Summary
Joker’s brow furrowed, and he let out a loud, mocking ha! “Are you serious, Batsy? You think that’s why I play our little game?"
“It isn’t a game,” Bruce snapped.
“Of course it is! Of course it’s a game!” Joker splayed his arms out. “I serve, you volley, back and forth, that’s what we do! And you know what? I don’t care.” He spat the words like they were the acid that churned beneath them. “What does it matter to me? You’re my player two, bay-bay! I’m having too much fun! Why would I ever want it to stop?”
Something about the way he was speaking, it…it was too practiced. Too performable. Like…he’d been thinking about this for some time. “…How long have you known?”
Joker threw his head back, cackling, and shook it on the way back down. “Long enough, but it doesn’t matter. It didn’t then, it doesn’t now. Nothing has to change! Gotham is our arena, the two of us her gladiators. What does it matter what happens when the fight is up? All that matters is the fight.”
