HEY, KID, YOU'RE   A LONG WAY   FROM NICKTOONS!

Some TMNT stuff was always meant for grownups.

(On the roof of the Gotham City Police Department, Commissioner Gordon meets with Batman. The Bat Signal shines into the night sky.) James Gordon "Just keep telling yourself..." Gordon "It's just a Tuesday. Things can't get any weirder on a Tuesday." Batman "Jim. Tell me what's happened." Gordon "I long for the days when I had a simple answer to that question." Gordon "Just tell me you don't have any more headaches tucked in those gauntlets of yours." Raphael "I guess that depends..."

(Commissioner Gordon is startled to see Raphael and Leonardo are nearby.) Raphael "We look like headaches to you?" Gordon "Just close your eyes and think about retirement." Gordon "Somewhere warm where the giant turtles don't talk." Batman "Jim... they're friends." Gordon "So, that's what friends look like, do they? Barbara keeps telling me I should make a few. But I have to say, I think I might pass." Batman "What's happened?" Gordon "It's Arkham." Gordon "We found Jeremiah Arkham pinned against the gates with four katana a few hours ago. He said that the asylum is no longer under his control." Gordon "It's now "The Grand Fortress of the Foot Clan." His words, not mine. I trust they mean more to you than they do to me." Gordon "From our helicopters, it looks like the whole place is teeming with armed guards. And I mean armed to the teeth. And what they are doing in there..." Gordon "Like I said, I long for the days..." Gordon "...Hear the bird out yourself." (The Penguin approaches.) Batman "Penguin..." Penguin "The Shredder is building an army to burn Gotham City to the ground." Penguin "The process has already begun."

Penguin "He is going too far, Batman. I never should have let him in." Penguin "He's taken everything from me, and I guarantee you do not want to face what he can do with my resources." Leonardo "Why should we listen to you?" Penguin "Trust me, boy, I do not find this remotely amusing... and my patience has worn very thin." Penguin "I am putting myself on the line by lying to Shredder like this. If he suspects anything, there's no telling what he'll do to me." Leonardo "Yeah, and I'm sure you didn't make any kind of deal to make sure you're off the hook for what Shredder's been getting up to." Penguin "Do not give me a reason to incriminate myself in front of the Commissioner. I'm here to help you stop this maniac and his new partner." Batman "Partner..." Penguin "What, Batman? You didn't think your old friend would get curious when a new ninja clan claimed Gotham for its own?" Penguin "Did you really think the League of Assassins would stand by on the sidelines?" Batman "Ra's Al Ghul." Gordon "Batman, we have the facility surrounded, but I can't see any way through without massive casualties. We're holding the front, but that's about all we can do for now." Gordon "Can you help us?"
