The public election.

That's the only reason that this might fly.

But that means it's on you.

They're all going to come after you now.

And not just the mob.

Politicians, journalists, cops.

Anyone's whose wallets are about to get lighter.

Are you up to it?

You better be.

'Cause if they get anything on you,

then those criminals are back on the streets

followed swiftly by you and me.

[police sirens]

[Joker card: Will the real Batman please stand up?]

- I think your fundraiser will be a great success, sir.

- Why do you think I want to hold a party for Harvey Dent?

- Well, I assume because your usual reason for socializing

beyond myself and the scum of Gotham's underbelly

you could try to impress Miss Dawes.

- Yeah, very droll

but very wrong, actually, it's Dent.

TV ...be aware, the image is disturbing.

JOKER Tell them your name.

- Brian... Douglas.

[child-like voice] Are you the real Batman?

- No.

- No? No?

[laughs]

Then why do you dress up like him‽

[laughs]

Woo-hoo-hoo!

- He's a symbol...

that we don't have to be afraid of scum like you.

- Yeah...

you do, Brian, you really do.

[Brian whimpers]

Yeah...

Oh, shush shush shush...

So, you think Batman's made Gotham a better place?

[Brian mumbles]

Hmm?

Look at me.

LOOK AT ME!

You see, this is how crazy Batman's made Gotham!

You want order in Gotham.

Batman must take off his mask

and turn himself in.

Oh, and every day he doesn't,

people will die.

Starting tonight.

I'm a man of my world.

[laughs]

[Brian screams]
