[ EU ] Batman turns evil and starts committing crimes rather than stopping then . The Joker realises that in order to remain Batman 's antagonist he must turn good and become a hero .

Even the best of us have a dark side. And for Bruce, it was no different. 
 Sure, his recent actions could be described as questionable at best. But who's to say he was n't just up to his old tricks. 
 
 Bruce sighed and continued down the alley. He was too old to care anymore, and it was time for payback, not too mention a decent paycheck. 
 
 Just as he rounded the corner, that ugly grin peered out from the darkness. Dammit. He knew that grin from anywhere. 
 
 “ What do you want, Joker? ” Batman seethed. “ I don ’ t need your shit today and you know as well as I do that I don ’ t have time for your games. ” 
 
 “ What ’ s wrong, Batboy? Have you finally decided it ’ s time for a little fun? ” Joker cackled. Batman brushed by him, ignoring his comment, and continued on his path. 
 
 “ You know you won ’ t follow through, Batboy! ” Bruce heard Joker howl as he ducked into the swinging, cracked door. 
 
 Joker knew better than to push Batman too far. Should Batman actually follow through with it, Joker would become an.. ugh, he couldn ’ t even say it. An accomplice. The instigator. The one who finally brought Batman to the dark side. 
 
 He saw Batman before he heard the explosion, and already knew it was too late. Batman had done the unthinkable. He had killed for pleasure. 
 “ This is just too much madness, even for me, ” Joker thought to himself. He had to put an end to it. Only the Joker could bring on chaos. NOT Batman. He decided then and there that there was only one way to go forward. He would beat Batman, but not through evil. 
 
 He may not be the hero Gotham wanted. But he sure as hell would be the hero Gotham needed.
