Theromise Healthcare Plans Officially Foiled

April 18th, 2025

Written by: Piera Landen

Theromise Healthcare, the Gotham-based company making medicine from the blood of incarcerated children in a form of modern-day vampirism, has officially been stopped. Rumors indicate that the Faultless Juvenile Detention Center has been stormed by an assortment of Gotham’s elusive vigilantes, and the children involved rescued. Scarlett Martha Scott, founder and CEO of Theromise Healthcare, is under active investigation.

For those of you who missed our last update on Theromise Healthcare, linked here, the company was recently exposed for stealing the blood of children to make a drug named Sangraal that restored the youth of Gotham’s elite. The mysterious Batman delivered a file of information to Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent, who verified the contents and identity of Batman with Metropolis’ very own Superman. Clark Kent then published an exposé in the next morning’s copy of the Daily Planet, bringing the numerous crimes of Theromise Healthcare and Faultless Juvenile Detention Center to light.

Immediately following the breaking news, the headquarters of Theromise Healthcare in downtown Gotham City exploded in an unknown attack. Thankfully, only Scarlett Martha Scott and her lead doctor, Dr. Bridgett Forster, were in the vicinity of the explosion. Rumors indicate that Batman swiftly rescued them, though the GCPD has refused to comment on the urban myth’s potential involvement in the affair.

The GCPD also refused to comment on the rumors that multiple other Gotham vigilantes, such as Batgirl, Robin, and Signal, were spotted attacking the Faultless Juvenile Detention Center on the edge of Gotham City. But regardless of whether the elusive Gotham vigilantes were involved or not, the GCPD did confirm that the guards aware of the Sangraal scheme have been taken into custody and that Warden Slattery has been arrested under suspicion of assault, child abuse, child exploitation, coercion, embezzlement, and fraud. He has been placed into Blackgate to await trial.

Similarly, Dr. Bridgett Forester, after being taken into custody by the GCPD, was further investigated and determined to be an alias. The real Bridgett Forster reportedly died of malaria a decade ago. The official GCPD press release confirmed that Dr. Bridgett Forster’s DNA matched that of Evelyn Scott, the mother of Scarlett Martha Scott. They also confirmed Evelyn Scott’s identity as the recently surfaced serial killer acting in Gotham City under the name Asema. Evelyn is responsible for the murder of multiple children released from Faultless Juvenile Detention Center, and the abduction and attempted murder of her former sexual partner, Joe Chill. She is also now in Blackgate, awaiting trial for child exploitation, unethical human experimentation, and medical fraud.

Scarlett Martha Scott is not currently in custody, however the GCPD has explained that they are keeping a close eye on her while they investigate her potential knowledge of the events. The GCPD has similarly determined, after testing her DNA for traces of Sangraal, that Ms. Scott’s father was none other than the same Joe Chill that her mother attempted to kill. Joe Chill is also the man who famously murdered Martha and Thomas Wayne, the parents of billionaire Bruce Wayne, whom Scarlett was rumored to be secretly dating. However, the two appear to have broken off whatever relationship they had following the revelation, and Joe Chill is being treated in Gotham Memorial Hospital for injuries sustained in Evelyn Scott’s attack.

Bruce Wayne has also pledged to devote Wayne Enterprises’ extensive legal team to assisting in the shutdown of Faultless Juvenile Detention Center. Instead, he announced, they will be creating a new organization dedicated to the successful rehabilitation and reintegration of criminals with a particular emphasis on young offenders. This organization will likely work closely with his adoptive son Timothy Drake-Wayne’s already existing Neon Knights Initiative that focuses on helping at-risk teenagers and preventing first offenses (read our interview with Mr. Drake-Wayne about the initiative here!).

All in all, Theromise Healthcare will not be operating again for a long time, if ever. And hopefully the children and families affected by the Sangraal and Faultless scheme will receive some closure, after Wayne Enterprises’ lawyers succeed in shutting down the detention center. But for now, the GCPD has relocated the inmates to a secure facility, and vowed to protect them. And we at the Daily Planet sincerely hope they receive the justice they deserve for the atrocities committed on them.

Jupp. Mer gratisfilm från tuben. Klassisk action SF från staterna och ett och annat guldkorn. Dessutom: TV4/Cmore har frälst oss med Vallarnas uppsättning av Åsa-Nisse.

7 gyllene städer / Seven Cities of Gold (1955) [🆓] Trevligt äventyrsdrama men som kanske "putsar upp" den historiska förankringen.

Alla tiders Åsa-Nisse (2022) [👍🎭] Vallarna gör Åsa-Nisse och bär John Elfströms arv med heder. Det här är på många sätt bättre än "Wälkom to Knohult".

Demolition Man (1993) [👍🔁] Det är något visst med 90-talets actionröjjare. Visst, skurken är som hämtad ur Kalle Anka men resten är riktigt bra.

Den farliga hjärnan från planeten Auros / Brain from Planet Arous, the (1957) [🆓]

Fantomgrottornas hemlighet / What Waits Below (1985) [🆓]

Future Justice (2014) [👎🆓] Lågbudget D-film som man med äran i behåll kna hoppa över. Vill väldigt gärna vara som flykten från New York.

Giant of the Evil Island / Il mistero dell'isola maledetta (1965) [🆓]

Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) [👍] Överraskar efter JW2 med att vara riktigt bra. Plus -- det är skitkul att se det gamla gänget samlat igen.

Strid på Havets Botten / Beneath the 12-Mile Reef (1953) [🆓]

Sword of the Barbarians, the / Sangraal, la spada di fuoco (1982) [🆓]

Time Trap (2017) [👍] Överraskande bra lågbudet SF.

Zorros Tre Värjor / Le tre spade di Zorro (1963) [👍🆓] Cult Cinema Classic kastade upp den här på sin YT-kanal med tysk dubb och svenska undertexter. Lyckas genomgående stava fel på Zorro (hur lyckas man liksom) men filmen är helt okej.

Åsa-Nisse. Okej, ge gärna "Jurassic World 3" en chans men annars är det Åsa-Nisse ni skall se denna månad.
