#brutalscaled #memes ;; pre-established relationships #Okay this one is a bit more straightforwards #It's pretty dangerous to trust another rogue in Gotham but these two eventually finding each other and being kindred spirits is aesthetic af #Especially keeping Arkham Origins in mind where Croc's first impression of Black Mask was actually the Joker in disguise #So basically having to get used to him again #These two have a pretty solid working relationship though #Roman is very business-orientated and likes that Croc plays no silly games like others in Gotham #He does his job well and only expects honest payment #More than okay with Roman #Plus they can be sadistic bastards so win/win #I reckon they're roughly the same age so possible childhood!verse someday? #Roman lived in one of those fancy estates/mansions with surrounding forest so could have met Croc at some point #*shrugs* #Left this as is so as anything could develop!
