Ah the iceburg. Where everyone knows your name and coffin size. and it's true. making your way in the world today takes everything you've got. There's now a support group for people who have problems with their life, it's called "Everyone." and meets at the neighbourhood bar every night.

I'll bet the last time Selina walked in, she said "Hi everybody," and everyone shouted back "Selina!" and Blake went buggo.

Okay lets take it down.

Selina's becoming more of a fixture in this town than Batman.

From the way Oswald was slumped on his desk, Sly had assumed his employer was passed out.

Some men are born to greatness. others have it thrust upon them while their boss is drunk.

To be sure, Sly is more of a fixture in that bar than Oswald is and if He and Brady take over the show, nobody will have anything to say against it. Once Oswald drinks his way through the first three stages "Denial, Anger and Barganing" he'll spend the Depression stage listening to the jukebox, like what was done in "Blonde Jokes."

What DOES become of the broken hearted anyway?

Well now, something interesting is happening here. The broken family is already taking sides, the divisions are already forming.

If it comes to it, then there'll be a split in the underworld, with all those who want to follow King Hugo over King Joker and harley is the trigger.

Harley will have the support of Ivy sewn up, maybe Riddler and Selina too.

Come to think of it, she'd have EVERY vote sewn up, because Joker is...Joker.

The only division forming here, is the group that sides with Harley, and the group that sides with Harley in Joker's presence.

It's the same thing whenever anyone tries to overthrow the king. You gotta do it quiet-like, or it's OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

And ordinarily that would be it. Joker vs Harley, Joker kills the Demonblonde as an example, everyone mourns for her when Joker's back is turned, game over...

Except for three things that have shifted the balance of power.

One: Release.
All the inmates are coming out of Arkham at more or less the same time. It's not gonna be a campaign to choose which of they two clown they like, it's gonna be a brawl at the Iceburg, with everyone there at once.

Two: The Shadow Kingship.
Hugo's new powerbase has given the underworld a new option. Those who dare not snub the clown from hell have a new leader to rally behind. No longer do they have to listen to hugo's prattling about Batman the man/bat/alien, and they have discovered that now it's a good idea to be nice to him in Arkham. Get in good with the king, and he'll make sure your loyalty is noted.

It's good to be the King.

Three: Ascension of Management.
Here's the big one! Sly, who everyone likes, has taken over the tip of the Iceburg, and Greg Brady has taken (Assuming he says yes) over the underworld element. This creates a new powerbase in the underowrld, because the Unflappable Sly, combined with Greg Brady and his Demon enforcers, not even the Joker himself will be allowed to get away with anything.

So now the usual underworld has a link to Demon HQ.

Wait till Bats finds out.
Wait till Roxy and Batgirl find out!

So now we got ourselves a show.

And there of course is the failing of this grand new empire the writing is on the wall before the new team even stands:

Sun Tzu wrote: "Being unconquerable lies with yourself; being conquerable lies with the enemy."

Greg Brady said: “—as long as you don’t hit on Roxy Rocket.”

In life you learn to comprimise, so I guess that leaves me with: "Being unconquerable lies with yourself—as long as you don’t hit on Roxy Rocket.”

It was a joke then, a laugh between fellow iceburg bartenders. But it's now no joke. Roxy, Sly and Brady in the same room. How many empires where brothers rule have crumbled over a woman?

Even Joker wont be able to take this new partnership, because if Kittlemiers is the Wateringhole, then the Iceburg is Casablanca. batman never ventures in there. Selina wouldnt allow it, and even if he did, then there'll be a whole bunch of people there who would like him to leave.

but where all outside attacks would fail, the new team of brady and Sly will crumble from within.

It was a joke then, a laugh between fellow Iceburg bartenders. But it's now no joke. Roxy, Sly and Brady in the same room. How many empires where brothers rule have crumbled over a woman?

Toss in Batgirl, and this cant end well.

But even if it isnt Roxy and batgirl, it'll be something else some point on which these two dont agree, and suddenly there's a new split. Those that side with Greg, and those that side with Sly.

THIS CANT END WELL

So, Questions?

Who's the new girl in tinfoil?
What's Hugo gonna do when he realises his newfound power?
What's Joker gonna do when he discovers the coup detat?
How's it gonna come down when the underworld civil war begins?
