You think you've heard every Batman story?

I promise, you haven't.

I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

And this time, curiosity almost killed this cat.

Shut it down, Grodd. It's over. You're finished.

No, I'm too close.

You will not interfere with my experiment this time, Batman!

Catwoman, don't!

Japanese and that's me

Samurai

stop listen to me. I don't want to hurt any of you

Fine have it your way

Explain yourself We were sent to find a man

dressed as a bat Our master has ordered us to kill him on sight.

He cannot be allowed to live.

Who's your master?

None of this makes any sense.

Everything's offline.

But from the look of it, this is ancient Japan.

Which doesn't explain what's going on up there.

The Joker?

That's right, Bax. It is I.

Damn you!

Hi!

And Harley Quinn.

Oh, but you have to admit, we really had you going there, didn't we?

That's enough. What are you playing at this time, Joker?

Haven't you heard?

Everyone's been calling me Dairoku Tinmouth, the Demon King, the most

man in Japan.

But you can call me Lord Joker.

Oh, I never really wanted to be a lord. It wasn't what you would call an

aspiration. But when life throws you time travel, sometimes you gotta make

travel aid.

Guess I have that monkey to thank for this. If it wasn't for his stupid

this tiny island would have never been on my itinerary.

I have to say I've really enjoyed the sushi here.

It's even better with some sauce.

Is it me or is it getting hot in here?

Oh, don't run away.

Don't you know how bad razor -edged fighting fans are for the environment?

You're the one who keeps throwing them. Because you won't let them hit you.

Looks like you're fresh out of those fans. So what are you going to do now,

Joker?

Seven to one. I'll take those odds.

I saw the Joker's samurai on the move.

I figured something was up. I'm glad it was you.

How did you get here?

Same as you, Gorilla Grodd's time machine. That was two years ago.

How is that even possible?

I downloaded these before the time jump. Maybe they can help.

Sir, what's your business, monkey?

Why have you brought us here?

Criminals of Gotham City.

I wasn't alone.

They were all there, too.

Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, and Robin.

So where are they?

I don't know. I haven't seen any of them.

But since arriving, Gotham's criminals have run wild all over Japan.

There are no more images. The rest are just audio files.

Grodd's machine must have affected the data transfer.

Well, it's all upside down.

I think that monkey has been mocking with our heads.

You will not interfere with my experiment this time, Pat.

So the Joker is just the unwitting beneficiary of Grodd's experiment.

Well, no one ever said he didn't thrive in chaos.

But we were there at the same time. Why the two -year difference?

Who knows how time travel works?

Grodd delayed me, and it must have affected the jump.

A matter of seconds then turned out to be two years now.

Selina, may I ask, what were you doing there that night?

I can tell you I never thought I'd end up here.

I followed Gorilla Grodd to Arkham to see what he was up to that night.

If it was any good, I was planning on stealing it.

And the criminals?

Like the Joker, they've taken over.

They have deceived all the Sengoku Daimyos and become lords of their

Sengoku Daimyo? That's right.

This period in Japan was a feudal era of warring states.

Yes. Each of Gotham's criminals is trying to conquer and unify Japan.

The Penguin has seized control of the state of Kai.

He skirmishes repeatedly with the neighboring state of Echigo, where

rules.

I'll bury you in the dirt, you old buzzard.

In the state of Mutsu, Deathstroke reigns supreme.

Once my fortress is complete, it'll be my turn to rank.

Yeah.

Two -Face has taken control in the state of Omi, near the capital.

He has become a vassal of the Joker.

What will my next move be?

But right now, the feudal lord who is closest to unifying Japan is the Joker.

So they're all trying to take over this country and rewrite history.

We have to find Gorilla Grodd. Have you seen him?

Not recently.

Why don't you and I join forces, Bruce?

Join forces?

I want to go home. Two years is a long time to be away.

Okay, but no tricks, Selina.

Swear. We just have to get into that tower.

Joker keeps Grodd's time machine in there.

This missionary look is not bad.

There were quite a lot of Christian missionaries that came to Japan during

era. This way you won't look too suspicious as a Westerner. The, uh, bat

is a nice touch.

Thanks.

So, why did you bring me here?

I wanted you to see this. The Joker is up to something strange.

Is that coal?

So the Joker's already changing the timeline.

The Industrial Revolution wasn't until much later.

I really doubt the Joker cares much about history.

My guess is whatever he's doing, he'll use it to become Shogun.

