Blaise - The Batman: Season Five

The alter-ego of esteemed nuclear physicist Dr Jane Blaisedale, Blaise was a criminal associate of Firefly, aka Garfield Lynns, starting a romantic relationship with the famed arsonist and corporate saboteur.  

After her research project on boosting nuclear power at Gotham U was shut down over safety concerns, she turned to a life of crime, partnering with her boyfriend to help amass enough wealth to leave Gotham City behind forever. 

Putting her knowledge to good use, Blaise designed several upgrades that would help enhance and improve his operations, dubbing the project, Firefly 2.0. Among the items they stole was a highly volatile experimental isotope she had been researching back at her old lab in Gotham U. 

This isotope would spell disaster for the couple, destroying their safehouse and irradiating Lynns with so much nuclear radiation that it heavily mutated his body; transforming him into Phosphorus. 

Watching his violent and extreme descent into madness, she became disillusioned by his lack of control and willingness to use his powers to inflict pain and suffering on others. She attempted to get Phosphorus help, but his abusive behaviour pushed her away. 

Ultimately, Blaise turned against her lover, assisting Batman, Batgirl and Robin in his defeat and stopping Lynns from causing a catastrophic meltdown that would decimate Gotham. 

Horrified by her experiences, she chose to end their relationship and cut all ties with him, letting him know that any spark they had once shared was thoroughly gone.

Dr. Jane Blaisedale - The Batman: Season Five

A brilliant nuclear physicist who used to operate at Gotham U., Dr Jane Blaisedale was employed to work on an advanced project designed to boost the output of nuclear energy sources. When the board deemed this assignment too risky to continue, she quit in protest, angered by the findings and believing that she was being professionally stifled. 

Determined to continue her research by any means necessary,  Jane, now going by the name Blaise, teamed up with her boyfriend, Garfield Lynns, aka Firefly, to steal an experimental radioactive isotope from her old lab. She hoped to help the mercenary improve his gear and execute the perfect heist, which would earn them enough money to leave Gotham and live comfortably in Europe.

Unfortunately, their plan didn't go as expected and an accident with the isotope caused Lynns' body to mutate into the unstable meta-criminal Phosphorus. This mutation threatened to destroy the city and eventually led to Lynns' incarceration in a containment cell in the basement of Arkham Asylum.

As a result of her part in the couple's crimes, Jane was arrested and issued a custodial sentence. 

Her relationship with Lynns, frayed from his regular violent outbursts, reached boiling point, leading to her decision to break up with him not long after their internment.

Audio Logs: 

Tape One

Penguin: I'm only doing this as a courtesy, Strange. Don't think you've beaten me.

Hugo Strange: I just thought we could both benefit from a little talk, Mr. Cobblepot.

Penguin: Don't try that psycho mumbo jumbo with me, Strange. I'm not like the other crazies.

Hugo Strange: Of course not, after all, considering the... challenges you've faced...

Penguin: Challenges? What freakin' challenges? You're not better than me. No one is. I own this place.

Hugo Strange: Well, to be clear, I allow you certain freedoms, but let's continue. Why do you feel the need to own anything? I believe it is a mechanism to compensate for some childhood inadequacy. You were friends with the Waynes, correct?

Penguin: I was, 'till someone did the world a favour and blew the brains out of little Wayne's self-righteous parents. I was laughing for weeks. It still brings a smile to my face.

Hugo Strange: And you think that's OK?

Penguin: OK? No, I don't think it's OK. I think it's bloody hysterical. That family destroyed mine. What happened to them, well, it couldn't have happened to nicer people.

Tape Two

Hugo Strange: Take a seat, Mr. Cobblepot.

Penguin: What is it now, Strange?

Hugo Strange: I wanted to talk about your apparent hatred of the Waynes. Your outburst last time was most interesting.

Penguin: It's simple, really. I don't like the snivelling little bastard. Look at him. All high and mighty because someone killed mummy and daddy.

Hugo Strange: Most people look upon him with sympathy.

Penguin: No they don't. They're jealous. Jealous of his money, his cars, his women. He lost the sympathy vote when he vanished for all those years. I can't tell you how much I hoped he was visiting his dear mom and dad.

Hugo Strange: Where do you suppose he went?

