To all the local Batfam kins that keep chiming in recently (esp Nightwing), just know although I can’t relate to you all, let alone a mainstream comics verse, I am standing and giving you all a thumbs up.

From a very safe distance.

You guys are all cool and wishing you well!

Having the time of my life rn (replaying the Arkham games on Switch and getting teary when I see all the other rogues). We may not have gotten along, and fuck knows we had weird or complicated relationships with most of them, but I miss those guys a lot. You all are great.

Oh and Bruce and Jim too I suppose even if I wasn’t. You know. Good anymore.

Mild Arkham Shadow spoilers but it’s really just my backstory so. Shrugs.

Watching my father say all those things about how as a Dent I’m doomed to just being a bad person is so… I don’t even know where to begin talking about it. “We self-sabotage. See, there's something broke in our brains. It sees the good in this world and sets it on fire.”

Father, for goodness sake, there is something called a cycle of abuse. Of course there’s something wrong with the both of us, but why me? It was you with the drinking problem, you who beat me up almost every night. You were the reason I became the way I was. You and only you. I don't even know why you bothered to take all of that out on a child, not to mention be the result for pretty much everything I had to deal with.

Memories from this canon are still extremely blurry. I know for a fact though in that life I had repressed a lot of my childhood, Two-Face had much more memories from it. It's a strange memory to recall but he did once try to encourage me to go back and kill you. I don't know if I did though. Coin probably turned up unscarred. I didn't share his sentiment back then that you were filth. I had remorse for you. But now? God, you were awful, but there is that feeling I still have that makes me fully unable to hate you.

*picks up me in Origins* You know not of the horrors, Nashton.

I don’t know, I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently what with Shadow coming out and the fact that I can’t play it. I was actually so willing to try and expose corruption even if I went to terrible means to do so. Maybe that’s why I thought Batman wasn’t selfless, because he tried to stop me. It would make sense.

I like to think if my two current shifts met they would either work very hard to conquer Gotham or they’d immediately start trying to kill each other, which is so funny given the relationship I had with their counterpart in those verses.

I mean in Arkhamverse I had a very very icy business only relationship with Cobblepot, and in Gotham… well, you know everything that was happening there. I can just imagine the conversation going like, “Wait, you build mass scale death traps?” “Wait, you’re not British???”

Well I started playing Origins, I sure hope this doesn’t randomly churn up memories of what was going on during the events of it-

…

Um hi to any Barbaras out there, if there’s any that’s Arkhamverse specific. Just wanted to say it was great knowing you back when I was still a decent person and part of the GCPD. I really did see you like a little sister almost! I have to say I’m really glad how you turned out. It was best of you to use your skills for what was right. Keep up the good work, kid.

Shoutout to when I was first introduced to the Rogues Gallery back when everyone was still considering themselves a small group of talented villains and Cobblepot couldn’t take me seriously. The first thing he said to me was, “You’d better call me sir, boy. I’m the best here and without some propa courtesy then you’ll be out on your arse.” Gee, thank you, Cobblepot. I’m still not calling you sir.

I've spent a lot of time recently playing City and Knight to collect trophies. Honestly I’m proud of myself for not searching up a lot of guides except for a difficult few that the map was being obnoxious about. I’m close on both to getting all of it done too! I’ll probably have finished City’s by the time this is published too.

And by the way to any of the other Rogues if you’re out there, I miss you all a lot. I don’t think I ever said that to any of you but I appreciate you all so much. You did a lot of good to me in this life too by being the main reason I loved these games so much as a kid.
