MERRY CHRISTMAS From Carlyle Tower!

Deadpool 3 - Cast

While on a mission, Deadpool & X-Force come across the chaotic duo of Madcap & Slapstick, two wisecracking, 4th Wall breaking, anarchist clowns with the same healing factor as Deadpool. Both parties begin a long feud as they're constantly sent on the same missions to assassinate the same people. Before long, the entire movie turns into a size-measuring contest between these 3 annoying and immature dick weeds.

"It appears violence is baked into the fabric of our very lives these days. Don't fret, my little chickens. All things must come to an end, dear Gotham. And over time, answers give way to new mysteries. And when original lessons are forgotten, all we have are the questions we started with. We're back to the beginning: When is a murderer not a murderer?"

LADY LOTUS

For about 300 years, the Murakami Family was a part of Japanese royalty, with many of their descendants being raised to be kings, lords, and queens. Himiko was raised to be one of these nobles, and was given everything she ever asked for on a silver platter. When she turned 15, her narcissistic, abusive and self-righteous father decided he wanted to humble his family by living amongst the commoners, much to the dismay of everyone else. Given that Japan had been ruled by the rich 1% from the comfort of the flying city of New Tokyo and the poor had been left to decay in squalid conditions, the commoners saw an opportunity to release their rage on one of the former nobles. The family was constantly harassed by everyone, when all they wanted was to live a peaceful life. Eventually, Himiko’s mother succumbed to illness and died within a month, and she would’ve survived if they’d been living in their palace with the finest doctors. Then one fateful day, the commoners laid siege to their home, strung Himiko, her father, and her sister to the wall, and burned down their house. On that day, something inside of Himiko snapped, and she swore that no matter what, she’d get back at everyone, and burn down everything and everyone they love. She then killed her father, changed her identity, and joined a powerful Yakuza mob, gradually working her way up the ranks until she was the right hand assistant of the leader. She then poisoned and killed him by sprinkling a poisonous lotus flower in his food. Overtaking the crime family, she turned their headquarters into an underground network of assassins called "The Lotus Network", taking the name Lady Lotus. In a year, she was able to take over the entire criminal underworld of Japan, making herself one of the most powerful people in the country. Having established true order in her country, Himiko became a better leader than most of the politicians running Japan, so much so that she became a member of Japanese high society, though she had no desire to join New Tokyo's society, seeing it for the shallow garden of narcissism and apathy it truly is. She ran Japan better than anyone else, as she actually gave a shit about the people living under her. When she took control, she made the economy stable, provided free health care, and made sure everyone in Japan was happy and content. Unfortunately, she made things better through a lot of shed blood. Deciding that Earth would be a better place with her as its benevolent queen, Lady Lotus set her sights on the entire world. No matter the cost, she'll make the world a better place.

Arkham Asylum: Kingdom Of Madness - Joker

After the inmates are freed from their cells and start a riot in Arkham Asylum, Batman has to journey in and resolve the chaos. To take back the asylum and save the guards and doctors taken hostage, Batman has to fight off a lot of his villains. He has to fight Poison Ivy in the Greenhouse, Scarecrow in the Medical Wing, Mad hatter in the Cafeteria, Two-Face in the Security Wing, and The Joker in the Movie Theater, where Joker dresses in drag and sings "I'm A Sweet Transvestite" from Rocky Horror Picture Show. However, it's revealed that the person who set the inmates free is none other than the head doctor, Hugo Strange. Hugo is revealed to be a complete nut case who's obsessed with Batman, and his plan was to see how he's able to defeat his rogues gallery. Revealing he's figured out who Batman is, his ultimate goal is to replace Batman, planning on trapping him inside Arkham Asylum. He'd then taking up the mantle of Batman, thinking that he'd be a better Batman than Bruce ever was.

In this story, Joker naturally wouldn't have his costume since he's still in Arkham. In order to compensate with his stylish personality, he steals his doctor's blue trench coat, pink scarf, and red heels. He then slits her throat and paints his face and nails with her blood. I based the design off of Nica Pierce's final look in Cult Of Chucky.

Katana (Beware The Batman)

I did a few sketches of Katana's original show design. Why not? I do understand why they went with what they made: It's easy to draw and replicate. And it's not bad by any means, just a bit plain. Tatsu has this real elegance to her character, exuding confidence and determination with sprinkles of compassion and wit seen throughout the series. Her completely black design does resemble a ninja, which is how her and Batman are often portrayed as. I just wish her look had more to it, is all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
