"The Mad Hatter has taken care of all of Gotham's problems. The threats to the city are gone. There's no need for being the Batman. I can be who I want to be! Wear what I want to wear! Watch Disney all day! But wait...the threats aren't gone! How can I trust the Mad Hatter? He is the enemy. Surely he'll take his powers and my resources and control Gotham, making the town a city of mannequins if he so wishes...which means...more friends? And what's so wrong with that? Being a girly mannequin is like so awesome! He's doing Gotham a favor!

"Glad you're starting to see things my way Batsy. I haven't harmed you at all. I wouldn't do that do such a beautiful little girl," chimed the Mad Hatter.

The little mannequin blushed underneath and a wave of emotion flooded Batman. "He thinks I'm beautiful! Eeeeeeeeee!!!! Like O.M.G. O.M.G. Why am I talking like this. He can like totally read my mind and he's gonna think I'm ditzy or something."

"You are my dear. And I like it," interrupted the villain.

"Awwwwwww omg omg omg. This is heaven. You're like so cute Hatsy, and you let me be who I want to be. Hearts!"

"You've certainly become a different person since walking into this mall. You've become your true self. Put your trust in me princess-to-be, and we will not fail in making everyone's dreams come true! Just like in those movies you like. Now let's introduce you to your new friends. I'll even let you all communicate with one another with the help of my device. Well, villains, say 'hello' to the man who has struck fear into all of your hearts, the one and only Batman, clad in his favourite pink frilly panties!"

"Batman? Is that really you? asked Poison Ivy. He did it to all of us so easily, but I still never imagined he could do it to you. It can't be!

"I know my Batsy, darling, the Hatman did it! I'll be damned! Well done old chap. Thought I'd be the one to bring him down if anyone," cooed the Joker. "I love what you've done with him. Pink looks good on you and you're much easier on the eyes without that menacing growl and those drab colors. I'd normally kill for seeing you in such an utterly pathetic state. But, Batsy, you were our only hope! I can't believe I'm saying this, so I won't! Penguin, you fat, plus-size mannequin looking thing, tell Bats!"

Penguin spoke for the group of villains, "We need you Batman! We don't want to live like this. Find a way!"

They all let out a large chorus: "Save us! Save us!"

The Dark Knight was once again needed. He questioned his former foes, "So wait, you don't want to be mannequins? Why not?"

Talia replied this time, "Why on earth would we want to be mannequins? What kind of a question is that from the World's Greatest Detective?"

Batman was perplexed, "Ummm, it's what you want unconsciously or whatever, right Hatsy?"

"Oh shits. Batsy wants this. He's more messed up than we are. We're officially screwed," sighed Ivy.

"hahahahaha. Who knew? The Dark Knight's always been a closet 13 year old One Directioner," the Joker laughed maniacally.

"Not exactly something to laugh about clown. His teenage immaturity has damned us all you twit" chided Ivy. "We'll be stuck in this state forever, at the mercy of a freakshow!

Batman interrupted, "Heyyyyy! Like chill everyone. Mr. Hatter isn't a freakshow, we're the freakshows! Well, I used to be, but Mr. H is making me a princess. Hee hee. Just, like, you know, trust him. Being a mannequin is so much fun and we can be friends and talk for hours and wear new clothes. Just let me have my Mr. H. He's so hawt! Oh no, I keep forgetting he can hear me! Eeeeee!"  

"Quite alright young lady. But you have a choice to make. Help these villains attain their previous lives or tell me your codes and reap the rewards of trusting in your Mr. H?"

Batman concentrated, "Like, hmmmm, ummmm, errrrrr...."
