Britt Reid Jr. / The Green Hornet

“Yes. This is a place for villains and not heroes.”

“…Green Hornet. From Century City. Not shocked newer folks from out of the city haven’t heard of me.

…The Green Hornet has been a presence since the 1930’s over there.”

Granted, Britt Jr. only took up the legacy after the second one died.

Kato is waiting in Black Beauty, parked close by.

He doubts he’d need a quick getaway, but these folks tend to have more power than he’s used.

Century City has less metahumans

The Green Hornet has come a long way from Century City to partake in the festivities along with his “fellow criminals”

He’s mostly investigating a case. But also maintaining his reputation as a supposed notorious crime lord.

“Didn’t you steal the look from a fall guy and then add a jacket? I’m carrying on a classic legacy.”

“It’s not that original a look.”

“Hmm…needs tinkering”

// While The Green Hornet and Batman have teamed up once or twice, Batman only suspects Green Hornet is only pretending to be a criminal.

Simultaneously, Britt Reid Jr. and Bruce Wayne are familiar with each other and travel in similar circles.

“My old man used to attend Gala’s like this. I hear he was good friends with the Wayne family.

…I‘ve become less of a party animal lately but I’ll still attend these things at times.”

These rap beefs are getting crazier and crazier

// A modern day crossover with Batman and the Green Hornet would be interesting

Let’s just ignore the fact that the Britt Jr. Green Hornet referenced Batman as a fictional character once

“I lied. I know a few riddles”

“But…I imagine it’s because of who you are. You wouldn’t be you. You’d be…what the poor have and what the rich need.”

“Oh don’t get me wrong. Your traps are Jigsaw-esque. Difficult and deadly. However, you could preform the perfect crimes if you didn’t leave a riddle behind telling where you’d strike next.”

“We’re also both…‘criminals’”

looks at the fourth wall and winks

“I question the brilliance of a man who compulsively makes it easier to stop him.”

“I don’t even know any good riddles.“

“I am not The Riddler by the way. I keep getting that every time I visit Gotham.”

“Do you call yourself the Blue Beetle or Blue Frog?”

“Why wouldn’t you name it a Beetle Bot. Seems a bit off brand.”

“Good Century City Morning”

points his finger

“Bang.”

“I would certainly hope that the child doesn’t drive the Batmobile”

“I’m mad as a hornet! But…I feel like most folks are these days”

“I don’t think I’m being invited to any Luthor gatherings anytime soon.

The Daily Sentinel isn’t exactly afraid to call out Lex on his questionable actions as a businessman.”

“Who needs a Batmobile when you can drive the Black Beauty?”

a woman’s voice is heard calling out from far away

‘Only Kato drives the Black Beauty’

“…Mulan, must you ruin my fun?”

The green one

“Of course I’m rich! You know how much money it costs to have my vehicles and gadgets? A lot.”

“But how many of them are actually rich?”

Don’t tell him about Green Arrow
