Biography[edit | hide | hide all]
Early Life[edit | hide]
At some point, Tommy Elliot became a childhood friend of Bruce Wayne and taught him everything he knew when it came to business.[3]
In 1984, hoping to be like Bruce Wayne, as an orphan, Elliot stabbed his mother with a pair of sewing scissors.[4]
In 2019, Elliot hired Miguel Robles to find Lucius Fox's journal in order to kill Batman, but the process cost Fox's life.[5]
At some point, Elliot ended up in Arkham Asylum.[3]
Life in Arkham[edit | hide]
In 2020, Elliot came to a psychoanalytic session that Dr. Butler was having with the other inmate, he complained about deserving more recognition since he believed to have taught Bruce Wayne everything he knew. Dr. Butler would order the security to drag Elliot away. Later, while he walked in the corridor, Alice mocked Elliot, which enraged Elliot to the point where he wanted to hurt her. Believing that Elliot stabbed her, the security dragged Elliot away.[3]
Hush...[edit | hide]
Days later, Kate Kane came to visit him in Arkham and revealed that she knew that he was behind the murder of Lucius Fox. But Elliot decided to play the mad man to avoid answering Kate's question so that he could be escorted out. When he arrived at his cell, Alice was there and revealed that Dr. Butler had told the Crows that Elliot can stand trial and would most likely be executed unless he revealed what is the secret of Lucius Fox's journal. Elliot agreed and revealed that the journal contains a secret that can help in penetrating the Batsuit and thus killing the Bat. He then also revealed that Bruce Wayne was in fact Batman, which surprised them. Alice would then remove Elliot's face and give it to someone else that would serve as a copy for masquerading his death as a suicide.[5]
