...oh, that's a thing. Apparently I've been dropped in right where I left off again. I suppose I'll have to get in touch with Bruce and see how he's been, he was never the same after that heart attack.

Oh. He has a successor. Well, that's a good thing. Wonder how the Justice League is doing?

Ah, Superman's still hanging in there nicely. That's a plus. Looks like Superwoman and Matrix - that is, Kara and Galatea - are still around, if not in the League proper. Nothing changed, then, though they probably wonder why I got distant over the previous few years. Aside from being old and decrepit.

Well, the uplifting with advanced technology has worked out fine so far, so Sovereign Metasystems can keep it up. Let's kick it up a notch or three. Hello humanity, we've figured out a useful form of FTL travel, also have some biological immortality-

Why are you all freaking out, people screw around with gene splicing on the black market, is it THAT unexpected that someone could make some stable nanites to restore telomeres and fix anything but massive trauma? Yeesh, not like I'm turning everyone into Superman, just a really watered-down Wolverine. And also fixing old age, though it takes time, why do you think I look like a guy in his fifties instead of a guy in his eighties?

Ah well, could be worse. Oh hey by the way we're gonna build an orbital ring because we can.

What's that? The Joker's back? ...he turned a microchip into a horcrux. How the actual fuck did he turn a microchip into a horcrux, no wonder he said he was years ahead of his time. Right, we're gonna obliviate the retired Boy Wonder from that nightmare of an experience and let him catch up on old times with Chief Gordon.

What's that? The Joker's back? AGAIN? How the actual fuck- oh thank god he had a heart attack. I hope Bruce doesn't mind me giving him a Viking funeral. Onto the pyre he goes! And then into the sea. And then we detonate the explosives via remote control.

...god, Neo-Gotham is frustrating...
