Just some dudes that I think could or should play these characters.
From L to R:
John Hamm as Two Face: This is one Taylor would really like as well. Hamm is a good actor, and just has that likability for Dent, and the presence and Size for Two Face.
Mark A. Sheppard as The Penguin: Best known to me as Crowley on Supernatural. Perfect voice, personality, and size for Penguin.
Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor: This one really can't happen now, but it would be nice to see.
Steve Buscemi as Kirk Langstrum: Just the right look to him. A scrawny, odd looking guy who could easily play a man who turns into a bat.
Jenson Ackles as Jason Todd/Red Hood: This one has already happened, as Ackles voiced Todd in Under The Red Hood, but there is nothing really stoping Ackles from playing Todd in live action.
and my personal favorite...
Elton John as Music Maestro: Like I don't even care about this character, but I would if Elton John played it, oh boy. It's not out of the question either. John is appearing in Kingsman 2, which means he lay be up to more roles, and I think it would just be good fun to see they guy play him/
Other thoughts I've had that aren't pictured are Jared Padalecki as Nightwing, Willem Dafoe as The Joker, Jim Beaver as Harvey Bullock, Idris Elba as John Stewart, and Mads Mikkelsen as Black Mask/Roman Sionis.
What do you think? Do you agree with me? Who do you want to see play who?

Since I did a DCEU fancasting, I decided to do a fancast for the MCU for Phase 4, which is after Avengers 4 as well. Hopefully Stan Lee is having a cameo everywhere, as the Watcher informant guy.
Spider Man Homecoming 2 (2019): Second Spider-Man film, and potential Sinister Six set up. Most likely set after Avengers 4, and one particular MCU actor will assist the hero.
Spider-Man/Peter Parker: Tom Holland
May Parker: Marisa Tomei
Ned Leeds: Jacob Batalon
Michelle/MJ: Zendaya
Flash Thompson: Tony Revolori (as much as I didn't like him for this role, I think he'll do fine)
Jessica Drew: Diane Guerrero, Tatiana Maslany, or Gemma Arterton (I think she could still be an MI-6 agent, according to those plot rumors, and Spidey will help her)
Gwen Stacy: Stefanie Scott, (top pick), Elle Fanning, or Sierra McCormick.
Mysterio/Quentin Beck: Jake Gyllenhaal
Doctor Strange/Stephen Strange: Benedict Cumberbatch (he will act as Spidey's mentor and guide, so the Doctor has a supporting role. It will also continue their relationship established in Infinity War or maybe even on to future Avengers movies.)
Vulture/Adrian Toomes: Michael Keaton (small role)
Scorpion/Mac Gargan: Michael Mando (also has small role)
Shocker/Herman Schultz: Bokeem Woodine (small role)
Venom/Eddie Brock: Tom Hardy (cameo, if both Sonyās universe exists alongside the MCU)
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (2020): Gunn has confirmed this will be the last featuring the original Guardians since 2014, and we may even get a new team as well. I hope Moondragon is featured in this movie, which means Drax's origin/backstory is revealed, he is from Earth, and reunites with his daughter. At the end, the Guardians with disband and retire, keeping in touch when they need each other.
Star Lord/Peter Quill: Chris Pratt
Gamora: Zoe Saldana
Drax: Dave Bautista
Rocket Raccoon: Bradley Cooper
Groot: Vin Diesel and Sean Gunn (voice and motion capture)
Mantis: Pom Klementieff
Neblua: Karen Gillian
Kraglin: Sean Gunn
Him/Adam Warlock: Alexander Skarsgard
Ayesha: Elizabeth Debicki
Moondragon/Heather Douglas: Haley Lu Richardson
Bug: Johnny Knoxville (he will be humorous and can have chemistry with the cast)
Original Guardians: played by their respective actors, they should be returning for this movie
Meredith Quill: Laura Haddock (small role, cameo)
X-Men (2020): Complete reboot of the X-Men, team is already established.
Professor X: Mark Strong (Terry O'Quinn is a strong candidate for this one as well)
Cyclops/Scott Summers: Richard Madden, Garrett Hedlund or Matt Bomer
Marvel Girl/Jean Grey: Mary Elizabeth Winstead or Kate Mara
Iceman/Bobby Drake: Max Thieriot, Dave Franco or Dacre Montgomery
Angel/Warren Worthington III: Alex Pettyfer
Beast/Hank McCoy: Kit Harrington
Wolverine/Logan/James Howlett: Joel Edgerton (can't pick Tom Hardy as he's Venom already, though him being Wolvie is my favourite choice)
Storm/Ororo Munro: Nicole Beharie
Colossus/Piotr Rasputin: Alan Ritchson (voice and motion capture)
Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde: Lily Collins
Nightcrawler/Kurt Wagner: Liam Aiken
Rogue/Anna Marie: Alexandra Daddario
Magneto/Erik Lensherr: Viggo Mortensen
Sabretooth/Victor Creed: Liev Schreiber (deserves another shot)
Toad/Mortimer Toynbee: Robert Sheehan
Mystique/Raven Darkholme: Summer Glau (through makeup)
Pyro/John Allerdyce: Liam Mcintyre
Avalanche/Dominikos Petrakis: Chris Diamantopoulos
Fantastic Four (2021):
Mr Fantastic/Reed Richards: John Krasinski
Invisible Woman/Susan Storm: Emily Blunt
The Human Torch/Johnny Storm: Sam Claflin
The Thing/Ben Grimm: Either David Harbour or Rob Kazinsky
Doctor Doom/Victor von Doom: Rufus Sewell (as much as I like Mads Mikkelsen for the role, he's played Kaecillius, so maybe not)
Willie Lumpkin: Stan Lee (cameo)
Avengers 5 (2021): Maybe Secret Invasion happens here instead, with a new roster and team that will carry on for more movies.
