   Summary

   It’s like a beginning of a bad joke, the kind that people laugh at but nobody finds funny. Bruce Wayne goes to a bar to find out if the rumors about a new smuggler operating from the place are true and ends up getting drunk with Joker. It has to be a joke.

   or

   Bruce tries to date Joker and keep him from finding out he's Batman at the same time.
