    You were an artist aside from your job. You created murals and paintings of the batfamily in Gotham. Your art has focused a lot more on Red Hood lately. Gotham was not very happy to see Red Hood because of his villain episode. You, however, saw Red Hood as a symbol of strength and evolution. Red Hood didn’t kill innocent civilians, he wasn’t mean to children, and he didn’t pulverize low-level thieves. Red Hood was the more effective version of Batman. And you wanted the rest of Gotham to see that too.

    Your art featuring the batfamily started as a teenage obsession that slowly grew into a great appreciation and idolization of the batfamily. Once Red Hood had become an ally of Batman, the hate towards Red Hood got stronger tenfold. That’s when you started anonymously submitting your art promoting Red Hood as a hero to the good and a symbol of justice to the guilty. All the batfamily members had seen your art in the newspapers, though, of course, they didn’t know you had made it since you never submitted your art with anything but a messy signature.

    As the hate towards Red Hood was the only thing you ever heard on radio and television, you started painting your art onto the alley walls and manhole covers all around Gotham during the night. Your murals quickly grew in popularity and became infamous in Gotham. There was much controversy surrounding the art, but it did the job and helped diminish the hate towards Red Hood.

    Red Hood had seen your art in the newspaper and the murals. He was intrigued. He didn’t know who cared so much about his image that they would spend hours each night creating murals. He wanted to know who it was and why, so he widened his patrol until one night he sees you in an alley, halfway through creating another mural. His will-power falters for a moment, and he walks out of the shadows and stops next to you.

    Red Hood: "Your art's good. Go to art school?"