Captain America/Bucky Barnes: Sebastian Stan (main leader
Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers: Brie Larson (acting as co-leader with the new cap)
Ronin/Hawkeye/Clint Barton: Jeremy Renner (acts as a bridge between the original and new Avengers, helps train the new team)
Hulk/Bruce Banner (along with Clint, he could remain on the team. Banner could retire after this movie, as Ruffalo had a six movie contract with Marvel.)
War Machine/James Rhodes: War Machine (he will help train the new Avengers, maybe military discipline, and oversees the Avengers facility after Tony hands him the key
Doctor Strange/Stephen Strange: Benedict Cumberbatch
Falcon/Sam Wilson: Anthony Mackie (won't be Capt America for this)
Black Panther/T'Challa: Chadwick Boseman (Boseman could hang around for a while, so he could be in this movie.)
Spider-Man/Peter Parker: Tom Holland
Ant-Man/Scott Lang: Paul Rudd
The Wasp/Hope van Dyne: Evangeline Lily
Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff: Elizabeth Olsen
Quicksilver/Pietro Maximoff: Aaron Taylor-Johnson (relatively new, he should stay for more movies and get a new suit.)
Vision: Paul Bettany (assuming if he does return)
Villain: Either the Skrulls, Kang, Count Nefaria, or Korvac. I can't even think of an actor right for this
The Joker-Macaulay Culkin
Edward Nygma/The Riddler-Nicholas Holt
Oswald Cobblepott/The Penguin- Timothy Spall
Selina Kyle/Catwoman Alexandra Daddario
Oh ho ho, people aren't gonna like this, but I love it so too bad.

====Arkham Asylum====
*Five years ago, the skies were filled with the reanimated corpses of the dead. As superhero and supervillain alike fought against them, opportunists- common with every Crisis, fled from their cells. One such case was Ted Carson. The one time successor to Garfield Lynns, Carson went by Firefly, and in a few short minutes, he too would perish, joining the Lanterns in the sky, killed not by the zombies or psychopaths all around, no, in ten minutes, Ted Carson would die in a car accident, the victim of a distracted driver. An ordinary death, for an ordinary man. But as he ran down those endless halls, avoiding The King of Cats' advances and Zodiac Master pleading for dating advice, he failed to notice the flash of light behind him, and following that- a man. Chronos. Out of time, and on a mission.*
Zodiac- Come back here I said! Please, five minutes is all I need! ... Was it the fan casts? Don't say it was the fan casts.
*It was the fancasts. Carson didn't have time to listen why Tommy Wiseau was ideal for a Freeze biopic, nor listen to Zodiac's desperate pleas for Magpie to love him, he had to get out of here. All those Arkham breakouts and not once had he ever been this close- He'd been thrown off a balcony when Bane attacked, been buried in debris during the earthquake and all the other times he had been simply forgotten. But this time he had a good feeling, he was scott free as far as he knew. Save for Music Meister, singing softly to himself, there was no one in his way*
Meister- If I could turn back time... If I could find a way, I'd kill all those who hurt me, yeah I'd slay...
*Meister notices Carson at the door and they exchange eye contact for a bit until at last he winks. Carson continues on his way, though rather confused, and Meister continues his singing, his gaze turned Chronos*
Meister- If I could turn back time, if I could find a way, I'd track down those that locked me here... If I got through these bars, I'd kill all of you, then the blood'd spill and spill, because I want it to... If I could turn back time, if I could find a way... just maybe, maybe, maybe they'd pay... If I got through these bars...
*Carson had made it. He could see in the distance the city on fire and he couldn't help but appreciate it. Alone, he let out a relieved chuckle, not aware of the rumble of a nearby car*
Miranda- Watch the road Drury
Drury- Just a jiffy Tiger Lily, hmm, on every channel...
*And then- Bang. Carson neither noticed nor cared enough to investigate. The city may be on fire, the dead may be rising from their graves, but that didn't matter to him, all that mattered was his freedom*
Carson- Free at last! Gotham will pay for ever forgetting me: Ted Carson! Ha!
