"Funny coming from you, Piper." Joker mutters, smiling a bit. "But it's called BUILDING A NARRATIVE."
The goons wince at that; when Joker gets shouty that's usually when a plan devolves into 'killing dudes'. He calms himself, though, continuing; he's actually got a pretty good pace on stage when not interrupted. "So my first thought is, who loves illegal nukes? Terrorists! And what do you know there was a market, some...somethings. I wasn't paying attention. Lady Shiva was training them so probably SOMETHING with Ra's. Their big plan was to aim the thing at Tel Aviv and just fire. Hilariously simple!"
"I'd have watched if I didn't take a cut from Mossad to put the thing together wrong. And then....he showed up."
"I mean WHAT was Batman doing in the Arabian desert?" Joker gestures wildly with his hands, "I crossed the ocean to get AWAY from that caped lunatic, and there he is with his little acrobat friend..."
"...which is where mothers came in. As I found out later, Robin was LOOKING for his. The Mossad agent was apparently one of his three candidates. Along with Lady Shiva. Hah, like she's ever..."
Meanwhile, downstairs!
Ralph, you hear three men working.
"So why are we doing this?" One says.
"I told you, Chico, the boss says there's some cache down here. We're digging while he's distracting everyone."
"So why the bombs?"
A pause.
"Harpo, what does a comedian do when he preforms really well?"
"Eat?"
The three laugh at that for a while, and then the leader says, "Just remember not to start the timer until we fold old Boss Cobblepot's safe. Joker has plans for that stuff..."
"Penguin keeps his shit down here?"
"No, fool! His great-grandpa, back in the 19th century, before the Cobblepots lost everything the first time..."