Penguin: How am I supposed to know?

Hugo Strange: Let us move on then.

Penguin: No. It's time that you do something for me.

Hugo Strange: And what is that?

Penguin: Here's a list.

Tape Three

Penguin: I thought I told you, Strange, no more little questions until you give me what I want.

Hugo Strange: Take a look, Mr. Cobblepot. Here is a purchase order for the various firearms you require. I must say, you chose an exotic selection.

Penguin: I only take the best.

Hugo Strange: A wise strategy.

Penguin: So, what's yours?

Hugo Strange: Excuse me?

Penguin: What are you up to? Why would you give me, me of all people, guns, explosives... all this stuff?

Hugo Strange: Arkham City is an experiment, Mr. Cobblepot, a new way of thinking. We've separated you from society so I am more than willing to study the results if you all just decide to kill each other. Besides, your feud with the Joker is intriguing.

Penguin: I was here first. I bought my museum and the Iceberg Lounge fair and square. It was you and that mayor who stuck us all together.

Hugo Strange: Again, you refer to owning things. Quite fascinating. I believe we gave you the opportunity to leave.

Penguin: And take over my turf? Never.

Tape Four

Hugo Strange: Good evening Mr. Cobblepot. I trust you received the second delivery.

Penguin: Yeah, I did. I don't know what you did to those dribbling monkeys, Strange, but they were perfect.

Hugo Strange: I'm glad. It appears that we can both help each other.

Penguin: If you say so. I suppose it doesn't hurt that by the time I'm done with 'em, they're usually in too many pieces for anyone to suspect what you are really getting up to in those rooms of yours.

Hugo Strange: I have no idea what you are talking about.

Penguin: Of course not. So, Hugo, the clown, is he really dying?

Hugo Strange: It appears so. Self-inflicted, of course, but yes he is. He has Mister Freeze working on a potential cure, but I am sure neither of us wants him to get his hands on it, do we?

Tape Five

Penguin: We're ready.

Hugo Strange: Good. Now, one last thing. Your face.

Penguin: It's beautiful, isn't it?

Hugo Strange: The eye? I believe it was the result of a bar brawl, correct?

Penguin: The toe-rag got lucky. He got his though. He took my eye, I took both of his. Left him trying to walk across the Gotham Freeway at rush hour. Hilarious.

Hugo Strange: You're a rich man, Mr. Cobblepot. You could have had that glass removed.

Penguin: They said it was impossible. And what the hell, I think it gives me a... more unique look. Know what I mean? Now, where is Freeze?

Hugo Strange: He's right here, in the room next door. You can take him with you. Are you familiar with the term Napoleon complex?

Penguin: No. What is it?

Hugo Strange: It's nothing. Oh, and one last thing. Here is a list of ten prisoners I believe work for you.

Penguin: Yeah, so what? Do you want to saw their heads open and scoop out their brains too?

Hugo Strange: No. I just thought you'd like to know that they are all in the employ of the GCPD.

Penguin: What?!

Hugo Strange: I believe you know what to do to them. I don't like being spied on, Mr. Cobblepot. Goodnight.

Audio Logs: 

Tape 1: 

TYGER Guard: Prisoner's here, sir.

Hugo Strange: Very good. Send him in.

TYGER Guard: But we haven't got the suit off him yet. He's dangerous. Are you sure?

Hugo Strange: Of course. Victor Fries and I have much in common. We will be fine. Welcome to my facility. Please, take a seat.

Mister Freeze: I prefer to stand. Why am I here?

Hugo Strange: Oh, Victor, there will be plenty of time for that later. Right now I wish to get to know you. Discover how you came to have such a... frosty outlook on life.

Mister Freeze: I have nothing to say to you. You may have taken my weapons, but my suit still has considerable offensive capabilities. I will freeze the marrow in your legs. Each bone will shatter and fracture while you remain completely aware of your impending paralysis, begging me to end you.

Hugo Strange: I don't think that you will do that, Victor.

Mister Freeze: Really. Why not?

Hugo Strange: Simple. If you hurt me, your wife will die.

Tape 2:

Mister Freeze: Where is she? Where is my wife?

Hugo Strange: Nora is in safe hands. Now, let's discuss an incident from your childhood...

