Batman’s Greatest Fear


“Just think about 
how far you’ve come;
Remember what it took 
to get you here;
Remember What 
He DID to You.”

- Apollo Creed,
Rocky III











LEGO ALFRED :
Sir, if you don't mind my saying,
I'm a little concerned —

I've seen you go through similar phases in 2016 and 2012 
and 2008 and 2005 
and 1997 and 1995 
and 1992 and 1989 — 
and that weird one in 1966.

Do you want to talk about
how you're feeling right now?

LEGO BATMAN: 
I Don't Talk about 
‘Feelings’, Alfred.
I don't have any, 
I've never seen one —
I'm a night-stalking,
crime-fighting vigilante,
and a heavy-metal 
rapping machine.

I Don't Feel anything emotionally,
except for RAGE,
24/7, 365, at 1,000,000%

And if you think that there's something behind that, 
then You're crazy —
Good night, Alfred.

LEGO ALFRED :
Sir, it's Morning.

Alfred yanks open 
The Mansion Great Hall’s drapes, as The Batman hisses and recoils against the shaft of bright sunlight which bursts forth from the skylight

(HISSING AND GROANING)

LEGO ALFRED : 
Master Bruce, You Live on An Island, 
figuratively and literally.

LEGO BATMAN: 
Yeah. I love it.

LEGO ALFRED : 
You can't spend the rest 
of your life alone, 
dressed in black, 
listening to angry music,
and staying up all night.

LEGO BATMAN: 
Yes, I can, 'cause 
I'm Batman.

LEGO ALFRED : 
But don't you think 
it's time you finally faced 
Your Greatest Fear?

LEGO BATMAN: 
Snakes….?

LEGO ALFRED : 
No.

LEGO BATMAN: 
Clowns?

LEGO ALFRED :
No.

LEGO BATMAN: 
Snake-Clowns..?!

LEGO ALFRED :
Bruce, Listen :
Your Greatest Fear, is —
Being a part of 
A Family again.

LEGO BATMAN: 
Nope. Now it's snake-clowns,
because you put that idea 
in my head.

LEGO ALFRED :
Sir?

LEGO BATMAN: 
Time for push-ups!
One, two... We're going 
to a thousand….

LEGO ALFRED : 
I'm afraid that's not possible, sir.

LEGO BATMAN: 
It is possible. I'm already at 20.
