This li'l tautology:
"It is shap'd, sir, like itself, and it is as broad as it hath breadth; it is just as high as it is, and moves with its own organs. It lives by that which nourisheth it, and the elements once out of it, it transmigrates."

I love it. I even wrote some Macbeth fanfic with my friend for a school project... And one of my more ambitious fanfic projects is rewriting Batman as a Shakespearean play...

Yep. I'm trying to compress everything into iambic pentameter and ten-syllable rhymes as well. The Joker's a dragon/hell baron, the Penguin is a bit like Tyrion Lannister, and Bane is a viking berserker. I'm planning on having Superman introduced in the end, implying that it was not only the first superhero movie, but it would have been the first case of superhero sequelitis if Will hadn't retired.

It also features a few of my obscure favorites to a lesser extent (Like Dr. Destiny Abbatoir and Flamingo). The general point of the whole thing is that Batman cannot kill the demon trickster, and the Joker is having too much fun with him to kill Batman. It culminates in a battle where Batman sacrifices his future to save the world from the Joker's evil grasp. This is satisfying enough to the Demon, who grabs Batman's knife slices his own throat open in front of Batman in order to screw with him and complete the pact. Batman and his friends and adversaries will reincarnate and be locked in warfare for the fate of the earth until the end of days, hence why there's so many alternate batmans from alternate timelines. But for now, Goetiam is saved, and Batman leaves the fiefdom in disgrace, being creditted as a hero for killing the Dracojester, but being really stressed out and angry because he killed someone.
He decides to give up being Batman for now and spend his days in a Scottish monastery, which is established during an epilogue conversation between the new king and Medieval Commissioner Gordon. at some point during this convo, Superman is referenced, which would've been the point that the new play would've been built on, but then Shakespeare decided to write "The Tempest" and get busy dying instead.
