One of the newest characters in Gotham City has been revealed in October 19's Batman #115 to actually be person much older ... sort of.

In Batman #115 by James Tynion IV, Jorge Jimenez, and Bengal, we last learn the personal identity of Master Wyze, the leader of the recently introduced Unsanity Collective who himself was introduced in Batman #106.

Spoilers ahead for Batman #115.

Deep beneath the bedrock of Gotham City in Poison Ivy's underground home bas, Eden, members of the Unsanity Collective have base refuge with the sometimes-villain/sometimes anti-hero - with Pamela Isley even curative an harmed man part of the group.

It's during that fundamental interaction that Overlord Wyze nonchalantly brings up that he and Poison English ivy met before. Like readers have been led to believe, English ivy says she "was under the impression your Unsanity Knockdown has none past."

Master Wyze reveals that he was a scientist WHO worked broadside-by-side with Jervis Tetch - the man who fans know as the DC villain the Mad Hatter.

"At get-go, he wanted Maine to be his March Rabbit. But I decided on a littler name, to stay out of the way of his madness."

Exhibit Rabbit (very list Harriet Pratt) is a extremity of Insane Hatter's Wonderland gang and something of his right accomplice.

Poison Common ivy then recalls him as being other member of the Wonderland gang called Dormouse and having met him while they were both incarcerated at Arkham Asylum.

"Milliner's madness. IT didn't look menacing to Maine... it was childish. Innocent, almost... merely IT allowed me to continue my work," Wyze says. "In clock, I saw the cost. The damage to ordinary people. And in Arkham, I saw the way society discarded those of us it called nuts."

"The way information technology pushed us to the fringe, and got sicker and sicker," he continues. "I saw the cycle City of London was trapped in. I wanted to break the cps."

Some the Mad Modiste and Dormouse are characters in John L. Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland prose new. DC's Mad Milliner was introduced American Samoa a Batman vain in 1940's Batman #49, and a bigger Wonderland Gang was introduced in 2008's Detective Comics #841 - but with no mention of a Dormouse.

Dormouse has ne'er been adapted to DC comics, although Sick Hatter has employed some unnamed accomplices which could be retroactively be disclosed to throw been Dormouse.

The egress ends with Eden being invaded by the Magistrate's troopers, so we Crataegus laevigata see Sir Thomas More of the early Dormouse in November 2's Batman #116.

Master Wyze/Dormouse hasn't made our list of the unsurpassed Batman villains - but the Mad Hatter certainly has.
