As Much As I Love Eddie And Would Have Loved To Have Written Him I Know I Wouldn't Be Able To Do Him Justice - Tumblr Posts

So I really like your Black Mask but I'm curious, who else might you have picked as a muse if you didn't go with Roman?

Hi there, nonny! Thanks so much for the lovely message and I really hope you continue to enjoy Roman’s presence on your dashboard in the future! Truth be told, he was ‘kind of spur of the moment’ when it came to picking a muse but decided on him as he was a character I remembered back when I was last in the Batman fandom years ago? I got back into it again this year after The Batman (2022) and was sorely tempted to go with the Riddler... but as the main antagonist of the movie, he had plenty enough attention as it was and as much as I adore his character, I also don’t think I (personally) have the ‘intellectual’ talent to bring the best in Eddie as a muse? I would have gone with his Arkham depiction also seeing as he was a personal favourite of mine throughout the video game series but again, lacking that same witty ability to make him shine! Therefore, if we’re going back to back then (and possibly now if I picked up another canon muse), I would pick... Kirk Langstrom! Honestly, I think Man-Bat is is a FANTASTIC character and one I think I would have really enjoyed, his human half being a scientist who was hopeful about curing deafness combined with his bestial alter ego thanks to experimenting with vampire bat DNA and ending up becoming scary af in the games. I just think he would have been neat to write and another ‘monstrous’ muse much like Killer Croc albeit one who I don’t think is roleplayed by anyone at all, at least not currently.
