Batman or Joker?Who will win Corona?
FOREWORD:This Fiction is a tribute to Dark Knight Movie,twelve days before the twelfth anniversary of its release,14th July.


Batman thought what he should count today.He's completely conquered by boredom.Its the fifth day of his Institutional Quarantine,and all this havoc just because he was related to bats.

He recounted.There are 162 tiles,3 fans(out of which one is pedestal),4 tube-lights,an led T Bulb, but not a single roll of toilet paper in that hospital ward.He remembered getting angry with the nurse in the morning for the same reason.,toilet paper.
He muttered to himself 'everyone wants to change the world but no one changes even an empty roll of toilet paper.'
He longed for his new friends to come,2 spiders and one lizard.It was shocking for him to find that two of them didn't even knew Spider-Man.But he forgave their ignorance.After all they are not that intelligent like human,to know superheroes.
The lizard laughed on hearing the superhero's concern for him.He replied.
"Indeed,animals are not that clever like humans to believe in superheroes..Pardon Us,".

Another entertainment all these days was death toll statistics which he frequently revised like cricket scores.
It has now become a habit...tracking the high score of death.,leaders and losers.He was surprised by the effect loneliness in his thought process.Maybe ,he remembered Joker in the meantime.
He thought."An Idle mind is indeed a devil's workshop".

Suddenly,he heard a knock at the door.He wished it was the nurse with the toilet paper.
He asked,"is that my toilet paper ?"
As he gazed upon the squeaking door,the nurse spoke.

"Not really .Not here to wipe your a**.Thought you wanted me.Here I am..
Wait some more to clean your sh*t. Wal-Mart is closed,Amazon out of stock ...
People,.. are panic buying.."

Joker!...You?,here....why?

Exclaimed Batman.

Joker replied.
"Harvey Dent...Its why I am here...I think I should do something.Perhaps,bombing this hospital,I had no plan yet,I was just chasing him and here I am"

Batman tried to get up,but couldn't.

Joker's Nurse Uniform was completely ramshackle by the struggle he had to endure in order to squeak into the hospital.He wore mask,a plain one alike the ones worn by teenagers.

Joker freed himself from the nurse uniform ,which was imbued in gore by the revolts happening outside.

Batman looked strangely at Jokers mask.Joker said to Batman
"Those lads,they purchased all those masks with a smile on them...."

After a pause he continued

"I couldn't put that smile on my face....."
Joker smiled eerily.

Your costume,Why is it like this?.What's happening outside?

"We all speak a lot about the kind of world we leave for the new generation..Have we ever spare a moment talking about the generation we are leaving for this world?...

Well now they realize i make more sense than you...They can't be blamed either.They live in a world of rich criminals and starving graduates.."

By Now,Joker was getting on Batman's nerves.But he couldn't do anything,except to surrender his ears before his rival.


"Wasn't I right.Now you are also thrown out by those morons fighting outside.To them, you were all just a freak, like me! They don't need you right now, and they cast you out, like a leper!
You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other. Look at tbe streets ...you can see for yourself...See, I was not a monster. I was just ahead of the curve.

they send bodily weak to sanatorium and mentally weak to senates.For them handcuffed minds are normal,and the free ones are disordered.They blindly believe their leaders,...

You know,sheep fears wolves its entire life,only to be eaten by its own shepherd at the end."


"Why are they fighting?"
Batman asked.

"Everything Burns.....
There are two kinds of people,the blacks and the whites..and I hate them..and every bit of them
no lives matter,they're all the same,.people.
Everything burns. Let it burn."
Joker replied.

"Shouldn't have happened if I was out there .I would have stopped even this corona virus with my superpowers...Batman said."

Joker laughed ecstatically ..
You can't Batman,This,is a real world crisis...not the movies..not only America is affected..Doctors are superheroes here.Nurses are...even delivery guys are..and even the ones who lock themselves in their apartment are...

Joker continued...
and look at you,you can't even save yourself.You are putting the mask above ..some people use masks for saving beard from sunlight
Remember,Only the fish with a closed mouth never gets caught.
Either way.
This applies to those quarelling out too.Only the one who talks,gets caught.Only parrots are caged not bats,even if they do more harm.

....and on top of that you are a bat.,the suspicions rise from China.

Batman remembered Harvey Dent who recommended American Instead of 1carbon fibre 28 calibre made in China to kill public servant...

"What are you thinking about?"
Asked Joker.

"I thought of Dent."
said batman

"You either die hero or live enough to see yourself become the villain .."
Dent's words rung in Batman's ears.


"I think you superhero chaps are all same.
logicless...class less.
For instance superman wears his underwear outside ...but never wore a mask.Spider-Man covers his face but touches many surfaces barehand.

Indeed supervillains make more sense.When
Thanos snapped half of these fools away,they thought,would it happen?Now,it happens..Only the name is changed,to Corona.
Some thought it should happen,never realising they have half the probability of being snapped to dust..

This corona is just like me look ..savouring emotions and lives inch by inch...like I use a knife.,introducing an anarchy and seeing it in flames."

Batman crumbled his fingers out of disagreement.Joker asked him to relax and he had more to tell.


"Bane was clearly a solutionary,he wore mask he identified bat as problem he worked out he hated the elite."

"Yes,sometimes worst men give the best advice
wrong people teach u right lesson"

The conversation was interrupted by a beep sound.It was a thermal scanner.

"or no people could teach you ? "asked a surprised Joker.

Joker remembered he didn't kept social distance while slitting the mouth of mob leader.When he put a smile on that face,he forgot to put a mask on his own...

Instead of Bombing the hospital,he was admitted to the same hospital.

Corona is egalitarian.Spares no rich,no beggar...no hero, no villain.
