once you get used to the boss leaving audiologs all over the place this job ain't so bad. weird thing is that I hear all of them leave audiologs all over the place. for what purpose? I can only figure it's a sex thing and batman gets off on listening to how zsazz describe how he posed a corpse while swinging around the city. like he can only cum if he's going 90 in the batmobile and penguin's podcast about the history and business of commercial fishing is playing on the stereo. meanwhile zsazz and penguin and the rest of them they get off on knowing that the bat's listening to them ramble on about how their alphabet soup spelled out "kill mom" or how many live chickens they can fit in their mouth or how expensive it is to run a themed crime operation

Everyone hates Wayne, and for good reason, but you know which rich gently caress I hate the most? Lex Fuckin Luthor.

When the Bat went with all the other fruitcakes to set up their little boyscout club in the sky it should have been a golden fuckin age for Henchmen. Chances are the Bat and everyone else were gonna be too busy to care about anything but some of the Boss's more deadly ideas. Imagine robbing a bank or moving stolen goods at night and knowing you'll get away with it every time. The GCPD couldn't stop a fuckin stray dog those days without calling in caped help. And hell, I even wished the Bat luck fighting off the commie aliens or ro-bots or whatever. I ain't want to be invaded by no commie aliens and ro-bots.

Then Lex Fuckin' Luthor decides he's gonna create his own private little club and invites all the best paying villains to join. the catch, of course being... No Henchmen. None.

Three-fourths of Gotham's hardworking thug population out on their rear end overnight. Penguin and Twoface hired a few more on their crew but they were picky as hell. I barely got a shot to be in Penguin's crew and got the boot a day later when I gagged a little watching him eat a live fish raw. The Mafia was doing fine, but if I had the connections to join them I wouldn't be working for the Joker, now would I?

A couple of our guys tried contacting Luthor and pitching the idea of hiring us on to do whatever. We were desperate, we'd have been willing to do anything to stay in the game. You know what Luthor did? You know what that mother FUCKER did?

He called the goddamn feds on us. Acted like he was some sorta proper citizen being blackmailed by our gang. What kind of fuckin villain does that? So yeah, gently caress that narc Luthor, never gave a poo poo about the little guy.

You've got an Etsy shop too? Mine's doing great business. What I do is find a good reason to be elsewhere when the Bat is most likely to strike the gang -- you know, like when it's time to pick up the shipment at the docks -- then come back after he's hit the gang and grab all the stuff I can. I just sold a belt made out of Batrope with a Batarang as a belt buckle for $1900! People ask about the authenticity but there are certain ways to prove it's the real thing. (I'm not giving away all my secrets here, though.)

Only problem is I'm running out of good reasons to be absent and I think I'm about to get whacked as a stool pigeon

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
The reason I'm working for a 'rogues gallery' sort is because it's better than being your average criminal on the streets.

Check this out: My friend, he was boosting parked cars in a lot at night, stealing convertors, batteries, all sorts of stuff like that. The cops catch him on a CURFEW VIOLATION and if he gets out of the ICU from all the bullets they put in him, he's going to be doing about 20 years in prison.

Me? I've been arrested like 20-30 times working Joker Crew, another 10 times working the Two-Face Crew, a few times on Catwoman Crew. I have a colorful (well, muted colors, at least) disguise and I'm treated like royalty. I've not done a stint more than 2-3 months in my entire career. You know what I was doing? Actual terrorism. I mean, poisoning water supplies, assisted in the robbery of the 2nd National Bank, kidnapped a steel heiress, etc.

Cops see someone in Batman Villain colors? They just turn their cars around and keep on driving because they're scared of the Gotham Costumed Crowd.

The only times I've ever seen the cops in Gotham do anything to someone in a costume is when someone thinks "The Bat's finally gone too far" and they'll finally put out the effort to take one of these loons in town down.

On that note, Batman can 'resist arrest' all he wants, that's fine. Buddy of mine took a bit too long to fish out his expired Driver's License? Oh, that's a resisting charge!

I gotta say, I don't think the boss really knows what he's doing with all this. I've moved up from the Ketchup Killers, through the Relish Raiders, and all the way up to Mustard Marine. Know what I noticed in all that time? A decided lack of proper villainy and master-planning.

