Disney Movies

Jonathan Crane walked into the living room.

Which was easily the worst thing he could have done at that precise moment.

Of course, had he known the Riddler's latest girlfriend had just dumped him and he was curled on the couch with a box of tissues and a carton of ice cream while flipping through channels, he might have left quietly through the back door and made a mad dash down the street.

Of course there was no turning back now.

Especially since the second Eddie saw the Scarecrow, he made a flying tackle, pulled the Master of Fear down, then practically dragged him to the couch and clung to him.

Jonathan sighed and patted the Riddler's head.

"Who was it this time?"

"STEEELLLAAAAA!" the Riddler wailed. "Her name was Stella…and she was SO PRETTY! But she HATED me…oh, yes, she did! SHE STABBED ME!!"-he pointed to his heart-"RIGHT HERE! OOOH THE PAAAAIN…"

The Scarecrow suppressed a sigh. "Why did she dump you?"

Eddie stopped mid-sob and cocked his head to one side. "I don't know…something about not paying attention…"

Jonathan rolled his eyes. "Look, Eddie, it's ok. Plenty of fish in the sea…"

The Riddler sniffed but rubbed his eyes. "I suppose you're right…wanna watch something on TV with me?" The Prince of Puzzles looked at Jonathan, his green eyes wide and watery.

Jonathan sighed. "Ok…"

"Oh, good!" Grabbing the remote, Eddie began to flip through channels. "Nothing…nothing…nothing…nothing….noth-ooh! Disney!"

Jonathan scowled. "Disney?"

"Yeah! Awww…it's a little deer…"

"Eddie, I do not want to watch 'Bambi.'"

"Please?"

"…oh, ok, fine. But I might fall asleep."

"That's ok!"

The two sat in silence for several minutes.

And then Bambi's mom was killed.

Eddie stared at the screen, horrified. "OH NO! WHYYYY DISNEY?! WHY MUST YOU DO THIS?!"

Jonathan smirked. "Ha."

The Riddler whirled. "'Ha'?! How can you be so insensitive?! Look at him! All alone…with only Thumper…and that little skunk…oh, it's so sad!"

The Scarecrow sighed. "I don't like Disney."

Eddie shook his head. "Oh, don't be silly! Everybody likes Disney!"

"Well, I don't."

Suddenly the Riddler got what Jonathan had dubbed the 'idea face'.

"I know!"

"Oh, no."

Reaching over, Eddie picked up his green cell-phone and pushed a speed-dial.

"Hi, Harley! It's Eddie! I need every Disney movie you have over her ASAP! Thanks!"

Jonathan groaned and squeezed his eyes shut.

This was going to be a long night…