*At the other end of that road- silence, save for the crackle of flames, and the cries of a very broken man*
Meister- If I could turn back time...
=====Now=====
*The gun felt wrong in his hand. It always did, even when he was shooting at the bad guys, even when it was on stun. Why was it, then, that for a moment, for the briefest of moments, he had wanted to pull the trigger. He could hear the faint voice of someone... his boss? (Since when had he had a boss?) spouting some curious fish metaphor to the would-be recipient of his gun.*
???- It's like they say- there's always a bigger fish, isn't there?
*Bound and on his knees, the captive before them shouted a number of expletives at him, the gunman, and his boss (that still felt weird). The red bandana wrapped around the top of the captive's head cleared the fog from Simon's mind enough that he realized he was about to kill his own grandfather.
Gaige- Come on then you fucking coward. Do it already!
*This should have surprised him more, but the half-hour long rant he'd unleashed upon Simon introducing Emi was deeply embedded in the lad's memory.
Emi... She was going to be so upset with him. He always got into trouble when she wasn't around, and this might just be his biggest screw-up yet.
Just before he moved to untie Grandpa Gaige, that voice, that layered voice, one that at first sounded pleasant, jovial, but was truly filled with malice and malevolence was heard from behind him*
???- Simon? Hell-o? I distinctly remember telling you to pull that trigger. We *are* on a bit of a tight schedule.
*Simon knew that voice from a lifetime ago: the Great White Shark. Why the hell was he here? It had been years since they last met, and Simon had thought, or moreso hoped, that Warren was unaware of his resurrection
"Sorry, sir," he said in part to stall, but the cold, calculating voice that emerged when he spoke...it scared him.*
White- And that's all well and good, but what are you waiting for? Need I remind you of the money I've paid you? Is this you asking for a raise because, heheh, let me tell you, I am not amused.
*And neither was Simon. This couldn't be right, he couldn't be working with the Shark. He made all his choices in that moment. Switching the gun to stun, he whirled and fired at the two thugs who flanked Warren,
White- What the *hell* are you-?!
*In one punch, the Shark fell to the ground. That wasn't right either. He was never that good, nowhere close. He continued to frighten himself.*
Gaige- Hope you weren't looking for a thank you.
*His job done, Simon holstered the lightning gun and turned around to answer, to make sense of all this, only to find that Gaige was gone, the window broken. It didn't take much to figure out what had happened, not when there was a shred of fine silk caught on the shards. And yet why? Simon had saved him, and they were family. He wondered if he was still angry about Emi. Ask Sionis or Nightwing, Gaige always did hold a-
Emi. She'd know what to do! Simon grabbed his phone from his belt, at least *that* hadn't changed, and yet- he almost dropped it upon seeing his reflection. He was wearing the original suit. The one he had changed after his... rebirth, the one that, in his mind, was his "villain" suit.
He'd have to worry about that later. He unlocked his phone, scrolled through his contacts, many of which he didn't recognise, and some he surprisingly did (what was Riddler doing in his contacts?), finding himself appalled at the startling lack of Emiko. No matter, he had it memorised. He made sure each digit was correct, then called. Nothing. No answer. Didn't even ring.*
Simon- Bugger.
=====
*It was going to be one of those days. He hadn't *meant* to kill that green grocer, it just sorta happened. That wouldn't make any difference to *them* though, he thought- those high and mighty- The sound of an arrow, the sharp kind, flying through the air broke his concentration. Super. Gotta keep running, god he missed the wings, they certainly made things easier... and the gun, he absolutely missed that malfunctioning piece of hardware... but most of all, he missed them- Oh, and his footing, he missed his-*
Drury- Bollocks.
*Either he was upside down, or the world was, neither option was preferable. And of course there they were, the heroes of the hour, he knew he would have beat them if Vertigo would just answer his calls... he should never have spammed the group chat, now only Red Dart answered and she creeped him out, not to mention she aped his style-*
*Drury looked up, well, down, to see them- the Green and Red Arrows, bows drawn. The red one, a girl smiles at him mockingly, putting on a ridiculously deep voice*
Red Arrow- Drury Walker. You have failed this city.
Drury- Yeah, yeah. Very witty "Funsize"
*Red Arrow lowers her bow for a second then turns to her companion*
..
Red Arrow- Can I shoot him?
*The emerald archer looks as though he's going to go into a long tangent about morality, but quickly stops himself*
Green Arrow- Oh you meant with-? Yeah, what the hell, we still have time... Nothing below the belt though.
*Red Arrow smirks, retrieving an all too familiar boxing gloved arrow from her quiver*
Red Arrow- Aw, you can be a real buzzkill sometimes...
*And so, for the second time that day, Drury mumbled "bollocks" to himself*

Scott Speedman as Barry Allen/The Flash I
George Clooney as Jay Garrick/The Flash of earth 2
Given that thereās only Aquaman and Shazam being release this and next year, hereās what I think the fancast could be like for the other DC movies in development. Some cast members will remain the same and will reprise their roles from previous DC movies.
