i can't believe i never posted Bookworm, my friend Bookworm! can you tell i love obscure rogues?

Ian King was a professional storyteller whose small program was suddenly shut down due to embezzlement, and their unemployment withheld due to legal red tape. The other members of the troupe looked to Ian for help, which led him to organize a break-in to get everyone their due pay. Once Ian realized how "easy" it was to get away with crime, however -- and with no other immediate job prospects -- he took up the Bookworm title and began a series of Robin-hood style crimes, using thievery to fund intuitions and forcibly restructure public education / welfare programs. At the same time, Ian was also writing his own series of children's mystery novels, a-la Sherlock Holmes. But to spice up his plots, he included details of his real-life crimes, which eventually led to him being tracked down and arrested by Batman. Due to the nature of his crimes, as well the results of his physical and mental evaluation, Ian was deemed guilty and sentenced to Arkham Asylum.

I'm just gonna share a random thought I just had. I don't like not being able to share context here, but I have to force myself to focus here. So...you know how the Riddler, the Scarecrow and the Mad Hatter are referred to as the Dork Squad? Well, I think there should be a group known as the knock-off dork squad. Using a thesaurus offline....I think Nerd Band would be a great name for this group. Who is this group I want to call the Nerd Band? Simple. The Bookworm, Ragdoll and Music Meister. Great villains who i bet are derided as cheap rip-offs of Riddler, Scarecrow and the Mad Hatter. So i seriously want to have a story about these three, trying desperately to make legitimate names for themselves as crooks in Gotham. I'd love that story a lot.

regarding the bingo, bookworm x scarecrow? :0

Never think of them together, before this ask. But yeah ! I can see it ! Just them reading books together, just happy to have their love with them. Cute !

Going into my Riddler should be a book nerd and more specifically a language nerd and poetry fanboy belief: him, Bookworm, Oracle and Red Hood should totaly start a book club.

And before someone asks why Oracle is here classic Barbara Gordon used to work as a librarian and was a literature nerd and research goddess and we should bring this traits back.

Poor Fool: *says some shit about literally anyone Eliza cares about*

Eliza: *pulls a dagger from inside her skirt* “You want to say that again bitch?”

Adam: *desperately trying not to blush because that was hot as fuck* “Peach please don’t, we’re trying to have a nice dinner.”

[OOC Post]

First and foremost, I’d like to say hello everyone here. I also want to apologizing for leaving and not really giving any reason for it, but Bookworm is back and he’s better than ever.

I’m not the best with words, but I just want to say I’m happy to be back amongst some of the best DC muns.

Warm regards,

Mun
