Oh Diddle, Diddle The Cat And The Riddle: Chapter 1

I had to this guy should be on everybody's Tumblr, like it should be a requirement

🦔

This is Charles. He wants to go on a journey around tumblr. could you show him around?

Loved the origin for riddler in this show ain't gonna lie.

One of my favorite Batman tropes is when a villain kidnaps someone who was involved in their tragic backstory, and when Bruce is done beating them up he turns to the hostage and says "you know this is all YOUR fault, right?"

My best friend asked me what makes a good fanfic writer great and I told him it was drugs, drugs are the key. Of course, he laughed and told me that was nonsense and that's how I knew he had never read fanfiction, I sent him one to read and I was pretty sure I ruined his life. I began to get worried he was quiet for weeks he wasn't responding to my text or calls until last week, he sent me fanfic he wrote. I read it and it was pretty good and that's when I remembered are conversation from earlier. I called him up and asked him if he was taking drugs and we sat there in silence for awhile before he eventually hung up on me. It turns out he wasn't on drugs he was just messing with me.

Ok I feel I should specify that I support all ships but I have favorites, feel free to send a ship my way, I'll write head canons like super speedy like.

Batgirl: The Story Begins

Gotham was under attack by the Joker, bombs placed all over the city, in the sewers and in buildings. Buildings were calapsing and roads were caving into the sewers. This was the biggest and most destructive attack on the city to date. Batman was fighting Joker while Knightwing and Robin (Jason Todd) were trying to find and disable as many of the explosives as possible. Barbra Gordon Aka batgirl was running down on the ground trying to find a safe spot to change, when a huge boom could be heard and building above exploded raining debre on those below. A man was lying on the ground (presumably tripped) getting trampled by stampedes of people trying to escape the chaos. Barbra spotted the man and a place to change she had to choose one life over hundreds and of coarse she ran in the direction of the man. She fought aginst the current scooping up the wounded man and rushing in a nearby alley way and sitting him aginst the wall. He had bruises and gashes and marks all over his body and then she noticed a peice of shrapnel (Metal bar of some kind) sticking out of his abdomen. He awoke, huffing and breathing fast. Barbra Neal's beside him.

Barbra: "It's going to be Allright "

The man continues to grain and huff.

Barbra: "What's your name"

the man looks up at her

Eddie: "Edward... Evan Nigma but y...ou can ca..ll me... Eddie"

Eddie flashed a weak smile

Eddie: "Every...one does".

Barbra: "I'm gonna call you an ambulance your gonna be ok"

Eddie: " I sai..d you cou...ld call me E...ddie"

Barbra ignored his bad joke but how could he joke at time like this but then again it was admiral how brave he was still keeping a cool mind and acting smooth even on cusp of death. She called the ambulance and waited with Eddie until it got there and started to run off but Eddie calls to her.

Eddie: "di...d'nt catch y...our name".

Barbra: "It's Barbra Gordon, but you can call me barbra".

Eddie flashes another weak smile up at her again

Eddie: "s...ee y...ou later then babs"

This time Eddie didn't smile but smirked. Barbra smiled and shook her he had purposely called her by a different name then she specified not that it botherd her and Eddie wasn't trying to. Babs, the way he said it didn't sound all that bad, she turned away and went to the spot she saw before and changed. Knightwing(Dick grayson) came over the coms.

Knightwing: "we stopped all the bombs we could there are none left were coming your way, Bruce"

Batgirl "I'm on my way too"

Batman(Bruce Wayne) came over the coms

Batman: "No, help all the injured or trapped civilians I've got Joker"

Knightwing and Batgirl: "on it"

Robin "no I want to help"

Batman: "And you will by helping those people"

Robin: "But"

Batman: "JASON YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO SO DO IT"

Robin: "IM GOING TO DO MY JOB ALRIGHT"

Jason hangs up. Few minutes later Dick calls back in

Knightwing:"I can't find Jason he gone"

Batgirl: "I think we all know where he going Bruce keep a look out for him will do the same"

Batgirl and Knightwing continued to look for survivors and Jason. Batman came back over the coms

Batman: "need you over at gotham cathedral now".

