Surprised how low this went for in the bidding - mind you, I'm not complaining.

Synopsis: In a parking garage in Gotham Midtown, the Joker carries a bag to his newly upgraded Joker limo. The Joker hops in, orders the driver to take him to Ace Chemical, and the two chat. When Joker finds out that his driver, Abe, has lived in Gotham all of his life, Joker muses that seeing the city like this must be nice. Mr. J then proselytizes about how the city is waking up, how Gotham is freeing itself from the childish fantasy of Batman that has shackled it for years.
When Joker arrives at Ace Chemicals, Punchline calls to inform her boss that both Batman and Harley Quinn are loose. While Joker walks through Ace Chemicals killing every single one of his henchmen, he tells Punchline that this only means that they’re ready for the final act. Mr. J then gives the order to fill up the theaters, as well as put a bounty out decreeing that he’ll pay $1,000 a head for every dead body brought to him.
Meanwhile, Batman meets with Red Hood, Dick Grayson, Signal, Orphan, Batgirl, Spoiler, Red Robin, and Harley Quinn on a rooftop. He apologizes for having pushed the family away for so long, and he asks that they all work together to take back Gotham City from the Joker. The team disperses, with Batgirl heading to the Clock Tower to coordinate efforts from there. Before Dick Grayson leaves, Batman tells Dick that he’s grateful to see him again. Bruce then offers Dick his old Nightwing uniform, as Dick wasn’t wearing it.
Outside the office of Graves, Willock, and Crain, the legitimate front for The Underbroker, Catwoman, Riddler, and Penguin prepare to pull a heist that will steal back Joker’s fortune.
Batman arrives at Ace Chemicals. As he’s walking into the chemical plant, Harley grazes him with a bullet. The two exchange words, with Harley telling Batman that she means it when she says she’s going to put down the Joker for good. After their words, Batman leaves a sobbing Harley behind, heading into Ace Chemicals alone.
Inside the plant, Joker surprises Batman with the reanimated corpse of Alfred. Before Batman can react, Joker gets the jump on Batman. Dressed in a Jokerized Batman suit himself, Mr. J taunts his foe.
“See, Bruce. I promised,” Joker says. “You’re not ready for this at all....”
