Hi, I loved your autistic Jervis hcs sm! It’s so hard to find stuff like that so it was a really nice read.

If it ain’t too much trouble would you be up for writing a BTAS Jonathan Crane or Harley with an s/o who’s got a chronic condition like arthritis?

I totally understand if not! Hope you’re well ❤️

Hello, Crash! ^^

Thank you so much for your appreciation of my work, it really makes me so happy to know people like the topics I choose write about! ^^

And it really is hard to find fanfics with Gotham rogues about such topics, so I just try to provide the content I crave in case someone out there is like me and needs this sort of stuff. ^^ <3

And of course, thank you for your request! The arthritis topic hits close to home since my mum suffers from it, so the moment I saw your request, I already had ideas on what to include, though I can't say I'm an expert on the condition. ^^"

And honestly, I'm really happy about your request because I've been dealing with massive understimulation thanks to having no ideas for what to write! But I'm feeling better now, thank you!

Hope you're well too, and I hope you'll enjoy reading these! <3 <3 ^3^

{BTAS: Jonathan Crane, Harley Quinn having a s/o suffering from rheumatism}

___________________________________________

Settings: Romantic focused,

Genre: Fluff with a bit of Hurt/Comfort feel,

!TRIGGER WARNING!: Talks about a loved one having chronic illness, mentions of feeling hopeless, a bit sad feels here and there, and I made one suggestive comment in Harley's part, Harley's part is a bit more emotional with harder hurt aspects, that should be all though ^^,

Sidenote: I am no expert on rheumatism, so this is mostly a mix of everything that came to mind, and the topic of rheumatism isn't addressed to detail,

That should be all,

Sidenote: Gender of reader is not specified, but if reader description might be leaning a little more into a feminine sense, then it's purely unintentional, and I genuinely apologize!

Feel free to read, muffincakes <3

~Jonathan Crane~

~Jonathan is a sadist to some extent,

~However he's not a complete asshole,

~so, finding enjoyment in a chronic illness (especially a physical one) is a hard no,

~especially if the one suffering is his loved one,

~He normally doesn't have much empathy for people,

~but since it's you- his lover- he really does sympathize with you,

~and he can't bring himself to be his grumpy self with you,

~Soft Jonny hours, <3

~Jonathan really wishes he could take away your pain, make the illness stop,

~but he can't do that, so he has to settle for making your state more endurable,

~And he really tries,

~If your arthritis is bad to the point you can't work,

~Jonny really tries to secure both of you financially,

~if we're talking about Jonny that still works at the university,

~then he thinks of how to get more income, mostly considering one on one tutoring,

~as well as asking for a raise or doing some scientific research on the side,

~If we're talking about post Scarecrow Jonathan, then he's finding different ways of getting the needed money or medication,

~mostly robberies and raiding hospitals for the medical treatment you require,

~And if you really can't work and you depend on other people,

~then Jon's really trying his best to balance out work and assisting you,

~again, if we're talking about Jonathan who still works for Gotham university,

~then he'd try to hire you an assistant if you really find it hard to work on your own,

~he's really worried about leaving you alone,

~and his mind constantly replays scenarios of what could possibly happen if you were to remain alone,

~However, if we're talking about Jonathan as a Scarecrow,

~then he's most likely assigning his men to be at your beck and call,

~and they better obey and assist well, otherwise heads are gonna roll,

~Still though, Jonathan tries to be home with you as much as possible to assist you,

~He doesn't really push you to do housechores either,

~So, if you're having a flare up one day, and you can't bring yourself to do any chores,

~Jonny is not angry,

~he's understanding, and considerate,

~And if you feel bad about being unable to work around your shared apartment, Jonny comforts you,

~he may be a bit rusty in the comfort department, but he does his best,

~Jonathan is also really supportive, trying his best to accommodate to your needs,

~but also be your hype man, and keep you happy,

~So, he fully supports you seeing a physiotherapist to ease up your pain,

~he even accompanies you to all appointments to know what specific exercises can help you,

~and he makes sure to help you proceed with them,

~But if you don't want to go to physiotherapy,

~then Jonathan is content on helping you find exercises or some easy sports that can help you with your rheumatism,

~And while Jonathan isn't that much of a sports guy, he'll gladly accompany you during said sports,

~Also, if you're having a flare up, an especially bad day,

~Jonny tries his best to help the pain be more tolerable,

~which means lots of massages,

~Jonathan buys some relieving creams and oils,

~and he gives you long massages,

~But if your flare up is really bad and you can't even stand being touched from how in much pain your joints are,

~then Jonathan runs you a warm bath in hopes of easing up your pain,

~and he also always makes sure you've got enough of medication and painkillers supplies,

~Also, if your pain gets so bad to the point you can't sleep at night,

~Jonathan stays up with you,

~and that goes even for when Jonny is a professor/psychologist,

~he stays up with you even if he's got work the next day,

~Jonny also gets the most frustrated at these times,

~because he can't really help you,

~and all he can do is sit in the living room with you, drink some coffee/tea, watch tv and hold you,

~he really just can keep you company and let you know you're not on your own in this,

~At times Jonny even thinks of creating some pain-relieving toxin,

~something to drug you a little and make you forget the pain,

~but he knows that'd be a bit too risky,

~and he doesn't want to risk your well-being, especially not when you're already suffering,

~And so, he sticks with the traditional ways of helping and supporting you,

~Also, if you have to use injections as means of treatment, and you don't have the guts to do it on your own,

~then you can definitely count on Jonathan giving you the shots,

~and he's really careful and gentle,

~not even once did you get bruises after the injections with Jonny,

~And he always caresses the skin after the shots, <3

~And I'm not sure if I should say it but...