But it's not just the Joker.

We'll have to defeat all of Gotham's criminals to save history.

We'll need weapons for that.

If only there were someone who could help us.

Care for some tea, sir?

Much appreciated.

Black tea? Hard to come by in this neck of the woods. Hope you find it to your

liking.

Alfred.

It was Miss Selina's idea.

I do apologize.

It's a bit more rustic than you're accustomed to, but I think it makes for

suitable bat cave.

What?

I can't believe you didn't tell me, Selina.

I know, but I wanted to see the look of surprise on your face.

There's no need to worry. The vehicle's been well -maintained, Master Bruce.

But I don't understand.

Alfred was in the Batmobile that night. We were lucky enough to find each other

here. And we both figured it was only a matter of time before you arrived.

And here I am.

I think the Joker would be quite shocked to see you in it.

What's hope?

Well, I must confess that I'm quite relieved Miss Selina found you in the

forest. Master Bruce, I, for one, have always wanted to visit this beautiful

country, but I'd much prefer to do so in my own time.

Although I must admit, I've picked up quite a few new culinary ideas, and

there's a fish I rather fancy made with me, though.

I see you haven't changed at all, old friend.

I can't wait to taste this fish dish you've been talking about.

Didn't mean to brag, sir, but it is quite good.

I'm sure it is.

Get down!

What is that? I'm going after the Joker.

Selina, take care of Alfred for me.

idea. Nice try.

Oh, Batman, the old magnetized bumper trick. Always so clever with your

technology.

Madness.

give you a helping hand.

Now I'll crush your favorite toy with you inside it.

Not today.

Very persistent, my old friend.

Locked on target.

You know what I like best about you?

You're so predictable.

Favorite delicacy.

Not so fast.

It's over, Joker.

You're through.

No, I don't think you have that completely right.

That mother and child down below.

Your move.

That? No.

How did you guess?

Get moving.

I'll hold them off.

dumb. He's always risking his life to save ordinary people.

If you just let them die and gone after me instead, maybe you wouldn't find

yourself in such terrible shape.

I have no regrets.

Well, what shall we do now?

Are you just going to lie there or are you going to entertain me some more?

I am not here for your entertainment.

Ah, wrong again.

Now that all your toys are busted, you better start thinking what you're going

to do for a second act.

if only your friends were around to come by and say hi.

Who else made the time jump?

Uh, Red Hood and Robin, too.

But Red Hood is away on a recon mission to find out what's happening in the

other feudal states.

Alfred and Catwoman?

Don't worry.

Robin has already gone after them. They should be here shortly.

And him?

Batman, this is Aeon. He was a great help to us after we arrived here.

He's the leader of the Ninja Clan.

Ninja Clan?

We are the Bat -Clan of Heda.

Our lives are guided by an ancient prophecy.

Legend foretells that when the country is in chaos, a foreign ninja wearing the

mask of a bat will come and restore order to our land.

Bat -Clan, we have waited all our lives for this moment.

Serve this shinobi with your life.

This is the hour of our destiny.

Now we finally look upon you, great shinobi from across the sea of time,

Batman.

Looks like a nice place.

Yes, but for how long?

The Batmobile, the Batwing, the Batcycle.

They've all been destroyed at the hands of the Joker.

How do we regain the advantage when we have nothing?

Batman, Monkey Chi has a message for you. Monkey Chi?

It's weird, but Robin's made friends with this monkey.

He's really pretty smart, and he understands everything I say.

What is it?

He says he got it from someone in the mountain.

It's in English.

It's the Lord.

Oh, that feels good.

What is it about apes and humans that we always sigh when we relax in a hot

bath, Batman?

You might as well enjoy the waters, too.

No, I'm good right here.

I never would have taken you for the shy type, but then again, you are always

hiding behind the mask.

Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?

I'm guessing you didn't invite me here just to join you for a hot soak.

Such impatience.

Well, what did you expect?

We're only in this mess because of you, Grodd. Why did you invent that time

machine in the first place?

That's like asking why the sentient gorilla crossed the road.

Because I could.

The criminals of Gotham were my guinea pigs.

I was going to send them someplace far away so I could take over Gotham myself.

And I would have succeeded. The quake engine was my greatest invention.

But your interference brought us to this time and place.

How's that?

We are both responsible for what transpired that night.

And we will need to cooperate to get home.

What do you say, Batman?

I'll be the bait.

It's the best way to draw out the Joker.

