Epilogue

Batman easily towered over the diminutive Penguin, who didn't budge an inch.

"I won't ask again, Penguin. Where were the drugs going?"

"I'm afraid I have little clue to what drugs you are referring. Admittedly, I would be highly unlikely to share such information with you even if I did know… but this time, I am telling the truth."

Batman held his stare for the longest time. Penguin's gaze didn't falter.

Slowly, the Dark Knight stalked away and out of the Penguin's office.

"Sorry, Bats," he said, smiling.

Batman froze in the doorway for only an instant before continuing on his way.

That was the only time the Penguin would ever hear Batman mutter a curse against another human being under his breath.

And for that, he was eternally grateful to the Flash.
