I’m Currently Writing An Elseworld’s Batman Story Set In The 1870s Wild West. Bruce Wayne Comes To

My redesign of The Batman (2004) Riddler. 

I Love/Hate the “Marilyn Manson” design Riddler had in the show. I love it because it's so outrageous, but I hate it because it's simply a terrible Riddler design. I decided to keep the face and hair but change the outfit to look like something a computer hacker would wear, since the show's interpretation of Riddler was basically a cyber-terrorist.

The Joke’s On You!

"Riddle me this, Gotham, since you've tuned in once again to my little show. Who can still be surprised at something as tragic as a bombing in Gotham? A tourist. Truly, my Gothamites, does a day pass without tragedy? Does anyone truly know what lies in the heart of the person next to you? Doesn't take the world's greatest detective to figure that one out. And speaking of........ Riddle Me This, Batman. What is the call that can only be heard after the fat lady sings?"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Lady Lotus' Newest Design

After a few years of wearing her black spandex combat suit, Himiko Murakami (Lady Lotus) noticed something she hadn't before: her costume looked almost exactly like Bonfire's costume. Deciding to change it to make it more distinct, Himiko decided to alter the layout of the costume without altering it drastically. She eventually swapped out the orange piping for orange color patches on her sides as well as an orange patch around her neck to break up all of the black. She also gave it a few openings for her skin to show so she could breathe a bit better during combat, making it reminiscent of an exercise suit. Other than that, she still kept the slippers and waist-cape.

This design was inspired by The Riddler (The Batman 2004), Medley (Fortnite), and Fire God Liu Kang (Mortal Kombat 1). How does it look?

Katana Tribute (Warrior)

This is a song I found that I think fits Tatsu Yamashiro a.k.a Katana from Beware The Batman perfectly. Give it a listen!

Villains: Eternity (Ramsey Rossmo)

In an attempt to travel back in time to visit his dead wife, Dr. Ramsey Rossmo uses an experimental time machine to relive his happy years with her. Unfortunately, he winds up finding out that him traveling back in time is the reason why his wife died. While trying to adjust history to fix his mistake, his machine malfunctions and sends him back to the beginning of the universe, wherein he was frozen in stasis, just watching time pass him by. He couldn’t go forward to when he was born, nor back before he got caught in stasis. All he could do was watch time pass him by. He saw the birth of the first organism, the first fish to crawl onto dry land, the first homosapien walk on two legs, the first decipherable language spoken, the first war, the first civilization, and everything that led up to where everyone was in the future. During his time in stasis, he realized that there was no god, and he came to the conclusion that every religious war was completely pointless. He finally fell out of stasis when he caught up to his time period, that being 2179. After coming out of stasis, he claimed to be a time god, and that he was here to prove that all of our petty squabbling over religious beliefs were all for nothing. He then gained a massive amount of followers, and they proceeded to lay siege to all of Harking City’s religious institutes, burning down every church and religious gathering. After they massacred an entire hate church full of Neo-Nazis, his “Religion of Eternity” gained a massive cult following. They even beheaded the Archdeacon of the Christian Church, and hung all of the priests from the roof. They were eventually stopped by Bonfire, who was an Atheist, too. 