Intriguing.

Well, it's been a while, my dear Gorilla Grodd. Looks like this place agrees

with you.

Hmm. Well, well, I know this isn't just a social visit.

Where's Batman?

Clearly you've no time for pleasantries now that you're set on conquest.

Oh, is it that obvious? It's the outfit, isn't it? Kind of gives it away.

Imagine this entire country in total chaos.

It's very interesting that of all humans, you're the one who wound up with

quake engine.

Oh, I'm tired of all this chit -chat, Grodd. I told you I'd spare your life in

exchange for the Batman.

So where is he?

Huh?

Right here.

We have you surrounded, Joker.

You sure do.

they all had to die so why don't you join them maybe

another time

your opponent.

Joker!

Just like you always do.

But how?

We killed you!

Ever heard of a decoy?

side with bats.

need help from a talking monkey to catch me. I'm so embarrassed for you, Batman.

Don't be.

I'm happy to disappoint.

Oh, I'd be careful. If he turned on me, he'll turn on you.

I'm so grateful we were able to trust each other.

Many thanks.

But in this world, trust means nothing.

Now, you will submit to my control.

Bat... clan destroy them all

we cannot be

taken by your evil thoughts we have mastery over our bodies and our minds so

do then prepare to be annihilated

You and Two -Face have teamed up, Gorilla Grodd?

That's right, Red Robin.

Don't you know Gorilla Grodd is always two steps ahead?

I'll sip!

No!

And to what do I owe this unexpected visit, Catwoman?

Oh, I thought you might want this.

Now, where did you get that?

I lifted it from Harley Quinn during our fight.

It's part of your fancy quake machine, isn't it?

And what do you want in return?

Take me back to the future.

It's a deal.

I thought we could do business.

We have to abandon ship.

Joker.

Looking for me, boss?

Don't do it, Joker.

We need to go.

She can't stay afloat much longer. Take the others.

Go. What about you? I'm staying. He's not getting away.

Oh, I'm really flattered, Batman.

We really don't spend enough time together.

We're just so busy.

To be honest, if Two -Face had killed you, I'd never forgive myself.

I deserve to kill the Batman.

You're insane.

You'll kill yourself.

That's what I've been trying to tell you, you stupid bat.

I'm having a party in hell.

The renovations are almost complete.

Contact the other daimyos.

The battle will be at Jigoku Kahara, the Field of Hell. We'll see who will be

shogun.

And when will we be going home?

Soon enough, we still need to obtain three remaining power converters from

Penguin, Poison Ivy, and Deathstroke. Then the Quake engine will be complete

we can move through time and space.

Excuse me, do you mind stepping aside?

Isn't eating a banana a little cliche?

Says the cat burglar in the cat costume.

Relieved you're with us, Master Bruce.

How long have I been out?

Two whole days, sir.

I see.

What is this?

Aeon brought it by, sir.

He said the legendary mask of the Bat -Clan should be worn by its rightful

owner.

No vehicles or weapons.

I didn't know who I was anymore.

Who was Batman, stripped of all his technology?

In my desperation, I joined forces with Grodd.

So many lost and injured because I was blind to Grodd's betrayal, but

to myself.

And yet they still insist on calling me master.

So what are you going to do?

Just hang it up?

What I always do. I'm going to fight.

I was wrong.

I thought I had nothing.

But I have more than I thought.

I have my mind. My body.

My spirit.

And all of you.

This time and place has its own rules.

And if we're going to win, it's time we finally played by them.

I swear, their faith in me will not be squandered.

We will master the ways of the ninja.

Our weapons will be everything that exists.

And I will turn their legend into reality.

The techniques of the ninja are extremely effective.

If we can combine their martial arts skills with modern innovations in

Grodd won't know what hit him. If they attack us with their mobile fortress, we

will outmaneuver them and strike back with everything we've got.

Will it work? The craftsmanship of the ninja blacksmiths is incredible.

The precision of their weapons can't be matched even by our 21st century

standard.

The wild game and produce here are exceptional.

I'm planning a high -protein diet. Perhaps some boar steak for dinner

sir. Sounds good, Alfred.

When the wheat is ready for harvest, we can make some freshly baked bread.

Well, you know what they say.

Wars are won on full stomachs. Good thinking.

Hey, Batman!

Monkey G has another message.

Has Red Hood found them?

Yes. I'm on my way.

Excuse me. May I have a cup of water, please?

Yes, of course.

