They say they've just killed the Joker.

- They've brought the body.

- So, dead? That's 500.

- How about alive? Hm?

You wanna know how I got these scars?

My father was...

a drinker

and a fiend.

And one night he goes off crazier than usual.

Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself.

He doesn't like that.

Not... one... bit.

So, me watching

he takes the knife to her.

Laughing while he does it.

He turns to me, heh, and he says

"Why so serious?"

He comes at me with the knife.

"Why so serious?"

He sticks the blade in my mouth.

"Let's put a smile on that face."

And...

Why so serious?

Now, our operation is small

but, there's a lot of potential

for aggressive expansion.

So which of you fine gentlemen would like to join our team?

Oh, there's only one spot open right now

so we're going to have...

tryouts.

Make it fast.

- Welcome to Hong Kong, Mr. Fox.

Mr. Lau regrets he isn't able to greet you in person today.

FOX Oh, I understand.

- For security purposes, I'm going to have to ask you to check in your mobile.

- Of course.

- I must apoligize for leaving Gotham in the middle of our negotiations.

This, ah, misundestanding with the Gotham Police force...

I couldn't let such a thing threaten my company.

Of course, a businessman of your stature will understand

and with you here, now, we can continue.

- Well, I do appreciate you bringing me out here on such style, Mr. Lau

but, I really—

[phone rings]

- We do not allow cellphones in here.

- Sorry, forgot I had it.

Now, I really came to tell you that our business deal has to be put on hold.

You see, we can't afford to be seen doing business with...

whatever it is you're accused of being.

I'm sure a businessman of your stature will understand.

- I think, Mr. Fox

a simple phone call might have sufficed.

- Mr. Wayne didn't want you to think he was deliberately wasting your time.

- Just accidentally wasting it.

[Fox laughs]

- Very good, Mr. Lau.

Accidentally. Very good.

GUARD Hey, sir.
