[ WP ] A cartoon style Villain goes up against a ruthless Anti-Hero . How does it play out ?

“ MUHAHA— ” 
 
 Devin jabbed Eugene, stunting his laugh and bursting a bubble of blood from his isosceles nose. 
 
 “ Dude! What are you doing? ” said Eugene. He stumbled to the wall behind him. “ You didn ’ t let me finish my laugh. What were you thinking? Stick to the script. This is all wrong. ” 
 
 Devin cocked his arm. “ Nothing ’ s wrong here, ‘ cept you. ” 
 
 “ Listen, ” said Eugene. He squinted, trying to make out his assailant from the single light bulb at the end of the alley. “ Go grab some coffee. Made even a hot dog. You ’ ve got time. I haven ’ t even planted the dynamite yet. ” 
 
 Devin clocked Eugene again. “ You think I ’ m just gon na let you get away with this? ” 
 
 Eugene peeled his cheek off the brick. “ What is your problem? Of course you ’ ll stop me. But you ’ ve got to let me set the scene first. Build some danger. Form a crowd. If you don ’ t like eating alone, get your love interest down here. I ’ m sure she ’ d love see you save the day. ” 
 
 Devin heaved Eugene up to look him in the eyes. “ Look. I don ’ t have time for this. I ’ ve got a strict thirty minutes per criminal, and you ’ ve already soaked up half of that. It ’ ll take at least ten minutes to dump you at the station. That leaves only five for the best part. ” 
 
 Devin threw Eugene into some loose trash. Devin slid a crowbar out from the depths of his black trench coat. “ You ’ re the first stop of the night. I can ’ t afford to get behind schedule. ” 
 
 Eugene scrambled to get up. “ But, but, you ’ ve got ta hear my plans. They ’ re totally diabolical. You ’ d be disgusted. How will the reporters know what to put in the papers? ” 
 
 “ Love to, but we ’ re outta time. And my little friend here ’ s been itching to get out all day, ” said Devin, slapping the crowbar. “ I can ’ t disappoint him. ”