Oh, you must be exhausted.

It's a rather hot day for a Buddhist monk to be traveling.

I'll break it!

If you don't show your face, I'll break your arm!

I knew you were alive, Joker.

They said you were dead, but I didn't believe it.

So, I've been looking for you.

Joker?

Why do you keep insisting on calling me that?

Admit it!

No!

No! My darling!

Are you insane?

You think I'm that stupid?

Do you expect me to believe the Joker has taken up farming?

You too, Harley Quinn.

I owe you this.

Please forgive us.

I don't understand.

I'm not who you think I am.

You're still going to deny it.

Red Hood, stop it.

Batman.

What are you doing here?

Same as you.

I heard that you had found the Joker and Harley. Reports of foreign farmers in

the area match their description.

So, you don't remember anything.

No.

We can't remember anything about our past.

We came here to live a peaceful life deep in the mountains.

My wife and I, we plow the fields together.

I see.

Don't let them fool you, Batman.

They're up to their same old tricks.

I'm not so sure, Red Hood.

I'm sorry for my friend's behavior.

When I work the land, I feel like I'm being cleansed. It's as if everything

inside me is being sucked out and absorbed back into the earth. I know it

silly, but my wife and I are always saying it's like we've been reborn.

Honey, quick!

Come look!

There's a sprout!

You have to see this!

New life! A sprout?

You're kidding!

Enough.

This is different.

I've been tricked by them before.

There isn't the same madness in his eyes.

If you knew him like I did, you'd know he could never hide that part of

It's what makes him what he is.

He's not the Joker. At least not anymore.

They both lost their memories in the explosion.

There's no need to bother them.

You can't be serious.

We'll take them back with us once the Quake engine is operational again.

But for now, we'll just keep an eye on them.

They're not going to hurt anyone.

Come on, Red Hood.

Let's go.

The time has arrived to destroy these upstarts and rebuild the Quake Engine.

Arkham Castle, rise!

His monkey is finally on the move. Let's take what's ours and feather this nest

we built.

Fly,

Jojen Birdman Castle!

Spread your wings!

I will not let this paradise be destroyed by the machinations of men.

Judoku plant poison castles.

Grow and let them reap what we have sown.

Interesting. Now we'll finally see who's the most powerful warlord in Japan.

Kikuju's Shell Assault Castle will blow you all to kingdom come.

Fire!

From order to chaos, all in the flip of a coin, the enemy converges at the Field

of Hell, where the Umote Two -Face Castle will meet them and decide the

Japan.

A fine tea, Alfred.

My pleasure.

All of the Daimyo castles are on the move. This is our chance.

I can't wait to slaughter them all.

Then it will truly earn the name the Field of Hell.

But what matters is the converters and the quake engine will all be in one

place.

This is it.

This is our one opportunity.

To defeat them and return to Gotham.

Remember, the machines, no matter how large, are still controlled by humans.

If we can defeat the person inside the machine, then we have a fighting chance.

Aeon was right.

I now understand the role I must play. I am no longer the Batman.

I will be what the Bat -Clan calls me. I will be their prophecy.

I will be the legendary ninja who will bring peace to their land.

I will be.

This penguin moves as swiftly on land as it does at sea.

And it's got what a hell of a bite. Watch it, you bloated bird, because this

plant bites back.

And I'm going to catch you in this fly trap.

Chosen Birdman Castle.

Wind, forest, fire, mountain, transformation.

Two can play at this game.

Judo Cool Plant Poison Castle.

Multitudes of flowers, transformation!

Oh, my.

Gekujou Shell Assault Castle! Rapid Fire Hundred Cannons Transformation!

Fire!

Not too bad.

Gorilla Grodd, leave him to me.

The Umote Two -Faced Castle. Two -Faced Transformation!

Giant robots?

Batman! What now?

After. Leave them to us.

Give them hell.

Behind us.

We're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I appreciate your loyalty, Two -Face.

Sure. Until the coin tells me otherwise.

Till that day, hence I go.

Your luck's run out.

I'm gonna rip you limb from limb, Grodd!

It's easy to understand the laws of probability.

It was only a matter of time.

Let's go!

Head straight for Arkham Castle!

Look out!

Well that was cool.

That's enough games for now.

It's time to get down -

What are you doing now?

All of Gotham's criminals are now under my mind control.

What they do not know is that I actually manipulated them into building their

fortresses, too.

Where do you think they got the technology?

