"Might as well come out," says Angel, "I know you're there."

Batman hesitates, then steps into the light. Most people seeing him are scared; Angel looks mildly surprised.

"What brings you to LA?"

"Don't you know?"

"You first."

"I think the Joker's using subliminal signals to hurt children."

"That's kinda why I'm here, but I don't think it's the Joker."

"What then? A foreign power? Aliens?"

"My guess is it's demons."

"Demons?"

"I'm pretty sure. Some kinda evil magic anyway. Somewhere in that direction." He heads towards a door.

Batman shrugs and follows him into a blast of blinding light.
