arm, and he reached for both weapons, crushing them. "Criminals." he paused, considering them, and dropping the scrapped guns. "Clown themed criminals." Where had he heard of that motif before?

He didn't stop there. His combat was brutally efficient, and just plain brutal. It was obviously the wrong time of day to mess with the Bat. He didn't kill though, of course. He swept away weapons, dodged bullets, and generally just did as much nonlethal damage around him as humanly possible. He was doing a fairly good job when the other two arrived on his floor. Without breaking stride he simply took them for advantage.
"...The instigator of all this mess is one floor below if my calculations are correct. As you don't look like the rest of this rabble, I'm assuming you're here to help. Fine. There's plenty to go around. Now start ( ... )

In the behind-the-scenes hub of the studio, the phones light up. Caller on line three! A masked minion the size of a wild rhino nudges his hostage with the end of his micro uzi and growls an order to air this call. It's done and a new voice drips from the speakers, filling the airways. The frightened staff might breathe in relieve knowing that someone from the outside world is making contact and addressing the crazed woman with the drill, until they hear what their caller has to say...
"Well, well, Harley. Don't you just look scrumptious." The voice is weird and much too calm. Much too playful. "I happened to catch your little after-school-special and thought it'd be fun ( ... )

"I'm all for it, Puddin'! How do we play?" She stepped back a bit but still took up the entire frame. Her cleavage was very prominent in the shot... that's how she liked it.
"Your boys are whispering about some studio guests. Are they going to play too?" She had no idea who the guests were but she was aware of them and knew that they were coming to crash her party. If she had known how adorable they'd be and that one of them was the famous Batman, she would have made snacks!
