[unrenderedfuture]

The Master: *turned evil cause of some crazy long list of traumatic events and mental illness*

Goth: *turned Evil to become Lord President*

Magnus: *Borusa blackmailed his ass and he got kicked off the planet*

The Mad Monk: *smoked so many hot doinks in amish that he became Catholic and liked pranks*

And then there’s Borusa’s dumbass who became evil because he simped for Rassilon too hard and had shit he wanted to do.

Both the Rasputin film and the actual real life guy make me laugh. What was the logic there? Hey, this monk is filthy and completely insane. Let's have him heal sick people, what could possibly go wrong? 😂

Still, it's Christopher Lee so....

Detective Comics 31 (1939)

Okay, now this guy I’ve actually heard of, largely because Matt Wagner will later do one of the billion ‘Year One’ stories focusing around “the Mad Monk” and Hugo Strange. The combination of Casual Friday Klansman with spoooooky bones on his top is almost enough to make Hugo’s neckbeard look good, but you can’t fault that art. We’re really getting away from Batman as just a punchy detective in a weird costume and into him as a gothic, imposing figure. For comparison, here’s him in that first Detective Comics appearance.

It’s a little hard to tell, just by scanning this picture, whether Bats is the good guy or the man Texas Red there is working for.

We’re five issues into the saga--time to drop the bomb that Batman, The Dark Knight, The Caped Crusader, The Masked Manhunter, is engaged. Considering how he’s in for eighty years of being characterized as Forever Alone (whoop, showing my age there), this is hilarious to me. 

I’m real disappointed now that DC didn’t take advantage of one of their fourteen reboots to go “yeah, Batman is married. You remember, his fiance, Julie Madison? We set it up all the way back in Detective Comics 31!”

This is why you’ve got to put Batman being ‘the World’s Greatest Detective’ in perspective. Yeah, he’s a smart cookie, but this is what he’s dealing with. I’m just saying, in Gotham City, if you can imagine that a clown is evil instead of whimsical and joyous, you’re ahead of the curve.

I really hope Wagner made hay out of this, because imagine you’re Batman. You’ve fought jewel thieves, a Cossack, one guy with an acid tank--now, holy shit, they’ve got a trained ape they’re sending after you. Forget “the first time Batman drove the Batmobile!”, I want a story about Bruce Wayne going HOLY SHIT, I DID NOT KNOW THERE WOULD BE APES INVOLVED IN MY VOCATION.

the convoluted doctor who lore gets extra funny when you realize that, at two separate points in the past, two different companions to two different doctors ended up running into rasputin but both came to the conclusion that he was a pretty nice and normal guy. which, depending on how you interpret the power of the doctor, is either a nice subversion of a lot of tropes of stories used in pre-soviet russia, or side-splittingly hilarious as you start imagining the master getting roped into various adventures with different versions of the doctor that he can’t fuck with yet or else he’ll destroy the timeline, forcing him to play nice with the humans as part of his 4D Time Chess Master Disguise Plan #3852

#doctor who #rasputin #in case you’re wondering the companions were #ian chesterton #liz shaw #and #jo grant #who kept explicitly making references to the master throughout the story #but wait it gets better #at one point it was proposed to make a story with this one time lord called the meddling monk #who just decides to start fucking around with the timeline and forces rasputin to listen to boney m #but apparently this actually drives rasputin to the brink on insanity and destroys the entire timeline #forcing the monk to regenerate into rasputin to take his place and live out his life #and that’s why he decided to go by the monk #it was never technically canonized but could you imagine the mindfuck #you have a time lord impersonating another time lord impersonating a normal guy who may or may not have actually existed in the whoniverse #who even knows at this point #the untempered schism didn’t drive the master mad it was a funky disco beat #grigori rasputin #dhawan!master

Something I just realized after listening to Dak's Sake on Youtube:

We have literally every single supernova being used in the Timeskip:

EXCEPT for Urouge.

And given we're going to Elbaf where it's a land of literal giants and given that Urouge can literally make himself giant; what if we get his return in Elbaf??

October 2006. Jealous much, Selina? This scene from BATMAN AND THE MAD MONK #1 is set early in Batman's career, inserting into the "Year One"/LONG HALLOWEEN period a modern version of some of Batman's earliest published adventures (in this case DETECTIVE COMICS #31–32) — including Bruce Wayne's engagement to Julie Madison, the Chanel wearer to whom Catwoman alludes:

He's just so emotionally articulate.
