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.
