Spoiler Warning for the end of Batman Arkham Knight

--------------------------------------------------

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Mmhahahaha! Oh, you are truly delightful, my dear. Thank you for the pictures, they couldn't be more perfect. What do you think, Jon?

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Mnegh... I'm naht cute.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Oh yes you are, mhmm. Don't mind him, he loves it. I think I'll set this as background on my phone, actually.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Oh jesus chroist...

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Mhmmhmm. Oh, and also, fyi, the glasses are back. Jon and I are, mmh, you could say, on vacation. A little break from crime, violence, and most of all, from the new uprising protectors of Gotham. What did Miss Vale call them? The Gotham Knights? Something like that, oh, but I digress. Also, is it just me or do some of the words you say not make all that much sense?

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Hm. Remin's me o' yer old assistant from back in yer full spandex days. Whut wuz 'er name again?

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Miss Tuesday? So you're saying this is some new slang the "cool kids" say nowadays, is that it?

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

So-mh like tha'.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Hmm... I might look into that. Although I already dread to find out which words the youth twists the meaning of this time, but why let down an opportunity to learn new things to create new riddles? Bats' protégés are of the younger generation, after all. And whether I like it or not, I'll have to challenge them now, since our dear Brucey has gone into retirement after your whole fiasco.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Hurmph.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Either way, my point being, I am wearing glasses again, because I'm laying low right now, seeing how everything plays out with Batman gone, and his "kids" taking over. And you're right, I do look much more handsome with glasses.

i got arkham origins and i was so thrilled to have sane eddie i spent the first 2 hours of playing the game JUST finding datapacks.

Oh you Sweet Summer Child.... how i love you..

like he sounds so NORMAL?? he doesnt have his FLARE! his HUZZAH!! hes so normal. (not normal but POINT STILL STANDS)

POV: What 10 years of mental illness and batman does to a man (hes no longer blind, hes cured from needing glasses. also dont ask why nashton is a cat)

[kun1nn]

STOP calling him The Rizzler the only thing he pulls is his own hair when he can't come up with new riddles.

[bianc0re]

Their looks? Questionable

Their intentions? Also questionable 🧩

[skaspert]

query and echo! also miss tuesday

[hauntingrabbits]

Happy Batman day! Went back and finished the last batch of the MLP AU I had sketched way back in May.

Part 1, Part 2

More info under the cut!

Enigma/The Riddler (Edward Nygma)

Intelligence and puzzle-solving are deeply valued among sphinxes, and those who fall short of their standards are often ridiculed and cast out. Among some (prejudiced) Sphinxes, other sapient, non-Sphinx species such as ponies are looked down-upon or seen as fundamentally inferior for not putting as much stock in puzzles and the like as sphinxes do.

Enigma, though considered a prodigy for his remarkable intelligence and skill with puzzles even among his fellow Sphinxes, was ostracized when a pony unfamiliar with Sphinx culture (a younger Sundown traveling Equestria for his training), humiliated Enigma by unraveling a puzzle of his that was meant to be judged as his final submission in a prestigious event, permanently staining his reputation and wounding his massive ego.

After years of quiet ridicule from his peers and his own growing obsession over the event, Enigma eventually snapped and fled to Gotham for revenge. His contempt has since spread far beyond that of the original pony he wished to prove his superiority over, and he now makes all of Gotham the target of his obsessive schemes, constantly trying to prove his superiority and feed his ego by putting ponies through his elaborate puzzles and riddle-based traps. He sees Batpony’s skill and determination in foiling him as both an inherent challenge to and a slight against his own abilities, reminding him far too much of that original pony from so long ago. 

Other notes:

-Apparently sphinxes in MLP have pony heads instead of human heads which makes sense I guess but it threw me through such a loop man.

-Whilst traversing the wiki I ended up with the same problem I had with chimeras in the first post where only one ever shows up in the series and there's no other info on them. So I made stuff up again.

- I imagine Sphinxes live a very long time, so the event Enigma was embarrassed at would probably take a long time to roll around again and he'd be forced to stew with his anger and wounded ego for far too long. I'm not sure what the puzzle was exactly or how Sundown dismantled it, but I imagine he did something extremely simple that a Sphinx would never have thought of (a la that software engineering joke), making it feel far more unfair and humiliating than if he'd solved in the intended way.

-His naturally crooked tail settles into the shape of a question mark, and the pattern on his arm is meant to look like a stylized question mark wrapping around his forearm (the "dot" is the white of his paw).

2. Miss Friday (Miss Tuesday)

Enigma’s teenaged assistant, Miss Friday seems to be the only pony the sphinx enjoys (or perhaps simply tolerates) the company of. Beyond her having met Enigma in Tartarus during their simultaneous imprisonments, the exact origins of her relationship to and exceptional status with her boss are a bit of a riddle in of themselves. Regardless, the two seem to have something of a mutual understanding, and Miss Friday’s mental prowess and dubious moral code are more than a match for Enigma’s own.

Other Notes:

-Yes this is a "The horse's name was Friday" joke. I'm sorry it was just too good to pass up.

-Miss Tuesday already sounded like a MLP name, but the horse named Friday thing was just too perfect for somebody who works under a guy who's whole thing is riddles. Also I relistened to the BTAA episode where she's introduced while coloring her and I noticed they reference His Girl Friday several times, so fun coincidence?

-The candy-striped leg patterns are based on her canon costume's striped pants & are meant to mirror the Riddler's wrapped leg pattern. The dark patterns on her face are supposed to be reminiscent of eye bags.

