At the Bat computer, Bruce finally found who the guitar belonged to, a western hero from the 1800’s. Hank "Harmony" Hayes wandered the Old West singing songs and righting wrongs under the name Minstrel Maverick. Somehow he knew his grandfather and his guitar ended up here in a forgotten shed. Where it would had been forgotten if it wasn’t for Selena finding the old shed.
“There you are,” Selena said as she walks up to him and planted herself on him, sitting on his lap sideways.
“Finally learn who the owner of the guitar is,” Bruce said.
“A western hero somehow knew your grandfather and gave his guitar to him,” Selena said looking at the computer.
“Yes but how is lost with time,” Bruce said.
“Well at least that gift helped out. And it also explains why the guitar is so reinforced and has metal plating,” Selena said not moving from Bruce’s lap as she brings up what happen at the museum earlier.
On the screen shows security footage of the museum where Bruce is donating the guitar to the museum along with the stagecoach. Selena was there as well with Sunset, showing her the displays. That’s when the supervillain Duplicate Man, came running into the museum stealing the valuables. The Duplicate Man wears a helmet that allows him to make duplicates of himself, making him a one man army. (1)
“I haven’t seen him in years,” Bruce said.
“It seems that with so many villains in custody, the other villains are stepping up to fill the power vacuum. Nightwing and Robin ran into some of Egghead’s crew. And Batgirl saw Doctor Death at the docks,” Selena said.
“What about your brother?” Bruce ask.
“He hasn’t return to crime if you’re thinking he’s coming back as King of Cats,” Selena said huffing not liking how her brother stole her theme. (2)
On the screen shows Duplicate Man ordering Selena to give him her purse as his copies are ransacking the museum. Bruce came up from behind him and brought down the guitar that has been reinforced, on the villain’s head. The blow busted Duplicate Man’s helmet causing all of his copies to disappear.
“It’s a meme now,” Selena said.
“What?” Bruce ask.
Selena brings up an edited video of Bruce hitting Duplicate Man with the guitar but this time with the soundtrack of an old cartoon and the sound effects from that old cartoon show of the cartoon horse lawman. Followed by another video with a voice over of that old cartoon. (3)
“Now, I have this image in my head where instead of Zorro, you followed his example. Swinging around and kabonging the other villains with a guitar,” Selena laughs as Bruce can only groans knowing that this is going to be following him for years to come.

I think until he was forced into retirement by age he never thought past the routine of what he was doing playing the rich playboy who from time to time did check on the business and the rest was busy making sure nobody suffered the way he did. Mr freeze from what I could tell was least unkind villain as long you stay out of his way he wouldn't touch you in any way. He couldn't let go of his wife without trying everything in his power to save her and I feel sorry for the guy considering if they hadn't messed up the experiment they could have made tons of money of the cure.
I am so happy that I am not the only one who thought of Quick Draw. I love that a meme was made of that lol.
Selena has a brother? I know of her sister but a brother? Herm... Ah! Earth 2! Goddamn that is a deep cut, one I did not know.
Egghead's crew? Egghead? You are having a bit too much fun with this aren't you? But at lest he is more well known then Duplicate Man. Isn't Duplicate Man a one off from the 50's? I am awed by your random Batman villain knowledge.
