Uh, what's Gotham?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

My hometown.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Cool, cool.

I'm from New Innsmouth up on the coast, but I'm living with my buddy Frank in Newton City now. Super human capital of the world!

What kind of people they got in Gotham?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Gangs, lots of gangs. Crooked cops, Batman, all of us that Batman throws in Arkham. Lots of people!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

I think I ran into that Batman guy here, big dude, cowl... he was commenting on the fact I don't have a code name.

Honestly, I don't need some nickname to make me look more badass than I already am.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Eh, he goes around dressed like a giant bat. What does he know.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Bats ain't all that scary.

I'm a shark-god. That's pretty threatening.

Speaking of themes, what's with your whole clown thing?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Oh that's kinda 'cause of Mr. J. The Joker. He dresses up like a clown. They call him the Clown Prince of Crime sometimes.

Plus, my real name's Harleen Quinzel. But mix it up and you got Harley Quinn! Like a a harlequin, the clown!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I gotta admit I didn't really get Harlequinn... was that a famous clown or something?

And do any of you guys in Gotham got super powers?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Yup!

Superpowers?

Nah, that's for Superman and the losers in the Justice League to fight against. Batman has to deal with us.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Oh!

So you guys are enemies... but you wouldn't do anything THAT messed up to deserve going to prison, right?

Granted, some of my friends are mad scientists or petty thugs, but you seem really nice!

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Eh....well I was kinda a jerk.

.....And insane.

But I'm through with that stuff now. Got my papers and everything!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Hey, we all go through our rough patches.

Like that time I nearly demolished half the town to get back at my tormentors and all that.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah....

Besides. I've had it with bein' locked up all the time. Trust me, it's not fun.

[So far she's remembered how much of a jerk her "mr.J" was as well.]

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

One time, my class had to go to a scared straight program at The Universal Mind. A prison for super-villains.

Mostly those guys were saying how crime doesn't pay, especially if you manage to keep the money but have to use all of it paying medical bills after getting your ass kicked by the heroes.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

I was stuck in the asylum for my visits. Just as annoying. But at least we didn't have to pay medical fees.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

I'd bet.

I'm pretty lucky, with my full powers, I'm able to heal fast and grow teeth back...

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Really? That does sound useful.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah Ive been shot, blown up, and thrown through buildings but Im so tough it don't hurt at all!