3. Mania (Bat-Mite)

Bat-Pony’s self-proclaimed biggest fan, Mania is a Draconequus embodying the spirit of obsession. Normally he watches the hero from his own dimension, but at times he tries to insert himself into the narrative or help Sundown fight, both to varying degrees of success. Though he genuinely adores Bat-Pony, Mania is usually more of a hindrance than a help, and can even be directly antagonistic at times when his obsession goes too far. 

Other notes:

-Similar issue to Chimeras and Sphinxes, only two Draconequuses (Draconequui?) show up in the series, one being Discord (embodying chaos), the other being a comics-only villain known as Cosmos (embodying malice), but honestly what little we're given worked super well for the character anyway. Discord seems to come from his own unique plane of existence/dimension and Cosmos has similarly strange origins; both have penchants for causing mischief with incredible reality-warping powers; and both embody non-physical concepts. Bat-Mite being a reality warping 5th dimensional creature obsessed with Batman was surprisingly easy to adapt.

-He has the head of a pony, a ferret-like body, two front rat paws, mite antennae, an insectoid wing, a bat wing, a pigeon foot, a chevrotain (mouse deer) foot, and a monkey tail. I tried to have him mostly made up of animals that were very small, seen as mischievous, and/or seen as pests.

4. Poison Ivy (Pamela Isley)

Said to be more plant than pony, Poison Ivy is the self-proclaimed princess of the Green. Though once a regular Earth pony, she began to spiral after receiving her cutie mark and fully coming into her powerful natural attunement to plant life. Fleeing into the nearby forests on the outskirts of Gotham, she wasn’t seen again until many years later when Gotham’s city refurbishment and expansion efforts began to encroach on the forests borders, where she reemerged with strange new powerful magic and retaliated violently.

Though she isn’t recognized politically or physically as an alicorn, plants grow from the flesh of her body in the pattern of a horn and wings characteristic of those born into or bestowed with royalty, and the strange natural magic that accompanies them seems to almost rival that of a true alicorn’s.

Other notes:

-I dont really have anything to add to this one I just thought a false alicorn would be a cool concept.

-the whole alicorn royalty thing is very strange to think about isnt it? I feel like the ruling class having such insane amounts of physical and magical power probably has much more pressing ramifications than ever was, would, or should be addressed in a kids show but they are fun to think about.

-Her actual name is Poison Ivy, yes. It sounded like a pony name. I don't know what that says about her parents.

-The leaf wings are folded down in the graphic but I think they are flighted, or at the very least useful for gliding and expressing emotions.

5. Saltbrine (Oswald Cobblepot)

Short, stout, and flightless, Saltbrine’s moniker of “The Penguin” has its origins in the taunts of his peers from his youth. Though the title has persisted into the current day, it’s often spoken with far more fear and trepidation throughout the alleys and backstreets of Gotham than ridicule. Saltbrine owns two of Gothams most well-known businesses, one being the luxurious, high-class Iceberg Lounge…and the other being the organized crime syndicate the former acts as a front for.

Other notes:

-Again don't have much to add to this one. One of my favorite designs though, I love the giant beak face.

-The bird half is actually based on a puffin, because a penguin felt too on the nose for Oswald and too strange for a hippogriff (I couldn't get the wings or face to look right at all either). I feel like the title being an insult works a little better if he's not literally half-penguin.

-he's the same color my club penguin avatar used to be (RIP)

Had to redraw this scene because Edward and Miss Tuesday literally have this vibe

[skrunckly]

sighhhh my two favorite silly henchmen

[kotalketz]

WHERE IS LEX LUTHOR SO I CAN SLAP HIS BALD HEAD. WHERE IS HE. ALSO MERCY???? PLEASE.

ALSO FINALLY MY PENGUIN AND RIDDLER DESIGNS ALONG WITH MISS TUESDAY.

[riddlers-left-buttcheek]

so I'm finally listening to Batman: The Audio Adventures and...

(at the Iceberg Lounge) Penguin: GET OUT OF MY WAY WAAA WAA WAA (Penguin storms off) (Miss Tuesday, Riddler's assistant, recording a message) Miss Tuesday: ... Anyway, sorry Eddie, you're so right, Penguin is agro. What was I sayin'? Oh, yeah, the "special ice" is delivered or whatever. I didn't have any problems scoring it from Scarecrow gang either. Autumn says this one's free, then the next one's gonna cost us. Oh! And Autumn says Scarecrow says hi. I think you should call him, Ed. You don't have any friends and it's sad, like... Get some friends and stop reading riddle books or whatever. Eddie, it's like so easy to just not be weird. Ok, what else... Uhm, that's it. Tuesday out.

EXCUSE ME??? This is like the first time Scarecrow is mentioned in the podcast, and it's because Edward needs something from him. I bet that special ice is frozen fear toxin or something.

Also, he gets the first batch for free?? Hello??? Jon was like omg my pookie needs something from me, ofc he'll get the first one for free uwu.

AND SCARECROW SAYS HI???? SO CUTE??????

And Tuesday says Ed should call him, like brotherrrr. I imagine they get together, Jon's over at Eddie's all the time and they're gaying up the place.

Miss Tuesday is like: "Ughhh you guys are so disgustingly lovey dovey, it's so cringe."

Then Ed's gonna lift his head from a sleeping Jon's neck: "YOU were the one who suggested I need friends!"

Tuesday: "FRIENDS not A BOYFRIEND!"

Ed: "Egh potayto, potahto."

Jon, half-asleep, mumbling with a very rumbly voice: "mmh... so loud..."

Ed, speaking much quieter and softer: "I'm sorry, pumpkin🥺💕"

Then Ed smooches Jon back to sleep while Miss Tuesday makes a vomiting gesture and leaves the room.
