Hello CBMers!!!
The mega sized incarceration facility, Supermax, now completed and located in parts unknown. It was built to house the greatest comic book villains to one maximum secured super structure. The villains are placed in unbreakable handcuffs (similar to what Loki had in Avengers) that dampen any superpowers for transport. They are then placed on a bus and transferred to the Supermax. The Supermax houses six different wings with multiple cells to each. The cells are nicknamed "glass boxes" due to the barrier of see through reinforced glass where bars would be in a common prison. And now a look at what happens within those hardened walls and between the captured CBM villains.
Part of the fun is to imagine the assembled characters as by the following portrayals. Voice wise and look; as based upon their more memorable appearance from each one's movies. Only a few characters' appearances will be described.

INSIDE CELL A-1 - Bane and Joker
Joker is seated on the lower bunk across from the cell's glass barrier, hands on his knees. Bane is pacing back and forth opposite Joker, both hands holding onto each of his collars. Guard 'Blade' walks in front of their cell and Joker springs from the bunk to the glass wall.
JOKER: "Hey, hey, hey. Guard! Look at me. LOOK AT ME!"
Guard Blade turns and walks to A-1's glass, staring at Joker eye to eye.
BLADE: "What do you want, clown?"
Joker cracks a wide smile.
JOKER: "Hahaha. Not easily shaken. I like that. Now, if you could be ever so kind and indulge me. I need an assistant, not any, no. No. It must be you. Trust me, your gonna like this. You like magic, right? How about a magic trick?"
Joker walks to the desk and chair inside the cell, pulling out a pencil from his coat's inside chest pocket. He aggressively stabs the pencil into the desk so that it jams into the wooden top, remaining upright on its own.
JOKER: "I'll show you how to make this pencil disappear."
BLADE: "Do I look like I was born yesterday?
JOKER: "Yea..."
Blade walks away from the cell, and Joker slumps into the chair shaking his head. Bane walks over, hands still on his collars.
BANE: "Perhaps! I could be your assistant? This looks like a masterful trick."
JOKER: " *stares at Bane with utter bewilderment* Are you serious? Do you not know?"
BANE: " *eyes widen* Ooooh! This is that trick...the one were you...oh. My apologies."
JOKER: "You see, and that is wherein the problem lies. So stunning, everyone knows the trick nowadays."
BANE: "And yet, you might achieve more, if you had at least one other trick."
JOKER: "Oh, you want see my new trick, I'll show you another way to make this pencil disappear..."
Joker reaches back into his inside pocket, producing a second pencil...
Warden Blaze and Guard Castle exit the warden's office, and make their way to the cells area.
WARDEN: "How many is it today?"
CASTLE: "Just the one sir. Cell C-1. Then we also got to start preparations for a new ABUS, arriving tomorrow."
WARDEN: "Already? Getting to be ALOT of these guys."
The warden and Guard Castle approach cell C-1, which houses Mr. Freeze and Dr. Octopus. Dr. Octopus is currently in solitary. Castle knock on the window, and motions for Freeze to approach the glass and turn around. With a special device, Castle opens the glass enough in order to place the power suppressing handcuffs on Mr. Freeze. Castle then opens the glass entirely, he and the Warden step inside the cell.
INSIDE CELL C-1: Mr. Freeze and Doctor Octopus
CASTLE: " *motions with his hand* Against the wall inmate. Inspection."
WARDEN: "Well, you had to know this was coming. The good doctor was importing contraband. Albeit, vomit-inducing contraband, but contraband nonetheless."
Castle begins to take apart the top bunk, the one that belonged to Dr. Octopus. As he does so, the warden notices some miniature ice figures underneath Mr. Freeze's pillow on the frozen bottom bunk. He pulls out three ice figures that look like ponies.
WARDEN: " *holding the pony figures before him* What in the hell are these?"
CASTLE: " *smirks* I think they're 'My Little Pony' sculpts. Men who like that are commonly called 'Brony or Bronies'. I think that Mr. Freeze here might be one."
WARDEN: " *gives Castle an odd glance* And how do you know about that? Nevermind. So, our big bad diamond stealing snowman likes a little kids show? It's bad enough we have to keep your half of the cell like a refrigerator, we don't need you designing it like a ten year old girl's room. Destroy these."
