Local teenage girl fist fights the Joker 

The Joker is currently in intensive care  

By: Gotham Press 

It’s not everyday a teenage girl is able to jump the notorious Batman rogue, the Joker, and it’s not every day they survive the encounter. Sources in Crime Alley state that everything had started normal in Crime Alley, or as normal as it can be in that part of Gotham. 

The Joker had escaped Arkham, and so many were hiding away, because he is not someone to be messed with. Given he was able to, a couple years ago to get rid of Robin, and yet he still lives. So the people of Crime Alley know that Batman will do nothing more than just send the rogue back to Arkham. So the citizens of Crime Alley could only hope that the resident crime lord Red Hood would do something to protect them. 

Mayhem started around the middle of the day as the Joker's lackeys began to destroy stores and buildings, and hurting people, the Joker seemed to be hatching another plan to get Batman cornered, and the citizens of Crime Alley were the ones that were to suffer. 

There were gunshots and a lot of screaming and crazy laughter from the clown. Everyone cautiously hid in their homes, praying that someone would stop the crazy maniac. 

And as the chaos continued they had lost hope of anyone arriving to help them. Residents say that it had been on the radio that Gotham hospital had been taken hostage by Scarecrow and Bane, so the Bats were busy. 

Red Hood had been reported by media sources to have disappeared, when they heard this, the citizens of Crime Alley lost hope. 

After about an hour of the Mayhem and chaos, something strange occurred. 

Every citizen that was interviewed had different ideas of what happened, but with the similarities of each story, we were able to decipher what went down. 

In a small apartment building, one that the Joker’s lackeys had set on fire, a tired looking female teen came out from the front door. They were wearing what they assumed were Wonder Woman sweatpants and a black t-shirt with a huge DP emblem in it. They had light brown hair, and light brown eyes. Many state she was not wearing shoes, and looked like she had just woken up from sleep. Which many found strange as it was nearing six PM. Many report to hearing her grumbling as she stared at the place she had just come out of . Due to her being the only civilian out, she made an easy target by the clown himself, who approached her cackling his evil laughter. 

Civilians report that when he started cackling the teenager told him to ‘shut up, you’re making my head hurt asshole” while rubbing her eyes. Of course this upset the Joker as he started to threaten her. 

The teen didn’t seem to be listening as she was dozing off and yawning, looking at the building she came out of with a frown.

Apparently being ignored and getting mad, is something the Joker and a toddler have in common. 

This caused the Joker to get angry as he started to talk about what he would do to her, the description had been grotesque but still the young teen gave him a disgusted and tired look, seemingly not listening to him. It wasn’t until the Joker said the following that she responded. 

‘I should burn you like I’m torching your building’ that caused her eyes to widen, and like the Joker many civilians thought that he had finally scared her and made her realize just how dangerous he was, but they were wrong.

The following description was hard to get as the citizens of Crime Alley are still confused about what actually happened. 

One citizen reports in hearing her say the following. “So you were the fucker that lit up my building” 

Another heard. “I’m gonna shove that torch so far up your ass that you won’t even see tomorrow” 

Others say they heard. “How about I torch you with the amount of ass whooping I’m about to do” 

Nothing is quite clear of what she said, but what followed, many can corroborate. 

The young teen jump the Joker, fists flying here and there, surprising the clown, and none of the lackeys could get her of off him without getting knocked out in the process. 

The Joker, many state he tried to fight back, but it was a losing battle, as the skinny teen seemed to be going ham on the rogue. Many report hearing bones cracking, and the Joker groaning in pain. The lackeys tried to gang up on her, but were easily taken down by a hard kick on their stomach or head.

Many say that it looked like it was from the Karate Kid with a mix of something else, because the lackeys kept flying here and there. 

And in between she continued as the citizens say ‘beating the shit’ out of him. 

There are reports that she was heard muttering the following. 

‘Listen here you decrepit looking, wannabe clown, that’s not even fucking funny, I was trying to sleep. I was trying to sleep, all I wanted to do was sleep, but nooo you had to come out and do your usual bullshit while also burning my home-- do you know how much rent costs? Do I look old enough to hold a steady job?’ and then she ranted about he needed to learn some manners and that she was going to show him an ass whooping. 

Many are certain that the Joker passed out after a couple minutes,  and she noticed grumbling about him not being able to take the ‘heat’ he often gave others. 

Dissing him about getting blood on her Wonder Woman sweatpants, and about how he was making her lose lunch because she had to wait in order to make sure that Batman took him in. 

After that Batman arrived, but the young teen had disappeared. Leaving unconscious lackeys and an unconscious Joker. 

Upon further questioning about who the teen was, and if they knew where they went, Crime Alley citizens became tight lipped, and were too stubborn to comment on more. 

This is Gotham Press, bringing you the news of Gotham city. There are a lot of questions that you, our readers might have, but know this. We have them too. 

Batman and other vigilantes are on the lookout for this teen. As sources state that Batman thinks that they may be dangerous. 

Citizens of Crime Alley say ‘That’s bullshit’. 

We shall see what it is.
