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?

Batman: Legends Of The Dark Knight
MANY HAPPY RETURNS: We find out through flashbacks that The Joker has a habit of attacking Gotham City every month, as a way of giving Batman a birthday present. Then one month, Joker doesn’t attack, which sends Batman and the GCPD into a paranoid frenzy. They even evacuate the entire city, and Batman searches through every nook and cranny of Gotham. When the present is finally revealed, it's nothing more than The Joker himself standing in the middle of Gotham Square. After Batman beats the crap out of him, Joker says that the present is him knowing that they'll be doing this deadly duel forever.
THE BEAUTIFUL UGLY: Two-Face kidnaps a seemingly innocent man named Aidan Bennet, and holds him hostage in an abandoned courthouse. It’s revealed that Aidan was the prime suspect in Harvey Dent’s first case as D.A., that being a museum robbery gone wrong that involved the death of a security guard. Aidan was released on a technicality, but Harvey knows that he commited the crime, and now it’s time for judgment.
SOLITAIRE: Having escaped Arkham Asylum, The Riddler steps out into Gotham City and breaks into Wayne Tower. As the story goes on, we find out that Riddler was abused by a guard in Arkham Asylum who would never let him have any enjoyment, and the guard has been hired as Wayne Tower’s chief of security. We watch as Riddler easily bypasses security, uploads a computer virus into the mainframe, and even blows up walls, and all without losing his composure. The best way to describe Riddler through most of the story is Calm and Always In Control.
STUDY HALL: Tired of constantly battling the Batman and losing, Jonathan Crane decides to call it quits. He thus sneaks out of Arkham Asylum and flees the city. He then forges his own teaching credentials, creating a false identity. With these, Crane gets himself a job at an upstate college, living the quiet life of a psychology professor. He even begins a friendship with a book smart student named Molly Randall. But it all comes crashing down when Molly is beaten and possibly raped by her boyfriend, Bromley. Enraged, Dr. Crane dons his old Scarecrow costumes and whips out the old, reliable fear toxin. Bromley is about to get a visit from The Scarecrow, and may God have mercy on his soul.
"Bravo, Batman. Checkmate. Shall we play again?"
Just another pic I made of Anarky from Beware The Batman. I know that this version is incredibly polarizing, but I for one love this deranged little chess nerd. How does it look?
"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?"