Dick and Barbra got over there as quick as they could to see Joker was jumping around cackling as he fought off Batman and Robin with a crowbar atop the roof of the cathedral. The building stood on the edge of a cliff that was slowly eroding much like the building, the cliff hangs over the water with sharp rocks below. Knightwing and Batgirl ran in the building, Dick kicked the stairwell door down and they began to climb their way to the roof. Joker smacked batman with his crowbar sending him flying and then rolling down the opposite part of the slanted roof. Batman caught the edge of the roof and dangled, while Joker then turned toward Jason and slowly walked toward him letting out terrifying laugh and smacked him with the crowbar and Robin hit the ground and Joker began to beat on him, smacking him repeatedly before batman was right behind him and had a hold of his neck and holding off the ground, choking him. Batgirl and Knightwing opened the door and ran onto the roof. Robin got up and Joker looked around frantically before taking atvantage of his free legs and kicking Jason, which pushed him backwards causing him to slip and fall off the roof and into water and sharp rocks below. Everyone stood still it happened so fast it was hard to process what just happened. Barbra and Dick ran to the edge of the roof looking Bellow trying to find some sign of Jason but there was no sign at least from what they could see. Barbra began to cry softly and Dick closed his eyes and sat quietly. Batman threw Joker half way across the roof. The Joker started giggling and laughing.

Batman: "WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ALL THIS"

Joker: " Batsy you know better then anyone, there is no reason, I do it cause I can, oh and cause I'm crazy enough to".

Joker let out a howl

Joker started standing up but the three heros walked toward him cornering him to the edge.

Joker: "I'm am agent of chaos, so you tell me what the point of all this was, because I sure as fuck don't know"

Joker let out a cackle and batman grabbed him and took the sharp points of the blades on his bracers and pushed them aginst Jokers neck. Joker didn't flench nor did he stop smiling.

Joker: " your probably wondering why I've been so silent I guess you could say I was focused, put on a great show and got rid of the brat" Batman was beginning to draw blood as he slowly pushed down trying to fight the erge to kill Joker but slowly failing to do so.

Joker: "he's gone for good you know your never gonna get him back"

Joker then let out goustly chuckle and that was the final straw, Batma drew back his arm and let it go but the blades stopped an inch away from Jokers face. Dick had caught batman's arm dick had tears running down his face.

Batman "let go"

Knightwing: "no this isn't they way Jason wouldn't want this he believed in justice and do process like the rest of us"

Batman: "and now he's gone and there only one to blame".

Batgirl walked over slowly

Batgirl: Knightwing's right do you want to dishonor his memory are you going stoop down to Jokers level. We can't control him but we can control ourselves and keep ourselves in line. We are the only thing keeping gotham intact if we fall so does gotham."

Batman looked at them and took his arm back and punched a Joker who was still smiling and giggling even after he was knocked out.The police got there and put Joker in the back of a prisoner transport van and the cost guard looked for Robin but they didn't find anything. The commissioner(Jim Gordon) walked over

Jim: They found nothing I offer my deepest condolences

Batman rages of in the direction of the batmobile and Knightwing followed after him. The commissioner grabbed his daughters arm.

Jim: " you know im here If you need someone to talk to I'm here for you".

Batgirl: "I know thank you but I think I just need some time alone".

Jim: of coarse take your time".

Batgirl walked off. Knightwing caught up to Batman. Batman stopped.

Batman: you were right the mantle of Robin is cursed".

Knightwing: "I wasnt right, my role as Robin made a better stronger person and it will continue to. It will do the same for the next robin.

Batman: "There won't be another Robin".

Batman got in car and drove off leaving Dick standing there all alone. This is was one of the reasons he stopped being Robin it wasn't the fact that he was robin it was how brice treated him when he was robin and even now he still treats him the same. Dick departed, just ready for today to end.

