I'd think the big villains would be against it too. Yuse think Joker wants to see his thugs in the same union with da Penguin's thugs?

Oh, poo poo, the upcoming 'Black Ice" supervillain war they've been hyping up on the street like it was PPV! I forgot that was coming up so soon! I've got to put in for my PTO, because I'm not going to want to be anywhere near that thing.

I don't care who wins, to be honest. It's Freeze and Black Manta. Who cares?

I have a theory fellas, bear wit' me...

Okay, when this all started, how many Batses was runnin' around this town?

One. One Batman. Okay, you wit me so far? Then we got a Robin and a Batgirl and another Robin, and another Robin, and so on and so on...

So, I was doing a gig with the Clock King for a while, bein' his 'second hand man', and long story short, we travelled into the future! That's right, 40 years into the future! You know what we saw? Over a dozen different Batmen guys and gals in the future that we had to fight, plus the regular Bats from this time that followed us!

So, this got me to thinking. Batman ruined this town! He screwed up so badly that the future needs over a dozen Batmen to handle the rampant crime because he messed up the present day so badly! As we're being arrested and sent back to the present day, the Bats acts all happy and poo poo about how there are still crime fighters protecting the city and keeping the legacy of Batman alive and I'm looking at them all dumbfounded and going, "You made the mess that made them into Batmen! How is this a happy future for anyone!?"

Oh, and it turns out one of my bastard grandkids is going to grow up to be a some sort of Robin or something to redeem our family name, so when I get out of jail I'm going to have a good, long talk to my kids about condoms and safe sex to keep that from happening.

Of course, the only place in network is Arkham...

I dunno, Warren came out of it nuts and with hosed up skin and no nose, but he also got brilliant with his madness like Crane and Nigma did and he ran crime for a bit across all Gotham, and he's still got a nice chunk of the pie, and since he STARTED out sane you can at least expect him to not kill you because you found the wrong pun funny or didn't answer a question or showed up with something that wasn't properly matching in 2's.

Yeah yeah, I bet you could say Joker and Riddler and Two-Face all STARTED out sane, but trust me, no one knew 'em before they were insane. But White? The "Great White Shark"? His poo poo was Mandoff years before Mandoff. EVERYONE knew who he was, they knew he was sane, and trust me, a LOT of people were PISSED that he ratfucked the system so hard that got 'let off' with an 'insanity plea'...because they don't live in Gotham, which is where Warren had to go to get that to work, and they didn't understand just how hosed White really was for what he'd done to get 'let off.'

...you know, the fact that the place where supposedly they're supposed to treat supervillains ended up turning the average corrupt business rear end in a top hat INTO a supervillain should really get considered more...man this clown gas is weird for me, I just get chatty instead of laughy...

I blame Metropolis.

You look across the river and you see that shining city with their superman and their tall new buildings and their well lit streets? You know what else they have?

The death penalty.

Gotham ain't executed a single criminal in years, but Metropolis does. Why do you think all the 'crazies' come to Gotham?! They know they got a revolving door on crime! Metropolis will not only execute you, but it's a known fact that they botch those executions to make the perp suffer more.

And they look down on us in Gotham...

Batman don’t kill no one, he just likes punchin’.

He catches ya, it’s just PUNCH PUNCH, WHERE IS SHE??

We’s finds its best to put up a lil fight for em so’s he feels like he’s doin’ good and whatnot. Let em work ya over like. “Oh ya got me Batman!! I’m done for!”

Then he leaves ya tied up and maybe hanging from a rope and makes a dramatic exit. We just keep some guys with a cherry picker truck on call most nights ta come get our guys down.

most of our workers comp claims came from fall damage so we gives our goons a climbing harness as a parta the uniform, we just clip em to the safety line and get em right down.

Ya know, it's nice gooning for the Penguin. Yeah there's all the raw fish everywhere, but you know what? He's professional, he doesn't let the supervillain thing go to his head TOO much.

Now my grandpa? He used to tell me stories about gooning back in the 40s. Used to do odd-man work for Dr. Sivana. You know, the guy who looked like the scientist from Futurama? Just an absolute shitshow. He'd be soldering together parts for some weather control machine or whatever the old bastard designed and he would be shaking his fist at him and calling him a "blundering nincompoop" and poo poo all the time, and his snot-nosed kids would be hanging around the workshop chucking bolts at the back of his head and giggling cuz they knew their dad would vaporize him if he gave the little bastards a smack.

And it wasn't even for heists or "hold the world hostage" cons or whatever, he just liked designing doomsday devices for kicks. One time Captain Marvel was busy in space or some poo poo and gramps was "finally, we can rob a bank or something with all these disintegrator rays and junk," and you know what Dr Sivana did? First thing after he heard his nemesis was out of town? He just went and pulled out a regular-rear end gun he had lying around and ran out to shoot a cop. Just for fun, just to get his rocks off because nobody was gonna stop him. Think that was when gramps said "gently caress this" and went off and joined the Navy. They appreciated someone who knew his way around vacuum tubes.

And that's not the worst of it. He told me about a buddy of his who went off and joined up with Mister Mind. It was all fun and games, earthquake machines and diamond robberies, that sort of thing. Then it got weird and all full of old-timey Nazi stuff, real German-American Bund style poo poo. Made all his henchmen read the hate-propaganda memoir he wrote, "Mind Kampf." Yeah, really. He showed me the old newspaper clipping of when they finally threw the book at the little sicko for his actual no-poo poo crimes against humanity. Never saw something both as funny and messed up as that photo of a two-inch-tall caterpillar sitting in a full human-sized electric chair. They put his taxidermed body on display in the Smithsonian for a few years afterward. hosed up, right?

So yeah, working for the Penguin ain't all bad. Yes the penguin theme is stupid. But at least he's just in it for the money and the supervillain lifestyle, there's no demented spoiled little kid bully poo poo, there's no Hitler stuff. You knock over a credit union once in a while to keep the thugs in practice, you do racketeering, maybe keep the upper crust topped off on party drugs, you get your cut and you go home and shower off the fish stink. It's downright normal

Guys, I've been doin some work for King Tut lately, and um... did I join a cult? Like he makes us all wear loincloths and fan him with palm fronds and call him "Master" while he wears robes and crowns and stuff, and all his big crime plans involve mind control serums and poo poo? He keeps rubbing his hands together and, like, licking his lips a lot when he talks about it? Like he gets really sweaty about the prospect of it.

I'm kinda uncomfortable with this, like I get that the Joker might do mass murder once in a while, but I keep worrying that I'm gonna get roped into a pharaoh orgy with this gross gently caress