The Batman (2019): According to Reeves, heāll tackle on a detective, neo noir tale, a mystery superhero film. This movie, in my mind, will be set after Justice League, and hopefully, kickstart a Batman trilogy.

Tomar-Re: Peter Capaldi (voice and motion capture)
Katma Tui: Naomi Scott

The Flash (2021): Flashpoint is off, hereās what I think could happen for the Flash movie.
The Flash/Barry Allen: Ezra Miller
Henry Allen: Billy Crudup
Iris West: Kiersey Clemons
Reverse Flash/Eobard Thawne: Matthew Mcconaughey
Captain Cold/Leonard Snart: Paul Wesley
Mirror Master/Sam Scudder: Jamie Bell
Man of Steel 2 (2021): Sequel to Man of Steel, second of a trilogy for Superman. I believe Matthew Vaughn will be a good director for this movie.

Christmas Eve, long ago:
A young man lies comatose in a hospital bed. A grieving daughter wonders why her father disappeared. A violent vigilante stabs his way through the underworld, seeking justice for his family.
A mercenary sits beside his client on a snow-covered rooftop as he rethinks his life choices and choice of company. A speedster from the future seeks to prolong his life. An ambitious mobster with plans above his station shifts pallets for his skull-faced employer.
A lowly outcast spends his day trapped behind a cash register, wishing for a break from the monotony of his life. A clown sings carols in a padded cell. A bowman receives an earth-shattering diagnosis. Inoperable, they say.
A wounded veteran spends another Christmas in prison, a victim of a senseless war, cast aside by the government once he had served his supposed purpose.
Robbed of his childhood, an inhuman drone stays locked in a stasis chamber by his masters, released only to carry out their bidding, or to be subjected to another experiment. He has no say in the matter.
A nineteen-year-old boy is scolded by his mother, for daring to wear the yellow and purple costume he'd found listed online. It had reminded him of his father, though he'd never met the man.
Across the world, a secret society grows in number every day. An ancient order consolidates its power. A disgraced gangster seeks to repair his tattered reputation. A monstrous demon whispers poison into the ears of the forgotten and the easily swayed.
But for Drury Walker, none of that matters. Not yet.
==ISA Headquarters==
Winter winds howled outside the old Waterworks building, pelting the windows with thick clumps of snow. Safe and warm inside, Doctor Shiro Ito prepared a batch of Hot Chocolate for his daughter and himself. Beside him, an aged gramophone from his youth played Darlene Loveās āBaby, please come home.ā The comforting melody was interrupted by the abrupt entrance of one of his old colleagues; a man in his sixties, dressed in a torn burgundy suit jacket and a battered orange moth mask. He was incensed, bloody and limping.
"Clifford, I was not expecting you at this hour,ā Ito cooed, a slight irritation in his tone.
āClifford,ā still mid-rant, ignored the Doctorās questions. "I need some new helmets. That fucking-"
"Clifford,ā Ito warned.
"That FUCKING Martian!" Cliff kicked the cupboard nearest to him.
"Clifford, you are agitated. It is most disquieting. Please, let me prepare you a hot cocoa. The milk has just finished frothing. You like it with cinnamon, correct?" Ito directed him to the kitchen table.
"Aye, and half a bottle of scotch. GodDAMMIT! He was waiting for me, Shiro! Waiting! With his slimy green skin, and demon eyes! No offense,ā he tacked on an insincere apology.
"None taken, I am aware you have reservations about my processes of self-improvement. Your cocoa,ā Ito declared, carefully placing the steaming drink down.
"Tah,ā Cliff nodded, chugging it down in one, messy gulp.
"There are other solutions to your predicament,ā Ito observed.
"Yeah, a fucking flamethrower,ā Cliff laughed coldly, wiping his upper lip with his sleeve. āI tried buttering up that Firefly freak, dead end that. Wants nothing to do with me. Drury's burning bridges, with me on āem... Ungrateful brat."
"Your boy, yes,ā Ito recalled the name. āI understand he was betrothed to the Tiger Shark's daughter."
"Married in the summer. Not like I was invited. You got a kid, right, Shiro?"
"I prefer Doctor Ito, Clifford,ā Ito replied plainly. Cliff Walker was the last person he wished to discuss Cynthia with.
"Yeah, and if I had a fancy college education, I would probably wave my doctorate around too,ā Cliff scoffed derisively. āWhich one did you go to again?"
Itoās amber eyes gleamed beneath his hood. "Hiroshima. However, that is not what I had in mind. I believe your entanglement with the Martian requires a more... delicate approach. Jordan would be appalled had he known I suggested it, but-"
"No,ā Cliff said curtly.
"He is utterly obedient, I assure you,ā Ito promised.
