I hope that Waldo decides to prank the ever living hell out of Joker, the Clown goes to shoot someone and gets a mouldy pie to the face, tries to run from batman but his shoelaces are tied, pulls the old bang flag trick gun goes to pull the trigger again to shoot the flag and nothing happens cause it was swapped with a actual prank gun.

He will!

Meanwhile, I have a fic in SB where the self-insert is a cat and his favorite pastime is pranking the criminals and making their lives miserable. In one chapter the Joker gets RickRolled and he becomes the laughing stock of the internet.
The story is called Paws of Havoc

I have no way of thanking everyone for the good reception this story has had.
And thank you all for the awesome ideas!

Chapter 4​

Six months later (Takes place after chapter 1)

The Justice League members gathered in the futuristic hall of the Watchtower, whispers buzzing through the crowd. It wasn't every day that Batman summoned them all with such urgency. Not just the core League members—even the The Team were here. It was the sort of assembly that made everyone expect a world-ending catastrophe. Superman glanced around, nodding at familiar faces, while Wonder Woman stood at attention, eyes sharp with focus. Whatever this was, it had to be big.

Batman stood at the head of the room, arms crossed, his face as serious as ever. Robin, however, looked like he was seconds away from burying his head in his hands. He stood beside the Dark Knight, his expression a mix of exhaustion and something like disbelief.

"Thank you all for coming," Batman began, his gravelly voice cutting through the chatter. "We are facing a threat unlike anything we've encountered before." He tapped a button on his console, and a projector hummed to life behind him. The room went dark, save for the bright light of the screen, illuminating an image that left many of the assembled heroes blinking in confusion.

There, displayed in all its striped glory, was Waldo—the unmistakable red and white sweater, round glasses, and a cheerful bobbled hat.

A murmur rippled through the crowd. Green Lantern leaned over to The Flash, whispering, "Is he serious?" Flash stifled a laugh, trying to keep his composure.

Batman ignored them, stepping forward with a handful of photographs. "This," he continued, voice deadly serious, "is Waldo. And he is a level A threat." He began distributing the photos, each one showing a different street corner, store, or rooftop in Gotham, each with the same bespectacled figure circled in red—Waldo, otherwise blending perfectly into the chaos of the city.

Wonder Woman raised an eyebrow, glancing from the photo in her hand to Batman. "Batman, are you certain this is worth such an assembly?" she asked, her tone measured.

Robin groaned audibly, crossing his arms. "You've got to be kidding me."

Batman shot him a look before addressing the room. "Waldo is unlike any adversary we've faced. He has the power to become virtually undetectable. He can walk into secure facilities, evade any form of surveillance, and disappear without a trace." He paused, allowing the gravity of his words to sink in—or at least attempting to. "He could be here, this very moment," Batman added, his eyes scanning the room, as if daring Waldo to reveal himself.

Show yourself! It seemed like he wanted to say.

Aquaman frowned, holding up one of the photographs, squinting. "So... we're supposed to find this guy? In Gotham? That's it?"

Batman nodded, his face completely devoid of humor. "If we do not find Waldo before it's too late, Gotham—and potentially the world—could be in serious danger. He's already managed to rob a bank in Gotham, which isn't uncommon by itself—hundreds do that every year—but the way he did it, completely unnoticed, makes him a different kind of threat." He handed Green Arrow a pen and another photo, showing a blurry Waldo disappearing around a corner.

Superman coughed, struggling to maintain a neutral expression. "Batman, I don't mean to question your judgment, but... this seems a little—"

"He's dangerous," Batman cut in, his eyes narrowing. "Imagine someone with the ability to be anywhere, observe anything, without detection. Someone who can—"

"Steal hot dogs?" Robin muttered under his breath, barely audible, but enough for Aqualad, standing nearby, to snort. Because they had studied all his crimes for weeks. It seemed like he limited himself to petty crimes ninety eight percent of the time.

Batman shot Robin another glare, before continuing, his voice unwavering. "This isn't a joke. He has a power that makes him effectively invisible, capable of bypassing the most sophisticated security measures known to man. We need to locate him and assess the threat level before it escalates. I recommend everyone watch his photograph every fifteen seconds —as I do, but it went unsaid— so he remains in your consciousness. Losing focus on him could mean losing our chance to catch him."

The Flash raised a hand, a smile tugging at his lips. "So, just to clarify… we're literally playing the world's most bizarre manhunt"

Batman's stare could have frozen fire. "If that's what it takes, then yes." He handed Flash a photo and a pen. "Start in Central Gotham. Look for anything unusual." He began to distribute photographs and pens to everybody.

Green Lantern shook his head, a grin breaking through his usually composed demeanor. "Unusual? In Gotham? You know that's the entire city, right?"

Robin sighed, his shoulders slumping. He leaned towards Kid Flash, who was standing beside him, looking thoroughly amused. "I think he's losing it," he whispered, shaking his head. Kid Flash just gave him a blank stare, his mouth twitching upwards ever so slightly.

Batman, meanwhile, was moving with purpose, handing out more pens and photographs. "You all have your assignments. We need to move quickly, methodically. He's always one step ahead, always blending into the background. But we will find him." He paused, looking around the room, his eyes meeting each hero's gaze. "This is not just about Gotham. If we fail here, there's no telling what he might do next."

Superman sighed, tucking the photograph into his suit. "Alright, Batman. We'll find Waldo. But you owe us an explanation if this turns out to be… less apocalyptic than you're implying."

Batman nodded solemnly. "I promise you, this is no laughing matter."

Robin groaned again, muttering as he walked out of the room with the rest of The Team, "I swear, if we end up taking down a guy whose most relevant crime is a questionable fashion choice, I'm quitting."

And so, the Justice League—Earth's mightiest heroes—set out to scour Gotham for the elusive figure in the striped sweater, pens and photographs in hand. Some found it amusing, others bewildering, but none of them doubted Batman's determination. And perhaps, just perhaps, that was what made Waldo the most dangerous kind of adversary—the kind that even the Dark Knight believed was worth finding, before it was too late.




Oh no, batman is losing it

Did he ever have it in the first place? Let's see, he witnessed his parents murder when he was a child and instead of therapy, he traveled the world learning variety of skills and martial arts from a guild of deadly assassins. He's dresses up as a giant bat goes out, beating up the desperate and mentally ill with a variety of gadgets all funded by his family inheritance that should've been used to help improve the city…….. the answer to that question is no!

"waldo" (read batman) single handedly destroyed the justice league and teams confidence in batman. inadvertently dissolving the league due to a lack of funding from the Wayne foundation.

Batman nodded solemnly. "I promise you, this is no laughing matter."
