âGood evening, Gotham City. Breaking news!
âThe Gotham City Police Department has had a shocking breakthrough in the case of the mysterious disappearance of the notorious criminal mastermind, the Joker, after his escape from Arkham Asylum.
âThe GCPD has gotten a tip, provided by an anonymous source, that confirms the Joker is⊠dead. You heard that right, folks. The Joker is dead!
âThe photo on screen right now was anonymously sent out to the GCPD. It appears to be a zoomed-in picture of the Jokerâs lifeless body, with another person whose identity is currently unknown being cut off.
âNow we canât show you the entire image due to its graphic nature, but I assure you, the details are unmistakable. Itâs him.
âAfter years of terrorizing our city, it seems we might finally be rid of this menace for good. Itâs a moment many in Gotham never thought they'd ever see. Already, some are calling it a cause for celebration, a long-overdue end to the madness.
âOne can only hope his reign of terror over the citizens of Gotham is finally gone for good. This could be the dawn of a new era for Gotham.
âThough the identity of the other person in the picture and the cause of death are still unknown, the people at the GCPD are working their hardest to uncover these mysteries. Stay tuned for more updates as we learn more about this shocking development.
âUntil then, stay safe, Gotham. We may just have something to celebrate tonight!â
The camera cuts away, the headline âJoker Confirmed Deadâ scrolling across the bottom of the screen.

5 days since the Joker DIED
TheHotOne: *picture*
TheHotOne: who did it??!!
TheHotOne: tim, ws it oyu?
TheHotOne: dick?! >:(
TheHotOne: babs???
TheHotOne: whoevre it wad bettr fess up!!!
TheHotOne: tping the manrâŠ.
TheHotOne: without me????!!!!
TheHotOne: this is betrayel og the highrdt irder
Discowing: Wasnât me, Steph! đ„ș I swear đââïž
TheHotOne: u swer on ur discowing suit? >:((
Discowing: Yes đ
Sherlock: wasnât me
TheHotOne: hmmmm, fair
TheHotOne: u probaby wuldve taken the credit for it if it were u >:/
Omnipotent: Why donât you ask Cass and Alfred, Steph? Iâm sure they would be of much more use to you when figuring out this mystery âșïž
TheHotOne: !!!!
TheHotOne: cass?! (:0
TheHotOne: was it you?!?!?!?!?
TheHotOne: how cud yu?!?!?!?!? Â /(;o;)/
TheCuteOne: Not me.
TheCuteOne: Jason and brother-in-law.
TheHotOne: brother-in-law??!? o.O
Discowing: Brother-in-law?! đ±
TheCuteOne: What Jason said to call him.
BloodSon: Todd and his beloved are moving too quickly. This is extremely suspicious. We should not rule out the possibility of mild control or other enchantments.
BloodSon: It would hardly be surprising if Toddâs mind has been overtaken. I donât suppose it would be too difficult. After all, Todd is rather simple-minded.
Flashlight: Despite the insults, I feel like Damian might have a point
Flashlight: This all seems to go pretty fast, are we sure Jason isnât being mind-controlled or being taken advantage of somehow??
WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl: That is a very likely possibility we should not rule out. Oracle, how are the investigations into the suspect going?
WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl: And can my name be changed back now?
Omnipotent: Iâve gotten some basic information that Iâve already compiled into a new file and sent to the bat computer, but nothing of note yet. Most of it seems to be hidden behind a firewall that Iâve been trying to break through but itâs been slow going so far
Omnipotent: And for the chat name to be unlocked and changed you will have to get Jason to no longer be pissed off at you đ«€
Omnipotent: So I would get used to the name if I were you, B
WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl: And the investigation into the Jokerâs murder and who leaked the picture?
Omnipotent: More dead-ends, though the edited picture seems to have been spread around from Harley Quinn, who got it from Jason, to some of her associates. However, it is unclear who exactly shared it with the GCPD
Omnipotent: Jason seems to be the key component to all of this, so youâll have to get him to spill the beans if we want to get any more info on the case
Sherlock: *link*
Flashlight: What is that?
Sherlock: petition to make the day we were freed of the joker into a regional holiday
WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl: Red Robin, take that down. We will not celebrate the death of a person.
TheHotOne: signed
Flashlight: Signed
TheCuteOne: đ
Discowing: Signed đ

âI never thought Iâd find another halfa!â Danny beams at Jason.
âI thought there were only 4 of us, yâknow? And Clockwork never mentioned or implied anything on the contrary. I never thought thereâd be another one of us, especially not seeing as youâre not from Amity, nor do you have any connection with my parents as far as Iâm aware.
âHowâd it even happen? I didnât think there were any more artificial portals around other than ours and Vladâs. Was it a natural portal? Or are there more ectobiologists out there trying to create a rift into the Realms?
âWait, no, sorry, you donât have to answer that. Stupid Danny. Forget I asked that. Itâs too early for us to exchange death stories.
âThough, are you a halfa? You do feel a bit different. The ecto in you is more muted. And itâs strange that I didnât sense it before, now that I think about it. But we can discuss that later. Iâm so glad weâre the same, this is great news! It makes everything so much easier!
âI thought I was gonna have to keep my undeadness a secret from you for a little while before trying to gently break it to you and hoping you wouldnât run away screaming, or have me sent to a psychiatrist again.
âLast time was so not fun and I can still remember Jazzâs unimpressed eyebrow raise as she saw I was her new patient clearly. But hey, thâ"
âWhat is happening to me?â Jasonâs trembling voice cuts off Dannyâs excited rambling.
Danny immediately stops talking and looks back over at Jason. His eyes are still glowing ecto-green, the glow seemingly stuttering like heâs at war with himself over something. Jason is looking right back at Danny as well, his face stony though he almost seems like heâs trying to hold back tears.
But what stills Danny completely is the slightly shaking gun pointed right at his head.
