How Jason Todd Lives Should Go.
The Joker stopped before he could swing the crowbar all the way.
"Ohmigosh," he said. "What am I even doing."
Jason blinked. "Huh?"
Joker looked at his hands. "These hands once built a giant teddy bear to rob the First Gotham Bank. These were once the hands of a genius, an inventor, an artist. Now I'm about to pummel a child like a brute. Where did my finesse go? Even the Riddler can do better than that! I'm reduced to a thug, a cheap crook with no imagination..."
"Also, you're about to kill a child," one of his henchmen told him.
"SHUT UP!" Joker shouted. "It's not even about that, it's about how low I've fallen!" He paused. "Okay, I guess some people would see THAT part as falling too."
"If it's any consolation, it's not your fault, Boss, it's the Batman's for bringing a child into a dangerous war against psychos like us."
"True, true," Joker said, nodding slowly. After a few moments, Jason nodded quickly as well, with very wide eyes.
They all looked at each other.

The Batman walked into the warehouse. "ROBIN! Robin, I'm here, you don't need to—!"
Joker, Jason and the henchmen dropped on him and began pummeling away.