Mister Freeze: No.

Hugo Strange: Then this is over. Guard!

Mister Freeze: Wait! What do you wish to learn?

Hugo Strange: Your early years were troubled.

Mister Freeze: I was not a sociable child, but that is all.

Hugo Strange: Even your parents disowned you. They sent you away to a reform school, correct?

Mister Freeze: They did not understand my work.

Hugo Strange: Your work? According to a police report, you froze over a dozen of your neighbours' pets.

Mister Freeze: I've always had an interest in cryonic preservation. I didn't understand why my parents allowed our sick pets to die instead of attempting to save them. So I set about finding my own way. I intended to revive all those creatures.

Hugo Strange: But you didn't. Which brings us to Nora.

Tape 3:

Mister Freeze: Have you ever seen a flower die? Watched something that was once so beautiful, so full of life, collapse and rot from within...

Hugo Strange: You refer to Nora's illness?

Mister Freeze: It seems like yesterday when I first found her. It all happened so quickly. Suddenly, I was losing her.

Hugo Strange: Did you seek help? What about your employer, GothCorp?

Mister Freeze: I hid it from them, diverting resources from GothCorp's research in an attempt to find the cure, but in the end, I failed. Time was running out. I knew that if I was discovered, Nora would die.

Hugo Strange: Why take that risk?

Mister Freeze: Do you know what it is to love someone? To really love them?

Hugo Strange: No.

Mister Freeze: Nora was all I could think of. I re-ran the diagnostics, re-examined every detail from every angle, certain that I had missed something. I cursed myself for being so blind, so stupid. Surely there was a cure, I just needed more time. Then I realized what I had to do.

Tape 4:

Mister Freeze: I had worked without sleep for a week. My needs didn't seem important. Sleep didn't matter. Food didn't matter. There was only her. I looked at Nora and I told her that I loved her. She told me there was nothing I could do, that I... we should just accept fate. She smiled her beautiful smile as she said it. I promised to cure her. And then I pressed the button.

Hugo Strange: You cryogenically froze her. Keeping her on ice, so to speak, while you worked on a cure. It broke your heart but now you had all the time in the world. Did you feel relieved?

Mister Freeze: I went home and fell into a deep sleep. For the first time since we discovered Nora's illness, I dared to dream. But... for weeks I had ignored my superiors' attempts to contact me. The next morning, I overslept. And by the time I got to the lab, Ferris Boyle, the CEO, was there waiting.

Hugo Strange: What did he do?

Mister Freeze: He accused me of industrial espionage, which I denied, but then his guards found Nora. Boyle told me that, like all of my "research," she belonged to him. I was enraged. I attacked him, but his guards beat me back and in the struggle, I was drenched by the cryogenic chemical I had created. I lay on the floor helpless watching the guards steal Nora away. Boyle told me it was a tragedy for such a promising mind to perish in a lab accident. Then he left me to die.

Hugo Strange: But you survived.

Mister Freeze: The chemicals absorbed into my body and... transformed my metabolism. My body went numb. I felt a strange tingling, then searing pain all over... Each breath ignited my lungs. I clawed my way back to a refrigeration unit and as I closed the door behind me, I felt the icy chill calm my aching body. Things suddenly seemed clear.

Hugo Strange: What seemed clear? Finding a cure for Nora?

Mister Freeze: No. Revenge. Boyle would pay.

Tape 5:

Hugo Strange: You failed to kill Ferris Boyle, though, didn't you?

Mister Freeze: Yes.

Hugo Strange: Why?

Mister Freeze: You know why. Batman. Though he did return Nora to safety - until you got her.

Hugo Strange: See, there you go. Blame me. Blame your parents because you failed to revive the neighbours' pets. Blame Ferris Boyle for spoiling your plans to cure Nora. Blame Batman for stopping your revenge against Boyle. And now your Nora is in danger...

Mister Freeze: Because of you.

Hugo Strange: No, Victor. Because of you. You have always had a heart of ice. You stole peoples' pets, you stole GothCorp resources, and since then you've stolen so much more for your own selfish, scientific inquiries. If you had shared your genius with others, devoted your energy to medicine instead of crime, perhaps your ice princess would be at home now, preparing you a hot meal - instead of being delivered to the Joker.