"Like a dog," Walker spat. "I said no, Dragon King. You can keep your 'Killer Wasp,' I'll do this my way."
"The ISA means more than the mere egos of the individual, Clifford."
"There you go again. There IS no ISA, Shiro! Not anymore! Wasp's gone, and left his bastard behind. Mahkent and the Crocks jumped ship, enlisted with Luthor's crew. Who's left? Shade? Comes and goes as he pleases. Gambler? With one grandkid in Blackgate and the other in a coma?"
"Jordan will return," Ito said with complete, albeit misplaced, faith.
"Hell'll freeze over first."
==Gotham Airport==
A woman was wheeling her luggage through the bustling halls of Gotham Airportās departure gate, a phone propped between her head and shoulder. "Sorry, sweetheart, you know that this conference is important-"
"I just thought, with Dad gone-" the disappointed voice of her daughter on the other end sighed.
"I know, darling. But that's exactly why I need to be in Coast City. With your father gone, Pike Munitions needs someone to take charge. The Shareholders want to know what our game plan is. If you need anything, you know your uncle Jacob is across the road."
"I know."
...
āMrs Pike, youāre Gate A,ā the woman at the gate nodded.
"Thank you. Listen, I'm going through the gate now, I'll let you know when I land, ok? I love you, Bridget."
"I love you too, mom."
~-~
Across the city, in Gothamās suburbs, a dastardly and dysfunctional duo sat on a rooftop. The leader was dressed like a cross between Saint Nick and a rejected Chippendale dancer; the other man was dressed in a spotted, white uniform, with a bright red belt around his waist and a plate of cookies in his lap. He was chewing obnoxiously loudly, in an attempt to drown out his employerās unprompted monologue:
"-And then, I'll slide down the chimney and give Magpie the bestest, magicalist, tingliest Christmas gift of all! Me, in a Slutty Santa outfit! And a loaded shotgun to take care of that Magnet Prick,ā the Zodiac Master finished with a devious smile.
"I literally could not give a single iota of shit about any of this," Krill replied, washing down the cookies with a pint of beer heād summoned through a turquoise portal.
"Yeah, well, I wouldn't expect you to understand true love unless it's injectable, ingestible or snortable!ā Zodiac sneered.
"Ha," Krill said dryly. "Your fly's undone."
Zodiac looked down at his crotch and his cheeks reddened. "Uh, duh. It's a Slutty Santa outfit," he countered, failing to convince his associate.
"I don't think it is. I think you bought a normal Santa outfit, realised it was too small, but by that point, you'd already eaten the receipt. Oh, and now, you're having to defend yourself to a man covered in polka dots, on the roof of your stalkee's house, wondering why you didn't just update your Tinder page."
"It was $50! And- And DeFarge ate the receipt."
"Uhuh."
"Sorry, I'm sensing a lot of unnecessary hostility. Did I do something to you?" Zodiacās eyes narrowed suspiciously.
"Hit me with an SUV,ā Krill muttered, pretending to look at the sky rather than give Zodiac more attention than was necessary.
"Oh, was that you? Funny thing about a hit and run; When you run, you don't really have time to see who you hit,ā Zodiac lied even more blatantly than usual. And then, rather than face Krillās potential wrath, he took the plunge, and dropped himself down the chimney. And immediately howled with all the anguish of a Hanna Barbera cat.
"Oh, and you should've made sure the fire was out before you jumped,ā Krill shrugged, refusing to move from his seat to help.
For the next few minutes, all Krill could hear was Zodiac's yelps of pain, the sounds of his fingernails attempting to claw their way back up the chimney and the barking of the Wist-Pye dogs. They were pitbulls.
With a brief twang of pity (either the result of holiday cheer or the alcohol), Krill stuck his head down the chimney and called out to Zodiac. "You know, you could always try the front doo- Oh, forget it,ā he tutted, before vanishing through a magenta vortex.
~-~
Singed, chewed and crabby, Zodiac walked down the street. Remarkably, Wist had not given chase. Whether he had decided Zodiac was not worth his time or had slept through the whole thing was anyoneās guess. For Zodiac, it had meant his supposed nemesis wasnāt man enough to face him. He reached into his pocket and, with great reluctance, dialled a number into his mobile. "Yeah, Norbet. Can you come get me?"
He was met with a squeal on the other end not dissimilar to a boiling kettle.
"Norbet, I can hear your hyper ventilation,ā Zodiac groaned, already regretting his decision.
"Oh-boy-oh-boy-oh-boy, Team Planetarium is really happening!" Irving Norbet screamed joyfully.
"That is not the name, you pillock. We're called Cream Pye,ā Zodiac corrected him.
"I didn't vote for that!" Norbet protested.
"Well, I did and I'm the deciding vote. Call me Simon Cowl, 'cause I'm masked and I'm mean,ā Zodiac smiled smugly.