~if you're afraid of needles, Jonathan does kind of like how you tense up and your heart races when it's time for the injection...

~but he does shush you eventually, after getting his fill of fear,

~he then eases your mind, and he makes sure you're not as tense since getting shots is more painful if you're all tense,

~Also, a thing Jonathan started doing is kissing your aching parts,

~especially wrists and fingers,

~and those kisses happen especially when you're having a good day,

~For example your pain isn't as severe one day, so you make dinner for you and Jonathan?

~He comes home and is ecstatic!

~And he gently takes your dominant hand, and he kisses your fingers, knuckles and wrist,

~and he praises you so much,

~he praises you for how well you've handled that day, and how strong you are, and how happy you make him, <3

~He's really gentle with you, he doesn't have the heart to be grumpy with you,

~you're really bring so much light into his life, he's so soft for you, <3

______________________

~Harley Quinn~

~Now, Harley is a sensitive girl,

~and seeing her lover in never ending cycle of pain,

~that is the greatest torture imaginable for her,

~While she's a great supporter, sweet, positive and upbeat,

~your flare ups really are soul crushing for Harley,

~because she knows she can't really make the pain stop, not now, not ever,

~But! That makes her twice as set on bringing joy into your life!

~If you can't really work because of your rheumatism, no worries,

~Harley isn't really tight on money,

~I mean, she doesn't really need to spend money on medication and stuff cuz...

~she is a criminal... she... she can steal all that is needed,

~And since Harley isn't all that busy with work after abandoning her position as a psychiatrist,

~she's basically free to accommodate to your needs anytime!

~Though yes, Joker needs her here and there,

~but he no longer requires Harley as his 24/7 sidekick after Harley made it clear who's her main priority,

~and yes, Joker isn't too happy about it cuz he used to have Harley wrapped around his finger before she started dating you,

~but they still share a strong connection, and Joker is capable of understanding that you need Harley's assistance more than he does,

~Joker even sometimes sends his best regards when Harley's returning home to you,

~Also, whenever Harley is free to be home with you and is able to care for you,

~she takes her responsibilities very seriously and she goes all out,

~And I mean it,

~she's even gotten herself a nurse costume for whenever she's caring for you,

~and she kind of roleplays as a nurse from time to time,

~she wants to entertain you and make you smile, <3

~and if you're in the mood, you might get a bit spicier nurse treatment (⁠.⁠ ~ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

~And if you require to regularly take medication,

~Harley always makes sure you do take it,

~because on your better days you might feel like you don't need the meds,

~but Harley never lets you skip them,

~not unless the doctors do say that you're getting better and you might not need as much of said medication,

~Also, if you have to get shots as a mean of treatment but you can't do them on your own,

~Harley will gladly do those for you!

~She's really careful, and oh so sweet about it,

~she makes sure you're relaxed, she talks you through the whole process,

~and she praises you once the whole thing is over,

~and she also kisses the spot she injected, <3

~Also, Harley will gladly help you with physiotherapy,

~while still wearing her nurse costume, yes,

~she can't really accompany you to appointments,

~but she does make her research on what exercises are good for your arthritis,

~and her favourite exercises are those that require assistance,

~she likes feeling helpful and needed! :<

~Oh, and if you feel like it, Harley's up to trying changing your diet,

~Raw or lightly cooked vegetables, spices, including turmeric and ginger, fruit, yogurt,

~she'll get you or prepare you meals including these,

~and Harley's a really good cook!

~And speaking of cooking,

~if you're having a bad flare up and can't really cook or do any chores around the house,

~you don't have to worry, because Harley will gladly do those,

~she'll take care of everything if you need,

~But she won't hold you back if you really want to do something around the house,

~then she'll be your cheerleader, she'll hype you up and support you through the whole thing,

~she'll cheer for you, tell you how strong and amazing you are,

~she'll squeeze you in a hug, she'll shower your face in kisses while praising you,

~but she'll also remind you to take breaks to not overdo it,

~And even if you do the bare minimum during a bad day,

~Harley will celebrate your accomplishments with great joy,

~she wants you to know that you're not any less just because you can't do much because of your pain,

~and she really likes to assure you that you are enough and you're doing enough,

~just lots and lots of words of affirmation,

~especially when frustration eats away at you,

~Those moments really break Harley's heart,

~those moments when you feel bad not only physically but also emotionally,

~Harley really hates that she can't just kiss it all better...

~And the hardest it is during bad flare ups,

~Harley often feels like crying when seeing just in how much pain you are,

~especially when your flare ups are so bad you can't even sleep at night,

~but she tries her best to keep her head high up and be there for you,

~after all, her tears wouldn't help anything,

~During those nights when your pain is so bad to the point you can't sleep,

~Harley usually sits down on the couch in the living room, and has you lay your head in her lap while she plays with your hair,

~and she often just talks about anything that comes to mind,

~or if you don't feel like talking,

~then Harley lets you pick a show to watch,

~and you watch it together until you fall asleep or until morning comes,

~But if that's not enough, Harley also gladly gets into a warm bath with you,

~and she lets your body soak in the warmth while she massages your aching joints,

~Also about Harley wanting to keep you happy,

~she constantly comes up with silly ideas to get you to smile,

~especially during flare ups,

~and during your flare ups, Harley really is up for your every beck and call,

~you don't have to move an aching finger,

~she'll even spoon feed you if you so needed,

~and she'll always make sure you never run out of painkillers,

~She really just wants to make your condition more endurable,

~she really tries her best because she really adores you, <3

How would various Riddlers of your choosing react to their s/o calling them a "greenbean" as an affectionate nickname (mostly in private)?

