Later, at the awards, the pair were approached by Harley Quinn (who herself was nominated in the same category with her girlfriend Poison Ivy) who called him "Cock King" although he clarified that that was "the other guy". Harley began to revel in how great it would be when she won, at which point Clock King showed of a picture of him and Riddler with the head of the Gotham Forum Press, that were presenting the Awards, after having gifted him a dog as a way of lobbying for their win. After commenting on the importance of campaigning for the win ahead of these awards, Harley swiftly left them to try and sway the win in her favor.

During the ceremony, the pair watched uncomfortably from their table when Catwoman was awarded the "Joe Chill Honorary Award" and used her acceptance speech to criticize the Villys for overlooking black villains' accomplishments. Later, Clock King was devastated when it was revealed that Harley and Ivy had won the "Best Couple" award and began crying, exclaiming how they would never win all because of his clock head. Riddler began reassuring him that he was loved and accepted. The pair reaffirmed their love for each other and attempted to kiss, although were again disrupted by Clock King's head.

## Trivia

* According to Tawny, Clock King and Riddler were some of Gotham's first openly gay supervillains.
* His costume is based off the Silver Age Clock King from the comics so he is likely the William Tockman version of the character, not Temple Fugate who originated from *Batman: TAS*. Temple only wears clock glasses and carries a clock hand cane and does not wear a clock mask on his face.
