“My former prince, it’s unpleasant to see you,” Snow White said smiling with that smile that is too sweet and prefect. Hiding the horror beneath. Grimhilde glance at her daughter, knowing too well what she’s hiding beneath the smile, and sees the rage underneath.

“The bombs that your people left, all have a red apple on them,” Batman said,

“Not me, this time,” Snow White said and looks at the approaching figure.

Batman looks down the hall and saw a plump middle aged woman dressed in a pink jacket over a yellow dress and wearing slippers with green hair walking towards him who is holding a flashlight and is shining it on him. Batman noticed that the light from the flashlight is causing his shadow to be casted towards the light instead of being behind him. The woman looks at him and steps on his shadow, suddenly Batman couldn’t move.

The woman pulled out a slip of paper from her jacket with a glyph on it which she tossed towards him and it activated causing a rune to appear in front of Batman’s face. Followed other items, from a smoke bomb that covered Batman with the yellow gas, a small idol, a green marble, and another flashlight that she shines on him.

“You can’t move while I’m on your shadow, and all the other items are different magic items that will force people to tell the truth, and the other flash light is a high tech device that is a truth light. I know how strong of a will you have, but you can’t take all of them at once, Bruce,” the woman said. (1)

“Bruce?” Snow White asked as her mother Grimhilde also pressed themselves against the transparent wall of their cell. Others close by are also have taken an interest.

“Who are you?” Batman asks.

“A mother whose child was harmed by your actions. I want the truth from you and this way, you can’t lie,” the woman said.

“I’m sorry,” Batman said knowing he has failed many.

“Why did you become this, when you could have done something to actually make things better for this city. You could have saved this city long ago, if you actually tried to save it. Not as Batman but who you are underneath that mask. From what I have seen you just continue to save the villains and let them kill as many people as they want, just so you can dress up,” the woman asked.

“To keep it all going, so that I can have control and never have time to reflect on my repressed trauma,” Batman said.

“Would you rather have a child die so that the villains you fight and keep this power fantasy alive, can continue? Yes or no?” the woman asks.

“Yes, I would,” Batman said shocking the people listening and himself admitting a truth he lied to himself.

“Why?” the woman asks.

“To keep it all going, so I don’t have to face the truth of how empty my life is without being Batman,” Batman said.

“And you couldn’t just deal with your trauma any other way?” the woman asks.

“No, I need to be this. To salvage what’s left of my soul, so that I can control what happens and not deal with my past,” Batman said.

“Because you saw your parents die in front of you, and no matter how many times that happens to other children. Not dealing with your PTSD, but just keeping the villains alive. So you can fight crime out of survivor's guilt and because you genuinely believes that it's your fault they were killed?” the woman asked.

“Yes,” Batman said.

“Your no killing rule, in the end is just so that the villains will continue to be villains?” the woman asks.

“Yes,” Batman said.

“Outside, you’re a brooding middle-aged man in a bat costume. Inside, you’re still a traumatized little boy crying over the death of your parents,” the woman asks.

“Yes,” Batman said.

“What happen to my boy, was all so you could continue this fantasy, you stop him from killing the Joker. Who in turn blew him up. Don’t you care at all, or is it all about you?” the woman asked.

“It’s all about me,” Batman said.

The woman started to glow and the walls turned to rubble as everything and everyone was lifted in the air. Looking around, Batman could see the entire city of Gotham also floating in the air. Everything around Batman were pulled away leaving him alone, as a giant the size of a mountain made out of earth and rock in the form of the woman, grew out of the ground before him.

The now giant woman glared at Batman as Joker was pulled from the rubble that use to be Arkham over to them. And she began to sing as music began to play out of nowhere.

In all my years of living
It isn't very often that I get pissed off
I try to keep clam
But damn, you crossed the line
I've been so gracious
Letting you tell your side
And yet, it’s worst than, I had thought
You allow harm to be done to my son
That's right, Izuku Midoriya you harm, is mine

“No,” Batman said as Joker laughs.