LADY LOTUS: REFORMED SUPERHERO

After losing everything during the events of Assassin-Nation, Lady Lotus is imprisoned beneath Carlyle Tower in a cell in the middle of a 50 ft deep tank of water. When she finds out that Ryuko has now become the queen of New Tokyo, she feels a strange sense of satisfaction that her greatest nemesis was able to do what she could not. Realizing that she completely wasted her life, Himiko Murakami's ego finally shatters. Now left with a deep desire to fix her ways, she plans to escape and become a superhero. Her chance comes sooner than she expected when someone opens her cell and lets her escape. Unfortunately, this anonymous source isn't here to help her. It wants to destroy her. Why? Out of sheer absolute boredom. The Midas Collective is a cabal of rich assholes who meet up every month and use their infinite resources to destroy someone's life for their own amusement. Some days, it's a politician; others, it's an innocent man. This year their victim is Lady Lotus. They don't plan to kill her, they plan to destroy her entire life and then kill her. After freeing her from prison, they let her head to one of her safe houses before blowing it up with a missile. This does inspire Lotus to be heroic and save everyone caught in the blast. The Collective then kidnaps every single one of her assassins, letting Himiko know by sending her Viper wrapped in a bomb vest with a deadman's trigger. After Himiko saves Viper with the help of Mariko Murakami, they follow Viper to where the assassins are being held: in the abandoned Murakami Manor, which has been converted into a funhouse maze full of the Murakami family's sins. They find the assassins at the end of the maze strapped to the wall and rigged with bombs wired to their hearts. In 2 minutes, everyone will die. Or Himiko can kill the assassins via electrocution and save herself. Unable to choose, the assassins chose for her and kill themselves with poison capsules. All Himiko can do is cry in utter shame at the deaths of all of her surrogate children. After that, Himiko tracks down every member of the Midas Collective and exposes their crimes. Running out of people and resources, the leader, Midas, gets desperate and tries to assassinate Ryuko, but fails thanks to Himiko informing the heroes ahead of time. Himiko nearly kills him as revenge but loses the nerve when Midas cowardly begs for death to avoid going to prison. Lotus ultimately decides to spare him to prove that she truly has changed. After a long discussion, the heroes reluctantly give Lotus a chance at redemption on their time. It took a few years, but Lotus slowly managed to prove that she has what it takes to be a true hero, using her superior intellect and martial arts mastery to crack down on criminal operations across Harking City and New Tokyo. To move on from the past, Himiko makes it her goal to make Lady Lotus a force of Justice rather than Vengeance. To do so, she completely changes her design. She abandons the black and orange kimono with the red boots for a black skin-tight coat with tai chi slippers. To still retain her orange theme, she adds orange piping along her coat and pants. She also abandons the geisha makeup for black lipstick and orange eye shadow. She

This design was heavily inspired by Iron Fist (Marvel), Colleen Wing (Marvel), Chun Li (Street Fighter 6), and the show TRON UPRISING. Do you like it, or do you prefer her original design?

PYRA

Ember Crawford was born into a poor family in Glasgow, Scotland. Her father worked in Steel Mill as a smelter while her mother worked in a brewery. After her great-grandfather died, her family inherited the decaying Crawford Clan castle in the Scottish Highlands. While living in the castle, Ember spent a lot of her time in the castle's humongous library, reading books about knights battling the incarnations of evil. She loved every single story, and would often play knights and dragons with the family dog. When she turned 12, her father told her about their family history. Their ancestors used to be Templar knights back during the Crusades, and they used to be very rich up until the 1980s. Inspired to uphold her family legacy, Ember dedicated herself to learning the ways of the knight. She excelled in school, scoring at the top of her class in literature and sports. She took up sword-fighting in her spare time and soon became one of the best in the country. After she graduated from college, she moved to America to rebuild her family's fortune by working as the curator of the Natural History Museum in Washington, DC. A decade later, Ember had built up quite a successful life in America and was very close to achieving her goal of rebuilding her family fortune. She also worked as a part-time sword-fighting instructor. One day, Jackson Carlyle (a.k.a) Bonfire would make a decision that would change the lives of so many people. Seeing that the supervillain population has exceeded that of the heroes, Bonfire made a risky decision to sell the Super Power serum at a consumer level. Whoever wants to be a hero will be allowed to purchase it and will receive training from the Carlyle Corporation to master their powers as well as defending themselves. Seeing the ultimate way to fulfill her dream, Ember decided to sign up for the super program and was given the superpower serum. Her powers were the ability to control and manifest fire. Wanting to be a sword fighter as well as a flame thrower, she signed on for lessons from Ryuko and Bonfire to become the hero she always wanted to be. A few months later, Ember made her superhero debut to the world as Pyra, the flaming knight of honor.

SHADOW'S NEWEST DESIGN

Deciding to update her look, Shadow asks the fashionista hero Obscura and her father Lucius Jet to help design her a new costume. After much trial and error, they create a new costume that is bulletproof and resistant to electricity. It also comes packing some new hidden features: A special radar pulse she can emit by pressing a button on her sleeve that amplifies her echo location; Special adhesive boots and gloves that let her cling to and walk on walls; and a retrieval function that allows her to summon her staff if it is ever separated from her hand.

This design was heavily inspired by Tanya & Sindel (MK1), Okoye & She-Hulk (MCU), and Clea (Marvel Comics). What do you think?