"Do you still want me to com-"
"OF COURSE, I STILL WANT YOU TO COME GET ME!ā
~-~
Zodiac was sitting on the curb when Norbet finally arrived in a sleek black Lexus. Zodiac had to assume he stole it. Rather that, than admit āThe Planet Masterāsā success could outmatch his own.
"How'd you know I was here?ā Zodiac queried, as Norbet exited the vehicle. āYou some kind of 5Genius now?ā
Norbet gave him a blank look. Zodiac started to contest him, but realising he had no rebuttal, silently clambered into the passenger seat.
"You should come to my place for Christmas!" Norbet suggested enthusiastically as he took the wheel. "Looks like you could do with a change of clothes anyway!" he added, noting the large hole on Zodiacās rear that had been torn out by Wistās hounds.
"No, thank you!" Zodiac sneered. "I have big plans! Big! I'm going to catch some Pokey-Mon, draft up some fancastings, report all of Magnetās Facebook posts for Hate Speech and send a dozen letters to Lionsgate demanding they release the Schneider cut of Norm of the North!ā
Norbetās brow furrowed. "But⦠how's that different from any other day?"
...
"Never mind. So, what happened between you and Polky anyhow? I thought you said you guys were close."
āWhat, the Polka Snot Man?ā Zodiac folded his arms. "Hah! Fired him. Good for nothing loser⦠Told him what's-what, I did."
"Boy! Wish I got to see that!" Norbet gave an awe-filled chuckle.
"Yeah... Wish I got to do it,ā Zodiac muttered longingly.
"What?"
"Nothing. Didnāt say anything. You're schizophrenic. Fuck you."
===Gotham General===
Thomas Blake entered the ward, a wrapped parcel under his arm. Heād been told the boy was still unresponsive. That didnāt matter. He shouldnāt be alone today. Not at Christmas.
"Sorry, I ain't been around much, kid. Problem with the Six, is that they tend to be pretty secretive. Mockingbird has us moving around a lot... But, hey, got you something!ā he smiled, as he waved the wrapped present in the boyās face. Nothing. So, he placed the parcel on the table beside him.
āI see the scarās cleared up alright,ā Blake noticed, running his finger across the pale mark on the boyās forehead where the bullet had entered his skull.
He sat back down and scratched the back of his head. āSo, what's new...
Oh, oh! Killer got married! Blonde girl. Tiger Moth, she's called, huge coincidence, y'know? And she is hot. Y'know how I feel about tiger print, but for real, wowzer! And, yeah, the ceremony was great too, I guess. Metropolis made a nice change. I mean, some nobody got shot in the head by the Joker, but that's nothing outta the ordinary.ā
He paused. Perhaps head trauma wasnāt the best topic.
āUh... Right. Right. Your replacement! Killer, in his infinite wisdom, called up this Lightning Douche, another bug guy, classic case of discrimination... And... Cutting a long and bloody story short, he got blasted in the face by Red Hood.ā
Perhaps he should move on entirely.
āDid I tell you Gar got crisped up? Must've mentioned that... He looks gross, man. Like someone tried to make John Malkovitch, from memory, outta bacon and chewing gum.
Morty's in the wind. Guess all that expensive booze and zero tax payments finally caught up to him. Thank god he did those acting classes, because boy, he's gonna need 'em.
Get well soon. I tried getting the nurse to slip some eggnog into your IV, but they said that could literally kill you. Tried telling them about the luck thing, but y'know these medical types and their hypocritical oaths.ā
Blake sighed. "Miss you, kid. GB the PP.ā
~-~
āLetās see what your friend got you, Monty!ā the nurse spoke to the boy, as she unwrapped the parcel on his behalf. āOoh, would you look at that, itās a baseball bat. Isnāt that lovely? I didnāt know you liked baseball, Monty,ā the nurse said, presenting him with a hand carved, red and white baseball bat, adorned with card suits.
Trapped in an unresponsive body, Montgomery Sharpeās heart softened.
===Wayne Manor===
A uncharacteristically unkempt Bruce Wayne entered the dining room, carrying an enormous turkey on a large platter. His sleeves were rolled up, his hair was tangled, and the beginnings of a five Oāclock shadow was starting to form on his face. He placed the enormous bird down on the dining table, and took a proud step back, to take in his familyās hungry faces. Tim and Alfred gave him a polite round of applause. Damianās nose wrinkled.
"I notice that your no-kill rule doesn't extend to animals, father,ā the youngest tutted.
āI notice your no-kill rule doesn't extend to people, Damian,ā Tim bit back.
ā*Tt. *That Spook was a mere imposter,ā Damian scoffed.
āBut a real person!ā
āThat's enough, It's Christmas,ā Bruce intervened, invoking the āYuletide Cardā to block further bickering.
āI didn't expect you would be the sort to entertain this trivial nonsense, father,ā Damian voiced his disapproval.
āAnd, it's the one day a year I can bring the family together and not talk ābusiness,āā Bruce concluded.
