Alfred’s voice crackled through the intercom speaker with, “Master Bruce… I haven’t the faintest idea what you are going on about and now fear that you’re in another of your ‘Hot Pocket hot messes’ once again.”

Irritated, he looked at the wall behind the toaster oven, noticing that the spotlight symbol shining from across the Wayne compound was actually a distressingly familiar letter “R.”
“Curse you, Ratman,” seethed Bruce, internally reminding himself to contact his lawyer to see how that trademark infringement lawsuit against “the Hero this City Deserves” is going.

You know what? I feel like dusting this off, especially now that we’ve got some new people to play with.
The story so far:
“We need your help,” Risotto said, “because our favorite show has been canceled (again).”

Wayne pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling an exasperated sigh “The muppets? Again? Bat-christ on a bat-cracker.”

“Wait,” the dog said, “we came here to talk to the studio owner, but there’s only one man in Gotham who would bat-swear like that…”

Wayne grumbles, “Bruce Wayne always bat-swears like this,” and hauls himself reluctantly to his feet, “Well? Let’s go.”

“There’s only one bat-thing to do when you’ve been bat-canceled this many times”, Bruce bat-growled. “Kickstarter!”
Kermit and Risotto stare at Bruce in shock, but the dog is still as cool as a dog in a shaded kiddie pool on a breezy summer day. 
“Listen Wayne, the jig is up”, the dog growled, “the dame heard that code you were tapping back in the hallway, and it can only mean one thing…”
Dame Judy Dench steps out from around the corner and glowers at Wayne in the way that only Judy Dench can, and grumbles “That’s right, let’s ride,” then throws Wayne a Sidehackers-themed motorcycle helmet.

“All states but Delaware are facing a shortage of non-stick bubble gum,” Dench explained, “It’s even worse that when the mayor publicly admitted he was a droid and put a roller disco in City Hall.”
With that, everyone wheelied out of Bruce Wayne’s motorycycle garage, “We Built This City” playing on their perfectly synced motorcycle boomboxes.

As the garage door returned to its original position, Alfred peered inside to make sure everyone had left and, with a smile, brought Bruce’s Hot Pocket up to his withered mouth.
Alfred bit into the Hot Pocket and immediately regretted it, screaming in pain as the molten cheese burned a hole in the roof of his mouth.
Noticing the odd glint of perfectly white teeth ahead in the bushes, Bruce Wayne slowed for a better look, falling behind the other riders, when the front wheel of his batcycyle suddenly fell off.
“Thank goodness Dame Judy Dench gave me this motorcycle helmet to wear” Bruce thought to himsef as he toppled head-over-handlebars.
“What was that noise?” Kermit asked, as the rest of the group rode away, oblivious to the fact that the batmobile had lost a wheel, and the Joker got away.
No one could hear Kermit over the roar of the motorcycles and Bruce Wayne’s helmeted head skidding across the asphalt.
As Clark walked over and turned off his new television, he thought, “these Muppet movies are getting weirder and weirder - Metropolis needs another TV station.”
