"Ugh, here we go. Thing about Central City supercrime, folks, they've all got this powers hangup. Most of them don't HAVE powers, or at least not ones worth describing all the time, but they can go on and on like they've got some complicated metaphorical THING. I mean, alright, it's not Poison Ivy bad but tell me, folks, did you really need anything more than 'sound gun'?" Joker gestures with his hands, putting a little Williams into his act.
"Besides, Hartley, bombs don't have ears." It could be a bluff. Maybe.
"But I've always wanted to ask you, Hartley, how does that even work? Doesn't the Flash run faster than sound?" Joker seems sincerely curious, for whatever reason. "Or is that why you 'retired'? I was never into sonics, to be honest, before I got this gorgeous makeover I was a chemist. Maybe."
"Pretty good at it, to be honest, but it was so DULL. I mean no matter what you do, a chemical reacts a certain way, you know? No variety. Not like people."
Joker pauses for a long second, suddenly a thousand miles away.
The bartender raises an eyebrow at the superhero taking a seltzer bottle, but shrugs. Not his problem. "You break it, you buy it, pal."
