Mr. Amlan Satan had made his Wall-St. earnings based Gotham City company a major success to complement his princely-inherited fortunes before deciding to become some kind of prowling masked vigilante, at first to just rid his darkened city skies of rumored 'blood-diamond' smugglers-roads rogue finances with carefully plotted bank-box swaps of gems with glass-animal toys for eco-message. All the while, he toiled to don the right Gotham vigilante persona to create fear in the hearts of evildoers, especially when Devil's Night, the annual night of dangerous mischief before Halloween came (damn).

MR. SATAN: This city stinks, Alfred friend.

PENNYWORTH (Alfred/Butler): You sound so superstitious these days, sir!

MR. SATAN: Well, if I couldn't confide in you about leprechauns, who else?

PENNYWORTH: Maybe you just need a lady-friend...maybe a science woman!

MR. SATAN: What I need to determine if this Mad Hatter is my twin/brother?

PENNYWORTH: Mr. Ajay Satan...estranged twin from Algiers...now evil, sir?

MR. SATAN: Maybe I should don a name/title for vigilantism like night-vision.

PENNYWORTH: Well, bats are survivors and exhibit glowing night-views, sir.

MR. SATAN: That's it, Alfred friend...the Batman...but who's the Mad Hatter?

PENNYWORTH: Maybe just someone who resented Lewis Carroll class IQ, sir.

MR. SATAN: Maybe (Facebook-like?).

Fortunately, for Gothamites, Mr. Amlan Satan (the emerging dark knight of the darkened city self-named/titled as 'the Batman') was going to find the right keys/notes for crime-solving and insanity in the 21st-Century of strong/serious/valued capitalism-focus for leviathan/uncertainty. However, Amlan was right about the Mad Hatter, a mystery-man criminal and evildoer...but he didn't (already) conclude the Hatter (a bad reference to a Lewis Carroll story character about logistics insanity in civilization!) was (really) his estranged (evil) twin-brother (Mr. Ajay Satan).

HATTER: If this 'Batman' sees Gotham as virtue, I see it as vice-card, ha.

ASSOCIATE: Maybe your special hat-persona and visage is Facebook-like!

HATTER: Oh, if I only had a cutie science-building damsel for card-game?

ASSOCIATE: I'll find some Gotham Aquarium oceanographer, Mad Hatter!

HATTER: Sounds-dialysis for leviathan/uncertainty, associate (thanx).

The Hatter (Ajay) successfully snatched Gotham's own aquarium-houses oceanographer (Dr. Phyllis Law), an Ivy-circles scholar of great sea consciousness intuitions for preservations, to draw in the mysterious 'Batman' in a deadly warehouse game involving graffiti and flame-throwers for the soul (damn). However, Batman explained, upon arrival to the hostage-holding warehouse outside Gotham City, "Law is Jabberwocky...and maybe you're my twin, Hatter (hmmm)."

PHYLLIS: Thanx for the shoe-joke (Facebook-like).

With the Hatter chased into incarceration, the Batman decided he was on the right-path to fighting evil in insane Gotham (for now!). However, when Hatter (Ajay Satan) escaped, and he vowed to use Phyllis (once-more) in some card-game for hellmouths, Batman (his good twin) decided this newfound life of protection for glass and ornaments would (somehow) restore a ghost-magic ideal concerning capitalism's jellyfish cities (for the Ego).
