Sherlock?

Yes, Watson?

That small, little dog over there
That Pomeranian, is it called?
If we could go way back in time, to see its ancestors, would we really find a wolf?

Och! Why did you just hit me, Holmes?

It's a Zen master thing, Dr.Watson
time travel pomeranian

"An Emporium Of Vice"

Wot is, Bats?

It's the title of this Sherlock Holmes novel
Written by AI, Robin
About solving crimes with brain power
& of opium & unrequited love in the sordid underbelly of Soho
Ah, simpler times
Now, Joker has got AI to code a crypto meme & I don't even know if a crime has been committed anymore!

Wassup with Alfred, Bats?

Depressed, since he quit on being crime fighter The Buzzard
Says we think of him as an old fart
in a world of fantastical creatures, Robin

Poor Alf, tell him to put the kettle on & brew up a nice cuppa, or whatever people his age do

Fantastical Creatures#vss365 Fart

Why are we here, in the asylum, Holmes?

Visiting my Dad, Shybuck, Dr.Watson, he's even cleverer than me
Cuz, even I can't crack this mystery

Genius runs in your bloodline, obviously

But driven mad by irrational fears
Only 1% of what he says isn't gibberish
Irrational fears Bloodline

Gosh! Bats, that really is Catwoman!

They're all real, Robin
Don't be disarmed
This isn't a fancy dress party
It's a super villain reunion

Wot, Bats?

They're as confused as everyone else about the modern world & we all want to know where we stand

Reunion Disarmed

She was walking down Baker St under an umbrella & I was running for shelter from the rain, when I saw her, Holmes
A cart ran through a puddle & I got saturated
She saw & smiled in sympathy
I think of her every day

That's a mystery even I can't solve, Dr Watson

Love & Romance Umbrella

Bats, Catwoman has returned all of the love poetry I sent her 😭

I thought you were over her Robin?

I am but I lost them when I left my backpack in the grill bar I use

So?

Mabel, the unctuous, spotty girl that serves there is convinced they refer to her!
Poetry Unctuous

All the points are clearly fascinating but, let's face it, we've dived down a rabbit hole, so to speak, Holmes
One set up by Prof.Moriarty, to confuse us

Sherlock almost bites the end of his pipe, "Dr.Watson.
I *will* solve this case, I *will*"
Rising tension Rabbit hole

I have a confession to make, Alfred
Many times I've been tempted to quit this life as Batman
There's no shame in it
It's hard

So, what keeps you going?

The buzz I get, ridding our city of scum

You don't think I'm up to being crime fighter The Buzzard, do you?

Confession Quit

It's a child's delight of humour & comedy, DrWatson
But that joke shop, full of whooppee cushions & stink bombs, might hold darker surprises

Wot!
Seriously, Holmes?

Yh
The cobweb tattoo on the owner's neck & description of the clown masks from that bank raid
Humour/Comedy Delight

A schism in the criminal fraternity, gambling debts... there are many reasons why a man might want to start over, Dr.Watson

Or a socially unacceptable affair with the girl at the pie shop, that's about to be discovered, Holmes

That's *very* specific, Watson?
Starting over Schism

Breath in that fresh air DrWatson

Hiring a barge is a great idea... for summer, Holmes but the mystery that needs solving is why I ever agreed to do this on a frozen X-mas
& stop puffing your pipe & help me unfreeze the canal wickets
Complete holidayhorror
Holiday horror Wickets

Half man, half Axolotl!
In the annals of supervillianary, I've never heard anything as ridiculous, Robin
I mean what possible advantages...?
SciFi tech genius my ass

It's an obvious mistake, Bats
He's putting on a brave face

Lizard face, you mean

Funny, Bats

SciFi tech Axolotl

Wots up Bats?

It's Alfred, Robin, or should I say 'The Buzzard'
I offer him the chance to take on the creeps victimising the 24/7 store, kids probably, and he says:
I'm not going out in this weather!
I think Buzzard should retire before his career even starts

Weather Creep

Holmes, why don't you get rid of that rotting creature's head, you have over the fireplace?

It's a souvenir, Watson
Wot memories!

But you aren't a hunter
You use intellect, not guns

I won it at cards!
You should have seen the face on that smarty pants gambler

Gambling Souvenir

Wot, Bats?

I need to talk to you as your guardian, Robin

Omg!

You hop from girl to girl &
that's not love
Gosh, I'm crap at this romance stuff
With parents brutally murdered & a heart full of rage, I have no model for talking about...

Alfred!? Can you help here?

Love Hop

I do miss my home comforts, Holmes

Travel broadens the mind, Dr.Watson
We're here to solve a murder & we can't do that from Baker St

I know you like a challenge but Egypt!
A murder that's 4000 years old!
&... Oh Scooby Doo! I think this mummy just moved!

travel travel

Dr.Watson, were you sneaking a peek at that young woman's ankles on the tram just now?

No.. Holmes!
I was looking for my ticket which I accidentally dropped
But *you* obviously noticed

You never know when a knowledge of womens' shoes could help solve a crime

Humour Peek

Y are we going to Joker's circus, Bats?
You hate circuses & U went last week
Is it 'cause Riddler is performing & U think their promise that it's legal rings hollow

Yes Robin & I entered the Batman lookalike competition last week and came fourth!

Circus / Carnival Hollow

Wot u readin', Bats?

This poet, Arete, Robin
That's a sick joke, for starters
Can't be his real name

The one that writes dark poetry about serial killers?

Yh, he's popular
There's lots of sick people about
But he knows just too many
correct many details
