Guys I need help. gently caress. gently caress gently caress gently caress! I killed Robin. Fucker fell right in front of me on the street and went under the truck. Didn't have a chance to react. Musta been swinging around and lost his grip or something. If Joker finds out he's gonna kill me. The Bat will kill me. Cops can't protect me. Anyway, I panicked and beat the poo poo out of the body with a crowbar and tossed it into the sewers. Hopefully, the Bat thinks Joker did it.

Dude, don't TELL me! Cuz now I know! And if Joker or Bat or whoever finds out I knew and didn't say nothin', then it's MY rear end. poo poo, I ain't no narc, but... poo poo man! poo poo! I gotta do something! Oh man, we're screwed!

Yeah, well you're not gonna like this. I went back to grab the body and hide it better and it was gone. Maybe we just shut the gently caress up and let everyone assume the bird lost his nut and flew the coop? He was always a little hosed in the head if you ask me.

Anyway, there's a new guy recruiting a team for some job, could be cool. Want me to ask if Red Hood has room for one more?

Are you sure it was the real Robin and not one of those kids who dress up in an outfit and hang out on rooftops? I swear, I actually feel sorry for the poor schmucks. Seems like every week, you hear that another one is street pizza because they were trying to parkour over roofs, climb a lasso, or, poo poo, probably some of them just slip off a fire escape balcony. You ask me, Batman's responsible for all those deaths but no, we're the bad guys here.

You dumb sheep. There’s no such thing as a Bat Man! I can’t believe you’re letting the elites of Gotham scare you like this!

Those thugs that got beat up last week? They were beaten up WITH the Bat Signal being on, not BECAUSE the Bat Signal was on.

They want you scared, so’s they can control you, but me? I did my own research. There ain’t no Bat. No reason to wear this henchman mask.

Hey, did you hear something?

Look, I admit I ain't no angel. Robbed a few people, did a few heists, broke a few kneecaps, doin' what I can to keep the ribs from meetin' the backbone, ya know? An' usually workin' for that Joker is a hoot. I mean, sure, he's a nutcase, but the pay's good and he makes me laugh. Even without the gas sometimes.

But that last heist, you know, in that lab, it made me worried. Why would Mr. J want a cannister of aerosolized Kryptonite? And why would he order us to take it straight to the clown gas factory? Even I could see what direction that was headed.

So when the Bat showed up, it was kinda a relief, you know? I mean, I'm a loyal guy, but secretly I was glad to take one to the chin rather than go through with ... well, with the world gettin' its poo poo punched in by Superjoker. Crazy villain or no, that's just a bridge too far.

Man. Maybe I need to rethink my life choices.

Oh man, you guys aren't going to believe this. You remember Big Jimmy, right? Skinny little guy? Yeah, that's the guy. Anyway, I stayed in touch with him a bit after he left the gang 'cause his mom's kinda hot, ya'know? He and I'd get together for a few beers now and then,. Anyway he ended up working for Clock King, or as he put it, "apprenticing." Jimmy was bringing the guys coffee for six months and really thought that made him a criminal genius. Last I saw him he was leaving Gotham to, and I quote, "strike fear into the fearless city of tomorrow."

So I just got a letter from Big Jimmy and sure enough guy's doing a spell in Stryker's. Get this; guy put together a crew and his first "intricate heist" was just robbin' a bank. In Metropolis. Downtown Metropolis. In broad daylight! With dynamite and everything! They was rifling through the vault stuffin' money into bags, when Big Jimmy feels a tap on his shoulder, and ... what? Yeah! They totally did have big dollar signs stamped onto the bags, how'd you know? Yeah, Big Jimmy was that stupid, wasn't he.

Anyway he's doin' five to ten but the best part? The absolute best part? It wasn't even Supes that took him down. Naw, Supes took one look at Big Jimmy from the fuckin' moon or whatever and decided he didn't need to bother. Big Jimmy's gang was taken down by Superman's dog.

Batman just kept choking him, man, with no expression on his face. Just kept saying, “Stop resisting” every once in a while.

Yeah, he died in the ambulance on the way to Arkham. But of course, Batman doesn’t kill. Oh, no, never.

I think i spend most of my time in dimly lit alleys doing very obvious drug deals just waiting for something bad to happen,it’s like an addiction to me,i get a kick out of being the first one to spot someone jumping the rooftops above us or in the few times we’ve knocked bats out being the one to get electrocuted by trying to take his mask off.

Everytime.

Boys, I've been a henchman for almost 10 years, and I haven't gotten away with whatcha'd call a successful crime the whole time...excepting maybe a crime of fashion? Look at these loving tights!

Did you guys know Bernie Madoff stole over 60 billion dollars? Billion! And did it without making his henchmen dress up like they worked at the circus. They probally got to wear Armani or something.

Why don't WE ever try white collar crime? Betcha Madoff never made his guys bake bombs into birthday cakes to take a opera house hostage during the Gotham centennial celebration.

It took us nearly 4 days to get the recipe right, and I lost some good friends when one of the ovens exploded. I asked Mr. J if we could maybe just buy some cakes and hollow them out and put the bombs inside, but he got real mad. Turns out he wanted to disguise himself as a pastry chef and make a joke(?) about how his cake recipe was so good your taste buds would explode...it didn't really land, but I guess Mr. J is used to being the only one in a room laughing.

Natchurally, in swoops the Bat and defuses our bomb-cakes and bam, zap, pow, sends us all back to the prison medical wing. No joking boys, the nurses there see me so often that when I get rolled in they just start writing my medical history on my chart without asking me about it. All patting me somewhere I'm not bandaged: "What'd the caped crusader do to ya this time, hon?"

And for what? So the boss could threaten to blow up a bunch of innocent people if the city didn't give him 10 million dollars? 10 million? Even if it had worked, he only would have netted 6 million after salary, health care, bomb materials, baking supplies, party favors, confetti, etc. And sure, I done some bad things, but I didn't want ALL that blood on my hands if the bombs had gone off later like he planned. If you asked me now if I'd blow up 500 people to have $200,000, which mighta been my cut, the answer is probally no. I guess I just get caught up in the excitement of his plans?

So now I got CTE, a permanent limp, and my neck don't turn to the right no more from all the times the Bat has beat me up foiling the boss's capers, and I can barely afford my painkillers.

The Bats never broke all Madoff's ribs kicking him through a window. In fact, pretty sure Bats didn't even know Madoff was a crook! Probably because all the crooks he knows wear colorful costumes and have crazy accents and gotta advertise their crimes before, during, and after. Madoff didn't get caught by "the world's greatest detective," it was the IRS or something, and it took them like 20 years.

I know the boss always blames our problems on the watchu-call brilliance and tenacity of the dark knight, but at some point maybe we all need to look in the mirror and ask: Am I my own Batman?
