Batman Tales: Once Upon a Crime #[nn]

In a whimsical twist, Damian Wayne finds himself as a living puppet in a dreamworld where Bruce Wayne is his creator, Geppetto, and Alfred takes on the role of Jiminy Cricket—while Zatanna appears as a guiding fairy and Bat-Mite plays a mischievous imp. When the boy who dreams of being a real hero is lured to Pleasure Island by the Joker and Harley Quinn, he must navigate this fantastical version of Gotham before his dream unravels.

In this whimsical tale from *Batman Tales: Once Upon a Crime*, Detective Bullock and Officer Montoya find themselves sorting through Gotham’s rogues’ gallery, where each criminal’s confession takes the form of a twisted fairy tale—Harley Quinn’s version of "The Princess and the Pea" is a standout, blending absurdity with just enough truth to keep the investigation spinning.
