In Temperance City, the streets are ruled by spelled-up gangsters, whose
magic turf wars serve as a constant backdrop to civilian life. With magic
strictly regulated, Eli Coello—whip-smart jewelry salesman by day, sultry torch
singer by night—has always found it advantageous to hide his magical affinity
for ink. 

All that goes up in smoke the day Eli is forced to use his
magic to foil a jewelry heist, and in doing so unwittingly catches the eye of
Duke Haven, leader of the fire-flinging Pyre gang. Seeing a useful asset, Duke
promptly blackmails Eli into providing unregistered spellwork. 

Duke needs Eli’s ink-magic to help him pull a dangerous con
against a rival gang. As the heist comes together, Eli finds himself drawn
deeper and deeper into the Temperance underworld—and, perhaps most dangerously,
to Duke himself.

Scriddler in Ottawa

canadian-riddler:

*Riddler jumps into an OC Transpo bus in an attempt to make a quick getaway.*

Riddler: Let’s go!  I’ve got places to be!

Operator: I’m sorry, sir.  We are on a timed stop.

Riddler: But this bus is late!  You need to –

Operator: A timed stop, sir.

Riddler: You don’t understand, I’m running from Batman and –

Operator: A timed stop sir.  While we’re waiting, may I see your POP, please?

Riddler: My – oh come on, does it look like I have anywhere to carry a Presto card? *gestures to his spandex*

*Scarecrow appears outside the open doors, astride a horse*

Scarecrow:
Edward, why on earth did you think you could depend on public transit??
 Come, I will rescue you from your foolishness.  Again.

Riddler: *leaping onto horse* I’m filing a complaint with your superiors!

Operator: Good luck with that.  

*They ride three blocks before they have to stop*

Scarecrow: What a congested downtown core.  Ghastly.  What is it this time, a sinkhole?

*Riddler peers over Scarecrow’s shoulder at the problem.  He sees what appear to be red uniformed men and women on horses.*

Together: The RCMP Musical Ride!

Riddler:
Dammit, Jonathan, I can’t believe you’ve just placed us straight in the
midst of a multitude of one of the most relentless police forces in all of
North America!“

*Scarecrow glares in response and Riddler raises his hands*

Riddler: I’m sorry!  I’m sorry.  Riding a horse in spandex isn’t the most comfortable thing in the world.  

*Scarecrow
tries to turn around but now they’re blocked in.  Who should come
through the mounted police in front of them but Batman!*

Riddler: Oh.  Let me guess.  Batman is an honorary member of the RCMP.

Batman
*tipping his hat*: You guessed right, erstwhile evildoer!  And I, much
like the RCMP, always get my man.  Now come along.  I believe a stint in
the Royal Ottawa would be good for the both of you!

Scarecrow: See if I rescue you again, Edward.

Riddler: I didn’t need rescued!  OC Transpo is 100% reliable, user-friendly, and on schedule!  Except for today.

*Batman winks.  He was the transit operator in disguise.*
