jeriendhalScene: A UHF television studio in Gotham. Wayne, smiling slightly, is watching from the side as Jack (this universe’s version of the Joker) dressed as a Jack Sparrow expy, addresses a studio of full of happy young children.
Narration: WGC Studios, 7:58am, Liaison with parolee.
Jack: Well kids, looks like it’s time for ol’ Captain Clown to sail back home!
Children: Awww!
Jack: But don’t be sad, I’ll be here tomorrow! Same Clown Time, same Clown Channel! Goodbye!
Children: GOODBYE, CAPTAIN CLOWN!
Jack takes a bow and heads off stage, meeting Wayne.
Jack: Hey there, Officer Friendly! So glad you could make it!
Wayne: (amused) Hi , Jack. Looks like you’re enjoying your new job.
Jack: You bet! It’s been great! All these years trying to be a comedian and it seems I’ve been talking to the wrong audiences. Turns out, when you’re talking to eight-year olds, the cornier your jokes are, the better!
Wayne: Great to hear. But you said you had something important you wanted to tell me?
Jack: Oh, yes! I owe you so much, getting this job for me, and giving a good word to the parole board, that I wanted you to be the first to hear the good news.
Moves in closer to whisper melodramatically
(cont.) I’m getting married! My therapist and I were getting so well that I decided to take a chance and pop the question, and she said YES!.
Wayne: (shakes Jack’s hand) Congratulations, Jack. I’m sure you and Dr. Young will be very happy together….

NOTES:
“Captain Clown” refers to one of the odder one shot villains from Batman: TAS an android used by the Joker in the episode The Last Laugh.
Dr. Young appeared as a regretful (and soon dead) ally of the Joker in the video game, Batman, Arkham Asylum. Given their mutual interest in chemistry and her questionable medical ethics, this might not be a good thing….