They are just pieces in a larger puzzle, like the feudal states of Japan

herself.

Whatever it takes to get home.

Sorry to break it to you.

But you're not going anywhere.

I'm going to rule this country and turn it into a kingdom of monkeys and

rewrite the history of the world!

Can't be.

Hi, Beth.

You should know by now that you can't keep a crazy man down.

You

never

want to be too early to a party.

Right?

Hi,

pretty kitty.

You really took us by surprise back at the lake, Grand.

But now it's time for a little payback.

The paralysis isn't permanent, but we're thinking about increasing the dosage.

Ivy's got the best plants, don't you think?

Best. Now, now, now, don't go and strain yourself.

Not that you can move anyway.

You too, kitty cat.

Now, in a dramatic turn of events, the Joker takes over...

Are both of you all right?

Don't think I didn't notice you saving Grodd before me.

But thank you, Batman.

I see that gaffe didn't knock out your attitude.

I'm glad you're still with us, Catwoman.

So what now, Sutton? It looks like this thing is still plugged into that brain!

Well, that means it's time...

The criminals of Gotham become one!

Guess I could use a nap.

So what now?

He's hurt pretty bad.

Here.

You can use this.

It controls my army of monkeys.

Use them to defeat the Joker.

saving my life.

I promise no tricks this time.

Batman, lend us the flute, please.

Munkichi and I know exactly what to do.

There's millions.

Who's she?

You got it.

guys are going to unite, then so will we!

Enough monkeying around!

I'll blow you to pieces!

All for one, and one for all!

Their combined spirit has formed this giant samurai!

Now, witness the awesome power of the monkey!

Together, they will deliver a devastating blow.

Unexpected. Let's move.

Storm the robot while it's down.

Got it.

Mokichi, I'm leaving the float with you.

Bruce,

I'm going with you.

Harley Quinn could use a good ass -kicking.

Come on.

Gotta love a man who can forgive a girl for double -crossing him.

Monkey see, monkey do.

It's not how you fall, but how you pick yourself up.

Why don't you greet them with a warm kiss?

the mighty Bat -God before us.

coming for you!

Time to settle this.

Once and for all.

Party's over, Penguin.

Tell you what, Deathstroke.

I'll give you the first shot.

I'm gonna wipe that half -smile right off your face!

Poison Ivy, you know you're not a real plant, right?

I see you're back to your old self again.

I was convinced you'd lost your memory, Joker.

Yeah, about that.

I had lost my memory. I was a decent man.

What a joke.

But I ha - to do it.

It was the only way I could get the upper hand. I hypnotized myself to

was someone else so you would believe it.

And this little flower was the trigger to snap me back to insanity.

The J.

See what happens when you plant a seed and let it grow into something

It's good to return to the land.

Get your hands dirty.

The French call it nostalgia de la beurre.

Romance of the mud.

You have... I have to admit, it was a great joke.

The only way to deceive you was to deceive myself.

And you fell for it hook, line, and flower.

The time has finally come for you to die.

Time for some girl on girl action.

It's over, Ivy. You lost.

tongue to yourself.

What am I going to do with you, Batman?

You've destroyed a perfectly good giant robot castle.

You're going to have to... Let's end this, Joker.

Just you and me.

With pleasure.

Oh, I'd hate to come all the way to ancient Japan and miss out on a samurai

sword fight.

Right, bots?

Then you won't be disappointed.

Not too bad. Making all of my dreams come true.

Happy to help.

Ooh, don't tease.

You're getting me excited.

Ooh, that was a good one.

Oh,

you can do better than that.

Maybe you need to hit the dojo and get some more practice. Work on your fate

parry.

I really doubt that, Joker.

Must be tough being a hero!

You don't dare kill me!

Isn't that right, Bat?

Don't test me.

And how much fun.

It's finally over. Batman!

You can't trust everything you see, Joker.

You can do it, can you?

Thank you for all your help.

Of course.

Our country can now return to the way it was.

We will never forget what you have done for us.

Thank you, Monkey T.

You were a great help.

It's time for me to go.

I'll never forget you.

Activate the quake engine.

Master Bruce, you'll be needing this for tonight.

Huh? Ah, right, of course.

Best not to keep the mayor waiting.

Is the car ready?

Yes, but it's rather vintage.

Where did you come across such a rare find?

I just ran across it on a trip.

I always keep my eye out for interesting souvenirs.

You didn't technically empty -handed, did you?

We'll be right

back.
