To Add On From What I’ve Heard •Getting Hatter-ed (Being Manipulated Or Controlled By Someone. “Dude

To add on from what I’ve heard •Getting hatter-ed (Being manipulated or controlled by someone. “Dude that chick has got you hatter-ed") •We’re going into the sewers (Doing something stupid) • What’s the gas? (What’s the problem. Because of our Asylum pals love for chemical weapons it can be hard to figure out toxin it is.) • Basil Karlo (Copycat- Basil Karlo is Clayface who is known for “Riddle me this”. I’ve also heard Jane Doe, which means the same thing, but not as popular. ) • Masked (Being shady or two-faced, sense the latter isn’t exactly the smartest thing to say) • You’re laughing (Another way of saying you’re crazy) • Throwing lightning bolts (Being overdramatic or exaggerating, inspired by Maxie Zeus)

Gotham Slang

Okay, so I’ve recently realized that us Gothamites have developed the world’s most bizarre vernacular and literally no one outside the city can understand half the stuff we say. As such, in an attempt to be helpful I’ve put together a few examples with translations and sometimes origins:

Riddle me this (do I need to explain this? when you want someone to explain something)

Flip a coin (not used the way other people use it - it serves as more of a abstract threat about getting mad eg. “Don’t make me flip a coin!”)

Pull a Harley (fall in love way too deeply way too quickly)

More [something] than scars (when there is a large amount of [something] - because have you ever looked at Zsasz?)

Like finding Alice (used when something’s hard to find - it’s the equivalent of the saying “Like finding a needle in a haystack”)

Get umbrella-ed (get murdered, usually specifically mob-related; named for that infamous incident when Penguin killed a dude with an umbrella)

Harvey dent aka Two face - Split personality disorder, abuse survivor, suicidal, can’t make decisions without his coin Kirk langstrom Aka Manbat - Addict, was working on a cure for deafness, has no control over himself Bane - Grew up in prison, Addict

This is why Batman keeps fighting them and putting them back in Arkham. If he didn't more than likely these individuals who need help won't get it. So I guess it's a good thing he's punching them in the face. Besides they do at times deserve to be punched in the face by a single man in a bat suit. (Surrounded by children)

List of People Batman Probably Shouldn’t Punch or Should at Least Feel Bad About Punching

Roman Sionis AKA Black Mask: Has a pacemaker for his heart condition.

Jonathan Crane AKA The Scarecrow: Underweight, abuse survivor, canonically hypermobile and thus suffers from chronic pain, hypotonic.

Waylon Jones AKA Killer Croc: Abuse survivor, condition causes chronic pain.

Jervis Tetch AKA The Mad Hatter: Small, possibly suffers from a hypoplastic condition.

Mary Dahl AKA Baby Doll: Suffers from a hypoplastic condition, literally the size of a small child.

Victor Fries AKA Mr. Freeze: Can’t survive outside his cryosuit, probably in his 50s.

Pamela Isley AKA Poison Ivy: Abuse survivor, skin is highly toxic, probably suffers chronic pain as a result of her condition.

Garfield Lynns AKA Firefly: Covered in burn scars, scar tissue likely causes chronic pain.

Oswald Cobblepot AKA The Penguin: Has a bad limp, physically incapable of fighting.

Edward Nygma AKA The Riddler: Abuse survivor, physically weak, canonically recalls every beating he’s ever gotten.

Jason Todd AKA Red Hood: Suffers from severe PTSD, literally Bruce’s kid.

Basil Karlo AKA Clayface: Can’t keep one shape for long, has chronic pain, probably not a good plan to punch mud.

Peter Merkel AKA Ragdoll: Hypermobile and definitely has chronic pain as a result.

Feel free to add anyone I missed.

"Thank you, you're too kind. In truth my skill set seems a tad limited, I mostly stay in the kitchen. He should have called me the cook."

Hare chuckled, Meister already appeared to be nice and easy company. It was quite clear to see why Tetch and him got along, shame he wasn't here yet.