"Lean Greenbean" Riddler Party Ask x Reader

Of my choosing! Why, I choose ALL OF THEM.

TW: None

Gotham

Mixed feelings on this! It's not that he minds nicknames, no, not at all! Greenbean, bean pole, string bean... All of these are the sort of thing he was called growing up as a scrawny, gangly kid. There were much worse names later on, but anything involving being a slim bean were the first and some of the ones he remembers the most.

If it's you, it'll gain a positive spin. He'll warm up to it and feel happy when he hears it just because it's you.

60s

Oh it gives him the giggles. Given what he wears is always covered in green, he finds it fitting.

He flutters his eyelashes, "Only if I'm your greenbean, pretty." Followed by a laugh.

He calls you all kinds of nicknames, it only makes sense you'd come up with one for him!

Capullo/Zero Year

Like 60s, he also has a lot of nicknames for his S/O. Unlike him, however, ZY is very unsure of "Greenbean" at first.

Look, this is a man who holds up a very intense facade of NOT being a loser (though he is, he has the social skills of a wet cat), and this little nickname could harm that image he's trying to put out.

But... BUT! If you really like it and... and you only say it in private and... You kiss him and he flushes. FINE! Fine, he will be a greenbean.

BTAS

Why, darling, is this you being cute again? A coy little smile on his face. You would bestow him with such an epithet as a signature of your affection?

Genuinely, his S/O hangs the moon in his eyes so unless it was a mean or harsh nickname, he'd take it.

Telltale

No. Just no. What kind of nonsense-

If you're just teasing him in private, it's fine. Expect him to call you his "silly little pet/minx" when you do. If you press too hard, you will get the most exasperated groan. He's so put out.

Arkham

Are you making fun of him? He has a whole speech lined up if you're trying to diminish him and his accomplishments in any way! Childish, moronic school yard shenanigans!

He'll huff and puff about you possibly being rude to him in any way which is hilarious given how demeaning and downright CALLOUS he can be.

"Oh." Is what he says when he figures it out. A blush on his cheeks. You're so ridiculous, why does he keep you around- (As he's mentally picturing making out with you right there.)

2022 Edward Nashton

ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF HIM? Please don't be making fun of him genuinely, it would crush his poor heart. So many people have been so cruel to him in the past, not you too, not when he's gotten vulnerable and soft-bellied for you-

When you reassure him that it's meant to be affectionate, he pauses and blushes. Right. Pet names. People... people do that for people they love. He likes calling you his angel so you'll call him...

Greenbean. Yay.

Hi, I want to read some DC comics about how Harvey transformed from former DA to the criminal mastermind who ruled half of Gotham's Underworld (against the Penguin). I've already read/seen: Two-Face: A Celebration of 75 Years Batman: The Long Halloween Batman: Dark Victory (1999) Batman '89 Batman: The Animated Series Batman: The Audio Adventures

Any other reading recommendations? Thanks a lot for your help. :)

So you're looking for origin stories, or at least ones that shed more light on Two-Face's origin? Well first off, I'm glad you read the 75th Anniversary collection, because that has three of my very favorites: the original Harvey Kent trilogy from 1942-43, the Grace Dent story from Secret Origins Special (1989), and "Eye of the Beholder" from Batman Annual #14 (1990).

Besides those, and the ones you've listed, here are a few others to check out. Some are great, some are mixed bags, and some are downright lousy.

First and foremost, I STRONGLY recommend the 1989 Batman newspaper comic strip, which I loved so much that I posted the whole two-year saga on its own tumblr account. You can start from the very beginning right here, but keep in mind that Harvey's storyline--which runs all the way to the very last strip--doesn't really start until the second arc.

Next, Batman: Dual to the Death by Geary Gravel is a YA novelization of the BTAS origin, seamlessly combined with the two-part Batgirl origin episodes. It improves on both the animated versions in small but crucial ways, and it's highly recommended for BTAS fans. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to find.

On a similar note, Peter David's movie novelization of Batman Forever can be found more easily, either in used book form or on the Internet Archive, and it's absolutely worth reading. I love the movie of Batman Forever, but it's objectively a terrible take on Harvey. The novelization adds SO MUCH, including an original prequel scene with D.A. Harvey Dent, and his ending is far more satisfying.

Cartoon Network's CGI animated series Beware the Batman (2013) also features a series-long origin arc for Harvey Dent, but it's one of the worst takes I've ever seen on the character. He's a petty, selfish, ambitious little prick, an absolute scumbag, completely devoid of depth or tragedy. Thankfully, few have seen this arc, since the majority of Harvey's episodes were never aired after the series was cancelled, but they're all available to watch for those morbidly curious to see just how badly someone can screw up Harvey as a character.

"The Big Burn" from Batman and Robin, vol 2 #24-28 (2014), also collected in B&R volume 5. After the huge DC reboot, this was Harvey new origin, which tried some very different things with him. A VERY mixed bag, but one that ended in a hugely exciting way that makes the whole thing worth reading. Follow it up with its sequel, "Ugly Heart," from Detective Comics #1020-1024, collected in Detective Comics Vol 5: Joker War.

Finally, watch the entirety of the recently-released/cancelled CW series Gotham Knights, with Misha Collins performing a surprisingly rich, interesting, and flawed Harvey Dent origin arc. The show got a lot of shit, some of it undeserved, but Collins' Harvey was an intriguing surprise, and I fear nothing we see from Harvey in any Reevesverse media will bring half as much care and interest to Harvey as GK did, for better or worse. All 13 episodes can be watched for free on CW Seed, region permitting.