Barbra went to the hospital the next day to see Eddie, she got him a bouquet of purple flowers. Before she walked in the room she looked through the window and saw Eddie sitting up talking to a girl sitting in chair next to the hospital bed. For some reason Barbra felt disappointed almost upset and she couldn't understand why. Eddie saw her through the window and his eyes went big and then he starts to smirk which Barbra would consider anyone who smirks a shit head person but being a some what good judge of charichter knew Eddie was different. That smirk was actually kind of charming, it belonged there(Ironically more than you know Barbra).Barbra opened the door and walked into the room.

Eddie: "Babs, you came and you brought flowers how sweet"

Barbra face turned red, he was messing with her, so she shrugged it off and put the flowers on the table next to the hospital bed. The girl sitting next to Eddie got up and embraced Barbra in a hug.

Emily: Thank you for saving my brother he all the family I have left.

Shes his sister, this relieved her of whatever she was feeling earlier. Barbra then noticed girl currently hugging her was crying.

Eddie: "calm down Emily, oh Babs meet my sister Emily and Emily you've already met Barbra".

Emily let go and wiped the tears out of her eyes and looked down at her watch.

Emily: "I've got to go to work, it was nice meeting you Barbra".

Barbra: " it was nice meeting you too".

Emily: Eddy I'll be back this afternoon.

Eddie: oh yippee can't wait

Emily rolled her eyes at his sarcastic comment and exited the room and Barbra sat in the chair next to the hospital bed.

Barbra: So how are you feeling

Eddie: I'm feeling good soon I'll be out of here in 5 days

Barbra: you'll be out on Friday .

Barbra looked at the floor

Eddie: what's wrong

Barbra: nothing

Eddie gives her a look

Barbra: a friend of mine died yesterday, his name was Jason, he was like a brother to me.

Eddie: I'm so sorry if you need anything I'm here for you I mean right here I'm gonna be right here for five days.

Barba chuckled a little

Barbra: Thanks

Eddie: Your welcome.....,now I got a very Importent question for you.

Barbra: what

Eddie: what's your favorite color

Barbra looked at him for a moment

Barbra: that's your important question

Eddie: yes

Barbra rolled her eyes at him

Barbra: I've always been parshel to purple

Eddie: my second favorite color I can already tell were gonna get along just fine

Barbra couldn't help but laugh at his antics, but on already serious note she agreed. Eddie would be her first real friend who didn't go out at night in a goofy looking costume.

Barba: so what is your favorite color

Eddie: Green

NOTES

Knightwing isn't a misspelled at least in this case, in my universe that's how you spell it and yes its a play on dark knight.

Jason is dead of coarse not how he originally how he did in the comics I kinda redid it a little or lot whichever and Joker carrys a crowbar, were all screwed.

I know it's obvious red hood will be in the series so I want to hilight on the part where knightwing trys to convince batman that Jason wouldn't want him to kill joker but that iorny considering Jason gets mad at batman for not killing joker.

In this version, Nigma is Eddie's original last name.

Edwards middle name is evan in my version mostly cause I couldn't find his real middle name but also because I wanted somthing that stated with e. Edward Evan Nigma or Edward E. Nigma to me it makes more sense plus that's how most people shorten there name.

Used some slight flirty behavior and when I say slight I mean slight because In my head he a romantic and you know you have to include the smirk.

Thanks to that bar Eddie has a round scar on his chest hmmm almost like a bullet wound and the Joker caused it.

Emily Nigma or E.Nygma I used the original shortening for her name, we kinda had to.

I would like to mention that in this verse this is batman year 4.

Dick was Robin for two and a half years.

Jason was Robin for one and half years.

Barbra has been batgirl for 2 years.

Batman has fought Mr Zaz, Joker, Harley Quinn, Penguin, Catwomen, and Professor Pyg

Catwomen is reformed at least for now who knows if it will last.

If you remember me talking about those special crossover Q&A if these charicters are involved in those question they have a one near there name, they awnser and charicters from different stories will have different numbers next there names.

