captain_slinky | 056 - Gotham Spoilers Needed For Joke

This will only mke sense if you're a fan of Batman AND you watch the TV show "Gotham", which is a modern take on the origins of the Batman Mythos by following the career of young Detective Jim Gordon from the moment of the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne. Because if THIS young Bruce Wayne is going to become The Batman at some time down the line, there will need to be scenes like this for that future Batman...

BATMAN: I saw the Bat-Signal and came as soon as I could... what's up, Commissioner Gordon?
COMMISSIONER GORDON: It's Poison Ivy again, little Bru - I mean, uh, "Batman". She's taken over the Gotham Armory, and -
BATMAN: OMG Poison Ivy? I haven't seen her since we were KIDS! We used to hang out! Just her, me and Catwoman - you know that Catwoman and I played together a lot as kids, right? We had so many wacky adventures together! *siiiiigh* I cherish those memories... say, I don't suppose it could have been one of my other mysterious-yet-colorful nemesies, like maybe The Joker or The Penguin or The Riddler? Oh if only I knew whe The Joker was, then I could...
COMMISSIONER GORDON: OH CRAP did I forget to tell you? Yeah, I knew the Joker when HE was a kid, too! Creepy kid, big smile, and that laugh - I'd know that laugh anywhere! He was the type of person you never forget about! Yeah, I've got file on him down at the precinct. You want to see it? Also, side note, I worked with The Riddler and had some pretty shady dealings with The Penguin over the years. How had I not told you about this?
BATMAN: I miss Catwoman. I think maybe I'll call her.