EDIT: Oh right also the Telltale Batman video game! I haven't actually played that yet because I know enough about what happens and the illusion of meaningful choice indicative of Telltale games that I just don't feel like putting myself through that. People seem to like it a lot, though! I just... don't put me in a position of choosing to save either Harvey or Selina if you're just going to cheat and have him go evil anyway.

Idk if its just me but I love the idea of the riddlers having a pet dog that is there best friend and one weakness sorta like Holt and cheddar from Brooklyn 99 but what do you think how would the riddlers be with a pet dog?

Hello yes as a frequent watcher of Brooklyn 99 this is the best ask ever like omg yes

Also don’t worry anon you’re ask didn’t get eaten by the rumble beast!

The riddlers with dogs

Arkham

He’s not sure where the mutt chihuahua mix came from but Einstein just kinda showed up one day

He was originally trying to get rid of the stray, he had work to do!

But then the sweet pup starts waiting for him outside of one of his puzzles clearly waiting for him

Clearly the poor thing understands that Edward is his superior and wishes to be taken under his wing!

He taught him basic tricks to start off with but then Einstein started bringing him bottled water

Edward frequently scratches the pooch’s head while he’s at his computer

They have a working relationship of Mr nigma providing food and Einstein agreeing with his genius plans

“And then the death trap will be promptly followed by another ingenious riddle!” “BARK!” “exactly! See you get it!”

Btas

Such a dog dad

Francine is probably the most spoiled poodle in the entirety of Gotham

He had her back during his game dev days and even then she was taken care of like a princess

She’s absolutely a daddies girl

But don’t think she’s all pretty hair and looks!

She’s a quick learner for sure

Jonathan and jervis are in charge of her when he’s been placed back into Arkham

“Now Francine daddy might get into some trouble but uncle Jervis will be by around 7 to make sure your well fed”

They take wonderful little walks in the park

BTAA

Normally he’s not one to have pets around but lupa is an exception

The corgi is just the right amount of energy for her dad but also keeps him on his toes

They have matching hats,uniformity matters after all!

Lupa has been a accomplice in 20 crimes at least

At least

And yes the name is Roman

He picked it out himself thank you!

She helps with his creative process believe it or not

Tuesday made an account to share photos of lupa,a good part of Gotham follows

“Miss Tuesday why is lupa in a beret?”

“What? She has like 1 million followers?”

Zero year

Man has a whole Shiba Inu that can be just as dramatic as he is

Helios is constantly giving him sass

Eddie called him a bitch once and woke up to half the house destroyed

Edward was not amused and spent a whole hour lecturing him with said dog just not giving crap about it

He has to give the pooch one thing,he’s not dumb

Their relationship boils down to two different species roommates except one is an evil genius and one is a dog trying to get attention from the evil genius

Omg I need the different riddlers reacting to the reader calling him a nerd but then kissing him and calling him thier nerd 🥰🥰🥰

sure anon!

arkham!riddler:

origins!riddler probably splutters ("nerd?!!") but he knows it's true so he just flushes when you give him a kiss <3

asylum/city!riddler is a mix of origins and knight!riddler in that he likes you showing affection to him but man, he's not a nerd, he's just brilliant, and shouldn't you know this by now?

knight!riddler takes it up a notch or 17. "i'm not a nerd, i'm a genius, y/n." please shut him up by kissing him

gotham!riddler: is actually pretty touched by this. he'll probably object to the rather indelicate "nerd" being used but he likes it all the same. ("i'm your nerd, and you're mine.")

btas!riddler: blushes like a moron. seriously, he just capitulates and goes, "yeah, i guess you're right." he's yours, alright. that's for sure

i hope you liked this, anon! have a good day bestie <3

His kid brought home a friend. While saying hi kid goes. "Oh, I know you. You once kidnapped my dad :D." and they said it with such innocence.

Riddler BTAS, ZY,Arkham

A/N: Well, this will be fun…I tried to mix it up so BTAS has a son, ZY is gn and Arkham has a daughter…don’t ask why that’s just sorta where the dice landed rip. Also I broke canon and gave Aaron Cash from the Arkham games a daughter too, even if it’s canon he has one son, so there’s that tidbit too lmao

Riddlers Reacting to Being Recognized by a Victim’s Kid

Batman The Animated Series Riddler:

Edward knew Gotham City was a close-knit city, but he thought the odds of his child running into a child of a fellow victim to his riddle games…were slim. Extremely slim.

He never imagined the day would come when his years at Competitron would come back to haunt him. Even though he’d sought his revenge on Mockridge, knowing that he left the man a trembling anxious mess even if he did get away.

Yet, he never knew Mockridge had a child…or that he’d meet his son.

“Hey, Dad! I’m home and I brought a friend home from school!” Eddie’s son, Junior (I have no doubt in my mind if Ed had a son he would name it after him, prove me wrong) called out as he arrived home fresh off the school bus.

He tugged along another little boy with him, about the same height but with dark black hair and a familiar pair of light brown eyes.

Edward was on the couch, before he got up to meet the boys at the door. He got down on one knee to be the same height as them. He ruffled the top of his son’s red mop of hair and then turned to Gunnar.

“Nice to meet you, Gunnar. I’m Edward.” He held out his hand.

Ed expected the returned handshake but not the response.

“Oh, yeah. I know you. My dad fired you and you kidnapped him for it, until Batman saved him.” Gunnar stated plainly like he was answering how the weather was like that day.

Edward’s heart dropped from his chest cavity and sunk to the bottom of his gut. This was the last thing he was expecting.

