ROTFL: MAO!

[Bluemage]

Sorry, drakensis.  You picked the wrong section.

"Notice how quiet it's been in Gotham lately?" Lex asked with a grin.
"What did you do?" Bruce asked darkly.
"I
made arrangements." He glanced down at his watch. "As of twenty minutes
ago, Joker should have checked himself back into Arkham demanding that
they lock him up for the rest of his life."
"What?" Bruce almost shot to his feet.
"There
were defects in the original Lazarus pits engineered by the Manhunters
and designed to drive Ra's Al Ghul progressively mad. I had access to
the Manhunters' database and the method for correcting those defects."
Lex said casually. It was actually much more complex than he'd hinted
at, but they did not need to know that right now. "I had Ra's replaced
with an impostor to keep the League of Assassins in check after I drove
him sane."
Bruce looked as though he were ready to have an aneurysm. "You drove Ra's sane?"
"And
took over the League of Assassins." Lex said, stealing his drink back
to take a sip. "The real Ra's is in a sanitarium in upstate New York
recovering. He's had a rough century."
"How does Joker fit into this then?" Bruce asked tightly.
"I
wanted to see how well the perfected Lazarus pit could work." Lex said,
keeping his voice cool. He was doing his best not to make it too
obvious how terribly it had affected him, "I simply chose the craziest
individual I knew. I told him it would drive him sane. He said he wanted
to see it try. I bet him a Klondike bar that it would do it."
"And?"
"He came out crying, perfectly sane, remembering everything he's done with perfect clarity."
Bruce winced. "My God."
