Thread: The Gotham Connection (Applepoisoneer--MysteriousD)

Gotham City... a dark and dank city among the most crime-ridden over in United States. However, Gotham was also home to one of the greatest heroes of the 21st century, Batman. Batman and his Batfamily has been watching over the city and clearing out all the corruption and problems that plague it while also dealing with international problems, especially with Batman being a finding member of the Justice League along with Superman and other heroes. However, there were other heroes that while allied with the Bat, they were not members of the Batfamily and one of them just tossed a sharp card that cut the Joker. You're no class clown, Joker. No class and you don't make me laugh, so you fail at being a clown, a voice said from above. Cardshark. One of the more mortal heroes, Diego Vendrix was your normal intelligent dork until a bad bustrip to Gotham led to meet the Dark Knight and beign rescued. This inspired to improve himself. However, he did not possess any lfietime training, but he did possess an unusual sort of luck. It was this luck that led to him becoming a guinea pig to Ra's ah Ghul's experiments with the Pit to make 'supersoldiers'. Diego was a success, obtaining a good body and having his mind even better. Granted, he wasn't the level of the Batman or Green Arrow, but he could still keep up like those with the Question. Having used his luck well, he took a gambling theme and became Cardshark. When Joker picked up the card, it also shocked him, which set off his joybuzzer to shock him. Having made his way down, he looked to Harley Queen. I gotta say, you are quite nice-looking and I bet you're loads more fun than funzo here, he said before he dodged a fish smack from the Joker. Augh, I detest copycats. And you're not a good one either. Where's the gag? the Joker said befoe he tried to spray with his acid-spewing flowers. I ain't a gag and even then, I'm funnier than you are. I mean, knocking over a bank. You'd think the so-called Ace of Knaves could do better, he smirked under his mask. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edward Nygma, formerly Edward Nash was sitting in his apartment, feeling somewhat uninspired. Mr. Nygma is not the ordianry sort he was once none other than the infamous villain known as the Riddler. However, after a fight against the Detective of GOtham, Batman, he found himself wanting to fit back in society. He hated losing and in the hospital, found himself having no satisfication. With Batman having taking more of an interest in the Justice League, he saw the opportunity to solve cases and accomplish more than the Dark Knight could ever do. Furthermore, it was probably due to the evergrowing Batfamily. Last time he counted, there were now five Robins and around 3 Batgirls he saw among others, such as Batwoman. As such, he among others such as the Penguin decided to go straight... as well as they could. One of his hobbies whenever not being a detective or being with his parole offier was to make riddles or solve them for the Raven's Writing Desk. He couldn't blame the paper for not coming with good ones. After all, he doubted there were many intelligent and sane individuals here in Gotham. Then again, the city was looking better everyday. However, there was also Miss Anthrope... the woman whom has been answering his riddles well. It itrigued him. He had an idea. He began working on his newest riddle. This one would be a layered one... a riddle within a riddle... after all, if she could catch it, perhaps they should talk.