“Er, um…well t-that…was a awhile ago..” Edward awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Although, call him curious. “Um…h-how is your father nowadays?”

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler:

First off, props to the birth giver of the child cause like wow. Second, how did you manage to tell him? And have him actually stick around? Like be a part of this kid’s life and not convince you to just terminate it or chuck your kid into an orphanage? Let’s be honest, I don’t think Zero Year Riddler exactly wants kids? Sure he’ll like the idea of creating a mini-him to perhaps continue his legacy but also can barely take care of himself let alone a child? He can’t bring himself to give a shit about anyone but himself??

Sorry, sorry, overthinking got the better of me…ANYWAY

“Hey, Dad! This is my friend, Charlie from school! We’re working on a project for science class.”

Ed grumbled. He remembered such assignments, why must group work be so strongly pushed even this day in age. Probably something about socializing and collaborating.

Edward was doing the newspaper crossword in his recliner in the corner. It faced the door and he was able to glance up at the two kids and gave a small wave.

“Hey Mr. Nyg-oh wait I know you!”

Well, that’s terrifying.

That statement made him jump a little from his chair.

“Uhh..” He got up and walked over to the two children in his home. “Y-You do?”

“Yeah…you held my dad hostage when you took over Wayne Tower…” Charlie stated in such a matter-of-fact tone.

Edward’s eyes started shifting from left to right…shit he didn’t kill him did he? He can’t remember all those corporate nobodies looked the same to him.

“Uhh…yeah, uhh small world Gotham is…h-how is he?” Edward bit his lower lip.

Ed’s kid groaned. “Ughh..Dad!”

“He’s all right. I mean Joker threated to bomb the tower last week, my dad was able to get paid time off for that. And he’s still seeing his therapist.”

Edward shrugged. “Well, sounds like all’s well that end’s well…”

Ed’s child’s response was just more groaning and face palming. That’ll teach them to bring a friend home from school again.

Arkhamverse Riddler:

Edward was clinking, clanking, and clunking away on another project in his garage. He had the doors open, so he wasn’t working on anything…outright conspicuous that would cause alarm. Plus, his pride and joy was coming home from school.

“Hi, Daddy!” A small little girl, with bright green eyes, started running up the driveway.

Edward lifted the goggles up from his eyes, with a soft smile he waved at the girl. He put down his tools and got up from his seat.

The little girl ran up to Ed and clung to his leg. Edward laughed and picked her up and held her in his arms.

“Hey! Wait for me!” Shouted another little girl.

“Oh, Daddy! That’s my friend, Molly! Mom said she could come over so we can play.”

Ed had to refrain from rolling his eyes. Figures they would make plans without telling him (they did fully did tell him, he just wasn’t listening at the time…like every other time when he was in his mind palace)

Edward was about to greet the child until she said something to make his blood run cold.

“Hey! Ain’t you the Riddler? You put my dad in one of your traps! If he didn’t stop moving his head would’ve exploded!” Molly exclaimed.

Edward chuckled nervously, “uhh…sweetie…what’s your friend’s last name?” He whispered in his daughter’s ear.

“Cash…why?”

Shit.

“I, uh, um…well…”

“It’s okay, Molly!” Ed’s daughter hopped out of her dad’s arms. “He doesn’t do that kinda stuff anymore,” she turned her head to him over her shoulder. “Right, Daddy?”

Ed started nodding vigorously. “Y-Yes, she’s right…” well, to an extent anyway.

“Hmm…okay!” Molly perked up and the two girls ran inside to play.

Edward took the biggest sigh of relief. He wiped away the fresh droplets of sweat more from his nerves than any heat. He was going to have to look more into his daughter’s school, classmates, faculty, family, and everything.

That was way too humiliating to repeat again.

Top 5 comic book adaptions? (can be animated, live action, etc).

In no particular order

1. The Batman (2022). This movie perfectly captures the atmosphere of Gotham and also manages to not compromise on Batman's moral compass. Still wild how long it took for us to get a Batman with an actual no kill rule in a live action movie.

2. Smallville. Is it cheesy? Absolutely. Does it get some stuff wrong? Totally. But it tells Clark's story in such a fun way even with it being so damn soapy. Also I love Smallville Clois, sue me!

3. The entirety of the DCAU (ITS TECHNICALLY ONE THING!! IT COUNTS!!!). hit after hit after hit. From BTAS to JLU to Batman Beyond there is not a single bad show in the mix.

4. My Adventures With Superman. A new favorite of mine, I just adore the way it explores the DC universe! It all feels very lived in but new and fresh! I feel like it's finally making people appreciate Superman and how modern he can be.

5. Ok I'm cheating cause I can't pick between the two, Doom Patrol and The Lego Batman movie. Doom Patrol and the Lego Batman movie both deal with the goofier parts of the DC universe, albeit in very different ways, so fucking well!! Both don't take themselves too seriously but still manage to have great emotional depth.

This was so much harder than I thought it was gonna be.

Mini headcanon:

I know in the game is never specified for how long exactly Jason endured Joker's torture and how he died exactly. All we know is told through the scar on his face and a few texts/records left by Bruce about him.

So I like to headcanon that my version of Jason endured nearly a whole year of torture before Joker got tired of his stubborn self and blew him up. (I know the game doesn't specify, but I like to think he was left in an abandoned Arkham Wing that Joker blew up).

In my head these are some of the tortures Jason endured:

Jason was kept in confined spaces, small crates, small cages and pretty much anywhere his small body would fit, because he was strong, but even when compared to Dick's Robin days, he was smaller.

During the first weeks Joker was specially found of depriving Jason of his senses, thus confusing him of where he was and how long he'd been away from Bruce/Batman.

