One of the newest characters in Gotham City has been revealed in Octo♕ber 19's to actually be someone much older ꦓ... sort of.

In Batman #115 by James Tynion IV, Jorge Jimenez, and Bengal, we finally learn the identity of Master Wyze, the♛ leader of the recently introduced Unsanity Collective who himself was introduced in .

Spoilers ahead for Batman #115.

Deep beneath the bedrock of Gotham City in Poison Ivy's undergroun♔d headquarters, Eden, members of the Unsanity Collective have found refuge with the sometimes-villain/sometimes anti-hero - with Pamela Isley even healing ꧒an injured man part of the group.

It's during that interaction that Master Wyze casually༺ brings up that he and Poison Ivy met before. Like readers have been led to believe, Ivy says she "was under the impression your Unsanity Collective has no past."

Mast꧂er Wyze reveals that he was a scientist who worked side-by-side with Jervis Tet💎ch - the man who fans know as the DC villain the Mad Hatter.

"At first, he wanted me to be his March Hare. But I decided on a smaller name, to stay out of the way🌃 of his madness."

March Hare (real name Harriet Pratt) is a member of Mad Hatter's Wonderland gang and something of his right-hand acco♓mplice.🦂 

Poison Ivy then recalls him as being another member of the Wonderland gang called Dormouse and having met him whiওle they were both incarcerated at Arkham Asylum.

"Hatter's madness. It didn't seem menacing to me... it was childish. Innocent, almost... but it allowed me to continue my work," Wyze says. "In time, I saw the cost. The damage to ordinary people. And in Arkham, I saw the way society discarded those of us it called insane."

"The way it pushed us to the fringe, and got sicker and sicker," he continues. "I saw the cycle the city was trapped in. I wanted to break the cycle.༺"

Both the Mad Hatter and Dormouse are characters in Lewis Carroll's prose novel. DC's Mad Hatter was introduced as a Batman vain in 1940's Batman #49, and a larger Wonderland Gang was introducꦆed in 2008's - but with no mention of a Dormouse. 

Dormouse has never been adapted to DC comics, although Mad Hatter has em🌊ployed some unnamed accomplices which could be retroactively b♔e revealed to have been Dormouse. 

The issue ends with Eden being invaded 🅺by the Magꦜistrate's troopers, so we may see more of the former Dormouse in November 2's .

Master Wyze/Dormouse hasn't made our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Batman villains - but the Mad Hatter certainly has.
