Jim Gordon flipped the switch. The batsignal suddenly shone brightly in the sky. He waited.
'Where the Hell is he," Jim thought. 'He's usually here in 5 minutes, tops.' Jim continued to wait. Finally, he heard a familiar noise: the sound of a grappling hook whizzing through the air. Any minute now, Batman would appear seemingly out of nowhere and coolly and calmly take control of the situation at hand.
"Ahhh fuck!" Jim suddenly heard. A large thing had just slammed into the wall in front of him. Jim ran over to it and discovered Batman slumped on the ground.
"Batman...? Are you alright?"
"Yeah yeah, I'm fine." Batman quickly straightened himself up. "So what's... what's up?"
"Uh, we've had a situation. Poison Ivy has run amok and destroyed the arboretum. She said it was a prison. Now she's threatening to destroy one of our prisons if we don't "free" all the parks in Gotham. She's lost her mind."
"Oh, okay. So... what do we do?"
Jim stared at him. "We were hoping you could stop her."
"Oh yeah, right." Batman cleared his throat. "And where-" he stopped as his voice had cracked "-where can I find her?"
"I think you can find her somewhere on the outskirts of Gotham, most likely by the old amusement park. We've heard rumors of trees being planted in the area."
"Okay. Don't worry, Commissioner... uh... Commissioner..."
"Gordon."
"Don't worry, Commissioner Gordon. I'll handle this."
Gordon turned his back on Batman. "Let me know if you run into any trouble. Batman, I don't think I need to tell you that Ivy is a very dangerous person..."
Gordon turned back around, expecting to find himself alone as he had so many times before. Instead, he saw Batman running away into the night.
'Must be having a rough day,' Commisioner Gordon thought.

Tommy had 2 words running through his mind: 'Oh' and 'fuck.' A week ago, Tommy had discovered a Batsuit and had proceeded to have the best week of his life. He had fucked Catwoman and had since foiled a series of minor crimes (mostly just by showing up), gathering a few appreciative blowjobs from damsels in distress along the way. It was the perfect racket! But this? Stopping another supervillain, one that he had no idea how to fight? This was way above his paygrade. He wished he could contact Batman, the REAL Batman, but he had been a ghost ever since Tommy had put on the suit.
"Just like me to be taken for a sap by fucking Batman himself,' thought Tommy. 'Fucker is probably banging 2 broads in Rio right now while I get ripped apart by a fucking plant.'
Tommy was wrong; Bruce Wayne was currently fucking two broads in Lisbon.
Still, though, in the deep recesses of Tommy's mind he was a little excited. Getting blowjobs as Batman was fun, but he also got a tiny twinge of self-worth from helping people. The look on victim's faces when he showed up to help him made him feel like a million bucks. It was like an orgasm for his soul.
And then there was also the matter of a story a friend of Tommy's had told him once, a story of Poison Ivy's break-in at an animal testing lab. She had killed 4 people, injecting them with the very thing they were injecting into the animals. It was horrible.
That's not the part of the story Tommy had always held onto, though; the part he remembered was only a single sentence:
"Dude, my friend in the PD saw the security footage and that Poison Ivy chick had the biggest tits I've ever seen."

Tommy worked his way over to where Commissioner Whats-His-Name had suggested. Tommy didn't know what he was looking for but he had a feeling he would know it when he found it. He was right.
From the top of the old ferris wheel, Tommy could see a stretch of forest that had grown much larger than the other areas surrounding it. And, at the center, he could just barely make out the top of a building.
Tommy took a deep breath. 'Well, here goes nothing. I'm sure she can't be that tough.'

Tommy awoke without being quite sure where he was. Last he could remember, he was wandering through a... forest, he thought. Now, as he tried to clear his eyes and look around, he was most decidedly not in any forest he recognized.
All around him was the most lush plantlife Tommy had ever seen. He couldn't recognize nearly all of them but his eyes were dazzled by a cornucopia of reds, greens, and blues. The colors made the pounding inside his head so much worse.
Through the pounding, Tommy gradually became aware that he could not move his arms or legs. He could barely lift his head enough but he thought he saw... vines? Vines were lashed around his wrists and ankles to keep him in place. One was wrapped around his neck, another around his waist. He realized that he was completely immobile. Helpless. Completely at the mercy of...
"I'm glad to see you're awake, Batman," a voice called out from the darkness.Tommy searched frantically for the origin but couldn't find anything. The vines gripped tighter.