Jason has no idea of when exactly he ended at Arkham, but that gave him some sort of hope at first. Hope that Joker killed little by little as the days and weeks went by, it was all a plot from the Clown, because at this point Jason had become numb and didn't respond as much as Joker liked.

Constant waterboarding

Hardly ever allowed to sleep.

Only enough food and water to keep Jason barely alive, and most of the time force fed down his throat.

Joker broke one or both of Jason's ankles multiple times.

Pretty much every major area of Jason's body has some scar from the torture he endured, there's marks of beating on both sides of his ribs, his forearms, back, ankles, knees, shoulders, even on his hip. He's been through hell and his body shows it.

At some point, Joker burned even the back of Jason's throat, leaving him almost uncapable of speech, eat or drink.

When Jason became numb for the second time, Joker started to burn parts of him, but as Batman still didn't find them, came to the conclusion that Jason wasn't as important and so, he decided to get rid of him.

Joker didn't just blow Jason up. He shot him and blew the place. The only problem was that Jason didn't die from the shot, he was still alive as the ticking clock hit zero and the bombs went off.

Jason was still alive as the building came down, but he was unable to move, so he died by smoke inhalation, then the fire made work of his body.

Note: that I understand and acknowledge that this is extremely canon divergent with the Gotham Knights game and far closer to Arkham Knight's Jason lore. However, I don't think that Jason would break as bad as is implied he did if he was tortured by Joker for only a couple of days to a week (even Tim suffered for longer in the Clown's hands in BTAS).

And yes, I also acknowledge that a big part of the reason for him to be angry has to do with his death alone, but I prefer to think it was a mix of various compiled factors that resulted in that, and among it all, there's the amount of torture he endured.

Batfam AU: So, I once read a fic with a very different take on Hosu, where the LOV set up gas bombs that were a mix of trigger and a scarecrow-esque fear toxin. Has something like that ever happened in this Gotham?

This is based on BTAS Joker, and that's not quite his style

Next chunk of the pre-NML stuff, to the end of 1996.

Batman versus Predator II: Bloodmatch

Yes this is in mainline continuity. Just thought you should know.

Honestly not the worst Helena feature I've read.

Troika (Robin #14 and Tec #682-683)

I hate Bullock. I know this is an attempt to give Renee connections but I simply do not care and I hope he stays in a coma so I don't have to see him.

This does make me like KGBeast more. He's not a good character but he's so over-the-top it's fun.

Homecoming (Showcase '95 #3)

Vic's back!

This is a solid showcase for him. Not the most revealing story or anything, but he's in good form and gets to reminisce. A good change of pace from the Bat-event-overload.

Guy Gardner: Warrior #29

Apparently appearing in Showcase made people remember him enough to have him cameo. That or it's because a couple other Charlton guys are here.

Renee gets a new partner who I hate way less, which lasts all of two issues, and a boyfriend, who lasts a little longer.

Azrael #10

Vic and Shiva bump into each other at a karate tournament in Gotham. Neither of them do anything about the guy in the Azbat costume, they're just chilling.

Contagion

The first event I'm recording in full, since Renee's in more than half the issues anyways and it's part of the NML buildup.

Her boyfriend dies. RIP. Made it a whole eight months.

I'm mixed on Contagion. It's got a lot of strong moments, this is a good era for grim and moody Batman, but there's more Gotham-in-crisis to come that I like more. Hard not to compare it to the rest of NML, yknow?

Deadbolt (Tec 697-699)

Lock-Up is another transfer from BTAS. I have a lot of thoughts on how he gets used compared to how the cops are treated, but I've been ignoring that part of my brain so I can get this project done, so it's whatever. I am being normal. Tim is funny.

Batman: GCPD

Oh boy. I had my hopes up for a moment that Bullock would finally fuck off for a while and I'd get to stop looking at him but nope, it's just even heavier on the police brutality apologism than usual. Fuck this so much.

Chuck Dixon is an enormous piece of shit, what a surprise.

Legacy

Contagion but again and with Ra's Al Ghul. Not recording this one in full.

“As for me, well, there's a real panic on. Somebody has threatened to poison the Gotham reservoir. Calls himself the Joker. I've got a friend coming who might be able to help.

He should be here any minute”.

As November draws to a close, I decided to recreate and extend and mix up the ending page of Batman Year One.

I inspired this extended scene from Batman Begins but also from various pieces also mixing the two parts of the Joker’s origin together starting him off as a comedian (The Killing Joke) then into an enforcer for both the Grissom and Valestra mobs (BTAS & Batman 1989) then (shortly before Bruce’s return) killed the leader of the Red Hood Gang and took his identity and then (mixing In pieces from DC #27, Batman 1989, Zero Year, and The Killing Joke was found out by the GCPD (still under Loeb’s control) By Batman, Jim, Major Crimes, and the late Philip Kane (shot point blank by Joker/Jack Napier) finally falling into the vat of chemicals at Ace becoming the Clown Prince of Crime.

⬇️Story Down here⬇️

December 3

OLD GOTHAM

GCPD MAJOR CRIMES BUILDING

Gordon took a smoke from his pipe from his daughter on his birthday looking out at the Gotham skyline as snow fell across the city waiting for his friend wondering where he was. He then heard a tap on the Bat Signal and turned around to see Batman by it.

Batman: Nice

Jim walked around the signal to Batman flipping the switch turning off the signal.

James Gordon: I couldn't find any mob bosses. Hadn't heard a peep from Falcone ever since the attack on the rooftop of his apartment weeks ago.

Batman: Well, lieutenant?