"I'll go grab an assortment of teas for you to choose from, would you like any sweets to go with tea?"

Luckily March had learned long ago that with Tetch having water on boil at all times was a must.

@themarchinghare

“Jervis? Are you here?” Music Meister poked his head through the doorway, looking around before stepping into the Hatter’s latest hideout. Between composing and organising his next ‘performance’, the maestro had grown bored and decided to visit his acquaintance. However he didn’t seem to be around at present.

I'm sorry for just barging in, but you know what I think would be cool? Electrical engineer/ construction worker Catwoman. It would explain how she knows buildings so well and the security involved and it adds a few more layers to her character. (Sense we never really see her work) This random headcanon/idea just popped into my mind and I thought I would share thank you and have a frabjous day/night!

the very first thought i had when i read this was injustice catwoman, which is one of my absolute favorite outfit designs for her that adds an enormous amount of personality to her suit that’s never there in the bland latex cat suits and pure acrobatics she usually gets:

I'm Sorry For Just Barging In, But You Know What I Think Would Be Cool? Electrical Engineer/ Construction

and i think it would be a very, very good addition to her character to have a career like that and building her cat burglary get-up off of the skills she has through that, designing her own suit with functional equipment to help her get around, re-purposing things she already uses and knows how to handle well along with what might be her hobbies which probably include a lot of gymnastics and fighting skills to add onto that.

it would also give her a reason to know a lot of the same knowledge as other tech savvy rogues along WITH her excellent banter and people management skills (at least, that’s how i see her), which would put her pretty high up on the threatening powerhouse rogue list if she wanted to be up there. i would love a catwoman like this as part of the sirens!

Arkham Asylum and its medical practices p1

What practice:

Electrotherapy (ETC) is actually used to treat severe depression, sucidal thoughts/behaviors, bipolar (mania/depression), and schizophrenia (Catonia). This treatment is also sometimes used in Dementia and pregnancy. This is usually used when medication doesn't work, the patient has had ETC before, or the sufferer needs the effects immediately because they can pose a threat (to self or others) in the time it takes the medication to take effect. This is all done with consent of the patient and possibly family.

Usually the patient is given muscle relaxers and asleep (anesthetic) before hand. While they sleep the device is placed on their head and a controlled electric current is used producing a brief brain seizure. The patient usually doesn't remember the producer and is carefully monitored and is repeated three times a week.

Side effects: Temporary confusion, retrograde amnesia, temporary nausea, headache, muscle ache and medical complications.

(www.webmd.com, www.mayoclinic.org, www.mind.org.uk)

How Arkham Asylum is shown using it:

If you've seen/read whatever anything with Arkham Asylum or the inmates chances are this treatment has been show or referenced. This makes sense as ETC is still used today and I'd be lying if I said that none of the inmates need it. However personally I don't think it's shown/done correctly.

The staff apparently missed the part about the patients being asleep during the procedure as patients laughing (Joker) seem to be a common occurrence. Also how Sparks seem to fly while it's happening when that would probably kill or at least fry the brain. Another thing is how the patients are strapped down, something I didn't mention was that the Patient is LAYING DOWN not sitting in a freaking chair!

Arguably Arkham may not even ask the patients for consent (which kinda makes sense it'd be weird to just have a page of a comic having an inmate sign paperwork). Another thing is which rogues get the treatment I'm no doctor/psychologist/ therapist whatever so I can't say if a certain rogue needs it or not.

If I'm seeing this correctly then it makes a lot of sense so many inmates are not getting better and are always eager to escape. Hell I bet Bruce Wayne and Batman have quite a few things to say to the staff at Arkham.

To add:

Sadly whenever it's shown in the Batman universe it looks like it simply feeds into the public opinion of ETC which is a shame because even though it was horrific in the past it's helped so many people today.

At the end all I wanna add is PLEASE do research into this stuff creators you don't need to know everything about but a quick Google search reveals it's not that horrific, at least today! If y'all would like me to discuss another treatment in Arkham please let me know!