This story isn't finished still needs editing but it's good enough you'll read and get the main gist and there's gonna be more chapters

Ok there's a ship for Talia and Selina, don't know the ship name but I've heard people talk about it. I don't ship it but it makes me laugh and it's existence still makes me happy. I feel this ship is basically Talia and Selina saying to hell with Bruce and giving each other a kiss while Bruce is either crying or doesn't give a rats ass because them being together makes his life so much easier and simpler. He doesn't have to choose between them and now he can apprehend them with out feelings and shit getting in the way. I imagine Talia and Selina kissing and batman standing there thinking what the fuck.

I still like how in this movie ghost rider beats the shit out of some jerk and then takes his jacket as compensation.

The Rogue Files: Not So Scary

* Note: In my universe Riddler wears a green Ski Mask and carries a revolver*

The Riddler/ Edward Nigma was standing in the corner of Ivy's green house. He was invited to what was supposeidly her party which he assumed sense he was invited it was actually Harley's party and it was Harley who invited him. The other Rogues were crowded on the other side of the Green house making fools of themselves. Edward leaned aginst a wall on the opposite side of the green house with his left hand in his pocket his cane hanging from the crook of his left arm his dark green ski mask pulled just above his mouth and cigarette hanging from his teeth. He stayed as far from others as he possible could because they were all drunk and that was bound to end horribly, he glanced around Ivys Greenhouse but saw nothing interesting. He used his right hand to take a drag of his cigarette. He had the cold expression on his face. He didn't care to much about being alone he was use to it he preferred it there were only certain people he hung out with, everyone else only hurt him. He was so deep in thought he forgot about the cigarette which he held in a balled up fist it was burning a whole in his glove in his skin but he couldn't feel it he didn't feel much pain these days hasn't felt pain in a long time in fact. He dropped the cigarette on the ground and looked at his burned hand and smirked before he dumped it into his pocket. Edward pulled his left hand out of his pocket and moved his cane to the other arm. He pulled his mask back down over his face. Eddie got lost in thought again as a dark green figure jumped out and screamed "HOW DARE YOU LITTER IN MY DOMAIN". The figure pointed at The Riddler and screamed "I WILL DESTROY YOU". Edward snapped back to reality and stood there unaffected stareing coldly at the figure with no sign of fear or even the slightest amount of concern in his eyes. "Ivy how nice of you to drop in" Ed said sarcasticly. Ivy's face twisted into a puzzled like expression. "Why aren't you afraid" Pam snarled. Ed straightened his tie and looked at her with his head angled. "I don't fear people I can beat with a weed Wacker" he said with a cold almost somber tone. Ivy clenched her fist and screamed "PICK IT UP". Ed looked down at the cigarette then back at Ivy. "no" he said bluntly. A vine whipped out from above and stopped centimeters above his head. Ed still stood there cold and expressionless he didn't even flinch. He looked from the vine to Ivy. Pam straitened up crossed her arms and smirked in Eddie's direction. "Do you fear me now". Ed chuckled which grew into a full fledged cackle. "No I can still beat you with a weed wacker". Pam's face twisted into a snarl "I want to see you try". Ed used his left hand and pulled out his revolver from the holster that hung at his side and shot Ivy in the stomach. Pams eyes widened and her mouth dropped; She gripped her gut and took a few steps back in shock before dropping to her knees still clutching her stomach. "WHY DID YOU SHOOT ME". The Riddler's big blue eyes had a twinkle in them he was smirking behind his mask. He returned his gun to its holster. Ed put one foot forward and leaned forward slightly. "Because I didn't have a weed wacker".

Ok but here's the thing Edward was bullied in school and abused by his father and Johnathan was bullied in school and abused by his grandmother isn't that the same story?

Like I know people don’t like to hear that Scarecrow is a bully because they relate to him having been bullied, but that’s what he is. He’s a bully who thinks he’s still a victim and thus has the right to keep lashing out at representations of his tormentors and he doesn’t care if he has to hurt innocent people to do it. Scarecrow is actually one of few characters who has no problem at all harming women and children and this is representative of the fact that what he does no longer has anything to do with personal justice - if it ever did - and has everything to do with his loving the power he has over those whom he perceives to be as weak as he once was

When heros quit I refer to these moments as Throw your suit in the trash can moments or T.Y.S.T.C moments