James: Oh, it's captain now. You really started something. Sure affected me.

Affected all of us. Crooked cops running scared. Hope on the streets.

Batman: But?

Jim looks down for a bit.

James: Amusement Mile and the Industrial District is in tatters Ace Chemicals is being rebuilt. And we still haven't picked up Grissom or whatever remains of the Red Hood Gang that escaped Ace along with Bob Hawkins.

Batman: What about Napier?

James: We combed the rest of Ace.

We couldn't find his body. He's either dead by drowning, burned, or washed away somewhere.

Batman: This wasn't the only reason why you called me here. Was it?

Jim opens his jacket pulling out an evidence bag then hands it over to Batman then he grabbed it.

James: Armed robbery, double homicide, some of the victims with smiles on their faces, has a taste for the theatrical like you.

Jim hands Batman the document folder.

James: He's planning an attack on the Gotham Reservoir. He also leaves a calling card.

Batman pulls out of the evidence bag a white card with a clown face on it labeled "Joker".

Batman: I'll look into this.

Batman hands back the document and puts the card back in the bag attaching it to his utility belt.

Batman: Criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot. The only way to beat them is to give them something to be scared of. We'll fix this Jim.

Batman and Jim shake hands.

Batman: We can bring Gotham back.

Batman walks to the edge of the roof ready to leave.

James: I never said, "thank you".

Saving this city from the Hood, saving me, saving my wife and son.

Batman turns his head to face Jim.

Batman: And you'll never have to.

Batman jumps off the roof then fires his Mark II Grapnel gliding off.

Jim watches smiling.

James: Thank you.

•

The Adventure has just begun.

after the riddlers with dogs ask, i gotta know..what about cats?

"Riddlers with Cats" Riddler Party Ask

Sorry this took a second I am BUSY this month. Life kicks fucking hard but we gotta kick harder right? Time for some CATS.

TW: mentions of animal abuse

Gotham

Cornish rex mix, baby! HUGE yellow eyes and big old ears. Kind of freaky looking but Edward is in love from the moment he lays eyes on the creature. She is his baby now. She has a soft thin layer of fur that's typical for the breed and he swears it feels like lambs wool. Then he finds out she's a bonded pair with her litter brother...

Gidget and Gadget are their names and causing chaos to Edward's life is their game. Gadget, the male, isn't nearly as strange looking as his sister but still has huge ears and patchier fur. He tends to be the more shy, neurotic one but Gidget wants to get into everything and see everything. She scared the bejeesus out of Oswald when he first came over post-adoption because she practically jumped onto his shoulders from the dark.

Gidget is a shoulder kitty. She especially loves Edward's shoulders because he's so tall. She can see everything up here! If he's too focused on work and she's up there, she'll rub her fact all over his cheek to remind him he needs to pet her. Gadget is "I'll lay next to you and you can pet me but if it's too much then I'll leave" kind of cuddler. Wants to be right up next to your leg but not in your lap.

So much kitty fashion, especially once Gotham winter sets in. It just gets that touch too cold for their thinner coats and it just happens to be a bonus that he can dress them up. That plus a special cat cave he bought for them with a safe heated blanket and they are set. He loves looking over at them and seeing them all bundled up and sleepy with one another.

BTAS

Similar to the dog scenario, he went to the shelter to get a companion after trying to go straight. He felt... a strange disappointment looking at all the really young kittens jumping around. Too much energy for him at this stage- And a touch too high maintenance. He searches until he finds a long timer, returned at least twice because the cat's been through it. Some kind of Maine Coon mix missing an eye, multiple scars and a botched ear tip from when he was thought to be feral.

He names the cat Hannibal after the famous Carthaginian general because of his old battle scars. Hannibal is cat aggressive, dog aggressive and only marginally tolerates people. He also hides under the bed for the first week he's at Edward's place. In truth, he's not that old, just been in rougher areas of Gotham where people are mean and it's survival of the fittest for strays.

In truth, this is fine with him. He knows what it's like to be wary of others and being a bit beaten up. So he bides his time. Feeds Hannibal on the floor at the edge of the bed. Slowly moves in for pets until Hannibal closes his eyes and accepts it. One night he's late coming home due to nefarious plotting and Hannibal is at the door, softly meowing at him as if to scold and trying to grab his arm for pets.

Edward ends up building one of those complex platform systems around his home for enrichment for Hannibal. Hannibal immediately starts using it so he can try to grab at Edward when he passes and has even managed to knock his hat off a couple times, the fiend.

Sometimes Edward has nightmares that he's being smothered to death. Then he wakes up and it's Hannibal bread-loafing dead asleep on top of his chest.

60s

Siamese mix that he got from Catwoman. At first he was just going to look after it for her while after she was arrested but when she got out she saw how insanely attached the cat was. So she got to stay with Edward. Her name is Lola and she's in love with the quirky man. The song from Damn Yankees comes to mind for him. She was nice to Selina, a darling cat, but Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets and she wants Edward. That is her person.

It's a good thing Edward has no intention of getting another animal because she is fiercely jealous. Yells at him in this loud high pitched tone when she's not getting enough attention. Then almost burrows into his hand like he can't pet her hard enough. Loves sleeping on his written plans and blueprints, to his chagrin.

She WAS an indoor/outdoor cat until she came home with an injury from another animal and he realized the world outside was a little too rough for his darling Lola. She is more than fine with this because it means more Dad time. And more bed and couch time. She gives wicked side eye to any goon that tries to get her to move from a good spot.

When she sees him after a while of being apart her tail violently shakes and quivers which he was worried was a health concern. Nope. Just means she's VERY happy to see him.