I'm left without a choice and without a doubt
Allowing the clown to blow up my son
Just so you can continue to be a man who dresses as a bat
Have you no shame, Bruce Wayne?
I've gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown
But before you go, I need to make you learn how

The cowl was pulled off of his head, revealing he is Bruce Wayne.

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
(Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ourselves

The woman pulled all the people of Gotham to float around her, letting them all see who Batman really is.

You are the worst kind of good 'cause you're not even great
A hero who reeks of false righteousness, that's what I hate
'Cause you fight to save lives, but won't kill and don't get the job done
I mean, you totally could have avoided all this had you just let my son kill the clown
But no

The woman said pointing her finger at Bruce who no longer could hide who he is.

You are far too nice, mercy has a price
It's the final crack, we're bound to break the ice now
I reveal your name, because you let him live
Unlike you, I've got no mercy left to give 'cause

The woman spread out her arms and the entire bat family is floating around her, including Alfred and Harold taken from the cave.

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
(Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ourselves

The woman looks down at Batman as she floats a slab of rock over and place Batman and Joker on it.

And now it is finally time to say goodbye, today you die
Unless, of course, you apologize
For my son's pain and all his cries
By doing what you should have done so long ago

The Joker is place in a stone guillotine, that grew out of the slab he and Batman is on. And a level that would drop the stone blade grew in front of Bruce.

You have this one chance to make things right
Pull the lever and I set everything back
I leave this place and never come back
Everyone around us, will get to live
As long as you kill the clown
Is his life worth all the lives around you?
For what reason could that be?

“I’m sorry for your lost, I never intended for Izuku to die. One life for all the lives around me, isn’t worth for me to kill. I rather have them all die then kill,” Batman said still under the power of all the telling the truth items used on him.

The woman looks darkly at Bruce as everyone around them, stared in horror at what Bruce just said.

The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible
So close your heart, the world is dark and
Ruthlessness is mercy
Die

All around them, buildings and people fell from the sky, with Bruce staring in horror. Watching the city he has protected and its people fall. Joker still bond in the guillotine, laughs.

“You could have saved them, but you rather have them all die, just so you wouldn’t have to kill,” the woman said to Bruce who is looking at her in horror.

The blade fell on the still laughing Joker, cutting off his head. Followed by stone slabs crushing his body between them. Leaving just a bloody paste behind. And the paste was burnt to nothing as the rocks turn to lava.

“He still died and you are left without a city and the people, know who you are and that you rather have all of them die, rather than kill to save them,” the woman said.

Screens appeared all around Bruce showing the major news networks showing him and the giant woman.

“You killed all of them,” Bruce said.

“No, I didn’t. You rather let them die, then take a life to save them. They will never trust you, your so called Bat family, your fellow heroes, and the people you should have protected. But this was never about justice, it was all about you having control,” the woman said.

“Of course it is,” Bruce said, still telling the truth.

“Disgusting,” the woman said lowering to the ground as she sank into the earth, with Bruce on the slab following.

Bruce eyes widen as he got to ground level, the people she had drop are all still live. The city of Gotham and the surrounding urban areas are gone, but the people are all still alive. The woman continue to stare at Bruce till her building sized head disappeared into the ground, leaving him alone, surrounded by the people he admitted to dying so he wouldn’t have to take a life.

The Bat family all stared at him with anger and disappointment at his choice. Mirrored by everyone else around him. Knowing the truth about Batman and how it was never about justice. (2)

“Bruce,” Superman said appearing above him, looking at Bruce with utter contempt for his actions. “You’re coming with me.”

Author's Note

1 - Seeing how Batman is very strong willed, hitting him with many different ways to force him to tell the truth would do it.

2 - Besides the real life reasons of always saving the villain so that the work of fiction can continue. There is no good reason for it in real life.
