Cherry vs the Return of the Joker

chapter 1

Before you read! I know it was short, but thank you for voting for my newest story to be the first one of 2019. I highly suggested this one since this is when the Batman Beyond timeline begins, and I thought it would be interesting. I want to thank everyone who has supported me over the years. I really love my art, and the fact that so many people love me writing my stories makes me feel very happy because I've always wanted to be a famous author when I grew up.

I would also like to thank the many people I RP with who help make this possible, such as thunder pony (Atticus), Scrappy Doo Fan (who RP'd this one with me), AnnaleaseTurner (Katie Kat), and CartoonNetwork90sFan (also known as Cathleen) who help make my stories possible. I also want to thank the many reviewers I've had over the years, such as RustyPete12 who isn't just an avid fan, but also a very good friend of mine who helps make me feel better in my times of need. I really wish more reviewers could be like him. Thank you everyone, not just my reviewers or my collab partners, but everyone in my life for help making me the author I am today, this is really fun, but you all make it worthwhile when you want to see more of what I can do.

Anyway, Happy New Year, looking forward to showing you guys more of my talent in 2019 as we part ways with 2018. Enough mush for right now, you wanna read a story. Before we get into Return of the Joker, enjoy this short part, think of it as a Pixar Short before you can enjoy the main story which is adapted from the short also known as Twisted. And as always, thank you, and remember to Read & Review! Yours truly, PerkyGoth14.

It was a dark and gloomy night in another Gotham, and Batman stealthily glided over a fence and landed on his feet before walking into a warehouse. Naturally, his goddaughter, Gothika, and her boyfriend Bat-Mite were also with him. Apparently they were investigating a string of disappearances, and their search had led them here.

"Stay close and remember to keep quiet." Gothika told Bat-Mite, sounding dark and mysterious, though it was like he was the only person around who never made her feel sick or disgusted about humanity in general.

"Rodger-dodger!" Bat-Mite whispered as he saluted, as he floated over the ground with ease.

"And now, here we go..." Gothika said as her tone always sounded dry and uncaring.

Batman approached a refrigerator nearby, and opened it. Inside were 12 severed heads inside plastic bags...as well as a bottle of "grape soder".

Bat-Mite's face turned green. "I think I'm gonna be sick..." he groaned.

"Eh, you'll be fine." Gothika said, shrugging off the heads like they were nothing to her.

Bat-Mite shuddered. "Y-Yeah...you're right...I'm a superhero! We see uglier stuff than this on a regular basis!" he grinned. "Thanks, G!" He picked up a severed head. "Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well!" he recited, before rolling the head back into the fridge.

Gothika glanced over that. "Someone's in here... I can sense it..." she then said, a bit strongly.

So they headed further into the warehouse, and found three giant jack-in-the-boxes. Batman opened one, and out popped a giant jack. Bat-Mite openes the next one, and out popped...a dead guy's upper body, dressed up to look like a jack-in-the-box clown. Bat-Mite turned pale-white at that.

"That's just sickening." Gothika said in a nearly stoic tone.

They soon heard shaking and knocking from another box.

"I knew it!" Gothika glared at first, and she soon opened up this one to see a tied up and gagged woman inside of it. She soon stood the woman up and took the tape off her mouth.