FREEZE: "I will remind you, revenge is a dish best served COLD. And one day soon, you shall experience a sharp CHILL running down your spine. This feeling will come from my ICY hands wrapped around your throat."
WARDEN: "That so? We'll see about that. Find anything, Castle?"
CASTLE: "Beside the ponies? Nothing. Room's clean."
WARDEN: "There's this rumor going around Freeze, bout an escape attempt. Maybe Doc Ock here was a part of it, maybe not. Maybe you are. You wouldn't happen to know anything about an upcoming escape attempt?"
FREEZE: "Why would I help you?"
WARDEN: "Oh, because I control your true number one adversary now. Not Batman. Rather, Mr. Thermostat. And you wouldn't want him getting any warmer, would you?"
Guard Castle and the Warden leave cell C-1 and began walking back toward the offices.
INSIDE CELL A-2: Zod and Riddler
Zod has his arms crossed, he stands before the glass just staring forward. Riddler is lying on his back atop the upper bunk, he holds a Sudoku puzzle book before and writes in it ever so often.
RIDDLER: "That was some epic showmanship, your introduction to our planet. 'You are not alone' Well done. I'm always questing for knowledge, expanding all my mental capabilities. So, question: what was Krypton like? And, did you guys have 3D televisions?"
ZOD: " *looks at Riddler annoyed* You claim to be a human of vast intelligence. Yet, I don't think Earth's greatest mind could even comprehend any of Kryptonian life, even our simplest of concepts. This was my people. Achievements built upon the backs of thousands of generations. My life's purpose, only to protect and encourage all that is great of Krypton."
RIDDLER: "Oh I see. No 3D televisions then, huh?"
ZOD: "Are you purposely trying to provoke me? You'll soon regret such a course of action human."
RIDDLER: "No. No. Of course not, why would I do that? Like I told you, I am the smartest person in this place. I'd rather be in your good graces, oh benevolent one."
ZOD: "You can begin to, by assisting me out of this forsaken holding unit."
RIDDLER: "Now that's a good puzzle. Though this place seems simple enough, it's actually uniquely reinforced."
ZOD: "If you can be of no help, then remain silent human."
RIDDLER: "You ever see Avatar?"
Zod's face begins to tremble and grow brightly red.
INSIDE CELL D-1: Catwoman and Poison Ivy
Poison Ivy is laying on the bottom bunk and Catwoman is on the top bunk staring up at the ceiling.
CATWOMAN: "And they actually fought over you?"
POISON IVY: "Uh huh. I even got to see the Bat credit card. Hahaha."
CATWOMAN: "Perrrfect. That pompous fool, at least someone finally made Batman look downright ridiculous. Remind me to thank this Schumacher fella you spoke of."
INSIDE CELL B-2: Venom and Green Goblin
GREEN GOBLIN: "Now, when we enter the cafeteria I'm going to need you to create a distraction, while I get a special device from the cook. Think you can handle that? Hopefully your fat mouth hasn't tipped them off to our plan."
VENOM: "What kind of distraction?"
GREEN GOBLIN: "You really cannot be as useless as you seem, can you? I'm going to need you to cause a scene that requires the guards' attention. So, start a fight or something."
VENOM: "That I can do."
GREEN GOBLIN: "I hope so. But you being you, I know you'll just lose the fight."
VENOM: "Damn man, Sandman was right about you, you are a jerk."
GREEN GOBLIN: "And the whole Sinister Six is right about you. You're just a cheap throwaway, a last minute addition that has been forced upon us. You are wasted potential defined. Redeem yourself now. You better not screw this up."
Guard Blade walks past cell B-2, making his way to the central hub area of the cell blocks. He comes to the guard station, a desk with monitors, and he switches on the intercom.
BLADE: "Alright, you old inmates, show the new fish what to do. Line em up, it's dinner time!"
INSIDE CELL B-1: Magneto and Justin Hammer
Magneto is still sitting on his bunk, leaning against the wall book in hand. He occasionally glances at Hammer with disgust as he turns the pages. Hammer is seated at the chair in front of the desk, biting his fingernails. The room is creepily silent, only the sound of Hammer spitting out removed fingernails can be heard.
HAMMER: "So, what'd you think of that Mandarin twist?"
Both look toward the glass in unison as Blades intercom message is heard.
HAMMER: "Wonder what's for dinner?"
I would like to greatly thank everyone who read this series. It was fun.
