(deleted scene)
[The Batman visits someone at Arkham. He pushes a file into the partition drawer.]
Unseen Arkham Prisoner: A present. Almost our anniversary, isn't it?
Batman: He's a serial killer. I want your perspective.
Prisoner: First anniversary is paper! What makes you think I'd come so cheap?
Batman: I thought you'd be curious.
Prisoner: You think I get off on this stuff?
Batman: Don't you?
Prisoner: You have pictures. [reading the file] Oh, his violence is so baroque! Oh, he likes little puzzles, doesn't he? So meticulous, like he's been planning this his whole life. I know who he is!
Batman: Who? Who is he?
Prisoner: He's a nobody that wants to be somebody. The mayor, the commissioner. Yeah, he's got ambition.
Batman: You think his motive's political?
Prisoner: Oh, no, no. This is very personal. He feels these people have all wronged him. Probably goes way back: unhealed wounds, stolen lunch money.
Batman: And why is he writing to me?
Prisoner: Maybe he's a fan of yours? Or maybe he's got a grudge against you too. Maybe you're the main course. Any theories?
Batman: Not yet.
Prisoner: Really? You're normally so ahead of the curve, but something is different this time. This is very upsetting to you.
Batman: Let's get back to him.
Prisoner: Why? You're so much more fun!
Batman: I'm not here to talk about me.
Prisoner: What are you here to talk about?
Batman: I wanna know how he thinks.
Prisoner: You know exactly how he thinks. Have you read this file? You two have so much in common. Masked avengers! So he's even more righteous? Ah, you're afraid he makes you look soft. [laughs]
Batman: I'm wasting my time. [gets up to leave]
Prisoner: I'll tell you what I really think. I think you don't really care about his motives or whether he loves you or hates you. I think somewhere deep down you're just terrified, because you're not sure he's wrong! Huh? You think they deserved it, huh? You think they deserved it! [laughs uncontrollably]