āNor, did I take you to be a sentimental sap. Mother would never have indulged me with this kind of commercial tripe.ā
"And that's a real shame. A lump of coal could've done you some good!ā Jason smirked.
"Yes, Todd. Then, I would have had something to throw at you."
"Besides, I have it on good authority that Walker and his gang are having a party this evening, so we can count them out of the action."
"He sent you an invite, didn't he?" Dick pried.
"He... sent me an invitation, yes."
āFood, please,ā Cass pointed at the turkey, salivating.
āRight, yes,ā Bruce nodded, as he took a knife to the bird and began to carve.
āWhatās the matter, Alf? You got the flu?ā Jason asked, wondering why he was not serving them Christmas dinner as was tradition.
"Not at all, Master Bruce was rather insistent that he would do all the cooking this year,ā Alfred smiled.
āAlfred does the cooking every other day of the year,ā Bruce explained. āIt was time I stepped in for once,ā he smiled, as he handed Alfred a plate of turkey, gravy, carrots, stuffing and parsnips.
Alfred smiled back gratefully, and cut a thin slice of turkey, putting it into his mouth. He didn't swallow.
The colour drained from Bruceās already pale face āWhatās wrong?ā
Alfred paused. āItās delicious, Bruce. Truly.ā
ā¦
āHowever, all those years travelling the world, seeking out the best teachers... You couldnāt find a single chef worth their Michelin stars?"
"I had other priorities-"
...
Bruce sighed. "I'll... order some Pizza."
===Van Cleer Manor===
Drury had been coy all morning about Mirandaās Christmas present. After being woken up by Kitten jumping on their bed at 6:30, they relented, and gave her permission to open her presents, while they went back to bed, lying in until 11:00. At 11:15, Miranda gave Drury his presents (among which included a pair of moth-shaped cufflinks and a set of four pairs of underwear) while Drury gave her a pair of moth-shaped stud earrings, assuring her thereād be more to follow. At 14:00, Gaige arrived for lunch. His assistant, Mr Incognito, ate his lunch at the kitchen island beside the dining table (the Walkers had not prepared a seat for him, assuming Gaige would come alone). Axel excused himself early to go visit the Rogues in Keystone. After lunch, Drury finally invited Miranda and Gaige downstairs to a large tarp, covering a vehicle of some kind. He gripped the fabric and with a magicianās flourish, unveiled his masterpiece.
"Tah Dah! It's your very own Tiger Mothmobile!"
Miranda was gobsmacked. The elongated automobile had been desecrated with large solar panels in lieu of wings, missile launchers and splattered with orange and black paint.
"Hn. Looks like a circumcised bumblebee," Gaige observed, as he slurped his eggnog.
"Judging by your stunned silence, I take it you love it?" Drury beamed proudly, wrapping his arm around Mirandaās back.
"Drury⦠how much did this cost you?" Miranda spoke cautiously, not wanting to hurt his feelings.
"You can't put a price on love!"
"You can, it's 50 bucks an hour and it's called prostitution."
Miranda glared at her father reproachfully.
"My man Gearhead did most of the fine tuning. Difficult getting him in here though, 'cause he's part tank,ā Drury chuckled. As he placed a gentle hand on the mudguard, the entire car rattled.
"Gearhead? Where'd you find him? 1997?" Miranda raised an eyebrow.
Gaige stepped forward, thoroughly amused. "Walker, you didn't get me a Sharkmobile did you?"
Oblivious to his teasing, Drury smiled back. "Why would I, when you have a-"
"You didn't,ā Gaige interrupted, his smile vanishing immediately.
"-perfectly good private yach- ulp."
"You epileptic bulb-licker! I'll keel haul your ass!" Gaige roared, lifting Drury up by his shirt collar.
āDad!ā Miranda gasped.
"You can't!" Drury croaked between strained breaths.
"And why the fuck not?" Gaige inquired, his grip loosening.
"I scrubbed off all the barnacles!" Drury replied, expecting a word of gratitude in return. Instead:
āTHOSE WERE FUNCTIONAL!ā Gaige roared even loader than before, shaking Drury violently.
"Daddy, put him down! You put him down right now!ā Miranda warned.
Gaige glared at Drury's exposed waistband, his eyes transfixed by the brand. "Really? Wiseau?"
"They're comfy! Miranda got em for me!ā
~-~
Hours passed, and the Mothcave was transformed into a Winter Wonderland. Fairy lights were draped along the top of his Mothcomputer, baubles hung from the roof, and polystyrene Snowman were erected around the room. A tiki bar had been painted white and gold and was stocked with My Alibiās finest booze. Len Fiasco had kindly (although reluctantly) stepped in to run in it on Druryās behalf. As guests began to arrive, Drury stood at his wifeās side, carefully watching her face as she stared at the Tiger Mothmobile, once again submerged by itsā tarpaulin coverings.
"You don't like it,ā he groaned. āDamn it, I knew I shoulda sprung for a Tiger Mothcopter, I'm an idiot!"
