Nah, I dropped outta that scene months ago. Now I just bring in heroin from overseas, no costumes or bullshit. It's actually easier than you think, just label the shipments as "clown gas". There's so much of the stuff around that no one bothers looking at yet another shipment.

Pissy Bitch stan
last week i was stealing some microchips from the expensive microchip factory, and i walk out the side door JUST as batman flies up to the roof. i'm talking i had just enough time to see him see me and PCHEW he goes straight up and flips onto the roof like he does!
now i'm standing on the ground looking up like an rear end in a top hat with my mouth open when the bat looks over the ledge right at me!
so i take a breath expecting him to jump on me but...nothing. he just walks away!
so i unclench thinking maybe he's got better things to do, right? i take a single step off the curb CRASH: i hear that giant loving skylight they have in the lobby EXPLODE!
i'm still standin' there like an rear end in a top hat when those smoke grenades he throws all start going off! had to be a half dozen of them and now i'm ducking into the nearest alley to avoid the metal things he's throwing though the windows.
i get right about to the end of the alley when the bat lands right in front of me! just WHOOMP! i don't even have time to stop, just face first into his chest! get this: he doesn't loving MOVE! it's like hitting a brick loving wall!
so here's me, on my rear end with a box of stolen microchips, and there's batman just staring at me and a least one of us was about to poo poo themselves. i don't know how he got to me so fast: i can still hear glass falling!
anyway you know what i try?
i offered batman half.
i says "look, there's a lot of expensive microchips here, just let me go and you can have half."
you know what that prick says to me? "crime doesn't pay" and he lays me clean out with one hit. not even a closed fist. i wake up a half hour later tied to a loving light pole.

he may be right though. maybe i'll stop being a hench.
maybe i'll get me a job with wayne skylight and glass, those guys were on the job before i even woke up, can you imagine the overtime on a 3am job that size? i wonder if they have background checks?

Heya new guy, welcome to da Riddler's crew! Ya picked a great time to join up, great time. See, boss came into a buncha money recently, and he's investin' it all in big heists just ta screw wit' da Bat, and that means big paychecks for guys like you and me. He says he got it stealin' apes with a computer or somethin'. I don't know da particulars, but I guess don't let Grodd find out.

So what name did da boss give ya anyway? I'm called Wordle, over there's Rebus and Sudoku, then those two guys are both just called Ken. I don't really get it. So you're Matches, huh, I guess like those matchstick puzzles? Boss gave me one of those to do on my job interview. I couldn't really figure it out and I just got frustrated, and matches bein' what they are, I just set fire to da whole thing. A pile of ash equals a pile of ash, amirite? I thought I was done then, but da boss seemed to like it, laterial thinkin' he calls it. Now I got a cushy job callin' up da paper ta put clues in da classified ads and no haulin' no clown gas.

Our next job? Yeah, dat's gonna be great. Boss is gonna leave a bunch a clues around town for da Bat ta find, but it's all a trick, see? The answers are a buncha numbers dat da boss says are some kinda fibber nacho sequence? They lead to da adress of da place we're hittin', but da first letter of each clue spells out REVERSE, so da Bat's gotta figure out da numbers go backwards, geddit? But boss thinks da Bat's not gonna figure dat part out and we'll be able to stick up da jewelry store in peace while he'll be clear across town, haw haw haw!

Da address? Yeah it's 8532 11th Street. Boss is gonna go in da front wit' four guys, make a lotta noise and generally confuse people wit' riddles while we got a safecracker go in da back wit' two guards for him stationed under da gargoyle statues outside. Hey, thanks for takin' an interest and payin' attention, Matches. Wit' guys like you in our organization, we'll have it made.

With the labor shortage right now it's pretty nice to be able to just say "no" on occasion. Swear to God this Olympic athlete turned himself into a werewolf somehow and I left him high and dry against the bat because he refused to pay $15 an hour.

Right on. Never, ever accept any henching position that don't offer competitive compensation along with medical and dental. S'like they say, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” Don't matter what mask you're wearin' or what the big goal is, you gonna get punched in the mouth in this business. So you gotta plan for it.

All the more established outfits do it. Anyone serious 'bout startin' a new outfit should too. I ain' got no delusions of startin' my own spinoff brand, so I ain' workin' for no "exposure".

You all hear about the time penguin got jealous about being the only one who didn't have his own gas. He get's this really old scientist dude to make him up some "penguin" gas. Scientist dude was just about the sketchy gently caress you ever saw. Anyway he comes back with some canisters and penguin puts his label on em makes em look all Penguiny. Anyway he's with his crew on a late night bank job. Just going to gas the guard then crack the vault in piece. anyway just as were letting the gas one of the goons notices on the bottom of the gas canister it says Zyklon B. He mentions it to Penguin asking what it is. Penguin, who some how goes even whiter then his normal full white, says jobs off and storms off. Crew apparently never even got paid a dime for that one.

Anyway after that penguin never mentioned nothin bout "penguin gas" again. No one ever saw that old scientist dude again either. good fuckin riddance. Now penguin got himself some young 20 something science dude who's apparently way over his head in student loans repayments. Doesn't really talk to anyone, but seems nice enough.

I hear catwomen's gas just makes people who are allergic to cat's have an allergic reaction. Like why even?

So we was there on a catwalk holding our own against the bat. In a fist fight. The adrenaline was rushing, but I was giving as good as I was getting. And he wasn't taking any of us.

I don't know how I was keeping up, but if the boss took a shot with that big gun of his he'd probably be able to pop the bat.

You know that the fucker did? He blew up bombs holding the catwalk up, me and the boys drop two stories straight into the fracture ward and the last thing I see is the bat uses his grapple hook thingy to swing to the other catwalk.

Like what ever may, may not work. ya know when there just struggling a name, nomrally don't exactly have spare enough dimes layin' round to care. So cheap poo poo.

You get a wiff of that poo poo, that's cancer. like maybe ten years maybe twenty, but yeah cancer. And hell the none of that stuff works. Meant be "ticklish gas" or whatever, nah it makes you a bit light headed and maybe gives you headache gas, and then ten years later givin' ya cancer gas.

Good luck suing to afford treatments bout that. :(