Lot of other outfits, they're led by people of vision. People that keep to the theme, even when it's not the smartest play. Here, we're kind of just... whatever. And ever since I signed up for the company newsletter, I keep getting details about some MLM scheme.

I'm starting to think the Condiment King is more interested in finding ways to capitalize on his inadvertent LEGO Movie fame than in launching a proper return to super-crime.

Yeah, I put myself through Gotham U by working nights and taking out loans. Straight As in my math major, I took some psychology, learned French so that I could read Baudelaire, and minored in finance.

Then I graduate into the worst recession in fifty years. Can’t get so much as a job sweeping floors. I apply to Wayne Corp six times over two years. Every job was literally perfect for me. One was for a bilingual accountant for Petes sake. Never even got an interview.

So yeah, that’s why I’m henching. Pays back the student loans, but that ain’t the whole reason. I figure the first time I see the Bat, I’m gonna let him wail on me. Really mess me up, get sent to the hospital. I heard of like six guys who got put in the ICU by the Bat, and Bruce Wayne went to visit every single one o’ dem! So I tells him a little sob story, I drop my resume, and boom, I figure I got a better chance of getting hired by Wayne Corp this way than any other! I can’t lose!

Don't take it too personally, Wayne seems to like to run a pretty lean operation. Far as I can tell, that billionaire bastard only has two employees at his mansion! Some poor old butler who's probably been there since Wayne was a kid, and some teenage gymnast who must be like the pool boy? Biggest mansion in the dang city, and Wayne has got a single senior citizen vacuuming and cooking and dressing him and answering the door. And all the times we cased that joint, I never seen the pool boy actually clean the pool. He mostly just works out and does a bunch of flips on the trampoline. Guess that's how the rich get rich? Business 101: your biggest expense is always personnel costs. If Gotham's villians ever take a page out of Wayne's book, the next bank we rob is going to be the food bank...

Pretty sure the Waynes used to have all the proper staff and whatnot, and then they got shot and the kid goes off the grid til he's like 30 and comes back as Gotham's own Paris Hilton. I don't think anyone ever actually taught him how to run the place. Gotta be as bad as Rusty Venture, but at least they don't let him anywhere near the business.

I'm out boys. Been at this too long, and I think all the clown gas exposure finally did some permanent damage, because I started hallucinating last night.

I'm cracking a safe in a downtown skyscraper, right? Its pouring rain, so you know what that means: keep an eye out for rooftop brooding...

Sure enough, I spot the Bat perched on a gargoyle about two floors below me on the neighboring Gothic tower. I expect he'll be there glowering silently for a bit about whatever past trauma drives him. I am about to turn back to finish the job, but then there's flash of lightning and suddenly the job is the last thing on my mind.

Get this: He's not perched up there alone... He's got a tiny miniature version of himself floating right next to him!

So I actually rub my eyes like a hobo that saw something crazy in a cartoon, you know? Like if I had a little bottle of hooch I would have looked at it and looked back at what I was seeing, and then thrown it in the garbage, you know? I figure I must be dreaming, so I stop trying to hide and I get close to the window to get a good look at the little Bat guy.

Like a foot tall, kind of chubby. Smaller than a midget, a little bigger than cabbage patch kid...and flying, I'm saying. Well, hovering really.

His costume is really sloppy and ill-fitting, which is a detail that still really creeps me out for some reason. Ears on the bat cowl are way too big, and like floppy. Elf shoes, a beer gut, head also too big like he's got that elephant man disease? Just a living nightmare.

As the lightning flashes again I can see the little monster is grinning and laughing and having a good old time, and the Bat (the big Bat I'm saying) is like exasperated, I guess, from his body language.

Then the little Bat starts doing like magic tricks. But like miracles I'm saying. Conjurs up party hats for him and the real Bat, then the rain turns into jellybeans, then the big Bat's utility belt turns into a WWF championship belt, then the little freak touchs the gargoyle Bat was using to silently judge our dark city and it becomes a stuffed polka-dot unicorn.

That did it for me. I left the safe and all my tools and I went straight home to bed.

I'll miss you guys, but I have to walk away while I still have some of my faculties, you know? Please be careful when you're loading those gas tanks. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

And don't tell me it was just the Scarecrow. I haven't so much as sniffed that creep's musty barn farts in six months, but I remember what his hallucination spray smells like.
