Who really gets the work done?

Mar 17, 2011 21:21

Hey, listen up. I'm gonna shove some healthy, perfect competition in the oligopoly of superheroes of Gotham. I'm gonna let this city know that I'm the solid alternative to the Batman Inc.

Question: how do you stand out against a rival who's forceful, beloved and secretive?

Answer: easy, advertisements and better offers.

Gordon slams his coffee mug down on his desk.

"Sir, are we..."

He cuts off the officer with a furious glower. "You're damned right we're stepping in. Get a signal trace on. Get Gotham electric on the phone. See if they can trace any unusual activity. If this is being simulcast, it's going to be using a heck of a lot of power.

"I'll be on the roof if anything new develops."

Red Hood waves fingers at the camera.

[Applauses for the Flying Todds!]

"Hi Gotham. We've three special guests tonight. Three businessmen who work very HARD the whole blessed day to provide fresh drugs to all of your children and to put underage whores at every corner of this fucked up, rotten city. I literally had to DRAG 'em up here tonight..."

The camera frames three fat motherfuckers in fashionable clothes now. They're standing on the top of a box, tied one to the other, their necks into loops.

Gordon throws the switch and an instant later, the floodlight, with its stylized bat-symbol, lights up the sky.

He'll wait 30 minutes. Then he's going to see what headway his own people are making. And maybe call on Barbara.

The bat lands silently in shadow only minutes after the signal goes up. "I saw," he says as he walks toward Gordon.

Jason. Oh god. Jason, what has happened? This isn't the boy he raised. It's not even the angry young man that came back from the grave. He doesn't know what's going on, but he has to find out. He has to stop him from becoming a murderer on live television.

Psst! Damian is supposed to know Jason/Red Hood already.

In Battle For the Cowl, Jason (as "Gatman", a gun-toting version of Batman) shot the boy. In Batman & Robin Reborn (#1-5, I guess?) Dick and Damian, as Batman and Robin, fought Red Hood and his sidekick Scarlet.

"Bwat-m-a-n...!" Carrillo hugs Batman's leg. The gangster wraps his arms around the Caped Crusader's muscular calf like a shipwreck victim would cling to a life preserver.

[Whose is this show?!]

[WHOSE IS?!]

Red Hood lowers the gun.
He lowers the gun and fires, straight into Carrillo's trunk.

[Whose is this BLOODY show?!]

broodingbat April 3 2011, 19:58:10 UTC

Maybe it was the movement of the cape. Or perhaps Carrillo's attempts to climb him made the difference. What ever the reason the shot just grazes the makes ribs and back, It will be a nasty flesh wound, but at this point it's of no concern at all.

Slurred speech. Unfocused eyes. What if the dead man's final action hadn't been random? Even as he's musing that, Batman is ducking, firing the tranq darts who know won't make it through Jason's armour.

angry_robin April 8 2011, 15:45:44 UTC

He dives forward and dukes the first and the second dart. The third one sticks into his costume stuffing. Who cares? Didn't even feel that. He rolls, is on his feet again.

Red Hood lunges onward, at Batman.

[Fuck the strategy. Fuck EVERYTHING! Let me...]

"THEY'RE GONNA DIE ANYWAY! AND THERE'S SHIT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!" Jason yells. He's not even shooting anymore, he just wants to...

[... LEMMETOUCHYA!]

broodingbat April 8 2011, 16:54:01 UTC

No! Damnit! Why can't Jason listen to him just this once?! But that's how they got here. Jason hadn't listened, he'd left chasing his mother. But.

But if Bruce had said something else. TRIED something else....would he have left? It's something that has eaten away at him since that day. That horrible day. When he failed.

He wouldn't fail today. He wouldn't!

One last dart. it's in his hand as Jason closes with him. The Bat dances, dodging narrowly, letting the young man close. Let he feel like he's gets some hits in. That shot to his jaw is only a graze. Just. A little more.

Then he's moving, pulling the dart, trying to jab it at the tiny seam between helmet and neck.
