She angrily turned her gaze towards Batman, scowling and heartbroken... until she noticed Batman’s eyes focus over her shoulder, towards the night sky. Biche spun around to see what had her bat man so transfixed. From her current position teetering on the edge of an open window on the 44th floor of the Gotham/World Trade Center tower, there was no mistaking the luminous shape enormous and glowing in the night sky — it was… The Something Signal . “Bat”, she thought maybe? “Oh, I wonder wh — ” Biche’s voice stopped as she turned back around. Batman was gone. “Not again…” She said sadly, as she sighed sadly, sadly bowing her head like a sad, sad lady. “Not again what??” Said a voice from a few feet to her right. It was Batman. “I went over here,” he explained, pointing toward his feet. Biche’s anxiety only grew with this revelation. For deep inside, she had truly hoped that Batman had taken off before he had a chance to inevitably embarrass her in front of the crowd of total strangers gathered for their wedding. “All joking aside,” said the priest, clearing his throat, “you may kiss the — ” suddenly, Batman punched the priest, cutting him off mid-sentence. Biche screamed, holding her fat, fat hand to her comically large mouth in shock, and staring horrified as Batman shook the blood from his bat-glove. Yeah, there was blood alright. Lots of it — that priest was dead. “Oh my god, Batman!” Screamed Biche, her fat hands trembling, “Wh-what did you do!? He said ‘joking’, not ‘Joker’!!” “What…? Oh!” Replied Batman, shaking his head, “I didn’t even notice that. I was just tired of that talkman talk-talking during my party. You remember what happened at my last party... when my Uncle Michael called me an asshole for climbing on the roof of his shed when I got bored? I wasn’t gonna get called an asshole again, no sir -- not Batman!” Biche did not remember. In fact, she was barely listening to her near-husband, as she was now sobbing hysterically and crouching beside the downed priest — or, “talkman”, as Batman had called him. Were the talkman alive, Biche wouldn’t have listened anyway. She never listened. She was awful. “I’m going over there now,” said Batman, pointing 30ft to his left, and promptly began walking. He walked like such a jerk. He looked dumb. Of course Batman wasn’t looking where he was going either, and he walked straight into a folding chair like a motherfucking butthead. The chair tipped over and clanked loudly onto the ground, shattering the silence. The silence had already been shattered by Biche’s sobs, but not to be outdone, Batman had managed to find a way to shatter it again, apparently. “You broke the chair now too?? That was my important chair!” Biche’s lip trembled as she whined, “Oh my lord, Batman, what else are you going to screw up!?”, before bursting into tears again like a little crybaby. “Mm, I like that —”, came Batman’s emotionless response, “Alexa, from now on call me ‘Your Lord Batman’.” “My name is Biche!” Sobbed the Bat-Bride-to-Be. “Would you shut up for a SECOND,” screamed a now-furious Lord Batman, “I was talking to my Amazon thing,” He lied. He did not actually own any Amazon products, and had genuinely forgotten her name. “You ruined Christmas!!”, Alexa screamed, interrupting him. Yeah, it was Christmas too. And he had certainly ruined it. The crowd shuffled out in silence, shaking their heads, leaving Alexa alone with Lord Batman and the body of the Talkman, whose pockets Batman was busy searching. He needed every bit of money he could scrounge. Weddings were not cheap, and clearly they would require another.
