Hollywood What If Chapter 537
The studio lights dimmed for a moment before the camera moved to reveal a new figure stepping onto the chaotic set.
A man in a purple suit with a painted white face and smeared red lipstick. It was Heath Ledger, fully in character as the Joker. He walked toward Kazir and Justin Timberlake.
"Oh, Batsy! Look at you, breaking jaywalkers' legs. Why so serious!?"
Heath giggled, his voice hinting at mockery.
Kazir, still seated like a tyrannical director on an uncomfortable chair, nodded.
Scarlett stuffed another grape into his mouth.
"Finally, someone who gets it! Joker, my man, at least you understand that justice is nothing but rules and regulations."
Justin Timberlake, still in his Batman costume, dramatically turned to Heath.
"Joker, what are you doing here? This isn't your scene! We talked backstage!"
The Joker (Heath Ledger) gave a sinister laugh and pointed at Justin.
"This is my scene, Batsy. The writers are gone for a year because of the writer's strike. Kazir and I wrote the script. You're just a guest star in my show!"
'... Perhaps that's really the reason why this segment is so stupid,' Kazir thought to himself while playing along.
Kazir clapped slowly. "Bravo, Heath. I mean, Joker. That's the energy we need! Justin, take notes."
Suddenly, the sound of heavy boots echoed. Christian Bale appeared from the darkness, wearing his full Batman suit. He looked edgy as fuck.
The real Dark Knight had entered the stage.
Christian walked straight up to Justin Timberlake, towering over him.
"What... is this?" he growled in his iconic Batman voice, pointing at Justin's cheap imitation costume.
"This is a disgrace to Gotham!"
"What's the difference between you and me!?"
"I don't wear hockey pads."
"What?"
"Never mind," Christian replied quickly.
"I-I'm just doing what the director told me!"
Justin stammered, his fake Batman voice cracking.
He pointed at Kazir. The director was still munching grapes that Scarlett offered.
Christian turned to Kazir.
"Kazir, what is this nonsense? Eating grapes? Jaywalking arrests? Beating the shit out of a small criminal? Justice for Gotham? This isn't Batman!"
Kazir stood up dramatically, pointing a finger at Christian.
"Listen, Christian, I'm the director here! You're just an actor. You want to talk about Batman? Sit down and let me teach you how to say 'Justice for Gotham' properly!"
"We live in a society!" Heath Ledger joined in.

Their performance in SNL was chaotic, but it was obvious that they were having fun.
A week from now, The Dark Knight would be released in theaters, and the cast was getting busy promoting the movie. One of the reasons why they played along with SNL's segment.
The production crew of The Dark Knight had already prepared a hotel for the cast to rest in after attending SNL. Kazir and Scarlett stayed in one room while Christian and Heath had their own respective rooms to rest.
Before they went to sleep, they were invited by the producer of SNL to have a drink, and the cast complied.
Kazir talked to Heath and Christian. Some of the cast of SNL 2008 also talked to them. Some even asked for autographs, and most of them asked for Kazir's autograph. The cast of SNL changed every season, although some people stayed, especially if the audience liked them.
The cast of SNL tried to talk to Kazir, hoping that the famous director had roles for them in his new projects. However, Kazir had no intention of working next year.
Some female actresses tried to flirt with him, but Scarlett was there, so no one succeeded. Kazir never entertained any woman, so it was impossible for something to happen.
Tomorrow, the main cast of The Dark Knight would attend a charity event for children who had cancer. Celebrities attended this event to help raise money for the kids.
Batman was a superhero, and kids loved him. Obviously, Warner Brothers would use this chance to promote the movie by attending a charity event for children. However, there was nothing wrong with helping cancer patients, especially children.
The next day, Kazir and Scarlett woke up naked and decided to go to the shower at the same time... They spent quite a while in the shower since they knew they still had time to play around.
After that, they wore casual clothes. They had to meet the designer and the makeup artist that the production crew hired before changing into formal attire... That preparation would take them at least two hours.
Kazir and Scarlett came out of the hotel room. Christian was already waiting for them.
"Did you just come out?" Kazir asked.
"Yeah, I slept till 11 a.m. What we drank yesterday took a toll on me."
"That's why I told you not to drink too much," Kazir chuckled.
"Let's meet Heath. I'm sure that guy is also having a hangover."
They reached Heath's door and knocked on it. A few seconds later, no one responded. Christian knocked again, but nothing happened.
"Perhaps Heath already left the hotel and went early."
"Maybe he's still sleeping," Scarlett added.
However, Kazir had a different opinion. His heartbeat started going crazy.
"Scarlett, I want you to contact the hotel manager and tell him to bring the spare key to Room 305."
"Huh, but why?"
"Just trust me."
Kazir's expression was so serious that Scarlett instinctively nodded.
"Make it fast."
When Scarlett entered the elevator, Kazir tried to open the door.
"Dude, just chill. You don't have to be serious."
Christian was getting nervous as he watched Kazir taking a few steps backward.
Christian was shocked when Kazir kicked the door so hard, but it didn't budge.
"Bro, what the fuck."
"Christian, help me open the door."
