Unless he's not on the run from Bat-man because Bat-man is indisposed for one reason or another. Surely the man can't be dead, can he? All the more reason the Joker has no reason to run away and less reason for you to have no contact with Bat-Man.
[Now he might be a touch suspicious. The logic isn't adding up now that's reviewed the details, but he was planning on looking in that building anyway. Just tomorrow and not a few days off.]
I will investigate once I have traveled that distance. I am in search of supplies for myself, so each building along the way may cause me to pause while I search.
If he's killed Batman, there's a chance he'll revive. No telling where, but if I were on the run from someone, I'd get out of the place that's a dead end, too. And it might be he just left the man tied up.
[John pulls a bit of a face to himself. He is not the best liar, and this fabrication is getting away from him a bit. Better to cut off the conversation before the whole thing unravels.]
I understand you've got your own survival to look after, of course. I'll check to see if anyone else is in the area who might be able to get there a little faster. But if not, just a look-in would be helpful. Thank you, Mr. Pierce, and I really am sorry to put so much on your straight out the gate. I'm just not sure who else I could really talk to about this, though.
How long does it take for a revival to occur in general, assuming that one is going to happen in the first place? You may run, but he's insane and they don't always follow a logical track, especially if he's been held against his will for two weeks.
[Then again, he could just tell John to ask the Joker were Batman was, but it seemed pointless at present. He wasn't there to discern the answer himself to be able to tell if it was an excellent lie or not.]
No worries, doctor. I'm glad I could be of what little service that I was, and I will be certain to check in on that building as soon as I can reasonably get there. I will always offer what advice I can on such difficult matters to you or anyone else.
It varies considerably. When I died a little while back, it took a day. Others can take a week or more. The longest revival time I know of was 52 days.
So the body, assuming there is one, could still be there by the time I arrive. I will do what I can to hurry through the downtown area. I will let you know what I find, if anything.
[No, there's not the slightest chance a body would be there. John wonders if he should risk lying about that. No, better to not. That's something he can check easily enough.]
That would be unlikely, sir. Unattended bodies have a way of going missing very quickly. It's more likely he'd be in a morgue by now. But anything he left in a drawer or a cupboard would still be there. Enclosed areas. Never leave anything you want to keep out.
[Well, he is getting into the swing of this place with all this information sharing. Yet another interesting fact. He would be up to speed faster than even he would admit.]
Isn't that just an interesting point of fact? Then I will be certain to do a very thorough search of the place when I arrive, assuming you find no one closer before then.

[That should buy him some time, logically.]