"No, not at all! Just... Let's just set a price limit for next year, ok, Killer?" Miranda gripped his arm supportedly.
Drury nodded reluctantly. "Yeah, ok," he agreed, his face brightening. "Hey, wanna see what Chuck got me?"
"Sure," Miranda smiled as Drury scampered off to the other side of the room.
"It's an egg chair!ā Drury cackled delightedly, sitting in the middle of his thatched throne. āY'know, like the one I saw in Macy's? Spin me, Gar!" he commanded his sullen partner-in-crime.
Gar flicked his lighter shut. "I'm not... I'm not doing that."
~-~
Now, the party was in full swing. Joey, was asleep on the sofa. Beside him, Chuck and Julian admired the decorations.
āDruryās outdone himself,ā Chuck smiled, awestruck by the makeover of what was a rather wet and smelly cave.
āYes, I suppose it is rather homely,ā Julian nodded respectfully, sipping his cola. āQuite the turnaround.ā
āMind you, could do with some mistletoe,ā Chuck smirked.
āAllow me,ā a voice spoke, as a pale woman with greenish skin and vibrant red hair stepped in-between the pair. She raised her hand and the potted plant on the shelf beside them grew out a vine filled with beautiful off-white berries.
āIf youāll excuse me,ā Julian murmured quietly as he brushed past Ivy.
āWell, as far as party tricks go, I think you win,ā Chuck grinned, brushing his finger against the leaves.
Ivy wasnāt so sure. "Humans and their disregard for self-preservation when faced with pretty flowers...ā she tutted. āMistletoe is poisonous, you know,ā she scolded him.
āI know, but we only have one life. If it means a kiss from you, Iām willing to take that chance,ā Chuck smiled.
Taking advantage of the now unguarded and flourishing mistletoe, Dekker took Len by surprise and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"The rest comes later, Leonard, come find me!" he cooed, singing a merrier version of Deck the Halls as he swaggered away:
"Dekk the halls with lots of Molly
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Light it up, and you'll be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Snow from Snowflame, weed from Woodrue, fa-la-la la-la-la la-la-la"
Len reached into his breast pocket and unearthed a white handkerchief to erase the offending, slobbery evidence from his cheek. "They will never find your body," he murmured to himself.
Nearby, Drury was carrying drinks for him and the missus when Ned Creegan tapped him on the shoulder. "Drury, where'd that cyanosic coat check guy go?" the man asked.
Druryās brow furrowed. "Coat check? We didn't have a coat chec- Ohhh, Electro... Sorry, your coat is loooong gone. He must've been shrinking 'em to put them in that dollhouse of his."
Creegan paused. "My wallet was in that coat."
Meanwhile, the Gaiges watched the party from afar, leaning against the walls of the bunker. The elder Gaige was on the phone, awaiting the status of his yacht since Walker generously ārenovatedā it. "Give it to me straight, Warren. How bad is it?" Gaige inquired.
āWell, you ever see The Sopranos?ā
āNo.ā
"Well, it's like Adriana La Cerva fucked the Stugots."
Hot air escaped the good doctorās nose. He stirred his drink slowly with a cocktail shrimp, watching as his daughterās face glowed with appreciation for her husband. "So. Knickers,ā he began, bringing the topic back to Walkerās briefs.
Miranda sipped her beer. "They're boxers."
"Uhuh. Didn't take my daughter for a cheapskate, that's all."
"Well, I didn't know that he'd make me a car, did I?" Miranda raised her arms in the air.
"A car," Gaige repeatedly incredulously.
She rolled her eyes. "Don't start-"
"More like Thomas the Wank Engine."
"Don't -!" Miranda snorted. "He really does like you, you know."
"Oh, I know. It's pretty fucking insufferable."
...
"Knickers... Suppose he did need a new pair... I saw he had a hole in his trunks the other day. He bent over to tie his laces and... christ. Like a moth emerging from a cocoon."
"Aha."
"A tiny moth. A deformed moth. A shrivelled, half dead moth that doesn't deserve my daughter-"
"Merry Christmas, Dad,ā she beamed at him.
A warm smile crept up Gaigeās face. "Merry Christmas, sweetheart."
===After the Royal===
Gaige unlocked the gate to the boathouse and pulled back the shutters. Inside, stood an enormous, rusted, and very orange yacht. There was a shuffling behind him, as Otis Flannegan entered the room, his arms laden with paint products. āGot the stuff,ā he nodded, as he dropped the contents onto the floor.
Gaige approached him slowly, picking up one of several tins of paint stripper. āI want it exactly as it was,ā he said in a low growl.
āI know,ā Flannegan nodded.
āNo. You donāt. I want it exactly as it was when he painted it.ā
A snort of disbelief escaped Flanneganās crooked nose. "What?"
"It stays, understand?" Gaige answered.
"Why? You competing in the Piston Cup or summin'?"
"It. Stays."
