Batman: Gotham Knights

You lunge towards the Joker and knock the pistol from his hands. He growls and swats at you, but you quickly duck... allowing Harley to smack Joker hard with the mallet.

"Oooh, Mistah J!" Harley shrieked, "Umm... sorry?"

"Don't say sorry!" The Joker shot back, "Look out behind-!"

But before he can finish his sentence, you've clubbed Harley. She's down for the count. The Joker rolls away from your crouching kick and grabs the pistol once more, holding it to Jeremiah Arkham's head.

"Move one step, Bats, and I shoot."

"You'll shoot anyway. I'm moving."

"This is to keep you in check, you idiot! You're not supposed to move! You have NO respect for the classics!"

With that, the Joker lifts his gun and shoots you in the chest. Luckily, there is a kevlar/steel plate on your chest. You smile and lunge towards the Joker, punching him once, twice, and finally three times in the face.

The Joker and Harley Quinn lie unconscious in the trashed office. At that same moment, finally, the GCPD arrive. They rush into the office and handcuff Harley and the Joker. He awakens and looks directly at you.

"You win again," he says with a smile, "But no matter! I'll be back again, kid. We'll all be back. You can't get rid of us forever... we MAKE you what you ARE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The Joker and Harley are carried away by the guards, leaving you and Gordon alone.

"Is he right?" you ask Commisioner Gordon.

"No." Gordon sighs, "They don't make you, and you don't make them. Good, evil, and everything in-between... they just are. They just exist. At least that's what I believe. You can't change that. Just the way of the world."

You look at Gordon for a moment and then you give a smile.

"Thanks, old friend." you reply, shaking his hand, "I think I'll head home now."

"Godspeed then, Batman." Gordon smiles, "Rest easy. You deserve it."