Mister Freeze: No...

Hugo Strange: You could have saved Nora a long time ago, Victor.

Mister Freeze: It's all for her. Everything. I will get her back. And when I do, I'm coming for you.

Hugo Strange: Thank you. We are done now.

Mister Freeze: Nora...

"Batman: Two years ago, l uncovered Joker's plot to unleash a genetically enhanced army on Gotham. The drug he used to modify his henchmen was called Titan. Before I could stop him, Joker ingested a massive dose of the Titan formula and mutated into a gigantic abomination. I managed to defeat him,

but his overdose had devastating side effects.

Joker was dying and he needed a cure. To ensure my cooperation he infected my blood with his own, leaving me no choice but to help him. But that wasn't all. He contaminated Gotham's blood banks too. The result: the patients currently quarantined here. Joker's mutated blood behaves like a prion infection, attacking the brain and transforming these people... into him.

Alfred Pennyworth - Batman: The Enemy Within

Codex: 

I am not my father's son. I am Alfred's. After my mother and father were murdered, he was the one who did the hard work of raising me. It couldn't have been easy for him, making sure he instilled the right values and steered me away from the vices of my father.

Steadfast, true and compassionate, Alfred knows me better than anybody. Certainly better than I know myself. He's my moral compass and my best friend.

Last year, he was kidnapped by Lady Arkham. I'm still riddled with guilt over what happened. I just hope he can recover from the emotional trauma of the ordeal...

All I want is for him is to be healthy and happy again.

Alfred told me he wanted to leave. He said his tremors stopped after he made the decision; that the stress of not being a good father to me was to blame. He also posited that Batman might bring out the worst in the scum I swore I'd fight... I can't give up my mission. Not for him, not for anyone. Wayne Manor is quiet without him.

James Gordon - Batman: The Enemy Within

Codex: 

Over the past year, my partnership with Jim has flourished. I've finally won his trust and Gotham City is a better place for it. Batman used to be hidden in the shadows, but Jim has helped me step into the light and find legitimacy. For that, I'm grateful.

I think Jim is finally settling into his new role as Police Commissioner. It's been a difficult transition and I don't think he'll ever be comfortable with the tragic way he received his promotion. But I trust he'll use his newfound authority to make this city a better place. Gotham is lucky to have him and so am I. I couldn't ask for a better partner.

Gordon was fired for following a legitimate lead between myself and the Pact. The idle time didn't last long as he was back on the street trying to help stop John. He knows he let the pressure of Waller being in town, and in charge, get to him. He apologized. I accepted. That's about all I think he'd like me to say about that.

Gordon lured me to Ace Chemicals in order to hand me over to John in exchange for a map of the gas bombs placed around the city. For the good of Gotham, he said. Of course, John didn't live up to the letter of their agreement, he shot Gordon in the knees. Gordon did manage to get the bombs, though. He was to be reinstated as Commissioner of the GCPD when he recovered, but he turned down the job in a public announcement.

Heavy grappling device

I can't be everywhere at once, but this design makes it easy to take care of business from across a room, whether that business is wresting weapons away from criminals or stopping something heavy from falling on bystanders.

Prototype Batsuit - Batman: The Enemy Within

Batsuit 

Early Prototype

My suit always takes a lot of damage, but still does what it's supposed to do-- hide my identity, intimidate criminals, and keep me alive.

This is an older model of Lucius Fox's design. I had to revert to it after my Batsuit was damaged in a fight with Lady Arkham. It's not as advanced, but that's good. I never want to be too reliant on technology.

Batsuit Mark I - Batman: The Enemy Within

Batsuit Previous Model

My suit always takes a lot of damage, but still does what it's supposed to do -- hide my identity, intimidate criminals, and keep me alive.

This Batsuit was damaged in fights against the Children of Arkham and Harvey Dent's paramilitary troops. Lucius has since given me an even better version of the suit. I hold onto this one to remind me to never let my guard down in battle.

Catwoman - Batman: The Enemy Within

Catwoman

Selina Kyle, Thief for Hire

Selina Kyle came to Gotham to perform a number of robberies for the Children of Arkham, though she eventually helped me stop them. She left Gotham during Lady Arkham's final assault on the city, and I don't know whether she'll ever return.