If he really gets into a giggle fit she'll start yowling to join him. It's actually very cute, she just wants to be included 10/10. Unfortunately sometimes this just makes him laugh even harder until he's about to pass out.

Zero Year

He has a slutty, slutty ragdoll he got from a breeder because A) He wanted a fancy breed and B) this man is in such desperate need of affection and validation that when she flopped into his lap and arms, she also flopped directly into his cardiac muscles. He names her Helen after Helen of Troy given her beauty. She has a special formulated diet he gets from bougie pet stores, way too expensive.

Bless her heart, she's so stupid. Once pressed her forehead to the window after he cleaned it and he got worried something was wrong. She was just trying to go through the window. Once he ran to the bathroom because she was screaming and he found she had climbed onto the shower railing and couldn't get herself back down. Shoves her head under the sink sideways but doesn't understand why the water is streaming away off her face and not in her mouth.

Helen loves to interrupt his evil villain monologueing via stream by showing up in front of the screen and flopping over his arm with a head empty look on her face. It's really difficult to be intimidating and showing off when you just have a baby going =A= and begging for pets. He's tried shutting her out of the room but then she just cries loudly at the door until he lets her back in.

He loves to have her in his lap and he just buries his face into her tummy. It's like the softest pillow you've ever felt in your life. She has the deepest loudest purr when he does this which just spurs him on to continue being a dork about it.

Zero sense of stranger danger. Batman could walk in at any point and she'd walk over to flop at his feet for pets. Edward hates this.

Arkham

It's... a tabby. That's not actually a breed, mind you, it's the fur coloring but he's got no idea what it's pedigree is so it's a tabby. It was too weak, too scrawny when he first found it. The fact it came up to him showed how desperate it was for care which he begrudgingly gave. Then it purred and caught a rat that had been plaguing his workshop. Fine. You can stay.

And so let him be known as Orion, the great hunter in the stars! Eh, clever, right? Orion makes himself at home and comes to adore Edward- no one else. Anyone comes by and he's either hissing or growling. Edward jokes that it's not just the rat pests he keeps away. He builds a cat tree and platforms as a sort of reward for his friend.

Sometimes his lab is filled with loud cursing because Orion decided everything on the table needed to go. He stretches and suddenly there's a flurry of wrenches falling to the floor. It's absolutely the thing Edward dislikes most about the cat. Though, really, he should be happy Orion hasn't decided to try and eat some of those yummy small screws he keeps lying around with no care.

When it's just the two of them and he can see the stars through a window or a computer camera, he'll pull Orion into his lap and quietly tell him that's where he's from. It's a silly little thing, but almost everyone does silly things when they're alone with their animals. Orion purrs feeling Edward's gloves over his body. Loves the soft pressure.

When he falls asleep at the table, Orion licks his face until he wakes up. No one can figure out if Orion is just checking to see if he can eat Edward or he's genuinely concerned for his owner sleeping in a weird place. Edward votes on the first scenario.

Telltale

Selina insisted that he needed some kind of companionship after everything that happened to him. While he scoffs this off, he accepts the tiny wriggling little creature she brings to him. She says it's a stray she found. No idea what breed but it's a tortoiseshell coloring. Yes, she did this intentionally if you know anything about torties.

Selina also informed him she already came with a name unless he wanted to change it. He left it alone. Delilah it is. Sweet, quirky Delilah. Even from a young age, she lets the old man know she's a little bit sassy and not afraid of him despite their great size difference. Very vocal when he's doing things she doesn't like such as using the vacuum cleaner.

He likes booping her nose to irritate her, just a little. Antagonize her to puffing up and nibbling on his skin. She doesn't bite although he knows she could easily tear him open and has on occasion with her claws. Usually an accident but sometimes she's overtaken by the spice in her soul.

She likes jumping onto the bed when he tries to make it and simply rolls over onto her back when he tries to scold her. Never touch her stomach, it is in fact a trap. She knows this, Edward knows this after once or twice of falling for it. He pretends that never happened.

She dislikes being picked up but will allow him to move her when she's somewhere she's not supposed to be. For the most part she stays off of tables and furniture since he doesn't like animals up on there, but she will not allow him to kick her off the bed. This is her bed, his room is her room, any argument on that end will result in a lot of annoyed meowing and batting.

2022 Riddler

He got a little black cat he found on the street after saving it from assholes in an alleyway. They were hurting him- her? him. Edward rushed it to a local emergency vet and waited for hours with the little guy. A large portion of the tail had to be removed and the vet asked Edward if he'd rather put the cat down- Which Edward vehemently denied. Sure he didn't have a lot of funds but...

So he's got a cat with a nub for a tail. One of the nurses calls the cat a sweet little Biscuit and that's what Edward ends up calling him. Originally he was going to name the cat Ramanujan after Srinivasa Ramanujan the mathematician but then he'd have to constantly explain to the idiots around him about conjectures and the significance of his equations. Biscuit is fine.

Biscuit is an expert at making biscuits, mostly kneading into Edward's face late at night when he's trying to sleep. Or his chest. Surprisingly it helps to ease his restless mind to something of peace. He'll actually get a few hours when the cat purrs and massages him to rest.

Biscuit is pretty quiet other than the purring. He almost never meows, something Edward suspects is a result from having to hide so often. He knows the feeling. He was worried Biscuit would potentially hunt or try to hurt his rats but the cat just likes to lay next to the cage and purr. A strange reaction of a creature that used to have to hunt them for survival.

Biscuit just wants to be loved and love other living things. Edward almost envies how forgiving and peaceful the cat is. If only he could curtail his own rage the same way.
